With Jesus
“Each one of you will put to flight a thousand of the enemy, for the LORD your God fights for you, just as he has promised” Josh.23:10 [emphasis added]
Concerted action is the key to synergy. You cannot have synergy without pulling together. Synergy is so key! So what is synergy? Synergy simply means, as far as human effort is concerned, one plus one will always be greater than two. You cannot have synergy without concerted action. God wants us to synergize, to pull together. God says to us, “go to the ants and learn…” He is not just saying go and learn diligence. Yes, there is diligence to be learnt from the ants but Read the rest of this entry
Community
“Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other” Rom.12:4-5
The earliest expression of the church is found in the Book of Acts of Apostles in Bible. It is important to know that God’s idea of the church is not a building but rather an Assembly of God’s people. The church is God’s family. So the church is not a building you go but rather it is family you belong to. Looking at the church through God’s lens transforms the concept of ‘I am going to church – I am going to a building’ to ‘I am going to church – I am going home Read the rest of this entry
Improper Flow
“The woman could see that the tree was beautiful and the fruit looked so good to eat. She also liked the idea that it would make her wise. So she took some of the fruit from the tree and ate it. Her husband was there with her, so she gave him some of the fruit, and he ate it” Gen.3:6 [ERV].
A key thing we must realize about community is we have to maintain proper flow. While we stand one with another, stand one for another, and stand together we have to be in proper flow. So it is improper flow for provision to be flowing from Eve to Adam. It is improper flow for the vision for your children and your family to be flowing from your wife to you. The problem at the garden was Read the rest of this entry
Community
“Two people are better off than one… If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble… A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, …two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better…”Eccl.4:9-10, 12
When the enemy wants to destroy someone or destroy a destiny, the first thing he does is he takes the person out of community. The enemy would make the person get upset at something and then remove him or her from the covering of the people that God has put around him or her. But God is clear in His Word that “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble… A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better…” Eccl.4:9-10 & 12. God is saying you need to realize the power of Read the rest of this entry
Set Yourself Free
“In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us” Col.3:11
What will be the authority in your life? Is it going to be the Word of God or the traditions of men? There was this particular wedding, real life story, the groom I think was Yoruba and the bride was Igbo. And the parents of both the bride and the groom will not have it. So this couple had to go through hell to get the two families to attend the wedding ceremony. Their Read the rest of this entry
We Are The Church II
‘Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other’ Rom.12:4-5
Our vision in God’s Favourite House is to be filled with the life of Christ Jesus and released into our destinies, taking the world for Him. The vision of a local church is unique; there are no two churches that share the same vision really. But the mission of the church is the same regardless of its denomination. The church of Jesus has only one mission. Jesus said ‘go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit’. If you are to condense Read the rest of this entry
We Are The Church I
‘But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it’ James 1:25
‘But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the Lord your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and decrees that I am giving you today’ Deut.8:11. As we proceed in the Year, we must remember that God does not expect us to forget all that He taught us in the past. Over the next few days we are going to be highlighting seven important reminders as 2014 progresses. Read the rest of this entry
