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...

A lot of people think the way to be able to identify heresy and wrong teachings is figuring out who is wrong, and finding all the wrong teachings. But new methods of presenting heresies are being brought up every day. So it is actually knowing the right thing enough that helps you know what is wrong.  On two ends of the pole on the nature of Jesus, we have His divinity, and we have His humanity. T...

The true nature of Jesus Christ is best understood by affirming what He is and rejecting what He is not. Throughout history, several heresies such as Docetism, Arianism, Apollinarianism, Nestorianism, and Eutychianism have distorted the truth about His identity, either denying His full humanity, His full divinity, or the proper union of both. The truth is the Hypostatic Union. Jesus Christ is one...

In this sermon, we learn about Jesus' reputation as the Christ. We are taught that from the fall of Adam, there was rebellion against God, and this rebellion was a result of sin, causing God to stop being king in the hearts of many people. However, we discover through Scriptures that God had a plan to save the world and restore all men to see him as king over their lives.

To properly understand the Incarnation of God, we must know what necessitated it- sin. From this teaching, we learn that man cannot pay for his sins even if he tries because he is helpless. Every man needs the intervention of a saviour who is without sin, who is human, and of infinite worth. The following are some points to note about the incarnation: 1. God had always announced his plan to save t...

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is central to the Christian faith. It confirms His lordship and assures believers that death is not the end. Because He rose again, those who die in Christ have the hope of eternal life. What distinguishes Christianity is not just reverence for Jesus, but an understanding of who He is. What you believe about His identity is important. There have been several incorr...

In this sermon, we learn that reverence for Jesus is not what makes you a believer but what you believe about him.  Jesus asked the disciples, "Who am I to you?" because it matters to Jesus who He is to the believer.  The disciplined study of who Christ is is known as Christology. This shapes our doctrine, the lens through which every other doctrine must be looked at.  Three terms that r...

It is possible to have money and still love the Lord. There is an increase that comes with money, which serves God, rather than replacing Him in your life. The answer is a prepared heart. You can get to a point that money does not move you, and the bible gives us examples of such people– Zacchaeus, Abraham, Lydia, Joseph of Arimathea. Therefore, your worth should not come to a point where lack or...

The Christian faith is a faith of results. And there are certain results you would not get without prevailing prayers. We are taught that our prayers can transform what the word of God says into power in our hands. Every work of God- present, past, and future- operates through a consistent principle, His word preceding, and His power confirming.  We are made to understand the following: 1.  God is...

In this morning session of Leaps and Bounds, we learn that the Salvation experience was not an upgrade; it was a whole new being created from a different source entirely. We also learn that one of the ways to birth results is through prevailing prayers- prayers that are consistent, insistent, continuous, unending, and perpetual. It does not rest and never ends until you see results or hear the voi...

The CHEQUMATE series rounds off with an exposition on tithing and giving the Biblical way. We discover that not many believers know how to separate which parts of the Old Testament laws still apply today. This is due to a lack of understanding of the context of the law. When it comes to the subject of tithing, the wrong understanding would cause you to fall into two possible ditches, which are: 1....

God is sovereign and at the same time a father. In His sovereignty, He has established systems and yet still chooses to intervene in favour of people and places according to His will. We are stewards of the resources we have. Just like in a game of chess, where there are moves to protect the king, you must “Guard your heart with all diligence...”, as the Bible instructs. Work hard, but also examin...

The life of Solomon, who is said to be the wisest man who ever lived, was examined in this teaching. We discover that most of his life choices did not align with the true wisdom of God after all. His final position on how we should perceive wealth and riches is one to note, as he had acquired all there was in relation to money. We are reminded that the money we possess is only a tool that should b...

One of the most misleading ideas about the Bible is that it teaches you every single thing you need to know about life. The central theme of the Bible is Jesus and the salvation plan. And even though God can bless us financially, that is not the promise of the gospel. These are a few points we learn about the gospel and money: 1. Jesus did not die to make us rich. 2. Being saved does not make you...

In the game of chess, your opponent is after your king. Putting your opponent’s king in a position where it has no moves is a winning strategy. In the same way, if you willingly say that Jesus is Lord, it must mean something. It demands surrender. Everything in your life—your time, your resources—must bow alongside you. Among other things, there are two that can easily become idols in your life: l...

The Last Supper that Jesus and His disciples had in the Bible was not a new invention at the time. The practice was from a feast called the Passover, and what they did was in remembrance of that day, when God made death pass over the children of Israel.  Jesus explains the meaning of the Passover meal using figures of speech. The bread signifies His body, which came back to life, as the Passover w...

‎It is important to know that even in God’s family, there is room for romantic love. But if we are going to do it right, we have to know God’s perspective: How should love be treated? How should we, His children, love, care for, and cleave to one another? In addition to this teaching, "Valentine Letters" are addressed to both singles and couples.
