ONLY IF YOU WILL BELIEVE AND HAVE FAITH....

SUNDAY 9TH DECEMBER 2018
SERMON BY CHIEF ELDER FAUSTINA OBIRI

What is Faith?
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
              Hebrews  11:1

If hope means desire or expectations
And evidence means manifestation,

Then faith is therefore the substance of things desired or expected , the manifestation of things not seen

To believe means,  to accept as true, particularly without absolute certainty
If there's no belief, there exist doubt

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
                 2 Corinthians  4:4

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
                   Mark  11:24

The devil blinds Christians with doubt so that they will not see and experience the wonders and miracles of the world.

The devil has clouded our minds with doubts that we forget that its the same God
~ that divided the red sea for the Israelites to cross
~ that sent plaques to the Egyptians that affected the Israelites not, even though they were in the same country
~ that fed the Israelites in the wilderness with manna and meat
~ that made the waters in the wilderness sweet from being bitter
~ that fed 5000 people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes

But the word of God tells us......
If only you believe and have faith, you shall receive

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
                John  7:38

How then do you develop your faith?

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
                  Romans  10:17

And indeed,  you can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth you.
              Philippians  4:13

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,  the love of God, the communion, fellowship, contribution, participation, 10 000 children (which includes all the important people for my life) and the 1st love of the Holy Spirit, be with us all. Amen.
  
               2 Corinthians  13:14

WALKING IN THE SINS OF THE DEVIL

SUNDAY, APRIL 15TH 2018
SERMON BY CHIEF ELDER FAUSTINA OBIRI

.....and one of you is a devil?
                       John 6:70

We portray our lives as holy people but then we show some characteristics of the devil. When this happens the Lord is no longer our shepherd but Satan.

In  , Peter rebuked Jesus thinking he was right in his own eyes. But Jesus saw that as a portrayal of the character of a devil, hence his reply: get thee behind me Satan.

How then does one know that he is walking in the sins of the devil by showing a character of the devil?
