A people trained and equipped to become like Christ and bring all of His purposes to the FINISH. We are being prepared for manifestation and the return of the King.
Explore the offensive and defensive positions of spiritual warfare in this thought-provoking message. Drawing from Ephesians 6:10-18, we delve into the battlefields of the heart, life, family, and society, examining how to fight for your identity and against the residues of the fallen man—timidity, lust, and greed. '
Join us as we seek strength in the Spirit and pray, “Father, help me to stand in my offensive and defensive positions.”
In this series, our Lead Steward, Olumide Fred' Adetiba guides us into a profound teaching on the significance of living from eternity. As believers in Christ, we are no longer bound by time or the systems of this world. Instead, God calls us to walk in His wisdom, living intentionally and purposefully.
Join us as we delve into God's transformative Word, learning to navigate life with eternal perspective and clarity.
In this teaching, Olumide Fred' Adetiba taught why we should Live from Eternity. In Christ, we are no longer slaves of time and the output of lives must spring forth from the Input of God to us to live in time.
We pray that you will be transformed by this teaching and live in your true identity as it is in heaven.

In this next aspect of our Identity Series, we see that God wants us to come to a place where we are more convinced than any iota of doubt.
Don’t overemphasise your internal circumstances over the word of God.
You will also learn how you can become convicted.
Identity and Purpose go hand in hand.
If God defines you as an elite force, there is a purpose to it.
You need to own your identity so you can work in the fullness of the authority that you have.
Listen to the final part of this series.
If you do not understand your identity you will not understand your purpose.
You must contend for who you really are in God’s heart.
The battle is very subtle when it comes to your identity.
Listen to the third part of our Identity Series.
We must be careful in our walk with God in this season. Don’t let the enemy use what is already yours to tempt you. God is preparing you for the future.
It is important to know who you are. Resist every temptation and every urge to live less than who you are.
Listen to the second part of our series on Identity and Alternate Reality where we learn about living on Earth according to God's will.
Live by heavenly standards and principles while living in time.
We must be more alive to our alternate reality because that is where your true self emanated from.
Every time God speaks He has expectations.
When God speaks He wants to see the effect of His communication on earth.
God’s word contains the power and energy to come to pass. God’s word is potent.
The proceeding word of God has the power to instantly cause effect in our personal lives.
Faith must be accompanied by works for it to produce. Faith must precede your works.
Don’t start with work and expect faith to catch up. Start with Faith.
Spiritual intelligence is the use of spiritual information sourced through the Holy Spirit to solve everyday problems and effect divine will on earth.
The more we draw closer to God, the more flesh and self are sacrificed.
The more flesh and self we sacrifice, the more we can walk in alignment with God – As It Is In Heaven.
This is how we increasingly become aligned with DIVINE DESIGN.

Don't wait until you have all the money in the world before giving. There is always something to give.
The validity of our Christianity is becoming like Christ. The true test of our Christianity is how much we become like Christ. We'll be judged by to what extent we become like the person of Christ.
Continue to trust God to remove those things that clog our Body and soul from aligning with the Spirit.
What are the things you want to see in place in your life?
The plan of your divine design defines your identity and your purpose.
When you have this picture that is what you present to God as your prayer issues.
You get the design from the heart of the Father.
You are a divine design and you cannot continue to live less than you have been designed to be.
If God took His time to design temples that were meant to serve His purpose for a limited period of time, how much more your life that carried His purposes in time and for all of eternity?
Jesus is not just the reason for Christmas. Jesus is the reason for our existence.
It is in Him we live and move and have our being.
He is the reason for every season.
Christ brings meaning and purpose to our lives.
God is calling us to functional maturity, the maturity that is useful.
Functional maturity is others benefiting from what we carry.
There is so much pressure on marriages in our world today. These pressures test the patience with people and cause some to fall apart. This message is to get you to build internal structures in our individual lives and our marriages so we can prepare for the challenges ahead of us.
We should do marriage according to God's original design. The world is defining a lot of things, and marriage is one of them. For our marriages to thrive, we need to do it as God has ordered it to be.
Receive wisdom to build your marriage according to God's original design.
Everything God builds has order and structure. The divine order gives form and definition to every area of our lives, including marriage.
Any belief that does not emanate from the Word of God is invalid.
You cannot change your behaviour if you don’t change the operating system.
You need to change your belief, when you change that your attitude and behaviour will change.
If you don’t break those limiting beliefs you will not come into the now future.
The biggest move God ever made on man is putting Christ on the cross.
You can own everything and own nothing at the same time.
The documentation called the Bible is not the anchor of your faith. The Word of God is your anchor. Jesus is your perfect theology.
Be committed to the new in the midst of the old.
Let God be your validation and not accolades of men.
Men can validate you out of God’s purpose.
In the wilderness of this life let your voice be heard.
You are the authentic voice of God in the world today.
Having determined thinking systems, attitudes, postures will enable us to walk accurately towards the end of time. God wants us to attain a level of maturity and perfection before Jesus comes. We are required to walk in finalized maturity on the earth in this season.
The pathway of Christ to the earth is through the portal of our lives. The crookedness in our hearts must be removed and corrected to facilitate and create a smooth path for the return of Jesus Christ.
We are using Elijah to understand that dimension of the power of God because He was the first person who operated in that dimension of God.
We are going to be bringing out false systems and structures that are keeping believers as babies.
We cannot function without the spirit and power of Elijah.
Anytime there is corruption, deception and falsehood on the earth. He sends the spirit and power of Elijah.
Until the work of reformation is done, the world will not feel the impact of the Church. What God wants to do is on the inside of everyone of us. If we let him work on our inside, He can work on the internal structures of the church.
We want Christ to come, and part of what we need to do to activate His coming is to fulfil all outstanding prophetic declarations.
One way we hasten the day of the Lord is to fulfil all prophetic intent.
There is a lot in the heart of God for us. It’s about what He has to say and what He wants us to do.
God wants us to be established in these last days. We must be careful of different extremes, both negative and positive, that can take us out the pathway.
To deepen the understanding of our assignment here on earth. To possess a clear picture of our final destination. To be firmly established on the path of truth and eternal life. To remain unshaken and fortified in the face of adversity and the crisis in the last days. To avoid being carried about by every wind of doctrine. Context shapes everything. Every season determine accurate activity.
How much of God do you know to trust Him?
We don’t move first to hear God later. We hear God first before we move.
Don’t pursue without hearing.
Don’t compartmentalize trust, don’t decide where to trust God.
Trust is a risk! But it is one worth taking with God.
Our service to God must not be contaminated. For us to give an acceptable sacrifice to God, it has to be from His heart. Stay in the secret place to know what is in His heart.
God’s approval counts not wealth, not fame.
Never come to that place where you feel you are self sufficient.
Your prosperity does not imply validity. God’s approval is better.
The hallmark of maturity is unity.
Without maturity, we can’t attain unity.
The height of maturity is interdependence.
Maturity drives unity.
There is a dimension of corporateness that God is looking out for.
You can’t use those dimensions to elevate self.
The dimension of the power God wants to release is not the kind that you appropriate to yourself.
There is a corporateness that is required for us to access those dimensions in God.
Unity is the spiritual technology of the finish.
Unity is a powerful spiritual technology that is required for the finish.
Sin is dealt with in the outer court, flesh is dealt with in the Holy Place, and self is dealt with in the Most Holy Place.
Christlikeness is in your DNA. You were made in the image and likeness of God.
It is the Most Holy Place that we become more like Him and everything we see is Him.
The Most Holy Place is the place of the divine nature where you are not concerned about bread or your needs but the nature of God.
New sight of God and a new appreciation of who we are.
Deliverance from wrong self concept and lingering wrong identity.

When you are in alignment with the heart of God, everything will fall in line for you in time - on earth.
When you dream a thing and it manifests in the earth God is revealing a part of Him he wants to see in the earth.
There is spirit that will be poured upon the people that will be able to dream about what is from heaven and they are able to build according to blueprint.
God is saying you are empowered to set things in order in your life
He wants us to set thing in order in His stead.
If we don’t set things in order in our lives we cannot set things in order in our families and in the world.
He has given us capacity to create and to set things in order because He has made me in His image, His nature and his character.
He has empowered you to set things in order in your city, in your nation and in the world.
Nothing grand and meaningful comes out of ease.
It’s heat that may bring out the beauty of your life.

The coming of the Lord, even if it surprises the world will not surprise us.
His Coming In Us ahead of Coming for Us.
The evidence of His coming in us is the transformation of our lives.
The reason His ultimate coming will not surprise you is because He is coming in us.
Because He is already in us and when He eventually appears we will know.
The validity of your salvation process is in who you are becoming.
