📌 Work has always been God's idea from the very beginning.

In Genesis 2:8, God planted a garden, and Adam continued what God started. This shows that work was always an extension of worship, not a punishment or distraction from it.

✨ When your motives are right, showing up diligently in your job, business, or craft is pleasing to God.

📌 God wants us to engage the world, not hide from it.

He wants us to dominate, build, create, and shape culture. We were reminded that we are not built for the church alone, we're built to shine our light in secular spaces too!

📌 Just like the prophets in the Bible days, who had both spiritual and administrative excellence, God is raising believers who can pray in tongues and manage systems.

God wants those who can host His presence and drive innovation.

By giving us a means of livelihood, God has given us power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18)

📌 Divine provision is not manna falling from heaven; it's God opening doors, giving you ideas, and trusting you to work with His wisdom.

Because Grace doesn't cancel work, Grace empowers it. 🔥

✨ True worship continues beyond Sunday. It's seen in how we live, how we work, and how we represent Christ daily.

✨ Grace gives us the strength to build, create, and influence the world around us for His glory.

The Working of The Spirit message:

The Holy Spirit is given to every believer to guide, teach, and empower for godly living.

The Spirit reveals the mind of God and brings understanding of spiritual truths.

He works in the heart to produce fruit such as love, joy, peace, patience, and self-control.

The Spirit empowers believers for service, ministry, and witness.

Prayer is effective when led by the Spirit, who intercedes beyond human weakness.

Walking in the Spirit means yielding daily to His leading rather than following the flesh.

Spiritual gifts are distributed by the Spirit to build up the body of Christ.

Sensitivity to the Spirit’s voice requires obedience, humility, and a pure heart.

The Spirit convicts of sin, assures of salvation, and strengthens faith.

The Christian life is victorious only through dependence on the Holy Spirit.

Apostle explained that the desire of God is for us to draw closer to Him, not dwelling on our flaws, but embracing His charge to live fully for Him. (Jeremiah 23:18; 16)He reminded us that much of the chaos we see in the world has roots in spirituality. (Revelation 6:4–6)So, as believers, it is our divine destiny to function in the counsel of God, to know things beforehand, and to live in the reality of His Word. (Isaiah 6:8; Hebrews 11:3)

Here are some key takeaways from the sermon: Refuse to be a pawn in life’s battles. Begin to see through the lens of the Spirit and take charge of your reality. The Necessity of Prayer:• Prayer is how we command our realities.• ⁠We should actively refuse to be victims of the common realities around us by taking charge in prayer • We should learn to intercede for others, not just pray for ourselves as this sets us as partners with Christ and gives us a prophetic edge. The Importance of Praise:• We should cultivate an agenda-free worship life with God. By praising Him for who He is, not only for what we need.

Faith is not passive, it is active, prayerful, and full of worship. When we live by faith, we cease to be victims of circumstances and begin to walk in the reality God destined for us.

📌 When Nicodemus inquired of the Lord, Jesus took his focus away from the activity to the environment that produces the activity (John 3:3).

📌 Hebrews 11:3 — Faith is a concept of possibility. It plugs you into a realm where there is no impossibility.

📌 Hebrews 11:11 — We have an insurance with God. Come to terms with God’s economy.

📌 Luke 9:16 — You are never out of options.

The Holy Ghost is enough. With the Holy Ghost, you can do all things. 💪🔥

📌 Faith gives you the opportunity to superimpose the laws and possibilities of Heaven here on earth (John 3:3-4).

THREE THINGS TO PAY ATTENTION TO:

1. Your concept of capital must change. What you have is enough if God sent you. The new currency is the Spirit.

2. Your concept of impossibility must change. God did not create the laws of biology, physics, economics, or medicine to limit what He wants to do with your life (Luke 1:38).

3. Your concept of time must also change — you don’t need to be old before it happens.

''If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”
Galatians 5:25 NKJV
True sanctification is not a matter of willpower but of walking in step with the Spirit. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, empowers us to overcome it, and transforms us from the inside out, leading us into a life that pleases God.

Discerning your role in this move of God
Preacher: Apostle Emmanuel Iren
🔸Things that hinder us in our Christian journey. Hebrews 12:1
1. Sin
2. Weight
Every sin is a weight, but not every weight is a sin.
What kind of weight do we need to lay aside?
- Fear
🔸There is a weight of circumstances that may make you want to put purpose on the back burner
🔸When things get tough, don’t let go of the kingdom and isolate. Stay in service
Matt 6:33, Romans 8:35-36
🔸Sometimes, all we are going through individually fits like a puzzle in our corporate vision
🔸When we come together, we must serve one another for the corporate vision and allow the graces of each person shine where needed.

FUELING THE ENGINE”.
We were reminded that Church is not an event, but a living organism to which we belong (1 Corinthians 12:12, 21).
Here are a few key points from the service:
1️⃣ Many of us think of “church” as a place we go to or a program we watch. But in God’s design, the Church is a body, every part connected, every member needed.
2️⃣ Just like we feel the pain of a toothache when one small part of the body is hurt, the absence or silence of one member affects the whole. Our presence, voice, and contribution matter, not just to people, but to God Himself (Numbers 11:27, Ephesians 4:16).
3️⃣ The early Church understood this. They weren’t spectators; they were participants. Just like in Numbers 11:27, where even those who did not gather still received the Spirit, God has marked us as part of His family.
4️⃣ Belonging comes with responsibility. Ephesians 4:16 says that every joint supplies. We must be dependable for our contributions to the corporate mission, not as silent spectators, but as active participants.

Apostle also showed us, from Scripture, what a Biblical Church really looks like, and how it differs from today’s common idea of church.
This brings us to the acronym ICAME:
📌I – IDENTITY
Church is not an event; it is a family and a people. We have an identity.
📌C – COMMITMENT
Not as customers, but as covenant members. We don’t serve God as we like but as He likes. The cross demands our honor and reverence.
📌A – ACCOUNTABILITY
Every church has leaders, and God expects us to submit, receive corrections, and walk in love. Paul even says in 1 Corinthians 5:4-5 that to be outside the local church is to be in Satan’s territory.
📌M – MISSION
Our lives must align with the corporate mission of the Gospel, not just personal pursuits.
📌E – ECONOMICS
Families share responsibility. In the same way, God expects us to steward His house with generosity. As 1 Corinthians 9:7-11 reminds us, no soldier goes to war at his own expense. Out of love and duty, we ought to give consistently to fuel the spread of the Gospel.
As we continue this week, let us do the following 👇🏾
✅ Be intentional about showing up for our local church gatherings.
✅ Look for ways to serve with our gifts.
✅ Practice cheerful, consistent giving for the mission.
✅ Embrace accountability and spiritual discipline.
✅ Live each day on gospel mission.
The train is moving! The Gospel is advancing, and God has called us to be part of His engine. 🚂

Drawing from Matthew 9:36-38, Apostl reminded us that we are not called to merely attend church but to be the church. Unlike agriculture where harvest is the end of labor, in the Kingdom, harvest marks the beginning of labor.

Here are some highlights from the message:

📍 Jesus responds to growth with compassion, and He expects us to do the same.
📍 The harvest is not just about souls — it’s also about the need for more labourers.
📍 Being part of the church means thinking and acting like family, not like customers who walk away when displeased.
📍 When you notice a need in church, your first response should be prayer (Matthew 9:38).
📍 Every believer is called to see themselves as part of the solution for the harvest (Matthew 28:18; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20).
📍 Growth comes through community — you need a small circle of believers you can build with (1 Corinthians 14:26).
📍 Church is not just about receiving; it’s about supplying, serving, and saving lives through your contribution.
📍 True apostolic churches thrive beyond the presence of the pastor, because every member is equipped to build (Ephesians 4:11).

At the core, the message was clear: we are co-labourers with Christ, not mere spectators.
Your place in the movement matters. The church grows when every joint supplies, and God calls each of us to plug in and play our part.

In this Sermon, Apostle shared a powerful reminder about God’s design for human connection. From the very beginning, in Genesis 2:18, God declared, “It is not good for the man to be alone.”

This truth wasn’t just about marriage, but about the broader danger of solitude. It was the Manufacturer Himself telling us how His creation was designed to function: in fellowship, not isolation. If you can go days or weeks without genuine connection, without anyone to check in on you, that is not God’s best for you.

Here are some key takeaways from the message:

📌 Loneliness is a curse. You can be at the center of attraction and still feel deeply isolated. Even psychology calls loneliness a public health pandemic.

📌 Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 reminds us: “Two are better than one… If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.”

📌 Even Adam, who walked with God daily, was told by God Himself that it was not good for him to be alone. Companionship is part of divine design.

📌 Sometimes, just the presence of another person can give you the fighting chance to keep going.

📌 If you struggle with loneliness, overwhelming responsibilities, or find it hard to delegate, that’s a sign of dysfunction you must confront and heal.

📌 Jesus did not come to start a new religion; He came to create a family. In Christianity, we don’t just have members—we have brothers and sisters.

📌 In John 14:2, when Jesus said He was going to prepare a place, it was family language—the language of a Son building a home for His Father’s children.

📌 Christ shed His blood to bring us into this divine family. That means the Church is not just a community you attend, but the primary family you belong to.

Responsibilities in this family:

• Carry each other’s burdens (Galatians 6:2).

• Be known by love. Jesus said, “By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35).

• Do good to all people, especially believers (Galatians 6:10).

The call is not only to receive but to also give. Even in your own struggles, you can lift someone else. Show the love of Christ by reaching out, even to the undeserving.

Everyone has blind spots—who helps you see yours? Who are your trusted advisors? Remember: the enemy’s strategy often begins with isolation. Don’t let him succeed.

💡 God designed you for community, for fellowship, and for family. Choose to belong. Choose to be present. Choose COMM-YOU-NITY.

Apostle reminded us that the enemy’s most dangerous tactic is not always open opposition, but clever imitation. Satan doesn’t just attack the truth—he counterfeits it. This is why the Word of God must remain our most reliable and trustworthy compass. 📖

Here are some key takeaways:

📌 In the realm of the spirit, your surest guide is God’s Word. (Numbers 24:17)
📌 Fruit alone isn’t always a true test—even evil can appear “accurate.” (Isaiah 14:29, Genesis 3:1, Numbers 21:1, 6–7)
📌 There is no Christianity without theology—you must know the truth about Christ to follow Him rightly.
📌 Every spiritual experience must be weighed against Scripture. Even Satan quoted the Bible to Jesus. (Matthew 4:6)
✨ If a vision or revelation contradicts Scripture, discard it immediately.
📌 Be precise about what you believe—some things look so similar, only the Spirit and the Word can help you discern. (2 Corinthians 11:14, Acts 16:16–17)

Apostle also answered the question: Why Theology?

📌 Theology gives structure to worship—it’s the lyrics of our praise. (Exodus 34:6–7)
✨ Our theology is incomplete if it doesn’t lead to reverence. (John 4:20–21)
✨ God doesn’t accept “anyhow” worship. That was Cain’s error. (Genesis 4:6–7)
✨ Discernment is not automatic; only sound doctrine equips us to spot falsehood. (2 Corinthians 11:14)
✨ False doctrine isn’t always new—it’s often recycled lies.

🔥 Finally, guard your doctrine closely. Not every debate is worth entertaining. As Bible students, we must know when to engage and when to walk away. (1 Timothy 6:3)

As we go through the week, let’s remember: knowing the Word is not just for Bible scholars—it’s for every believer! The Word is our protection, our anchor, and our light in a world of spiritual counterfeits.
