At our Interactive Midweek Service, Pastor Femi Paul brought us a corrective and stirring word titled Praise the Lord O’ My Soul! Building on Sunday’s message Count Your Blessings, he opened with Psalm 103:2 and expanding through Isaiah 55:2, we were reminded that counting our blessings is not merely a gratitude exercise, it is spiritual wisdom. From Numbers 11:1a, Pastor emphasised that complaining isn't just a bad habit; it displeases the Lord and stalls our progress. We learned that counting our blessings is actually a spiritual guard that protects our Counting our blessings guards the heart against grumbling and complaining, and keeps us qualified for what God is about to do next. We also saw how complaint can distort perspective, while thanksgiving preserves spiritual posture and keeps our heart open to God’s next move.

The core of the message was a deep dive into Philippians 4:8, where we were challenged to discipline our thoughts toward what is good, worthy of praise, and full of God’s goodness. We were challenged to fill our minds with things to praise rather than things to curse, and to fasten our thoughts on the glorious works of God. As the congregation lifted the song Praise, the atmosphere reinforced the message that praise is not only a response to blessing but a posture that sustains joy, protects perspective, and aligns us with divine harmony. The charge was simple and profound: keep counting your blessings, keep praising God, and stay qualified for what He is about to do next.

Confession: Lord, I choose praise over complaint and gratitude over grumbling. Guard my heart, align my thoughts, and keep me positioned for all You are about to do next.

Pastor Femi Paul brought us a timely word during today’s Youth Sunday Service titled Count Your Blessings! Drawing from Psalm 103:2 (MSG), we were given a powerful directive: to bless God and ensure we do not forget a single one of His benefits. We learned that the only way to avoid the trap of forgetfulness is to intentionally and carefully count the good things He has done for us. Rather than magnifying problems, needs, or what is missing, the message called us to remember the good things God has done. Using Psalm 103:2–5 (NLT), we were reminded of the breadth of God’s favour, from forgiveness and healing to redemption and the renewal of our strength, affirming that youths in God are called to stand out. Gratitude is not passive remembrance but active recognition.

The message challenged us to shift our focus from problems and needs to the faithfulness of God. When we count our problems, anxiety grows, but when we count our blessings, faith rises. Drawing from Philippians 4:6–7, we were reminded that thanksgiving brings peace, and thanksgiving also positions us for increase. Pastor prophetically declared that as we count only our blessings for the rest of April, God will multiply those blessings in May. The charge was simple and powerful: remember what God has done, and expect Him to do more and more.

Confession: I choose to bless the Lord with all that I am. I refuse to forget His benefits. I will count my blessings daily, focusing on His goodness, mercy, and healing power. As I celebrate what He has already done, I position myself for multiplication and fresh manifestations in May.

At our Premium Worship and Prayer Service, Pastor Femi Paul brought us God’s Word in a message titled "Thou Art Worthy, O’ Lord!" which further urged us into the presence of God through premium worship. Reading from Psalm 14:2, we were reminded that God looks across the earth for those who truly seek Him, and true worship flows from delight, reverence, and wholehearted devotion. Through Revelation 4:11, we established the foundational truth that He is worthy to receive all glory, honor, and power because He is the Creator of all things. The message challenged us to move beyond casual expressions of worship into a place where we derive joy and satisfaction in honouring God.

We were further reminded from Matthew 7:2 and Psalm 37:4 that there is a relationship between the measure we offer God and what flows back into our lives. Premium worship opens the door to premium surprises. As we delight ourselves in the Lord and remain fully committed to Him, we position ourselves for answered prayers, divine interventions, and the desires of our hearts fulfilled. The charge was simple yet profound: offer God your best in worship, and trust Him for the surprises only He can bring.

Confession: Lord, I choose to delight myself in You above all else. I offer You premium worship, not as a duty, but as a sacrifice of joy. I trust that as I give You my best, You will answer my prayers and manifest the desires of my heart. My life is a testament to Your worthiness.

At our Holy Communion Service themed Communion for Illumination, Pastor Femi Paul brought us a timely word titled The Blessing of Knowing What Best to Do. From Psalm 73:24, we were reminded that God guides us by His counsel and leads us into a glorious destiny. Life will not always go as expected, and situations will not always be easy, but the true advantage of the believer is access to divine direction. The message emphasised that in every situation, whether we are facing challenges or navigating uncertainty, we must decide what to do, and that decision must be guided by God.

Drawing from 2 Chronicles 20:12, we saw that even when we do not know what to do, turning our focus to God positions us for clarity and direction. A shortsighted decision can worsen a situation, but an enlightened decision can transform the same situation into a breakthrough. Knowing what best to do is a winning formula, and through divine illumination, God grants His people the wisdom required for every season. As we received communion, we were reminded that this guidance is part of the blessing, positioning us for progress, victory, and even unexpected pleasant outcomes.

Confession:Lord, I refuse to be ruled by fear or shortsightedness. I choose to look to You for counsel, trusting that You will illuminate my path and grant me the wisdom to know exactly what to do in every situation. I receive the winning formula for my breakthrough today.

At our Special Interactive Sunday Service, Pastor Colins Nwosu delivered this thought-provoking message titled Why Sit We Here Until We Die?, drawing from 2 Kings 7:1–20. The story of the four lepers challenged us to confront the danger of remaining in places of fear, stagnation, and hopelessness. Faced with famine and uncertainty, they chose to take a step of faith rather than remain passive. Their decision not only led to their survival but also positioned them as carriers of good news to the entire city. The message reminded us that divine opportunities often require courageous action and a willingness to move forward despite uncertainty.

We were further encouraged by Hebrews 4:2, as we explored why many hear the Word but do not profit from it: the message must be mixed with faith to produce results. Hearing God’s promise is not enough; we must combine it with active belief and decisive action. Just as the lepers acted on possibility rather than paralysis, we too are called to respond to God’s Word with faith and initiative. When we rise from complacency and step into obedience, we position ourselves to experience divine provision and become channels of blessing to others.

Confession: Lord, I refuse to remain in stagnation or die in silence; I receive the courage to act in faith today and choose to move at Your Word, knowing that as I step out, You will make a way for my total restoration.

Pastor Colins Nwosu brought us God’s Word in a message titled The Cost of Salvation, reminding us that the gift of salvation came at an immeasurable price. Reading from John 3:16 and Matthew 26:39, we reflected on the depth of God’s love in giving His Son and the surrender of Jesus in Gethsemane as He chose the Father’s will over His own. Salvation was not cheap. It required sacrifice, obedience, and the ultimate offering of Christ’s life so that humanity could be redeemed.

Drawing also from Psalm 8:3 to 6 and Matthew 28:1 to 7, we were reminded that the resurrection is the victory that confirms the power of that sacrifice. Through Christ’s death and resurrection, humanity was restored to honour and purpose. The message concluded with the encouragement from 1 Corinthians 15:58 to remain steadfast and committed in the work of the Lord, knowing that our labour in Him is never in vain because the price of our salvation has already secured the victory.

Confession: Lord, help me never take the gift of salvation for granted. Let my life reflect gratitude, obedience, and unwavering commitment to Your purpose.

At our Easter Resurrection Thanksgiving Service, Pastor Femi Paul gave a short prophetic exhortation calling the church to move beyond celebrating the resurrection to actually experiencing its power. Drawing from Philippians 3:10, we were reminded of Paul’s deep longing to know Christ and to experience the overflowing power of His resurrection. The message declared that the time has come, my time, your time, our time, to begin to experience that resurrection power in our daily lives.

From Romans 6:4, we were reminded that when God raised Jesus from the dead with glorious power, believers have receieved a wonderful new life to enjoy. Resurrection is therefore not only an event we remember, but a life we are meant to live. As the congregation lifted songs of thanksgiving, we prayed that the same power that raised Christ would become evident in our lives, bringing new beginnings, renewed strength, and the grace to truly enjoy the new life God has given us.

Confession: Lord, I receive and walk in the power of Your resurrection. Let Your new life flow through me so that I begin to experience the fullness of all You have given me.

At our Warfare Wednesday Midweek Service, Pastor Femi Paul led the church in prayers with a prophetic exhortation declaring Sweet Surprises Only. Drawing from Job 5:8, we were reminded that God is famous for astonishing and unexpected wonders, and that His surprises never run out. The charge was clear and faith stirring: no more agonising, expensive, or terrible surprises. Instead, the church was called to expect divine interventions that turn situations around for good.

Using the story in Luke 7:11 to 15, PFP shared how a grieving widow who expected only sorrow suddenly received an unimaginable miracle when Jesus raised her son and presented him back to her. Her traumatic news was intercepted and neutralised by the Lord, and a sweet surprise was activated in the presence of family, friends, and even foes. The message encouraged us that God still sees His people, remains mindful of them, and is able to turn mourning into dancing. As we prayed, we stood on the promise that the Lord will bless His people and increase us more and more.

Confession: Lord, I receive Your intervention in every area of my life. Let every bad report be intercepted, and let sweet surprises replace every form of sorrow in Jesus’ name.

During our Holy Communion Service, Pastor Femi Paul ministered a prophetic word titled You’re In For a Sweet Surprise, reminding us that God is renowned for extraordinary and unending surprises. Drawing from Job 5:9, we were encouraged to expect divine interventions beyond human calculation. Through the story of the widow in 2 Kings 4, we were reminded that even when situations appear empty, God often begins miracles with what is already within our reach . What looked like just a jar of oil became the very source of provision that cleared debts and secured a future for her family. The message emphasised a powerful truth: there is often a miracle already present in what we have, whether in our house or in our hands.

PFP also reminded us through the stories of Naomi, Moses, and Sarah that circumstances never have the final say over God’s promises. Naomi returned feeling empty, Moses saw only an ordinary rod in his hand, and Sarah faced the impossibility of age, yet God transformed each situation. The same God still works today, turning emptiness into abundance and disappointment into joy. As we received communion, we were encouraged to believe that God can change any circumstance for the better and that in His timing, laughter and unexpected blessings can still arise.

Confession: Lord, I receive fresh strength today and I believe that You are turning my circumstances for the better and preparing a sweet surprise for my life.

Pastor Femi Paul reminded us that character truly counts with God when He chooses people for blessing and responsibility. In 1 Samuel 16:7, God made it clear that while people focus on outward appearance, He looks at the heart. This is why David was chosen after Saul. Even though David’s seven brothers appeared stronger or more impressive, God rejected them one by one because He was searching for character, not appearance. Throughout scripture we see this pattern. God chose Joseph to preserve the twelve tribes, Ruth because of her noble character, and David to lead Israel. The message emphasised a powerful truth: good character is the winning formula in God’s kingdom.

We were reminded that faith must always produce visible character and conduct. As James teaches, faith without corresponding deeds is not dead. Character shows itself through what we do, not just what we claim to believe. Ultimately, the quality of our character determines the quality of the works that follow. As Pastor summarised it clearly: no character produces no works, little character produces little works, but good character produces good works. When we listen to God and align our lives with His ways, our souls enter into the abundance He desires for us.

Confession: Lord, shape my heart and strengthen my character so that my faith produces actions that honour You and reflect Your purpose for my life.
