Look Up to Get Up! (Psalm 121:1-2)

I was broken, then God picked me up!!!

I was 12 years old, when I started sleeping around, doing drugs and drinking. By the time I was 13, I was out of control. I had huge anger problems and I would give my family such a hard time. My life just kept getting worse… I thought I was worthless and everyone was against me, so I started to cut myself to feel the pain that I was feeling inside. After a while I thought that there was nothing more to my life. One night I was so angry that my mom had to call the police because I was so out of control. Then I was put into the hospital and was diagnosed with depression. Because of all the drugs I had done, I was always hearing heaps of voices and stuff. After one month, I was released from the hospital. It didn’t last long, I tried to kill myself by taking an overdose. I came so close to death that day. I spent three more months in the hospital, was released and admitted one more time.

However, this time was different, my brother invited me to church so I went and I was touched by God. I felt things that I had never felt before, I felt love like I had never felt before. Every since that day I have been a Christian. I am constantly telling everyone I can about Jesus and his love for them. He restored my broken heart and now I am stronger than I have ever been. I am in bible college, pursuing the life that God has for me.

Wisdom speaks to you and me

21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, 22How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 24Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh. 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. (Proverbs 1:21-33)

Help us Father God to be obedient to your call.

Heart of a Pastor (Jeremiah 3:15)

Today I thought about how so many of us carry past hurts into new relationships, even past hurts from church to church. We come out of the world seeking help for already hurting situations. Things we wish we could leave behind. Past hurts from family members, people we thought were our friends, negative things we have heard spoken into our lives, abuse from relationships, among many other things in life. Then we come into the church and as we are looking for help we never in a thousand years expect to be hurt, on top of the hurt from the world, to have hurt from the church to be added to it. Yes, the word of God says in Jeremiah 3:15, “And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding”. Sometimes we come with so much baggage that we either can’t hear the pastor and the word of God that He/she is bringing forth or we are hurt in the church and don’t see where any good is being done.

I believe that if we really love as the word of God says to do, not with romantic love, family love, or love between friends but love with agape (unconditional) love then maybe, just maybe the love of Christ can work in us and we can really share the love of Christ from heart to heart. I John 4:6 says “God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. The word also talks about leaving the old things behind in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”. Remember, we have to allow God to first wash away the old hurts so that He can replace the void with more of Jesus' love, peace, and joy. The word says in Jeremiah 31:3, “The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee”. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end”. Don’t allow the devil to stop you from reaching your destiny.

Ask God to turn the stony heart flesh, for God to forgive you and help you to forgive others and then to forgive yourself. Seek God’s face while He may be found. Know that Jesus is in control and you no longer have to hold onto the hurt but to allow the love of Jesus to wash over you so that others see the Jesus in you and ask what must I do to be saved? How can I get rid of the hurt in my life? Lead them to Jesus and let the Lord have His way, all the time truly loving them from the heart in Jesus name.

Pray without Ceasing! (I Thess. 5:17)

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” (Ephesians 3:20)

When we join together with one accord lifting up prayers and supplication unto the Lord; salvation, deliverance, healing, and restoration comes. Activated faith moves God to come and see about HIS children and all that concerns us.

Join with us and pray for:

Deaf ears to hear; Blinded eyes to see; Mute tongues to speak; Lame bodies to be strengthened; Withered limbs to be restored; Hearts to be molded; Minds to be transformed and the Will of men to be conformed to God’s will.

God said, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
(2 Chronicles 7:14)

Fast so you can Last... (Matthew 17:20-21)

Fasting can be done in different ways. Today we will talk about different kinds of fasts:

1. The normal fast: is going without food for a certain period of time and you take in only liquids (water and/or juice). The length of this fast can be 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 1 month, 40 days.

2. The absolute fast: allows no food or water at all, and should be short. Although Moses fasted for 40 days; this would kill anyone without supernatural intervention, and should not be attempted.

3. The partial fast: allows one to omit certain foods or to be on a schedule that includes limited eating. (examples: omit one meal a day, eat only fresh vegetables for several days, or eat only bread (whole grain) and water for many days) People who have hypoglycemia or other diseases might consider this fast.

4. A rotational fast: consists of eating or omitting certain families of foods for a specific period of time (example: bread is eaten every fourth day and the various food families are rotated so that some food is available each day).

Things to Remember: Never jump right into fasting. Always be prayerful and follow Gods leading. Extreme care should be taken with longer fasts. Talk with your medical care provider before starting long periods of fasting. Prayer and fasting go together, never do one without the other.

Binding and Loosing (Matthew 18:18)

Faith is the key… “So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17) We have to stay in the Word because it is the cornerstone of our faith. Our power source is faith in Jesus Christ and His Word. When we come to the knowledge and understanding of this we are ready to put Matthew 18:18 into practice, “Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” When we loose we release or invite the Holy Spirit to accomplish in us what the will of God is for our lives. Our willingness opens us up to God so that He can freely work as He sees fit in our lives, families or situations.

However, we must do Our Part. God does not do everything for us, we have to do our part. “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore CAST OFF the works of darkness, and LET US PUT ON the armour of light. LET US WALK HONESTLY, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But PUT YE ON the Lord Jesus Christ, and MAKE NOT PROVISION for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.” (Romans 13:12-14)

We must be truthful with ourselves! Wake up to what is going on, walk honestly, and put off the works of darkness. When we hold on to past or pet sins, they keep us bound. We must cast off those things that pull us down spiritually. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you and start changing them with the help of the Lord. We are to put on the armor of light and the Lord Jesus Christ, as we would put on our clothes. Make up your mind at the beginning of each day, not to fulfill the desires and lusts of the flesh. Ask God to help you walk in Holiness, so you will not sin against Him. For we can do nothing without God working in our lives. When we will to act, God is then released to pour His power into our life so we can overcome. Remember: “in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” (Romans 8:37)

Just Doing My Thing…

Hanging out at home, my mom called me to do my chores. One of these chores included doing the dishes. I disliked washing them, or putting them up for that matter. The stack was always piled high, and I typically moaned my way through them; so, upset I walked into the kitchen, and started to do, what I was expected to. I cleaned them, and gently placed them in the dish rack beside the sink. My mom came back, and I stood there so proud of the work I had completed; then, she turned away, and walked back to the bedroom. My mouth dropped, and I instantly felt so unappreciated. However, when I later spoke with her about it she simply replied, “why should you be thanked for something you were supposed to do in the first place?”

I think many times we as believers can get like this. We get so wrapped up in saying, “Hey God, look at what I did!”, that many times we are unable to remember that this is why God had created us. Jesus shows us in (Luke 17:7-10), that we as believers should not be so boastful of the things we are expected to do, the things God commands us to. No, instead Jesus tells us we should say, “We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.” (Luke 17:10)

Where has the Gospel Reached?(Matthew 28:18-20)

Ambassador Isaac O. Omoniyi started the Great Generation Gospel Drama Ministry with the full power of God after much prayer and conviction from DADDY. When I gave my life to the Lord Jesus Christ about four years ago, I became a member of the Gospel Team in my local church, Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA), we went out evangelizing and preaching the word of God, taking our example from Jesus Christ preaching from town to town and from house to house. Jesus never stayed in one synagogue to preach, he traveled from one synagogue to another. I also joined the Drama Department of the same church in order to win more souls into the kingdom of God. Immediately after my conversion, DADDY quickly showed His heartbeat unto me which is evangelism, soul winning and rescuing of the perishing souls of His kingdom. This lead me to be part of the Great Gospel Crusade of the Christ For Other Nation (CFAN) headed by Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke from Germany that took place in Kwara State, Nigeria in year 2004, the state I reside in and I served God as a member of the Counseling and Evangelism Team. Later in the same year, I became a member of a drama ministry in the same state I reside, after much restless thought and prayer on how to win souls to DADDY. Unfortunately I could not go along with this ministry because of the zeal, vision, mission, power, anointing, ordination and the way DADDY had chosen and called me. For some time; weeks and months, I was not at peace nor rest of mind concerning winning of souls for DADDY.

I was functioning as part of the Gospel Team in my local church and the church based drama ministry. As time went on, the members in my church-based drama ministry were not full of zeal and power for the work committed unto them all, I was greatly disturbed and it seem they are quenching the fire in me. I could see that souls were perishing everyday in my generation, I did not know what to do. I asked myself, “Can I move with these people?”, “Are they helping me this way?”, “Can we both save souls by working and walking in this way?” I had many more questions in my mind. More and more I felt the burden weighing on me. There was no rest of mind, only pain of spirit, because souls were not being won and I could feel that I was not pleasing God - “DADDY.” The Ministry of Soul Winning became my life. Glory be to God in the highest! Later, DADDY told me to start a Drama Ministry of His own that would be managed by me as the President. God gave me conviction towards the calling, He gave unto me the name of the ministry to be GOSPODRAM Network (Great Generation Gospel Drama Ministry Network). He used some materials and books within my reach to handover to me the constitution of the ministry - The Commandment. God has inspired and encouraged me in many ways concerning the ministry. Before, I did not know how to write plays or messages, but DADDY taught me. He also showed me how to compose songs in an instance. I thought how do I start, with-whom, where, when? In a twinkle of an eye, God gave to me some youth who happened to be my friends in faith and one a Christian from school that use to disturb me to give my life to Christ in the secondary school days - when I was still an unbeliever (he is a prayerful brother). We later started the first meeting with vigil in year 2004 in the house of our General Secretary. God opened the door for our meeting place, in a class room of one Nursery and Primary School of a church of our Treasurer; CUM (Christ United Mission, AKA Chapel of Love).

We zoomed on praying and working for the ministry. We face many struggles and challenges, there arise valleys and shadows of death in the work and walk of the ministry, but to God be the glory. His grace is sufficient for us. Hallelujah. Many demands are placed upon us, as all members participate part-time, while attending to work and school; but we thank God because God is there for us and guiding our steps (Psalm 23). Daddy told me that GOSPODRAM Network is not limited and encouraged me to move forward. We asked members from different denominations to join us for the work of the kingdom through drama. We prepared membership messages, letters, conferences, plays, drama, and songs, etc. We thank God, the ministry which started with only three members, can now show-up with over twenty committed, dedicated, prayerful and powerful members, united by one vision. As one brings two and two brings four and the ministry continues to increase. Praise God in the heavens. Amen. The Class-room we were using could no longer accommodate us. We prayed to daddy, where do we go? After much prayer we wrote an application letter to the board of Elders in my local church. God opened another door and we were able to secure a very nice children church. We are doing fine and moving greatly. “Upon this rock I build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Mt. 16:18). We thank God for fulfilling His promises over our ministry. As I seek God for direction, He keeps me on the right path as the President of the ministry concerning any case over the ministry. God talks to me and encourages me, concerning the ministry, how He gives us victory over the enemy and how He will grant unto us Financial Victory. We never know how God will work to fulfill the visions that He has shown us concerning the ministry, we just believe he will. We believe that that GOSPODRAM shall be great and have a great impact on this world for the kingdom of God. "...but rejoice because I have conquered the world even in the mist of the valley of the shadow of death.” Daddy has been proving unto me that He called me. Different things continue to encourage me in the ministry.

We are on the mailing list of ministries and individuals worldwide, as they keep me encouraged and on track in the ministry with their free-will gifts, words of encouragement, prayer and love. Ministries such as: Tony Alamo Christian Church (Pastor Tony Alamo) in USA; Turning Point Ministry (Dr. David Jeremiah); Equip Ministry; (CFAN) Christ For Other Nations (Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke); Vision Workers International Ministries (Deaconess Barbara Dixon) in USA; Soul Organization India (Pastor Timothy), etc.

In year 2005, when the ministry members saw the magazines, Newsletters, Bibles, T-Shirts and Sweat Shirts from Pastor Tony Alamo they were all full of joy and it encouraged their commitment and dedication. The Newsletters were distributed and lives were touched, the Bibles were used to help Christians and converts that are unable to purchase bibles for their own use and spiritual development. All Glory to daddy in heaven of heavens.

Where are we NOW?

Toward the end of the year 2006, daddy told me that in year 2007, we are going on location for the shooting of the film "the Glory of His presence". I do not know how it will happen financially, however, we have the script fully ready. Many other things are needed to get ready and prepare for the location, shooting, editing, etc., although we do not posses them, Daddy has told us that "He will not give vision without the provision.” We believe now know the film project for year 2007 is a reality. Amen. The ministry is working towards having the Gospel on tape for film houses, home video and individuals to impact the Word of the living God into the lives of this generation. People can sit in the comfort of their home and God will minister unto them through a message, play, drama, on tape and CDs. Amen. The ministry, Great Generation Gospel Drama Ministry (GOSPODRAM) Network evangelizes often, distributing Tracts, Newsletters from Pastor Alamo and other ministers of God for salvation of souls in our own generation.

Encouragement for everyday life… (Psalm 8)

He is with you!!!

This promise is Christ’s assurance to those involved in winning the lost and teaching them to observe HIS righteous standards.

Jesus arose, is now alive, and is personally interested in each one of HIS children. He is with you in the person of the Holy Spirit and through HIS Word, no matter what condition; Weak, Humble, Poor. He cares for you and watches with concern, every detail of life’s trails and struggles. He gives both the grace that is sufficient and HIS presence to guide you home.

This is the Christian’s answer to every fear, every doubt, every discouragement, every trouble, and every heartache “He is with you in the person of the Holy Spirit” Be Encouraged!!!

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)

Vision Workers International Ministries

“COMPLETE The Work In Me” is a Ministry of Vision Workers International Ministries. COMPLETE began the birthing process August 28, 2006 when a Vision was placed in the spirit of Deaconess Dixon of a newspaper that would span the globe connecting like spirits with like minds making a positive impact on the Kingdom of God. It was completed on November 24, 2006 with the dream “COMPLETE The Work In Me” (John 17:22-23) as the Holy Spirit moved upon me I felt an urgency to get up and move. While God is completing the work in each of us, we work to bring unity to the body of Jesus Christ. One Body coming together to reach One Soul for the honor and glory of One Spirit; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. I thank Father GOD for choosing and using me to bring this vision to pass. I thank each and everyone who has shared their testimony, inner thoughts, visions and dreams, time and talents to be used all for the glory and honor of GOD. My prayer is that anyone who reads “Complete the Work In Me” will be changed from the inside out (spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically and financially). Please contact us with your prayer requests, comments, questions and suggestions.
