👤 PASTOR CHRIS *SATURDAY, 29TH JANUARY 2022* *TOPIC: OPEN YOUR HEART TO TRUTH* SCRIPTURE 📖:  Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. THE MESSAGE In John 7:2-5, we read about the unbelief and opposition of the brothers of Jesus against Him during the Feast of Tabernacles: “…’Go where your followers can see your miracles!’ they scoffed. ‘You can’t become a public figure if you hide like this! If you can do such wonderful things, prove it to the world!’” (John 7:3-4 NLT). Verse 5 says specifically, “For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.” There’s no doubt that His brothers would have heard from their mother about the miraculous birth of Jesus and the amazing stories of His childhood. Their father Joseph must have told them about how he received angelic visitations several times concerning Jesus. Yet, they didn’t believe in Jesus. This tells us something: Believing is with the heart. You...

Speak 🗣️ “I  am  crucified  with  Christ,  nevertheless  I live;  yet  not  I,  but  Christ  liveth  in  me,  and the  life  which  I  now  live  in  the  flesh,  I  live by  the  faith  of  the  Son  of  God,  who  loved me  and  gave  himself  for  me”.  (Galatians 2:20) The  life  I  am  living  now  is  not  a continuation of the old life that was nailed to  the  cross  with  Christ;  I  arose  with  Christ out  of  that  tomb with the resurrection life in me!  I  am  dead  to  sin,  and  that  means  that  I am  dead  to  not  only  sin,  but  the  effects  of sin,  which  inc...

👤 PASTOR CHRIS *SATURDAY,JANUARY 29TH 2022*  TOPIC: IT’S A DEEP, INTUITIVE FEELING (When You Know It’s Time For A Change) TO THE BIBLE 📖:  Daniel 10:12 NASB “…He said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.”” LET’S TALK 🗣️  Somehow, Blake just “knew” he had to have things turn around in his life. It wasn’t a fearful thought in his mind or worrisome feeling in his soul but just a deep, intuitive knowledge in his spirit that he couldn’t get rid of. So he took some time out, during the month, to pray and fast as well as study the Bible. As a result, significant areas of his life received an upgrade, with certain unfavourable events averted in his life and the lives of his family. Whenever you perceive in your spirit about things concerning your home, academics, finances, health, or ministry, ...

Romans 5:18-19 NIV “Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.” Under the Old Testament, God’s blessings for the children of Israel were based on their obedience to the Law of Moses. They had to keep every part of that Law just to enjoy the benefits of the covenant God struck with Abraham. However, they couldn’t keep His laws and, as such, couldn’t enjoy the blessings. Thank God Jesus came – He made things different for us today in the New Testament. According to Colossians 1:12, you’ve been made a sharer of the blessings and benefits of the Kingdomlife reserved for all God’s children. This happened the moment you were born again. You don’t have to try to “obey” the Law for God to bless you today; you were born...

Speak 🗣️ The  Bible  says  in  1  Peter  1:23  that  Iam “…born  again,  not  of  corruptible  seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which  liveth  and  abideth  forever”.  The seed  is  the  life  giving  principle  of  an organism;  inotherwords, it's  sperm.  I  know that  this  means  I  was  born  again  by  the “sperm” of  God,  the  life-giving  principle  of God! The  essence  of  God's  life  and  nature  is  what I  have  in  me.  Glory  to  God!  That  sperm  of God abides in me and this is the reason why I  refuse  to  accept  sickness  or  disease  in  my body.  I  was  born  again  of  incorr...

👤 PASTOR CHRIS. *FRIDAY, 28TH JANUARY 2022 TOPIC: COMPETENT FOR ANY TASK  (The Grace For Excellence Is Yours!) TO THE BIBLE 📖 2 Corinthians 9:8 “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.” LET'S TALK 🗣️ Every Christian has the grace to excel in everything. God is able to direct all the grace you require for anything in this life towards you, such that you’re never behind in competence or ability. You’re qualified for any task; that’s what it means to have “all sufficiency in all things”; it means you have all the competencies and special skills required for excellence in every good work. The word translated “sufficiency” in 2 Corinthians 9:8 is the Greek “autarkeia” which means competence. This indicates a state of self-sufficiency whereby you require no aid or support. God has given you a life that makes you so competent that you don’t require any help! You ca...

👤 PASTOR CHRIS *FRIDAY 28TH JANUARY 2022* TOPIC:VICTORY ASSURED Scripture 📖:  1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where unto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. THE MESSAGE In 2 Timothy 4:7, the Apostle Paul said, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” What fight was he talking about? He refers to it in our opening verse: “the good fight of faith.” No matter what happens in your life—in the world, or around you—refuse to be broken, disillusioned or overwhelmed; use your faith! Your faith is the victory that overcomes the world and its failures, corruption, darkness, wickedness and decadence. Every adversity you face is your opportunity for a testimony as you use your formidable arsenal: the shield of faith. That’s the one you’re counselled to take on above all the others: “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench...

"...He said to them, Why are you disturbed and troubled, and why do such doubts and questionings arise in your hearts?" (LUKE 24:38 AMPC) Many hardly take the time to review their own thinking process, and how their minds work. A mind that's not renewed with the Word will often come up with some of the weirdest thoughts. Such minds are filled with negativism. For example, some people always wonder, "What's the catch?" when they get a gift from a friend. They think it'll be to their advantage if they don't find out the reason behind it.

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (ACTS 1:8) Have you ever thought about the fact that God chose you before you were born, to be His witness? He knew you and foreordained you to live for His glory. The Bible says, "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son...." (Romans 8:29). God foreordained and planned that through you, He'll bless and transform the lives of those in your world and in regions beyond. He set you apart to do His will, and to be His witness.  The Apostle Paul, understanding this, echoed the same message in Galatians 1:15-16: "But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen...." Paul's passion ...

👤 PASTOR CHRIS  TUESDAY, 25TH JANUARY 2022 TOPIC: “THE BEST NEWS ON EARTH  (God Loves Everybody!)” SCRIPTURE 📖  John 3:16-17 MSG “This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.” THEMESSAGE. The Bible says, “…God has shown us how much he loves us—it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!” (Romans 5:8 GNB). This is inarguably the best and greatest news on earth: that He loved us while we were still sinners. And because of His love, He sent Jesus to save us from destruction, sin and judgement. Praise God! Romans 5:6 AMPC says, “While we were yet in weakness [powerless to help ourselves], at the fitting time Christ died for (in behalf of...

Speak 🗣️ I  am  a  partaker  of  the  divine  nature.  I  am vitally  participating  everyday  in  the  divine experience.  In  my  mind,  my  spirit  and  my body,  the  divine  nature  of  God  is manifested.  That  divine  nature  produces health  in  my  body,  and  rest  in  my  soul.  It causes  me to  live  above  the  principles  of  the world.  It  makes  me  a  master  over  the corrupting influences of the world. Because I  am  vitally  involved  in  the  nature  of  God, there  is  no  corruption  or  stagnation  in  my life;  my  mind  is  fresh  everyday  and  full  of the  tho...

👤 Pastor Chris                                                                        TOPIC: “ITEMS OF BLESSINGS” Scripture 📖 Acts 5:15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. THE MESSAGE When God blesses you, He blesses everything that’s connected to you, be it your money, clothes, properties, etc.; they become items and conduits of blessings. Think about that. We read how handkerchiefs and aprons taken from the body of Paul healed the sick: “And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them” (Acts 19:11-12). Th...

👤 PASTOR CHRIS *MONDAY, 24TH JANUARY 2022* TOPIC: THE ACCUMULATED BLESSINGS  (Lay Claim To Your Stored-Up Blessings And Inheritance)” TO THE BIBLE 📖 Matthew 6:9-11 “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.” *THE MESSAGE* The Master taught His disciples to pray, following the pattern in the scripture above. He didn’t say to them, “Pray this prayer”; rather, He told them to pray “in this manner.” This was before He completed His redemptive work. Today, He’s made salvation available to all—both the Jews and non-Jews—we need not pray to God anymore to give us our daily bread because He’s already done it! The whole point of the scripture above is that it shows us that there’s a daily allocation of blessings for us from heaven. Every Christian is born with, and into, a glorious inheritance in Christ. Sadly, a lot of God’s children have nev...

  👤 PASTOR CHRIS *MONDAY 24TH JANUARY 2022*  TOPIC:THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST       SCRIPTURE 📖   2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. The Judgment Seat of Christ is different from the Great White Throne judgment. The Great White Throne judgment is the most terrifying of all judgments, and it’s reserved for sinners. The Judgment Seat of Christ, on the other hand, is where we, the Christians, receive our rewards one by one from the Master, and not in groups: “…that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” Notice what the Bible says: “In his body”; this refers to the Body of Christ. When you were born again, you were baptized into the Body of Christ, and you’ve been there ever since. How have you functioned in the Bo...

Speak  🗣️ I  abide  in  the  Word,  and  the  Word  abides  in me,  therefore,  my  thoughts,  my  will,  my plans,  and  my  desires  all  line  up  with  the will  of  God. I  declare  that  I  am  healthy  and  sound.  I function in divine health. Sickness, lack and death  are  far  from  me.  The  Word  of  God  is working in every bone of my body, in every cell  of  my  blood,  in  every  fibre  of  my  being. I  declare  that  eternal  life  is  at  work  in  me.  I speak  strength  to  my  body.  I  declare  that  I am  strengthened  with  glorious  might,  by God's  Spirit  in  my...

👤PASTOR CHRIS Sunday, 23rd January 2022 TOPIC: CARE AND PRAY FOR OTHERS (Don’t Be At “Ease” In Zion; Be Concerned For Others) TO THE BIBLE 📖:  Amos 6:1-2 CEV “Do you rulers in Jerusalem and in the city of Samaria feel safe and at ease? Everyone bows down to you, and you think you are better than any other nation. But you are in for trouble! Look what happened to the cities of Calneh, powerful Hamath, and Gath in Philistia. Are you greater than any of those kingdoms?” LET’S TALK 🗣️ “Dad, I guess we can relax on our praying since God protected us during last night’s robbery attack in our neighbourhood,” Gretchen stated. “No, that would be silly! We’ve got neighbours and those thieves could return if we ignore praying. Remember, injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. They don’t know as much as we do and that’s why we’ll continue praying for them every day. Doing this, we’ll restrain Satan from even further rampage.” Through God’s Word, there’re a lot of us who’ve l...

Speak 🗣️ I  am  born again,  not  of  corruptible  seed,  but of  incorruptible,  by  the  word  of  God  that lives  and  abides a forever  (1  Peter  1:23).  I  am born  in  the  likeness  of  the  Word,  and  live the  life  of  the  Word in  the  power of the Holy Ghost.  I  am  the  healed  of  the  Lord.  Every part  of  my  body  is  functioning  right  and well. I  belong  to  Christ,  therefore  I  am  an  heir according  to  the  promise,  and  a  joint-heir with  Jesus.  Abraham's  blessings  are  mine,  I am  blessed  in  the  city,  I  am  blessed  in  the field,  I...

👤 PASTOR CHRIS  *SUNDDAY 23RD JANUARY 2022* TOPIC: IS AN IRREFUTABLE PROOF OF PURCHASE SCRIPTURE 📖  Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God *THE MESSAGE* Our opening verse is about the second coming of the Lord Jesus, when He rides on a white horse and is wearing a robe dipped in blood. Notice that John didn’t say He was wearing a red robe; that’s very significant. The woman on the beast in Revelation 17:4 was dressed in purple and red clothes: “And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour….” Jesus, on the other hand, was wearing a robe dipped in blood. What’s the significance of this? When you want to lay claims to something you bought, you take the receipt. Jesus bought the whole world: “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joythereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field” (Matthew 13:...

The Grace of God can be seen in what it produces; as much as Grace is a divine working on the inside of a man, it manifests itself on the outside of a man in diverse ways: below are seven out workings of grace in a man’s life. 1. ACCEPTABILITY There always is something about a man/woman with Grace that attracts people to him/her. Grace singles you out; they just don’t know why they are attracted towards you. Grace has got nothing to do with one’s status, profession or gender. You can turn on grace in your life; God gives you more Grace as you put to use the Grace He already made available to you. Grace causes nature to respond to you and there are levels of Grace at which different Christians function. It should be your desire to function at the highest level of Grace possible. 2. THE ADVANTAGE Grace brings and gives you the Advantage. As a Christian, you need to ALWAYS be conscious of the Grace of God upon your life, this is what makes it work and you need to recognize tha...
