Spiritual Revival Meetings for the congregation at the head church at Kumbakonam AJC Ministries was organized on 9, 10, 11 August 2019. Coupled along with the dedication service as the church was renovated, these days of special gatherings paved way for the entire congregation to be revived in their spirits and to be united in Christ. All the Pastors along with a few of their congregation believers from the 100+ branches of AJC Ministries across the land joined in to give thanks to the Almighty for His marvellous doing.
The dedication programme, worship sessions, special word of God was altogether knitted with the uniting presence of the Holy Spirit. The word of God brought forth divine encouragement and healing in every soul's spiritual life. A rare bond of fellowship amidst the believers from different branch churches bloomed, as each one strengthened one another in prayer.
In spite of numerous oppositions and unfavorable situations which are natural in any spiritual gatherings, the name of the Lord was lifted high above and the banner of Christ was manifested by His marvellous works. Truly, He works beyond our comprehension.
All the sessions were focused on "Christ-like Character", which is the undebatable way of reflecting Christ in every born-again believer's life. The motive of AJC Ministries is to show people that we can walk with God and reflect Christ.
Few excerpts from the sermons:
- Psalm 15: 1, 2 "who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart".
- When you do not unite your heart with God, no man can drag you to near Him. God walks with a man to the extent he yields himself to manifest His character in him.
- You gotta decide in your heart to turn back to being upright. When your heart is steadfast to be upright, you'll not quote reasons for your inability to stand firm! When you turn from your wickedness, you can withstand all troubles in ministry!
- The strength given by God is to walk in your uprightness.
- The steadfastness in faith will make the world to bow to Him. The question is, "Will you be that Person?"
- Christ-like character is not based on gifts of the Holy Spirit. For, it is not the gifts that will take you to heaven, but the fruits of the Spirit.
- Gifts are needed for the growth of the church, but obedience to His word is more important than sacrifice.
- Gifts will be destroyed, but fruits will never!
- Each of your longing has to be, "Let me be like Jesus!"
- Never seek for gifts, but to bear fruits. Ministry grows not by gifts, but by your life.
- Jesus sought for fruits, not gifts. Gift of discerning spirits is the one you can ask God for!
- Gifts will be manifested as and when needed, but crave to lead a holy life bearing fruits.
