Welcome
to IIPLE !
(This is the Place where God is
moulding the end time Prophets)
When you sign up for IIPLE training,
you take an important spiritual step. You are not enrolling
in a program of a denomination or organization. You are
enrolling in a “school of the spirit.” It is
the training of your spirit by the Holy Spirit and that
schooling never ends.
The purpose of IIPLE training is
not just to provide a mountain top spiritual experience
and then send you back into the valley of life to lose it.
The true test of your training will be the ability to take
what you learn in IIPLE back into the valley of everyday
life and ministry and use it. The success of your experience
also rests in your willingness to pass on to others what
you learn.
And the things that thou hast heard
of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful
men, who shall be able to teach others also. (II Timothy
2:2)
Where this spiritual call to the
demonstration of the power of God and the principles of
spiritual harvest will take you, only God knows, but you
can be assured that you do not labor alone. You have joined
a great army of laborers, dating back to the disciples of
Jesus, who have heard the call and responded. You are part
of a growing network of international prophets and harvesters!
Never settle for less than the final
objective. Keep sowing and reaping, in seed time and harvest
time, until every people group, every tribe, and every nation
is reached with the Gospel.

for Prophetic Leadership & Evangelism
INTRODUCTION TO IIPLE
Beloved,
The ministry of Grace Bible Institute
and Seminary has existed for the past ten years giving effective
wholistic ministerial training in a spiritual environment.
We have been in the threshold of ministerial training in
the State and have become acquainted with the needs and
aspirations of our people. It is on this note that we are
happy to announce to you that we are partnering with qualified
bodies and individuals in Nigeria and USA to start an International
Institute for Prophetic Leadership and Evangelism (IIPLE)
for the practical training of harvesters and leaders for
the whiten harvest of the world.
History, Purpose, and Development
of the School
IIPLE takes its root from the calling
and the vision of the Lord to the Founding President, Prophet
Ezekiel Edumoh. In March of 2005, the President was fully
convinced that God was calling him into the office of the
Prophet through some of the ways God was leading his life.
The Lord opened his eyes to see that the name “EZEKIEL”
that was given to his father before he was born was not
a coincidence, but a a planned purpose according to his
calling. He was convinced to reverse to the name Ezekiel
from Etim. In April, the Lord directed him to declare a
20 day fasting for the church, Grace Missionary Chapel International
where he is the Senior Pastor. During the period of the
fast, the Lord spoke to him that he should start the Institute
for training Prophets in prophetic leadership and Evangelism.
The Lord gave him access to books by world renowned Prophets
such as Dr. Bill Hamon and Jim W. Goll.
When the church completed the 20
day fasting and prayer, the Lord told him to continue his
journey until the 40th day. During this period the Lord
led him to some great Prophets who impacted his life and
confirmed what God has called him to do. Some of the men
and ministries that have affected his life are:
1. Harvestime International
Network, Colorado Springs, Colorado U.S.A.
2. Christian International,
Founded by Dr. Bill Hamon, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, U.S.A.
3. The Prophetic Movement
of the Global Ministry Resource Network by Apostle Les D.
Crause, U.S.A.
4. IIPLE of GBIS is
affiliated to the Victory International Institutes of Tulsa,
Oklahoma, U.S.A.
5. Fresh Fire Ministries,
U.S.A by Todd Bentley
It is not the desire of the IIPLE
to create a denominational structure but rather a network
working between denominations, churches, organizations,
and nations to raise up laborers for worldwide spiritual
harvest. It is to this purpose that IIPLE is dedicated,
to recruit, train, motivate, and mobilize a network of international
harvesters.
IIPLE was conceived by the Holy Spirit
in answer to a cry from the harvest fields of the world
for materials geared for training the average layman. The
Institute is birthing a vision designed to move laymen from
vision to reality. The curriculum takes students beyond
teaching to training where participation is required. The
participation to which students are challenged is that of
spiritual preparation and reproduction. Jesus final command
was to reproduce spiritually (Matthew 23:19-20).
IIPLE is not as inclusive as a traditional
Bible Institute because it eliminates materials not directly
related to spiritual growth and productivity. We are not
in competition with the traditional Bible Institute structure
but our training is for men and women who are ready to develop
their prophetic and evangelistic ministry but do not have
opportunities, educationally and/or financially, for such
training. Our Grace Bible Institute & Seminary, GBIS
still gives traditional Bible College and Seminary education
for those who are interested.
IIPLE equips students with creative
Bible study skills to enable continued study of Scriptures
following basic course training. But the primary focus of
Institute training is teaching what Jesus taught to move
men from observation to demonstration of the power of God.
Mission
Statement of the School
The vision and purpose of IIPLE
is to equip the saints for ministry through timely, cost
effective training. We desire to raise up a mighty army
of men and women who are prepared to spread the Gospel of
Jesus Christ through vision and spiritual preparation of
the heart, and training in the Word of God, its principles
and methods.
The Overall Picture of the
School
Church-Based
Ministry Training
This church-based institute with
spirit-filled staff offers aggressive ministry training
for thorough equipping of Christian leadership. We emphasize
balanced doctrine, servanthood, leadership, character development
and developing a biblical global perspective.
IIPLE is a place to train men and
women called to full-time ministry and those interested
in becoming better equipped to serve their local church.
We offer academic excellence and
methods that will train you to maximize your leadership
skills and attitude to reach your God-given potential.
Administration
The Administration of IIPLE will
have an orientation meeting for all new students. Your orientation
will provide needed and beneficial information about many
of the procedures, services and opportunities in your Bible
Institute.
Faculty
and Staff
Since our program is very compact
and practical, we have faculty and staff dedicated to the
IIPLE programs only. The faculty are also Pastors, but are
not expected to be teaching in any other Bible College in
order to give them time to attend to all our curricular
and extra curricular activities. Our faculty are not just
Lecturers, but Teachers. They go along participating in
the teaching-learning process.
Academic
Practices and Procedures
Courses arer scheduled by the President
through the designated staff. All courses on schedule must
be taken by all students at the appointed times.
You will have questions arise during
the term. Your school Student Handbook is a good resource
for many questions you may have. If after referring to it
you do not find the answer to your question, do not hesitate
to approach your Faculty.
Relationships
with Church and Community
Those who are called by the Lord
to ministry are equally called to be a reflection of His
character in both word and deed. A number of requirements
and expectations are placed upon Bible school students by
both the church and the community. The successful student
should be aware of and observe these with diligence. You
will want to be an example in both church attendance and
in the paying of your tithes. Guard your reputation in the
community by maintaining your integrity in financial and
other community matters.
Accountability
We are a non-denominational, Bible-based,
spirit-filled Institute. Our school is accountable to a
God and a Board of Directors.
School

Spiritual Life
Spiritual
Standards
As a Christian Institute, IIPLE is
interested in and committed to the spiritual development
of its students. Although the Institute cannot legislate
spiritual growth in its students, it can and does promote
means to develop spiritual growth. We believe the student
needs to be committed to a lifestyle that includes a daily
time of Bible reading, reflection, and prayer and a regular
life of fasting.
Along with campus programming, students
are encouraged to make personal choices that will reflect
their desire for an intimate relationship with the Lord
Jesus. Students are asked to covenant to pray and read the
Word of God daily so as to assure growth toward Christian
maturity.
Devotional life is a vital part of
spiritual development, relating closely to every aspect
of their preparation for ministry. The following are means
the Institute provides and/or encourages to promote and
develop spiritual life.
Chapel
In the Institute setting, chapel
is for the purpose of spiritual enrichment and growth. In
contrast with the classroom, it is not a structured learning
situation. Chapel provides an opportunity for development
in spiritual gifts and worship.
Attendance at scheduled chapel services
is required of all students. Studying and reading for classes
during chapel is not acceptable.
Chapel is not designed to focus on
the structured church program, but rather on cultivating
a vital personal relationship with God and the corporate
relationship of the body.
Personal
Devotions
Every student is urged to observe
a time of daily prayer and Scripture reading. Meetings,
study, or any other activity should not be allowed to take
the time allotted for communion with God.
Missions
Emphasis Week
Each semester missions is given special
emphasis during one designated chapel service. Students
are encouraged to give of their time in intercessory prayer
for world missions, home missions, missionaries, and the
general work of missions. Special attention is focused on
the various regions of the world through prayer bands, special
speakers, etc. Offerings will be received for support of
selected missionary projects.
Fasting
Because of the nature of the prophetic
ministry, IIPLE has decided to include long fasting as one
of its major forum for spiritual development of the men
and women being trained. Therefore there shall be a period
of 10 days of fasting two times in the semester of five
months. The fasting shall be taken outside the main campus
to any location approved by the authority outside Calabar
or within. Students are expected to camp during the fasting.
Lectures will continue and be combined at whatever location
designated for such.
Counseling
Faculty members are available to
students who desire special prayer and counsel. In some
cases, a staff or faculty member may recommend other spiritual
leaders to assist the student by providing further counseling.
