Now when
they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at
the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples and said to them,
'Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it
you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and
bring it. (Mar 11:1-2 ESV)
Calling another Christian Student Congress this year is not just a
routine and not just to have a good programme. It is a mandate from the
Lord Himself. He has come to this junction in His program for our age
where He needs to reveal His glory. It is time for Him to ride into His
Body and show His power among men. But no matter how He had worked
before, this time He is sending two of His disciples to go into the
village
and fetch for Him a colt tied for the special occasion of His triumphant
entry. It is a colt on which 'no one has ever sat'. He is recruiting
lives that are fresh and free from all that has wrecked several lives.
He is calling them in the dew of their years. He is calling them before
anything gets spoilt. He wants to engage them before they are engaged
to wrong men and women who would only damage their destiny.
He would ride on these lives into academics, into several professional
callings and drive away those who hitherto have occupied the seats
only to cheat and breed confusion in the land. He is demanding for you
this early because of His special plan for you, right from your mother's
womb. The Lord is eager to ride on your life into a glorious
manifestation of His power in this end time.
This invitation coming to you personally is a clear signal that God is
thinking about you. Just before anything gets so off-hand, and before
the enemy of your soul plunders you, the Lord is sending this word to
you. You are at the brink of a breakthrough and at the same time the
brink of a breakdown. The colt was tied where two ways met. You are indeed
at a junction of choices. Two ways are breaking forth ahead of you and
you must not step on the wrong path in life. My prayer is that God
will find in you that honoured colt He can sit upon to do His great work
among men in this generation. He is particular on the one, on which no
one has ever sat and that means you.
We look forward to all the 'cloaks' He will cast on your life to make
you fit to bear Him about among your colleagues. We believe that by
your life, hosanna will ring all over the earth again to the King.
Come praying. Come expecting. Come trusting.
It will be the
turning point in your entire career in life. Your accommodation and
feeding
will be free as the Lord has provided. Please pass this invitation
around to your friends and all for whom you desire something good.
God bless you.
Your brother,
Gbile Akanni.
