Welcome to our November Newsletter 2020. We are so glad to be in touch with you again.
inspite of lots of unforeseen challenges, due to the worldwide pandemic, we remain grateful for the many blessings and favour poured out on us.
Preparation is in top gear for the November Kingdom Come coming up this Friday the 27th. (Please See the flyer below). It's the last one for this year, as the last Friday in December is on Christmas Day. This Friday, Please join us on Youtube or Facebook, from 5 to 8.30pm. If however you need a prophetic word or you know anyone who needs healing, then do come out of Youtube or Facebook platforms and go unto the Prophetic or Healing Prayer Zoom rooms which open at 7pm and run to 8.30 pm. The links are on the flyer. The Lord is healing very many, so go and receive your healing. Don't forget to share your testimony of what the Lord has done.
We have your usual features in this Newsletter. Spending time in "In His Presence," Papa was trying to help us understand how powerful His Love is and how important it is to imagine He is our " Love" Power Bank, and therefore stay plugged into His love. In this way, the fear that all these challenges throw at us, will not make any impact. Rather, we will be those who help the world also get connected to Him.

THE "LOVE" POWER BANK. STAY CHARGED UP.
|
Since the advent of the mobile phone, the use of power banks has become common. A powerbank is the portable device used to charge mobile phones and tablet computers when you are on the move. It can also be referred to as a portable device that can supply power from its built-in battery through a USB port. In other words, they use circuitry to control any power in and power out.
This has been a rather challenging year for all of us. Apart from major changes and distortions in how we live, due to the pandemic, we have had great economic set back on every level. Major world economies have practically come crashing around us. Certain business sectors have all but collapsed. One of the greatest debilitating emotions that has been thrown at the world at this time, has been widespread fear. This fear has been so crippling that many have gone under. In other words, the impact of fear has been worse than whatever scenario they were afraid of.
1 John 4 v 18-19. reads " There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him, because He first loved us."
This implies that there's power available in God's love. John 3 v 16 tells us that God so loved the world that He gave us His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him, should not die, but have everlasting life. We learn here that God is the Source of love. This leads us to understand that this love from the Source, our God, is not only very powerful, but it's also perfect. This helps us understand why the perfect nature of the powerful love of God, is able to cast fear out completely. So torment, danger, everything associated with fear is cast out. We have confirmation from God that He didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1 v 7).
We thus need to learn to intentionally release God's love in our lives as we remain completely plugged in to God's love power bank. As we see the transformational impact of God's powerful love in our lives, then our ability to influence the lives of others increase.
The battery charge for our appliances only last so long. You then need to plug back into the powerbank. It's the same with our love, especially when we are under attack and feel very unsettled. When fear comes, one of the first thing that goes is the revelation that we are mightily loved by the King of kings.
Being plugged into the love power bank causes us to align with or be engaged directly with the heart of God. This is really what stands Christianity apart from every other religion. Father desires the restoration of the relationship He had with Adam (mankind) in the garden of Eden. He thus gave us His Begotten Son to die in our place on the Cross (1 Peter 2v24) so we would not have to die for our sins. God desires to puts His powerful love in the centre of our hearts making it possible to drive out tormenting emotions like fear.
With the fear and panic caused by the pandemic or any other attacks, sent our way by the enemy, our ability to spend time in the Presence of God plugged into the love bank, will keep us charged. Plugged in, we can worship, or stay in the Word, or listen to the voice of our God, or rest in His Presence. Our ability to stay plugged in will eradicate fear leaving us hope filled and secure in His love. These wide open arms of love give us a sense of safety, and assurance at a time when everyone else seems traumatised. This is what will attract the world to us, to ask how we can remain so calm.
We can then show them how to offload their pain, fear, depression etc. unto our God, thus keeping them plugged into the love power bank.
You don't normally buy a power bank just before you need it. You buy it sometimes as part of the accessories for the mobile. It's similar with us. You learn early to stay plugged into God's powerful love, so that when challenges come, you are not thrown around and put in a panic. In these situations, you are able to provide the stabilising effect because you are in the habit of constantly being charged up by your power bank.
1 Peter 4 v 8a further proves how powerful God's love is. It is able to cover a multitude of sins. As we soak in the forgiving grace Jesus made available, then we can easily extend God's love to others, even those who hurt us. We find that in these challenging times, it's so easy to get angry and offended at each other. We see lots of agitation in the world over injustices and many have lost their lives. Staying plugged into the powerful love of God Almighty is the way to stay charged up, so that things going on around you do not overwhelm you. Rather, you are part of the solution because you carry the powerful love of God.
Praying that our loving Father will hold us close and help us remain plugged into our powerful love bank especially in these challenging times.
God bless us all.

Testimonies... Lives Transformed...
|
In this edition, we have a write up from Oluseyi Adolphus, one of our Volunteers on the Abuja planning team. She is also on the Lapis Lazuli Ministry Healing and Prophetic Teams.
 I've been attending the Lapis Lazuli Conferences since 2016, but didn't full commit, nor volunteer, till about 2019.
All the conferences I've attended have been wonderful, but it was during the one in 2018 that I received complete emotional healing.
I had gone through some faith-doubting experiences about a decade prior that made be afraid to believe in God or trust in His word.
I had become more of a "God-please-do-this-for-me" kind of Christian than a "I believe-in-you-to-do- this" kind of Christian. I would literally beg that He did something rather than believe that He would do it. My past experiences made me afraid to step out in faith on anything major. I would always playing it safe as I didn't want to be hurt again by any 'God experience'.
While I kept serving and helping others, that part of my emotions was still there - unhealed. In addition, I was even afraid to have God revisit it with me. Clearly, there were boundaries between my Father and I. I couldn't bring myself to just trust that He will keep to His word or bring certain promises to pass.
I took some hours off work to attend the conference and was determined to allow God touch that part of me. I went to as many prophetic ministers as I was led to during the conference on both days to have a word concerning my situation.
Leif Hetland ministered on healing (I honestly can't remember the title) and he prayed for me. I literally felt something left me for good as he prayed the love of the Father into my heart. This kick- started the healing.
As the programme began to wind down, I was still going round to every minister to have a word. Just as I was about to give up, I took one last attempt and asked Dr. Sherri Lewis for ministration as she was leaving the hall and her words broke me and at the same time melted my heart.
Her words were so accurate and spot on revealing all my journeys with God and the hurts I experienced while at it. One of the things she said was, " God is telling you He is sorry for all that you went through. He wants you to trust again just like a baby would".
There and then I knew that the healing was sealed. I wept like a baby and felt the love of the Father all over me. I was in this mood for about 2 weeks. The love I felt by Father God was overwhelming.
Here I am today, full of love for the Father and have continued taking bold steps of faith like before for my Father.
Lapis Lazuli has been a blessing to me. I'm glad to be a part of this family of God.

May the Lord continue to uphold and preserve us all.
God's blessings,
Femi and Mina Bajomo

11. The Lord will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
12. Those from among you
Shall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.
