Christmas 2013 Greetings

---Dear- Ones,

I love creating the Christmas Newsletter with Greetings from all over the world coming our way and to you as well! I returned from Nigeria on Nov 26th just in time for Thanksgiving.  It has been a wonder to think I’ve been in Africa THREE times this year!  God is so gracious and good and all of you also for partnering with me in prayers and offerings to send me.  THANK YOU so much!  I am humbled, and fired up all at once!  Next year holds great promise of even more opportunities as I reconnected with a Bishop I had met in 2004 and also met 2 young men who have lively, growing ministries who just pulled on the anointing with in me!  Their desire literally rearranged part of the trip supernaturally, putting me in their churches for Sunday services!  The outpouring of Grace was so tremendous that I actually fell asleep in Pastor John’s office after I ministered in the morning! (That has never happened before!  Church was continuing and they took me back to eat and I fell sound asleep!)  Then a healing/miracle service that evening at Pastor Niyi’s (pronounced “Nee”) church with tremendous outpouring as well.  In that service I preached on Jesus being in your boat, but you’re still trusting in your own abilities and know how. It was a really good message! I was impressed with God, lol!  Sometimes when I am speaking by the Spirit, I am listening and learning at the same time myself!  Got to keep it real here!   I am amazed, so amazed by Him and just want to praise Him and give thanks. Truly every day is ripe with miracles!

You dance over me

While I am unaware

You sing all around

But I never hear the sound

Lord, I'm amazed by You

Lord, I'm amazed by You

Lord, I'm amazed by You

And how You love me

You paint the morning sky

With miracles in mind

My hope will always stand

For You hold me in Your hand

How deep, how wide

How great is Your love for me

Lord, I'm amazed by You

Lord, I'm amazed by You

Lord, I'm amazed by You

And how You love me…                                                               

I stand amazed by You…         

I’m amazed by YOU!

Blessings to you mama-mama, hope you are enjoying your stay in Nigeria? Who takes care of you? Is all well? You are Busy tirelessly doing the work of ministry. You left the comfort and the brightness of your country and you are in one dark side of Africa blessing lives. I even wonder if there is electricity where you are and if the roads are not as bad as the one we drove on during our April mission trip in Nigeria. Are you eating well? We miss you and I trust God to see you soon.  God bless you mama-mama. Here finally are my Christmas greetings to the partners and friends of H n H:

“I bring you seasons greetings from The Gambia.  It is that time of the year again, when you are really thankful for everything merry and bright. May this Christmas be a delight and may the merriness of Christmas and the happiness of the New Year follow you throughout the year.   May the angels of heaven shower choicest blessings upon you and your household on this Christmas and step into the new year with grace for life and kingdom advancement ~ wishing you a merry merry Christmas!”  Priest Gideon...  Prophetic Foundation  Ministries Int'l - The Gambia.

Dearly Beloved friends and partners of H&H, I bring you greetings from Ibadan, Nigeria, Wishing you a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.  I need to also let you know that your support for H&H has always come up as a memorial before God. Hallelujah!

2013 will go down in history as phenomenal in H&H because the Lord brought our Beloved Mama Nancy to us in Africa 3 distinct times- twice to Nigeria and once to South Africa! I strongly take this as a signal of greater things to come. Africa is waiting for you and there are lots more to do.

One key need in Africa missions is mature leadership blessed with scriptural depth, profound relationship with Christ and love unfeigned. This has been a key objective of Mama's mentoring pattern. I am a firsthand partaker of God's grace in her. I have experienced courage and strength to press on. Hence I look forward to a great and far-reaching ministry of impact in the nations as I also continue my ongoing work in Africa and the UK.

Thank you, Mama Nancy & Papa Tom for taking your place in Christ. As your days, so shall your strength be!   We love you.    -Rev (Dr) Olufunso Joseph Omidiran

We are always so much busy in this wonderful month of His coming for all the man kind, we are always do and arrange as many outreaches , Christmas meetings, Children Festivals, do food and clothes distribution for the poor and needy Christians ( brick makers) etc... so far till 26th of December we have already scheduled more than 20 Gospel meetings in three cities in which i am only preaching about the virgin Birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ who is gift of God to us all and through Only believing in Him and accepting Him we can be saved...

So surely these are more than our regular and usual meetings which we do every month, and we need your much prayer support, we cannot win this battle without arm-lifters & prayer support...Your Son, P

Mama Nancy Came To Africa.

Adam called her woman

Saying She's a womb-Man

But few of such conceive and deliver vision

Relevant to human destinies in Africa.

From the heart of Maryland in USA

Thousands of miles across the Sea

Mama Nancy came to Africa

Propelled by the mighty Arms of God

Behold God's Apostle of love and Compassion

Accessing every door the Spirit provide

To bring many sons and daughters to glory

Extending the dominion of Christ among our people

At the shrine of lnikpi in Idah

Mama travail to break the hold of darkness

Confronting other darkness with the light of Christ

Denying self of pleasure to do God's pleasure

Mama Nancy has a mission in Africa

Mama Nancy is an Apostle

Mama Nancy is a Mother

Your African children says;

 Mama! Keep Coming

I LOVE THAT CHARMING NAME

Jesus...

Can there be one more name more charming

A name more precious than any other

Woven into the very warp and woof of our psalmody

Jesus...

The name which moves the harp of heaven to melody

Many of our hymns begin with it

And scarcely any that be good for anything without it

Jesus...

A name like the honeycomb dripping with honey.

Luscious are the drops that distil from it.

It is the sum total of all delight.

Jesus...

The muzic with which the bell of heaven sings

A song in a word

An ocean for comprehension

Jesus...

A drop of brevity, a surge of power

A matchless oratorio in two syllables

A gathering up of the hallelujah of eternity

Jesus...

All the glories of Heaven, all the beauties in the Earth

In just five letter words ....JESUS

How I love your charming Name.

                   By Prophet Niyi © 2013

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

God you are so awesome! How great and majestic is Your Name! How Matchless is your beauty! We your people are so blessed beyond measure… Truly You ARE a “good” God indeed.  May we feast upon your goodness this Christmas season and bring gifts of Thanksgiving, gifts of Praise, gifts of souls brought into your Kingdom of Glory and lay them at your feet in adoration and love for WHO you are!  Thank you for the gift of Life, and an Eternity in Relationship with You. 

I and Tom and the Board of Directors and all the ministers/ministries we have touched this year, wish you a Joyous, Over-flowing Christmas, filled with the best present of all- His Presence!  God Bless each and every one of you abundantly over and over again.  

Love~
