NB88 IFC FOUNDER’S MESSAGE
Greetings in the matchless name of Jesus Christ; and peace unto each of you. Today as I find myself reflecting on 75 years of life & service, remembering the highs and lows of both life and ministry I am reminded that I walk in perfect health, have lived an exceptional life and have trusted God almighty every step of the way through both challenging times and good times– with more good times than challenging and looking forward to seeing more blessings for myself and each of you in the land of the living.
I am also reminded that the great secret to God and long life is to pray for spiritual strength in all things as in Ephesians 3:14 through 21 which read:
“14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of His glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”
I implore both young and old to remember to place yourselves under the Headship of God Almighty through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ; and you will find that God preserves, and you will never ever be too young or old to be used by God.
At the age of 9, I was reading the Bible to my father and I came across the mistreatment of lepers (now called Hansen’s disease) and it was out of a concern for them that a humanitarian was born in me. At that time I resolved in my heart I would “give my life to Jesus” and be an instrument offering what I would obtain for Him and to humanitarian purposes. At the age of 16 that commitment would be driven home when I saw the body of Emmitt Till in the casket–I made a covenant with God that whenever He chose to bless me, I would bless “the community that came together” to assist Mamie Till, his mother, to recover his broken body from a horrific act of racism, which caused a shift in our nation within my lifetime.
I am a military Veteran having served my country faithfully and have spent over forty years being a successful business woman giving philanthropically and in my later years served in missions and started a Church.
In April of 2010 at the age of 70, after having been faithfully doing the work of Ecclessial Ministry, I was consecrated after an exhaustive examination by a council of Clergy to the Office of Apostle of NB88 IFC officially formed in November of 2008. My Consecrating Apostle was Jefferson Netto of Jethro International Ministries, an Integrated Auxiliary of Full Revival Church. In that same year on the 24th of December 2010, I finally completed my Doctorate under the tutelage of Archbishop Langston of Tabernacle Bible College and Seminary.
I only give this synopsis of my life’s work to allow you to see me not as an apostle but as a servant of God with a defined driven divine purpose; which is: a Humanitarian and Christian and to see people (not only Christians, but all people) delivered from any form of oppression, poverty, seeking spiritual reform and establishing an understanding of the powers that conspire against us by teaching in a spiritual, constitutional and humanitarian framework for all indigenous people for a freedom which can only be achieved in Christ.
Again, it is with the above reflection in mind that I implore each of you to continue that which you so faithfully received of God and place yourselves under His Headship. He will renew you, and restore the years the cankerworm has eaten, and bring new blessings and a season of new Beginnings in Christ Jesus. Amen!
In His Service and Yours,
Apostle Dr. Charlie Hardaway-Weathersby
