*MONDAY PRAISE AND PRAYER SCHOOL* *(08-04-2019)* *MINISTERING: PASTOR EBENEZER OKECHUKWU* *TOPIC: INSIGHT FOR AVOIDING DELAYS IN YOUR DESTINY* *TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 1:6* Life is not lost in death; it is lost through unfulfilled destiny. Many times, when the devil sees he cannot abort the fulfillment of your destiny, he will want to delay you from the fulfillment of that destiny because he knows that delay often could be equal to denial; Many times destiny delayed can be as good as destiny denied. When he sees that you are determined to pursue your destiny, he makes you remain on the right lane but not making any progress-  A man who is on the right track but not making progress is as good as the man who is on the wrong track. The children would have spent only 11days in their journey from Egypt to Canaan yet they spent 40years. The word "yet" is used, meaning that the delay was not necessary. "Yet" meaning that there is something they would have done and the dela...

*WEDNESDAY COMMUNION SERVICE – 1st SERVICE* *(27-02-2018)* *MINISTERING: PASTOR EBENEZER OKECHUKWU* *TOPIC: FOREVER IN LOVE* *TEXT: SONGS OF SOLOMON 8:5- 7 (MSG)* Christianity at best is a love affair; a love affair between the redeemed man and the redeemer; Between a child of God and his father; Between the bride of our Lord Jesus Christ (the church) and the master, our Lord Jesus. Anyone who is having a love affair outside of God and marriage does not know the meaning of love. In marriage and especially in our relationship with God, we see the beauty, excitement, joy, and fulfillment of love. The Book of Songs of Solomon only makes sense to a spiritual man; it is a love story that  illustrates four things. 1. It is illustrating the depth of romance and the purity of love that should exist between a man and his wife. 2. it is illustrating the love relationship that exist between God’s children and God the Father. 3. It is illustrating the love relatio...

*WEDNESDAY COMMUNION SERVICE – 2nd  SERVICE* *(27-02-2018)* *MINISTERING: PASTOR EBENEZER OKECHUKWU* *TOPIC: FOREVER IN LOVE (II)* *TEXT: SONGS OF SOLOMON 8:5- 7 (MSG)* To help you follow this message: This message is coming from the book of Songs of Solomon, he was known to be a lover of women, but there was one to whom Solomon wrote a song. God wants to bring us to the point where we can sing song of songs for Him. God loves us to the point where He has written songs of songs for us. So, it is not actually Solomon that was writing but the Holy Spirit writing to us. Solomon represents our Lord Jesus Christ and the woman represents you and me. So, as you read this book, what is being expanded is not a romantic carnal affair but a journey of love between Christ and the believer. There is a relationship between how love develops physically and how it develops spiritually. If you understand how love occur physically and look at your relationship with Jesus and you t...

*WEDNESSDAY COMMUNION SERVICE – 2nd SERVICE* *(06-02-2018)* *MINISTERING: PASTOR EBENEZER OKECHUKWU* *TOPIC: THREE AMAZING DIMENSIONS OF GOD’S LOVE* *TEXT: EPHESIANS 2:10, 1ST CORINTHIANS 2:10* The THREE AMAZING DIMENSIONS OF GOD’S LOVE refers to God’s love expressed in the three persons of God: God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We will be looking at the love of the God head with regards to the fulfillment of our destiny. *The love of God the father is revealed in the following ways with regards to the fulfilment of our destiny.* *1. It is God the father’s love that designed a destiny for us (Jeremiah 1:5, 29:11):* He assigned a purpose for us. The choice He made about what we will become is governed by His love. Whatever the Lord is laying in your heart to become, that is the best for you. Before God choose you for a role you should fulfil in life, He knows what you can handle. And aside His love, He chooses our purposes for us o...

*WEDNESDAY COMMUNION SERVICE – 1st SERVICE* *(06-02-2018)* *MINISTERING: PASTOR EBENEZER OKECHUKWU* *TOPIC: THREE AMAZING DIMENSIONS OF GOD’S LOVE* *TEXT: JOHN 3:16, 1st CORINTHIANS 12:3* It is important that we understand the love God has for us just as the scriptures say (Eph. 5:15). It is the cry of the Spirit that we will know the love of God. our lives can not remain the same if we fully grasp the love of God. To understand the love of the God Head we must understand: 1. The love of God the father. 2. The love of God the Son- Jesus Christ. 3. The love of the Holy Spirit. God has revealed himself to humanity in these three ways. Each of these three persons of the God Head expresses his love to us in different ways. It is like me being a husband, a prophet and a friend to my wife.  There is a way I can express love to her as a husband, as a prophet and as a friend. If she were not my wife, I can only express love to her as a prophet and as a friend. It is s...

*SUNDAY SERVICE- 2nd SERVICE (EARLY RAIN)* *(03-2-2019)* *MINISTERING: PASTOR EBENEZER OKECHUKWU* *TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING GOD’S LOVE* *TEXT: EPHESIANS 3:14-19* Our focus today is to make sure that our comprehension of God’s love is enlarged. The bible clearly reveals to us a loving God, and is not silent in showing us specific ways God loves us. Why is it important for us to understand God’s love for us? *1. So that you can appreciate the love God has for you:* It is important to know God loves you so that you can appreciate Him. Many times, people are not able to appreciate God’s love because they don’t understand what He is doing for them is a demonstration of His love. *2. So that you will be able to reciprocate God’s love by loving others:* Any man who knows this love and allows it to flow into his life will naturally love others. “A new commandment I give onto you, that you love one another, as I have loved you…” (John 13:3...

*SUNDAY SERVICE- 1ST SERVICE (MORNING DEW)* *(03-2-2019)* *MINISTERING: PASTOR EBENEZER OKECHUKWU* *TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING GOD’S LOVE* *TEXT: 1ST JOHN 4:16-18, 3:1* The essence of this message is to deepen our understanding of the love God has for us by clearly demonstrating how God shows his love to us. John the beloved writes by the Holy Spirit, “And we have known and believed that God loved us…”. Have you known and believed the love God has for you? *WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH GOD LOVES YOU?* *1.Understanding God’s love is the foundation of unshakable faith:* when you see a man whose faith in God does not shake, that man has a revelation of the love God has for him (1st John 4:16). You can’t rely on God’s love if you have not understood it. If you don’t understand it you will be worried and concerned over everything. If you understand God’s love for you, your worries will die and your faith will blossom. *2. Under...

*WAVES OF GLORY* – *DAY 19, EVENING SESSION* *(30-01-2019)* *MINISTERING: PASTOR EBENEZER OKECHUKWU* *TOPIC: TRUIMPHING BY TESTIMONIES AND THE POWER OF THE BLOOD* *TEXT: REVELATION 12:7-12* “And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony...” who is the one that they overcame? The devil- the Dragon (Revelation 12:7-12). Why is it important that you share your testimony? Let’s look at what happened in heaven; when the devil was cast out of heaven. Satan was originally Lucifer, the chief arch angel. He became proud because of the position God gave him and he decided to make himself “God” by dethroning God; Imagine a created being wanting to overthrow his creator. Satan was blinded by his ambition, he was blinded by his pride. Well god being the God he is: The glorious, the mighty, the unchallengeable, the un-confrontable one, did not want to waste his energy on Satan. So, God sent Michael and the other angels to d...

*WAVES OF GLORY* – *DAY 18, MORNING SESSION* *(29-01-2019)* *MINISTRING: PASTOR EBENEZER OKECHUKWU* *TOPIC: PRAYER AND SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT* *TEXT: 2ND SAMUEL 15:1-15; Psalm 55:1* Sometimes we are sympathetic with our destroys so it becomes a problem when God wants to deal with them. Sometimes, out of lack of discernment we live with witches that cause of our problems and even feeding them. When the devil wants to deal with you, he uses people close to you. The Psalmist said, “the man who ate with me has lifted his hands against me”. You need discernment to know how to pray. You have discernment when you can tell good from evil, differentiate friends from enemies; when you know when to pray, “Father save them” and when to pray, “Father judge them”.  There are people that don’t change. There are “Sauls”(who later became Paul) and there are “Herods” (who died out of God’s judgement). There are people ...

Text; Galatians 3:1-29 Grace revolution is an explosive revelation that occurs in the innermost sanctum of our heart when you meet Jesus. - Whatever adversity you may faced with today your answers is found in Jesus. Christ in the hope of Glory. They glory you exert in this life depends on the revelation of the Glory of Christ in you. Your turnaround happens when you begin to hear about God's grace.. Because the law was given through a servant, Grace and truth came through the Son.... Under the law you are made righteousness when you do right but under Grace you're made righteous when you believe right. What willpower and self-effort cannot do, God will do by the power of his amazing grace.... True grace swallows up the destructive power of sin The key to living with greater confidence and boldness is knowing first and foremost that all your sins are forgiven. You need to accept his love today for you to enjoy the blessings of redemption, what you choose to believe today w...

*WAVES OF GLORY* – *DAY 16, EVENING SESSION* *(27-01-2019)* *MINISTRING: PASTOR EBENEZER OCKECHUKWU* *TOPIC: RECOGNISING THE ANSWERS TO YOUR PRAYERS* *TEXT: COLOSSIANS 4:2 (KJV, LB)* The bible clearly tells us that god is a prayer answering God. All over the scripture we are told that God answers our prayer (Isaiah 65:24, Matthew 7:7, 1st John 5:14, John 14:13). However, it is one thing for God to answer your prayers and another thing for you to recognize the answer to your prayers. Many people don’t recognize the answer to their prayers because many times the answers come in ways they are not expecting. The truth is that when you pray without seeing answers, prayers become discouragement. And when you pray and see answers you are motivated to pray. That is why the passage says watch out for the answers. That means recognizing answers is a cure to discouragement. *Ten ways the answer to prayer can come.* *1. Answers to prayer can come like an over flowing joy in your...

Lord help us to know Jesus as our light

*WAVES OF GLORY* – *DAY 17, MORNING SESSION* *(28-01-2019)* *MINISTRING: PASTOR EBENEZER OCKECHUKWU* *TOPIC: * *TEXT: EPHESIANS 3:20, JAMES 5:16 (AMP)* The scripture makes it broadly clear that every child of God (especially if you are a spirit filled child of God) is a power house- you are a power house. Answers to prayers in connected to the power of God working. There is a power you carry, resident within you. Until you pray that power can not come out. It is amazing that what God does in answers to our prayers is to release the power within us. This is God power at work within us. There is a difference between power resident and power at work. Most times the energy released is not the energy that is at work. You posses power but it is your prayer life that determines the power that will be activated. A man with a zero-prayer life will have zero power at work, even though he has power resident in him. Little prayer equal power little at work. Power is infinitely resident w...

John 1:4-12 There is no life outside of Christ.. The proof that a has received the life of Jesus Christ is that he will become light. Joh1:4-5. If you are a carrier of light it means there will be no confusion in your life and you will not be overtaken by challenges. At new birth we receive the power to become the sons of God. Authority and Dominion is given to us through the faith we have in Christ. Christ centered living is all about living in Grace and truth( Grace is the ability of God working in us, through us and for us while truth here is the principle that surrounds the sovereign control and authority of God's kingdom. You need to accept his love today for you to enjoy the blessings of redemption, what you choose to believe today will affect your life Tomorrow. He has died for you and your sins are forgiven. Now are you ready for Him, Accept Him today and Now by praying this prayer voice it with your mouth. O Lord I confess with my mouth and believe with my heart tha...

*WAVES OF GLORY – DAY 15, EVENING SESSION* *(26-01-2019)* *MINISTERING: PASTOR EBENEZER OKECHUKWU* *TOPIC: LIVING AND PRAYING IN THE POWER OF THE HOLYSPIRIT* *TEXT: LUKE 4:14* It is not possible to make it through life without the Holy Spirit. I really wonder how people live without Him. The thought of me living without Him scares me; I can not even imagine it. It is not possible to live without Him as a Christian. If there is any body that would have made it through life without the Holy Spirit it is our Lord Jesus Christ. But we see that the Holy Spirit was prominent from his conception to his ascension. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35). His growing up was also through the Holy Spirit, “and He grew in wisdom and stature”; It is not possible to grow in wisdom and stature without the Holy Spirit. In His baptism, the Holy Spirit announced Him (Luke 3:22). In Luke chapter four His prayer life was empowered by the Holy Spirit. Jesus could have ende...

Thus, stop listening to the accusations of the devil,stop the crying, stop the 'daily confessions ' for He is faithful and just to forgive and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness: be at peace with God and with yourself ; relax in your Father's Love, for there is now therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Guilt is a spiritual poison. It robs a man his faith and confidence ; It cripples giants... Keeping them in a particular place... Guilt comes from the devil. It is one of the enemy's devices to trap a man down by always reminding you of the sins you committed both knowingly and unknowingly and how that God has not forgiven you... To overcome guilt, every believer must know that the Holy Spirit will not bring to your remembrance the sins God forgave. (Hebrew 8:12, 10:17) for He doesn't remember them at all. Believers must also be aware that God not only forgive our sins, but doesn't impute sin in us as we walk in the Light (Psal...

MINISTERING: PASTOR EBENEZER OKECHUKWU TOPIC: ADVANCING GOD'S KINGDOM THROUGH COMMITMENT TO YOUR BUSINESS TEXT: 2 KINGS 7:1-7 (KJV) The passage we read is a familiar story of a widow whose husband happens to be one of the sons of the prophet who died. This woman was in debt and the creditor came after her two sons. The creditor wanted to take her two sons for slaves. That's why God is not in support of debt. When a man accumulates debt today, he jeopardizes the future. This woman quickly ran to the man of God –Elisha. The man of God didn’t command money to appear. There is something miracle can do for you, and there is something diligent business will do for you. God always want to do more for us than we are asking for. Business is beautiful. Christian can be involved in businesses. Not just can, but should be and must be involved in businesses. Why should Christians get involved in businesses? 1. For the purpose of creating wealth. Wealth c...

*WAVES OF GLORY – DAY 9, EVENING SESSION (20-01-2019)* *MINISTERING: PASTOR EBENEZER OKECHUKWU* *TOPIC: PRAYER AND THE GIFTS* *TEXT: ACTS 13:1-2* The objectives this evening's message is to let us appreciate the place of the gift of the Holy Spirit in maximizing seasons of fasting and prayer. We want to see the importance of the gifts of Holy Spirit in maximizing seasons of prayer and fasting. *The communion of today is for the impartation and the reactivation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.* In the scripture where we read, the church at Antioch was fasting and prayer and in the middle of that fasting and prayers a Spiritual gift broke out –the gift of prophesy. This gift gave direction on what should be done with two people (Paul and Barnabas). By this they were released into their destiny;  they  were moved from being just prophets and teachers to being Apostles (Ability to land in place with nothing and generate a move for God is accomplished through Apos...

*WAVES OF GLORY – DAY 14, MORNING SESSION (25-01-2019)* *MINISTERING: PASTOR EBENEZER OKECHUKWU* *TOPIC: PRAYER AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD OF GOD* *TEXT: Psalm 119:41, 92* Prayer in its authentic form is nothing but insisting that situations and circumstances must work according to the Word of God. That simply means that, a man who is ignorant of the Word of God will not know what to pray or how to pray. The starting point of effectiveness in prayers is the Word of God. The Psalmist said “I came out of your my affliction because I delighted in your Word”, that is to say, a man who values the Word cannot be swallowed by his affliction. *What is the connection between faith and the WORD of God?* *1. The WORD of God impacts faith and faith is the fuel for prayer (Romans 10:17):* Many times, we can be praying “Lord give me faith”. Yes, that is good but there is a limit to that. Study the WORD because faith comes from hearing the Word. *2. The Word of God impacts light, it im...
