Awaken Christ in you: 12 seconds breakthrough that made us fly

By Pastor Chris Ofili

Long before Wilbur and Orville Wright began their pursuit of flying, everyday people could only travel by foot, horse and buggy, train or ship, and very few with the automobile.

On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made four brief flights at Kitty Hawk with their first powered aircraft. The Wright brothers had invented the first successful airplane. The Wrights used a stopwatch to time the Kitty Hawk flights.

It could only fly for just 12 seconds!

Building and improving on the blueprint of those precious 12 seconds opened up possibilities for all mankind, connecting Nations and opening up isolated economies. In just a few hours, one could have breakfast in Abuja and late lunch in London. By building on the victory of that 12 seconds even space travel, is now possible.

The Key to great success lies in improving your previous success. That is building on previous victories.

In draught, Prophet Elijah engaged in prayer asking for rain, after a while in prayer they saw just a little finger-like sign in the sky signifying that it’s about to rain. By that little sign, Elijah confirmed that his prayer was working, and because of the result, he sought he prayed fervently and a torrential downpour broke out.

For us in Sion, by the mandate to Spread the Kingdom by Awakening Christ in men. We have confirmed that God lives in us by the Spirit of Christ, not only from the veracity of God’s word but also from diverse personal encounters with the power within, and charity which now erupts from us to the next man.

We are grateful to God for proving the power of His presence in our lives with a wide variety of testimonies, to the extent that we are no longer confused about where God lives. We can now pinpoint our bodies and say with all certitude that our BODY IS GOD’S house and GOD’S SPIRIT LIVES IN us 1Cor. 3:16 (see our testimony book: The Evidence & He lives in you)

I admonish you, therefore, avoid complacency. Yes, it’s now common to see people amongst us enjoying God on their own, wherever they are and whenever the need arises you hear a prayer like ” I carry God, stomach pain cease and healing occurs, instantly” and they return with the testimonies. I am glad, I wasn’t there, and miracles are taking place, It’s clear sign that you are not alone. We have indeed seen headaches, backache disappear by the reason of His presence in us but the truth remains Christ in us can do more than that. We have seen favor here and there. Again, Christ in us can do far more than all that. Things are happening. Let’s build on these victories.

Like the Wright brothers improved on their 12 seconds success, let’s do more to Awaken Christ in us, for in Him all things consist. Elijah after the finger-like sign prayed fervently, till a torrential downpour. We are empowered for exceptional life by His presence. Let’s build on the victory.

Christ in us can do more. We saw that clearly in John 11. Up until John11, all that people thought Jesus could do in terms of dealing with sick people was just healing. They didn’t know that Jesus could also raise the dead. So when He appeared at the grave of Lazarus, they kept saying” if you had been here our brother would not have died…” But some people there on seeing Jesus reasoned in their minds “could not this man who healed blind eyes, deaf ears could have also stopped this man from dying?” And Christ proved that He can do more than healing. He raised Lazarus from the dead! That same power in you that healed headache, can handle any challenge.

That Christ the all-sufficient One lives in us is no small thing at all. The marvel and the exciting thing about the workings of His presence in us is that it is designed for our renewal, from humanity to divinity, that in turn renews the earth, let’s not settle for less. The miraculous activities of His presence where we now enjoy God on our own that is currently taking place in our congregation have also become the experience of some others outside our church. Hope guides me to say it will soon become a worldwide phenomenon. Our Master intends it so. (John14:20) In this season of celebration of our 14th year anniversary in church based ministry, I charge you to Brace up and stir Up!

Don’t forget that failure stems from not doing what you are supposed to do or not doing it enough.

So remember as you build up, always study God’s word enough, praying enough, mostly in Spirit, with faith TURNED to Christ in you all things are possible to you!

Look at it:

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
…Now unto him, that can do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Ephesians 3:17&20

Let me sum up with this testimony, a few weeks ago after our Immanuel CAMPAIGN meeting, while exchanging pleasantries. One of our sisters told me that sickness dared her last week. I said: I was not aware, I would have called, she said: there was no need, You already taught us what to do. This means that she handled the sickness herself! This fueled my joy and hope that:

In no distant time from now, wherever those who will heed to this call, will appear. People will say, the gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. For in them, God will be encountered.

It has started.

Awaken Christ in you!
