[2] Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon…..
[4] And the coast of Og king of Bashan,…..
[6] Them did Moses the servant of the Lord and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the Lord gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
[7] And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west,….
[8] In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness,……
[24] …..all the kings thirty and one.
When Jesus Christ turned six large pots of water into wine, in Cana of Galilee, He never took the miracle home, He instructed that the miracle wine be served to the multitudes. When he got the five loaves of bread and two fishes and multiplied it to feed thousands of people, He never took the miracle home to Himself, He handed the miracle bread and fishes to His disciples who distributed it to the thousands.
Before crossing the Jordan River, MOSES captured two capital cities of the Kingdoms of Sihon and Og. And on this side of Jordan River, in Canaan Land, Joshua captured thirty-one major cities of six nations.
The Land of Canaan was subdued after series of Wars. Joshua won the wars. The Captain-General led all the wars and gave Israel the victories. All Capital cities of the Zones, Provinces, Regions and Kingdoms were all taken. There was no single city that stood before them unconquered. They won the wars and took all the cities.
Joshua 11:23 KJV
So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
The verse above described the actual victory.
JOSHUA TOOK THE WHOLE LAND,….AND SHARED IT UNTO ISRAEL ACCORDING TO THEIR TRIBES.
The actual miracles at the Cana of Galilee was feeding the multitude with the water that was turned wine; and the beauty of the miracle of the five loaves and two fishes, was the feeding of the five thousand men without counting women and children.
SO YOUR MINISTRY IS NOT COMPLETE UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO DISTRIBUTE THE MINISTRY AND VISIONS TO FEED MULTITUDES WITH THE BREAD AND WATER OF LIFE….that is why you Conquered the Lands.
Many years ago, when we were growing up in the ministry, the Lord said to us that He would give us a Key to Ministerial Success in Drama Ministry, which we must keep with all tenacity. It was at the time that AGBARA NLA (The Ultimate Power) was released and there was much noise all over the Western and Eastern regions. The noises were much on the movies, but physically, materially and financially speaking, there was nothing on us to show for it. The movie was in circulation through many marketers; but there was nothing much we had to show for it. The money was not coming in to us while the marketers were making several hundreds of thousands at that time.
On one of the occasions, I walked to one of the marketers just to see if he would give us any thing for the movie he was distributing, I met him planning on how to quickly diversify into soap-making business, while the movie money was still flowing in. He gave me a lot of testimonies of how the people were queuing up to get the video-tapes of the movies, but there was nothing much I got from him.
At another time, we approached one of the marketers at another region after selling the movies for months in the heat of the huge demands, without giving us any money. We approached him and demanded for N10 from each tape he had sold. He called me back and said, he was not expecting me to behave worldly for asking for money from him, since he was also helping us to spread the Word of God by selling the movies for us. We were dampened. It was during all those moments the Lord said He would give us a Key to Success in Drama Ministry, which we must never throw away. Then He said the Key is: THE MORE YOUR MESSAGE SPREAD, THE MORE YOU ARE BLESSED”
It has ever become a slogan to us in Mount Zion and we have shared and spread the Slogan to all drama ministers we have got contact with and a lot of drama ministers have made it their Key too. So, when you see a lot of christian movies from many Drama Ministries been sent to TV stations all over NIGERIA, and many channels in other AFRICAN nations, IT IS BECAUSE WE STILL HOLD THE KEY.
I HAVE TURNED DOWN MANY OFFERS THAT WOULD HAVE SHUT DOWN ALL MOUNT ZION MOVIES ON ALL YOU-TUBE CHANNELS…BECAUSE WE STILL WANT TO HOLD THE KEY..AND NEVER WANTED TO DROP IT.
I HAVE TURNED DOWN SEVERAL MULTI-MILLION NAIRA CONTRACTS THAT WOULD HAVE BOUGHT EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS ON ALL MOUNT ZION MOVIES AND SHUT DOWN ALL SOCIAL MEDIA CARRYING MOUNT ZION MOVIES,….BUT THEN, WE WOULD HAVE LOST THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN DRAMA MINISTRY.
SEVERAL TIMES, FINANCIAL LACKS, EMBARRASSING DEBTS AND PRESSING NEEDS HAVE TEMPTED ME TO DROP THIS KEY AND EXHIBIT MY LEGAL AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY POWER TO, AT LEAST, TURN SOME STONES TO BREAD FOR US TO EAT….BUT THEN, I WOULD BE LISTENING TO THE VOICE OF THE DEVIL AND THROWING THIS KEY AWAY.
AND TRULLY, OUR ACTIONS IN DRAMA MINISTRY MAY LOOK STUPID AND FOOLISH….BUT THE FOOLISHNESS OF GOD IS WISER THAN THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD….WE STILL HOLD THE KEY:
“THE MORE THE MOVIE AND DRAMA MESSAGES SPREAD, THE MORE WE ARE BLESSED”
In Drama Ministry, we may not have a lot of money presently, but, there is no doubt that we are blessed. As our movies bless lives and heal people’s souls, the blessing of the Lord is coming upon us.
Therefore, IF YOU STILL HOLD YOUR MOVIES, OR MUSIC OR GIFTS TO YOUR CHEST, or keep them under your bed, because you are looking for opportunities to make millions out of it, YOU HAVE NOT ACTUALLY POSSESSED ANY LAND. YOU ARE A BIG-TIME LOSER, because no one is getting saved by your effort and no life is get transformed by your labour. IF YOUR FOCUS IS MONEY IN DRAMA, MOVIE OR MUSIC PRODUCTION MINISTRY, YOU CAN NEVER GO FAR AT ALL…AND YOU ARE NOT FIT FOR THE WORK.
On many occasions, we have come across children of God of divers gifts in musical instruments who sell their gifts in the church of God. They go round churches on Sundays to play and use their gifts for the Lord and be paid. They charge God some money for using their gifts for Him. They made sure they were paid for playing guitars, pianos, drums, sax, etc. They didn’t want to play the fools. They demanded to be paid for any thing they do for the Lord in His house. I PITY THOSE GROUP OF PEOPLE SERIOUSLY. I SERIOUSLY PITY THEM, BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY THEY CAN GO FAR ON THAT WAY AT ALL. They have not learnt how to possess the land and share it so that they can possess more. THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE THEIR GIFT FOR THE LORD WHO GAVE IT TO THEM. THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO GIVE HIM BACK WHAT THE HAVE RECEIVED FREELY FROM HIM. if all you know to do is turning all stones to bread, you have failed ever before the ministry has began, because that was the first test the devil brought to Jesus at the beginning of His ministry.
Take the Land and share it! Possess the land and Distribute it. The more lives you are able to touch with your movies and dramas, the better for you and the Kingdom of God. SO, INSTEAD OF THINKING OF HOW TO MARKET THE MOVIES AND RECOUP YOUR INVESTMENT, START THINKING OF HOW THE MOVIES CAN REACH AND TOUCH LIVES AND SOULS OF MEN….ANYHOW. THAT IS WHEN YOU BEGIN TO GET FULFILLED IN THIS MINISTRY OF DRAMA EVANGELISM.
Since we have kept the Key and have held on to it, have we ever regretted one day? No. We may not be recognized in the Entertainment Circle for National and International Awards…WHO CARES FOR AWARDS….What we need is REWARDS from God for our labour for the reformation and salvation of the souls of men we are touching. If at anytime, it comes our way, fine. But it does not worth pursuing.
We may not be qualified to Walk on Red-Carpets of Media Recognitions…WHO CARES ABOUT ANY RED-CARPET OF RECOGNITIONS? We have Outgrown that Hunger and Thirst for Empty Shadows of Ephemerous Mundane. All those things are Focus-Stealers or Ministerial Defocusers.
LET’S KEEP WINNING THE WARS AND SHARING THE LANDS AND DISTRIBUTING THE SPOILS.
MIKE BAMILOYE.
