     | 507 views

    Offence is a spiritual snare that Satan uses to trap God’s people. It creeps in subtly, but its consequences are severe: broken relationships, spiritual dryness, delayed destiny, and emotional pain.

    Opening Up The Ancient Gates

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 15, 2025
     | 1,326 views

    Some spiritual gates and doors control access to destinies, blessings, and divine encounters. These gates can either open to allow divine intervention or remain shut, causing stagnation and delay.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ...read more

     | 7,012 views

    Three questions arise to me out of our chapter: • Who is the Man of lawlessness? • What power is holding back the rise of the antichrist? • How do I keep from being deceived by the Great Deceiver?

    Series: Imitators Summary of last week: 2 Thessalonians was written shortly after the first letter was delivered. Most likely the deliverer of the first letter noted some serious misunderstandings of The Coming of the Lord and end times beliefs which needed to be addressed. Paul writes this letter ...read more

    Are we equipped to stand in difficult times? This exposition of Philippians 4:1-3 examines Paul's instruction for standing firm. We cannot do it without the right mindset. We cannot do it without unity.

    Intro We are in a study of Philippians; our text today in Philippians 4:1-3. In the previous three chapters Paul has emphasized the importance of standing firm in the face of persecution and other difficulties. In chapter one he exhorted: “Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 18,098 views

    Always remember, God’s delays are not God’s denials! Sometimes God denies the original request, to give you something better and greater to make you grow for His glory.

    Intro: A small child wrote to a missionary the following note: “Dear Mr. Missionary, we are praying for you but we don’t know if God will answer.” This prayer reflects the prayers of most Christians who pray a lot but actually doubt answers! When and how does God answer? To get an answer from God, ...read more

    In the parable of the widow who brings her case before an unjust judge. The unjust judge just ignores her plead but finally relented in order to get her off his back. Our Heavenly Father will not delay even one day more than necessary but will quickly answer our prayer.

    Good morning brothers and sisters, I wish to share from the passage in Luke 18: 1-8. Jesus tells a parable of a widow who has a rival who mistreated her. She brings her case before an unjust judge. The unjust judge is too wicked to even consider her case and just ignore her plead. This ...read more

     | 6,001 views

    Facing the consequences of sin. Hunkering down behind denial and other defensive walls only delays and compounds the consequences. Surrendering and facing the music (through Realization, Repentance, Restitution) is the path to peace and life.

    God's Prescription For Patience Series

     | 11,399 views

    James is very concerned about how you react to the pain and suffering that comes into your life. This sermon teaches you how to respond to injustice, pain, suffering, delay and difficulty in a godly way.

    Scripture Stanislaw J. Lec once said, “You must first have a lot of patience to learn to have patience.” I wonder how many would agree with that statement. It does seem that those who are patient have large doses of it to begin with, doesn’t it? In our text for today, James gives us God’s ...read more
