    Contributed by Pastor Amos Dele Dada on Jun 11, 2020
     | 4,893 views

    I learned this meaning of Rev 5 and the seals when one of the leaders of “Intercessors for Africa” at the commencement of one of the conferences raised a prayer point from that scripture in the 90s.

    “But one of the twenty-four elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Rev 5:5 in the name of Jesus the seals in your life shall be opened. I learned this meaning of ...read more

    The Antichrist Series

     | 4,511 views

    When will the Antichrist appear? When will he take rule? Who will he be? We will take a look at the great leader during Revelation and help answer some of these questions.

    The term “anti-Christ” is used in the Bible to mean against or instead of Christ. According to the Bible, the age in which we are living will end with the rapture of the saints. At the close of this age, we will see the ascendancy of a one world religious state government over which the anti-Christ ...read more

    This passage showcases the myriad of problems created when you have self-confident religious leaders. How do we avoid that problem with today's preachers?

    OF COURSE I SHOULD: If the preacher is God’s messenger, shouldn’t I trust what he says? - Many presume that they should just trust everything that the preacher says. - This passage is a reminder to us in a myriad of ways that religious leaders aren’t always on point.

    All Christians, by their baptism and faith, put on Jesus Christ. That means that like Jesus, we are prophets, priests and kings or leaders. That imposes a moral code, doesn’t it?
