At our Premium Worship & Prayers (PWP) service, Pastor Femi Paul brought us God’s Word titled “BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, FOR NOTHING AT ALL!” We were reminded that anxiety is often future-facing, filling our minds with worry about what might happen before it ever does. If we do not control anxiety, it can begin to control our lives, affecting our thoughts, peace and responses. Yet Philippians 4 gives us God’s alternative: “Be anxious for nothing.” Instead of allowing our needs, struggles and uncertainties to become worry, fear or complaint, we are called to bring everything to God through prayer, thanksgiving and worship.

The message showed us that the answer to anxiety is not pretending that our concerns do not exist, but changing what we do with them. We turn our worries into prayers, keep the Lord before us, and allow the assurance of His presence to become greater than the uncertainty before us. As prayer and praise rise to God, His peace guards our hearts and minds, and we can confidently say, “It shall be well.” When our focus remains on the Lord, fear gives way to faith, anxiety gives way to peace, and our hearts can rejoice and safely rest in hope. PWP changes things!

Prayer: Lord, search my heart and reveal every anxious thought within me. I surrender my worries, fears and uncertainties to You and choose prayer, thanksgiving and worship instead of complaint. Help me to keep You continually before me, confident that You are close by my side. Let Your peace guard my heart and mind, and teach me to rest safely in hope. It shall be well with me. Amen.

Minister Kunle Lijadu taught on “Our God: The Source of Sufficiency and Surplus.” We were reminded that God reveals Himself as El Shaddai—the Almighty and All-Sufficient God. Abraham’s circumstances may have made God’s promise appear impossible, but the fulfilment of that promise never depended on Abraham’s sufficiency; it depended on God’s. This is why our confidence cannot ultimately rest in our abilities, resources or circumstances. God is our Source, and trusting Him means recognising that whatever He has promised, He possesses everything necessary to accomplish.

We saw this same truth when Jesus fed the multitude with five loaves and two fish. What appeared insufficient became more than enough when placed in His hands. God therefore calls us neither to idleness nor self-sufficiency, but to dependence accompanied by diligent action: we work faithfully, steward what He has given us, and trust Him to bless and multiply it. When we remain connected to the Source, we discover that El Shaddai is able not only to meet our needs but to produce sufficiency that overflows into surplus.

Prayer: Father, thank You for being El Shaddai, my Almighty and All-Sufficient God. Deliver me from self-sufficiency and teach me to depend completely on You. As I faithfully use what You have placed in my hands, bless and multiply it, and let my life continually experience Your sufficiency and surplus. Amen.

At our Interactive Midweek Service, Pastor Femi Paul brought us God’s Word titled “THE IMPORTANT THING.” Drawing from the encounter with Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38–42, we were reminded that it is possible to be occupied with many legitimate things and still miss the one thing that is important, necessary and essential. Martha was busy, worried and troubled about many things, while Mary had discovered what mattered most and chose it. Pastor Femi warned us about distractions, including those that can appear subtle and justifiable, because not everything demanding our attention deserves our time, energy or resources. Distractions can exhaust productive energy, steal peace, consume precious years and leave us busy without necessarily moving towards God’s purpose for our lives. Beware of time wasters.

The message therefore called us to discern what truly matters and discover it on time. Psalm 119 reminds us that God’s Word brings light, understanding and direction, illuminating the path ahead so that we can navigate life wisely. Success is not simply doing more things or pursuing what matters to everyone around us; success happens when we discover what really matters concerning our own God-given journey and give ourselves to it. Mary discovered the better thing and chose it. In the same way, we need the light of God’s Word to separate the essential from the unnecessary, purpose from distraction, and what merely looks urgent from what is truly important. May we discover what really matters concerning our success in life, on time, in good time, and before it is too late.

Prayer: Lord, let the entrance of Your Word bring light and understanding to my life. Give me discernment to recognise distractions, including those that appear reasonable and justifiable. Help me not to waste my time, energy or years pursuing what does not truly matter. May I quickly discover what really matters concerning my success in life. May I discover it on time, in good time, and before it is too late. Amen.

At our Warfare Wednesday Service, Pastor Femi Paul led us in prayers and brought a timely exhortation titled “FINALIZATION!” As we entered September, the ninth month of the year, PFP declared divine completeness and finality over our lives. Drawing from Zechariah 4:9, we were reminded that the same hands of Zerubbabel that laid the foundation of the temple would also finish it. In the same way, we are trusting God that we will not be left hanging: the good work He has begun in our lives, and the things He has placed in our hands to build, will be brought to completion. Finalization means bringing something into its final, completed and settled form, and our prayer this month is that unfinished matters will receive divine completion and prolonged struggles will come to an end.

From Psalm 7:9 and 1 Peter 5:10, we also saw that God's finalization is not simply about bringing something to an end, but establishing His people after the struggle. The God of all grace promises to restore, support, strengthen and establish us on a firm foundation. So we are not merely praying for an ending; we are believing for the establishment of victory, success and prosperity, and for God to make us complete in every good thing. Whatever has lingered, whatever has remained unfinished, and whatever season of difficulty has persisted, we enter September with faith that God is able to bring closure, restoration and establishment. It will not remain hanging. It will be completed. It will be settled.

Declaration: This September, I receive divine completeness and finalization. I will not be left hanging! The good work God has begun in my life and everything He has given me to build will be completed. Every prolonged struggle and trouble comes to an end, and God establishes my victory, success and prosperity. He restores me, strengthens me and establishes me on a firm foundation. Completed. Finalized. Settled. In Jesus' name, Amen!

It has been an amazing Teens Week 2026, and at today's Teens Take Over Service, Chidiebube Nwaeze brought us God's Word on this year's theme, “Built for More.” Anchoring the message in Ephesians 2:10, we were reminded that we are God's masterpiece, deliberately created in Christ for the good works He prepared for us. Jeremiah 1:5 and Psalm 139:14 reinforced this truth: our lives are neither accidental nor without purpose. We were known by God, wonderfully made by God, and built by God for more. The question, then, is not whether there is more in us, but whether we will live in the reality of what God has already designed us to become.

Chidiebube gave us three practical ways to do this: do not be ashamed to reflect Christ through your life, get in right standing with God, and take action. Being built for more is not simply a statement of potential; it demands a response. Like David in 1 Samuel 17, we cannot allow age, limitations or other people's expectations to determine what God can accomplish through us. We must know who we are in Christ, allow Him to lead us, and have the courage to act when opportunity comes. The challenge from our teenagers reaches every generation: you were built for more, but the “more” becomes visible when you step out and live what God built you for.

Confession: Lord, thank You for making me Your masterpiece. I know that my life is intentional and that You have created me for good works and a greater purpose. Give me courage to reflect Christ without shame, grace to walk rightly with You, and boldness to take action when You call. I will not shrink from who You have made me to be. I am built for more, and I will live for more. Amen.

At our Interactive Midweek Service, Minister Tope Omotayo brought us God’s Word titled “Victorious in Christ.” Anchoring the teaching in 1 Corinthians 15:57, we were reminded that our victory is not something we earn through self-effort, it is a gift we have received through Jesus Christ. In Christ, our triumph is assured across every situation and circumstance, yet the message challenged us with an important question: if Christ has already given us the victory, why do we sometimes continue to see ourselves as defeated or unvictorious? Drawing from Proverbs 23:7 and Mark 11:23–24, we saw how our thoughts, beliefs and words must come into agreement with what God has already declared concerning us. We cannot allow circumstances to become a louder definition of our lives than the truth of God’s Word.

Minister Tope then brought the teaching into everyday life, challenging us to trust God rather than carry everything ourselves. When worry takes over, we can subtly begin to act as though everything depends on our own ability rather than handing the matter over to God and trusting Him to direct our paths. Victory therefore requires faith, a renewed mindset, dependence on God and remaining connected to the fellowship of believers. Even in difficult situations, we can ask, “What would Jesus do?” and allow His Word to shape our response. The message left us with a simple but powerful assurance: our circumstances do not determine whether we are victorious. In Christ, our victory is already guaranteed and assured.

Confession: Lord, thank You for giving me victory through Jesus Christ. I refuse to define myself by what I see or by the circumstances around me. I am victorious in Christ, and my victory is guaranteed and assured. I choose faith over worry, I trust You with every situation, and I receive grace to think, speak and act according to Your Word. In all things, I will live from the victory You have already given me. Amen.

At our special Holy Communion & Festival of Songs Service, Pastor Femi Paul brought us God’s Word titled “Stand Up for Jesus!” Drawing from Ephesians 6:12–14, we were reminded that our Christian walk takes place in the reality of a spiritual battle, and Scripture repeatedly calls us to stand. But PFP took that charge beyond simply holding our ground: we must stand firm in Jesus, stand strong with Jesus, and actively stand up for Jesus. There is no room for passive Christianity. As Jesus declared in Luke 11:23, whoever is not with Him is against Him, and whoever is not gathering with Him is scattering. We cannot merely stand aside, stand afar or stand around the things of God. It is time to really stand up for Jesus!

Building on our recent lessons from Noah, PFP showed us that standing for Jesus must translate into action. If we are standing with Him, we should be gathering, helping and building something for His Kingdom, just as Noah did. Standing up for Jesus means engaging in His interests, using our lives and gifts for His purposes, and refusing the comfort of spiritual neutrality. Faith cannot simply be something we profess while remaining spectators. In a world constantly competing for our convictions, the challenge was unmistakable: know where you stand, stand firm in Christ, and let your life visibly demonstrate that you stand for Jesus.

Confession: Lord Jesus, I choose to stand with You and stand for You. Strengthen me to remain firm in my faith and courageous in my convictions. I refuse to stand aside, stand afar or merely stand around. Help me to actively engage in Your interests, use my gifts to build Your Kingdom, and live in a way that makes my allegiance to You unmistakable. Whatever comes, when the battle is over, by Your grace, I will still be standing. Amen.

Pastor Femi Paul continued our teaching series with another stirring message titled “Kingdom Builders... Like Noah!” Drawing from the life of Noah, we saw a man who did not merely survive his generation, he built something of spiritual and eternal significance. Noah built the Ark in obedience to God, and when he emerged from it, he built an altar in worship to God. But before Noah built either, he had built what mattered most: a relationship with God. Scripture describes him as an exemplary man who walked in close fellowship with God. PFP challenged us to examine our own lives: What are we building that is significant enough to outlive us? We can build lives, movements, ministries, teams and Kingdom initiatives, or simply lend our hands to help others build something significant for God.

The message reminded us that Kingdom building is not reserved for pastors or those on a platform. We can all contribute our gifts, time, resources, influence and service to something with eternal value. Noah did not build alone either; Genesis 9:1 records God's blessing upon Noah and his sons, showing the power of families and people working together in God's purpose. Ultimately, what we build should begin with God, honour God and leave an impact that reaches beyond us. Revelation 14:13 reminds us that our good works can follow us into eternity. The challenge therefore is not simply to stay busy, but to ask: Am I building something significant for the Kingdom, or spending my life on things that will eventually mean nothing?

Confession: Lord, I thank You for calling me to a life of significance. Above everything else, help me build a deep and steady relationship with You. Give me the grace to use my gifts, time, resources and influence to build lives and advance Your Kingdom. Whether I lead, serve or simply lend my hands to something You are building, may my life produce good works of eternal significance that bring You glory. Amen.

Pastor Femi Paul brought us God's Word titled "Lessons from the Life of Noah," drawing our attention to a man who stood out in a generation where wickedness had become the norm. Genesis 6 records the striking words, "But Noah was different. God liked what He saw in Noah." What made Noah different? He walked steadily with God, lived with integrity, pleased God, and obeyed all that God commanded him. PFP emphasised the lesson of complete obedience: no personal opinion, no argument. Noah allowed God to shut him into the Ark when instructed, remained there without rushing ahead, and only stepped out when God told him to. His life challenges us to trust God's instructions even when they involve waiting, confinement, inconvenience, or a process we do not fully understand.

When Noah finally left the Ark, his first response was worship. He built an altar to God, and what followed was a fresh blessing over Noah and his family: "Prosper! Reproduce! Fill the Earth!" The message showed us that walking with God, complete obedience, patience, and worship are never wasted. Noah entered the Ark following God's instructions and emerged into an inheritance greater than what existed before the flood. PFP left us with a remarkable contrast: Adam had the Garden of Eden, but Noah ended up inheriting the whole earth. The lesson is compelling: when we walk with God and obey Him completely, we can trust Him with both the confinement and the enlargement that follow.

Confession: Lord, I choose to walk steadily with You and to live a life that is pleasing in Your sight. Give me the grace to obey You completely, without argument or allowing my opinions to override Your instructions. Teach me to wait when You say wait, move when You say move, and worship You through every season. As I walk with You in obedience, lead me into every blessing and enlargement You have prepared for my life. Amen.

At our Interactive Midweek Service, Pastor Colins Nwosu continued Sunday's teaching with a message titled "Come Into the Ark." Drawing from Genesis 7:1, we reflected on God's personal invitation to Noah: "Come into the ark." The Ark was God's provision for preservation, but Noah still had to trust His instruction and enter. Through the flood, the waiting, and the uncertainty of what lay ahead, Noah remained where God had placed him until the waters receded. We learned that God's instructions may sometimes require patience and discipline, but His place of obedience is also a place of safety, preparation, and divine remembrance.

As the waters subsided and Noah eventually stepped out of the Ark, he responded first with worship, and God blessed him and his family with a fresh beginning and a renewed mandate to be fruitful and multiply. Drawing also from Psalm 40:1–3, Pastor Colins reminded us that waiting on God is never wasted; He brings us out, establishes our steps, and gives us a new song. The message challenged us to trust God's process from beginning to end: when He says come in, enter; while He says wait, remain; and when He says come out, step forward into the new beginning He has prepared.

Confession: Lord, thank You for being my refuge and for always providing a place of safety in You. Give me the faith to obey when You say come, the patience to remain when You say wait, and the courage to move when You say go. I trust Your process and Your timing, knowing that You are preserving me, preparing me, and leading me into the new beginning You have prepared for my life. Amen.
