THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE
Psa 36: 9, John 1: 4, I John 1: 7, 8
Gods breath (Gen2:7) is what made man a living soul, it means the breath of God is his very life which he gave to us (man) that made us in his image and after his likeness . This same life is in the son (JESUS CHRIST) (I John 5:12) here the bible says “he that has the son, has life and he that has not the son has not life’’ having the son therefore guarantee life to every believer. Life in itself is the very essence of our existence as God’s elect. Life is what makes us his minister and what makes up the ministry he has given us .let us start by examining the following terms;
Who is a minister? A minister is a channel or a medium through whom the life of Christ flows into others. From this definition, it means a minister must have life for him to give it out; for it is impossible to give what you don’t have. It is this life that the minister gives that defines them as Christ’s ambassadors.
The way and manner through which this life in a minister is dispensed into others is what is called ministry. From this definition, it is clear that ministry is bigger and larger than the four walls of the church.
The place from where life from every minister is being transmitted into other people is referred to as pulpit. From this definition again pulpit is not that carved wood or that beautiful glass well decorated with the name of Christ inscribed on our altars in our different assemblies. The pulpit is actually a mobile entity because the church is never a monument but a move.
You can have a minister ministering from his pulpit in his market place especially if he does secular job. The scripture above (Psa 36: 9) referred to God as the fountain of life, but there is something else that is complimentary though out the scripture with life and that is the word “light”.
From the fountain of life (Psa 36: 9) David said “in His light we shall see light” again in (John 1: 4) the bible says “in Christ Jesus was life and the life became the light of men”, which means that every one called of God receives, first, life from God and this life brings forth light from them. What then is the relationship between life and light?
In Adam, death (Spiritual death) reigns in everyone but in Christ Jesus cometh righteousness so we have an equation like this:
Righteousness = Life
X
Sin = Death
After cross multiplying you have;
From the equation;
1) Righteousness will overcome sin;
2) Life will overcome death, however, if righteousness can truly pay for sin it means then, that it is only He that knew no sin that must become sin (II Cor 5:21). This is exactly what Christ did for us.
3) The wages of sin is death as seen in the equation
4) The reward of righteousness is life
When you cross multiply these two equations, then you have something like this;
Righteousness {Death}
Life {Sin}
1) Righteousness will swallow up death;
2) Life will swallow up sin with righteousness that Christ imputed unto us (Rom 5: 17-19), it comes with abundance of life in Christ Jesus (John 10: 10).
The light that comes forth from the life is of utmost importance to many believers. David said “we must see light in that same light; it means that this light must become our guide and our guard, the light must lead us always into God’s mind. We must not at any time spark our own light, if we do we will need to walk in that same light that we have sparked (Isa 50: 11). Light literally means also that which guides and leads. The believer is referred to as the light of the world (Matt 5:14) by Jesus Christ. This light is the outcome of the life that is in the Son of which we had all received, we are to light up our world, we are to impact knowledge of the truth of the Son of God so that His glory will cover the earth as the water covereth the sea(Hab 2: 14).
Arise and shine, therefore, for thy light has come, His glory has risen upon thee. (Isa 60: 12)
God bless you.

As Apostles, you are given special Grace to rule from the spiritual realm which controls the physical.
You rule on your knees as you intercede for the nation....
You are not an apostle because you are well travelled, or because you control a large crowd or congregation, or by the size of the wealth you have acquired...

I was just a teenager the First time I listened to him. He had been invited for a conference and I remember while he presented the message, I was pondering over every line uttered by this man. They hit me like:"Wow!" so much so that I thought, after the program I would personally thank him for being such a selfless tool for service! The Conference ended and I missed him because everyone just wanted time with him.
Well, I just consoled myself that "Maybe next time."
Years after, here we are getting to know more about him and his eighteen years in ministry thus far.

Now, since the Church is not a structure or ediface and we do understand the Church to be us (The very elect of Christ who is the head of the church) it is also established that we are essentially created by God to reign and rule, just like we have been created in His own image.
Then, why the many controversies surrounding the Church and governance?
Why do the Church consider Politics as evil?
What is the place of the Church in nation building?
What are the likely implications, if the Church remains passive in Nation building?
