THE INAUGURAL BIBLE STUDY 2025

All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God. It becomes illuminated when it suddenly hits you and becomes a revelation. But even after it becomes a revelation, and there is no proper accurate
interpretation of that Scripture, the application would not be done appropriately. So, we ask for all five : inspiration, illumination, revelation, interpretation, and proper application.

The number “five” is the number of grace. And it is not only grace. Four other things are five-letter words — mercy, faith, glory, and peace.

In preparation for the Lord’s Evangelism Master Plan that will be adopted in 2025 and beyond, we now have a new CGCC peace salutation. We should not just invite people to church but also
ensure that they receive Christ into their lives and become disciples.

The origin of the peace salutation is in 1 Samuel 25: 2-22.

God forbid that you do not mean what you say to your neighbours because God sees all hearts. If you say “peace to you” to your neighbour and there is a dagger in your heart, God will judge you.

The application of the peace salutation was also made in the New Testament by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. It was extremely violent against cities where He performed great miracles, yet they spurned all these activities as if nothing happened there (Matthew 10:11-15, Luke 10:5-17).

The great peace dimension now comes after knowing the origin and application of our peace salutation. For those who love the law of the Lord, great peace is bestowed upon them with the assurance that nothing shall cause them to stumble (Psalm 119:165).

If you are offended, it cuts off your anointing. You cannot be offended and anointed at the same time. You need grace to truly love the law of the Lord to the extent that nothing will cause you to stumble.

Based on our depth of understanding of the peace of God that passes all understanding, a new CGCC salutation of peace has been developed, which will be shared every time we congregate in the
sanctuary, at our different affinity group meetings, at the Church-in-the-House centres, and during our Church-in-theCloud meetings. It will become something we are so conscious of as part of our lives, and we are willing to extend peace to every territory of our influence.

If the Spirit of God dwells in you and moves in you, then you are not a nuisance but a genius (Genesis 41:37-46, Daniel 1:17; 2:46-49, 2 Kings 2:19-22).

The New CGCC Peace Salutation:

Peace to you, peace to your house, peace to all that you have, including your territory of influence—your village, your neighbourhood, your hometown, your city, your workplace and field of endeavours, your school, your recreation centre, your salons, your nation and other nations of the earth assigned to you by the Lord—and great peace to those who love the law of the Lord therein, and nothing shall cause them to stumble.

The five-point prophecy that will, by God’s grace, shape the year 2025 and galvanise our people for necessary actions are outlined below:

1. The year 2025 has been declared our Year of Fulfilled Dreams in this house. Nobody will hinder our dreams from being fulfilled because God, the dream giver, is also the dream fulfiller.
2. The year 2025 is also the year of the genius. We are not stepping down for the devil; instead, we are stepping up to fulfill God’s assignment for our lives. It will take the genius, not just the experienced, to turn around the negative things that have plagued our nation.
   “Genius is the ability to act rightly without precedent – the power to do the right thing the first time.” — Elbert Hubbard
   “When human power becomes so great and original that we can account for it only as a kind of divine imagination, we call it genius.” — William Crashaw
   “When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
   If the Spirit of God dwells in you and moves in you, then you are not a nuisance but a genius (Genesis 41:37-46, Daniel 1:17; 2:46-49, 2 Kings 2:19-22).
   You are the salt of the earth, you are the light of the world, and you are a city that is set on a hill that cannot be hidden (Matthew 5:13-16). The likes of Joseph, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach,
   Abed-Nego, and Elijah were the geniuses of their days. Every believer carries the same Spirit.
3. The year 2025 is also the year of the unprecedented prophetic overflow.
   Many will experience the realm of blessing that apostle Paul described as having all and abound (Philippians 4:18-20).
4. In 2025, the cup of the saints of God will be full and will overflow.
   So, do not pray for your enemies to die; instead, pray for them to remain alive and be spectators when your long-standing dreams are fulfilled, like that of David (Psalm 23: 5-6).
5. Because of the unprecedented prophetic overflow among the saints, there will be several occurrences and reoccurrences of things never done before. Things that can be described as first of its kind without rehearsals or precedents, and for whose inventions and consequent development no school can account, will happen in 2025.
   As we locate and reach our God-given “Beersheba,” unusual divine interventions, directions, and succour will cause us to birth things that did not exist before.
   What happened before regarding new inventions will happen now with bewildering rapidity in 2025.
