The Power, Victory and Wisdom of God is in you!

1 Peter 5:8

“Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”

If there is balance in your life, the devil can’t come in. If you have self control, he will not be able to lead you astray. Be sober, be vigilant and remember that the victory of God is in you. The wisdom of God is in you. The power of God is in you.

CHRIST JESUS!

Christ in you the hope of glory!

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace…

Sometimes God does not answer our immediate prayer because He has something greater in store for us

The Silence of God

He who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him.

Psalm 32:10, NKJV

Is God silent in your life? What prayers has He not answered for you?

At a time of unanswered prayer in my life years ago, my mother taught me the verse to a hymn that I still quote when I am totally baffled by events that seem to careen out of the orbit of what I have asked:

Trust Him when dark doubts assail thee,

Trust Him when thy strength is small,

Trust Him when to simply trust Him,

Seems the hardest thing of all.

Is your focus on your immediate need blinding you to a greater purpose that God is working out? Would you…

Christianity And Homosexuality Part 1

(Sunday School/ Bible Study/ Sermon Note)

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;” (Romans 1:28)

Read: Romans 1:21-28

INTRODUCTION:

Today, especially in the western world, homosexuals and lesbians have gained substantial momentum. They have “come out” as the term goes, left their closets. Through television, radio, newspapers and magazines, they are preaching their doctrine of tolerance, equality, justice, and love. They do not want to be perceived as abnormal or dangerous. They want to be recognised and accepted socially, politically etc. in this study we shall examine the biblical perspective and the Christian worldview as touching this subject matter…

Christianity and Homosexuality Part 2

(Sermon Note/ Sunday School/ Bible Study)

“That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;” Ephesians 4:22

Read:  Romans 1:21-28

INTRODUCTION

So far we have discussed what homosexuality really is, societal attitude and what the Bible says about it. Now, we shall be examining the dangers involved in homosexuality, Christian’s response to the homosexual and homosexual marriages.

THE DANGER INVOLVED

Unlike other sins, this sexual sin has a judgment administered by God Himself: He gives them over to their passions and “to do those things which are not convenient—-in the old sense of that word, that is, “not becoming,” “indecorous,” “shameful.” (Romans 1:26-28)…

One Beautiful Moment

READ:Isaiah 40:6-11

All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. —Isaiah 40:6

One snap of the shutter, and there it was . . . one beautiful moment captured in time for eternity. The late summer sun reflected in the breaking wave made the water look like liquid gold splashing onto the shore. If my friend had not been there with his camera, the wave would have gone unnoticed, like so many others that have come and gone, seen only by God.

Who can imagine how many waves Lake Michigan has sent rolling onto the shoreline? Yet each one is unique. As seen in every wave, God makes extravagant beauty out of seemingly mundane things. Using water and air, He makes wondrous works of art. We enjoy His gallery in skies above and on…

God Is Good To You, He Loves You!

Psalm 73:1 says:

“Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.”

We understand that God desires to be good to us.

James 1:17 says:

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

God gives us a pure heart. He washes away our sins through the blood of His Son Jesus Christ, and He gives us His Word so that we may stay free from sin and transgression. He leads us into the paths of His Word and of righteousness for His Name’s sake. In other words, when this verse says God is good to Israel, to everyone who is of a clean heart, it simply means that God sent His Son to…

The righteousness which is by faith

“………Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness” (Romans 4:3)

The righteousness of the Law of Moses was based on works. However, the righteousness which is by the faith of Jesus Christ was credited to your account when you were born again; this righteousness excludes works. In other words, it’s not based on the works of the Law or your good actions. It’s not based on how good and nice you’ve been, but on faith. It has nothing to do with what you did and what you didn’t do, for it’s the result of what Christ has done.

Sadly, some Christians are still trying to be righteous, holy, and pleasing to God! They are struggling to be what they already are. They’re trying to possess what God already said belongs to them. The Bible says, “Therefore being justified…

How Much More, God?

This might be what you are feeling, or have felt lately, especially when it comes to the talk of high gas prices or more economic challenges!  Or maybe that is the question you have been asking for the trials you are facing or the things you are believing for: “How much more, God?!?”

I want you to be encouraged today to see this phrase “how much more” from a different perspective. Rather than “how much more can we take?” as if life’s challenges are so great that we can’t take any more of what we are facing, I want you to see that Jesus said “how much more” is God’s delight and desire in blessing you, and not just a question of frustration or hopelessness!

This is why we don’t need to look at the trial, sickness or challenge…

Be Vigilant!

And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Mark 13:37
When Jesus was asked about what would happen at the end of time, He
talked about being ready and gave examples of some people who were
ready and some who weren’t. Those who were ready were the Overcomers in
the churches. Just because you are saved doesn’t mean that you will be
in the rapture of the church. The cold, the lukewarm, those who have
lost their first love and are not producing for Christ, and those who are
caught up with the things of the world won’t automatically qualify for
the rapture. They are backslidden. This is a hard concept for people
who have been taught that if they have once been saved they are always
saved, and that once they are…

You are valuable to God

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20)

Before the foundations of the earth, God saw you, knew you, and pre-ordained you unto glory. By faith, He declared you to be a success, and purposed that you’ll prosper in whatsoever you lay your hands to do.

Jesus used the man who brought a field because of the treasure in it to explain what the faith of the Son of God truly is, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found…

Faith

He (Abraham) staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, He was able also to perform (Romans 4:20-21).

Do not stagger!

Abraham, the Bible says, was strong in faith; he was fully persuaded at the promise of God. You see, strong faith doesn’t stagger at the promise of God; it maintains confession in the face of overwhelming opposition.

I was privileged to read the testimony of a minister who had applied to a certain organization for a job. The personnel officer in charge said to her, “Sorry, the interview has been conducted and the management already selected the suitable candidate for the job.” “No!” the minister replied. “When I was praying, God told me I was…

God hears your cries no matter how many times you mess up. He is rich in mercy

Read: Psalm 147:3

Have you ever done something for your children when you know they didn’t deserve it, but you did it anyway? Why? Because you love them.

Take for example the children of Israel. They were in bondage. And they began to cry out, and God heard their cry. He remembered His covenant, and sent Moses to deliver them out of that bondage. It wasn’t long after God delivered them out of Egypt, that they were breaking covenant again. They were rebellious. They were disobedient. That same curse came on them, and they were in bondage again. As a matter of fact, most of their…

The Secret To A Dynamic Christian Life!

When you face challenges, get into your closet and speak in tongues!

For he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not unto men, but unto God: for no man understands him; howbeit in the spirit he speaks mysteries (1 Corinthians 14:2)

Sometimes when you’re speaking in other tongues, you’re not only talking to God, you’re also issuing instructions to angels. Notice that the Apostle Paul didn’t say when you speak in tongues, no angel understands, but that no man understands. You’re speaking mysteries to God – words which cannot be uttered in articulated language, hence cannot be understood by the natural mind.

That’s what the Apostle Paul refers to as the tongues of angels. At that points, you’re talking to angels; you’re speaking in the realm of the spirit. For example, maybe you misplaced something and don’t seem to…

Life of praise and thanksgiving

“And being not weak in faith, he (Abraham) considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God (Romans 4:19-20)

True Christianity is a supernatural life of faith in God’s Word. When you’re operating by the principles of faith, you’ll always be giving glory to God. You’ll always be thankful and grateful to Him, not for what you expect Him to do, but for all He’s already done, because you’ve come to understand that there’s absolutely nothing that He hasn’t done for you yet. This understanding makes your life that of praise and thanksgiving; you glorify God every day, everywhere and at all times.

In your life, you must learn how…

God‘s Purpose for your life.

Colossians 1:16 (NKJV)

“For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.”
Everything begins with God. You were made by Him, you did not create yourself and until you understand that, life will never make sense. If you want to discover your purpose in life, don’t turn to the world for an answer, but to God.

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Reach out in faith to receive your miracle today

WHOSE FAITH WAS IT?

Luke 7:13-14, “And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not, And he came and touched the bier: and they that bear him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.”

LUKE 7:11-17

This example of the widow’s son being raised from the dead is often used to demonstrate that Jesus produced many miracles without any faith from those receiving the miracle, but by His faith alone. However, the prayer in Mark 6:5-6 shows that Jesus could not (nor would not) do many mighty works in His home town because of the people’s unbelief. Many scriptures reveal that faith must be present to receive…

God will not force you to give but He will bless you when you do
 

Give, and it will be given to you…. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Luke 6:38
As a Christian, you are in a different kingdom now. God’s kingdom is completely different from everything in the kingdom of the world. In this kingdom, in order to get, you must give (your talents, time, resources, ect).
The instruction you choose to obey determines the future you will create. God won’t force you to give but He will bless you when you do. It doesn’t make sense to trust your soul to God and not your talents, gifts, time and resources.
Jesus gave numerous instructions on what to do with your resources and we ignore them at our peril. Everything God instructs you to do is…

Sermon By Pastor E A Adeboye RCCG 60th Annual RCCG Convention.  Come Up Higher – THAT I MAY KNOW HIM

Topic: THAT I MAY KNOW HIM 

Text: Philippians 3 v 7- 11

Paul said I want to know Him. Knowledge is power and ignorance is

destruction. The word of God says my people are destroyed for lack

of knowledge. When Paul who is an apostle says he wants to know Jesus,

where do you stand?

There are many aspects to the life and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ;

there is the aspect of Him as the Saviour, there is the aspect of Him

as the Healer and there is the aspect of Him as the Deliverer.

What aspect of Him did Paul wants to know? I think he is interested in the

aspect of Jesus Christ as the Truth. He wanted to know more about the

truth.

So we…
