Marked: The Doctrine of Circumcision

God called Moses [to deliver the people of Isreal], Later, we see that God wanted to kill Moses, why would God want to do that? We see the reason in Exodus 4:24–26. Moses wasn't  abiding with God's law of being "Marked" (circumcised) detailed explanation here. - https://www.gotquestions.org/kill-Moses.html Today's sermon was quite expository and there's quite lot to understand and we should be open to learning. God's priority for the unsaved, is Salvation, but as a believer, God's priority for us is to grow in knowledge of Him, so we can worship better. Today's sermon on the Doctrine of circumcision help us further establish that the entire bible, just like a movie is related and connected. We could see several events and situations that reflect on or suggest things to come. Safe to say everything about the bible points to Christ and His salvation work. Much of the old testament are actually symbols of Jesus and his work of salvation.. but this isn...

The Marriage Code by Bisi Olasoetan. 28th Feb 2021

Sermon starts with Eph 5:33 - The Mystery about Marriage. And a Prayer to God to reveal. Pastor Bisi of the Secret place wives brings a unique and uncommon perspective to the institution of Marriage. If I attempted to sum up the sermon in a few words it would  be ..  Marriage is a divine call to fixing your partner...or better put a call to reconcile your spouse to God . This may not be an unfamiliar perspective, but the meaning is more profound when you understand, you too need some fixing. Some key points from the sermon. Marriage is one of the kind of relationship that goes sour fast. - If you are experiencing issues in your Marraige..nothing is wrong..(it's a part of it. (This explains everything, if there is an issue, it an opportunity to do the Lord's works, and you'll be fulfilling God's purpose) John 15v2 - 4 tells us why. He that abides in Him bears fruit. We treat challenges in marriage as a wall, instead of a bump. (The friction calls for us to slow down and ...

The Courtship Code by Laju Iren

This sermon started with a common thing among our generation:  Jumping into conclusion. Pastor Laju goes on to outline various codes that should guide us during dating. Code 1: Dating is not a hobby . It's not something you do for fun. You can have fun in it (going out e.t.c) but it's not all for fun 4 signs that you are not being serious. 1. You choose without thinking about it 2. You have little or no standards. 3. No objectives: no goal in mind. 4. When you only do the fun part. Code 2: Love is a choice You are not a slave to your feelings, family or prophets. You must intentionally consider. You can't be in relationship due to circumstances beyond your control. 6. mistakes people make when choosing. - circumstances - low expectations  - unrealistic expectations: you are in your process, so also your partner. You need grace to be able to see beyond now - Ill preparedness. - Wrong counsel. - Spiritual gymnastic Code 3: Love is visionary / successful relationship are possi...

Love Code Conference 2021 - Feb 14th

 Happy Valentine's Today's sermon was lit. However, 1 thing stood out -  A relationship can be ordained by God and yet it does not work. In Acts 13v1-2 Paul and Barnabas were specifically divinely called to be partners in ministry, but we see that in Acts 15v36-39 , there was a strong disagreement and they separated, the partnership didn't work out and Paul went on to do stuff with Silas. Quite profound. A good reminder that God is not one who would enforce His will on you. He has given each and everyone of us the power of choosing, and that includes the choice of a life partner and the choice to make the relationship work. He would offer you His ideas, suggest His preferences, at the end of the day, the ball is in court as they say  🎾 Another key take away is: Be willing to wait till you have your spec (your kind of life partner). We take an example from the first man - Adam. Though he had Animals around him that could be a companion, he waited for God to give him his ...

Love is

 Love is not a feeling Love is not a set of behaviors Love is not a mental stimulation Love is not a trophy, not another achievement. Love is not only shown to and for your partner. God is love and He is the foundation of Love as we know it. Submission is not exclusive to a good marriage. 1 Cor 16v16, 1Pet 5v5 Your submission to the authority of God will make you a good partner. Christ is our example for Love. 1 John 3v16

Faith over Fear 🛐🛐/😱

It was another insightful service at church today, still learning about Faith. The key learning from the sermon is for us to have a balanced perspective to faith. Not being stereotypical or embracing a single side to Faith. Yes, we would face fears, but our Faith must be bigger than our fears. This sermons builds on from last week's, where we talked about Prophetic Faith and the motive + context.of Faith. If I were.to sum up last week's and this week's sermon in one sentence, it would be: True Faith is prophetic, prophecy can seem good or bad, but it's still the God kind of Faith. Let's see some illustration, David and Joseph. Both men were carried by prophecy, backed by God but their path to fufilling destiny were very different. David, a shepard boy, living a normal life was visited at home, to be anointed for royalty. He was not even regarded initially. He had no dream, no vision. It was an easy ride.to the throne for him. Joseph had a dream and that ...

Prophetic Faith 🤯

 I'm in a state of "mind blown" I mean I have heard several teachings on Faith and how it is worked, but never ever I've I heard it preached the way it was a few hours ago at Church, twice! (Twice because I had to join the second service again just to .. what's the word... behold these truths.) I bless God for the Servant of God, Pastor Emmanuel Iren. Now unto today's sermon points... just a few key points really, cos this shouldn't be long, and I'll strongly suggest you Watch a replay for the sermon on Youtube. Before I proceed I feel I need to say this, the content of this sermon, I think might not be so easy for a new Christian to grab at first hand. If you are not so familiar with bible characters and their experiences, you might feel lost, but you should get the main principle. If you've been a Christian for a while, you should be familiar, but you definitely will gain a new perspective to what Faith is,  a right perspective (though unpopular)...
