By Pastor Chidi Onyesonwu
In the beginning, the bible tells us that God created the heavens and the earth.In furtherance, we learned how God created man.
We discovered that the purpose of God creating man is to be fruitful, multiply and also replenish the earth .'and God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth' {Genesis 1v28}.
When God destroyed the earth with water in which He saved only Noah and his household. He also said to Noah, 'be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth (Genesis 9v1).
Thirdly, the same God appeared as a Son, He preached His Kingdom and its glory with signs and wonders following, and we all believe Him. His greatest commission was also.. to be fruitful and to replenish...Having opened our eyes and mind of understanding, that we are strangers here on earth; we have a place called' permanent home'. All believers would be there by His grace. There is great need for us to be fruitful to that great kingdom. If we could be fruitful here on our temporary home, how much more to our permanent home, heaven?
'Go ye into the world and preach the gospel of grace and salvation through Jesus Christ, to every creature. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved {Mark 16v15-16}. A good question one would ask himself is how many children{souls} do I have for the kingdom of God?

THE URGENCY OF THE HOUR
By Pastor Chidi Onyesonwu
God has been telling me in shocking ways that we are truly in the closing moments of this generation. What we do for Him during these remaining hours will determine where millions, perhaps billions, of souls spend all eternity. Now, more than ever, we know that judgment is coming. Terrorism, ritual killings, unlike anything we have ever experienced before, is already unfolding. And during this time, God is giving us a window of opportunity unlike anything we have ever dared to imagine! What will we do with this historic opportunity? A Shaking is Taking Place
During this season, we also know that God has never promised a life of ease and no loss, but we can be certain that as the time draws closer for the end of this era, those who serve the Lord will have a supernatural favor and outpouring. While the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy, our precious Lord Jesus brings restoration and abundant life (John 10:10). In what appears to be the worst of times, Jesus Christ protects and restores (Joel 2). There is a shaking taking place! There is a purification moving over our globe. God is causing massive changes. There is a shift going on in governments all around the world. A transformation is happening even among people who have never thought they needed God before, and they are beginning to search diligently for Him. Unshakable Faith in the Message of the Cross;People of all cultures, races, and economic levels are looking for someone with unshakable faith who will present the truth of the ages to them. As God's sovereign timing moves forward, He wants to work mightily in you.Already, I have seen Him moving certain men and women into a greater dimension of power and purpose than ever before, and He wants to do this with you.
During this time, we must shift back to the message of the cross. The Bible makes this very clear: "But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world" (Galatians 6:14). We must go forward, preaching salvation to those who don't yet know this life-giving truth: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
We must declare, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him" (Romans 5:8-9). Winning the Lost…Now! Out of the coming major events unfolding in the news every day, God is breaking forth His glory. The Spirit of God is ready to invade city after city, region after region, nation after nation, but time is short! We must work now, as John 9:4 declares, "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." That is why the life-changing, miracle-filled Gospel of the blood of Jesus Christ must be preached now! Now! NOW!
God will hold us responsible in heaven for what we do with the historic opportunity He has given to you and me right now! Remember, as it was in the time of Noah, so shall it be when the Son of man shall come....Mathew 24 verse 37.More message are found here,www.savingark.org.All round the World,people are giving testimonies of what God is Doing through this.You are next in line in Jesus Name.Amen.

What is Rapture?
By Chidi Onyesonwu
The Second Coming of Christ will occur in stages. First, He will remove all Christians from the Earth, to protect them. This is called "The Rapture." The term comes from the Latin verb raptare, and the Greek word harpizo, both meaning "to be caught up" or "to be Snapped." Jesus will "snatch us" out of harm's way.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 [15] According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. [16] For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. [17] After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
1 Corinthians 15:51-55 [51] Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed [52] in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. [53] For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. [54] When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." [55] "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"
Job 19:26-27 [26] And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; [27] I myself will see him with my own eyes -- I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!
In the Rapture, believers meet the Lord in the air. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 }"What takes place after the Rapture?"
After The Rapture, God will begin executing judgments against unbelievers, during a period called the Tribulation. At the end of the Tribulation all nations will attack Israel, and Jesus Christ will physically return, leading the armies of heaven. At the Battle of Armeggedon they will destroy everyone who is not a believer. Then Satan will be bound, and Jesus will set up the Millennial Kingdom, headquartered in Jerusalem. Jesus and the saints will rule over the nations of the Earth for a thousand years. During this period there will be people born who are not loyal to Christ. However, it usually will not be obvious. Therefore, at the end of the thousand-year period, God will release Satan and let him tempt those who inhabit the Earth. A large group will take up arms against the Lord and be defeated. Then, Christ will judge all who have ever lived, giving rewards to some and punishment to others. Those who were "destroyed" will be cast into the Lake of Fire, i.e., Hell. After that, God will destroy heaven and Earth because they have been polluted by sin. He will create a new heaven and a new Earth, put those who were saved on the new Earth, and rule it forever.
