ABOUT AGBAPA
My beloved brethren, more grace to you all. I have noticed your joyful acceptance of our new innovations at Bible Reading And Prayer Academy.
This program did not just happen without the leadership of the Holy Spirit. I personally took some burden to the Lord in prayer.
Some of these problems have existed for some years and almost wear a look of impossibility.
Some of them have to do with the growth and expansion of our ministry, Amazing Grace Foundation Church.
Another area of concern was our lukewarm attitude towards evangelism. We are not making enough disciples for Christ.
Then the disloyalty and betrayal of few among us to the Church and her leadership. I also felt the burden of the personal problems of some individuals that have lasted long enough, seemingly refusing solutions.
After all my talking and complaints, the Lord simply told me to go and make my Church a Prayer Band - (Lo so ijo re di ijo egbe aladura.) At first, I was confused because as you all know, we have various effective prayer programs in the Church. But as one thing led to another, Holy Spirit used events to make me understand what the Lord was leading me to.
And today, I present to you AGBAPA; Amazing Grace Bible Reading And Prayer Academy, as the outcome effect of that divine inspiration.
The idea here is not for your General Overseer to stay put in a mountain, asking you to come over to receive the anointing. And it is not a crowded prayer meeting where we gather to shout and lament.
You know everything your G. O. gives you is always exceptional. We are yet to see the type of your 72 hours Chain prayer program elsewhere.
The Prayer Band being introduced now is a School that all Amazing Grace members must attend. It is one year Spiritual Academy program where you choose a convenient one hour by yourself, in which 30 minutes of it is devoted to Bible reading and the remaining 30 minutes is spent in prayer.
Every member of the Church, both at home and abroad does this on a daily basis and sends a report to his or her Team Leader through WhatsApp or some other means you will get to know.
It is said to be an academic school because as you read your Bible and pray, Holy Spirit Himself will start teaching you a lot of things. Remember, Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would teach us things concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment. John 16: 7-13.
He would minister to us the baptism of fire and of the Spirit. Mat 3:11, Acts 1:4-5, 2:1-4.
He would ordain children of God into various spiritual offices in the Church. Such as Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Vision-seers, Dreamers, etc. Joel 2:28-32, Ephesians 4:11-12.
As we all unanimously pray and read our Bibles, these and many more we should expect to happen to us.
The Lord will go around to visit Amazing members' homes to distribute these gifts to us one by one. This is one of the reasons you should stay close to your Team Leader so that as it is happening to you, we can know how to follow you up immediately.
Instead of planning things in a way that would make all of you to fix your eyes on the G. O. for your needs, I have decided to open up the heaven for you, so that you can receive directly from Christ through the Holy Spirit. So the G. O.'s duty is only to monitor you.
Of all the churches you have attended or visited, have you ever come across one, where entire members, home and abroad, had read the Bible all through? That would be achieved in Amazing very soon. And when it is actualized, the Church and its members would not remain the same again.
This is a real Holy Pilgrimage and I do implore you to join me as we begin on Monday 1st of May, 2023.
The Lord has promised me that sicknesses and diseases will disappear in our bodies as we go. Problems, sorrows and long-time tribulations would vanish. Mountains of oppression would evaporate.
Keep sending your testimonies through your Team Leader. Your new identity would soon be revealed.
Just be determined and stay faithful. At the end of one year, all those who successfully complete the task would be certificated.
The one-year Bible reading plan I prepared at the tail end of your 72 hours Chain prayer book, nine years ago, which we never cared to use is the reading plan for the exercise. Get your copy if you have not done so. However, the Principal/ Coordinator, Sister Olubunmi Arojo has concluded arrangements to make the reading plan available for those of us on WhatsApp. But you still need a copy of the book in your library.
God bless and more grace to you all.
General Overseer
Pastor Sunday Olabode Fakunle.
