Alleluia!!
2012 is indeed going to be a year of reward. January had been quite exciting, known generally to be a month where people experience lack because of the huge expenses characterizing the yuletide season, and school fees of children’s resumption. But quite uncharacteristically, many people I know had experienced supernatural supply and abundance. Alleluia!
1. Two brethren passed their Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) Exams. For one of the sisters, the courses she came home weeping, that she had performed poorly, were the courses she passed well.
2. A brother got a VISA to the United Kingdom after three (3) attempts, it does not seem like a miracle but he was greatly encouraged. That at last the siege was broken in the year of Reward. Yours will break too in the name of Jesus!
3. Our Television programme started by the help of God. We have had two (2) episodes and the responses had being terrific.
4. Our programmes, When Prophets Speak, both at the Port Harcourt and Benin Churches held with profound presence, the impact and harvest are beginning to be seen.
5. God granted us and the brethren journey mercies in our numerous travels both within and without.
6. The kids are all back in school, all fees paid by the help of God.
7. Our office in Port Harcourt was seriously furnished by a family with imported Dubai furniture, Let somebody shout alleluia!
8. The times of prayer and fast, throughout the month of January was profound and fruitful.
9. The fuel subsidy drama came and went and somehow God kept us and brought us through it for now.
10. The hand of God is upon Nigeria, and He is dealing with the new face of terror called Boko Haram, surely it will come to an end in the name of Jesus!
11. As I do this mail, preparation are 90% as we host the International Training Programme called “KAIROS”. Pray, that by God we’ll leap over this wall in the mighty name of Jesus.
But, February, says the Lord, shall be a month of “Early Help” for Psalms 46:1-6 says “1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. 4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. 6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
Somebody, your help and helpers will arrive earlier than you expect in the name of Jesus. You shall not be stranded, you shall not be ashamed, you shall not suffer loss in the name of Jesus! Through God in this month with an Extra day, you shall experience Extraordinary speed in the name of Jesus!
Waiting to share in your testimonies
Blessings.

Alleluia!

Welcome to 2012, it was a lot challenging to write this mail for two (2) reasons:

1. The beginning of the year is usually full of activities for pastors;

2. A lot of very major events have happened and are happening around me, making me wonder which way our nation is really heading.

By God’s grace, December was truly a month of Comfort.

1. A brother was blessed with a bouncing baby boy in Kenya; another in Benin, after going through the pain of having a congenital malformed baby, it was joy having a healthy baby at last.

2. A Pastor was delivered from a ghastly motor accident, somebody asked her out of the vehicle she was to take and she obliged, before arrival, the first vehicle was involved in a ghastly motor accident.

3. One of our Pastors received great financial assistance for a major need in his life.

4. A sister received a great miracle in her health condition.

5. A Pastor received a major help to roof his church.

6. The brethren who wedded had a great time and no story was added to their ceremonies, we all travelled and arrived safely.

7. A brother passed his exams very well.

8. Our Annual Thanksgiving service was a huge success.

9. A sister’s major debt was cancelled in the USA.

10. Two miraculous conception was confirmed (a) after 5yrs (b) another after 2yrs with almost impossible medical condition. God will do your own in Jesus name!

11. I was privileged to bring the last word for the year in the early morning program called Dawn Train on RSTV, I was interviewed for 30minutes for free, can somebody shout Alleluia! On that program, I was asked, “What should people expect for 2012?” I said, they should not expect much from the government, and that things may actually take a more difficult turn, I did not know oil subsidy will be removed, but in the midst of the difficulties, God will bless His own, for He says to me 2012 is a year for REWARD (Gen. 15:1).

One Greek word for reward is “misthos” meaning to pay for service. God in this year will pay you for all your service in Jesus name!

The exaltation therefore is to be faithful (Luke 16:10-13)

- In menial things

- In monetary things

- In ministry things

One other question I was asked was about peace in the Niger Delta and in Nigeria. I answered that what we need is light and not peace, our nation is groping in the dark. The mail on the spirit of Sudan and boko haram has been quiet revealing. I would to God that our nation and her leaders see light in the mighty name of Jesus.

Finally, this will be a year of Comfort and increase for somebody in Jesus name (Psa. 71:21)

Mama Gilean called me from Australia and said Jonathan, it is a leap year, I then heard God say to me, “through God, somebody will leap over an impossible situation this year” in the name of Jesus (Psa. 18:29)

Blessings

11. God granted us multiple journey mercies in and outside our country.

October ended with some very painful experience, A brother lost his mother, another a sister, another a brother, another a neice and more traumatic, a pastor lost his wife. but, all these loses seems to prepare us for what God is set to do in November. For November saith the Lord, shall be a month of “FULL RECOVERY".
(1 Sam.30:7-8)
“And David said to Abiathar, the priest, Ahimelech’s son, i pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. And David inquired at the Lord, saying, Shall i pursue after this troop? shall i overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and WITHOUT FAIL RECOVER ALL.

1. For somebody, it is a month of a new beginning
2. For somebody, i hear double, for all your trouble your blessings shall come in multiple in the name of Jesus!
3. For somebody, it shall be a month of joy in the name of Jesus.
4. It is a month where your mouth shall be enlarged above that of your enemies in the name of Jesus!
5. It shall be a month of speedy recovery for somebody in the name of Jesus.

FOUR THINGS TO DO

1. Never run away from God - 1st Sam. 30:7 (So David enquired from the Lord ……]
2. Stay encouraged - 1st Sam. 30:6 (And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: But David encouraged himself in the Lord his God)
3. Take out every opportunity you find to give - Ist Sam.30:11-12 (And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat, and they made him drink water. And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him, for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights)
4. Do not be revengeful - 1st Sam.30:23 ( then said David, Ye shall not not do so, my brethren, wth that which the Lord hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.

Please, pray, plan and plant a seed into our church inauguration on 27th November, 2011 in Port-Harcourt. Theme: LORD DO IT AGAIN.
Ministerng: Bishop Solomon Gbakara
Looking forward to hearng from you.

Blessings.
Pst. Alao

Alleluia!

September was indeed a month of undeniable evidence.

Our son-ship meeting, the network arm for churches held with such presence that the ministers will not forget in a long time to come.
My daughter was given double promotion, it is significant because God was making me experience what the enemy denied us 8 years ago.

A sister got a job in the United Kingdom.
A pastor was given a house where he was not to pay rent for the next 5-7 years.
Doulos Christian Church Port Harcourt (PH) started meeting to pray as a church. A formal inauguration is November 27, 2011 in PH. Pray, prepare and plan to be there.
A brother got a job before finishing his NYSC.
A family moved into their palacious accommodation.
A sister greatly improved in her health condition.

Alleluia! God is not done yet! In October, the mercy of God will locate somebody for elevation in the precious name of Jesus!

What God started in September will be obvious in October, for this is our month of “overwhelming mercy” saith the Lord.

Mk 10:48-52 – Tells us the story of a man called Blind Bartimaeus, who was located at the outskirt of Jericho. For his sake the Lord passed through Jericho once and his life was no longer the same.

For your sake Heaven will bring around a major change in your office in the name of Jesus! May mercy go ahead of you this month like never before in Jesus name. May the things you labored for suddenly be within your reach in the precious name of Jesus! May you flourish and blossom like never before in the name of Jesus.
“For if a man’s way please the Lord, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him” (Provs 16:7). You shall have peace within and without in the name of Jesus. Somebody I speak over your marriage, I break the manipulation of the enemy over the mind of your spouse in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Blessings, Pastor Alao

Note: Please pray for the inauguration of the PH Church. I feel a lot of resistance, but that in itself is a very good sign.
