777 is coming! Are you ready?

sunday service july 1 2007.

Count down to 777 is in its final phase and with just 6days remaining to the big day, the temperature is already rising. On Thursday while in a lunch hour fellowship at the church’s student drop in center,-The Whitehouse, Pastor Martin Ssempa leading the prayers, prayed for signs and for clear vision before the day comes. In the evening a rainbow showed up in the skies and the very next morning another one too also came up to the skies. All along we have been praying for dreams and visions for the day and this Sunday, many dreams for the day being a colorful event were presented as they were revealed through different people. As a church we are in the final stages of the 40 day fast which we begun on the 24th of May and as we enter the final week, a more intensified 24hr fasting period for 7 days has been declared as we prepare for 777.
This Sunday service was very colorful and prophetic and in a spectacle reflecting psalms 68 and 77.
From Psalms 77:7 came the cry, “will the Lord reject forever? Will He never show His favor again?”
And from Psalms 68:24-25, the procession that was coming in the presence of the Lord and how they were following themselves provided the background for how the procession of the worship team came in, first the flag bearers then the dancers and there after the singers and the musicians followed suit accordingly. The prayer for the day came from Psalms 68:28. As we seek the lord and His mighty Shekinah glory, just as in this verse, “summon your power o God, show your strength, o God as you have done before.” In this season of 777 we seek the power and strength of God just as it was in the times of Elisha and Daniel.
There too was a time of prophecy and we prophesied for the awakening of the nations, for a revival in the land, a prophecy that all kings and rulers will bow down before the Lord, prophecy a rise of young boys like David who are able to slay giants like Goliath and the arise of musicians, businessmen, an awakening of the apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers and pastors to lead the sheep. The prophecy for the worshipers to arise, and for the perfection and completion of the work of the Lord in our lives.
This service also featured as the last Sunday we were fellowshipping with our visitors from Pennsylvania- a group of 25 youth between 15 and 25 who have been with us for two weeks now and they have been involved in ministry work for instance ministering in schools and orphanages and carrying out different activities for the church ministry. They shared their stories, testimonies and experiences as the church was flagging them off back home in Pennsylvania.

Pastor Martin Ssempa preached about the extract from Psalms 77 and the message from verse 7, “Will the Lord reject forever?” This rather rhymes as 777. He begun off by elaborating more about 777, and introducing the guests that have confirmed to join the Christian community to worship including Alan Houston, the NewYork Knicks basketball player and Alan Kisaka the California based worship leader and he made a call to the members to pray and fast for the big day.
To the sermon, from Psalms 77:1-6, he goes on that…when we are in a problem that’s when we cry to the lord. We need to thank God for the problems we have. The problems that God brings to us make us very prayerful. When we are in comfort, we are always prayer less. Sometime we should refuse comfort as the psalmist says in verse 2. That’s why we should refuse the comfort of food and fast and beseech God’s face and perfection.
In verse 7 the psalmist cries out, “will the Lord reject for ever?” this should be the cry of our hearts as was in the days of revivalists and evangelists William Booth, Jonathan Edwards and Charles Wesley. The days for revival have come and are here. The days for us to come out of our hiding has come to an end. Do not despise yourself considering unbiblical principles of maturity and status when you are called upon to take up action for the change of this world. Time’s up. We need to wake up. God bless you.

The 777 event will be at the Makerere University sports ground beginning from the evening of Friday 6th at 5pm and will go on till Saturday the 7th with mega worship and prayer with Ps.
