- The Demand for Excellence
Have you ever been to a church that lacked wisdom, structure, and order? Take a look at how the church is portrayed in the media today. You see… disorderly, ill-informed, and poverty stricken people with no real answer for the needs of society. It seems the church has become irrelevant. This was the problem that Apostle Matthew Stevenson addressed this week. He encouraged our house to display depth in the word of God, excellence, and wisdom in every area of our lives so that we can address the problems and needs in society.
This mandate pushed our house into an urgent desire of preparation to handle the responsibility of leading larger people groups, but in order to do so, we understand that we must become leaders with our lives built on quality. The world today needs well equipped leaders with a heart penetrating understanding of the word of God that exhibit integrity and character. We are preparing our house for influence and reformation over the city of Chicago and beyond and the QUALITY of our lives will be HOW we will get THERE!
This message really challenged heart to gain more knowledge in the scriptures. I felt like need to prepare for THIS! It help me understand that the more sharper I am in the word of God; the more effective my witness is to the lost. The lost needs the gospel of Jesus Christ and it is the only raw source with the ability to transform the heart. Solomon had wisdom the excelled beyond any character in the bible. He was brought many hard problems or questions to solve. Hard problems are very prevalent in our society today.
We will not be content until the wisdom of Solomon manifests heavily in All Nations Worship Assembly (ANWA), because ONLY by it we can answer the hard problems and questions. We understand that Solomon’s ability to steward with excellence and wisdom reflects God’s kingdom. We want to represent well and break the negative stigmas off the church.
WE ARE WELL ABLE!!

Apostle preached at my church last night. Life Church in Roscoe, IL. At our “Holy Spirit Conference” His message was very powerful and based on Matt. 28:18 “Jesus approached and breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” He stirred the Holy spirit to manifest with such power and revalation. He and his team then prophesied to over 300 hungry Christians. It was the most totally awesome experience!!!!!!!!!!! May God Bless Him and his Ministry!!!!!!!!!!
