Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Tour To The Holy Land Israel

The man of God Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has joined the list of the men of God to visit the Holy Land in Israel, he went alongside his ministers and leaders across the BLW Nation, below are more information and picture of the trip as reported by LoveWorld Sat, one of the Media Stations of his ministry.

"Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Ph.D, led a one-week Tour of the Holy Land. The Man of God, Pastor Chris, was joined by Pastors and leaders from across the BLW Nation’s expansive reach throughout the earth for a highly-coveted tour of the holy land, Israel.

In the words of Pastor Lanre Alabi, the tour, being a first of its kind, is coming at the perfect time, “not a moment too late and not a moment too soon.” As the Man of God visits historic landmarks such as the sea of Galilea, everyone privileged to be there with him gains a more vivid imagination of the scriptures that are known to be alive in the BLW message.

 As part of the Holy Land tour, the president of the Believers LoveWorld Nation, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome visited the tomb where the Lord Jesus Christ was laid before He arose from the dead to the glory of God.  A member of the central executive council of the Believers’ LoveWorld incorporated, Reverend Ken Oyakhilome in the video below, shared his experience at the entrance of the tomb, saying everything he saw shows the enormity of what it took the Lord Jesus Christ to fulfill his ministry and the price He paid for the sins of the world. These sentiments were echoed by every person that witnessed what Pastor Chris and his team saw.

“We are seeing the Bible come alive,” says Pastor Ambrose Isesele, reporting from Israel. The ongoing tour of Israel, the Holy Land, has been a refreshing opportunity for all the ministers visiting important sites with the man of God.

The Holy Land Tour with Pastor Chris also featured  a special visit to the birth place of Jesus in Bethlehem. There was an atmosphere of solemn reverence as the man of God and his guests witnessed with their eyes what they have previously internalized through the Holy Spirit from the scriptures.

The Jewish Shabbat is the day of rest, consistent with God’s rest from creation on the seventh day. Throughout Israel, devout Jews abstain from ‘work’ as stipulated or inferred in the Torah from sunset on Friday till sunset on Saturday, the day of rest.

Yesterday, Pastor Chris and his guests spent some Shabbat time at the famous ‘Western Wall,’ where many local Jews and pilgrims come to pray. In the video below, CEC Member, Pastor T.T. Edun, discussed the experience at the wall and the future of the BLW Nation as a result of this timely tour with the man of God. In his words, the ministry “has definitely made a quantum leap forward by the Holy Spirit.”

The adventure at the Holy Land Tour with Pastor Chris continued with visits to various historic sites with the man of God.  Pastor and his guests visited Tel Megiddo, the site to host the last great battle (of Armageddon) on earth, according to Revelations 16:16. They also saw Mount Carmel where the Prophet Elijah defeated 450 Prophets of Baal. Probably most significant of all, they paid a special visit to Nazareth, Jesus’ childhood hometown.

The Holy Land Tour with Pastor Chris has reached as far back into the annals of Bible history as Mount Carmel and leaped forward into prophecies with the site of the future battle of Armaggedon.

However, in between, the tourists have experienced the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus like never before. From visits to ‘the place of skull’ (Golgotha) to the Garden Tomb of Jesus, it has been a surreal experience for everyone in the man of God’s company. Summing up the thoughts stirred in the hearts of the tourists, CEC Member, Pastor Ambrose Isesele says “It makes us remember once again that Jesus came, He died, He suffered for our sins, and we must tell the whole world about it.” 

As the Holy Land Tour with Pastor Chris drew closer to its conclusion, every guest was full of sincere appreciation for the opportunity to witness the scriptures come alive. There was a Gala Night at the Bible Land Museum.

Nepal Christians Return to Worship after Earthquake Turns Churches into Tombs

Am sure some of us if not all of us heard about the Nepal earthquake, to my great surprise and prove of never giving up, this great worshipers after the earthquake return to worship.

Read below more about this story:

Maili Tamang clapped and sang along as the remnants of her husband's Kathmandu church gathered for a noon prayer one week after a massive earthquake collapsed the "roof of the world."

"In God’s time, anything can happen," the 55-year-old mother told CT. Tamang lost her husband Maila, her sister, and three other family members when Vision of Salvation church, which rented rooms in a four-story commerical building in the Swayambu area of Nepal's capital, collapsed with 62 worshipers present. Seventeen members of the Pentecostal church, where Tamang's husband served as an elder, died, including senior pastor Elia Ghale and his son.

"We cannot decide our future or what happens to us," she said, surrounded by cracked walls. "Even after the world, we will be with God.”

Tamang was worshiping at a nearby Pentecostal church when the quake struck.

“I was standing in a row near to the wall and praying when the trembling started. The pastor continued the prayer and suddenly, everything collapsed,” she told CT. “I was half conscious and could heard people screaming. After one hour I was pulled out. While lying there, I knew God would save me.”

Meanwhile, pledging to spread God's love "even though earthquakes come," a small evangelical church in Nepal completed on Saturday its worship song interrupted by last week's natural disaster in the Himalayan Mountains.

The first-hand account from the International Mission Board is one of many reports surfacing of how Nepal's Christian minority is regrouping after a 7.8-magnitude earthquake collapsed many churches during their main weekly worship services.

Reporting by CT in Kathmandu reveals that an accurate tally of churches destroyed and Christians killed remains hard to come by, since anecdotal reports can be duplicated or exaggerated. But it is clear that many Christians died in their churches during weekly prayers. (The Baptist World Alliance reportsabout 150 Christian deaths have been confirmed.)

“I am getting reports of entire Christian families being wiped out in Kathmandu and outside,” Simon Pandey, chairman of the National Christian Fellowship of Nepal, told CT in an interview from his home in a Lalitpur suburb.

If the quake had occurred half an hour earlier, he noted, the casualties in churches would have been much higher. (Many Hindus died during worship services also.)

“The evangelical churches have suffered terrible tragedies,” Kala Bahadur Rokaya, general secretary of the National Council of Churches of Nepal, told CT. “It will take time to count the deaths among Christians across Nepal. Many areas are still cut off.” He feared more bad news was yet to come from mountainous and remote districts such as Gorkha, Sindhupalchok, and Nuwakot, which have many evangelical churches.

Of Nepal’s Christians—which comprise between one and three percent of the country’s 30-million population—Protestants were disproportionately affected by the disaster, a Catholic leader told CT.
