Rev. Fitzgerald Odonkor 3rd April, 2022  HOW TO BECOME VESSELS OF SUPERNATURAL GROWTH   Introduction § A vessel of honour is one that is intimately associated with the ways of God.   § Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Amen. § Psalm 103:7   Some questions we should ask ourselves include: - What should we do to become vessels of God? - How do we align ourselves with the purpose(s) of God so that the acts of God become commonplace to us?   To become Vessels for Supernatural Growth… 1. May we know the ways of God and not just His acts. To know His ways is to know that He is a faithful God - 1 Thessalonians 5:24   Let us focus more on the ways of God so His acts will come our way. 2. Allow the Word of God to change us – Colossians 3:16-17. The Word of God must always take precedence - Acts 19:20, John 15:30   3. Let us be engaged and committed - Engage God (put Him in a tight corner). We must learn to engage (with) the Word of God and be committed to the work of God - John 15:4-5   4. Be bold - Acts 4:12-13, Acts 3:1-7 (some people’s miracles are tied to our boldness)   Hebrews 11:7 (Noah moved in faith although he was afraid. Move in spite of the fear you may have), Galatians 6:9-10 May we take steps of faith for the kingdom and not for ourselves. Remember that the disciples were bold and that being bold has nothing to do with your physique. 5. Learn to pray together – 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Acts 4:23-31, Ephesians 6:18   Let us learn how to go back to our own company. Who is/are your company? May we be people of prayer. 6. Our priorities must change - Acts 4:34, Matthew 6:19-21   We must be a Jesus-first church – John 3:30 7. Preach and teach the Word – Acts 4:1-2, Acts 17:1-4   Conclusion It is important to see ourselves as central to the work of God because He wants to do some good works through us. These good works will bring supernatural growth.

Working Together Rev. Fitzgerald Odonkor 13th March, 2022   Introduction Supernatural growth will be a natural consequence of working together. There is some revelation and synergy that comes from working together so when we learn to do this, we will trigger the supernatural.   Ecclesiastes 4:9-10  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. Amen.   Matthew 18:18-20   How to Work Together   1.     Have a common vision  -        Nehemiah 2:17-18 -        Amos 3:3 -        Proverbs 29:18 (AMPC) – Recognise that our destinies are linked together -       1 Corinthians 1:10 -        Acts 4:32 – Focus on the things we have in common. Be driven by what binds us; not what divides us.   2.     Sharpen/ Quicken one another -        Proverbs 27:17 (NLT) – Learn to sharpen and help each other  -        Hebrews 10:24 -        Romans 15:1 – Do not just please yourself; learn to please others also -        Ephesians 2:21 -        1 Corinthians 12:7   3.     Learn to serve one another  -        Malachi 3:16-18 -        1 Peter 4:10-11 (NLT) God distinguishes between those who serve Him and those who do not.    4.     Strive to preach the Gospel -        Philippians 1:27 -        Jude 22, 23 -   Mark 6:7 Strive for the faith.   Conclusion We cannot have effective churches in the house, and consequently in the church, if we fail to learn to work together.  Read more: Working Together

Fitzgerald Odonkor 27th February, 2022   Introduction 2 Thessalonians 3:5 (NLT) May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.  Amen.   The love of God must be worked out.      How to Work Out the Love of God 1.      Be filled with the fullness of God not just the knowledge (a mental assent) of God. It is impossible to fail when the love of God is at work. If there is anything that does not fail, it is the love of God. Love does not fail.  -        Ephesians 3: 19 -        1 Corinthians 13:8-9   2.      Visitation – Do what Jesus did. Jesus visited Peter. Visit someone who cannot pay you back.  - Acts 2:44-46 -        Romans 16:1-15   Paul visited people. -        Acts 20:18-20   3.      Support the vulnerable -        Luke 10:27-37 -        1 Thessalonians 1:3 -        Luke 15:1-6   4.      Be generous -        Psalm 41:1-3 -        Acts 2:45   5.      Acceptance – be accepting of people and accept them as they are; not as they should be. However, do not leave them as they are.  - John 4:1-24    Worshiping God in spirit and in truth is accepting one another.  -        Zephaniah 3:17   6.      Be committed to Kingdom service -        2 Corinthians 5:14-15,20     Conclusion There is labour in love. Let us be willing to go through the process so we can end up with the product. We must commit to love if we want to see supernatural growth this year.    Read more: The Working Of Love
