Bethel Literary Initiative



(NB: We have secured an Internet domain for the Bethel Literary Initiative and a dedicated website is under construction. Until the site is ready to be launched, the Initiative will be hosted on this page.)
  
It has been some 10 years since we were inspired with the vision of the Bethel Literary Initiative (BETHLIN). We have patiently carried and nurtured it. Finally, we thought it was time to get up and run with it! Our steps are still feeble, but we are stepping out all the same. The mission is: To discover, network and nurture the development of gifted Christian writers, and create a first-rate and wholesomely rewarding Christian writing and publishing landscape in Nigeria and all Africa. 

 The facets of the initiative are as follows: 
  • Bethel Writing Challenge (periodic writing contests)
  • Bethel Digest (a magazine)
  • Bethel Writers Network
  • Bethel Writing Course
  • Bethel Editorial and Literary Service
  • Bethel Publishers
  • Bethel Reading Campaign
It is our expectation that the BETHEL LITERARY INITIATIVE would eventually metamorphose into the BETHEL LITERARY INSTITUTE (BETHLIN).
It would be our pleasure to share the detailed BETHLIN proposal with potential sponsors and partners. For further information, please contact us through davidolawoyin@gmail.com or kingdomherald@live.com .

KINGS AND PRIESTS – THE POWERBROKERS OF THE COMING KINGDOM

Image
During the Revelation on Patmos, the apostle John was given the invitation, “Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.” He went on to write, “And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne ... And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting... and they had on their heads crowns of gold... And in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts ... And the first beast was like a lion , and the second beast like a calf , and the third beast had a face as a man , and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle . And they [elders and beasts] sung a new song, saying... For thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation ; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests : and we shall reign on the earth ” (see Revelation 4:1-5:10). This heavenly scene that

SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SOMETHING NEW (2)

(NB: This is in continuation of a personal testimony begun last week, prompted by the Facebook page I recently put up . We will pick it up right where I stopped. To read the first part of the article, click here .) Since my early years, there had been the indication of this Christian writing ministry I have been called to. Not only were my writing and expository gifts noted and commended by my teachers, but the first explicit signal of where I was headed for might have been given during my second year in the university, when I wrote and posted copies of a Christian article on notice boards on campus. Then it got to where I formed the habit of writing messages on lecture room boards, especially at night, to welcome the students in the morning! So consistent and secretive were these night ‘missions’ that my closest friend, who was in a different faculty, was surprised when I eventually revealed myself as the culprit. I continued my writing and free distribution of articles after gradua

LANGUAGE NATIONS – THE 6,000 PROVINCES OF THE KINGDOM

Image
Last week , I proposed a twofold significance of the twenty-four Elders of the heavenly pattern of the Armies of Heaven , comprising Christ and His redeemed saints, that will establish and rule over the promised kingdom . First was their representation of the twenty-four-man “Supreme Governing Council,” under Christ, of the entire kingdom. And second was their representation of the twenty-four-man “Provincial Governing Council” of each of the constituting provinces, or nations, of the global kingdom. This latter perspective of the Elders raised the question of the full number of those represented in them, and by implication the full number of the nations that will constitute the kingdom. This article will attempt to answer that question by tracing the promise of the kingdom back to the promise God made to “Father Abraham.” God said to Abraham, “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all familie
