Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

Somewhere I remember reading a prayer of Mother Theresa “Enlarge my heart O Lord, so that I can love the whole humanity as You love them”

If one’s heart is small, he/she will stick to one or two commands of the Lord from the Bible and their whole life will be centred around the one and the same command.

As one’s heart grows bigger and bigger the circle of one’s acquaintances expand, the boundaries of caste, religion, clan, nationality, colour, race are broken. That is why king David prayed a prayer as this.

I will run the course of Your commandments,

For You shall enlarge my heart. Ps 119:32

As the Lord enlarges one’s heart, two things happen.

  1. One starts running – not walking in slow motion
  2. In the course of all the commandments – not one or a few of them.

Somebody asked me “Is it wrong to attend night clubs or parties where you share your love with others”? A good question. It is a command in the Bible to love your neighbor.

But there is another command,        

 “You have heard that it was said to those of old,* ‘You shall not commit adultery.’*  But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.  Matt 5:27-29

Bind the spirit for this week

Pro  11:18  The spirit which makes one do deceptive work

Binding prayer e.g.. In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind and destroy the works of the spirit which makes one do deceptive work. (Pro  11:18 )

BFF Batch 24 – Testimonies

Magdalene Fernandes

When we were worshiping the Lord. I saw a Vision .So many colored pearls pink, green, golden, etc. were spreading all around. A fresh green tree was there clouds hiding the top of tree and a bright light came from above . The next day during the anointing preparation I was crying . A soft hand touched my cheek. First I didn’t know what it was but the second time I opened my eyes and saw a big white hand coming from heaven and touching my cheek. I am very happy and feeling blessed. Thank you Lord!

Gerard J . Fernandes

Though I am a Roman catholic , the vision God gave me is that the troop church is a the way of God for a model church tending towards “ one shepherd and one flock “ this flock is to empty out the churches which are not true churches and do not fit in to God’s plan.

Maria Luiza vaz Fernandes

My vision is that our lord spoke to sr. Angelic and that vision will be fulfilled and India will in 2020 enjoy the reign of Jesus. Many troop church will be formed all through India and many other countries will say that India belong to Jesus . Thank   you lord !.

Covenant Women Meet (CWM)

                       A wonderful opportunity for ladies who want to serve the Lord

Covenant Women Meet (CWM)

A movement to raise the status of Women in India

“Now gather yourself in Troops, O daughter of troops, he had laid siege against us. “ Mica: 5:1

Both in history and in the Bible Women’s role is very important.

During the crucial period of our Lord’s visitation to India (2007 – 2014), He wants our fair sex mass play a vital role in the transformation of our nation. In order to train them up, a 12 hour training Programme is given by the Lord. KHRDC started implementing it.

This training session covers the following subjects,

  • Fallen nature of women and restoration by Jesus Christ
  • Building relationship
  • Finance Management
  • House Maintenance
  • Exercising the authority of parents
  • Behavioral patterns
  • Common sicknesses of women and Medical checkup.
  • Civic Sense

According to God’s plan this has to reach all across India in order to lift up the women.

KHRDC offers a wonderful opportunity to ladies.

What is Troop Church ?

There is an earnest search among the believers across the world for a real Church where a person can commune with God and relate to his fellow brethren. After trials and experiments the Indian Church is forming “Troop Church”.

The Army of Jesus was experimenting with the “Troop Church” for the past 17 years. Started in the year 1998, it has so far registered 19,676 troops . The experiment with Troop Church has been successful.

  1. It has 19,676 independent first line Troop Churches. Second , third line numbers of Troop Churches are not known.
  2. It has raised many leaders, pastors, prophets, counselors and other ministers and gospel workers.
  3. It has no visible leader or hierarchical structure
  4. It has no office, no full timer, no paid worker etc.
  5. No organizational (hierarchical) set up.
  6. No money collection or transaction.
  7. No election, board, Committee etc.
  8. Every Troop Church trains up believers in their gifts like worshipping, preaching, prophecy etc.
  9. Since the mother troop disperses and starts new troops after 2 months, there is no stagnancy.
  10. No pollution or corruption with money or power. 
  11. 11.The two wings of Troop Church are Decentralisation and Multiplication .

Troop Churches ( House Churches ) in early days – Bro.Frankton

1…As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

Acts:8:3

 The above verse brings us a very clear message that there was fellowship in the houses…. Saul ( Later Paul ) persecuted the early age churches that is troop churches gathered  in houses 

2….The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

1 Corinthians:16:19

Paul Wishes  troop Churches in Corinth

3…..Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

Romans:16:5

Paul Wishes the Troop churches in Rome 

3….And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: Philemon:1:2

Above verse says that Paul wishes troops gathered in Apphia & Archippus houses

4……Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.

Colossians:4:15

Paul Wishes the Troop churches in Colocians 

Above verses clarify us that there was only troop churches were exist in early apostle days which was formed by 100% leading of the Holy Spirit….how does these house church culture faded…….there was no other denominations mentioned in the Bible 

It is self explanatory…. how these Pagan churches got into the system of Christianity 

One final word to hit the nail straight 

Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 

Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?

Acts 7:47 & 48

Troop Churches ( House Churches ) has history of more than 2000 yrs than any other man made denomination pagan churches

Work of Nicolaitans (Contd)

Lessons from the book of Numbers 11 : 16 – 17

Some churches use Numbers 11:16-17 to ordain 70 elders/ministers as part of their ministry, as they say this is how God wants his ministry to run.

So YHWH said to Moses: “Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you.  Then I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit that is upon you and will put the same upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone” (Numbers 11:16-17).

Most churches would go this way about Numbers 11:16-17. We need to choose 70 men (people in our ministry who do what we say) and appoint them as elders so that they can also do our ministry work. When we read Numbers 11:16-17, we see God first talking to Moses and telling him to gather 70 elders of Israel. The first thing we need to ask is, what is the meaning of the word “elder”? The word “elder” comes from the Hebrew word “zaqen” (pronounced as “zaw-kane”) concordance number 2204 and 2205. This means a person who is recognized by the people for his gifts of leadership, wisdom (in righteous living based on the Torah) and justice. Then we see Moses choosing, based on what God told him, 70 men and bringing them to the tabernacle so that the spirit of YHWH could be upon them. So the flowchart of events over here is:

God talking to Moses with an instruction >> 70 Elders chosen >> Spirit of YHWH rests on them.

In modern-day churches, we don’t see God talking to the elder of the church or God sanctifying these elders. We see men appointing men based on an event that happened during the time of Moses. Moreover, we need to understand why God chose 70 elders to help Moses. In the previous verses of Numbers 11:10-15, we read Moses is pleading to God to kill him because the people were weeping before Moses. Moses was unable to bear the grief of weeping, as the burden was too heavy for him. God then, in His great mercy, told Moses, “I will sanctify elders to help you so that you don’t have to bear all of these burdens yourself”. So we see that the elders and the duty of Moses were to serve the people, and not serve themselves.
