Praise the Lord!
I'm Bishop H. Frank Hemby Sr., President, founder and CEO
of the CTBOCD Inc.
I received Jesus Christ as my Lord
and personal Savior in 1989. After being sanctified by the
Word of God, I received the Holy Ghost. I began to realize
through the Holy Spirit that I needed something else. That
something else was the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Twelve
(12) months later I received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit;
speaking in tongues. (It's another story altogether how I
received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit).
Shortly after receiving that anointed
gift, I realized that the purpose of the baptism does not
only give you more power but to give one purpose, vision and
direction.
Mathew 6:33
principle teaches
us to seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness
and all these things shall be added unto you.
II Timothy 3:10
"But thou
hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, (manner meaning
that which something is done or takes place) purpose, faith,
long suffering, charity and patience."
I began to fervently fast and pray,
seeking God. I turned my face to the wall and prayed, as Hezekiah
did in 2 King 20 chapter. I believed I was born for a reason
and that reason was the key to my purpose. I knew my life
wasn't fulfilled and God being the Creator of all things had
the answer to my destiny.
After about three (3) months of fasting
and praying, seeking God's face for purpose and direction;
with much meditation through His divine Spirit, God revealed
to me the beginning of what was to be my personal purpose
in relationship to the Kingdom of God.
The Bible said, "You shall know
the truth and the truth shall make you free". The Bible
also says in Luke 11:52 (NKJV) "Woe to you experts in
religion! For you hide the truth from the people. You won't
accept it for yourselves, and you prevent others from having
a chance to believe it."
I'm now aware that God is the God of
purpose. All my life no one fully explained to me that we
were all born for a special purpose and that God is the only
one in the world that know the true purpose of our being here.
Also if we don't find our true purpose someone else will give
us one(some secular job).
The Holy Spirit has shown me something
so profound, I'm truthfully sold out to God and I'm happy
about my purpose, vision and goals.
God didn't just give me an idea. Through
the Spirit of God, He deposited with me many designs and logos
for every member in every part of the body of Christ. Also
He gave me songs too. It's so awesome! I'm beginning to realize
that it is like the Lord.
The Holy Spirit also revealed to me
deep revelations for today's world. CTBOCD inc. is fully committed
in the up building of the Kingdom of God. God's vision for
my life has kept me working very hard for over a decade; following
instructions, listening to the Holy Spirit as He guided me,
protecting me, comforting me when I didn't even know when,
where, who or what was going on. All I know is when God told
me to do something...I did it...As a result God blessed me.
I thank God for Jesus! I realize too, that this is just the
beginning. What God has led me to do with the CTBOCD Inc.
was to lay a foundation based upon Biblical principles...
with faith and trust in the Lord.
