In this opening message of the New Dawn series, Unlocking Your New Dawn, we are reminded that new seasons are not birthed casually. Just as Elijah prayed until rain broke forth, there are promises, prophecies, and ordained breakthroughs that will not manifest without travailing prayer. This message calls us higher into precision in prayer, and spiritual intensity. When something contradicts Scripture, we do not adjust the Word to fit our reality. We pray until the gates break, until victory settles in our spirit, and until the new dawn breaks forth.

In this sermon, Pastor Deji explores the "Right Perspective About Marriage", explaining that marriage is a divine institution designed for God's purposes rather than a social contract for personal happiness.

The message highlights three key functions of marriage: a tool for sanctification, a platform for discipleship, and a means for kingdom advancement.

In this sermon, Pastor Deji addresses the "Right Perspective About Marriage", emphasising that marriage is an institution created by God for His purposes rather than just personal happiness. Using Genesis 2:18 as the main text, Pastor Deji highlights that God initiated the union between man and woman to provide a "helper" with complementary skills to fulfil a divine assignment.

The sermon outlines three primary purposes for marriage: spiritual growth and sanctification, discipleship and legacy, and kingdom building.

Marriage works best when God’s order is honored. This message walks through the biblical foundation for marriage, clarifying roles, responsibility, and the spiritual weight of covenant. Rather than cultural assumptions or personal preference, we’re invited to see marriage as God designed it; anchored in love, leadership, honor, and mutual accountability.

What happens when what we call “normal” is actually spiritual? This message invites us to see marriage through God’s lens—not as a social arrangement or emotional contract, but as a spiritual covenant that requires alignment, discernment, and intentionality. We’re reminded that the decisions we make in the natural carry weight in the spirit, and that thriving relationships are built on wisdom, obedience, and understanding God’s design.

In this message, we journey through the story of the lost son and discover that the Father’s greatest desire has always been relationship, not performance. Whether you relate more to the younger son who walked away, the older son who stayed but missed the Father’s heart, or the servant who is busy without intimacy, this message calls us back to what matters most. A powerful reminder that life begins in connection with God, and being found starts with coming home.
