I send the Blessings of God to each of you.  I praise God for allowing each of you to be a part of the International Communion of Ministers, Ministries and Church (ICMMC). This network of Believers shall walk out the Purposes of God. The Word of God says we shall do the works that Jesus did and greater. John 14:12 (KJV)  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. The members of ICMMC greatest desire are to do the work of our Father.

 The time of separation is past and now the time of unity is with us.  My prayer is that brethren all over the world shall stand together as one to represent the things of God.  If we love God we shall also love our fellowman.  1 John 4:12-13 (KJV)   No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. [13] Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

 This is one of the ways the brethren will be able to communicate with to each other. I ask you to continue to look forward to upcoming communication from our Newsletter.  Also, ICMMC members you will be receiving newsletters from me “Under the Shadow of the Almighty”. This newsletter will give you revelations and words as God give them to me.  Praise the Lord.

THE CHARGE: “Dear Brothers and Sister in Christ, God by His Spirit, all men and women to serve Him according to the gifts bestowed upon them.  Ephesians 4:11-13 “ And He gave some, Apostles and some Prophets, and some Evangelist, and some Pastor and Teachers, v12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ.

That They Might Know Thee

by Apostle Dr. Kayode Odufuwa

It is a great privilege to come in contact with those who have known the True God. As the new Director of ICMMC Africa, I have that honour to know and to be under the covering of Apostle Bettye Jenkins, the Chief Apostle of ICMMC who ordained me and inaugurated me in Christ Anointed Tabernacle on 12^th August 2006.

These are what you get to enjoy as you come under the ICMMC umbrella.

As God has given me the grace to serve as present leader of Africa ICMMC, I encourage you to come together with us. Like Moses said in Num. 10:29. And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses father in law, we are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel.

Words Of Exhortation

from Rev. James Orr

Grace and Peace to you from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.  It is with great joy and excitement that I share a few things with you.                            

In conversation(s) with Chief Apostle Jenkins, I have grown more and more excited over the new structure of  ICMMC. This structure will cause a spiritual explosion to take place causing many to desire to come to Christ.

ICMMC structure each training section to build the Body of Christ to become stronger in their ministry.  Each topic will be empowered with dynamic teaching and revelation.

I exhort and encourage each of you to continue to stand together for the fulfillment and purposes outline in the ICMMC Handbook.  Please take time to read your Handbook so you will know what is expected of you as an individual and also as a Cooperate Body.

If you have missed your two yearly seminars then I encourage you to make every effort to get in the next scheduled seminar.

The next U.S. workshop will be held on November 4^th, 2006 at the Chapel Hill Public Library at 9:00 a.m.

A Message from Apostle Bettye Jenkins, International President International Communion of Minister, Ministers and Churches

TEARING DOWN YOUR  SPIRITUAL HOUSE

The Word of God says that the foundation is built by God.  He is the wise master builder.  He nurtures you and loves you. God built your spiritual house.  He comes to abide with you in this house. 1 Cor. 3:10-13 (KJV) “ According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. [11] For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is”. John 14:23 (KJV) “ Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him”.

The Word of God says “know ye not that you are the temple of God”. 2 Cor. 6:16 (KJV)  “And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people”.

1 Cor. 3:16-17 (KJV)   “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? [17] If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”

1 Cor. 6:19 (KJV)  “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”

How does one tear down their foundation? When you are experiencing difficulties, struggles, anger, disappointments, frustrations and sickness you start to regret your relationship with God. You start complaining, murmuring and talking about returning to your old days.  The Children of Israel did the same things. God had saved them from the hands of Pharaoh, yet each time the journey because difficult for their flesh, they started to regret their relationship with God. Numbers 21:5 (KJV) “And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.”

The Body of Christ spends much of their time going over and over, rebuilding areas of their  lives that should not have be torn down. You have gained victory in areas of your life, but have allowed those same areas to be torn down within seconds of turmoil and indecision. You tear down your spiritual house, and after soberness comes back to you, you go back and repent and start building your spiritual house again.  Too many in the Body of Christ spend their time wavering back and forth. When problems arise you can separate yourself from the problem, but you must stay connected to God.

The rashness of your mouth will cause you to tear down everything that has been established in you.  Eccles. 5:2-3 (KJV) “Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. [3] For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words”.

The scripture says that a foolish women pluck down her house with her hands. Proverbs 14:1 (KJV) “ Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands”.

This is true, even in  marriages . You start complaining  that “Nobody loves you”.  What you said was that God did not love you along with the person whom you are married. When trouble erupts, one or both of the partners will began to complain, and act as if they have no God to help them. Then if your marriage goes bad  you give up on your relationship with God. This means you placed your relationship with God on the same level as your relationship with a person.

The foundation can be torn down when sickness appears.  Job’s wife suggested that he tear down his foundation by cursing God and die.  Job refused to tear down his foundation. He recognized that a foolish woman would make such a suggestion. Job 2:9-10 (KJV)   “Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. [10] But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips”.

Your days for tearing down your spiritual house are over. Your decision should now be based upon the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39 (KJV) “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. [38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, [39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord”.

Therefore when you are being buffed to tear down your spiritual house stop, and know that God built that house inside of you. Then if God built the house, you will not tear it down. 

Praise the Lord 

Looking Unto Jesus

from Rev. Dr. Isaiah Adunola

LOOKING UNTO JESUS. Heb 12: 2 Life is full of ups and downs. Our journey on earth as Christians, is a race, and only those who run the race well, will receive the prize (I Cor 9: 24).” Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? so run, that ye may obtain”. When we face hardships and discouragement, it is easy to lose sight of the Big picture before us, who is "JESUS CHRIST, OUR LORD," but we are not alone, there is help. Many have made it through life enduring far more difficult circumstances than we have experienced.

Suffering is the training ground for Christian maturity. It develops our patience, and makes our final victory sweet. We must also remember, the great cloud of witnesses around us, those who have gone before us. Their faithfulness is a constant source of encouragement to us. We do not struggle alone and we are not the first to struggle with the problems we face.Others have run their race and won, their witness stirs us to run and win also.The Christian life involves hard work, prayers and evangelizing the Gospel of Christ; therefore it requires us to give up whatever endangers our relationship with God, to run patiently and to struggle against sin by the power of Holy Spirit. To live effectively, we must keep our eyes on Jesus.

Wives shouldn’t look unto their husbands, neither husbands unto the wives, but looking unto Christ. When we look away from Jesus and begin looking at ourselves, and our circumstances, we will stumble. We are running for Christ not for ourselves, we must always keep Him in sight.

God Bless.
