Message
One of the things God did in time past form our text is fruitfulness, God promised His children fruitfulness and that promise still stands. As long as you are a child of God, it means God dwells in you, and you are blessed. Let it be settled in our hearts that we are related to God so therefore we are blessed.
As believers we need to study God's words to see what He has done in time past, because He will surely do it again.
As believers we must understand that God is concerned about us.
As believers we should know that spiritually covenanted people.
God promised functional health.
There will be terrible diseases but we are not to experience them. There is a lineage of the blood of Jesus that can take you out of every evil lineage you belong to. God has promised us a functional health in all things.
Deut. 7:17-18. Things we need to do to operate in these promises
We must remove fear: we must fear not and faint not. We must not be intimidated by things going on around us.
Whatever the uncertainties, fear not and faint not.
As human beings we have our limitations that it was often times make us fear and faint.
We must have the God kind of faith: that when we speak in line with God's word, God will do it.
Whatsoever is happening around us, we hold on to God's words.
Faith is the antidote of fear. If God has said it, He has the ability to bring it to pass.
What God has said will surely come to past in our lives in Jesus name.
Prayers

- Whatsoever God has spoken over your life, it shall come to pass in Jesus name

- Topic: God is Sufficient for all things
- Text: 2 Cor. 9:6-8, 2 Cor. 2:14-16
Message
When something is all round, it is said to be completed that is it covers everything. As believers we should always have it in my that the lord will supply all our needs without limitations. Giving is not limited to money alone. When God wants to give you something, He makes a demand as said in the Bible, give and it shall be given unto you.
The promise of God for us this year release is not limited to any respect, God wants us to be sufficient in ALL things.
Areas where God should grant us Sufficiency:
Sufficiency in Love and Forgiveness (2 Cor 2:5-11)
We must also have sufficiency in love as Christians, we should be able to go to any length to help one another.
Sufficiency in Humility (2 Cor .3:5):
When you are doing well beware of pride and arrogance. God wants us to be humble in any situation
Sufficiency in Resilience 2 Cor 4:1-2,7
God does not want the issues of life to weigh us down as believers. We must not be tired or weary in the face of challenges.
Sufficiency in Hope (2 Cor 6:1-10)
A lot of things happen around us that makes us lose hope but God is telling us fear not that He will come through for us so our hope should be sufficient.
Sufficiency in Holiness (2 Cor 6:14-18)
God wants us to be full of Him, He wants us to watch the way we live and do things as we must emulate Christ in all we do.
God is demanding sufficiency on giving from us we must give sufficiently in order to receive sufficiently from God too. God wants us too to give and giving is not restricted to money alone, you can give your time, service etc. also to God sufficiently and He will reward you in return sufficiently.
Prayers
- Lord, help us to always give sufficiently to You in all things

- Topic: Moving from Scarcity to Sufficiency
- Text: John 6:1-13
Message
As believers we should always have it in our minds that we will never be in Scarcity.
This topic would be seen from the following perspective:
- What is Scarcity?
- What is Sufficiency?
- How do I move from Scarcity to Sufficiency?
Scarcity is a state if a shortage supply of anything. It may be money, sleep, peace of mind etc. Money and everything can be scarce in your life but if the word of God is also scarce in your life as a believer, you will encounter problems.
Poverty is in the mind-set as believers we need to remove the mind-set of Scarcity
Signs of having a mind-set of Scarcity
When you compare yourself with others
When u find it difficult to be happy for someone
When success to you means beating someone else.
What is Sufficiency?
This means enough and more than enough in every area of life.
How can we move from Scarcity to Sufficiency?
-
- We need to move from concern to compassion: Jesus was full of concern when He saw the crowd, and so He was moved to compassion. He wasn't only concerned and sympathetic he showed compassion. Compassion is what God wants us to have Compassion causes us to act. (Prov.3:27-38) We need to speak up when we have solutions to problems as this is part of having compassion
- -We need to move from fact and fear to faith. We need to remember God for what He has done in time past, He didn't change He will do it again. We move from fear to faith by spending time with God's word. If you are in a state of fear, don't remain that way spend time with God's word to revive your spirit
We need to move hoarding to giving. We need to give especially as God has promised us Sufficiency. As believers we shouldn't hoard things we have especially if there are people around us who need those things. (2 Cor.8:1-9)
Let us not neglect the poor and the needy around us. We must endeavour to pray to God for the grace to give beyond our abilities.
We must move from being blessed to being a blessing. The miracle of multiplying is in our hands. (2Cor 9:3-8)Let us bring our everything to God with cheerfulness.
We need to move from wasting to saving. We need to give out what we don't want to avoid wastage.
We need to move from worrying to waiting. We need to stop worrying since God has promised us, it shall surely come to pass.
We should endeavour remove our mind-set from Scarcity to Sufficiency, then we will begin to see closed doors opening.
Prayers
- Grace to excel in giving beyond our abilities pour on us.
- Lord give us the grace to continually give ourselves to you always
- Lord give us the grace to seek your kingdom first in all things

- Text: Exodus 14:17-22, Matthew 6:24-34, Isaiah 16:8
Message
As believers, we must always rely on God to supply all our needs. As humans one of our greatest challenge in life is in the supply of our needs, we are always anxious about our wants and needs but God is telling us to relax and He shall supply them all.
There are steps we need to take in order for God to uncover our hidden paths for us:
Obedience- we must obey God even when we don’t understand what He is asking of us
Set God before you always: we must always put God before us, we must trust that He knows us and He will not lead us astray
Focus on God: we must always place our hopes on God and quit being anxious at all times. (Luke 9:10-17)
Look up to heaven (John 3:20, James 1:7): As believers we must always look up to heaven and not to men
We must make this valley full of ditches 2 kings 3:16-18, let God take over our lives, we shouldn’t worry He will do it.
Believe God's word and His promises (2 kings 7:1-2)

what is your relationship with God? If you say you know God, does God know you? * In our walk with Christ, we need to constantly ask ourselves who we are.
Our knowing God is about personal relationship and not about what we are doing. Knowing God is a matter of the heart. * Where are you serving? Are you serving God with your time? That talent that God has given you, how are you using it? * When God blesses you and you have treasures, you leave them behind in the world when we die, that's why while we are still alive we should make use of these treasures for God's glory, that's when it has eternal value.

- Topic: The Private Discipline that brings Public Reward
- Text: Matthew 6:2-7; 16-18, Isaiah 58:7-9; 11-12, 14
Message
Fasting is something that you decide there is no specific time allocated to fasting, as long as the situation demands it, do it.
God looks at the intent of our hearts, that's why we are being warned to not be like the hypocrites. God demands us to privately do good, and He shall reward us openly.
Prominence means visibility that is being obvious. As believers it has been promised that we shall break forth like the morning.
As believers it is not a time for us to be slothful, we should be committed to whatever we are doing so God can bless our efforts.
As believers, let righteousness go before us. We must make up our minds to always allow righteousness go before us. All those who have written us off will come back to bow before us as long as we allow righteousness go before us. We should always understand that a greater glory is coming.
Pronounced health, our healing shall spring forth speedily as promised by God to be a reward for believers.
Fasting brings great benefits especially pertaining healing. When you fast, you are cleaning up your system and it brings relief to us. It can help to break addiction to junk food. It is a spiritual exercise that has benefits.
Prayers
- Lord, give us the strength to fast
- Lord, help us to always examine our lives
- All that God knows we need, He will supply

Message
Why should we pray and Fast?
It will aid us to experience the miraculous. Do you want to experience the miraculous, then you need to exercise FAITH, PRAYER and FASTING.
As a believer, always endeavour to pray and fast so as to strengthen your spiritual life. It is a spiritual discipline but it will give us a reward outside.
As a believer to experience the miraculous always pray and fast in the closet and God will
Reward your efforts in the open.
We need to understand that as believers we have a divine assignment to fulfil but we cannot know nor be able to access it without seeking the face of the lord and we seek God's face by faith, prayer and fasting.

- Topic: Don't stop the Praise.
Praise is an expression of our love and devotion.
Praise is us responding to his presence.
Praise should go beyond the sing that we sing and the words of our mouth.
Praise should be a lifestyle.
Psalm 148: 5. Jeremiah 45: 1
We should be faithful and pursue faithfulness
Find God's plan and purpose for your life. And stay with it. Acts 16: 22.
Let's praise that we will consistently depend on him
That God will be our first option and only option.
We need to change our whole mind-set to living our whole life for praise. In the scenario of Paul and Silas in the prison as they weren't praising God to save them but they were just praising God because of the privilege to be in such situation because of God.
Daniel 3:13.
Let's consistently depend on God, irrespective of what's happening. Staring at death and the fact that they will be burnt they still stood their ground trusting that the out some will be Good. Deut 31:8.
Let's seek to understand what the will of God is for us. Trusting him completely.
Listening to what he has to say.
Even when the outcome is unknown to us let's trust him.
Everything we do let's do it that it will bring praise to God.

- Text: 2 Chronicles 20:1-30, Psalm 148:7, 1 Cor4:7, 1 Thess 5:16-18
Message
Human beings are naturally selfish and so we tend to focus more on the blessings that we don't have and we feel reluctant to thank him, as Christians we should always thank him because we have every reason to
What is Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is simply an expression of gratitude to God. Expression of gratitude can be verbal and non-verbal, verbally we praise God with our mouth, and non-verbally we praise God with our hearts, our actions.
Our gratitude must not always be verbal, it can also be non-verbal and acceptable to God and it must come from our heart.
Who should give thanks to the lord?
Let everything praise the lord both living and non-living. It is expected that every creature should praise the lord.
Why is Thanksgiving to God for my good?
- Because thanksgiving is commanded by God. Thanksgiving is for our good.
- Thanksgiving crucifies our pride.
- Praise and thanksgiving attracts God's presence.
- Thanksgiving and praise changes our spiritual climate.
- It provokes God to action on our behalf
Prayers

- Topic: Acceptable Praises and Worship
- Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:15-23
Message
It is an accepted fact that we should praise God but the issue is how to praise God to be acceptable by Him.
How can we praise and worship God acceptably?
We must do it joyfully: acceptable praise and worship must be with a deep seethed joy in our heart (Neh 8:1-10). As a child of God let nothing take away your joy.
We must be prayerful: we must pray without ceasing by reporting everything to God. Don't think anything is too small or big to report to God, be prayerful.
We must be thankful: when you look at your situation no matter what, you are still doing better than some people so we must be thankful. Always see a reason to thank God because God is good.
We must be Spirit-ful: make sure in all you do you are being led by the spirit. Make sure to feed your spirit man with the word of God. Anything that will make the spirit in you not active, run away from it. We need to make up our minds to submit to the spirit if God in order to praise and worship Him in an acceptable manner.
When the spirit of God places something in your heart always yield to Him. Regardless of your situations in life always endeavor to always praise the lord.
Prayers
- Lord, let no circumstance take away your joy in our lives

- Topic: God deserves your Praises and Worship
- Text: Psalm 148:1-14, Rev. 4:9-11, Psalm 50:14-23
Message
What is praise and why should we give it to God?
The Bible said offer it unto God. Praise means value, price or worth. So whatever you consider to have value and worth is what you praise. Anything that have the fear of God is worthy of praise.
When you know God has value in your life, you have no choice but to praise Him.
To praise is a form of commendation, approval etc. you give to something or someone you find worthy.
As believers we must learn to appreciate God always. We must learn to give Him praise and worship.
When you offer praises to God, you are glorifying Him.
Why must we give Him praise? He demands it. You must determine to give God praise whether you like it or not. Always appreciate God regardless of how you see your situation. Offer to Him sacrifice of thanksgiving. He owns all of us and all the things in heaven and on earth so we need to praise Him for it all.
Always endeavor to give God His due, because without God we are nothing. We must also praise Him because He is superior to all other gods. We must praise Him for our redemption.
Are you a member of the family of God? This is another reason to praise God.
We must praise God in truth and sincerity not in deceit or falsehood, pay your vows. We must worship God in absolute trust.
Whatsoever we do, we must know that God is too faithful to fail us.
Prayers
- Lord, help us to always see a reason to praise you.
- Lord, help us to trust you fully.
- Lord help us to always know that you will always come through for us.

Topic: What Seeketh thou?
Text: Mark 10:46-52, John 1: 35-42, 1 Kings 3:4
God is asking us as Christians, what we seek? The way and manner we answer that question determines everything we do in every spheres of our lives. Some asks god for things that does not please him, they only ask god for things that are beneficial to them, and when god answers, they forget about god. That should not be our attitude as Christians, we should not seek god only because of what we get from him but should seek god diligently at all times.
All we need is to have a connection with our maker, so that when we seek him, we will be able to find him. We should seek god by praying, fasting, reading the word of god, and being a good Christian.
Prayer
I need thee every hour
most gracious lord,
No tender voice like thee
Can peace afford
Chorus
I need thee, oh i need thee
Every hour i need thee
Oh bless me now my Saviour
I come to thee
I need thee every hour
stay thou near by
Temptation lose their power
When thou art nigh
I need thee every hour
in joy or pain
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain
I need thee every hour
teach me thy will
And thy rich promises
In me fulfill
I need thee every hour
most holy one
Oh, make me thine indeed

- Topic: Note His Unusual ways of Help
- Text: 1 Cor 1:22-29
Message
God tend to answer our call for help in unimaginable ways. God works in a seemingly absurd way, He brings impossible things together and make them possible. He works in mysterious ways.
There are situations and circumstances where God suspended nature just for His word to take cause. As human beings any situation that comes suddenly and is not to our favour, our natural reaction is fear but as believers what we do in that situation is what matters, do you allow it to control you? Or. Do you take it to God in prayers?
As individuals we should already know and be familiar to how God speaks to us. As believers we are supposed to always take steps of faith in ensuring that God's plan come to pass in our lives.
As believers we should always learn to listen and obey so as not to miss what God has in store for us.
Prayers
- Lord, help us to always trust in your ways
- Lord, help us to listen and obey you

Topic: Refuse to be confused, Refuse to be intimidated
Text:2 Chronicles 20:1-5, 13-21
Message
Challenges will always come at one point or the other but nothing should cause us to be confused or intimidated as children if God. When they come it should always be in our hearts as children if God that this challenge shall not overcome us. When challenges come and you are settled in your heart that you are right with God, you can boldly then wait on the lord to come through for us.
The fact that you are challenged or things are not the way it should be is not the issue, the issue is that how do you deal with these things. As children of God when we are confused or intimidated, we should always talk to God who is omniscience. Do not allow circumstances and situations make you forget you have God, He will never leave nor forsake you.
We should always remember that there is a God who is always working in our favour and draw boldness from this fact. God knows all things and He can do all things, always remember this. Always recall what God has done in time past, if He did it before, He will surely do it again. For you to always call upon the lord it shows that you are dependent on God, be humble enough to always seek God's face in all you do. As children if God we should endeavour to fast and wait on the lord.
As a child of God and you cannot fast at least once a week, there is trouble.
Do you know your God? Are you working in God in righteousness or are you just doing your own?

- Topic: When the Lord is your Shepherd
- Text: Obadiah 1:17-21, psalm 23:1-6
Message
A Shepherd is a person he cares for sheep. How does a sheep behave? They are naturally defenceless against predators. They cannot do anything to protect themselves. The only thing a sheep knows to do well is to follow the Shepherd. They don’t follow strangers because they can only understand the Shepherd.
Where sheep does not have a Shepherd guiding it, the wander away without direction thereby endangering themselves.
A Shepherd comes to protect the sheep, he is always available to give direction to the sheep. The sheep obeys only a Shepherd because over time it recognizes the voice of the Shepherd. The Shepherd is very valuable to the live of sheep, without a Shepherd they can’t survive for long. The sheep lives without worry or concern because the Shepherd takes care of all their needs.
The Shepherd takes care of the safety and welfare of his sheep. A sheep does not give up on a lost sheep.
As believers we also just like the sheep need to trust our Shepherd completely. We need to trust and rely on the lord for our overall welfare. We need to surrender and depend on the Shepherd.
We also need to obey the Shepherd as the sheep does because on our own, we can do nothing.
God's rod and staff guides and directs us. For a sheep to enjoy security it has to be where his Shepherd wants it to be at any point in time.
As believers we should endeavour to be like a sheep in our Christian lives and not like a goat that is very stubborn and does what it wants. We should always try to exhibit the traits of a sheep and not that of a goat. We should yield ourselves to the lord always.
As believers what is our security dependent on? Do we have a Shepherd or we wander aimlessly on our own, is the lord truly your Shepherd are you bring led by Him?
As Christians we must always abide and stand in the Lord.
Prayers
- Lord help me to always listen to you
- Teach me to hear and understand your words, wills and ways.
- Lord help us to obey like the sheep

Texts: Psalm 91;1-6, 1 Corinthians 14, Psalm 121: 4-6, Psalm 23: 3-4, Mathew 28:20, Luke 24:49
Security is a state of being free from danger or threat. It is possible for us as Christians to be safe amidst all the bad happening around us because of the promise of security God has assured us as Christians.
SECURITY AS CHRISTIANS IS FOR THE FAITHFUL NOT FEARFUL
HOW IS THE HOLY SPIRIT OUR REAL SECURITY?
- We need to constantly ask for the refreshing of the Holy Spirit in order to key into this real security.
- We need the Holy Spirit as its importance cannot be overemphasized in our lives as Christians.
HOW IS SECURITY A PROMISE FOR THE FAITHFUL AND NOT THE FEARFUL?
- THE FAITHFUL ARE THOSE THAT HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST and that promise of the security is for the faithful at heart not everyone.

MAIN TEXT: GENESIS 39:1-23.
TEXTS: Galatians 1:10; Ephesians 6:6, 1 Corinthians 4:2-3, Genesis 41:37, 40, 44 ; Genesis 45:5.
- Acts of Bravery
As Christians we must have total dependence in God coupled with the boldness to stand firm in our beliefs.
- Acts of Courage
The ultimate goal as a Christian is to win the battle of life without conforming to the dictates, practices and standards of the world.
- Stand in the face of pain
Exemplary characters worthy of emulation are Job and Joseph. Joseph stood firm in his faith refusing to fall a victim to the advances of Potiphar wife, but his faithfulness and steadfastness was greatly rewarded by God through his promotion and favour in the sight of Pharaoh and men. He also showed great courage and was totally dependent on God’s directions and directives never drifting away from his path.
-
We must stand out, be courageous and aim to please God not men. For men pleasers have no inheritance with God.
-
As Christians we must never compromise in order to adopt the fashion of this world but instead we should be innovative and embrace better ways to aid the propagation of the gospel and the winning of more souls to the flock.
-
We must be stand firm unwavering from our faith and beliefs to avoid averting God’s plans for our lives
Prayer points
· We pray for the courage not to conform to the standard of the world.
· We cast away all fears that induce failure.
· We ask for God’s grace and strength to help us to be courageous and to stand firm in our beliefs as Christians.

Text: Luke 9:23 ;14:25-28, John 8:31
Message
As believers we don’t just give our lives to Christ, we also have to submit our wills.
We need to see God's words and see ourselves first in it before others. We need to abide by God and all His plans for us. Let us endeavor to come to the point where God is enough for us. Take off your cross daily. As Christians, our faith cannot continue to be a ‘me' centred faith. We shouldn’t put all our focus here on earth, as believers what ever we do, we need to put eternity into consideration.
Let us endeavor as believers to always live right by God in all we do because that is all that matters.
Prayers
- Lord, allow us to know that you have to be enough for us
- Lord help our minds and our wills
- Lord strengthen our faith
Topic: Good Intentions, Bad Intentions, God’s Intervention
Text: Daniel 6:1-23
Message
An intention is an idea, a proposal or a promise made to someone to do out of pleasure. Good intentions in most cases are always targeted by the enemies, they always want to thwart it. As believers we should always strife to improve our skills so as to stand out, we must keep learning so as to be qualified for things that we are due for.
We are not too old to improve ourselves. As believers we should endeavor to always look at the life of Daniel in our journey towards excellence. As believers we must stand out and they must know us as children of God in our place of work.
God’s intervention comes in various ways. As believers, we should endeavor to not be overwhelmed by the bad intentions around us because God's intervention will always prevail.
Prayers
- Lord let us enjoy your interventions in our lives
- Lord allow good intentions prevail over bad intentions in our lives
- Lord what ever the evil intentions, I shall escape

What does it mean to Dwell – it means residing, abiding, living etc. living in peace is a function of internal and external factors classified as peace takers and peace givers.
