The Charismatic Old Catholic Church - Nigeria Province

Today marks the first priestly anniversary of Rev. Fr. Gabriel O. Obiano, COCC. Congrats Padre! May God Almighty renew your strength to continue in His Divine Vineyard.

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?_2Cor 6:14

Happy Third Sunday of Lent!!!

Remain strong in the Lord.

❤️

What makes one a Catholic?
Any specific attribute?

You will make it in life. Don't give up on the Lord now! He will never give up on you.

It's a beautiful day!!!

How's your Lenten period going?

"be strong in the Lord and in His Mighty Power..." Ephesians 6:10.

Keep up the good work of faith!!!

Don't study the Holy Scripture to win argument -- rather to know the Word (Jesus), and to teach/preach the Word (Jesus).

Good Day People of God. If you're destiny minded, you can check out this book: "MY WAY TO DESTINY," written by one of our priests.

THE HOST BECOMES THE BODY OF CHRIST!!!

This is called host when unconsecrated by the priest. It's just a piece of ordinary bread. However, when consecrated by the priest, it's no longer bread or host. It becomes the Body of Christ.

What we have here in this picture is the unconsecrated host.

When consecrated by a priest, this isn't a host or bread. This part confuses the atheists and those who do not believe in the Mysteries of bread becoming the Body of Christ and wine becoming the Blood of Christ.

If you find it hard to exercise your faith in other things, don't find it hard to exercise your faith when two species (bread and wine) become the Body and Blood of Christ.

This is part of our heritage. Jesus said: “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you," (John 6:53).

When we eat the Body and drink the Blood of Christ, the Devil is reminded that he has no hold on us. That he's a defeated foe. When we eat the Body and drink the Blood of Christ, we tell the Devil, "I belong to Jesus. He lives in me and His life I have. Therefore whatever your plans are for me, it has failed because I now have the life of Christ."

Let this be your faith each time you walk up to receive the precious Body and Blood of Christ.

May the Body and Blood of Christ bring us to eternal life!

Amen!

Keep enjoying the communion of saints and of the Lamb's Throne.

Only the Lamb of God can take sins away. Look upon Him seated on the Throne! He's worthy!!!

God's Grace to you this Lenten season and afterwards.

Today, you will be reminded by a Priest/Deacon of the Church that: "Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

Let us therefore live a life that is pleasing to God. Let's not forget that one day we shall return to dust.

Treat everyone with love of Christ as commanded by Christ!

Have a Blessed Ash Wednesday from all of us at The Charismatic Old Catholic Church - Nigeria Province.

IN HIS PRESENCE: Mon, Feb 20.

Theme: WHOM I'M IN CHRIST.

Let's begin with the LORD'S PRAYER.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

AMEN!!!

Many of you may not know whom you're in Christ.

Did you know when Jesus began His ministry, he once called the disciples servants and then later called them friends?

Jesus says to his disciples gathered with him in the upper room: “I no longer call you servants, because servants do not know their master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything I learned from my Father I have made known to you” (John 15:15).

Today we are neither friends or servants. Today, we are brothers(and sisters) of Jesus.

Jesus made this know to us when He resurrected from the dead. He does not need to call us servants nor friends. We have become one family with Him.

Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee...(Matt 28:10).

The message Jesus passed to the women who came to clean His Body in the tomb was a message of change in relationship: "Go and tell my brothers!" No longer friends but brothers.

His Death and Resurrection brought about our sonship.

We are not just friends or servants with the risen Christ but brethren with Him and co-heirs.

That's whom we are. We are the children of God. He lavished His love on us that we may be called the sons of God.

Key verses to meditate on:

John 1:12

1John3:1-2

Romans 8:14-17

Can you give God the praise!!! We can now call Him Father and He can now call us sons/daughters. This is whom you are through Christ.

Don't let the devil tell you otherwise. Don't let the world lie to you about your identity in Christ.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for chosen me as your child. Help me to live a life that is pleasing to you. Amen!!!

May the Blessings of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit be upon you now and forever!

Amen!

Good morning and have a Blessed day enjoying your sonship through Christ.

IN HIS PRESENCE: Sat, Feb 18.

Theme: *VICTORIOUS THROUGH CHRIST*

Let's begin with the *LORD'S PRAYER.*

*Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.*

*AMEN!!!*

When we talk about God's Grace, we talk about the unmerited mercy/favour God has shown us through Jesus His beloved Son. This is the mercy we do not deserve but God has moved beyond us deserving it and graciously showing us mercy.

This was not supposed to be so if Jesus didn't die on the Cross for us. No matter what you have done, Jesus is willing to accept you. He died for you.

If only you could accept Him and say with me: *Jesus, I believe you died for me that I will be saved. Save me today by the power of your Cross. For by your Cross, you have release God's Grace.* Amen!!!

Key verses for you to meditate upon:

*Colossians 1:12-14*

*Colossians 1: 21-22*

*Hebrews 4:16*

*Prophetic Decree over your life today:*

I want you to stand on your feet and make this declarations:

1. *I'm the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.*

2. *I'm saved by the blood of the Lamb*

3. *I've been crucified with Jesus. I no longer live but Christ lives in me.*

4. *Devil, you can't touch my life, health, family, business, for I bear the mark of the Cross.*

Child of God, you're victorious through Christ and I want you to keep confessing that. God through His Son has given us grace to be victorious and free.

May the Blessings of *God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit be upon you now and forever!*

*Amen!*

Good morning and have a Blessed day enjoying God's Grace.

Let's not be divided by Denominational names. Disjointed Body displeases the LORD.

❌And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my catholic; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

❌And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Anglican; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

❌ And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Methodist; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

❌And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Protestant; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

✅ And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. _Matt 16: 18

Christ founded His Church and not Denomination. The earlier we know this, the better for us as we embrace unity as a Church founded by Christ Himself.

©️ Fr. Ooc

It is foolishness to say Jesus founded a particular Denomination. Jesus founded His Church but men founded Denominations. Don't be deceived! In Christ, we all are jointed.

Good morning good people of God!!!

Follow the way of Christ, every other road leads to destruction!!!

Follow the way of Life, every other road leads to death!!!

Have a Blessed Tuesday.

When Christ died, He died for all!!!

Quit acting like you're the one that died to purchase the Church.

Let all come to Christ through the message of reconciliation!!!

Follow the way of the Cross!

It will not be easy but keep trusting in the LORD, the Author of our faith.

Welcome to 2023!!!

The year of resting in God's Power and Glory.

Happy New Year from all of us at COCC-NIG PROVINCE!
