The term “Brush with Greatness” is an expression meaning when a person has a once in a life time encounter with a celebrity or sports personality. I have had a few brushes with greatness in my day. One of the most memorable encounters was the stare down with former Heavyweight Champ Mike Tyson. He didn’t stand a chance, LOL.
My personal brushes with greatness were all memorable, but not life changing except for one. I was a new Christian then desiring to grow and learn more from the Father, seeking for a more personal experience. I prayed, read my Bible and listened to worship CD’s in the car and even in my sleep, all seeking after the Holy Spirit. Weeks past, but my faith in God was consistent. On my way to work is where I experienced the ultimate “Bush of Greatness”.
My personal testimony became a life lesson in faith and seeking after the things of the Kingdom. It is said that we should, set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. - Colossians 3:2. Doing this along with prayer and faith, anything is possible. Faith is described as Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. - Hebrews 11:1
I would like to share another story about a woman who had an unforgettable brush with greatness:
She was a woman who was sick, with a blood disease, but because of her faith she was healed. In Mathew 9:20 the verse speaks of a woman who just believed that if she should just touch the garment of Christ it would heal her. This “Brush with Greatness” was a supernatural experience that transformed the life of a believer. For she said within herself, if I may but touch his garment, I shall be made whole. -Matthew 9:21
If you haven’t experience your “Brush with Greatness”, now is the time. Pray this prayer with me:
********************************Alter Call**************************
Romans: 10:9-10 Who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
If you do not know Jesus as your personal Savior please pray this prayer with me. God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for you up until now. I have been living for myself and this is wrong. I need you Lord in my life. I acknowledge the complete work of your Son Jesus Christ in giving his life for me on the cross at Calvary. Come into my life Jesus and reside in my heart! I claim you as my Lord, and Savior from this day forward. I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow you, forever! This I ask in your precious name Jesus. Amen.

Apostle Marquis L. Yearwood currently lives in East Elmhurst, New York. He is the father of two sons biologically and a spiritual father to many sons and daughters.
Apostle Yearwood was called to preach at the age of 14, ordained as a minister at 17 and then consecrated to be an Elder in the Lord's Church at the age of 25. Shortly thereafter, Apostle was consecrated to the office of Pastor over The Rehoboth Church in Brooklyn, New York. While ministering at the Rehoboth Church, he was elevated to the office of Overseer. With a vision for sowing into others, Apostle seeded The Rehoboth Church into the life of a Pastor who was discouraged in his Vision and Ministry.
With the Lord’s direction, Apostle launched out and started The House Of Obed-Edom Family Worship Center. He then transitioned The House of Obed-Edom Family Worship Center into an outreach ministry. This ministry brings revivals to weary churches and crusade meetings to troubled and spiritually undeveloped areas across this nation. From this outreach ministry, The Ecclesiastical Fellowship of Churches was birthed. As The Establishmentarian of The Ecclesiastical Fellowship of Churches, Apostle leads a group of churches that have rallied together for the sole purpose of ministry development and Kingdom Building.
At the age of 29, the Lord sent him to be the Pastor of St. Paul Baptist Church in South Ozone Park, New York, where he is implementing a Kingdom Plan into a tradition setting for Apostolic Advancement.
On Saturday, March 29, 2011, he was consecrated to the sacred office of Bishop and affirmed as an Apostle in The Lord’s Church during the general assembly of The Perfecting Saints International Fellowship Inc.’s National Convocation in Columbia, South Carolina.
Apostle Yearwood is known amongst other pastors and preachers of the Gospel to be a “Prepared Preacher,” always ready and capable of standing before God’s people with a rhema and prophetic word for that time and hour. Preaching and teaching God’s word is paramount, yet Apostle has other goals concerning ministry and kingdom building. Birthing pastors and preachers, building up God’s people, and more importantly - leading the multitudes into the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the driving force behind his God-given vision.
With an earnest desire to help Pastors and undergird Ministries by investing into men and women of God, Apostle Yearwood believes in imparting spiritual deposits that will enable them to pass the tests of the enemy and endure their transitional season.
Ministry is the heartbeat of Apostle Marquis L. Yearwood – Preaching is in his voice – Vision resides in his mind, and The Prophetic rings in his ears.

DJ Worship More:
Wow! You’re a group from my hometown Washington, D.C. If I had known that my family in D.C. would be singing the Gospel like this I would have never left! I love the vibe, and enjoyed the group introduction written on the home page of your website.
I had to chuckle at the statement you made minister Jakolby Washington about your upbringing when you stated that you, “grew up as a drug kid, you were drug to church…” You know I was also a drug kid, I was drug to my home church, The Garden of Prayer in Southeast Washington, D.C., I too am proud to say look at what it made us!

Question DJ Worship More:
Your ministry team released the incredible album entitled, “Freedom to Worship”. The lovely song Shower Your Rain on Me, is just simply awesome. What can the listeners expect to hear when they pick up a Judah LYFE album?
Answer Judah LYFE Ministries:
I am so excited about this album. Listeners can expect to hear a vast array of music that came straight from my heart. We’ve got a little of everything. From Sunday morning churchy cuts to heartfelt worship that transcends denominational walls and leads the listener straight to the heart of God. I really believe this project is going to bless the masses.
Question DJ Worship More:
Where did the lyrics of Shower Your Rain derive from? How were you moved to write such an inspirational song?
Answer Judah LYFE Ministries:
I can remember I was in the studio with my MD Vaughn Dashiell and we were in between songs. He was just playing with chords on the keyboard and he hit this one chord and it just did something to me man. So about an hour later I had written the words to Shower Your Rain. Honestly man, it has become the sentiment of my heart. I want to live a life fully submerged in the rain of His Presence. And so to know that this song has blessed so many people man, is truly a blessing. We go minister at places and people request that we sing Shower Your Rain…it just lets me know that people long for that kind of experience where they can honestly feel the rain of his presence.
