What do our lives say about God's character and integrity? Let us repent of ways we have cowered and given God's character and integrity a negative image by our (in)action. Let's pray: Lord I want to know you more than Job did. Remember Job's end. “Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” (Psalm 23:6 N...

Breaking Limits - Rev Sam Aboyeji ( August 13, 2023)

As I reflect and meditate over our theme and the passages, the message I receive repeatedly is that we are at the threshold of experiencing a great move of God. God is always ready to lift limits provided we understand His purpose for doing so, His plan for achieving that goal, and what positioning we take. Our theme references drive us right back to God’s purpose – To bless and to make us a bless...

How do we sustain our confidence in Christ in an ungodly world? Dispassionately and prayerfully conduct a self-audit to discern your true spiritual state. (Psalm 139:23-24; 19:12-14) • Confess and forsake immediately any sin for which you have been convicted by the Holy Spirit. (Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:8-10) • Boldly draw near with a full assurance of faith. (Hebrews 10:19-22, 4:16) • Hold fast t...

Lack of faith or confidence in God is equivalent to calling God a liar and untrustworthy. This type of reasoning turns the person into an enemy of God. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV) In the book of Numbers, we see the pain of God due to the unbelief...

Do not allow the situations of life, the challenges of today and the everyday events erode your confidence. The “confidence eroders” such as fear, unbelief, doubt, and all sorts will always come up and be thrown at you to shift your focus away from the Lord. Do not make room for them. Trust in the Lord and have faith in Him, no matter the challenges in life, you will come out victorious as Paul de...

Living in confidence in Christ is the best defense against temptations. Confidence moves your character towards perfection, for you allow the Lord to control you. • David admits that there were times when he had to go through the valley. This phrase is meant to speak of any dark situation where you cannot see your way in life. • To have confidence is to have freedom from doubt; to have trust or fa...

Living right with God and loving Him with all our heart places us on the path to living confidently. It is both achievable and the ultimate for us as Christians and children of God.

How do we love and encourage people with special needs. How do we love and encourage their care givers? This panel discussion is to increase our understanding of and love for people with special needs and require special care like the differently enabled, physically challenged and partly incapacitated people (young or old or the very elderly) and their care givers.

The bible is unequivocal in its affirmation of God’s ability to magnify and multiply small things. He made Abraham into a great nation; He fed thousands of people with five loaves of bread and two fish. Peter caught a multitude of fish that got him, and onlookers amazed. All of these are clear indications that God is not only able, He is also willing to multiply us. We can draw encouragement from...

Biblical obedience is yielding or submitting to the authority or instructions of God as contained in His Words. Every covenant of God is hinged on obedience. When God created Adam, He blessed and authorised him to subdue and dominate the earth and all its contents. The scripture says, God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over th...

The Bible is replete with testimonies of divine multiplications as we can see from the text we just read. We are encouraged by what God did in the lives of Abraham and Peter. In the past two Sundays we have dealt with keys of divine multiplications viz-a-viz key of discernment which empowers for divine multiplications, and the key of sacrifice that enriches divine multiplications. As we celebrate...

Divine Multiplications have many implications. It may imply fruitfulness, enlargement, expansion, greater success, bumper harvest, etc. It covers all areas of life. The creation story shows us that mankind is to be fruitful and multiply. It is a command from God; “Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of th...

Just as we have learned from God’s dealings with Abraham, and Peter’s encounter with Jesus in Genesis 13 and Luke 5:1-4 respectively, we too should develop the habit of spending quality time with God, seeking His face and waiting patiently to hear His voice, so that we can experience divine multiplications.

Two different and opposite stories but same message. The Jeremiah 35 passage is a story about people who were faithful and Malachi 2:10-16 is a story of people who were unfaithful. However, the two stories have one message, namely, Be Faithful. This morning, we will consider the message or topic, be faithful, using the second story. We will do this under two main subheadings: Feel the Pain and Ful...

Jesus was loyal to His call, His people, and His mission of saving humanity. Even when He called out to God in His suffering, He never wavered in His loyalty to you and me. He was obedient to the point of death and left a legacy of undying love and faithfulness. (John 6:38; Philippians 2:8) May the Lord grant us all grace to leave a legacy of Faithfulness. Amen.

The greatest joy in any parent’s life, especially mothers, is not only in pointing their children to Christ, but also seeing them going on with the Lord and doing well in every area of their lives. Because by this only can God be glorified and of course, the faith is passed on from generation to generation. My prayer for every mother in the house today is that you will enjoy the fruits of your lab...

Building a faithful and dependable family out of our brokenness. Broken by accident – God mends. Broken by choices made – God mends. Broken by sickness – God will mend. Broken by family circumstances – God mends.

“The blood shall be a sign for you on [the doorposts of] the houses where you live; when I see the blood, I shall pass over you, and no affliction shall happen to you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 12:13 AMP) • Passover commemorates the Biblical story of Exodus - where God freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. • The blood of the lamb shed, and its presence on the do...

Integrity as a concept is not lost, it continues to remain a pivotal and cardinal Christian concept based purely on the word of God and His expectations of us. However, there is a diminishing emphasis on Integrity today and very little outward expression of the inner integrity by Christians. “You know my heart, and even during the night you have tested me and found me innocent. I have made up my m...

God intends for the Cross of Christ to not only save us, and bridge the gap between us and Himself, but also to be an example of what love costs in any kind of relationship, whether divine, between God and people, or between humans. Genuine love is very expensive and can cost everything, just as it did Christ. Let us re-orient ourselves with this mindset that led Jesus to the Cross, towards God an...
