THURS. JANUARY 3, 2019:
DRAMA MINISTERS YEAR OF
“THE OVERFLOWING EXPANSIONS .”
“IT IS TIME TO BEGIN TO SEE CORRECTLY”
Jeremiah 1:11-12 NKJV
[11] Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
[12] Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.”
Mark 8:22-25 NKJV
[22] Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him.
[23] So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.
[24] And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.”
[25] Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.
Inside the very first Newsletter of Mount Zion Christian Productions, our first published newsletter, before our name was changed to Mount Zion Faith Ministries, was published and circulated in 1985. And inside the newsletter were visions and objectives of the new ministry:
“To be the first drama ministry to produce the first Nigerian Christian movie for the edification of believers and salvation of souls.”
“To make Christian films as alternatives to the secular movies of the Nigerian theater artistes”
Those are two major objectives out of many other objectives of the new ministry.
At the time the Lord was giving us this great vision of going into Christian movie production, the existing movies at that time could be counted on our fingers.
At the National Festival of Christian Drama held at International Gospel Center, Ojoo Ibadan In 1987, organized by Mount Zion, there was a joint major drama presentation by drama group co-ordinators that were present at the Festival. In that prophetic drama presentation , on stage, before the whole audience, we were bringing out the names of existing movies and tearing them and stamping them under our feet and replacing them with the names of drama groups and ministries that were present in that Festival at that time.
At that time: THERE WAS NO NOLLYWOOD.
.
The movies around us at that time were those movies of OGUNDE, ADE LOVE (Ade Afolayan, the father of KUNLE AFOLAYAN), the movies of Moses OLAIYA Baba Sala, and some Yoruba historical movies. Then there were those horrible demonic TV Serials.
We counted all existing movies and prophetically tore their titles on stage and trampled them under our feet, and prophetically lifted up the drama ministry and future Christian film productions that would cover all the land.
WE SAW CORRECTLY.
WE SAW WHAT THE LORD WAS SHOWING US IN THE SPIRIT.
WE SAW INTO THE FUTURE WITH EYES OF FAITH.
Today, Christian movies is spreading everywhere in Nigeria and Nigeria Drama ministers are spreading Their tentacles to other African Nations and Europe and America and Arab Nations.
WE SAW CORRECTLY.
WE SAW WHAT THE LORD SHOWED US AND GRABBED IT.
WHAT WE SAW HAS COME TO PASS.
At The time we acted that prophetic Christian drama by drama group coordinators we were still trying to find our footings in the ministry of drama.
BUT WE SAW CORRECTLY WHAT THE LORD WAS SHOWING US ABOUT THE FUTURE OF DRAMA MINISTRY IN NIGERIA.
The Lord promised Abraham that He would make him father of nations, that he would bless him with a child and that his seeds would be as many as the stars of the sky.
However, at a time, the Lord told him:
Genesis 15:5-6 NKJV
[5] Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.”
[6] And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.
Abraham had to look up in the sky and believed what the Lord showed him.
HE SAW CORRECTLY AND BELIEVED WHAT WAS SHOWED HIM.
Then the Lord Counted that acting Abraham for him as Righteousness and all what the Lord told him came to pass.
Jesus healed the blind man,
BUT HE STILL DID NOT SEE CORRECTLY.
HE SAW MEN AS TREES.
HE COULD. STILL NOT WALK AWAY FROM THAT PLACE, BECAUSE HE DID NOT SEE CORRECTLY, DESPITE THE MIRACLE JESUS PERFORMED.
JESUS HAD TO REPEAT THE MIRACLE ON HIM. NOT UNTIL HE SAW CORRECTLY, WAS HE ABLE TO LEAVE THAT SPOT.
Seven times Elijah sent his servant to go and look at the sea for the intervention of God in sending down rain upon the land. Six of the times, he saw nothing CORRECTLY. But Elijah continuously sent him back to go and look again until the seventh time.
1 Kings 18:44 NKJV
Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, “There is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!” So he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.'”
NOT UNTIL YOU SEE CORRECTLY WHAT THE LORD WANTS YOU TO SEE ABOUT YOUR LIFE, ABOUT YOUR MINISTRY, ABOUT YOUR MARRIAGE, ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN, …
NOT UNTIL YOU SEE CORRECTLY WITH THE EYES OF FAITH, WOULD YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR GENERATION.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR GENERATION DEPEND ON YOU SEEING CORRECTLY WITH THE EYES OF FAITH, WHAT THE LORD IS SHOWING YOU ABOUT YOUR LIFE, YOUR FUTURE, YOUR MARRIAGE, YOUR SITUATIONS AND MINISTRY.
This is what the Lord told Abraham:
Genesis 13:14-15 NKJV
[14] And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are-northward, southward, eastward, and westward;
[15] for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.
Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw with the eyes of Faith, the Land the Lord has Promised him and he got it for himself and his generations.
HE SAW CORRECTLY.
But the TEN SPIES saw DIFFERENTLY, apart from what the Lord wanted them to see about the Promised Land. They were consumed. They never got the promise of God. They perished in the wilderness. They never reached their destination. They never fulfilled Destiny.
THEY DID NOT SEE CORRECTLY.
THEY SAW DIFFERENTLY FROM WHAT THE LORD WANTED THEM TO SEE.
