Pst Sam Adeyemi Ephesians 2:10The most important question you'd ask in your life is the question "What on Earth am I here for?" Jere. 1:4-5 tells us that God knew everyone of us before we were formed in the belly. This is what we've learned about entering God's rest. God has a plan. The foundational work of creation was completed in the first six days as seen in Genesis. When He created Adam, He had factored out what every single person...
Pastor Sam Adeyemi Exodus 33:13-14 God gave us the word for the year, Rest. We said that the God-kind of Rest comes when we download and act on God's blueprint. He finished the foundational work of creation in Genesis 1 and 2 and rested on the 2nd. He created Man last so Man's first full day was on the day of rest. The idea is that Man should find time to focus completely on God, deepen his relationship with God and...
Pst. Sam Adeyemi Hebrews 4:9-11, 1-4 Rest, as we understand it from scripture, is part and parcel of the creation story in Genesis 1. It is a foundational principle. Foundational principles are found in Genesis 1 and 2 as they contain everything you need to know in its purest form. They're called the two perfect chapters of the Bible. Rest shows up there.In Genesis 1 and 2, we see the principles of creation and the principles that runs the universe. Light was...
Pst. Kenny Folarin 1st Thess 5:18In everything give thanks. We have said that you can not miss it by giving thanks and that gratitude is a function of focus. However bad you may think your situation is, you can always find something to be grateful for. When we take for granted what God has done for us, who God is in our lives, we lose our sense of value. When positive things happen consistently and they become normal to us...
Pastor Sam Adeyemi 1st Thess. 5:18If we're finding it difficult to say "thank you" to people that we can see, just imagine how many "Thank Yous" we owe God. What breeds lack of gratitude? Entitlement! We take so much for granted. Our text encourages us to be grateful. You can complain that roses, as beautiful as they are, have thorns or you can be grateful that the thorns has some beautiful roses in them. Gratitude is an attitude. It's a function of...
Pastor Sam Adeyemi Galatians 6:9Our emphasis has been on the fact that we cannot see the fulfillment of God's promises without staying power. Hebrews 10:35-36 shows how we need confidence and endurance. To develop staying power continued;6. Don't compromise your faith in God. Hold on strong to your values as a Christian. Daniel 3:15-18 we see that if you're going to last till you see the fulfillment of God's promises we need to hold some deep conviction. KnowGod for yourself and know...
Pastor Sam Adeyemi Hebrews 6:12It is Faith and Patience. As a Christian, we have explored the subject of Faith. We have defined it, we have explained it, we have explored it. That's, however, only one leg of the table. There's another leg...
Pastor Sam Adeyemi Galatians 6:9Last week we established that you cannot see the fulfillment of God in your life without having staying power. This is because there are conditions to receiving the fulfillment of God's promise as seen in Galatians 6:9. In verse 7, we see that sowing is the well-doing. Now we know that words are seeds, actions are seeds, serving in somebody's organisation is a seed that would be harvested when you start your own. The way you're treating your...
Pastor Kenny Folarin Romans 8:26Prayer is a spiritual exercise and our human ability is incapable of this engagement. God doesn't have a physical ear but He has the capacity to hear your thoughts and your words because He is a Spirit as seen in John 4:24. Prayer is the interaction of the spirit, soul and body of a man with the Spirit of God. Prayer is spirit communicating with spirit. This is why we have not put so much emphasis on...
Matthew 6:7-13 Pastor Kenny FolarinWe have established a fact that prayer is communication with God, it is based on our relationship with Him. It is a conversation, an interaction between two people. This is what God wants from everyone of us. In Prov. 16:8 we see that God likes to hear our voices and He wants us to cultivate a relationship with Him. God doesn't want us to turn Him into a money-making machine; we approach Him only when we need...
