Stand Firm (2022 District Convocation) : Cletus C. Orgu 

Effective Communication For Christian Leaders : Engr Abiodun FIjabi 

To be with God connotes being in His presence. The presence of God makes all the difference in our lives in every ramification. The presence of God comes with His glory, protection, provision, blessings, healings, and of course, salvation. These are the protocols that go with the presence of God.

Today we shall attempt to discuss what it entails to attract God’s presence, staying in His presence, and the consequence of rejecting His presence.

Prayer School July 2022: Kinds of Prayer.

The times are becoming challenging around the world and Nigeria in particular. The situation is inflicting pain and frustrations on many of our people and believers are not insulated. It is against this background that we are reminded to hold on fast to our faith and remain ‘continually with God.”

The Psalmist fully aware of his own lost condition and of the deceitfulness and vileness of his own nature, in glorious outburst of faith could still sing:

“Nevertheless I am continually with You.”

As believers, our confession and acknowledgement, like the Psalmist’s, will be:

‘Nevertheless, since I belong to Christ, I am continually with God!’

What is the meaning of blessed? Christians use the words blessed and blessing more and rightfully so. Blessed is a Christian word. It is a spiritual word. It is a biblical word. It has been hijacked by our culture; many people use the word every day. 

People may talk about "blessings" in their lives, but the nonbeliever has no idea what a real blessing is, because only the child of God truly knows what it is to be blessed. So, what does it mean to be blessed? The word blessed as used by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount comes from the Greek word Makarios, which means to be happy, a self-contained happiness.

All earthly blessings are pale when compared with being conformed with the image of Christ, because in Christ dwells the fullness of the Godhead. (Colossians 2:9)

Often, we are distracted with the pursuit of physical blessings not realizing that spiritual blessings command physical blessings. Jesus counsels us to “… seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33). To be blessed, we must first come into relationship with the God of Great Deeds who alone can bless. He blessed Abraham and is willing to bless anyone who comes to Him through His son Jesus. COME AND BE BLESSED

He Will Do It For You -  Rev Jonathan Odega (Full Sermon):  Sunday July 24, 2022

Without denying the reality of suffering, joy should characterize the life of the people of “My God of Great Deeds.” It is the gift of God to us; the fruit the Holy Spirit produces in us. Our joy makes the gospel attractive to the watching world.
