The Mystery Of The Rejected Stones
Nothing gives an edge to triumph over one;s counterpart as being neglected ,relegated, rejected and overlooked by one;s enemy or friends. It places the mililtant instrument on an advantageous side. The neglected or rejected as being used in this contex, are most valued instrument .they last longer than the accepted.
They are better instument of springing surprises to the enemy . The enemy will never take them serious until they have disgrace, dethrone and possibly ,eliminate the enemy.this explains why GOD specializes in using them –the rejected stones.
David was a rejected stone .he therefore ,enjoyed unusual coverage of heaven and in ordinate negligence by the greatest enemy in the land –chief goliath .goliath ,who could have accorded normal ,professional militant attention to his counterpacts,did not see any reason to prepare against david ;hence his sudden dethronement and death .
Joshua , as a professional soldier , was instructed not to use the most accepted object of war .he used the rejected’ tool (the musical instruments) in waging the war against their enemy in Jericho . The instruments (rejected stones) were quite childish and unbelievable that the enemy took them for fun makers; hence their unprecedented penetration and occupation of the enemy’s territory.
Gideon thought of waging the Lords battle with lots of majority and professionals but God stopped Him ;insisting on few who are prepared and ready to sacrifice their lives for the vision ‘He proved to them that success does not rely on majority nor professionalism and mental boldness ;but God enthroning those whom He wishes. Our Lord Jesus Christ,was a rejected stone .
He was much neglected and rejected than many of his fellows.Most of his people did not believe in Him. He was rejected, despised ,tortured and crucified until God rose Him up on the third day ;giving him a name greater than any other name. Today, the more attempt a generation gives to terminating the name and influence of Jesus ,the more it spreads like wild fire. Infact,Christ had to foretell His death [crucification matter]to His disciples in order to establish two crucial points:
1.The need to stick , steadfastly ,to God in PRAYER when the revealed signals to a particular vision is being actualized ,one after the other.
2.The need to disabuse the minds of His Disciples ,on time ,from thinking that He was merely disgraced and silenced by Devil .there was need to establish a foundation upon which further revelation ,after His death ,is to be built.
THE FACT Although most times rejected stones have nothing comparable with other available STONES in terms of QUALITY , TEXTURE and COLOUR ,their relevance becomes in evitable when the Architect / Chief Engineer decided to make them the Chief CORNERSTONE. That changes the matter .Every other stones ,within the building ,has to take bearing from the rejected stone,the cornerstone ,if it ever intend to survive.
That’s what God is saying .He is choosing the foolish things of the world in order to shame the wise;He is upholding deliberately ,the weak and despised to bring to naught the much celebrated creature of His creature.
He is laying in zion for a foundation a stone ,a tested stone ,a precious cornerstone of sure foundation ;He who believes [trusts in , relies on , and adheres to that stone and what the stone is doing ] will not be ashamed or give way or hasten away [in sudden panic] Isaiah 28 : 16[Amplified version]
FOOD FOR THOUGHT -The most neglected are the most powerful -The foolish tools are the most strategic tools -Every aggressive combatant is entitled to enough confronters -Much action, few words are the key of the most neglected .
THE UNDERSTANDING THAT COMMANDS OUTSTANDING [Strictly For The Record] It is necessary to start emphasizing that drama evangelism, as being practiced in recent time ,is quite different from what has been obtainable in the recent past. It is a new concept of evangelism ; a new concept of dramatic presentation .Certainly the concept can only be appreciated by those who really participated in various drama evangelism[gospel troupe and drama groups] in secondary schools and higher institutions of higher learning between early 70s and early 90s .
Although it is an indisputable fact that most men and women who participated in the aforementioned, are no more in drama evangelism diverting to more acceptable and respectable offices like the pastorate ,bible studies ,ushering , business circle and social ,including anti –scriptural , programme moderating –contributed immensely ,through their zeal and readiness to be busy for the Lord ,to the development of this new concept of drama evangelism .
The point we want to strike here is that drama evangelism ,as of today is taking a new form- a more serious platform of intensive spiritual explosion through the use of most instruments quite associated with the entertainment industry.Thus , all those who participated in Christian drama in 1960s ,Nursery /Primary schools ,Christmas times ,will discover that drama evangelism today is been developed on an entirely different platform and dimension form what it previously obtained .
Evangelical drama ,as of today ,is being built on two cardinal perspectives : [a]Evangelical drama as a ministerial tool [divine instrument of communicating God’s WORD to people . [b]Evangelical drama as unique arm of artistic world . Simply put , evangelical drama is falling into two crucial aspect of the [Nigeria] society
:[RELIGION] and ENTERTAINMENT].
1.RELIGION : Take it or not , as far as the society is concerned, evangelical drama is part and parcel of Religion since it is centered on the message of the cross.
2.ENTERTAINMENT [industry] :all forms of drama [whether academic ,social , classic , anticlassic , or philosophical ] is considered an inevitable member of the entertainment arena. Thus , evangelical drama [film] is simply a unique species of the entertainment arena / industry . It is this dual nature of drama evangelism that has discouraged , confused and establish some ministers and ministries . Thus , every drama minister is expected to function as a minister of God and artiste through spiritual and artistic preparation .
Although other forms of artistic performance ,of whose foundation and pattern have been established in ages long , seem to be dominating ,soon – like Moses introduced the man who ushered the Israelites into the promised land [Joshua] john the Baptist introduced the Saviour of the world [Christ ] ; Haman introduced Esther ,and the industrial revolution ushered in the so – called globalisation phenomenon – they will begin ,consciously and unconsciously ,to introduce and usher in the leading king , a unique specie ,of the entertainment industry [the world of drama evangelism] .
The signals are not far – fetched .As already indicated in the international Movie chart ,a compilation of Global Entertainment Network, Nigeria is fast growing to becoming the highest producers [makers] of movies [films] in the world . The same Nigeria ,since 1996 , has been assembling ,in silent and grooming pattern ,some set of people to enthrone evangelical drama and films in the world .
You better watch it ! The international Media Agency;s report has shown that ,after the communication industry , the movie [film] industry is the second most fast – growing , money yielding and job creating industry in the world. But for space we could have taken a look , one after the other ,at the aforementioned countries . nevertheless ,for effective occupation of our own Jerusalem [Nigeria] and the need to understand the trend of event surrounding this sector we are destined to lead ,one cannot hesitate to make a cursory glance at some crucial aspects of the report .
From the report, it obvious that:
1.Nigeria has really beaten world record [Holly wood] in quantity production – a clear testimony of over – zealousness , diligence and competitive spirit. 2.While most world leading motion pictures are shot on celluloid [the most expensive method] Nigeria is inevitably creating waves through mere video- tape recording .This accorded to her , cost efficiency in production as well as easy transformation into the world of ‘digital’the most current and treasured method of film packaging .With this in view, most world celebrated leaders in movie industry are currently seeing Nigeria as a threat .
3.Despite the fact that there is low support of government and governmental agencies in film packaging ,Nigerians are not really spending much in tax and other government related matters.
4.The percentage of film export from Nigeria is inevitably low –showing that most Nigerians films being viewed abroad ,are either products of piracy or secret initiative of producers through outlet network.
5.A number of participants [rocognised members of the movie industry] in Nigeria will soon outmatch the famous Chinese actors .Yet ,the evangelical aspect is still vacant.

PROPHETIC ROLE of DRAMA EVANGELISM IN ENTERTAINMENT ARENA
The prophetic role of drama evangelism in the entertainment arena , industry is that of leadership ,impartation and spiritual awakening .The role is anchored on the prophetic declaration of the mountain of the Lord’s house becoming the greatest of the mountains ; the rejected stone becoming the corner stone and the glory of the latter surpassing the former .Although other forms of artistic performance ,of whose foundation and pattern have been established in ages long , seem to be dominating ,soon – like Moses introduced the man who ushered the Israelites into the promised land [Joshua] john the Baptist introduced the Saviour of the world [Christ ] ; Haman introduced Esther ,and the industrial revolution ushered in the so – called globalisation phenomenon – they will begin ,consciously and unconsciously ,to introduce and usher in the leading king , a unique specie ,of the entertainment industry [the world of drama evangelism] .
