Short History of Office Manager:
The Power in the Message
I was in Pentecost Assemblies leading a prayer group in my area. My young brother visited me and shared to me Baptism in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I believed and got baptized, but continued in the denomination just like my brother. The impact of the Message came after reading two Spoken Word books bought by my brother and given to me; Laodicea and Choosing Of A Bride. Right there and then I came out of the denomination, and together with others, started witnessing. Then the fellowship started.
In 1987, the Message had such an impact upon the denominations as many believed and came out. This caused someone, and others, from Pentecostal Holiness to plan to burn our Message books. But one intellectual among them suggested to come and gather with us. He requested to give a testimony, us not knowing what was in his mind. Whilst in front, he produced from his paper bag two messages and tore them and got an “Only Believe” song book and tore it also. He called us a cult. He left together with his friend. They got to their church and rejoiced. The same evening that man went mad. To date he is still mad. Those people in his denomination have a lot of respect for the Message now. Some of the pastors come to the Library to borrow and buy the Spoken Word books. They also like watching the 20th Century Prophet and The Deep Calleth Unto The Deep video.
There is power in this message. From the time it was spoken from the mouth of the prophet, on to the tapes and books, it's still got the healing power, blessing power, and cursing power to those fighting it.
May the Lord bless you
