The Marks of Christ

Activity: Lord's Banquet (Bible Exploration) Anchor Scripture: Galatians 6:14-17 Scripture References: Gen. 20: 1-28; 26: 1-33; 31: 22-29, John 7: 25-30; 10: 30-39, Psalm 14:4-7; 34: 17-22; 37: 37-40 Introduction Years back in the village, whenever the owner of a possession discovers that there are many of such a thing, owned by different people all around them, they made a mark on their own such that different owners are able to distinguish theirs from those of the others to avoid confusions as to whom owns which. This initiative is in no doubt the rationale behind the use of tribal marks in some parts of the world that are used to identify people's descent and origins without any stress. With tribal marks, people's lineages could be traced even within the same descents. Likewise brethren, TRUE  children of God bear common marks by which they are easily recognized by God, their fellow children of God and even, the devil and his agents. in the Gospel according t

How To Truly Receive From God - 1 (PATIENCE)

Activity : Sunday Sermon Anchor Scripture: Psalm 40:1-10 S cripture References: 1 Sam. 13:1-14, Rom. 5:3-4; 8:25, 1 Tim. 6:11-12, Hebrews 6:12, James 1:3-4, James 5:11, 2 Pet. 1:6. Introduction Human life is full of cravings. For that reason, we ask, ask and ask at all times. Most of us are often like little children who don't always remember to appreciate past good gestures, but are more concerned about our pending requests and imminent ones. I am afraid, brethren, that most of us bear no clear-cut difference from our stomachs in that stomachs don't often remember what they have received, but are usually more concerned about the next material coming in. Like stomachs when hungry, most of us lack patience to receive the appropriate things, and in good and appropriate manner and measures. By this ravenous attitude, if not for God's mercy, many a Christian would have become preys in the hand of the  workers of iniquities. And many indeed, have, by their ravenous glut

Consecration - 2

Activity: Sunday Sermon Anchor Scripture: 2 Tim. 2: 20 – 21, Judges 13 – 16 Scripture References: Eph. 1: 3-12, 1 Pet. 2: 9 Introduction In the first part of this message, the good Lord led us into what consecration is and why it is important for us as Christians. However, there is a pressing need to move a step further to enable us apply ourselves more to this all-important spiritual concept. Ordinarily in the world today, there seems to be a discordant tune, orchestrated by doctrinal disparities, among Christians as to what God requires of us. Ditto, how we ought to conduct ourselves, as Christians, who should secondly live in God’s righteous divine presence. This ‘disunity’ accounts for Christianity Without Power , which we currently have almost everywhere today. God’s assurance is that “at the mention of the name of Jesus Christ, every knee should bow and every tongue confess . . . .” (Phil. 2: 11) How often does that happen today in our meetings, and what
