Title: The Prayer of Jabez

Main Text: 1 Chron 4:9-10

Preacher: Pastor Paul Orimolusi

Lessons learnt from the prayer of Jabez

1) Our Place of birth, or the condition in which we were born, does not determine our end [1. chr 4.9]

2) Jabez called on The God of His fathers. 

When confronted with challenges, who do you call on? [1Kings 18:22-24]

Other gods will disappoint, except The Living God

3) Honor The God of your fathers. [ Mal 1:6]

If you don't honor anointing, how would it work in your favor? [1 Sam 2;9]

4) Jabez asked God to bless him

When God blesses, no sorrow is added [prov 10;22]

5) "Enlarge my coast". 

God wants us to multiply, increase and become great, in the physical and spiritual.

6) Jabez asked God for his presence

7) Finally, He asked God to Protect Him from Evil

Title: Divine Intimacy

Main Text: Psalms 103:7

Preacher: Pastor Paul Orimolusi

There is nothing more important than to have an intimate relationship with God.

Every day and moment of our life, make it a habit to have a closer walk with God.

Enoch maintained an intimate relationship with God, and never tasted death (Gen 5:21-24)

A life without an intimate relationship with God is like living in the valley low (a place filled with pain, anguish, sorrow, depression etc).

However, a life with God, is a life on the mountain top. A place of glory, joy peace

Action Point:

Make it your daily objective to have an intimate relationship with God.

Title: Our love towards God and others will be tested

Areas God Tests (Our Love for others)

1) Our care for the less privileged such as the homeless, widows, orphans etc (Prov 21:13)

Title: Thy Will Be Done 

Main Text: Matthew 6:10 

Preacher: Pastor Paul Orimolusi 

God doesn't want us to live a life of probability.

He wants His will to be done in our lives.

However, he gives us free will.

Today's Outline

• The will of a man 
• The will of Satan or the enemy 
• The permissive will of God 
• The perfect will of God 

The Will of a man 

• - God has given us free will (i.e. the ability to do what we want) Joshua 24.15
• - However, The will of man is always a selfish one.
• - Has no reference to God (Proverbs 3.5-6)
• - Filled with pride (Is 14.12-14)

The Will of Satan or the enemy 

• - To steal, kill or destroy (John 1.10)

The Permissive Will of God (Number 22.7-12)

• - Half baked success
• - It is short lived victory
• - leads to great regret
• - It is like a thorn in the flesh (Psalm 106.15)

The Perfect Will of God 

• - Requires self denial (Mark 8.34)
• - It is sacrificial (Rom 12.1-2)
• - Always giving thanks even when we don't feel like it (1 Thessalonians 5.18)
• - The will of God gives peace

Title:What Is An Issue?

Main Text: Luke 8:43-48

Preacher: Pastor Paul Orimolusi 

An Issue is something that defiles humans ability.

From the main bible text, we read of a woman with an "issue of blood" which lasted for 12 years.

She tried to resolve the issue with money but it got worse.

Only until she encountered Jesus.

You may ask what is an issue?

1) Anything that defies human effort

2) Causes Embarrassment

3) A Frustrating situation

4) Your Faith capacity cannot withstand the situation in your strength alone

What situation do you find yourself? trying all you can with no result? Feeling embarrassed?

Develop a close relationship with God, so The God of all possibilities helps with your circumstance like he did in Mark 9:23-25

It is well with your soul, body and spirit.

Have a blessed week.
