Article 7: The Logo and Symbols
The Logo of the Organization
The significance of the Logo of the Organization shall be conceptualized in a combination of the following Scriptures — The Outpouring Oasis Logo Meaning Statement:
Our logo is a prophetic emblem that captures the heart and mission of The Outpouring Oasis. Every element has been prayerfully designed to reflect our divine calling:
- The Golden Circle symbolizes the eternal presence, completeness, and divine covering of God. It reminds us that everything we do flows from His infinite glory and unending love.
- The Uplifted Hands represent a people positioned to both receive and impart. As a ministry, we are called to nurture, bless, and empower lives — being vessels of God's grace, healing, and pastoral care to the world.
- The Oil Droplet with its inner waves signifies the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Like streams in the desert, we are an oasis of refreshing, revival, and spiritual vitality. Through the prophetic and pastoral flow, lives are transformed, revived, and empowered.
- The Golden Hue reflects the richness of God's anointing, the royalty of His Kingdom, and the radiance of His glory that shines through His people.
- The Droplet on the Letter 'O' in Oasis reinforces the continuous outpouring from heaven into the earth — through our ministry, into every life we touch.
Together, these symbols declare that The Outpouring Oasis is a sanctuary where heaven meets earth, the Spirit flows freely, and lives are renewed, restored, and sent forth to impact the nations.
Article 8: Biblical Basis
Strategic Prayers and Supplications
- Job 38:12–13: "Has thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?"
- Psalm 2:8: "Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession".
There is no technical or scientific way to command supernatural growth without a strong prayer base. Prayer is the way to power divine purpose for realization. We must renew our prayer altars for speedy delivery of God's plan and purpose. As we give ourselves to prayer and ministry of the word, the number of disciples will multiply greatly (Acts 6:4–7). The fellowship is a spiritual body and can only be made to grow spiritually. The key to extraordinary growth is prayer. As we have often noted, a praying church is a growing church, therefore, a praying fellowship will end up a growing fellowship. "…for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth…" — (Isaiah 66:7–8) (See also Ezekiel 36:37–38).
