Minister: Pastor Femi Paul

Theme: We Declare in Worship & Thanksgiving: The Lord Has Done It Again!

Key Scripture: Psalm 133:1 & 3 (NKJV)

Today, we gathered as one joyful family to give thanks for every victory, every miracle, every blessing, and every testimony God graciously bestowed on us this year. Pastor Femi Paul led Grace Assembly in a powerful time of prophetic thanksgiving and unity, declaring that our collective worship has unlocked the place where God commands His blessings.

He affirmed that because the Lord has done it again, our thanksgiving is not empty - it is a response to the evidence of God’s Goodness already at work among us. Pastor decreed that commanded blessings - undeniable, unstoppable, irreversible favour and life - are being released upon the church and every family connected to this house!

Confession: The Lord has done it again! His goodness continues in my life. His commanded blessings rest upon Grace Assembly and every household here. We walk into the New Year with testimonies multiplied!

And because we are a church that remembers and responds in thanksgiving,

The Lord will do it yet again and again and again!

Pastor Femi Paul declared with boldness and prophetic authority that God Himself will conclude 2025 for us with His Goodness - nothing less! We lifted our voices in warfare, refusing every contrary outcome. We proclaimed that the year will not end with hardship, lack, bills, disappointment, or trouble, only God’s Goodness! For us and our loved ones, December is ordained for divine satisfaction, joy, and testimonies.

Through Scripture, Pastor reminded us that God’s Goodness is abundant, overflowing, undeniable, and it shall manifest before the year is over.

We prayed and declared:

✨ “My year will be crowned with God’s Goodness!”

✨ “More than enough blessings, much more than enough!”

✨ “Victory, joy, peace and praise will fill my December!”

So shall it be for us and our families in Jesus’ name!

At our Retro Praise Service, Pastor Colins Nwosu brought this powerful and practical message titled “Timothy, The Real Thing.” Using Philippians 2:19–22, he described Timothy as a rare believer - loyal, genuine, and deeply committed to the things of Christ. Unlike many who sought their own interests, Timothy consistently served with purity of heart and proven character (Phil. 2:22 NKJV). Pastor Colins showed how Timothy’s journey started in Acts 16:1–3, shaped by a godly mother and grandmother, and strengthened as he followed Paul closely in ministry.

Pastor Colins emphasised that character is what makes a believer “the real thing.” Quoting Helen Keller: “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet” he explained that true character is formed through discipline, sacrifice, consistency, and the work of the Spirit. Galatians 5:20–23 highlights the fruit of the Spirit as the markers of Christlike character. He concluded that like Timothy, every believer is called to live beyond reputation - to be authentic, dependable, and devoted in service to God and others (1 Cor. 9:19–23 MSG). The real thing shows in character.

Prayer: Lord, build in me real character. Help me live with integrity, consistency, and devotion like Timothy. Let the fruit of the Spirit shape my life so I can be the “real thing” in my generation. Amen.

Message Title: …After That: The Story of Job

Minister: Pastor Colins Nwosu

Text References: Job 42:16 (NLT); Job 1:1 (NLT, MSG); Job 1:20 (CEV); Job 2:8–10 (CEV); Job 19:25–26 (NIV); Psalm 20:7–8 (BBE, NCV); Job 42:10–11 (CEV)

At today’s Interactive Midweek Service, Pastor Colins Nwosu taught on “…After That: The Story of Job”, reminding us that the life of Job is the clearest picture of how God writes glorious endings after painful seasons. Beginning with Job 1:1, Pastor Colins highlighted Job’s character - a man who was upright, devoted, and God-fearing. Yet life dealt him unimaginable blows. Still, even in sorrow (Job 1:20 CEV) and confusion (Job 2:8–10 CEV), Job refused to curse God; instead, he worshipped.

Pastor Colins explained that unwavering faith is what carried Job through. Like Psalm 20:7–8 teaches, men trust in chariots and horses, but those who trust in the Lord stand upright after others fall. The message climaxed with Job’s restoration in Job 42:10–11, where God turned his captivity, doubled his blessings, surrounded him with favour, and restored honour to his story. Pastor Colins reminded us that Job lived long and well after that (Job 42:16).

Prayer: Lord, I trust You with my story. After every challenge, let Your restoration speak. Turn my captivity, renew my strength, and write a better ending than my beginning, just as You did for Job. Amen.

At our Premium Worship & Prayers Service, Pastor Femi Paul brought a prophetic teaching titled “Served GoodNews by Angels!” Declaring Psalm 21:3, PFP reminded us that God sends “blessings of good things to meet us” - meaning Good News is not something we chase, it is something God dispatches in our direction. Using the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth in Luke 1, he showed that God often uses angels as divine messengers to deliver Good News at the exact appointed time. Gabriel himself declared, “I stand in the very presence of God… He sent me to bring you this GoodNews!” (Luke 1:19 NLT).

PFP highlighted that Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous, blameless, and consistent in their walk with God - yet waiting. Their story proves that delay is never denial; when heaven is ready, angels move! He taught that God’s Good News package is two-fold: personal (for individuals and families) and national (for the land and nation itself). As God sent Gabriel to bring a long-awaited breakthrough to Zechariah personally, PFP declared that in this season, God will send Good News to meet us personally and send heavenly intervention to our nation. Truly, we will be served Good News by angels!

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for sending Good News my way. I receive every blessing, breakthrough, and divine announcement You have prepared for me. Let angels be dispatched over my life, my family, and my nation. Amen.

At our 1st GoodNews Special Service, Pastor Femi Paul declared the prophetic word titled “After That…” a reminder that after every season of trial, testing, or delay, God has ordained a season of Good News. From Isaiah 52:7, PFP affirmed his assignment for the day: “I didn’t come to preach, I came to declare Good News!” He declared peace, salvation, and glad tidings of good things over the house. He taught that Good News refreshes the weary, just as Proverbs 25:25 describes it as “cold water to a tired soul.”

Using Job 42:16–17, PFP emphasised that Job’s story truly began after “that”, after pain, loss, and hardship, God ushered him into longevity, restoration, joy and a good life. Likewise, Zechariah 3:10 paints God’s promise of what happens after that: peace, prosperity, stability, and home ownership. PFP declared boldly that after all you’ve been through, Good News will come knocking on your door peace, restoration, good things, and divine turnaround. Today wasn’t just a sermon; it was a proclamation that your “after that” season has begun!

Prayer: Lord, thank You for my “after that” season. I receive Good News, peace, restoration, and every good thing You have declared over my life. Let glad tidings locate me and let Your reign be seen in my story. Amen.

At today’s Interactive Midweek Service, Pastor Femi Paul taught on “Satisfied with the Goodness of God”, unveiling the abundant blessing reserved for those who draw near and choose to dwell in God’s presence. From Psalm 65:4–5, PFP reminded us that the person God chooses and brings close is blessed because God satisfies His own with the BEST. According to the Olive Tree Strong’s Dictionary, “goodness” (ṭûḇ) is in the superlative: it means the best, good things, prosperity, and joy. God’s house is not ordinary; it is the place where His goodness overflows.

PFP then highlighted that those who dwell in God’s house (Psalm 23:6) experience consistent mercy, protection, and satisfaction. He then posed a question: “Are you dwelling or merely visiting?” Many dwell in the world and only “visit” God occasionally, yet dwelling requires commitment, consistency, and prioritising God above all else. As Psalm 122:1 declares, there is joy in going to God’s house, and Psalm 36:7–8 reveals that those who take refuge in Him are “abundantly satisfied” and drink from the river of His pleasures. The message was clear: when you dwell, God satisfies you with the fullness of His house, His goodness, joy, prosperity, and every blessing that makes life whole.

Prayer: Lord, I choose to dwell in Your presence. Satisfy me with the goodness of Your house. Let Your mercy, joy, and prosperity flow into every area of my life as I remain rooted in You. Amen.

Today’s Communion Service was themed “A Communion of Intimacy with God”, reminding us that intimacy with God is something we learn and grow into. From 1 Chronicles 28:9, we were charged to “learn to know God intimately, worship and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind.” Intimacy means cultivating a deep, loving bond with God built on trust, faithfulness, and a heart that truly seeks Him - becoming a man or woman after God’s heart.

Building on Wednesday’s message, Pastor Femi Paul gave this powerful exhortation titled “The Real Thing”, using Timothy as the example of a believer who is genuinely devoted to the things of Christ (Phil. 2:20–22 MSG). True devotion to God is seen in loyalty, service, and a heart that prioritises God over self. 1 Tim. 4:8 affirms that serving God benefits every area of life; now and eternally, and Isaiah 58:14 assures that those who delight in the Lord will “ride high” and enjoy their full share of covenant blessings. The call today was simple: Intimacy + Devotion = Grace to Live as “The Real Thing” before God.

Prayer: Father, draw me into deeper intimacy with You. Teach me to know You, serve You and delight in You wholeheartedly. As I walk in true devotion, let me rise high, enjoy Your favour, and receive my full share of Your blessings. Amen.

At today’s Warfare Wednesday service, Pastor Femi Paul declared that worship is our weapon for warfare! In this brief but powerful exhortation titled “Devotion to God Through Worship & Service,” he taught that true devotion is more than religious activity; it is a heartfelt, consistent loyalty to God shown through reverence, obedience, and service. Drawing from Philippians 2:20–22 (MSG), PFP described Timothy as “the real thing - a devoted son” who genuinely cared for the things of Christ, not personal gain. Such devotion, he explained, is what God desires from every believer, a life that prioritises Him above all else.

PFP highlighted that devotion is expressed through worship, prayer, and selfless service. It requires yielding one’s time, energy, and resources to God,

not out of duty but out of love. From 1 Timothy 4:8, he reminded us that while physical discipline profits a little, devotion to God pays eternal dividends, bringing blessings in this life and the next. As Isaiah 58:14 (TLB) affirms, those who delight in the Lord will “ride high” and enjoy their full share of covenant blessings. PFP concluded by urging the church to strengthen their devotion - make worship and service not just acts of faith, but weapons of victory that move the hand of God in every battle.

Lord, I choose devotion over distraction. Teach me to serve You faithfully and worship You wholeheartedly. As I delight in You, let me rise higher, walk in victory, and enjoy the fullness of Your blessings. Amen.

Pastor Femi Paul delivered this message titled “If You Turn Aright, Things Will Turn Around!” A divine reminder that the direction we choose determines the outcome we experience. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 7:8, PFP emphasised that “the end of a thing is better than its beginning”, but only for those who remain steadfast in their walk with God. He admonished believers not just to start right, but to end well, because consistency in doing right is what guarantees a glorious turnaround.

Quoting Jeremiah 29:12–14, PFP highlighted God’s promise: “When you come looking for Me with all your heart, I will make sure you won’t be disappointed — I will turn things around for you!” He explained that divine turnaround is not automatic; it is triggered by a genuine heart that seeks God above all else. To “turn aright” is to realign with God’s will, to walk in obedience, and to delight in Him (Psalm 37:4). When we take delight in the Lord — aligning with His ways and values — our desires begin to match His purpose, and transformation follows naturally. PFP concluded with this encouragement: start right, stay right, and you’ll end well — because when you turn aright, God turns everything around!
