I want to share some exciting new changes from immediate effect for Birmingham House of Prayer.  For a while now, the Lord has been speaking to me about studying 'Times and Seasons' and to really discern being in the right place at the right time.  This is not to say that I’ve been misaligned, however, I do believe that the Lord is asking us to become more focussed on this subject as we prepared for a new spiritual year (Rosh Hashanah) on the 8^th September 2010. 

 

With that in mind, HOP will no longer meet on the last Friday of every month from immediate effect.  THERE WILL BE NO HOP ON FRIDAY 27TH AUGUST 2010.  The Lord has been speaking to me about His spiritual cycles; one being the monthly celebration of “First Fruits”.

 

There are many scriptures that speak about celebrating and offering the First of ALL the Lord has blessed us with (great and small) and yet we somehow, through lack of understanding or distraction, seem to miss our appointed time with the Lord.

 

 

Rosh Chodesh is the celebration of the beginning of the month (lunar month).  Psalm 81:3 declares “Sound the ram's horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our Feast; this is a decree for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob”.

 

2 Chronicles 2:4 shows us that as Solomon was preparing the build the Temple to honour the name of the Lord, he refers to the weekly, monthly and yearly cycles of the Lord.  The weekly cycle is the Sabbath, the monthly cycle is the new moon celebration and the yearly cycles, Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles (Ex 23:14-17).

 

 

Proverbs 3:9-10  “Honour the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine”.

 

Ezekiel 44:30 “The first of the ripe fruits and all the gifts brought to the LORD will go to the priests. The first samples of each grain harvest and the first of your flour must also be given to the priests so the LORD will bless your homes.(NLT)

 

 

Ex 23:19 "As you harvest your crops, bring the very best of the first harvest to the house of the LORD your God. (NLT).

 

 

 

Taking all the above into account, I have been led by the Lord to change the date that we meet for Birmingham House of Prayer.  We will no longer meet on the last Friday of every month from immediate effect.  We will now meet on the First Friday of every month to honour the Lord at the beginning of the month (Rosh Chodesh) with our prayer, worship and our first fruit financial and time offerings.

 

 

 

I am delighted to confirm that we have Guest Speaker “Apostle Obii Pax-Harry”.

 

Obii is the founder of Women Arise Prayer Network, House of Prayer, Nehemiah Company International, Women of Destiny and Senior Pastor of Resurrection Life Assembly.

 

Known for her accurate Prophetic Mantle, International Apostolic Mandate and her dynamic ability to understand 'Times and Season' has caused her to become a sought after International conference speaker and training mentor.  Obii’s ability to strategically unravel the Glory of God hidden in the mystery of His Word has positioned, Individuals, churches and nations to become passionate nation changers.

 

Obii carries an infectious passion for Jesus and a desire to see individuals reach their full potential.  She is married to Pax, has three beautiful children and is the author of Issachar Mandate & Breaking Demonic Cycles.

 

Obii will be teaching us on the subject of “The Place of Revelation in Strategic Prayer”. Obii has also promised to reveal the “First Fruits Word of the Lord for 2011”.

 

 

I am really excited that Obii (Founder of House of Prayer) is coming to launch our very first “First Fruits House of Prayer”.

 

Please come expectant and invite your friends.  We are expecting the presence of the Lord to come in a way we’ve not experienced before as we honour Him with our First Fruits and as Obii honours the Lord by sharing the Word of the Lord for 2011 as we prepare to enter into the new spiritual year of Rosh Hashanah.
