Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an ofering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness (1 Chronicles 16:29)..
A
lifestyle of gratitude activates the blessings and graces of God in your life. So, as the year draws to a fruitful .end, it’s important that we take some time to thank God for His awesome blessings in our lives. If you look into your life and the receding year in retrospect, you’d ind that the Lord has been so gracious and kind; His love, mercy and grace have seen us through a very remarkable year. Make every day a special day of rejoicing and express gratitude to the Lord for His blessings throughout the year. In celebrating all that He’s done for you, there’re four important things to do in your gratitude and appreciation. First is your prayer of thanksgiving. Pray a prayer of thanksgiving from your heart to the Lord, appreciating Him for a most successful year. As you pray, express yourself in thanksgiving; let it low freely from your heart. When you pray in thanksgiving, what follows is the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. Secondly, worship and praise Him freely and ecstatically from your spirit. Ofer the Lord the worship and praise of thanksgiving, where you’re full, exuberant and overjoyed with praise from your spirit. When you praise the Lord from your heart in the beauty of holiness, His glory will be manifested in your behalf. Thirdly, celebrate Him with your testimony of thanksgiving. Testify of what He’s done in your life; eulogize Him for the joy of the Spirit that’s in your heart. Count your blessings and testify of His goodness in your personal life. Be conscious of, and thankful for, all He’s done for you, in you, and with you, daily airming that they happened by His grace, mercy, faithfulness, and love that endure forever. Thank Him for the foundation of your spirit; the foundation of faith that He gave you. Celebrate the hope, and other blessings in your spirit. 02 | The Healing School Magazine
Lastly, celebrate Him with an ofering. This is the part that many are yet to understand: the power of the ofering. We worship God with our oferings because He’s God. Your ofering to God is a testimony of your faith in Him. When you give God your ofering, it’s not a collection; it’s a hallowed oblation with which you testify that He’s God in your life. With your ofering, you’re testifying and giving glory to Him. Give the Lord a special thanksgiving ofering, and project yourself into the greater future He’s planned for you. Apart from your ofering being a celebration of the prosperity of God in your life, it’s also your airmation or testimony of His greatness, and your recognition of His power and sovereignty. The patriarchs – Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, and Solomon – all gave oferings upon the altar in worship to God. For example, Solomon ofered a thousand burnt oferings where God would have accepted much less (1 Kings 3:4), but it relected His recognition and testimony of the greatness of God. Choose certain times or hours throughout this month to have celebration sessions, alone or with your family. Make it an entire season of celebration because you’re grateful for all that Christ is to you; you acknowledge and appreciate His grace at work in you. Don’t spend time thinking about some unattained goals or ‘disappointments’ you may have experienced in the year. Rather, celebrate Jesus, trusting that He’s already perfected all that concerns you. Rejoice! Shout and dance. Glorify the Name of Jesus. Celebrate His life that’s in you. Celebrate His Word that’s working mightily in you. Celebrate the prosperity, health, peace, joy, victories and life of glory that God has given you. Hallelujah!
If you want to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, then say this prayer, believing with all your heart: “O Lord God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God. I believe that God raised Him from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from today. By faith, I receive remission of sins for my soul. Right now, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I receive eternal life into my spirit. I am born again!” If you’ve just said that prayer, please send an email to feedback@enterthehealingschool.org. God bless you.

T
he second healing service of the 2019 Summer Session with Pastor Chris in Canada was an extraordinary day for the miraculous. Eager and enthusiastic, many from all around the world gathered for a time of superlative expressions of the supernatural as they awaited the power of God, that one touch and one word that would bring forth healing. Also present at the service were partners and ministers of the Gospel who came to witness the ministry of the Spirit through the man of God, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. A perfect culmination to a most glorious session, the service commenced with fervent prayers, worship, and thanksgiving to the Almighty God for wondrous miracles and His demonstrations of love. With voices lifted high, all expressed their deep appreciation to the Lord for His goodness and endless wonders. It was a most auspicious healing service, with one inspiring moment after another. Attendees had the inimitable opportunity to hear amazing testimonies from some who were healed at previous sessions of the Healing School. These were testimonies of faith and triumph over dire conditions and circumstances. Life was bleak for Pheon Andrews after she developed a leg ulcer, which led to several restrictions as she could barely walk. Pheon came to the Healing School with faith in her heart for a miracle, and her divine encounter transformed her situation, and indeed her life, most remarkably. Now free of pain, Pheon testiied that her life is back to normal and every day is full of bliss, to the glory of God. With many more of such astonishing testimonies, the expectations of those waiting in line for a miracle heightened. They were conident that God would surely turn their trials into testimonies. The long-awaited moment inally came when the man of God, Pastor Chris, entered the auditorium. Clothed in the Spirit, the man of God ministered to the sick, commanding inirmities to leave the bodies of those they had alicted. 04 | The Healing School Magazine
There was much elation as diverse miracles began to happen all over the place. The lame walked, blind eyes opened, deaf ears were unstopped, and all manner of sicknesses and diseases came to nothing. All rejoiced and praised the Lord in reverence and wonder of His mighty power demonstrated in those who had just been healed. For so many people, this day would always be signiicant; this was the day their dire circumstances, hopeless situations and hardships ceased to exist. 46-year-old Anita Jefrey sufered eye problems, hypertension and hypothyroidism. Coupled with frequent demonic attacks, these conditions left her the worse for wear physically and mentally. Searching for freedom, she made her way to the Healing School, where she found the solution to her dilemma when the man of God ministered to her. Diabetes mellitus, thyroid problems, high blood pressure and several other ailments plagued Donald Benjamin for over 7 years. Despite medications and treatments, the conditions persisted, causing Donald great pain and sorrow. Help came with news about the Healing School. When Pastor Chris laid hands on him, Donald received his healing and started to do all the things he couldn’t do before. For 18 years, Felicia Oiboh’s life was one long struggle, as she tried her best to cope with arthritis, asthma, sciatica,
hypertension and eye problems. Daily experiences of pain and discomfort marred her quality of life. Hoping for a change, she attended the Healing School for that one word from God that would change her life forever. Felicia is completely healed and is free of pain and inirmity. Glory to God! After the ministrations, Pastor Chris specially acknowledged visiting ministers and appreciated the partners of the Healing School for their commitment to transforming lives all over the world. It was with great joy and conviction that many came forward to proclaim the Lordship of Jesus in their lives when the man of God made an altar call. Pastor Chris blessed everyone present with increased grace and renewed strength, and all marveled as this tremendous season of healing wonders came to a close amidst singing and dancing.

I
have been a minister of the Gospel for many years, but when I met the man of God, Pastor Chris, I was promoted to another level in my walk with God. It all started when, on the Internet, I saw some video clips of Pastor Chris ministering to the sick at the Healing School. It was all very inspiring, so when my wife and I got an invitation to visit the Healing School, I was very excited. Despite having seen the miracles on video before, I was still shocked when I saw so many miracles happening live. It wasn’t just one or two miracles, there were lots of miracles happening at the same it. It was a blessing to watch Pastor Chris as God used him to heal people and get them up out of their wheelchairs. It was an experience that I will always cherish. Through Pastor Chris’ teaching, the Word that I received was so deep. The man of God taught us about Christ in us and the importance of fellowship with the Holy Spirit – not just for ministry, but for our personal lives as well. He told us about his personal walk with the Lord and how his faith has grown. During this encounter, I saw and understood that Pastor Chris doesn’t just teach the Word of God, he lives it. This was important for me because I wanted to serve God better and be more efective in my ministry. Then at the end of the meeting, Pastor Chris greeted me and prophesied to me. Communicating the words of the Spirit, Pastor Chris said, “The reality and manifestations of God’s love and grace in your life will be more evident than ever before. The grace has increased in you. Even the power of your communication, the power of your ministry has been increased by the Lord.”

When I received this prophecy of more grace, I became humbler, and I was grateful that the Lord had chosen me for a greater level of impact. As we planned to return to Hungary, I knew that I had become more efective, and that I was going to do more than ever before. I knew that Hungary would never be the same again. My time at the Healing School yielded a new revelation for me, and I began to function with the anointing for healing at a higher level. From that irst visit, we have seen the Lord do mighty miracles and healings in our midst. During the irst Sunday service after I went back to Hungary, I invited people who were sick to come out. I prayed for them and blew on them. I prayed for four people and they all got healed that day. One lady couldn’t walk or do anything for herself, and she was using a special walking aid and braces because she also had broken bones in her neck. I noticed her while I was preaching, and then she came forward when I made that call. I prayed for her and she was completely healed. She started laughing and smiling. This was a big miracle in our church. We also organized a church conference, where I taught and imparted my brethren with all that I received at the Healing School. Over 500 people were in attendance and the power of God was mightily present. It was a glorious time of fellowship with the Word, and Holy Ghost impartation. I introduced books and other materials from Pastor Chris to the church and we adopted them for use in our services and leadership training programs. My church leaders and brethren are daily growing in the accurate knowledge of the Word and our ministry’s inluence is spreading faster than ever before.
The nation of Hungary and Europe need to experience the healing power of God through the ministry of the man of God, Pastor Chris. As I watched Pastor Chris pray for the sick at the Healing School, I realized that, if you want to reach people with this Gospel of Christ, you have to preach with words and with works. So, another thing I did upon our return to Hungary was to share my experience and the results that we saw in our church afterwards with other ministers of the faith. We’ve had ministers’ conferences and forums, where men and women of God from every part of Hungary and other countries come for moments of fellowship and prayer. My message to them is the same one I received from Pastor Chris at the Healing School: God’s Word is the Way, the Truth and the Life. It is the secret to success in ministry. It is our responsibility as ministers to make full proof of this Word, so we continually walk therein until we prevail. Their lives are never the same after, and they leave refreshed, transformed and strengthened for greater works by the Spirit of God. These ministers are always very excited about my testimonies and are eager to come with me to the Healing School. Three people came with me the irst time I visited, and seven people came the second time. This has been our testimony over the years; the more people we tell about the ministry of Pastor Chris, the more people we have who want to come and have this great experience. Also, coming to the Healing School afected my family in a very special way. I had a special time of impartation with my family when I got back. I ministered specially to my son and my daughter, and they were totally changed. They became active in ministering to other young people and are on ire for God. When I was visiting the Healing School the following year, they came with me and attended the International Easter Youth Camp with Pastor Chris. My father, too, changed; he got baptized and now supports my ministry, helping with the work and preaching as well. My family serves God. The Healing School changed my life and ministry. Thank you, Pastor Chris, for the opportunity to be a part of your life-changing Ministers’ Visitation Program. I feel your love for us and for God’s people all over the world. I will continue to pray that the Lord bless you more and more. Bishop Tamas Raki New Covenant Church, Hungary. Are you a minister of the Gospel?

t’s the end of the year. Also, it’s the most demanding time of the year. With activities winding down and the holiday season approaching, there are a lot of things to put in place and get right just before the holidays and Christmas celebrations. For many, the festive season is full of social interactions with family, friends and colleagues.
losses. When it comes to holiday shopping, just keep it simple. 3.
BREATHE: You shouldn’t be festive and fatigued at the same time. Engage in activities that are relaxing and beneicial for your physical and spiritual health. Refresh yourself with the Word of God; spend time in personal study and listen to messages. Stressful activities increase heartbeat and shallow breathing. Work on reversing the process by taking out time to breathe. Breathe in deeply through your nose, hold that breath for 15 to 20 seconds and then slowly breathe out through your mouth. Repeat for a couple of minutes to calm yourself. Lack of sleep can make you feel irritable and more prone to stress, so avoid breaking your usual sleep patterns during this period and make sure you get enough sleep.
4.
FAMILY TIME: Create time for family and friends. Cherish the company and fellowship that you share with your loved ones. The people in your life make you laugh, and they make it easier for you to count your blessings and remember all the things you should be grateful for. They also provide emotional support and the more time you spend with them, the less you’re tempted to ind negative alternatives for coping. It doesn’t matter whether you’re studying the Word, listening to music, walking, playing games or watching movies, just do it together.
5.
THANKSGIVING: Thanksgiving is a very important part of our lives, especially at auspicious moments like the end of the year. This is a time to relect on the love of God and to express your gratitude for all He has done. Research shows that grateful people are highly unlikely to be depressed or stressed. Being thankful will also lower blood pressure, and you’ll have more energy to get through each day. You have a lot to be thankful for, so spend your December with thanksgiving in your heart.
Despite all the activities, you ought to still have a wonderful holiday, enjoy the Christmas celebrations and relax as you share the joy of the season with your loved ones. Here are a few tips that will help you have a pleasant and less stressful December. 1.
2.
PLAN AHEAD: It’s all about the plan. Having a detailed plan this season will leave you with plenty time and energy for you to celebrate. Start making a list of the things you can do early, like shopping for presents and decorations, for instance. Be as detailed as possible. Include phone numbers or email addresses to make contacting vendors, suppliers and volunteers simpler. Categorize and prioritize your list according to when they should be done and what can be done in batches. Don’t pile up the work till the week before Christmas. Delegate the responsibility for certain tasks to other family members to reduce your workload. Keep the list for next year; even though it will need updating, it will remind you of what to plan for. Your plan should include the scheduled time to stop all holiday preparations, so that you can rest and enjoy your holiday. SHOP SMARTLY: Do not shop by sight. Have a shopping list that will help you make healthier food choices, get more thoughtful gifts and ind reusable decorations, all without going over budget. Try shopping online as much as possible to minimize having to work your way through the holiday crowd, which can be quite stressful. This one trick will save you time, alleviate stress, and may even save you money. Use reputable online retailers to avoid unwarranted
