The supernatural is instinctive in a believer. This is what God created the believer for- to function in the Spirit. To function in the Spirit is part of the believer's DNA and it is to be desired and coveted.

Because scripture is consistent, inerrant (without error), and authored by God, no passage can be interpreted in a way that contradicts the overall teaching of the Bible. This would mean three things for us: 1. To make any conclusion on any theological concept, we must consider the whole counsel of the Word of God. 2. When interpreting scripture, we move from the known to the unknown. 3. Since the...

How do we recognize false teaching? What does a false teacher sound like? In a world full of voices, asking the right questions helps us stay grounded in the truth of God's word. We must be extremely careful about who we listen to when it comes to Scriptures, so as not to be deceived and led astray. This first teaching in this series gives us answers to questions about the subject matter.

To understand who the Holy Spirit is, we must know who He is not. The Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity, and He is God. Jesus had to leave to send another of himself, the Spirit. The promise of salvation is the promise of the Spirit. We receive the Spirit by faith.

“Union with Christ” is a phrase used to summarize the different relationships between the believer and Christ, through which the believer receives the many benefits of salvation. There are many benefits of being in Christ that are given to every believer. But it would not matter that we have these if we do not know that we have them. This teaching opens our eyes to these benefits and what they sho...

In every supernatural experience, God meets us halfway. The things of the Spirit are among the most emphatic things in the Bible. We were not born to live ordinary lives because we represent God on Earth. The Bible teaches us to desire and covet the things of the Spirit and not to hold back. We would need spiritual gifts to do all the things God has set man to do on earth. This episode teaches us...

God needed to save man and restore His kingship on the earth. Throughout the Old Testament, God used people's lives, their culture, and prophecies to tell the story of how He would do this. So, who truly is Christ? Why is He coming? How will we know Him when we see Him? These are three crucial questions that this teaching answers.

Revelation through scripture is progressive. The Greek word for Word is "Logos". From the beginning in Genesis, we see that there was the Ruach of God, his spirit, the Logos of God, and God. The logos of God is the clearest way to know who God is because it reveals the father and his plans to us.

This episode explores the foundational question of Christology: “Who is Jesus?” We confront heresies that deny Christ's humanity and affirm the doctrine of the Hypostatic Union—Jesus as fully God and fully man. His full humanity was necessary for Him to die in our place, and His full divinity makes our salvation possible. Through this teaching, we discover why denying either nature undermines...

Jesus had to be human to die, and God to resurrect. Isaiah's prophecy about the virgin birth, Jesus being worshipped, and his resurrection are proofs of the incarnation. Our theology of Christ matters to him, and more so to our understanding of the Christian faith. The divinity and humanity of Christ must be reconciled to have the proper interpretation of his person.

The manifestation of the holiness of God is the glory of God. It is first a message before it is an experience. God's plan is for the whole earth to be filled with his glory. The moment a person believes the gospel, they have seen the glory of God.

This teaching explores the Christological heresy of Arianism, which denies Jesus' deity, by claiming He was a created being rather than God. We examine how this false doctrine spread in the early church and how Alexander stood against Arios. The controversy led to Constantine summoning the first ecumenical council and forming the Nicene Creed. The message also highlights the danger of false teachi...

One of the best ways to know what something is is to know what it is not. At the beginning of this new teaching series, we delve into some theological controversies to understand who Jesus is not, so that we can better understand who He truly is.

Temptation is something we all deal with every day, and sometimes it shows up looking like freedom. That is why we, as believers, have to stay alert. It often starts with a simple thought, something contrary to what God says. If we don’t catch it early, that thought can become a desire that pulls us toward sin. The key is to deal with it immediately, before it takes root and leads us in the wrong ...

Leaps and Bounds Abuja What do you do when the Lord gives you a vision that looks humanly impossible? If you have fear instead of faith, something is wrong, and this traces back to the fall of man. So, how then do you respond to and handle those great visions? We are taught how to do so in this stirring session of the Leaps and Bounds Abuja meeting.

Faith is a belief system. Christianity cannot be done on a believer's terms but rather by the standard set by God. Everything that Christ did for us substantiates our faith in God. In this episode, we dwell on what the Christian worldview is and what makes up a believer's fundamental beliefs, values, and assumptions about key aspects of existence.

In this powerful session from Leaps and Bounds Lagos, we are reminded that while grace and divine moments (kairos) open doors, only labour sustains what has been given. Drawing from Ephesians 4:11, the message emphasizes the importance of honouring God’s servants, recognizing that men are God’s gifts to men. Honour is a vital currency in the kingdom, and to walk in ancient graces, we must uphold t...

In the Catalyst Church, we have experienced grace and kairos by the help of God. Now, it is time for labour! It is the time to learn sustenance of the graces we have received in the place of labour in prayers. We must not always wait for special meetings and encounters with God. As necessary as these meetings are, there is also a place for labour.

As a believer, you can grow in faith. Those who do more for God have expanded their faith by hearing and acting on His Word. Visionary faith isn’t just believing in what is. It is believing in what is possible. A visionary believer sees God’s plan, anchors to His promises, and moves with conviction. Faith isn’t wishful thinking, it’s action. It dares to see the future God has promised and brings i...

A believer must take heed of his heart. You have a part to play in remaining steadfast. You must understand that the things you feed on will significantly affect your walk with God. The church in Colossae had issues with doctrines from Jewish teachers laying on them legalism. But Apostle Paul teaches them to stand firm in the truth of the Word of God and reminds them of how their experience with C...

How we respond to any word God gives us matters. Faith exploits would be challenging and would not always be within our comfort zone. Actions of faith involves holding on to the word of God. Our faith banks on a God that has the ability to do signs and wonders. Facts are not determined by experiences and our experiences don’t influence the word of God but the word should influence our experiences.

Apostle Paul’s letter to the Colossians is a powerful reminder that Christ is enough. In a world filled with distractions and false teachings, believers must stand firm in the truth of the gospel, letting their lives reflect Christ in every way. The Word of God is not just literature; it is divine, bringing light, understanding, and transformation. Instead of seeking worldly wisdom or mystery, we...

Faith is believing even in an environment of contradiction. It would always be tenacious, no matter the circumstance. Sometimes, the hard times you go through are to make you stronger. God has a will too, and He cannot be threatened to do as you will. Therefore, submit to His sovereignty.

The church in Colossae faced challenges from false ideologies and doctrines. The Apostle Paul addressed this by emphasizing Christ's preeminence and sufficiency. He taught about Christ's supremacy and divinity, establishing important doctrines about His role in salvation and our submission to Him. As believers, Christ must be central in how we live our lives, both in doctrine and in conduc...

Faith is the currency of God. It has always been the yardstick before the law came. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. The law was not given to reveal right from wrong or to make us righteous. It was given to reveal God's holy standard.
