The Catalyst Community

Evangelism is one crucial aspect of the Christian faith, which can be used as an indication or a mark of one's spiritual growth. Paul, speaking to the church in Philippi, told them that it would be beneficial for them if he remains with them, because they will experience joy and progress. Progress here refers to advancement.  Being a member of a church does not make anyone spiritually mature....

In the miracle of turning water into wine, the massive catch of fish, the calming of the storm and more, creation responded to the king of all creation.  Miracles are a pointer to the one who can save souls- Jesus. Every miracle Jesus performed was not random, neither were they for entertainment. It was for the purpose of the redemption of man to God. Miracles declare that the reign of God has com...

When Jesus gave the great commission in Matthew 28:18, He declared that He has all authority. He was talking about the reign of a new kingdom. Then He specifically said to make disciples. But we’re not just going to educate them, we’re going with power! So the working of the miracles is in our kingdom and is part of our mission. Here are a few points about the miracle of healing: 1. Healing is fir...

When God sends a man, He does not give him power only for the work; He also gives him authority. There is no other way to do ministry than through power and authority. Ministry is a battleground of authority. It is the reclaiming of territories for the Kingdom, and the devil is not happy about that. Therefore, there will be opposition. In Ephesians 6, Apostle Paul describes the forces working agai...

The “wilderness” is the preparation place for the restoration of the kingdom. Hard times and bad things can happen and will happen. But understanding the ways of God shows us that He turns our purpose to pain. God has placed a call over your life that needs to go through seasons of training and being schooled in the Spirit. It takes prayer, building capacity, honing your skills, and strengthening...

Continuing from the last session taught, we learn about the wilderness- how the wilderness is a preparation for the kingdom. Wilderness seasons are the most sensitive for man. We learn never to compare where you are coming from to where God is taking you because comparison is a killer of purpose.

The same Gospel that got you saved is the same Gospel that will cause you to mature. The history of the Israelites is our theology. When we look at how God related to them, we can know what to expect from Him. David’s cry in the wilderness (Psalm 63) was not just random; it was part of a cycle of events repeated in the Bible: the Exodus. Points to note about the Wilderness: • The Wilderness is the...

Purpose in God is His unique imprint on your soul through which you would be able to serve on the earth- the part you play in God’s redemptive plan.  God showed Abraham in the book of Genesis that his life was more than his situation.  Camp meetings exists to remind us, shape us, and get us ready for who God wants us to be. 

God's goal for the world is that every single person hears about the gospel of Jesus Christ, and accepts Him as Lord over everything. Miracles are not for amazement and entertainment. They are a way of enforcing the reign of Christ, the kingdom of God on the earth, taking back territory one place at a time. The expelling of devils miracle is emphasized in this teaching. It is a ministry for al...

Many see the Kingdom of God as a location, a destination, or something that will happen in the future. But the Kingdom of God is happening now; it is the reign of God. The original design was for God and humanity to share the same space. Man was created to be God’s representative, but sin caused a divergence in allegiance to God. Man chose disloyalty. God did not abandon the earth, but the meeting...

The problem of sin is that man lost his relationship with God. There therefore needed to be a restoration of man to God. Christ came to become like us so that we can become like Him, taking on our nature so that we could take on his, entering death so that we could enter life.  The kingdom of God as taught in the previous session is the region of God. It is not a specific place. The kingdom of God...

There is theology which supports the fact that God is with you in your pain. He cared enough to leave divinity and become human so that He could feel what you feel and be a worthy High Priest. The solution to injustice, as we see in the Psalms, is not just legal systems, but God arising and judging the earth. The solution to injustice is the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is not a location or...

In conclusion to the first session, baptism is in some form, a symbol of an exodus. Jesus thought it wise enough to be baptised, giving us a picture of our exodus from death to life. Baptism then becomes a picture of the question: "Who would you follow?'. Would you follow God or return to Egypt? We learn that baptism is a deep spiritual activity signifying your death to sin and ungodlines...

There’s an approach in the writing of Scripture that makes it not just a writing for history but for you.  A few points about the way Hebrew authors wrote: 1. Hebrew authors wrote in patterns. 2. ⁠Hebrew authors used cycles. The Book of Exodus is a pattern that repeats all through the Bible. Exodus was not the first time God separated waters from land to appear. God had to liberate the land from t...

In Special Meetings I, the question of why we gather as a church was answered. However, during a Sunday service, we do not have enough time to cover everything we need for our spiritual growth. That is why God, in His wisdom, instituted other meetings. These include: Prayer Meetings, Teaching Meetings, Worship Meetings, Believers' Meetings, Holy Ghost Meetings, Fellowship/Communion Meetings, a...

“Do not forsake the gathering of believers”, does not only mean that you missed out on something in the service when you do not show up. It also means that other believers miss out on something when you do not show up, or belong to a church. We miss the point of church when we gather for routine only, and not for purpose. The church was never meant to be a building you visit. It is supposed to be...

The 'Fire Place' series introduces and emphasizes the importance of exercising the gifts of the Spirit, for ourselves and for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Every believer is supposed to be a conduit of the presence of God. A break in transmission in your life, meaning how you conduct that power, can limit the flow of God. Every believer has the Spirit of God and can experience the in...

Throughout this series, our devotion has been at the centre of every teaching. The plan of God for your devotion is an overflow; that you wake up every day deciding that your altar will remain on fire for the rest of your life. This teaching gives us ‎practical ways to achieve the overflow in our walk with God: ‎1. Build an obsession for the things of God. 2. Don't forsake the gathering of bel...

As believers, we are instructed by the Bible not to be ignorant of the Charismatic. In this sermon, we are taught what we need to know about spiritual gifts and why every believer should desire to speak in tongues. The Bible does not give an exhaustive list of the gifts of the Spirit, so spiritual gifts refer to abilities which are empowered by the Holy Spirit and are used in the ministry of the C...

No matter how shattered your altar may have become, under the right circumstances, it can come back to life again.  We are not supposed to treat our spiritual fire as if it cannot be quenched. We are to protect it because it can be quenched.  It is our responsibility to fan the flames of the fire in us and keep it burning. As a priest of your altar, you should not only know how to make the fire bu...

Many times, people think the things of the Spirit happen randomly. But the things of the Spirit can operate by consistent discoverable and repeated laws. There is a science to the things of the Spirit. You can have replicable results. In nature, fire needs the same elements every time to be created. The same goes for the spirit. Some things that must be present for you to keep your altar on fire....

Encounters are the starting point of devotion. When you reach the point where nothing else matters but God, that is where devotion truly begins. If you truly know God, that knowledge should be compelling enough to bring you to total surrender. Some arguments discussed in this teaching include: 1. An inconsistent devotion is a vision problem, not a will problem. 2. A man’s spiritual history will re...

At this point in the year, there are 242 days left till the end of the year 2026, and it is possible to make the most of these remaining days of the year to show up at the place of prayer every single day and fix up what is needed in our devotion.  This teaching series presents to us that it is possible to know God more. We do not have to be comfortable in our current position of devotion and our...

At salvation, you did not give God a life that was worthy or useful on its own. The life you had was already tending toward death and wrath; there was nothing God could do with that life. Instead, you received the very life of Christ. At salvation, we became partakers of the divine nature of Jesus Christ. This reality should completely transform how you see yourself, how you handle suffering, how...

Signs of perilous times have been prophesied in the Bible. This is not something that should surprise us because we know that it would come to pass. False prophets will arise, and false doctrines will be preached in churches. But it is our responsibility to be discerning and identify these false teachings. We can identify a good church by asking ourselves these questions: 1. What is their doctrine...
