HISTORIQUE

Au début, ce fut un petit groupe d’intercession qui devint plus tard l’un des premiers groupes de prière charismatique autonome du Zaïre.

Le Seigneur bénit le groupe qui grandit de plus et le Saint-Esprit nous aida à le transformer en centre d’évangélisation chargé d’actionner le Réveil et l’Edification des Eglises par l’organisation des évangélisations destinées à gagner les âmes perdue et des Convention Chrétiennes à l’intention des dirigeants des assemblées des (prières) églises.

Bref, nous sommes réunis autour du Christ dans un ministère commun pour le Réveil et l’Evangélisation de l’Eglise ;
Ephésiens 4,11-16

SOURCE D’INSPIRATION

Notre source d’inspiration est la sainte Bible qui est la seule parole écrite de Dieu.
L’onction du Saint-Esprit et la manifestation des dons spirituels occupent la plus importante place dans nos cultes. Les gens ne reçoivent jamais des titre honorifiques comme ailleurs dans certaines organisations communautaire mais seule l’onction spirituelle est la source du pouvoir et de toute autorité charismatique dans nos assemblées.

BASE DOCTRINALE

  1. Nous acceptons que Jésus-Christ est Seigneur et Dieu Véritable.
  2. Le baptême au nom de Jésus par immersion est le seul qui mène au salut
  3. Nous ne lions pas les mariages mais nous célébrons les fêtes de mariage ce seul Dieu lie les conjoints.
  4. Les petits enfants ne sont pas baptises mais sont présentés au Seigneur.
  5. Entre le Seigneur et son Eglise, pour cet age, il n’y a aucun intermédiaire ou aucune station spirituelle, le sacrifice de la Croix par le sang de Christ ayant accomplit l’œuvre d’expiation pour le salut des âmes qui se convertissent.
     

Sexual intimacy outside of Marriage
By Dr. Jean d'Arc K. Campbell
I know this topic is going to be a very sensitive one for many in the Body of Christ. Not only are there many unbelievers who are engaging in this sin and transgression against God, but there are many Christians themselves who are violating and breaking this one specific commandment from the Lord.

Psalm 51:1-4
1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.

4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge.

Sexual intimacy outside of marriage is considered to be adulterous. Adultery is violating the marriage vows of faithfulness. If you’re single and experiencing sexual intimacy, you’re still violating the vows of marriage — even though you haven’t yet spoken those vows in front of an audience. The vows are still there.

The speed limit on our city streets may be 35 miles per hour. Even if you don’t have a driver’s license, the law still exists. You don’t have to be 16 and of legal driving age to break this law. You could break the law on a motor scooter. In the same way, you don’t have to be married to break the vows of marriage.

We often equate virginity with sexual purity. The truth is, just become someone is a virgin doesn’t mean he or she is sexually pure. Virginity means that someone hasn’t engaged in sexual intercourse. Sexual purity isn’t simply refraining from intercourse. Sexual purity is a lifestyle. It involves what we wear, what we listen to, what we watch, who we date, what we say.

You may have friends who “have done everything but” and claim they’re sexually pure. Again, sexual purity is much more than simply refraining from intercourse. When God commands us not to commit adultery, He’s commanding that we not experience sexual intimacy outside the bonds of marriage.

Why is it wrong? Because sex was created by God to act as a bonding agent — a sort of superglue that cements two people closer than anything else can. When we engage in that bonding experience outside of marriage, we’re becoming closer and more intimate with another human than God intended. His gift of sex was intended for marriage and marriage only.

God not only wants to protect you physically (against sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy, AIDS), He also wants to protect you emotionally and spiritually. He’s commanding you say no now, so you can have a more fulfilling yes in the future!
What if you’ve been sexually abused? Does God hold that against you? Absolutely not! You were a victim of a hideous crime, and when God looks at you, He sees a pure and a whole person.

Know It!
There are always consequences when God’s commands are ignored. He has clearly given a bright red stop light regarding sexual intimacy outside of marriage. Wait until you’ve said your vows and have been pronounced husband and wife to follow the green light.

Read It!
Exodus 20:14;
14 "You shall not commit adultery”

Matthew 5:27-28;
27"You have heard that it was said 'Do not commit adultery.' 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

Ephesians 5:3-7.
3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a] 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.

Pray It!
Make a pledge to God to save yourself physically and emotionally for your future spouse.

OUR PROJECTS
We are planning to rebuild some of the many schools that have been destroyed in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo during the five year war in which four million lives were lost. So many children need food, clean water, and medicines. Our project is so big but by the grace of God we know it shall be done.
