*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.

*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...
