Chosen for greatness – Pastor Yemisi Ashimolowo – Seat of Honour

Praise awaits You in Zion; it is due to You Oh God and highly befitting on You (Psalms 65:1 AMP). With their garments of praise and apparel of thanksgiving, God’s people walked fabulously into the presence of the most high to give their dues of praise and thanks to our God who is beautiful and splendorous in His majesty.

 As the people entered His court, Thank You Jesus, Thank You Jesus was the resounding song of thanksgiving offered to our God. The song was re-echoed to the tune of Hallelujah, Hallelujah and Amen, Amen.

This season has been characterized with newness as decreed by our Senior Pastor and wherever newness is displayed, joy follows. So, in joy, the people acknowledged the new things God is doing for them. I will sing praises to You at all time, the Avalanche declared in songs with the assembly. High praises went up to heaven to the Father of our Lord Jesus, the God of all flesh. Like a mighty rushing wind, their claps sounded high and higher. Shouts of joy went forth from the people as they praised God. Glory, hallelujah to the Lord. This praise rolled into worship as the people sang; all my heart desires is You; precious Jesus, Lord and Master is You. Indeed, God is our utmost desire!

PRAISE REPORTS – OUR GOD IS GOOD!

The testifiers were out in joyful procession to praise God for the miraculous. A sister was confirmed at her office where she was working as an intern. The confirmation came without having to undergo the exams. God by-passed protocol for her sake. A brother thanked God for supernatural health all through the year, he did not take any drug throughout the whole year. This is the covenant of health at work. Another brother testified that he was highly favoured at his work place. A sister was made the head of a digital station arrayed with a lot of benefits.

Another sister thanked God for the award she got during her youth service year. God also saved her when her car was about to get burnt. God raised men for her at the scene of the accident and her car was extinguished. Praise the Lord! Lastly, a brother who usually sowed all of his salary & was so broke that he trekked home from church for some time. However, when his time came; God showed up for him, promoted him in his office and gave him a well-furnished house in Central Business District, Abuja and also blessed him with a car. This is God at work. Hallelujah!

LET US PRAY

Reading from Jeremiah 31:12, Bro. Alex Izinyon led the people to pray that they receive new

strength and new oil on their head. With understanding, the people declared that their lives shall

be like a watered garden, and they shall not sorrow or languish any more at all.

Bro David Babale further led the people to pray from John 1:16 (AMP). They decreed that out of the fullness in Christ Jesus, they shall flow with favour upon favour, blessing upon blessing, goodness upon goodness. From Psalm 5:12, they further decreed that they walk in favour and are shielded with God’s favour.

After then, the Avalanche ministered If He did it before, He will do it again, the classic song by Tye Tribbett. God’s people were on their feet as they sang with the Avalanche; dancing, jumping, receiving the spirit of the song.

Pastor Modele Fatoyinbo came up stage and sang about God’s faithfulness. She led the people to worship as they sang faithful God, Hallelujah. It was a moment of unusual praise to God.

So awesome to have a great mother in COZA today. She is the co-senior Pastor of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), London; an international ministry with the largest church in Western Europe. With full excitement, she was welcomed to the Wealthy Place.

She titled her message; Chosen for greatness.  Her scriptural text were Deuteronomy 7:6, Jeremiah 1:5 & Ephesians 1:6. God has chosen you for greatness, she stated. He has called you, selected, approved, confirmed, designated, and set you apart for greatness unopposed. She said, you have to know who you are in God. When you know who you are in God, satan cannot molest you. It’s not about where you are coming from, but it’s about the assignment God has called you into. You are royalty and not a commoner, she established. You are special, she re-emphasized. Don’t try to please everybody, you cannot please everybody.

Why were we chosen?

We were chosen to be part of God’s family.

We have been chosen to be part of the body of Christ.

We have been chosen to be a witness. Let people know, you are a Christian. Light houses blow no horn, they just shine. Your life should announce God.

We been chosen to bring forth fruit.

We have been chosen to be God’s vessel.

We have been chosen to be his minister.

We have been chosen to be joint heirs with Jesus.

We have been chosen to reveal His majesty.

How to maintain this greatness:

She explained that to maintain this greatness; God has called you into, you must know God, have the fear of God, abide in Him, walk in obedient and humility, be kind to others, and work hard.

After the message, many were saved to be part of the family of God.

With great joy, the people offered God what is due to Him. They sowed seeds, gave tithes and offerings, dancing and singing to praise our God.

Pastor Wole Soetan welcomed those worshiping with us for the first time to COZA. They were celebrated and honoured for being in COZA. It was so amazing, having these people fellowshipping with us.

After then, Pastor Wole rounded off the service prophesying thus; may the Lord keep you & cause His face to shine upon you. May the Lord grant you shalom. Nothing shall be missing in your life and nothing shall be lacking. There shall be divine settlement. Glory Hallelujah!
