Don’t Worry…

Quote for the Day
From the death of Muhammad in 632 CE until the abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1924,the *ummah * lived under a continuous political structure that asserted not merely a religious identity but legal authority, territorial governance, military expansion, and socio-political hierarchy. This unbroken lineage is the spine of Islamic history. The Islamic state was not an intermittent experiment; it was a continuous, institutionalised reality. Danny Burmawi
Blessed are the persecuted…
Quote for the Day
The result is a theological structure where Allah is distant, unknowable, terrifying, and abstract, while Muhammad is proximate, emotional, imitable, and ever-present. Devotion cenrres not on the divine, but on the man who claimed to reveal it. His will becomes law. His person becomes the lens of revelation. Danny Burmawi
Peacemakers…
Blessed!
Apostolic Summit Session 7
In this session, Dr Ben from Ghana shared by teleconferencing about his experience with John’s apostolic covering.
Derek Ott talked about the original slander against God and how the apostles witness to overcome satan’s accusations.
1 Kings 22:17-21
God has a heavenly household. He wants us to be involved in his counsel.
Deuteronomy 13:1-2
False prophets are allowed in order to test God’s people.
Deuteronomy 32:7-8
God gives nations inheritance
We are God’s nation and we need to be cleansed and purified.
The Lord’s portion is His people.
All the other nations were ruled by lesser spirits but Israel ruled by God.
The first person to be slandered was the Lord by satan. Genesis 3.
Numbers 14
You have rebellion in church, God had rebellion in heaven.
People are rebellious because they believe bad report. God threatens to destroy the people but Moses said if you do this the nation’s will think God is not able to save.
1 Corinthians 4:9
Apostles are witnesses. God’s answer to slander is apostles. They model the goodness of Christ and it multiplies through the church. This is the answer to the original slander against God.
Acts 8:4
Revival in Samaria but distracted by Simon the Sorcerer. He wants to buy the power to give the Holy Spirit. V. 21.He had not repented. They needed the apostles to come and bring discernment and confrontation.
Promise Isaiah 59: 21
“As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit, who is on you, will not depart from you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the Lord.
Apostolic Summit Session 6
Charles Harrison comes form the United States Mid-West. He is a quietly spoken, depp thinking man.
When Charles came to meet John, he came not to learn doctrine but to meet the man and find out whether he is a true reflection of Jesus. He has come to love the people of Peace Church, who stood by him when his wife passed away. He loves the fact that the church building is just a shed. We must seek God’s glory not glamour.
The opponents of the apostolic movement think that anyone can govern a church – teachers, pastors, evangelists – except apostles.
One concern that is expressed is that apostles are said t make decrees. John feels that this is a wrong term. Decrees are made by God and by kings. However, any christian can make a declaration or a command with justification, because we are made in the image of God. Our words carry power.
God trusted men to write scripture, so He can trust people to speak His words.
The opponents think that prayer is limited to making requests of God. The Bible talks of wrestling with spirits and powers. The Lord requires active, hands on, engagement.
In Acts 9, Peter prays to get in the Spirit, and then commands Tabitha to get up. In Joshua 10, Joshua issues a command for the sun to stand still. All of this is evidence that Jesus honours commands and declarations.
Apostolic Summit Session 5
It was unusually cool this morning, but warmed up as the day progressed.
It was Lloyd Gill’s time to share. Lloyd has probably as close a relationship with John as anyone. His special area of ministry is Africa.
When people say they are honouring John & Hazel (or anyone else for that matter), we are in fact honouring Christ who moulded them, raised them, placed them in families, and gifted them.
While it is true that there are false apostles, sometimes it means that they are people who have a calling but are not yet mature enough to take up the calling. This is like Moses who was called at the burning bush, but did not step into leadership of the Hebrews for another 40 years.
In Exodus 3:4-10, God says “I am coming to rescue your people so go and do it.” The fact is that God always uses people to achieve His purposes.
Whatever your call is, it is holy ground, whether that is to be an apostle or a mother or a labourer.
Apostolic Summit Session 4
The Friday evening session started with testimonies fro Peter Staines and Veronika Ott about how the Lord had led them into partnership with Apostle John Alley.
John then proceeded to talk about the error of cessationism, the doctrine that the gifts of the Holy Spirit and miracles ceased after the death of the first apostles or the completion of the New Testament.
Biblical errors of cessationism as evidenced in a polemic against NAR
1.Signs and wonders = miracles but see Hebrews 2:4
2. Signs are meant to confirm a message from the Lord. But miracles often come without a message
3. Signs and wonders confirm end times teaching by NAR
3. They assert that people always responded to Jesus’s miracles with faith. False.
4. If NAR miracles are to equal Jesus’s miracles, they should be easy to see.
5. Miracles will be so highly acclaimed leads to public news.
6. Surely the world would know if these miracles happened by NAR people. Countless people get miracles, but they are to meet needs not to be signs. The world is not interested in miracles and tends to ignore or dismiss them.
7. For the time being the NAR people have not changed the world in the way they claim.
