The example was followed by many people throughout the state of Pernambuco: “God will hear the prayer of the church and deliver Brazil from this evil,” said Pastor Roberto José dos Santos, president of the Assembly of God of the Evangelical Church in Abreu e Lima, who led the charge. “Let us bend our knees and pray for the peace of our Brazil and the health of our nation. We are all together in this war, which will be won through the prayer of the Church of the Lord. We are here to cry out to the God of heaven, and God will give the victory to His people,” explained Roberto José. “Cheer up, raise your head.

Dr. Cerullo, affectionately known as “Papa” to millions across the globe who were touched by his decades of personal ministry, is known for his outreaches to people in more than 400 cities, 150 na- tions and on 6 continents, in over 72 years of ministry. DR. CERULLO’S MANDATE FROM THE LORD—BUILD ME AN ARMY ...And you know with all this going on in my spirit on that floor I cried out to God. I said, ‘God you want to know what I want?’ I said, ‘I want You to give me one thing. You gave to me the anointing Give me the ability to take what You have given to me and give to somebody else.’ There my life was changed, I heard God’s voice just like you hear my voice. I heard Him like the clap of thunder, He said to me, ‘Son, build Me an army!’ A NEVER ENDING IMPACT Dr. Cerullo tells of another encounter. Read the full charge later. He said, ‘Son, I don’t want this ministry that I have given to you, that has raised up so many men and women of God, I don’t want it to ever die.’ This charge to Dr. Cerullo is nothing new. It is a charge to every min- ister and ministry. God is interested in your success but equally inter- ested in your succession. He wants your fruits to remain. IN JOHN 15:16. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Fa- ther in My name He may give you. Except a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies it abides alone. In John 12:24 Jesus said, speaking about Himself: Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. THE FOCUS OF EVERY MINISTRY IN THESE END-TIMES IS TO DEVELOP, DEPLOY AND DIE SO YOUR MINISTRY FROM GOD CAN REPRODUCE AND PERPETUATE. 3 www.globalkgnmagazine.com /subscribe TESTIMONY OF DR. MORRIS CERULLO In 1962 I was in my first crusade in the nation of Brazil, I was scarcely thirty years of age and I’d already been around the world many times. I was conducting a cru- sade in the exposition grounds. We were having about 50,000 people a night and that’s way back then in 1962. I came to the platform and I began to minister and all of a sudden my chest collapsed, pains hit me like sharp knives and I fell over on the little wooden platform that we built and I grabbed ahold of the little wooden pulpit… it’s not a pulpit, just a piece of wood that we nailed down. And I took my associate evange- list, at that time his name was Claire Hutchins, and I took Claire and I brought him to the front and I said, ‘Claire, finish the service, finish preaching.’ I said, ‘I’m going to leave the meeting.’ He looked at me very surprised because he’d been with me for ten years and he never saw anything like that happen. I got into my car on the back side of the platform and they drove me to my hotel. I fell in the back side of the car soaking, slopping wet. I got up to my room and couldn’t even take the clothes off of my body. I fell on the floor as one dead and I said to God, ‘God, am I going to die? Is this Your time to take me home?’ I was scarcely thirty years old. God said to me, ‘No son, I’ve allowed this to happen to you for a reason, for a purpose. I want to stop you at this point in your ministry and I want to ask you a question. What do you want out of this life?’ Boy, I tell you I think I could’ve asked God for anything, I know He would have given it to me. But God was after something very deep and I thought as I laid on that floor in my pool of sweat, I thought, ‘Why is God asking me this?’ And I asked Him, I said, ‘You know everything, You know me. Why are You asking me what I want out of this life? Haven’t You seen ever since I was fifteen years of age, when You brought me out of the Jewish Orthodox orphanage, that I have given You my life?’ See I was taken into heaven when I was fifteen years of age. I saw with my eyes the visi- ble manifestation of the glory of God. When God took me into heaven He showed me the world. I saw it with my eyes. He showed me a vision of hell, I saw it with my eyes. I heard His voice, I saw His glory. He asked me for my life. I gave it to Him. Fifteen years of age standing alongside the presence of God I gave Him my life. I have never taken it back. There on that floor I experienced the greatest revolution that ever took place in my life second to when I stood before the presence of God. I saw that if we are going to reach this world, fulfil God’s commission, there’s only one way that we’re going to do that. We are going to have to raise up the African to reach Africa, the Indian to reach India, the Asian to reach Asia. And you know with all this going on in my spirit on that floor I cried out to God. I said, ‘God you want to know what I want?’ I said, ‘I want You to give me one thing. You gave to me the anointing. Give me the ability to take what You have given to me and to give to somebody else.’ There my life was changed, I heard God’s voice just like you hear my voice. I heard Him like the clap of thunder, He said to me, ‘Son, build Me an army!’ On another occasion I heard a voice. I tell you exactly it startled me and this is what I heard as I walked out, stood on the platform. There were three hundred partners there cheering, thanking God that we were together. I heard this voice, I turned around. I looked… where is this voice coming from? And here’s what the voice said, ‘Son, did you know that prophets never retire?’ Now what in the world is this all about? Prophe- cy. Now I heard it audibly, not in my spirit. I couldn’t wait to get up to my room after the meeting was over. I fell on my face in front of my bed and I said, ‘God was that You? What were You trying to tell me?’ The Father spoke to me, He said, ‘Son, I don’t want this ministry that I have given to you, that has raised up so many men and women of God, I don’t want it to ever die.’ 4 www.globalkgnmagazine.com /subscribe BUILDING A LEGACY Dr.Cerullo ministered face to face to more people around the world than perhaps any other person or evangelist in history.

The methodology adopted is historical approach. The history of church growth and development in Nigeria is divided into five periods namely: the period of introducing Latin Christianity in the 15th and 16th Centuries; the period of Denominationalism and missionary activities in the 19th Century from 1842 onward; the period of evolution of independent Churches; the period of indigenous African Churches; and the period of the birth of Charismatic and Pentecostal Churches.

It is observed that the dramatic rise of charismatic and Pentecostal movement led to the emergence of new churches and evangelical groups. The work suggested the establishment of more churches and the practice of ethical and moral teachings of the Bible.

    Christian Crusades in Nairobi: An Analysis of Socio-Religious Factors Underlying Their Upsurge Table of Contents -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION 2. LITERATURE REVIEW 3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 4. RESEARCH FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS 5. SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS References Appendices 1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background to the Problem From the time of its inception in Kenya, Christianity has taken various forms. Initially, there were efforts by pioneering missionaries to establish the Christian faith among different African Communities in Kenya. These efforts were characterised most by Western Christian missions. Efforts of this kind saw the gradual evolvement of such missions into churches within this country (Nthamburi 1991, 1995). The planting of missionary oriented churches was generally followed by another phase. This was the phenomenon of the proliferation of African initiated churches. These African instituted churches remain to date an elaborate illustration of the diverse and at the same time, profound response of Africans to Christianity. The closing years of the Twentieth Century can be said to be experiencing an upsurge of, what within Christian circles, are commonly known as crusades. Evangelistic or proselystic in emphasis, these crusades are an important development in the history of the Church in Kenya. They have become a major expression of Christian activity, demonstrating its vitality. Evidently, the phenomenon of crusades is suffusing many urban areas, with considerably high frequency in some places. In Nairobi, for instance, Uhuru Park, Kamukunji grounds as well as residential estates such as Dandora, Githurai, Huruma, Kibera and Umoja are among the most frequent venues of crusaders. Almost daily, a crusade is taking place somewhere in Nairobi.

THE NATURE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF PROPHECY IN PENTECOSTAL- CHARISMATIC EXPERIENCE: AN EMPIRICAL-BIBLICAL STUDY by Samuel W. Muindi ABSTRACT The notion of prophecy is a Leitmotiv, both in Scripture and in the Church. However, the most common form of prophecy that is witnessed in the Church today is the charismatic prophecy manifestations in the Pentecostal-charismatic movement. Although the latter is now billed as the fastest growing Christian movement in church history, and has brought to the fore the biblical notion of the charisms of the Holy Spirit, the subject of charismatic prophecy has received limited attention in Pentecostal studies. There is therefore a gap in knowledge. The present study is an attempt to address the lacuna from an empirical-biblical perspective.

  • Miracles in Medicine1
    S&CB (2017), 29, 121-134 0954-4194 PE TE R M AY Miracles in Medicine1 This is a sensitive subject. We live in a culture where feelings and facts become deeply interwoven. Relative truth, post-truth, truthiness and al­ ternative facts have become emblems of our day and generation. People can get very upset and discouraged when their personally held convictions come under critical scrutiny. This is particularly so if they have based their faith on a healing ‘miracle’ in their family, which has become for them the persuasive argument that led them to Christ. So I want at the outset to say that Christians have a particular calling to separate feelings from facts and that this has been for me a personal - and necessary - journey. When I was fifteen, I found myself waking each morning with worsen­ ing headaches. When vomiting and double vision set in, I was admitted to Guy’s Hospital, where in 1961 (the dates are quite important in ‘miracle’ stories as diagnostic technologies are constantly improving), they did an air encephalogram which showed a space-occupying lesion, consistent with a brain tumour. My father broke the news to me. He said it was either benign or malignant, and if the latter, the outlook was very poor. You can imagine the impact this had on me, on my family and on all our friends. On the day of the operation, my father, who was not a churchgoer, found a church in central London near his office and went in to pray. It was an overcast day and the church was empty, dark and silent.

  • Book Reviews
    Book Reviews WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BELL? Job Bluu:hud EYangelic:U Prea Darlington 1993 336pp. No price ISBN 0 88234 303 8 Interest in the subject of hell has revived among evangelical Christians in recent years, and not before time. It is a subject nobody likes to talk about. and most of us wish would go away. But evil, and the punishment it deserves, are realities which we camtot afford to ignore, however unpleasant they may be. In this new and extremely comprehensive book, the experienced evangelist. Jolm Blanchard. reminds us of just how important-and how unpleasant-it is. The style of the book is popular, and there are many illustrations from everyday life. At times it is hard to know whether the author is writing for Christians or for seekers, though undoubtedly most of his readers will be believers who want to find out more about an area of Scripture with which they are not familiar enough. Certainly, there is a great deal of excellent material here for the preacher, and if the author is correct in his assessment that few clergy possess anything on the subject of hell, then here is a book which can be recommended. For in spite of the popular style, this book is a serious, and at times deep, study of the Bible's teaching. Mr Blanchard shows, beyond the shadow of doubt. that hell is a major theme of Jesus' preaching, which cannot be ignored in any true pre­ sentation of the Gospel. The holiness of God and the seriousness of sin are things which retain an awesome power to challenge men and women to tum to Christ.

  • Drag Queens and Farting Preachers: American Televangelism, Participatory Media, and Unfaithful Fandoms
    Drag Queens and Farting Preachers: American Televangelism, Participatory Media, and Unfaithful Fandoms by Denis J. Bekkering A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 © Denis J. Bekkering 2015 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Studies of religion and fandom have generally considered sincere devotion a fundamental point of contact between the two cultural phenomena, an assumption not reflected in fan studies proper. This dissertation aims to expand the scope of research on religion and fandom by offering cultural histories of “unfaithful” fan followings of three controversial American televangelists – Robert Tilton, Tammy Faye Bakker/Messner, and Jim Bakker – dating from the 1980s to 2012, and consisting of individuals amused by, rather than religiously affiliated with, their chosen television preachers. It is argued that through their ironic, parodic, and satirical play with celebrity preachers widely believed to be religious fakes, these unfaithful fans have engaged in religious work related to personal and public negotiations of authentic Christianity. Additionally, it is demonstrated that through their activities, and in particular through their media practices, these fans have impacted the brands and mainstream representations of certain televangelists, and have provoked ministry responses including dismissal, accommodation, and counteraction. iii Acknowledgements Family comes first. My wife Erica is the main reason that this project has been completed.
