     | 5,331 views

    When everything is going well, pray, because that is when the opposition will assault us, that is when confusion comes, and that is when you will discover the unfinished clutter in your own heart.

    Each fall I bring you messages on prayer. There is a reason for that. In this time of the year we need to be very alert about our devotional life. September is a crucial time to discern important things about prayer. The reason is not hard to find. In September, everything cranks up to a fever ...read more

    Destiny helpers are essential for fulfilling God’s purpose, but various barriers can hinder these divine connections. Spiritual opposition, personal attitudes, environmental factors, and failure to discern helpers are some of the major obstacles.

    OVERCOMING THE BARRIERS TO DESTINY HELP By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 37:26-28 "And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?

    Every Christian faces real life problems. Just because you accepted Jesus doesn't mean you will be immune to suffering, pain, and trouble in life. In this message we study how Hannah overcame her real life problem.

    “Faith for Real Life Problems” (1 Sam 1:1-2 NIV) "There was a certain man from Ramathaim, a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. {2} He had two wives; one was called Hannah ...read more

    Lust craves to use people for our "needs" and desires. It is the exact opposite of the love and focus on the needs of others that Jesus calls us to.

    II Samuel 11:1-5, Matthew 5:27-30 “A Good Gift Gone Bad” (Lust) INTRODUCTION We live in a society that panders to lust. Everywhere we look—billboards, magazines, movies and television—we view provocative pictures. The goal of modern clothing fashion is to be alluring. The idea of turning ...read more

    Many are lost because they did not find the true Light. They continue to live in darkness because they blind. It is exactly opposite of the life in the true Light.

    INTRODUCTION I don’t know what kind of light are you using in your houses. Are you using incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp or bar light or spot light? Which of these lights is the true light? No one can tell, because all of these give light especially when needed. But how about the light ...read more

    If we expect God to use us to do the work of the kingdom, then we will have to be faithful in proclaiming the truth even in the face of opposition and ridicule.

    Nehemiah has to face the challenges of doing something he was not familiar with but it is the will of God. He has to inspect the wall, motivate the people and contend with the oppositions.

    We had a remarkable breakthrough in chapter 2 when Nehemiah was granted the opportunity to see the King, after 4 months of praying and waiting. • Even with all that praying, it wasn’t a simple thing for Nehemiah to seek the King’s favour. He was very much afraid (2:2). • Imagine asking for leave ...read more
