THEME: PREPARING THE STAR NATION FOR THE SECOND COMING  

Welcome Greetings! Thanks be to God for the gathering of the righteous and faithfuls of God and His Christ in the land. 

We are assembled here at A Gathering of Hopefuls.  We are a people of;  

i. Hope for God,  

ii. Hope for Christ,  

iii. Hope for Church,  

iv. Hope for Nation and People of Ghana,  

v. Hope for Humanity and the Nations. 

 

PURPOSE 

I. To share on Christ’s vision and mission of A New Thing in the world 

II. To deliberate on the state of church and nation 

 

The Vision/Mission of New Thing in the world – Two dimensions. 

I. The New Thing in Gentile Nations based on Isaiah 42: 1-17 

II. The End-Time Global New Thing based on Revelation 21:1-5 

 

A. THE NEW THING IN GENTILE NATIONS 

The Vision/Mission – Gentile Nations reconciled, redeemed, transformed, and turned into Nations and Peoples of God (Isaiah 42:1-17)  

There are three sides to it: – 

a. The Gospel of Salvation and Redemption – the sin factor, the new birth, restoration of glory to man. 

b. The Gospel of the Kingdom of God – call to reconciliation and end to Satan-man kingdom world order, bringing peoples, nations, and creation back to God and under the abiding Hand, Reign, and Rule of God the Creator. 

c. The Reconstruction and Establishment of nation and peoples under God and His Kingdom order on earth.  This should reflect in democratic governance such as in Ghana where believers outnumber unbelievers/heathens (Tragedy……the lie and deception from Satan and the pit of hell  causing Christians not to engage in politics and governance with Christian and kingdom world view; thus church disengaged from politics, governance and government is a dangerous proposition; in fact an irresponsible and callous act where church accepts Christian political proposition. For example, in Africa, we have a situation of Satanism and idolatry, and standing Divine curse) (cf Isaiah 19:1-4, 19-25) 

The Bible declares in Joel 2:15-17  

“Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts:  let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.  Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them:  wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?  Then will the Lord be jealous for His land, and pity His people. Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto His people, behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith:  and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:  But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.” (Joel 2: 15-20 KJV)  

In Isaiah 19: 25, the hope is Africa My People. Psalm 68: 31-34 envisions this hope—envoys from Africa, Ethiopia with outstretched and a new Kingdom order. It can be seen that the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Christian faith create a new spiritual and social order, culture, and life for Africa online similar to historic Biblical Israel where church is nation and nation is church. The End Result:  “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.” (Revelation 11:15) 

 

B. THE END-TIME GLOBAL NEW THING 

The Mission: – Preparing the church as bride and the nations and peoples for the second coming. 

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:  for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.   And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.   And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:  for the former things are passed away.   And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.   And He said unto me, Write,  for these words are true and faithful.” (Revelation 21:1-5 KJV) 

This is a great mission agenda with much significance.  It has two dimension—establishing the Church in Christ, the truth, and the Kingdom vision/mission as of herself and in the nations.  God has placed Africa in a strategic position regarding the “New Thing” in Gentile nations. 

 

C. THE PLACE OF AFRICA IN THE DIVINE VISION/MISSION RE THE NEW THING IN THE GENTILE NATIONS 

Euro-Northern America have had the opportunity. They got things set in motion but soon turned off and rejected God, Christ, the faith, the Kingdom order, and Godly rule and governance and the Judeo-Christian culture, and finally the Kingdom of God on earth. Even the Euro-American church that parented church mission in African church has derailed from Godly rule and the Kingdom vision/mission. Philosophy and science eroded the Kingdom order. 

Philosophy, evolution, science, and technology have “dug holes” in and overthrown the Divine salvation/redemption/reconciliation/restoration/kingdom mission on earth.  Social constructs reject God—atheism, humanism, capitalism, communism, socialism, secularism are offshoot of and/or are in collaboration with the rejection of God and His Christ (please note – capitalism is dominated by the spirit of blasphemy and mockery of God Revelation13). 

The mantle now rests on Africa. The Divine gravitational pull of nations regarding the “New Thing” in Gentile nations now rests on Africa.  Africa has advantage over Asia in the matter.  Africa is more strategically placed for global pull for the faith in the Gentile nations and God Kingdom order because; 

a. Of closeness to Israel and Middle East (Isaiah 19: 24-25) 

b. African-Europe growing populations of peoples of African root marginalized and excluded in Europe is now the torchbearers of evangelism and worship in Europe. 

c. African-America and the Caribbean extensions in Africa. 

d. Latin America and pockets of blacks and mixed peoples in the islands are extension of Africa. 

The impact of Christ centered advancement, growth, progress, and prosperity in Africa will have a strong counter vailing challenge vis-a-vis on the progress and prosperity of Asia re the power of the gods and goddesses and religion—eastern religions and culture of Asia. Progress, growth, and prosperity under Christ, the faith, the Kingdom of God, and African culture will be profound. The national, continental, and global network based on the Kingdoms of God and Christ will be of peace and goodwill worldwide.   

 

GHANA IN THE DIVINE NEW THING IN AFRICA AND THE WORLD 

Ghana is an elected, chosen, reconciled, delivered, redeemed, married, restored, and established in the Christ (Messianic) Redemption and Kingdom order is a standing testimony (cf church mission in Ghana/Africa). “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom He hath chosen for his own inheritance.” (Psalm 33:12 KJV)  

Vision: Rebuild the broken walls of Ghana (was the voice from heaven).  “Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.” (Isaiah 62:10 KJV) – was the mission command.  

The Ghana Redemption Mission has resulted in a NEW CHURCH, A NEW PEOPE, A NEW NATION.  The accomplished mission has turned Ghana into Divine Heritage and a nation of Destined Glory. Ghana on the borders of Africa, some say center of Africa (Isaiah 19:19-22, 23-25) now shines as Star, Light, Model, and Gateway of Christ Messianic Redemption Mission unto the nations.  From Ghana and others, Africa is sending out missionaries unto the nations of the world. The new position of Ghana and Africa is a vision/mission for which Enoch Agbozo has been commissioned. This has been extended to incorporate the Africa Redemption Mission (ARM) motto: Africa is Free among others. e.g. Annual Celebration of Africa Day with church worship was initiated by GES. 

 

THE END-TIME NEW THING MISSION 

Bro. Enoch Agbozo, Apostle-Prophet to the church and nations, has also been commissioned and given the New Thing Order in the nation as a mission task. His main commission is To Blow The Trumpet Heralding the Second Coming. The message: JESUS IS SOON COMING.    

The End-Time New Mission in the Gentile nations and the world involves: 

a. Proclaiming the Gospel of the Everlasting Kingdom of God (Isaiah 9:6-7; Matthew 24:14) 

b. Revival and preparing the church as Bride to mead the Groom (Revelations 21:5;) 

c. Getting the church derailed back on track re Kingdom Building Mission (Isaiah 9: 6-7; Matthew 6: 9-13, 33) 

d. Gathering creation back to God 

e. Proclamation of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God 

f. Preparing church and nations re the Kingdom of God on earth for the second coming 

g. Preparing ground for the new heaven and new earth 

 

GHANA IN END-TIME GLOBAL NEW THING AGENDA 

Now the Spirit of the Lord is extending Bro. Enoch Agbozo’s End-Time commission to Ghana to make Ghana a theatre and launching pad for the End-Time Global New Thing mission. That is to say, Ghana is singled out to stand as “Jerusalem” for what we call the Divine Gravitational Pull of the Christ (Messianic) Redemption and Kingdom Mission for Africa and the entire world. 

Ghana has become a theatre for demonstration of the End-Time “New Thing” in real and effective practical terms by Jesus Christ and His church in Africa, nations, and the world.  The true situation is that Christ shall order, build, establish, govern, reign, and rule the Kingdom of God in the world. It goes without saying that the “New Thing” vision will demand a totally new system of government and social order in the world, namely, Theocratic form of governance—a Christ-cum-Davidic order as envisaged in Isaiah 9:6-7 and Isaiah 11. Ghana stands at the threshold to be the Light and Star nation of Divine New Thing in the nations and the world. The New Thing is a new Christ redeemed, ordered, established, and governance system re the Kingdom of God and His Christ for God’s reign and rule through Christ Jesus on the earth. 

 

THE MATTER BEFORE US 

i. The total New Thing mission in Africa 

ii. Church and nation being brought into the knowledge, understanding, and diligent action by church, government, chiefs/elders, nation and people. 

 

The spirit of the Lord caused us to arrange this Holy Assembly  

i. To convey the Divine End-Time New Thing vision and mission 

ii. To solicit understanding, acceptance, co-operation, and support for the special mission. This is an open invitation but yet confined to the righteous, faithful, and hopeful in the Church and nation. 

Action 1—the church sublime foundational requirement confronting the present state of church, government, and nation on one part, and confusion, and disillusionment of the people. The essential role of Ghana as start-up mission ground – The Spirit of the Lord put it simply to me. 

 

GHANA TODAY – 2013-2014 

The regime of lies, flattery, falsehood, and wickedness in the Church, state, governance, business, and national affairs as a whole has created crises and turned Ghana into a state of confusion and disillusion. Corruption, robbery, and thievery are not adequate in describing the crisis galore in church, religion, politics, governments, the economy and culture.  

What we face now are two things: 

i. The reign of plunder, terror and wickedness in the land 

ii. The decision to destroy the Divine election and establishment of Ghana as nation and people of God for His inheritance and God Kingdom order and its glory for Africa and the world. 

The unrighteous, unfaithful, and wicked in the land have banded together in the church, government, and state to prevent the rise of Ghana as Light, Star, and Glory under God for Africa. The deception and trap of Satan is money, silver, gold, and vanity. “The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.”  (Psalm 12:8 KJV) 

 

CONCLUSION 

Blessed be the Most High God for the Divine vision and mission of a New Thing in Gentile nations and in the world. Thanks be to God for the election and establishment of Ghana as theatre and star nation for the End-Time Global New Thing vision and mission, preparing the way for the Christ Second coming. The new standing of Ghana in Divine End-Time Christ (Messianic) Redemption and Kingdom Mission in the world places much a responsibility on the Church, Government, and People of Ghana.  

We believe in this regard, that the church people in Ghana—clergy and laity and the entire flock are the people with whom and through whom the Lord Jesus Christ can work out the New Thing vision/mission and prepare the nation for His Second Coming. This boils down to the Young Ministers and Youth of the church to rise up and accept the End-Time New Thing vision and mission in the world.  From the church Christ can raise His holy team, soldiers, workers, administrators, governors, priests, prophets, and kings for the nation. There shall arise a totally new church, new people, and new government for Ghana. The youth of the church and nation are the vessels of hope in Ghana for God, nation, and people.  We implore the Churches in Ghana to deliberate seriously and responsibly upon the matter.
