MESSAGE TOPIC: STRATEGIES FOR THE NEW YEAR.

MESSAGE TOPIC: STRATEGIES FOR THE NEW YEAR. TEXT 1: Isaiah 1:19-20 “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it]”. Text 2: Isaiah 43:1-3 “But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine. When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I [am] the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt [for] thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.” Text 3: Luke 14:28-30 “For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have [sufficient] to finish [it]? Lest haply, after he hath laid the founda...

UNDERSTANDING MARRIAGE

Text: Proverbs 14:1, Hebrews 13:4, Proverbs 24:3 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. Hebrews 13:4 Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers god will judge. Proverbs 24:3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established. The bible says marriage is honourable, that means in marriage both parties are supposed to give each party honour. To many marriage means different things and that is why many enter marriage with wrong motives. The importance of marriage can never be over emphasised. The failure of the home will always lead to the failure of the society. That is why it is very important that Christians take the issue of marriage very seriously. Today’s parents are in deep mess and trouble because of the calibre of children raised today! Many see marriage as a means to get love. Some see it as an avenue to be shown love. That is a wrong motive. Anything one start...

"WINNING YOUR BATTLES"

Text: Deuteronomy 20:1-4 “When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, [and] a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people, And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them; For the LORD your God [is] he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.” Life is a battle, believe it or not, life is a battle. Anyone that must make a head way in life, the person must be ready to fight. "If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything and everything". "If you don’t know where you are going, the place you are will look like the place you ought to be" No...

OH LORD EMPOWER ME TO PROSPER:

Genesis 26: 12-13 "Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the ... man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great" Lasting Prosperity comes from God alone. From the above passage we saw that even at the time of famine as can be seen if you start reading from verse 1 , Isaac prospered. To prosper means to succeed and excel in every area of life. To prosper means to be rich and to be wealthy in every area of life. Psalm 1:1-3 says "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." There are some basic facts to pick it f...

DEFEATING ANTI-MIRACLE POWERS:

 There are powers that do not want your miracles to manifest. These are called anti- miracle powers. No matter how hard you strug ... gle , I f you don't fight against these anti- miracle powers, one tends to achieve little or nothing. These are powers that work against people's miracles, hinder the full manifestation of Peoples miracles. They delay miracles and divert people's miracles. These powers remove people from where they will receive miracles. Like in Mark 10:46-52. Here people wanted to rob Bartimaeus from receiving his miracle , but he stood his ground. They wanted to stop him from seeing Jesus because they knew he will receive his miracle if he met Jesus. Anti miracle powers can also work against people through diverse opinions from friends , relations and colleagues. Anti- miracle powers can emanate from people's cultures and beliefs. In some places , they will not allow another daughter to marry when the first has not married. That is an evil culture...

COCKROACHES IN THE CHURCH OF GOD.

Text: Mathew 13: 47-48 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kin ... d: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away." Just like the text above, today we have all kinds of people in the church of God in the name of Christians. The good ,the bad and evil ones. All lizards are on the floor, we may not easily know which one has stomach upset. Cockroaches have filled the church of God pretending to be redeemed children of God who are serving Him in truth and in spirit. Why do we call these such Christians cockroaches? It is simply because they exhibit similar characteristics with cockroaches. Characteristics of Cockroaches; 1. They have world wide distribution due to accidental transport. The cockroach Christians are very large in number. Most Christians fall into the category of Paul we know , Jesus we know , who are you ? 2. Cockroaches ar...

DEFEATING ANTI HARVEST FORCES:

Text: Judges 6:1-6, Judges 8:28 Harvest is the act of reaping or gathering crops from the farm. Act of gathering results of actio ... ns taken in the past. It is the act of reaping the fruits of ones labour .There is a time to plant and a time to reap for every one living. There is no height a man reaches that he cannot come down when attacked by anti Harvest powers. That is why we need to deal with these anti harvest forces. *******What are anti harvest forces? 1.

To impoverish their victims - agents of poverty 2. To demote their victims- they are agents of demotion 3. They are agents of affliction - they ...
