Calvary Outreach Ministries: Vision For The Year 2018
Calvary greetings in Christ Jesus' Name.
1. INTRODUCTION
Brethren, I bring good tidings for yet another season in the Lord’s calendar of our Mission Calvary Outreach Ministries International. The good tidings should bring true reflections in our lives and the Mission.
Finally we have scored our fifth anniversary as a Church and all in all we can only testify of God’s grace, goodness and love upon us. Calvary Outreach Ministries International is one of the fastest growing churches since its registration globally. One no can take the merit but only God should be given the praise and the glory. It should be very much noted that the church is growing under the grace and God’s grace has brought us this far.
The Holy Spirit has unified us together and has always gone ahead of us in outreach and church planting and great is His faithfulness.
Silence in God’s presence has birthed this vision for the year 2018. And it should be embraced by all leaders and members of our Mission Centres who faithfully through the leadership of the Holy Spirit subscribe to our biblical fundamental beliefs and practises as a Mission.
Every prophetic vision is for an appointed time. The Lord God has set days and seasons and herewith, I declare the following to be the VISION for this appointed time and season of the year 2018. It’s clearly and plainly written down that he or she may run with it who is reading it and that is you.
2. THEME FOR YEAR 2018
During the time of our ministers retreat, the Lord visited us at the mid of the night whilst we were praying in our tents respectively which we pitched outside in the dark. Each one of us in our respective tents had a phenomenal encounter which I cannot fully express here.
Then the Word of the Lord came to me saying, “I am the Lord your God sending a mighty wave that will stir and raise the sea waters which will hit the seashores for a great harvest. The fish and living creatures from the sea will be gathered on the seashores for the church.
This is the wave sending revival on the Mission Centres and gathering for formation of other centres. People will gather and gather until they remain with no more room to hold the gathering I am sending upon them and My Church.” Amen.
In our tent we had an illumination light for over an hour and we just busted into tongues and started thanking God for the great harvest. And I continued to say great harvest, great harvest, and great harvest several times.
Brethren, with this understanding under the direction of the Holy Spirit, the Lord is saying that:
The year of the Lord 2018, it is “THE YEAR OF GREAT HARVEST.”
Hence, under this guidance we are standing by the Scripture from the Book of Luke chapter 5 and verse 6, which reads; “And when they have done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking” (NKJV).
The theme for the previous year 2017, “The Year of Fruitfulness and Multiplication”
in accordance with the Holy Scripture from, Leviticus 26:9, “For I will look on you favourably and make you fruitful, multiply you and confirm My covenant with you” (NKJV), cannot pass without giving all the glory to God Almighty for His faithfulness and unchanging love towards His people according to His promises. I believe, we all have testimonies to share with others unless otherwise. May God be praised forever and ever – HALELLUJAH. ALL THE GLORY BE TO HIS NAME.
I prophetically decree and declare for this year 2018:
• Your harvest is greater than ever before
• The abundance is readily available for your gathering
• You are gathering much that your territory can not contend any more
• Your place is too small for the gathering God has released in this season
• There will be unusual gathering to the extent of inviting others
• You are sharing the gathering with your neighbours
• The Mission Centres will have overspills from this much gathering
Our immutable and faithful Lord will fulfil this vision for 2018 according to the theme given to us by His Spirit as He has always made the past visions coming to pass as to His direction.
Brethren, we are in the ”season of Great Harvest” and the Lord God is bringing it to pass in our lives and in His church, Calvary Outreach Ministries International in confirming His covenant that we are His sons and daughters.

Calvary Outreach Ministries: Vision For The Year 2015
Calvary greetings in Christ Jesus' Name.
This marks the third annual vision to be shared with the Mission membership and the public at large. Every prophetic vision is for an appointed time. The Lord God has set days and seasons and herewith I declare the following to be the VISION for this appoint time and season of 2015. It is written down clearly and plainly that he/she may run with it who is reading it.
THEME FOR YEAR 2015
The year of the Lord 2015, we are declaring it as the year of "WALKING INTO MY DISPENSATION OF GRACE."
This is the fifteenth (15) year in the millennium and the numeral numbers five (5) and ten (10) in Scripture have a very special meaning thus as follows:
• 5 - Signifies God's grace and power.
• 10 - Signifies perfection of power, law, judgment, understanding and order.
The number 15 (fifteen) in the Bible means "rest or opening a door to enable you enter into your rest season." The fifteenth day of the first Hebrew month (Abib) is the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread (Lev 23:6-11), a day of rest for the children of Israel. The fifteenth day of the 7th Hebrew month (Ethanim) begins the Feast of Tabernacles (Lev 23:34) which is also the day of rest or coming into the presence of God.
There were fifteen (15) bars in all, holding on the foundation of the Tabernacle and they were placed five (5) on each side; north, south and west. This speaks of the "grace and power" of our God.
The Lord Christ Jesus, when He ascended gave five (5) ministry gifts to the Church for the purpose of;
(a) Perfecting (bringing to maturity) the Saints.
(b) For the work of the ministry
(c) The edifying of the Body
(d) Till we come to the unity of the faith and knowledge of the Son of God
(e) To the perfection of man - the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-13).
We are coming from the year 2014 of "Being Established" into the year 2015 of "Walking into my dispensation [permitted] of grace."
The Spirit of the Lord Has made us to stand on the following Scriptures in regard to the declaration of the theme for the year 2015:
Psalm 84:11 "For the Lord God is a sun and shield. The Lord will give grace and glory no good thing will He withhold from those who walk upright" (NKJV).
Luke 1:37 "For with God nothing will be impossible" (NKJV).
I prophesy to those who are walking uprightly in the permitted year of grace 2015, that God's grace and glory shall overshadow you through the anointing of the Holy Spirit and;
• Great and new doors of success and prosperity are opening in your life.
• That which has been impossible shall be possible.
• Your territory is being extended.
• All that which has been stolen and lost shall be recovered.
• That you shall remain ticked for God's favour.
Brethren, I am seeing the Mission growing at a rapid speedy this year! God is restoring and reviving those who had faint hearts in the year 2014.

CONCLUSION
The Mission is encouraged to walk in uprightness in order for the vision to be fulfilled. Further, wise leaders understand that a vision must be received with patience (wait for it), has an appointed time and is often delayed (it tarries) but its fulfilment will be certain.
May the gracious Lord God who makes all things possible to those who believe in Him and walk in uprightness shower you with His blessings and favour in His year 2015 as together we reach the nations.
Amen.
Bishop Allan Kalepa
