About CLASSIIIC

I would consider it a waste of time, efforts and resources of attendees if this is just another church conference. I desire that you will understand the reason for CLASSIIIC so that you will ask God to enlarge your capacity to receive and retain the things that will be taught and be able to release them in your areas of primary assignment.

Between 1989/1990, the Holy Spirit directed me to start a Bible College in order to train men and women into whom I could pour myself to help me carry the load of what He’s given me to do. I have never been to a Bible College in my life, but have had the privilege to teach in most of the prestigious ones.

I taught the first set of students in my living room over a period of three months so that they could help teach those that will attend the Bible School. The school later became a  Bible College affiliated to the Indiana Christian University, offering a two-year certificate course and students awarded certificates from Indiana Christian University on completion of their course. Over the next few years, I became disconnected knowing that it had served its original purpose of raising people and not serve as a regular school where people came to receive certificates. After about two years of contemplation, it was discontinued in December 2005. In its place, CLASSIIIC, holding initially in August annually, was birthed in obedience to God’s instruction and it will remain for as long as God wants it.

The word CLASSIIIC means Christian Leaders Advanced Strategic Service Intensive Course. It is meant to be Intensive, Interactive and Interdenominational. It is not in any way restricted to the members of Latter Rain Assembly (now CGCC) alone. It is my desire that we would give to you that we have received of the Lord so that you can transmit it to others that will come your way hereafter. CLASSIIIC is not about Certification. We were not first called Christians by God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit, but first by the people in Antioch to describe a set of ordinary men doing extra-ordinary things. They were referred to as Christ-ones because they were Christ-like. Unfortunately, this word has become a religious label in our time. CLASSIIIC is not for babes least they get confused and chocked up due to a lack of understanding of the words they hear. It is not a gathering for infant Christians.

CLASSIIC is for Christian Leaders and matured believers who no longer have need of milk. It is for those who no longer need anyone to teach them the principles of the doctrine of Jesus Christ, who by reason of use have their senses disciplined/exercised to discern what is good and from what is evil (Hebrews 5). CLASSIIIC aims to ensure a continuous progression in every individual, making of you a wise master-builder; laying foundation according to God’s patter/architectural blue-print (1 Corinthians 3). We must have accurate patterns for our lives and ministries to the point of being able to re-configure entire nations by knowing the exact plan and purpose of God for the nation because He predetermined the boundaries of every nation and the time of their visitation.

To Advance means to go forward, to progress, to move towards completion or the finishing line. For many people in the church today, there is no advance movement but rather a circum-location, just as the children of Israel in wilderness. You need to ask yourself whether your progress is evident to all or whether you are just marching the same inglorious position. It also means to move up in the ranks. Thus, the question: Are you moving up in the ranks in ministry/business such that there is authority in your word or are you full of debates, not knowing where God is leading you and your company? Are you leading right such that the people following you will become “mighty men” like David’s because of the grace you carry or are there going to become totally dehumanized, oppressed and distressed? It can also mean to bring forward in time. If Daniel had not stumbled into the prophecy of Jeremiah that the years of captivity is to be seventy years, the Jews might have stayed in strange land forever. You need to have a steady progress towards completion with a view to advance the plans and purposes of God in the nations of the earth, in our nation and our individual cities. Without this understanding, your time in CLASSIIIC might be considered a waste.

STRATEGY is defined by the Webster’s dictionary as the science and art of conducting a military campaign in its large scale and long-term aspects. Under the administration of President Ronald Regan, the Strategic Defense Initiative, a US defense research program which was to build defensive systems that is able to destroy large numbers of nuclear war heads launched by intercontinental ballistic missiles or submarines ballistic systems, was established. This was done in view of the fact that a time will come when there would be the need to have a defensive mechanism that is able to ward off enemy-launched missiles against his nation. The church unfortunately operates without strategy to ward off attack that comes against it! Prophet Elisha knew of the king’s plan to behead him because he had a defense mechanism to detect things ahead of time and ward off by connecting to God. He was also able to declare the abundance ahead of time saying: “by this time tomorrow….” Because the eyes of his understanding had been enlightened to see that God had already opened the windows of heaven to pour out abundance. You know what lies ahead of you. God wants you to “come up here” so that He might show you the things that lie ahead. Daniel escaped perishing with the wise of Babylon because he sought God to know the dreams of the king. Strategy is to know that the enemy is approaching and to ward off the attack before it gets to you, so that you can match him at his own pace and displace him ahead of time.

When you undermine the strength of your adversary, you become a joke. The first-borns of the Israelites escaped perishing with those of the Egyptians because they have marked the lintels of their own household with the blood of the Passover lamb ahead of time, while the Egyptians were still ignorant of the impending danger. We perish with rest of the world going through the same adversary because we do not know ahead the impending danger, and do not have strategy to see and plan ahead. It is intensive because just as a farmer you must strategically cultivate every part of your farmland for maximum profitability. Every one appears in Zion must be strong!

Why we are here:

1. So that we might become effective witnesses of Jesus Christ, not mere reporters like Lot in Genesis 19, who could not convince his sons-in-law of the impending danger because they thought he was joking. Don’t be a joke!
2. To let you see that you cannot continue in the line and lineage of a discredited priesthood and manifest Christ in your generation.

May you operate in accurate discernment to ward off the attack of the enemy, may your environment respond to you and may you become a blessing to those you come in contact with as an effective witness of Jesus Christ
