Day 1 Message at the ongoing Eleventh Hour Gospel Crusaders by Bishop Chris Elimiaga, the Presiding Bishop of Heaven Embassy Church Int’l
Summary of the Message by Rev. Emiliaga
The session opened with heartfelt thanksgiving, deep appreciation, and prophetic prayers over the congregation and ministers. With a short introductory charge, the preacher invited the Holy Spirit to take absolute control.
The foundational scripture was Joel 2:25 — “I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten.” The message centered on Restoration, God’s divine intention to reverse loss, pain, and wasted seasons.
The preacher unveiled “The Mysteries of the Earth,” teaching how humanity’s relationship with the earth influences prosperity, peace, and productivity. From Genesis 1:26, he highlighted God’s mandate of dominion, and through Genesis 2:7, explained that because man was formed from the dust, he has authority to speak to the earth.
However, after the fall in Genesis 3:17, “the ground is cursed for thy sake,” marking the beginning of the earth resisting man. Bishop Elimiaga identified three operations of the earth against a person:
- The Earth Can Curse a Man
Using Cain’s story in Genesis 4:11–12, he explained how the earth can make a person unproductive — causing stagnation, fruitless efforts, and wandering without results. - The Earth Can Place Judgment on a Man
From Jeremiah 22:29–30, he taught that the earth can write a person “childless” or unprosperous, extending negative consequences to generations. - The Earth Can Rise Up and Fight a Man
Referencing Job 20:27–28, he showed how the earth can cause a person’s increase to disappear, making progress collapse suddenly.
The preacher then declared the good news: Jesus cancels all these operations. When Jesus’ blood touched the ground at Calvary, the curses, judgments, and resistance tied to the earth were broken.
From Revelation 12:15–16, he emphasized that the earth does not only fight against—it can fight for a believer. “The earth helped the woman…” For those aligned with Christ, the earth becomes a helper, supporter, protector, and producer.
The message ended with two altar calls:
- Salvation, because without Jesus the earth will not respond positively.
- Deliverance and restoration, for those battling stagnation, sickness, delay, or unfulfilled expectations — declaring healing, breakthrough, and divine restoration.
