Sermon Text: Matthew 28:18-20(NIV)
Go! is an instruction. He is backing us when he said we should go and spread the good news.

Minister: Rev. Mike Oluwadipe
Sermon Topic: DIVINE MULTIPLICATION THROUGH THE SPREADING OF GOODNEWS
Sermon Text:Matt 28:18-20
Go ye Therefore and Preach the Gospel!
When you are reconciled to God, you are given a ministry.
To go out and propagate the gospel is a sign of love. The Lord is not saying love the Brethren alone, neither is He saying do not love the sinners, He is saying Love one another for love is of God.
To empower means to give ability to something. to release power to function. to receive power and grace to function.
When Christ was leaving he was not expecting us to give excuse that's why He gave us Power. Acts 1:8, 10:38.
If Christ functioned in Power he expects us to function in the same power. Matthew 10:1-2, Luke 10:19.
We have been given the Spirit of Power. The Gospel cannot be fully preached except without the Spirit of the Power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:5. Without the preaching of the word, the Kingdom of God would not expand to the communities of the world. When we have the Spirit of Power the result would be evident without doubt.
ACCESSING THE SPIRIT OF POWER
- A man would make up his mind not just to be born again but must follow Jesus in Discipleship.
God's power with not rest upon seaters and sleepers, but with goers.
- Desire the Gift of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:7. The gift of the holy Spirit is the divine ability to function exceedingly or do certain things well. You must covet the gift of the Holy Spirit for you to receive it.
God needs us to get to the peak of your hunger for him to fill you.
-
we have to give ourselves to the reading and studying of the word of God. 2 Timothy 2:15. The Holy Spirit is the work man, the word of God is the Tool. The Holy Spirit is Ineffective without the word of God. Soaking ourselves in the word of God makes us available tools for God.
-
Pray for the Spirit of Power. The secret of Power is Prayer. A man who has prayed well has preached well.
Before you talk to men about God, talk to God about men. Acts 13:1-3.
- Faith. You would have to believe in the power. Hebrews 11:8.
It is the responsibility of every generation to reach their Generation for Jesus.
Unbelievers are not so hard to minister to, we are just powerless in the place of prayer.
Facilitator: 'Dupe Adebanjo Topic: His Approval, My Choice Text: Ps. 128:1- 6 The greatest ethics in the Christian community, is the ethics of sacrifice and not success. When success becomes our primary measuring mode, our propensity to error is almost constant. Luke 21:1-4.
The Power of Choice We'll always have the power to choose but the probable consequence(s) of our choices may not primarily be within our power or control. Jude 1:5-7.
The Power of Choice God does not remove the freedom of choice from us when we misuse it, neither is He likely to remove the consequence(s), even when we ignore them.
Relationships across the board must be by choice and not by force. Despite knowing what is in their best interest at any given point in time, we can persuade but we mustn't take the power of choice from people.
The passport to righteousness is by surrendering our lives to Jesus.
Jesus laid all our iniquities upon himself and gave up His garment for suffering and shame.
The pattern through which HIS blood is made atonement for our souls
- It creates access to the Most Holy Place by obtaining eternal redemption. Heb.9:14-26
The Most Holy Place signifies God's holy place which is inaccessible to men except by the blood.
- It gives a life-giving spirit restoring death to life 1 cor. 10:45
The death and blood of Jesus the Most Holy Priest activated our entrance to the Most Holy Place.
FoursquareJeb #easter2022 #TheWord
Acts 3:1-10
The Holy Spirit is the 3rd person of the Trinity.
This Holy Spirit is the engine room to the miraculous. The Holy spirit is the flavor, life, joy, power, behind every believer.
2 King 3:20
What is Supernatural Miracles?
It is type of manifestation attributed to a force beyond scientific understanding
What is a Miracle?
This is a remarkable development that brings about very welcome consequences.
THE HEIGHT OF MERCY IS THE REVELATION OF CHRIST.
SIN HAD SHUT THE DOOR ON MAN AT THE BEGINNING.
MAN FELL SHORT OF THE DICTATE OF GOD.
Sacrifice of praise is the fruit of our heart that manifest on our lips.
Whatever doesn't cost Nothing gives NOTHING!
Faith is beyond confession.
Believing is even beyond prayers.
Faith is an understanding of who God really is.
"You need to understand the person of God.
Rest is sponsored from an Understanding of Jesus.
You need spiritual insight to grow in the wisdom and knowledge of God".
Treasures are valuable. Treasure are kept in places that are hidden. Treasure attaches great value. Isaiah 45:3
Treasure is defined as a collection of valuable things such as gold, silver, jewellery.
A treasure is a person who is loved by God and valued by God.
"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the highest shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."
For great and mighty things to manifest this season.
The following processes must be adhered to;
DESIRE, PURSUE and POSSESS.
If you don’t fuel or power your car, it will not take you to where you want to be. God wants us ablaze in the delivery of His service. A man may know Psalm 23, but you need to know the God of the Psalm. If you want your life to count you must be ablaze.
Talent is not enough. If the fire of God is not on our lips our messages may not make impact. God will only use us when we are set on fire. Our best isn’t good enough without fire.
We must all discover the place of his presence. We must be given to prayers. We must not be busy, our oil must be fresh to make a difference. Psalm 92:10. Fire is unction from above that makes us to be above. Acts 10:38, Leviticus 6: 12-13. The fire must not go out. It must be made to burn every morning. Revelations 5:10.
Energy get drained. Luke 8:46. Input must keep up with the outflow. When we have time for secular things than spiritual we get drained.
There must be daily hunger for the word. Isaiah 55:1. There is a price to pay for power. Psalm 63:1-2.
Whatever you are doing now is a preparation for where God is taking you. Keep the fire of private prayer burning.
Wait on God in prayer and fasting. Isaiah 40:31. Have a time to wait on God every week. To renew is to exchange your weakness for his own strength. Take time to pray in the Holy Ghost. Jude 1:20.
Draw help from fellowship. Hebrews 10:25. The back slider is full of himself. Psalm 84:7.
Your company determines what accompanies you. Keep company with those who are willing to make heaven.

THEME: PUT AWAY STRANGE GODS
TOPIC: BIBLICAL DEMAND FOR GOD’S BLESSING
TEXT: GENESIS 35:1-7
Every battle is preceded by a sound of trumpet. When God is about to do something special in the lives of people He calls them apart. It is my responsibility to prepare for God’s visitation. 2 chronicles 27:6
If God is calling for consecration He wants to do something. Genesis 16:16, 17:1. There was 33 years of broken fellowship and God had to call him to a life of consecration.
Many of us are just casual visitors to God. Our lives must be put right with God. The fact that demon bow before you or sicknesses are healed doesn’t mean your life is right with God.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GOD’S BLESSINGS. HOSEA 6:1
Four “R’s”
-RETURN -REVIVAL -RAISING UP -RAIN
RETURN: it is to go back to the place where you dedicated your life, the place of departure.
It is going back to God from back sliding. Deuteronomy 30:1-2. It is to return from exile. Return to the place of service. Psalm 100:2.
Our Return must be TOTAL. 2Chronicles 6:36-37
REVIVAL: Revival is God coming down. It starts with consecration. We need to live right to experience the move of God. God doesn’t come until the way is prepared for Him.
Return to the Lord paves way for revival.
RAISING UP: God Helps us rise.
RAIN: Rain is a blessings. The former rain comes at the time of planting. The latter shows double blessings. Open heaven is certain only to the pure. Jeremiah 4:3. Until there is a break up there can’t be a breakthrough. Malachi 1:6-12.
THEME: WEALTH TRANSFER
TOPIC: FAITH FOR WEALTH TRANSFER
TEXT: Deuteronomy 8:10-18; Isaiah 61:6
Faith simply means acting on God's words no matter how foolish it looks. Man is naturally selfish and self centered.

Abraham. Genesis 12:35
-
Isaac. Genesis 26:12
-

Sermon Topic: What is Diligence and why is it important?
The only reason why you worry is because you put yourself in a situation where God never placed you.
Diligence in one word means hard work. Nobody gives greatness to an idle man.
On your part to living a life of success, diligence is not negotiable. Diligence is investing your abilities, capabilities, skills in the pursuit of your vision. It is investing all that you have in the pursuit of God’s vision for you.

Minister: Pastor Mrs. Oladeinde
Text: Phil 2: 5-8, Proverbs 23:7, Romans 8: 5-8.
A carnal man cannot see anything attractive in the mind of Christ. He/she can’t understand the mind of Christ because his mind is darkened and whatever he does cannot please God. Romans 6:6-7; This passage describes the nature of man as “Old man”. The “old man” died the moment we accepted Christ, so we must come to the understanding that the flesh has been crucified with Christ on the cross. The enemy of the mind of Christ are those who are against God been in control of their mind.
Minister: Pastor Mrs. Oladeinde
Text: Phil 2: 5-8, Proverbs 23:7.
Every action of a man is as a result of his mind. The outward appearance of a man is as a result of the inward thinking of his mind. Our attitude is crucial if we must have the Mind of Christ. Without operating with the mind of Christ we would be like strangers to Christ.
The Mind of Christ is Limitless. We see Forgiveness, Compassion and Mercy when we look in the Mind of Christ. (Luke 23:34). The entrance of the word of God is what gives light. Bitterness is not in the mind of Christ, you cannot be bitter and be better. The nature of Christ is clean and pure, iniquity doesn’t dwell in the mind of Christ . (Phil 2:5)

TEXT: Hebrews 1:1-14
Hebrews 1:8-9, The life of Jesus christ is "Love righteousness and Hate iniquity".
"A man of God that will operate at any level is based on the level he has submitted to God".
Luke 10:38-42.
38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.
39She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said.
40But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
41“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things,
42but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
THE WORD OF HIS POWER.
"The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven." - Hebrews 1:3 (NIV)

Things we must know about love
-
God is love. Love that is strong genuine, brotherly must be our mark of identification. LOVE IN PRACTICE IS WHAT MAKES US TO RESEMBLE THE FATHER.
-
Loving is living. 1 John 4:5 Whoever doesn't Love is dwelling in darkness. Those who carry light for others to see cannot keep it from themselves. HE called us to love because we have the ability to Love. When you live in love, you are living in the light. The brighter you Love, the bigger you Light.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2
