Pastor's Reflections

Branded

“Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made
him a coat of many colours” Gen. 37:3

Glory be God for another Teens Week this year tagged Branded.
If I may asked, who needs to be branded?  By who are we branded?  For what purpose are we branded?
All these questions will be answered now.

i)                    Who needs to be branded?
            You and I needs to be branded because the Psalmist said Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. Psalm 51:5 and also in Psalm 40:2 “ He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps.”  As we all know that, after  the fall of man in the garden of Eden, man became “horrible creature” that was controlled by Satan and the dwelling place of man became “miry clay” and ever since then God started working on our behalf so has to bring us back to our original nature He wanted for us.
ii)                  By who are we branded?
            God, God rebrands us through His only begotten Son- Jesus Christ – John 3:16a For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son … by becoming sin and took the judgments due to us on the cross of Calvary for the remission of our sin.

iii)                For what Purpose are we branded?
The reasons and purpose why God rebranding us is to bring us back to our original position he had placed us – His image and likeness – Gen. 1:26
i)                    To regained our dominion over everything  He has created;
ii)                  To join the other creature above and worship Him at all time both in Spirit and in truth;
iii)                To dwell with Him in His kingdom.

Conclusion
This year theme is not meant for the Teenagers alone, it is for the entire body of Christ (The Church), be it CFM, FWI, YOUTH, TEENS and CHILDREN, we are to allow God to rebrand us so as to suit His purpose, because that was the original plan of God for man even after the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden – Gen 3.  “for the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back – Isaiah 14:27.  Therefore, surrender yourself to God for rebranding and your life will not remain the same again.

Shalom

THE TWENTY-TWO (22) TENETS OF FOURSQUARE GOSPEL

-
These We Believe Our belief is based on core biblical truths we call the 22 tenets of faith. THIS WE BELIEVE; THE FOURSQUARE DECLARATION OF FAITH THE HOLY SCRIPTURES We believe that the Bible is God-inspired; perfect, with no mistakes; that God told certain men thousands of years ago what to write in it; that it is there to help us and to show everybody Jesus-the Son of God, the Savior of mankind; that it tells people how to live and be saved. (Matt. 24:35;2 Timothy 3:16,17; Psa. 119:105; 2Pet. 1:19-21; 2Tim. 2:15). THE ETERNAL GODHEAD We believe THAT THERE IS ONE God, Creator of the universe, eternal, holy, loving, all-powerful and deserving of our praise and thanks; and that, in the unity of Godhead, there are three, equal and divine: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; The Father the King of the Universe, full of Glory and Majesty, whose justice demands that sin be punished, but whose love sent His own Son to take that punishment for us. The Son Jesus Christ, who has al...

SPIRITUAL SCOTOMAS: Only the light of God's Word can pierce the darkness and help us turn from evil, shares Timothy Russell

  When I was young, I was riding in the car with my mom when suddenly it started raining heavily. I was listening to the radio and had the volume up pretty loud. My mom told me to turn the music down so she could see better. I replied: “Mom, you see with your eyes, not your ears.” However, when I grew older, I was able to understand what she meant. Although we see with our eyes, what we hear—or what we choose to listen to—affects how we see. In other words, our focus is affected by what we hear. The scientific term for a blind spot or area of low vision is a “scotoma.” Listening to anything contrary to the Word of God can cause a spiritual scotoma to grow. Spiritual scotomas do not allow us to clearly see the promises of God. If we do not see the promises of God, how can we stand on them? The devil is constantly speaking things into our lives, hoping that we will receive what he has said. If we receive what he has said, confusion and frustration set in, and spir...

Uncommon Reward

-
17.01.2016                         Pastor Lawrence Alabi Your uncommon worship will bring an uncommon reward, doing the unusual will bringforth the uncommon reward. Our father in faith, Abraham, did the unusual and unusual reward came to him. When his brother's son was in captivity, Abraham did gather his trained servants to rescue his brother's son (Gen. 14:14-24). After this things Abraham was rewarded greatly of God. 2 Corinthians 8:9, Jesus Christ became poor for us all to be rich. The work was done on Calvary, the uncommon reward is for us all.  Salvation and riches and wealth is for us. Philipians 2:6-11, Jesus Christ has paid the price for us, what a great work that has brought us great reward of salvation. This that Jesus Christ did brought him uncommon reward, His name is set above all names. John 11:1-44, Lazarus was dead for four days, he was already stinkin...
