This teaching emphasizes that faith is not mere boldness, but led action—action guided by God through prayer and obedience. Listeners are reminded that no one is ever too far gone to return to God’s path; if there is life, there is hope. God can redirect anyone willing to retrace their steps and submit to His leading.

Drawing richly from Old Testament examples—Israel in the wilderness, David’s repeated inquiries of the Lord, and lessons from Israel’s failures—the message shows that God has always led His people by His Spirit. Just as Israel moved only when the cloud moved, believers today are called to move, wait, and act only as God directs, avoiding haste, presumption, and restless decision-making.

The episode strongly highlights prayer—especially praying in the Spirit—as the foundation for hearing God clearly, shedding light on decisions, and discovering His perfect will. Success in God’s eyes is not measured by money, speed, or visible results, but by obedience, alignment with His plan, and faithfulness in building His Kingdom.

A sobering and practical call to slow down, ask God questions, guard His Word for your life, and live by divine leading rather than pressure, ambition, or circumstance—because fortune truly favors the led, not merely the bold.

In Part 4 of Following God’s Plans for Your Life, we’re reminded that “what works” isn’t automatically God’s will. Using Psalm 127 and key New Testament passages, this message teaches that believers are God’s temple and God’s building—so our lives must be built according to His pattern, not personal preference or trial-and-error.

You’ll hear how God offers accuracy and guidance: “This is the way, walk in it” (Isaiah 30:21), and how His love means He is eager to lead His children by the Holy Spirit—our Helper, Counselor, and Advocate (John 14). The episode emphasizes that we’re designed to hear God’s voice (John 10:27) and that consistent prayer—especially praying in tongues—trains our ears, reveals God’s mysteries, and helps us “pray out” His plan until it “works out” in our lives.

Finally, the teaching calls us to avoid distractions and “weights” that compete with purpose—unnecessary relationships, wasted time, and casual decisions—and to follow God’s plan fully in every area so we can run our race with peace, patience, and lasting reward.

This episode continues the teaching on Following God’s Plans for Your Life, anchored in Psalm 127, reminding us that anything built without God—even if successful in the eyes of people—is ultimately vain. We are encouraged to stop living by personal ambition, popular opinion, or convenience, and instead intentionally seek God’s will before making decisions.

The message explains how believers are God’s workmanship, created for good works He has already prepared, and why God’s primary work in the earth is building His Church and discipling people. Emphasis is placed on prayer, especially praying in the Spirit, as the key to hearing God clearly, avoiding wrong paths, and walking in prepared plans.

This episode calls believers to slow down, guard God’s plan, make careful life choices, and pray it out before working it out, trusting that God’s plan—though sometimes slower—is always sure, rewarding, and filled with life and peace.

In Part 2 of this teaching series, we go deeper into what it truly means to follow God’s plan rather than our own ambitions. Using Scripture such as Psalm 127, Genesis 11, Proverbs 3, Acts 22, Hebrews 12, and John 14, this message emphasizes that success in the eyes of men does not always equal approval from God.

We are challenged to stop measuring proof of God’s will by what “works” naturally, looks impressive, or feels right. Instead, we are called to ask God intentionally, wait patiently, and obey faithfully. The episode highlights the danger of self-made plans, rushed decisions, and passion-driven choices, and contrasts them with a life led by the Holy Spirit and grounded in God’s Word.

This message also explores:

• Why God blesses His plans, not ours

• The importance of patience, discipline, and moderation in running our Christian race

• Laying aside weights, sin, and distractions to run with endurance

• The role of the Holy Spirit as our Helper, Guide, and Counselor

• Living for God’s applause, not the approval of people

The episode closes with a strong call to prayer and consecration—inviting believers to commit their careers, relationships, decisions, and future fully to God’s leading. A powerful reminder that a life led by God is a life of peace, clarity, and eternal reward.

In this episode, we begin a series on following God’s plan. The message warns against “labouring in vain” (Psalm 127:1–2): building something that looks successful but lacks God’s approval.

Through Scripture and real-life examples (Genesis 11; 1 Kings 8; Acts 22; Ephesians 5; Romans 12; Philippians 3; 2 Corinthians 5), we’re reminded that a good idea isn’t always God’s idea. The call is to reject selfish ambition, stop living by applause or popular opinion, and refuse “trial-and-error” Christianity. Instead, we learn to seek, prove, and obey the will of the Lord, even when it means patience, sacrifice, hearing “no,” or choosing obedience over money and comfort.

This message is a strong invitation to deeper consecration: God leads, we follow—and the truly blessed life is the one aligned with His plans and purposes.

This sermon calls believers to end the year and begin the new one with gratitude, conviction, and renewed trust in God. We are reminded that thanksgiving is a deliberate choice in every season and that a meaningful life is one lived Soli Deo Gloria—for God’s glory alone. The message emphasizes that human strength, connections, and resources are unreliable, but God Himself is our true and unfailing help. As the new year begins, believers are urged to lean fully on the Holy Spirit through prayer, obedience, and service, aligning their lives with God’s purposes. The sermon closes with a faith-filled charge to trust God’s help, prioritize His kingdom, and step into a year of fruitfulness, prayer, and divine multiplication. 

This episode reflects on the true meaning of Christmas: the coming of Jesus Christ, God revealed in the flesh. Drawing from Scripture, it shows that Jesus came not only to take away the sins of the world, but to reveal God’s nature, fill believers with the Holy Spirit, and commission them to live for His purposes. Christmas reminds us that our lives no longer belong to ourselves—we now live for Christ, to know Him and make Him known. As God continues to build His church, believers are called to pray, preach, and actively participate in the harvest of souls, making their lives count for the gospel.

As the year draws to a close, Pastor Tolu Ayeni encouraged believers to prepare for the new year through prayerful reflection and surrender to God’s will. Rather than reviewing life through comparison, pressure, or personal ambition, we are encouraged to let God appraise our year and direct our future. Planning is presented as a spiritual act—one that must be led by God, not feelings, finances, connections, or human promises. True fulfilment, peace, and provision are found only in God’s plans. As we step into the new year, the call is clear: seek God first, trust His leading, and commit every plan to Him—because only what God builds will truly last. 

This episode reclaims the true meaning of Christmas—not as a commercial holiday, but as the celebration of God Himself taking on flesh to redeem humanity. We reflect on the birth of Jesus Christ as the only way to God, the source of true joy, peace, and salvation. Tracing redemption through both the Old and New Testaments, the message reveals Christ as our living Kinsman-Redeemer who paid the ultimate price to free us from sin, bondage, and fear. Because He lives, our redemption is complete, our salvation is secure, and our lives now belong to Him as God’s special people.
