OUR PROFILE
OUR PROFILE
The ministry started as a House Fellowship in Calabar Urban July 20, 1997. This fellowship metamorphosed into church setting in March 1998. During my theological studies at Grace Bible Institute and Seminary, Calabar, I had a burden for village ministry where souls are in utter depravity and ignorance of the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Consequently, the Lord arranged and sent me to Bacoco villages in Calabar Municipal Government with the assistance of Church Planting Partners International, in October 2003.
When the Lord opened my eyes to see that ministry work is mostly needed now in the villages, I relocated from town to have my base in the villages with the hope that the Lord will use this ministry to break the strongholds of religious spirit and ignorance that had plagued the villages in such a way that there is no slight difference between the churched and the unchurched. I have since then been struggling depending upon the Holy Spirit to bring light through the gospel of Jesus Christ to the inhabitants of these villages. There are divine indications that CRA shall breakeven with the foundational salvation messages currently being poured upon these people. The village serves as a base that will reach out to other nations of the world.
THE COMISSION:
We give attention to the teaching of sound Biblical doctrine, discipleship, exhortation, warnings, and reminding, for the achievement of our goal. Please read Joshua 1:5-9; 1st Timothy 4:6-7, 11-16). There is an objective:
“Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom: that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus” (Colossians 1:28) KJV
OUR APPEAL:“Come, and let us return unto the Lord… After two days He will revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight… and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.” (Habakkuk 6:1-3).
THE NATURE OF THE MINISTRY:A Pentecostal and Evangelical ministry, Christian Revival Assembly (CRA) is non-denominational in nature since it is concerned with Christianity as the Body of Christ universally. There is no gainsaying the fact that what is going on in the church today is to a large extent different from the state of the early church described in the Acts of the Apostles. The ideal church has gone to market and is lost in labyrinth. This is unfortunate because the church must return to that state where holiness and righteousness, charity and chastity prevail if Christ must come to take the church a chaste virgin. CRA believes that if the present church scattered all over the world in millions would be sanctified and “meet for the Master’s use” (2nd Timothy 2:21), the entire world system would experience an amazing revival and transformation that would depopulate hell and populate heaven and very soon the coming of the Lord to rapture the saints would be a dream come true. We need, therefore a REVIVAL that will bring transformation to the church which will in turn transform our generation to raise up a great army for the Lord and a band of saints to be ready to meet with the Lord at His soon coming. Lord, send REVIVAL or send DEATH!
OUR VISION, MISSION AND BACKGROUND
To evangelize and bring people to the knowledge of God, teach them the way of the Lord and the kingdom lifestyle, disciple them unto Christ-likeness, equip them for ministry to the world, and nurture them to be presented rapturable at the coming of the Lord.
THE VISION STATEMENT AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
We are in a generation where Christianity has been bastardized, slaughtered, confused, corrupted, polluted, diluted, religionized, and made bankrupt. Holiness messages have disappeared from majority of our pulpits, with millions of mere professors filled with religious spirits, devotedly doing things their own way groping in darkness, going their own direction contrary to the life of God
OUR MOTTO/MESSAGE
HEAVEN OUR GOAL (Luke 13:24)
“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to’. (NIV) THE MESSAGE:WAKE UP FROM SLEEP. TIME IS RUNNING OUT (Romans 13:11-14)
“And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature”. (NIV)THE COMISSION:
