Title - Be free Indeed

Teacher:- Pastor Grace Okorende

Main Text:- John 8:36

Other Bible Passages:-  Luke 8:28 (KJV), Genesis 3:24 (KJV), John 8:32 (KJV), Genesis 3:12 (KJV), 2 Corinthians 5:19 (KJV) 1 Timothy 3:15 (KJV) Ephesians 1:20-22 (KJV) Luke 8:1-3 (KJV) John 1:12 (KJV) John 16:7 (KJV) Ephesians 6:12-13 (KJV) Isaiah 59:1-3 (KJV) Ephesians 2:5-6 (KJV) John 5:5-20 (KJV) Job 1:6 (KJV) Job 2:1 (KJV) Revelation 12:10 (KJV)

What does it mean to be free? To have the power or right to act, speak or think as one wants without hindrance or resistance. The absence of subjection.

Satan, in his subtle way, put our first parents (Adam & Eve) in bondage through the sin of disobedience Gen 3.24. But Because God is full of mercy, he himself came in the form man to reconcile us to himself

Why do we need freedom

1) Freedom is entitled to the children of God (to break us away from the bondage of sin) John 5:5-14

All unrighteousness is sin (anything not in standing with God). In the end, sin brings bondage.

What Brings Bondage:

1) Anger, Bitterness, retaliation. 2 Kings 3:13-15; Eph 4:26-27, Mark 11:25, Prov 19:19, Prov 19.11

2) Sorrowing instead praising God. Acts 16:16-40

3) Disobedience Gen 3:24, Gen 3:12

4) Abusing God's grace Eph 6:12, Eph 2:5-6, John 5:14,

5) Sexual Immorality 1 Cor 6:19, Matt 5:29

When you allow any of these reside in you, then you are letting the accuser of brethren stand against your blessings. Job 1:6, Job 1:7, Job 2:1, Rev 12:1

Title - Deceptions of the devil

Teacher:- Pastor Paul Orimolusi

Main Text:- Revelations 4:11, 1 Peter 5:8

Bible Passages:-  Exodus 5:2, Exodus 8:1, Exodus 9:1, Exodus 8:28, Exodus 10:9-10, Exodus 10.24, Exodus 14:5-18, Joshua 24:15, 1 Samuel 2:12.

From the main bible passage (Revelations 4:11 & 1 Pet 5:8), we learn that God has created all things well and for a good purpose.

However, the Devil has various deceptions he uses with the attempt of hindering us from fulfilling God's purpose in our life

The Deceptions of the Devil are

1. To prevent people from moving forward (to fulfill our destiny) Ex 5:2, Ex 8:1, Ex 9:1

2. Go! but not too far 

For example having one leg in the world; and the other leg in the church Ex 8:28

3. Go! but leave your family (the devil may use your spouse or even children to stay back in the world) 1 Sam 2:12

4. Go! but leave your livestock (your livelihood). E.g the Devil may use unemployment to deprive the children of God Ex 24:15

5. Go! but I will pursue you and capture you

The Lord free us from every evil deception of the devil in Jesus Name. Amen

Title - Power in Agreement

Teacher:- Pastor Paul Orimolusi

Main Text:- Matthew 18:18-19

Bible Passages:-  Colossians 3:23-25, John 14:13-14, Jeremiah 29:11, Mark 11:24, Matthew 16:19, Luke 18:1, Isaiah 43:19, Ex 14:22, Revelation 21.4, Esther 5:11-13, Esther 6.

Knowledge is power and 'knowledge' put into action leads to greater power

A man of God advised that he was struggling financially.  However we was able to get out of his predicament by tracing his problem back to the word of God

Similarly, If you are able to trace your problem back to the word of God, you will find the solution right there. This is because God has promised that whatsoever you ask in His Name,  be it in the area of finance, health, wisdom or 'whatsoever', He will do it. 

Examples of bible passages that confirm this promises could be found in :

• Colossians 3:23-25
• John 14:13-14
• Jeremiah 29:11
• Mark 11:24
• Matthew 16:19
• Luke 18:1

#Humans may be limited, But God is unlimited :) 
Take Your burdens to Him because He cares for you.
