Times of refreshing are spiritual experiences that makes you fresh, including times of personal devotion, times with the body of Christ, and times of revival events. These experiences are a benefit of salvation and help anticipate times of restoration when Jesus returns. These times take us back to where we need to be in our walk with God and realign our priorities. Retreats are essential in seeki...

The gospel is everything. It is so simple that a child can understand it yet so profound that you will spend a lifetime exploring and experiencing its fullness. This same gospel, the gospel in every generation and time is still relevant. The outcome of the gospel message is a burning heart. The effect of a conversion experience is a burning heart. A heart check is necessary if your heart is no lon...

Things in life will not always happen the way you want them to because we live in a world full of evil, trials, and tribulations. David said, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For You are with me”. So even if these hard times come, be resolute in your belief that God remains good, He is with you in the pain, and God can repurpose your pain to glori...

The most profound key in understanding the Bible is summarized thus‘ The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed.' In this teaching, we are taught the Providential nature of God. ‘JIREH' means the Providential God. Abraham decided to believe God showing ‘Simple Faith' (Heb 11:17). That if God has declared a thing, no matter what...

If God is good, should we trust for healing or not? How do we trust for a healing? How do we receive a healing? Do we have the authority to lay hands on the sick today or should we just accept that God is sovereign and He heals whoever he wants to heal?

In the face of pain and suffering, the question of where God is in our pain often arises. People often use evil as a factor to cancel out the existence of God. Through scriptures, we see God has dealt with the root cause, sin so the response we give in these situations matters knowing that God is there with us in our pain. In this teaching, we learn more about how to respond in such situations.

When considering the principles of the Bible you have to consider the whole Bible, revelation is progressive in nature, how we perceive Gods character must be throughout scripture the Bible says in him there is no variation and he doesn’t change.

The Bible is one book and it should therefore be read as a whole. The same way we consider any topic in the Bible is the same way we must do so for the character of God- study it from the Old Testament down to the New Testament. The teaching answers questions on the problem of evil and the nature of God from theological, logical, philosophical, and emotional standpoints.

This teaching lays the bricks on how to deal with tough situations and questions in the world. We are taught how to perceive God as good, loving, merciful, and just in this world of evil. He is and will always be good as He is the Father of lights. In this teaching, we see two ways God has revealed himself; 1. General revelation 2. Special revelation

The fact that there are many extremes on tongues does not make it fake The exception does not make the point. In fact, the burden of proof should not be on us who believe in tongues, rather it should be on anyone who speaks against it because there is no Biblical indication that tongues have stopped.

God said we are helped by the holy ghost, God has a track record of turning little men into big men, God wants to help you by his spirit he wants you to see that, God wants to help you in prayer and you can be helped by God.

Through scriptures, we see there is an infinite river we have as believers we can draw potential from, if we don't draw from it, it'll remain dormant. In this teaching we were taught how to make good use of the infinite river in us.

If you are unfaithful in the little things God has asked you to do and you are sluggish about it, He will not give you bigger things to handle. You must be dead to your fleshly pleasures to be able to build the capacity to sustain what you are asking for. This happens in the place of prayer. In this teaching, we are reminded of the necessity of prayer and how to make our prayers effective. The maj...

When the Holy Spirit came to live in you, you became God’s temple The temple in the Old Testament was a shadow of YOU Therefore, you can learn a lot about yourself by looking at what God did in the Old Testament temples If it was instructed that fire be burning in the Old Testament temples then it must be your reality that fire is always burning in you.

At salvation, the moment the Holy Spirit came to live in us, we became his temple. We became a house of prayer. Prayer should be a constant activity in our lives. The bedrock of sustenance is consistency. Being a house of prayer requires discipline and consistency. As much as it's our life, there's a walk of consistency you must do to call out who you really are, which is a house of prayer...

Prayer is an activity carried out in reverence and consistency by man which involves verbalizing his desires, petitions and requests unto God. God’s plan for every believer is that he grows and prayer is one of those things every believer needs to be taught in order to get it right. This teaching answers some frequently asked questions on the concept of prayer.

The Bible instructs us to pray without ceasing. Prayer to a believer is like oxygen to man. It keeps us alive spiritually. The Apostle Paul would not have given that instruction if he didn't believe prayer to be an effective part of your spiritual well-being because whatever you have to do non-stop has to sustain you. Therefore, we must pray always, in-season, out of season and without ceasing...

The one subject one can't claim to have mastery on is eternity. As believers, we have the assurance of eternity because we have a risen saviour. It's only someone who has died and rose again that has the right to tell us what happens after death. This teaching answers the following 1. Is there really life after death? 2. Do we really have hope of continuing our existence after we drop this...

False doctrine has been rampant since Bible times. We must be careful not to be deceived by false prophets. This is why we must know what the Bible says and take heed to who teaches what, and what kind of doctrine they teach. We must also not entertain any form of mockery or insults against the Christian faith.

Following a spiritual father is a big part of growth in discipleship. A spiritual father is one whom God has given to someone for their spiritual well-being. Scriptures give us solid backing for this sort of relationship. We see examples with Paul and Timothy, and Elijah and Elisha. Through observation, following instructions, and learning to stay, you will grow.

Ministry gifts are vital for church development, and this is God's strategy for building and equipping men. In order to be mentored by a spiritual father, service within the church is essential because this fosters discipleship and character building. Elisha showed great tenacity to learn, observe and be in close proximity with his spiritual father (Elijah) which only a follower would possess....

Our idea on discipleship should be from the scriptures, you need to put aside your own idea and accept scriptures, The church of Christ must be a church of disciples, Your walk with Christ is an instruction, A lot of people are saved but not discipled, you need to be discipled.

To be a student of the Word, it is important to prioritize going to church to be taught the things of God. Honor and take seriously, the structures that have been set for you in the church. The structures are put in place to aid your spiritual growth. This is the way to be a disciple.

Jesus set a structure for how the church and the gospel would continue to move forward in His absence. This was His final instruction before His ascension. He gave them a template of what He had done with them to do with others. He said, “Go into the world and make disciples…” As such, the church of Christ is not meant to be a mere assembly of members but a community of devoted disciples.

The Spirit of God brings order into the lives of his children who align themselves to the vision of God- preaching the gospel to all men. God is willing and able to bring order into every area of your life including your health, your finances, your academics, your business, and your family. Align yourself to his will, and you will experience his order. This teaching on order by the Spirit sheds mo...
