    The Lord Of The Breakthrough Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 2, 2025
     | 670 views

    The Lord of the Breakthrough is not a mere title—it is a revelation of God's nature. When we recognise Him as such, we understand that no limitation is final, no delay is permanent, and no opposition is too great.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Chronicles 14:11 Supporting Texts: Isaiah 45:2-3, Micah 2:13, 2 Samuel 5:20, Psalm 114:1-8, Acts 12:6-10 INTRODUCTION: Life often presents us with barriers—physical, spiritual, emotional, and situational—that seem impossible to ...read more

    Even when we think all hope is lost, God has a plan in mind.

    God’s Got A Plan Psalm 1:1-6 Matthew 21:18-22 2 Kings 4:1-7 Have you ever seen a situation in which you thought it was a pretty hopeless, and been shocked that something good still came out of it.

    Faced with a valley of dry bones and a God who asked if the bones could live, Ezekiel simply replied "Oh Lord God, you know."

    A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. All of a sudden, he said out loud, "Lord, grant me one wish." The sunny California sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice, and the Lord said, "Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish." ...read more

    The word of the prophet, into the world of the prophet, depends on the walk of the prophet with God

    The Serving Prophet Introduction One of the great things about being a parent or a grandparent is being able to read children’s stories. And as you will know, the best children’s stories work on several levels. They have an immediate appeal of course to the children, but on another level, they ...read more

    In the life of Christ we see desperation, faith and love.

    INTRO.- ILL.- A lady wrote a letter to Dear Abby. “Dear Abby, I am 44 years old and would like to meet a man my age with no bad habits. Signed, Rose. Abby replied: ‘Dear Rose: So would I.’” Could that be called desperation? If any woman or man is trying to find a mate that has no bad habits, ...read more

    based on 40 ratings
     | 11,446 views

    Not only does the passage state the mission of Christ, it also relays the mission of the Church. What God did when He became flesh in Jesus Christ was to identified with man. Believers are to identify with Christ also.

    ISAIAH 61: 1-3 THE MESSIAH’S MISSION [Luke 4: 18-19] The Messianic Servant was appointed to bring the good news of God’s salvation to mankind. He would be empowered by the Spirit of YAHWEH to minister the accompanying blessings of salvation also. The Messiah’s most potent instrument for ...read more

     | 10,365 views

    Today's message looks at and answers the question that as we are preparing for Christmas, are we preparing for Jesus.

    Preparing for Christmas Luke 3 In our message today, I’d like to address my ending statement from last week’s message on how Satan is trying to steal Christmas. I said that “as we enter into this Christmas season, let’s prepare our hearts the right way so that the true joy of Christmas can fill ...read more

    God will console those who mourn in Zion. There is enough of God to comfort all who mourn around the world. But his word specifically states those in Zion or those in God’s house are going to get God’s attention.

    The Bible speaks of the Holy Ghost as being the comforter. Aren’t you glad for the spirit of the Lord? He is the comforter. In our scripture text it says that God would appoint, or as the NKJV says, God would console those who mourn in Zion. There is enough of God to comfort all who mourn ...read more

     | 13,299 views

    In some form or fashion we all have experienced rejection and felt the effects that it brings with it and will continue to feel them for many years to come. Rejection is a part of life that affects each of us at some point and it’s not limited to only on

    The Pitfalls of Rejection 1st Peter 3:14 Whither it was not being picked for the kickball game by the kids in the neighborhood, not making the football team, or the cheerleading squad, not going to the prom with the person you knew you would, or getting into the college you wanted, not getting ...read more

    A meditation on Biblical themes joined by the word laughter.

    I had a terrible thing happen a few weeks ago when I was taking a service in a wee church (that shall remain nameless) in the country.

    Shamgar is only mentioned twice in the book of Judges - in out text and in 5:6-7. Shamgar’s story almost seems incidental, but because he was too important to be omitted he is included in the Scriptures.

    It’s not much, but you can have it! Judges 3:31 Israel should have been fully enjoying the Promised Land but their inconsistency in obeying God and their imitation of the idolatrous culture around them led to failure. Israel had a habit of turning from God. Whenever they did so God would ...read more

    Contributed by Cedric Portis on Apr 20, 2003
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,898 views

    The way I see it is that you have two choices when you come into the knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you will either mock or repent.

    Mock or Repent, What is your reaction to Jesus Today? Minister Cedric A. Portis 4/20/03 Luke 23:35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. Luke 23:36 And the soldiers also mocked ...read more

    based on 64 ratings
     | 7,117 views

    Holy Saturday is a day of mourning and lament. We would do well in modern Christianity to learn how to authentically pour our pain out to God like the Psalmist.

    Dare to Hang On One More Day Jn 19:30; Ps 22 Holy Saturday: April 19, 2003 Intro: I have no doubt that the Sabbath which began the day Jesus was crucified was the worst Sabbath the disciples had ever known. It was supposed to be a day of worship and celebration. And the Passover Sabbath was ...read more

John wanted us to know that he witnessed with his eyes, ears, and hand the earthly Jesus. This experience had forever changed John, and now he ...read more

    Core Value 3:- The Need To Equip Disciples Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 7, 2010
     | 5,415 views

    Every believer needs to understand that they are an important part of the church. There is no such thing as someone who is useless in God's family. We need to find our purpose and know that Jesus has already equipped us.

    Message Core Value 3:- The Need to Equip Disciples 2 Timothy 4:6-8 Message I want to start by talking about epitaphs. An epitaph is the words which are written on a tombstone and they act as a way of remembering your life. One day a man and his brother we walking through a cemetery in the ...read more
