Gospel Moments In Black History


 








Today we are honored to spotlight Apostle Jimmie Ellis III. A true pioneer in the Kingdom of God and a testimony that makes the Black Church very proud.

Dr. Jimmie A. Ellis, Ill the dynamic Senior Pastor of Victory Christian Center, is both recognized and respected for his standard of excellence in ministry. He is a highly sought after speaker who is anointed in the areas of teaching, leadership, mentoring and fatherhood.
Dr. Ellis possesses an extraordinary revelation of the Word of God. His dynamic yet practical teaching style has led many to give their lives to Jesus Christ. His life-changing teachings on holy living, home and marriage, purpose and financial freedom are empowering generations.

Raised in the Mount Olive Apostolic Church, under the pastorship of Dr, John Myers, Dr. Ellis accepted Jesus at the age of nine. By age twelve, Dr. Ellis began teaching Bible study. In 1983, he was released to pastor. He then founded the Bible Enlightenment Christian Center with just 7 members. Today that humble beginning is known as Victory Christian Center, a thriving ministry located in the heart of Southwest Philadelphia a membership of over 2,000. Today, under the covering of Bishop Don Meares of Evangel Temple in Upper Marlboro, MD, Dr. Ellis serves on the Advisory Board of the International Congress of Local Churches (ICLC).

Having a heart for leaders, Dr. Ellis formulated the Victory Fellowship of Local Churches to provide pastors with mentoring, building church leadership and forming a network of covenant relationships with like-minded men and women of God. His annual leadership conferences and workshops are highly demanded. He has also ordained and fathered several men and women into their own ministries.

In 1999, Dr. Ellis found The Conquerors Community Development
Corporation (CCDC), a mission designed to elevate the quality of life for the Southwest Philadelphia community through economic development, child development, technological awareness, spiritual/cultural programs and health initiatives. Dr. Ellis' vision is to further institute employment services, daycare services, housing and community revitalization programs, health-related projects and life skills to empower the community.

In March 2004, Dr. Ellis received his honorary Doctorate of Divinity Degree from Saint Thomas Christian College in Jacksonville, Florida. Dr. Ellis' contributions have been applauded throughout the city by the media, governing officials and with numerous awards. He is an author of many books, his latest bestseller, "My Angel, My Ally".

I am proud to add that I am a daughter of Apostle Ellis and his encouragement, teaching, wisdom has provided me a strong wall to lean on. He has dedicated his entire young and adult life to the call of God, he has not waivered.

UN-DO!

S.E.E.D. For Today: Scripture: "Undo The Heavy Burdens" ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Example: There was a great deal of injustice in the land and with the rich exploiting the poor and the rulers using their authority only to make themselves richer. It was a conflict between truth and lies, just like in our land today. The people of God were no different in operating under the same system as this. But God called them out and wanted them to understand that their fasting was in vain if they did not undo the heavy burden they placed on others while still outwardly devoting themselves to religion or as they thought to God. Exercise: Let's invite the Holy Spirit to solve problems and aid us in lifting loads and overcome barriers that keep us and our loved ones from walking joyfully in the Lord. In self-denying love and care for others, let's undo any heavy burden or untie any yoke that we may have placed upon friends, family, associates or even employees. Devotion: Lord toda
