Hurray!!! IPPC Is Finally Here!

The Believers’ LoveWorld Incorporated International Pastors’ and Partners’ Conference 2011 (IPPC) kicked off on Monday on a very high note with delegates from more countries than that of last year which shows that the Ministry is spreading geographically. IPPC is not only a time of great spiritual refreshment it is also the most important, event in the Ministry’s calendar year. For many it is a time to drink from the cup of wisdom of our man of God Pastor Chris, it is also a time for critical appraisal, to be encouraged by those who have overcome different challenges in their ministries, and to be spiritually re-energised to receive greater wisdom from God. As the Bible states in Ecclesiastes 10:10 – “If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct”.

No matter how good a knife or cutlass maybe, it gradually becomes blunt over time, after much use. The consequence of this is that much energy will therefore be required in getting the result that hitherto would have been effortless. The only means of increasing the productiveness of such a knife or cutlass is taking time to sharpen it.

This analogy perfectly explains why Pastors and Partners of Christ Embassy (aka BLW Inc.) from all over the world gather in Lagos, Nigeria for one week to be sharpened by Pastor Chris and other seasoned members of the Central Executive Council (CEC) in order to increase their productiveness and effectiveness.

Mark 1:19 – “And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.”

No matter how good a net maybe, after much use, and over time, it will require mending to ensure that harvests do not escape inadvertently. Jesus Christ commissioned us to be fishers of men (Matthew 4:19; Mark 1:17) and as such, IPPC affords us great opportunity of fortifying our evangelical and pastoral calling through an uninterrupted and intensive tutelage by our Man of God, Pastor Chris.

No matter how good a car maybe, without consistent servicing, its productivity will surely drop over time. Every new technology nowadays requires regular upgrading to remain relevant. In the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, “And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles” (Mark 2:22).

At the International Pastors’ and Partners’ Conference, attendees are ministered to (serviced) for better performance and upgraded with latest revelation knowledge from God’s throne room of grace. Because it is a gathering of believers who are hungry and thirsty for God’s best, they encourage and inspire each other like the Bible says – “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend” (Proverbs 27:17).

IPPC 2011 promises to be the best gathering of God’s people in recent history. Are you ready?
