    Spiritual Warfare In Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 17, 2025
     | 364 views

    Evangelism is not just about sharing the gospel; it is a spiritual battle between the kingdom of God and the forces of darkness. Every soul won to Christ is a soul delivered from Satan’s grip, which is why evangelism often faces opposition.

    SPIRITUAL WARFARE IN EVANGELISM By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

    The world is hostile to God and His people. It was to David, son of Jesse, also. How did he face spiritual opposition and what can we learn for the battle we are called to fight today?

    Introduction I read something this week that reinforced a conviction that has been growing in my mind over the past several months. What I read was a news item about a plaque that has been taken away from a tourist centre at the Grand Canyon in the USA. Have any of you been to the Grand ...read more

    If you make any effort to live for God, you will face opposition. If you’ve never run into Satan, it’s because you and he are traveling parallel in the same direction.

    In the early part of Acts, we are introduced to 5 brief biographies that I want to introduce to you now. If you enjoy reading a biography, then you’ll benefit from these short bios. Think of these five men as the Mount Rushmore of the early chapters of Acts, if you will. A week ago we saw the ...read more

    Revisit what caused growth in the early church and apply it to what will bring growth to your church today.

    One thing which has characterized the church over history is opposition, and that opposition, rather than driving the church away, has provided for church growth. When your convictions come under fire, when they are tested, you will come to embrace them or reject them. When Christianity is ...read more

    The Holy Spirit has been poured out. The disciples proclaim God’s word with clarity and boldness. Their proclamation is centred on Jesus Christ as the only way to God. They face opposition, but they’re enabled to stand up against that opposition as the Ho

    One of the things I’ve noticed since our last holidays is how often someone will say to us, "What were the highlights of your trip." You do lots of things on a four week holiday but only some of them are highlights. That’s one of the things you realise as you get your photos back from processing. ...read more

    We all have to face opposition, 'winds blowing against us', but with faith in Jesus and the courage that only the Holy Spirit can give, we can endure and come through the challenges victorious.

    Title: Take Courage! Text: Mark 6:45-52 The context is important here. Immediately before this section of Mark 6 we have verses 30-44 which record the time when Jesus fed 5000 men with only 5 loaves and 2 fish.

    Persecution And Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 17, 2025
     | 277 views

    Persecution is not a sign of defeat but a confirmation that we are on the right path. When we face opposition in evangelism, we must not be discouraged but rejoice, knowing that we are partaking in Christ’s sufferings. The gospel is unstoppable, and no amount of persecution can hinder God’s plan.

    PERSECUTION AND EVANGELISM By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 5:11-12 "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

    In this sermon, we wrestle with the doubts, fears and compromise that comes when we face obstacles and opposition.

    Introduction: A. Life is full of obstacles. 1. So the most important question is not: “Will we face obstacles?” 2. Rather, the most important question is: “How will we overcome the obstacles we face?” B. I like the story told of three men who were hiking in the wilderness ...read more

     | 5,765 views

    Herod Antipas is a good example of one who is faithless, who worshiped an idol tied up with himself; true faith is a "break with all idols to turn to a living God in a personal encounter."

    Thursday of 25th Week in Course Lumen Fidei Luke 9: 7 - 9 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead, 8 by some that Eli'jah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen. 9 ...read more

    Just as Nehemiah was giving the call to build the walls of Jerusalem, each of you also have a calling. But know that it is easier to quit than to commit. Do not listen to the words and criticism of your opposition and focus on the word of God.

    Building Against Opposition Nevertheless, we made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night. - Nehemiah 4:9 It is not about how you start your work. It is whether you finish and how you finish that is important. One of the greatest tests of character ...read more
