    So much of what comes “naturally” to us is shaped by sin, self, and the culture around us. But what the Holy Spirit compels us to do—that is divine wisdom at work.

He once said: “Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to ...read more

    The Purpose Of The Anointing

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 28, 2025
     | 656 views

    The anointing is given for a divine purpose: to serve God’s kingdom, set the captives free, and advance His will on earth. It is not for personal gain or self-glorification but for fulfilling God’s assignment.

    THE PURPOSE OF THE ANOINTING By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Isaiah 61:1-3 "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of ...read more

    We are not saved by rule-keeping or self-rescue but by God’s grace—grace received by faith—which alone can break sin’s dominion and lead us home.

    Introduction Some of us feel far from God. Far from the person we wanted to be. Far from family. Far from our own true selves. And though we long to come home, we know that we cannot pave that road with our own effort. The Bible has a single word for the road back. That word is grace. Victor ...read more

    Jesus saves us from sin and shallow religion. He teaches us to practice our faith in private, not for public approval, but to build a solid core of self-giving love.

    Today we're going to talk about how Jesus saves us from sin and shallow religion. You know, the kind of religion that's all about showing off and not about what's really going on inside of us. Let's start with a little object lesson. I want you all to imagine a cup. Now, this cup looks super shiny ...read more

    The world system we were raised in taught relative truth. Self-reliance, and only that which can be perceived through the natural is real. 2 Corinthians 4:18, teaches us that the unseen world is more real than the seen world.
