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...

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...

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...

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...

 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...

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...

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. Evil powers that hinder or delay the harvest of people 2. Wasters of people labors 3. Devourers of people's labors- caterpillars and cankerworms(419 people etc) 4. Spoilers that reap where they did not sow. Strangers eating people's efforts. 5. Emptiers of good things in people's lives 6. Opportunity destroyers ******Why do anti harvest forces operate: 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 ...

TEXT 1: Proverb 30:11-14 “11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. 12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. 13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up. 14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men”. TEXT 2: Genesis 6:5-7 “5.And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them”. TEXT 3: Deuteronomy 32:5 “They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not...

TEXTS: 1. Mathew: 22: 32  “I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” 2. Luke: 24:1-5 “ Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. 3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: 5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?” Just as we have physical deaths, we have spiritual deaths. There are people by heaven standard, they are dead but living. Something is dead when: the thing is stagnant, when it is irrelevant, has no vitality or spirit and is no more sensitive. On the other hand a Christian is one...

Text: Luke 18:1-8 “And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” God is not a man that he should lie. If you sin and ask for forgiveness, he will forgive you and welcome you back. He always listens to the pleas and petitions of his elect. Who are the elect of God? 1. The ...

BECOMING AN EAGLE CHRISTIAN Advanced learners dictionary defines an eagle as “Large strong bird of prey with keen sight”. Until one becomes an eagle Christian, his strength and power as a Christian will be limited. Eagle stands for greatness, liberty, authority, power, victory and above all strength. No wonder the bible says in the book of Job chapter 39: 27-29 “ Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.  From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off”. Considering the qualities of an Eagle, the bible also in the book of Isaiah 40: 28-31, says “Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of his understanding.  He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be...

FOUR (4) PRINCIPLES OF POSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS: God has given us all we need to enjoy life here on earth and the opportunity to have everlasting life thereafter. Every good thing of life is by nature our possessions. When God created the world, he looked at all he created and found out that they are good he gave man charge over it to maintain and enjoy the fruits and goodness of the earth. The Book of 2nd Peter chapter 1: 3 says “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue”. Many today believe in men and not God for their daily bread. No man has the power to help you if God has not put it in his mind to do so. No wonder the bible also said in the book of 1st Corinthians chapter 3:21 “Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours”. Yes all things are yours as divinely ordained by God. All things in this scriptu...
