1. OUR DOCTRINE ON SANCTIFICATION

The command n sanctification dedication and holiness was early first made by God.
Be ye holy for I am holy
Sanctification is the second work of grace, while salvation is the first work of grace. In salvation Jesus comes and save the sinners, but in sanctification, the Holy Ghost comes and purifies the believer heart in salvation, Jesus is received Jn 1:12, but in   sanctification, the Holy Ghost is received Acts 2:1-4, Acts 19:2.In salvation sinner is benefited but in sanctification, the believer is benefited. In salvation the practical sins are dealt with, but in sanctification the inbred in (Adamic nature) is dealt with. In salvations the sins we committed are forgiven but in sanctification he sins we inherited from Adam are up rooted. In salvation our sins are covered, but in sanctification our inbred sin is nailed to the cross. Salvation is for sinner, but sanctification is for the believed. Our emphasis on holiness is base on the bible principle. It is wrong to live in sin and at the same time claims to live in Christ

1. WHAT IS SANCTIFICATION

Sanctification is the uprooting of inbred sin inherited from Adam, it is the purification of the heart by the Holy Ghost; it is the cleaning of the believer’s spirit. It is the spiritual circumcision of the soul. It is the work of the Holy Ghost in washing the believer purely. It is consecration of the spirit, dedication of the heart, purity of life, perfection of the saint and total holiness of the believer. It is infilling of the Christian and empowerment of the child of God. It is the actually meaning of “HOLINESS” it is the Christian perfection and killing of the old man in the heart of the believers after salvation.

1. IMPORTANCE OF SANCTIFICATION

Sanctification is very important in the life of believer after salvation because sanctification shall empower the believer, open his eyes and help the believer to walk with God, work for God. Worship God and live for God perfectly

There are many ways, many means and many method which the carnal mind or the inherited sin can manifest in a believer in Christ. Below are the ways to assess self and to know whether one is sanctified or not. Carnality is known by the manifestations below in the life of a believer carnality is shown and known and manifested by unforgiveness, pride, malice, bitterness, anger, hot temperament, envy, covetousness, ill filling, ill motive, evil ideas, weakness, prayerlessness, stinginess, high mindedness, compulsary lateness, compulsary discouragement, dislikeness to spiritual issues, carnal desire, worldliness, worldly desire, mockery, lust, worldly attire, rough dressing, double mindedness, unbelief, beauty focus, love of pleasure, Egotism, selfishness, love of self, love of money, fear, copromise, men pleasing position seeking, prone to offences, complaining, murmuring, slandering, despising of others, disrespect, hater of holiness, hater of truth, unnecessary debate, sinful desire, evil thoughts, boasting, carelessness, pride, boasting, self will, doubt, unbelief, retention enmity, truancy, negligence to duties and all manners of ungodly exhibitions. Note – check your self, consider your ways and discover whether your need is salvation or sanctification and seek the Lord today and HE shall answer you.    

1. HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED

Sanctification is a necessity and issue that demands immediate attention in the church and in the life of every Christian. In the first place, every believer must accept the possibility of heart purity, holiness of heart and the possibility of heart cleansing by the Holy Ghost after salvation. Every believer as well must see the need of entire sanctification after salvation from sins. Below are the scriptural steps to entire sanctification.

1. ACKNOWLEDGE THE CARNAL THREAT

The believer who wants to be sanctified must acknowledge the dangers, harms and the daily threats of the carnal mind. He must discover the activities of inbred sin in his heart and actions. He must discover that such manifestations of the carnal mind are not friendly and never spiritual. He must find ways to deal with it and to uproot it out of his heart. He must have such desire for heart purity and freedom from carnality.

1. CARNALITY IS DESTRUCTIVE

The believer must recognize the carnal mind or the inbred sin to be destructive, bad and in enmity with God. He must see it as an enemy that needs to be destroyed in his heart and life. He should not see carnal threat as his life style, nor as his weakness and never as his temperament and should not classified it as natural infirmity to people but must see it as Gods enemy in his heart and seek necessary means to uproot it.

1. FIGHT TO UPROOT IT

Life is war and every believer is a solider. Carnality is in daily war with the believer, pushing him to the world and hellfire every day. Unless the believer vows and fight harder after seeing carnality as an enemy, he shall remain undelivered. He must conclude, rise and fight with all prayers and reconciliation to get out the carnal mind. He should not joke with carnal mind because it is Gods enemy.

1. CONFESSION AND RESTITUTION REQUIRED

Confession and restitution are closest tools to fight carnality. Confess all carnal threats in your life, restore all wrong acquisions, evil words, bad actions and proper replacement of other people’s properties with you, reconcile with all you had misunderstanding in times past, pay those you are owing, clear you tuition fees and other debts. Clear all your student’s levies, pay your house rents, electric bill and other debts when the cash is available. Clear and settle any thing that disturbs your heart, obey God’s directives and surrender all to God, don’t fight with the Holy Ghost. Meet those you offended and those that offended you and make peace with them. Tell the Holy Ghost to purify your heart. Confess where necessary restore all to their rightful positions, reconcile with God and man, and tell God to purify your heart, cry but not laugh.

1. BE OPEN TO THE HOLY GHOST

Openness to the Holy Ghost is the key to heart cleansing. In heart purification, the Holy Ghost is sought with brokenness, with tears and with openness to the third person of the trinity. The presence of the Holy Ghost in the heart of the believer has many revelation, reconciliation of forgotten issues, reconciliation of old broken relationship, confessing of old and gone issues and apologies for old forgotten issues. It is always hard to accept, but when accepted, sanctification shall take place, the Holy Spirit will purify the heart and reside in the believer’s heart.   

1. RETAINING THE HOLY GHOST

To retain the Holy Ghost in the heart requires the believers daily obedience, constant prayers for continuous heart purity, constant faith in Christ continuous belief in possibility of sanctification or heart purity, Going extra miles in holiness and in daily righteousness, constant devotion, constant consecration, fervent prayers, watchfulness, self denial and daily application of the grace of God in your life by abstaining from every pollution and all that can defile your heart. Avoid mush talking, foolish talk, immoral watching and unchristian relationships. Read your Bible always and pray without ceasing. Dedication of your thoughts, your heart, your feeling and dedication of your desires to God can generate strong and over flowing power of God after sanctification.  

1. AFTER SANCTIFICATION WHAT NEXT?

There are some extra miles to go after entire sanctification of the believer which if not followed may lose the experience of the entire sanctification in his heart. There are for basic mandates to the believer after the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in his heart.

1. WALK WITH GOD: This means smooth and daily dependence on God, daily movement with God, adherence to the word, obedience to the voice of God and agreeing with what God wants you to do, be go and what He many wish you to be.  
2. WORK FOR GOD: After sanctification, if you remain idle, you must surely lose the experience. The apostles accompanied theirs with evangelism. To retain the experience, you must evangelize, preach, teach, work, go into the world and win souls for Christ and this must accompany prayers. Every sanctified believer must be busy for God if he needs more of God.
3. LIVE FOR GOD: This has to do with total love, total fellowship, total obedience, total adherence and total surrendering to God in every thing. It is the practical side of self denial, cross bearing and giving all to Christ due to the love and obedience you have for Him. This is both living and dying for Christ, for one can not live for what one can not die for.
4. WORSHIP GOD: This has to do with seeing God along, following God alone, bowing to God alone and offering to God alone. Worship means bowing reverencing and respecting God without any reference to known and unknown deity. It is summarized in worshipping God in truth and in spirit Jn 4:23-24.    

1. OUR DOCTRINE OF CHRISTIAN SERVICE AND WORSHIP

The believer’s in Christ are mandate to obey and to worship God in TRUTH and in SPIRIT. To worship God means to bow to Him, obey Him, sever Him, respond to Him, surrender to Him, rely on Him, offer all to Him, praise Him, pray to Him, sacrifice all that and eternity can produce to Him and to have all faith in Him. To serve God means to work for Him to be his servant, to live by His command, to go by His directive, to do His jobs, to do what HE says and to go where He commands, to be HIS servant and to be under HIS authority. There are many things involved in the true worship and service to God and there are also many things that are inevitable in the true relationship with God, there is no possibility in the true service and worships of the triune God without the heart ingredient of worship and service to God. They are part of worship and service to God as shown below.

1. PRAYERS

Every worship, either in the church, in fellowship, in focused ministry or n the family began with prayer. Christian prayer is both culture and tradition of believes gathering. Prayers must be focused, fervent, serious, fiery, quick, and lively always, attracting the power, glory and the presence of God in the worship the name of JESUS our advocate in heaven.

1. PRAISES

Every gathering of the saint’s demands praises to God no matter how short is such fellowship. Every individual devotion of a believer also damans praises to God. Praises is to appreciate and to thin, acknowledge and to bless the name of the Lord for His numerous blessing upon us. Praise are important parts of Christian worship. This is our holiness culture.

1. SOUL WINNING

The worship gathering of God’s people must focus soul winning, which is the supreme task of the church and the major purpose f Jesus coming Mtt 1:21, Luke 19:10. The growth of the church and conversion of sinners should be a great burden in the heart of every believer and the church shall putt this in practice by going into the world to preach the gospel and to convert sinners. This is our church task that is why we are called Redemption Campaigners Mission or Emancipation Proclaimers Assembly (Recamissio or Empras)

1. PREACHING

There is no other to be called the church, apart from the preaching center. It is meaningless to gather as a church either for payer meeting, for evangelism, for committee or board meeting, for worship or for any other thing, without preaching from the scripture. The most important aspect of Christian worship is preaching. This preaching is a MUST and must be done by the pastor, alter, worker, exhorter or by any person appointed to preach, but there must be Bible exhortation. This is our tradition.

1. BIBLE TEACHING (BIBLE STUDY)

The Believers are marked by their interest, love and willingness to study the bible. The worship of the true God is evidence in the dept of the bible knowledge of the worshipper. Bible exposition is the evidence of Christian spirituality. Every worship of the church demands Bible study is the most essential element of Christian worship. Bible must be taught to the people. We are bible believing church (Recamissio)

1. HEALING AND DELIVERANCE

Worship goes ministries. The preaching of the gospel must go with the healing of the sick and casting out demons. Jesus sent His disciple to preach the gospel and heal the sick and cast the devils Mk 16:15-18, Luke 9:1-11, Lk 10:1-12, Act 1:8. Genuine miracles and signs and wonders are some of the true evidence of the power and presence of God in the fellowship, therefore, the believers should seek the gifts after seeking the giver (Jesus). Worship of Gods people should accompany miracles, healing and deliverance. 

1. OFFERINGS

Any fellowship worship, believers gathering or ministry without offering is a failure and unbiblical. The offering of the people in worship is an important as the worship itself. Offering is the most important part of Christian devotion. Believers must give offering of their hearts, their money, their materials, their time and offerings of their seeds or fruits. Offering must come from cheerful heart, liberal hand, faithful soul and from reasonable head. It must be rich cash unto the Lord and never with stingy spirit.

1. THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving is the money, materials, items or animals even big donations we made in the church unto the Lord in appreciation to God’s protection, salvation, deliverance, miracles, and blessings or in appreciation to one good thing the Lord has done to us. This is the greatest acknowledgement in Christian worship. It is a “MUST PRACTICE” to every believer in the church. The church also can for thanksgiving service which shall be a day which all believers shall appreciated and thank God for all His benefits in their lives. This is very compulsory. Every member of Recamissio must see thanksgiving as a necessity in his life. 

1. SEED SOWING

Seed sowing goes with pledging (vow) unto the Lord. It is a product of prayers with vow to the Lord and when the prayer is answered, the vow shall be paid. Ps 50:14-15. Seed sowing is always a private business between the believer and God in the prayer room without the knowledge of any other person, just like Hannah did and gave Samuel to God, the child of Her vow, and just like Japheth did Judges 11:30-31, I Sam 1:10-11. The end of every seed sowing prayer is thanksgiving services unto the Lord. This type of seed sowing is an important area of Christian worship that is require of every faithful Christian today. This is completely different from seed faith. We believe that sowing must generate harvest as we naturally and spiritually see it.

1. SEED FAITH

This is another part of Christian worship. Seed faith is the declaration of ones faith in the power, authority and in the providence of the God which motivated the believer to bank his cash in the treasury of God for greater interest. Seed faith means sowing you money, property, item or any valuable thing in the bank, farm, treasury or in the custody of God for protection, multiplication, provision and for the better result in future. This is always a challenge to God which in turn results to greater miracles to the believer. This is always done openly or publickly unlike the seed sowing that is a secret vow unto the Lord.

1. GIVING

This is an important part of Christian worship and the Christian practice at large. Giving is the divine secret of receiving Lk 6:38. This is what Christian worship is all about. God commanded us to give. Giving requires and demands cash, kinks, materials, items and any valuable thing. Giving is a “Must practice” for every believer. Giving goes to God, therefore, let us give to the pastors, to the church leaders, to the church, to brethren, to widows, to orphans, to needy, to the poor, to beggars, to the sick, to the less privileged, to fatherless and to all the rich ones around us. This is the most practical part to worship God. Giving is an action of a true love and or the practice of a love Jn 3:16, Rom 5:8, Gen 22:2-13. Christian worship without giving is a failure and fake.  Members of “Recamissio” should see “Giving” as a serous part of our worship. 

1. BUILDING

Christian faith goes with building; our God is the master builder, while every believer is a builder. Building means helping others to grow, helping the church and gospel ministries to grow and contributing, donating and sponsoring the issues and programmes that shall develop to the Christian growth and progress. This is an important part of Christian worship in our era. Try this; let us practically build our structure or our church building. This is the believers business. 

1. SUPPORTING

Another part of Christian worship is supporting. This has to do with supporting the orphanage homes Bible colleges churches, hospitals and other gospel homes to survive. Your little contribution can be a great blessing to others and in the sight of God. To support and to sponsor are of great price and wonderful prize before the Lord. You can be involved in sponsoring poor minister in EL Theological College who have no money to pay their fees. God has many areas to pay you back if you do, pay and let me know this. Help the poor and the sick to survive.  

1. TITHING

Tithing is the most acceptable and most accredited means of worshipping  

1. Our conviction on what the church is

I will build my church (Doctrine of the church)
The church of Christ is the congregation of the saved and not the gathering of people. The church is the body of Christ, the saved citizens, the called out, the blood washed individuals, the believers in Christ, the candidates of heaven, the Christ like people and the congregation of men and women whose lives have transformed and recreated by the word of God. The church is not ordinary worshipper and never the mere organization, and not attending church of Christ without being born again or without regeneration. The true member of the church is only one in Christ, because the church is the body of Christ and never the building, and never gathering of sinners as we see today, we shall here unveil to out members and all that can read this all over the world what the church is and what the church of Christ is not. According to our faith in Redemption campaigner’s mission.

1. WHAT THE CHURCH IS NOT

The church of Jesus Christ is the separated body of the Lord, the spotless group of God and the saved organization in Christ. It is not a building not the worshippers, not the prayer group, not the singing group and not the giver of big gifts and never big cathedral, not any congregation and not gathering of people on Sundays or on Saturdays without genuine salvation from Christ. It is salvation that made the difference between the church and the congregation. The church is the spiritual wife of Christ. It is not sinful and not crafty organization and never money making organization as we see today in our society. The church is not for money but for the salvation of the sinners.   

1. WHAT THE CHURCH IS

The church is the spotless congregation, the body of Christ, the saved and blood washed organization. The church is the peculiar people of God, the saved and spiritual people, the sinless people, heaven bond people of God and all people with the mark of God. The church is both organism and also an organization of God. The church is the gathering of the holy man and woman or earth. Whose sins are forgives by God.

1. MEMBERSHIP OF THE CHURCH

The church has only one membership and that is spiritual membership that is linked with Christ and in Christ. The true mark of church membership is salvation or re – creation of the spirit. No body is a member of God’s church because of his attendance, office held or big recognition, but what constituted church membership is salvation from sins. No sinner is member of the true and genuine church of Jesus Christ. Church members of should consider themselves to know whether they are true members of the body of Christ or visitors in the house.  To belong to a group that worship on Sundays is different from belonging to the church of God. All members of the true church are those washed with the blood of Christ and saved from their sins. 

1. THE LIFE OF THE CHURCH

The church is the spiritual body of Jesus Christ, the son of God. The church must be spiritually focused holy and possesses, righteousness and faithfulness. The foundation of the church was built on Christ; therefore the church must be lively, spiritual, wise, and obedient to God, faithful to God, prayerful, loving and walking with God. The church is known for her faith, sincerity, forgiveness, spirituality, spotlessness, spiritual power, godliness, meekness and all forms of goodness with great spirituality representing God in every area of life. The church is a spiritual body of Christ. This is our conviction and confession in “Recamissio”

1. MISSION OF THE CHURCH

The mission of the church is “Go YE” There is no other assignment given to the church as  its mission than to GO into the world and to preach the gospel Acts 1:8, Mk 16:15-17, Mtt 28:19 -20, Lk 9:1-8 Lk 10:1-8. The true gospel of Jesus Christ is the, gospel that goes into the world to preach to sinners, convert sinners and bring sinners to Christ. The true church of Christ goes into the world to preach, but the fake church has the world come in without invitation. The fake church preaches prosperity to attract the world but the true church goes into the world and presents Christ. The mission of the church soul winning. Soul keeping, evangelism or soul conversion. The true church goes into the world in order to save sinners from their sins; any thing outside salvation of sinner is not the mission. The mission of Christ is also the mission of the church HE sent Lk 19:10, Mtt 1:21. 

1. MINISTRY OF THE CHURCH

The ministry of the church is to carry on the gospel where ever man is found, which shall accompany the healing of the sick, loosing the oppressed, delivering the bound, performing different kinds of miracles in Jesus name. The ministry of the church is called “sign and wonders” but signs and wonders or miracles are the products of gospel preaching Mk 16:15-17, LK10:1-12, Lk 9:1-12, Mtt 18:18-20. The church is called, assigned and sent to heal, deliver and bless the victims of sin and Satan. The miracles, sign and wonder are the benefit of the preaching’s and teachings of true the believers in Christ. Salvation is connected with signs and wonders if the work of God is involved after salvation. The ministry of the church is to preach Christ which shall accompany miracles, signs and wonders inorder to meet the mental, physical, body and emotional needs of people while the presentation, sermons and all soul winning businesses including preaching and teaching must be in the name of Christ Jesus. Minister should do the word of God, evangelize, preach to sinners, convert souls and go out into the world to preach the gospel which shall be followed with signs and wonders as we obey his word Mk 16:15-18.

1. SERVICES OF THE CHURCH

The service and other businesses of the church are to produce, groom and train leaders and workers who shall carry the gospel into the world. The services of God include stewardship, discipleship and building the saints in the holy faith. Jesus started by training adherents who later became apostles that carried this gospel to the world, this assignment was given to the church to train and to disciple men and woman who shall be leaders to carry the gospel across races. The church is to preach, teach advice and to build members to Christian maturity and to be more productive in the gospel ministry. The service of the church is to disciple people and to produce many stewards in Gods vine yard for the more productivity. Redemption campaigners mission is God, oriented mission and specifically called for world harvest.

1. FELLOWSHIP OF THE CHURCH 

The fellowship of the church is the fellowship of love, peace and unity. It is the fellowship of oneness with God and with brethren. It is pure and holy fellowship without sin, without hypocrisy and without hatred. All fellowship of the church demands confession of sin, love, reconciliation with each other, forgiving each other and prayers for each other. The fellowship of the church is called the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit on earth. Every member of this faith must avail him or her self for the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

1. WORSHIP OF THE CHURCH

The church worship the living God in Truth and in spirit. The worship of the church is the worship of faith, the work of faith and walk of faith. It is the worship that goes with faith and faithfulness. The church worships the living God in faith and in holiness. The church worships the father, the son and the Holy Ghost and the three are one God and never three gods. The church abides by the rules and divine principles, obeying God in all things and with all things through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. The worship of the church goes with prayers songs, praises and with dedication. Christian worship is with the total submission, obedience and consecration to God both in spirit and in flesh. We are no more ourselves, we are of God purchased with blood and surrender to Him. In our worship, we give God all at our reach.   

1. AUTHORITY OF THE CHURCH

The church is authorized by Jesus Christ to preach the gospel, to teach all nations and to carry the gospel across the culture, to heal the sick, save sinners, loose the oppressed, bind the demons and cast out evil spirits in the name of JESUS. The authority to rule the earth which is confirmed by heaven is given to the church Mtt 18:18-19. The authority of the church on earth is the greatest authority under the sun. The church is authorized to decree, to pronounce, to bind and to loose and to work all miracles in JESUS name. See Mtt 18:18-20. We are highly privileged to belong to this holiness church that God cares.   

1. MIRACLES OF THE CHURCH 

The church is the house of miracles. The greatest miracles in the Bible is the resurrection of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, while the greatest miracle in the church is the salvation of a sinner. There are four major and greatest miracles of the church, namely, salvation of the sinners, sanctification of the believers, the resurrection of the saints and the rapture of the church. These four major miracles are the basis and foundation of Christian faith, profession and Christian confession. The faith, hope and total confession of Redemption campaigner’s mission are hanged on these four greatest miracles of the church. 

1. THE MANDATE OF THE CHURCH

The church is mandate to live spiritually, holily, righteously, spiritedly, consecrated, dedicatedly, sinless, purely, faithfully, zealously, sincerely and obediently. The church is mandated to worship God alone with faith and faithfulness, in love and in compassion, serving others and worshipping God. Every believer in this church is mandated to live in agreement with the world of God converting souls, evangelizing and becoming very zealous in training believers. We are God’s sons by adoption but God’s servants by services and stewardship, thus, we are mandated to live like our father and our master.
 

1. THE MEANING OF THE CHURCH

The church is the wife of the Lord, the paradise on earth, the kingdom of God on earth, the house of God on earth and the separated people of God on earth. The church is called out, the peculiar people and holy nations. The church is the holy priesthood of God, the spiritual Israelites, and the peculiar people of God, holy generation, Gods Levites and the redeemed of the Lord. The eyes of God is upon the church as the faith of the church is upon our God. The church simply means God’s people, the separated and the blood washed generation prepared for the rapture and for the coming of the Lord. The church is the community of heavenly candidates and the family of God on earth. 

1. THE METHOD OF THE CHURCH

The church method of achieving her goal is through JESUS CHRIST in faith and faithfulness. The church does not use candle, holy water incense, miracle oil, miracle powder, miracle pomade, Jordan water, miracle rings, animal blood, brooms, coconuts, sugar, minerals and other religious and demonic items. The church methods of miracles is by prayer with faith and faithfulness with pure heart and sinlessness in Christ Jesus. Mtt 21:21-22. Any thing outside faith and faithfulness is sin. Prayer should not accompany any thing visible or invisible as means to attract God, but out prayers must be filled with faith, obedience, faithfulness, love and holiness unto the Lord.    

1. THE COMPOSITIONS OF THE CHURCH

The church is composed of four major issues or four major groups, both visible and invisible. The church is both physical and spiritual body observable and non observable building, visible and invisible structure. The church consists four major and indescribable branches.

1. The church as visible organization.
2. The church as an organism
3. The church militant
4. The church triumphant

These four major issues of the compositions of the church shall form a brief discursion here to help all understand our belief. We are Bible teaching church which helps our members to grow and be mature.

1. THE CHURCH AS ORGANIZATION

The church is made up of people from different town’s tribes and different races that joined together in Christ, with one faith, one Baptism, one confession and one hope. The church is an organization of men and woman with one Lord, one destiny and one God. The church is a group of believer in Christ. It is a holy organization, holy club and holy association. It is an organization of divine purpose built on holiness, faith and faithfulness. Every individual in the church is a wife to Christ because every individual in the church has definite relationship with Christ prepared to meet her husband at the time of rapture. Base on this love and holiness should reign supreme among the members.  

1. THE CHURCH AS AN ORGANISM

The church is an organism, because it has life, can also generate life, can produce, can give birth to children, can grow, can expand, can be fruitful and can also be developed. It is JESUS body and a living organ in JESUS CHRIST. The church is an invisible but a living organ in Jesus. The church is an organism and a living part in the Lord JESUS CHRIST. The true church of God is not self existing but a body of Christ that grows in Christ Jn 15:1-8.

1. THE CHURCH MILITANT

The church is a militant organization which is always in war with the world, with the flesh, with demons, with the world religion, with persecutors and always in greater attack with opposers.  The church on earth is known as the church militant because the members are still in flesh, facing the battles. Every living church in Christ is war with the enemies that is why it is called the church militant because it is still on earth facing different attacks and winning all. The church militant is the church that is not yet raptured but still on earth as we see today, there is no life without war. The only strong weapons in this war is faith, faithfulness, holiness, prayers, patience and wisdom. 

1. THE CHURCH TRIUMPHANT

The church triumphant is the church in heaven and the church that has raptured with Christ. The church triumphant is in view, in future, yet to come and yet to be actualized. The present church is called “church militant” the triumphant church shall begin at the rapture which is at the front according to the Bible. The triumphant church shall have the ecclesiastical and celestial bodies because it is the church that won the war on earth, before reaching heaven. It is called the successful church from tribulation. “He that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved” Mtt 24:13

1.  WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF GOD

The church is the body of Christ, the saints of God, the saved and godly generation. The world “CHURCH” means the Assembly, called out or the peculiar. JESUS purchased the church with His blood, founded by the Holy Ghost on the day of the Pentecost, the wife of the Lord and the rapture waiting congregation. We are the people of God and the church of Christ also called the body of Christ.

1. THE BODY CHRIST

The church is not the worshippers only, but the hopeful worshippers, waiters and the faithful, because they are worshipping the living God, waiting for the coming Christ and faithful to the voice of the Holy Ghost. The church is the gathering of the born again citizens of heaven, the congregation of the obedient and spiritual men and women. We are not here for our village and ancestral gods but for the living GOD how created the heavens and the earth.

1. THE REDEEMED PEOPLE

The church is the organization of men and women who were redeemed by the blood of the lamb, JESUS who through His death and blood He shed washed and saved the believers. His blood is too efficacious and very costly, thus, salvation is very free but not cheap. JESUS is our redeemer who through His blood and death at Calvary redeemed us. The church organization is different from market meeting, different from political meeting, different from village organization and different from religions gathering but the called out, God’s organization and the redeemed people of God who are waiting for the arrival of their master JESUS.   

1. SAVED BY GRACE

The church is the organization of the saved people. It is the group of people whose sins are forgiven by God through the works of Christ at Calvary. Salvation is the gift of God and special grace of God to man kind. It is by grace but earned by faith and not of good works. We are saved not because of the works we did but because of whom we believe, what we believe and believe Him. 

1. SERVANTS OF GOD

The church is made of men and women who are totally worshipping God, serving God, obeying God, living for God, working for God and men and women who are walking with God. The members of the church are called believers in Christ. Believers are God’s children by adoption, but God’s servants by services and ministries they tender to God and to general humanity. They Sonship of the believer may be meaningless and may be lost if the servant-hood is denied or dropped. The four major attitudes of the believer’s servant-hood are obedience, humility, services to God, and faithfulness. We are Gods servants in fulltime and in full services.  

1. MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL IN REDEMPTION CAMPAIGNERS MISSIONS

These five New Testament gospel ministers are divine gifts to the church for the edification of the church and for equipment of the believers Eph 4:11-12.

The under listed worship programmes shall be put inorder at their proper times and in their proper places.  We love progress and success in our worship.

Every thing in church worship must start with prayers, either collectively, individually or led by some one on behalf of the fellowship.

1. CHORUSES AND PRAISES

Choruses and praises are inevitable parts of the Christian worship. Choruses and praises should be assigned to the talented or gifted spiritual members of the fellowship. Tithes and offerings are conducted during fervent choruses and inspired praises in the church and a responding prayers by the clergy shall follow after the choruses and praises and after tithing and offerings. Choruses and praises are the continuous sacrifices of our hearts to God, which our God in turn inspires and motives our spirits to be closer to Him and to say “YES” to His order. 

1. ANNOUNCEMENTS DURING WORSHIP

There must be announcements on the weekly programmes, things needed to come, issues to know, good news, wedding, child dedication, death, meetings, things to do or things to avoid including reading of letters or welcoming new visitors, newly wedded, newly returned or announcement on government orders.

1. WORSHIP AND TIME MANAGEMENT

Apart from the preacher’s sermon (message) all other programmes during Christian worship must be designated with specific times and the fellowship must have specific time to start and specific time to close on each of its programme in the church?

One sided sermon kills and drains interest, confuses worshippers resulting to dwarfish growth of the members.

1. MANAGEMENT OF MINISTRIES

The management of Christian ministries is an important aspect of Christian worship. This means knowing what are lacking, what are needed and how to put things inorder within the ministries. It is important to know when prayer is needed, when evangelism is needed, when praises are needed, when deliverance is needed, the types of teachings or sermons needed in particular times and the types of personnel needed to solve one problem or the other. When there are problems in the church, the solution should be sought, the issues to solve the problems and the personnel to solve the problems should be seriously be sought inorder to bring lasting solution.

The chorister is a practical example of the music department of the church. The Christian worship is incomplete without praises, songs, melodies and heart touching voices like those of King David and Asaph in our Bible. Enough time should be given to the songs and praises during the worship of the believers either on Sunday or any other day of the Christian gathering. Believers should rejoice in the presence of the Lord during praises and worships.

1. DRAMMER GROUP

Despite the present DVD, VCD and other videos available today, the issues of drammer has not lost its power, meaning or its influence in Christian worship.

Spiritual and mature men and women should be selected for drammer in order to act and to convert and convince sinners and to strengthen the believers. The purpose of drammer in Christian worship is to convert sinners and to equip the believers and to show case the evil activities of Satan in the society and to use that as a means to deliver the demon possessed or the oppressed. It is a practical message of its self in the church.

The church is called to evangelize and to win souls for the Lord. The supreme task of the church is Evangelism. It is either evangelism or nothing. The church is either called evangelical or evangelistic board or nor of God. The church is not existing if it is not evangelizing. To actualize evangelism, the church shall map out evangelical team with zealous men and women headed by a hot and diligent soul winner whose works shall be to go out for evangelism, morning cry, street by street preaching, open air preaching, tract sharing, market evangelism, mobile preaching and who shall stand as active force to move the entire church for two by two evangelism, for crusades, for general church soul winning activities in the church.

OUR STAND ON MIRACLES

while we believe and know that there are many magicians who perform different kinds of magics both in the churches and in the society, we also know that there are many occult men at the pulpit today who perform different kinds of mysterious activities while we have seen and discovered different kinds of fake and false miracles in our days, we also believe that in the midst of all these, that God did not change, that God remains whom HE is. We also believe that God is still performing great miracles through His devoted and genuine servants. We believe that God’s miracles did not end with the apostles, but continue with the church while the church should be about God’s business. We believe that God is still using men and women to heal, to deliver, to restore, to quicken, to save, to effect changes, to raise the dead, to make the lame walk, to make the blind see, to make the barren fruitful and to pray God’s power down for greatness and for prosperity among the people of God. We believe that righteousness attracts God’s blessings, miracles, promotion and God’s prosperity. Nevertheless, we shall be very careful about the present age miracles, we shall not seek miracles, but we should seek the Lord who performs all miracles Mtt 6:33. For miracles in the ministries of Rev Prof Emma Ononuju and to see what God is still doing among men, please chick miracles or signs and wonders or Testimonies excited. In case you have questions about them, please feel free to contract him.
