OUR LEADERSHIP MODEL
Matthew 20:25-28; John 3:27-30
Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:25-28 NIV)
OUR LEADERSHIP DRIVE
That He may Increase and I may decrease….John 3:30
THE ARMY OF THE LORD
In the early days of this ministry, things became very tough and extremely challenging. That was when the Presiding Overseer heard the audible voice of the Holy Spirit declare; “The army that man builds will fall, the Army that God builds will stand, Christ the King Miracle Church is the army of the Lord”. God has shown His faithfulness ever since. Although the Presiding Overseer Dr. Wisdom Okotie founded Christ the King Miracle Church by divine order in July of 1997 along with twelve other brethren, the truth is that this is not a new work. It has been in the making according to spiritual revelation from the beginning of time, and it is just a continuation of an already established work, confirmed by the transfer of power, through divine revelation and the laying of hands. Consequently, the Presiding Overseer decided not to use the title Founder because the anointing and power was imparted to him through several Spiritual generals who have since gone to be with the Lord and who established global ministries that still endure till today. As a result, we are mandated to follow the heavenly vision and not man’s wisdom.
Following divine directives as stated in scripture and as guided and interpreted by the Holy Spirit is the life-line of this end-time Church. We are sent by God to be unique and do things not to satisfy man’s agenda but to obey God’s directives. Through divine revelation from scriptures, dreams, trance, night visions, prophecies, Word of knowledge, Word of wisdom, Voice of the Holy Spirit and several other divine encounters the Lord made it known to the Presiding Overseer Dr. Wisdom Omoviroro Okotie that he is to build and establish an end- time Church with a global impact. Some of these revelations began when the overseer was nine years old and in the early eighties and continue till the present. Day after day and night after night he continues to hear the Lord’s voice about this great commission to the world.
BIBLICAL PATTERNS OF DIVINE IMPARTATIONS:
Divine impartation is a biblical tradition that started from the Old Testament and continued with Christ and the Apostles. Every chosen leader in Scripture had to be called by God and affirmed by other leaders of like call. Even though they were called by God they still needed validation and affirmation from their superiors. There is a divine protocol. Not following the protocol as established by God has caused problems for so many individuals, who felt they could short cut the process. That could be one of the reasons why so many people fail to fulfill their destinies. Abraham blessed Isaac as a result Isaac was blessed. Isaac blessed Jacob as a result Jacob was blessed. Jacob blessed Joseph and his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim as a result Joseph was blessed. Blessings and divine grace are transferable from one generation to another. Moses laid hands on Joshua and Joshua was filled with the Spirit of wisdom. Elijah passed his mantle to Elisha and Elisha performed double the number of miracles of Elijah. God appeared to Joseph in a dream and promised to make him ruler over his brethren. Samuel anointed David as King and from that day forward King David was a champion and won all battles that he fought. God appeared to Solomon in a dream and blessed him with wisdom, supernatural wealth and longevity. Through many prophetic utterances from several prophets a Savior was given to the World in the person of Christ. Our Lord and Savior Jesus proclaimed Peter the head of the Church and Peter enjoyed divine protection from Herod’s wrath. John the Baptist, the forerunner of Christ said that he was not the Christ but was sent to prepare the way for Christ. According to John, he that is from above is above all.
IN THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES…
In the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter shall be established. By divine design, the Lord had also revealed to the father of Dr. Emmanuel Ayorinde (the latter is presently the Assistant Overseer of Christ the King Miracle Church Worldwide), and then to himself, and a nephew, in deep spiritual revelations the advent and future of this great commission. These intimations took place, even before Dr. Ayorinde and the Presiding Overseer met at all or knew each other. Further spiritual information followed. More than twenty-five years ago, Dr. Emmanuel Ayorinde mentioned to the Presiding Overseer that the Lord had revealed to him that in future both of them will have to do the work of the Lord together. He also revealed how the Lord appeared to him and endorsed this Commission. This revelation has since come to pass. Dozens of accurate and pin-point revelations have been given to the APO and dozens of matured believers concerning this great and mind blowing Commission. There are more than enough confirmations from several independent sources about the great plan of God for this end time Church. By His grace and power, this is the place for one of the last major visitation of the most high God.
LAST SHIP OF SALVATION:
Christ the King Miracle Church is an end-time Church, designed to impact the world in a supernatural way. This church and this commission is from above and because it is from above we shall continue to experience heavenly manifestations of God’s ever flowing waves of glory. Apart from direct anointing and empowerment by the Lord through divine revelations, the supernatural transfer of power from one individual to another has been the scriptural pattern of how this ministry was established, with God as the Initiator. After all, power belongs to God and He shuffles it whatever way he decides. The transfer of power from several spiritual generals to one individual is something unique and a humbling experience. It is the culmination of the end time display of God’s power to the entire Universe. God has the final say as to how and when people are blessed with heavenly power. There is always a specific reason why God sends people to the world. In this case, the end of this age is at hand and many don’t even know it. As it was in the days of Noah so shall the second coming of the Son of man be. People will be eating, drinking, partying and marrying each other, reading and writing, then suddenly will come the end of this age. No man living or dead can successfully give to another man what God has not imparted and commanded to be given. The commission on the Presiding Overseer is many commissions in one and everything concerning his call was orchestrated by the power and wisdom of the Almighty God, not by any man.
SEVERAL COMMISSIONS IN ONE
Three ministers, each at his own time, as planned and initiated by God, laid hands and transferred the anointing to the Presiding Overseer as directed by God. God was the originator of all of these supernatural transfers. Clear directives were given by God through spectacular revelations before the life manifestation of these plans. One thing is clear, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is alive and well and he still speaks to his chosen ones today as he did in the past. The commission was according to God’s plan not man’s idea. All three Apostles went to be with the Lord within a few months of each of these impartations. God revealed his plan ahead of time. These were all ministers with proven worldwide ministry marked with signs, wonders and miracles. After these divine encounters the Presiding Overseer has continued to receive heavenly visitations on a regular basis to this very day. To God alone be all the Glory. All of the divine promises of impartations and divine empowerment have come to pass. The hour for heavenly manifestation of His glory has finally come. We all need to thank God Almighty for His grace and mercy that has made us part of this magnificent display of His end time glory.
THE MIRACLE OF ATTENDING ORU
Almost the same period that all these revelations were been unfolded, the Lord also revealed to the Presiding Overseer who had not gone to college as at the time of these revelations that He would open doors for him to go to the United State from his native country Nigeria, for ministerial training at Oral Roberts University, even when there was no feasible way for that to happen financially as at that time. The purpose of the trip was in preparation for the global ministry. Today, God’s promise to bring him to one of the best Christian Schools has come to pass. By the Grace of the Almighty God, the Presiding Overseer was able to graduate from Oral Roberts University, Summa Cum Laude and was the overall Outstanding Theological Student of his class. He was able to complete his education at ORU through the generous award of Academic and Private Scholarships. To God alone be all the glory. Finally, Rev. Dr. Wisdom Okotie is the President of Wisdom Bible Institute and Mizpah Bible School in partnership with Oral Roberts University. He is a graduate of Trinity College of the Bible and Seminary in Newburgh, Indiana, Phoenix University of Theology, Phoenix, Arizona, The University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma, and Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, from where he graduated Summa Cum Laude. He was voted the Outstanding Theological Student of his graduating class. Dr. Okotie is a member of Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. He has two earned doctorate degrees: D.Min. and a PhD.
