Psalms Reloaded: A Pentecostal Landscape for Prayer, Warfare & Worship By General Evangelist Ojo Emmanuel Ademola CAC Nigeria and Overseas

đź”° Introduction “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” —Hebrews 13:8 In every generation, the Spirit of God raises a sound. In the Old Testament, the Book of Psalms was the altar of that sound—where kings wept, prophets warred, and worshippers ascended. Today, in this digital age, that same altar remains open. The Psalms are not relics of ancient devotion; they are living scrolls, prophetic blueprints, and spiritual arsenals for every believer. Pocket Landscape of Psalms for Diverse…

✝️ Time to Honour Truth: A Prophetic Call to the General Executive Council of CAC Nigeria and Overseas

Few moments in the sacred journey of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Nigeria and Overseas demand as much courage and clarity as this hour. The legacy of Pastor E. H. L. Olusheye—once a central figure in the 1990 schism, later a repentant elder—stands as a mirror to our collective conscience. His public apology and the press release “Time for Truth and Unity” (2014), published in The Nation newspaper, were not merely a gesture of remorse—they were a prophetic call to return…

Taking Risks for God

Taking Risks for God

By Fred Childs Risk taking is an essential ingredient in ministry in the Kingdom of God. Most Bible heroes were risk takers. Jesus was a risk taker. Risk taking at times needs to be bold and calculated. Other times require spontaneity. The paradox is that in the realm of organized religion, institutional thinking, and even in many local churches risk-taking is non-existent. It is frowned upon. Most American Christians have never taken a risk. Most of them stay within familiar…

Not too Far From Home

By Michael McFarland   If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

How to Keep Those We Reach

How to Keep Those We Reach

By Unknown Author A question haunts many conscientious leaders. Although many people receive the Holy Spirit, many do not remain. Their new birth often proves to be more of a stillbirth. How can we reduce the number of stillbirths and lead newborn Christians into meaningful relationships with the Lord and the church? Statistics reveal that unless a new convert is able to develop six or seven new relationships in the church within 9 months, he will probably leave the church….

By Michael McFarland   "And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled"  (Luke 14:23) Compel:  to drive or urge forcefully or irresistibly.

Home Friendship Groups – My Passion

Home Friendship Groups – My Passion

By James Smith Home Friendship Groups (Cell ministry), are gaining greater and greater interest as we hear the success stories from those who have ventured into this ministry. The largest and fastest growing churches in the world are churches with HFG’s. 10 years ago, the Lord began to speak to me about a model of ministry that to my knowledge, no one was doing at that time. (little did I know) Often, I would look over the congregation and notice…
