SUNDAY MAY 24TH 2026-PASTOR MALCOLM REYNOLDS

THE WONDERFUL WORK OF GOD
Acts 2:1-11 | PENTECOST SUNDAY

They were in one accord in one place.” Acts 2:1

Pentecost was a Jewish harvest festival - the day of firstfruits. God chose it to pour out His Spirit and start a new harvest: people from every nation.

In the Upper Room, the Holy Spirit came. Wind. Fire. Tongues. Scripture became life that gives understanding.Fear turned to boldness.

So ask yourself- Are you operating, thinking in the Spirit? In every situation, pray: Ask “Lord, help me.” because The Spirit is our Helper.

Pentecost opened the door for the 9 gifts wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment, tongues, interpretation. Not for show all for the wonderful work of God.

Pastor Malcolm is a testament of people’s miracles. We’ve seen healings, breakthroughs, marriages restored. The same Spirit is here NOW.
PRAYER :Holy Spirit, bestow Your 9 gifts upon us afresh. Help us think in the Spirit. Make us willing to sacrifice like Jesus. Use us for Your wonderful work. In one accord in Jesus name AMEN Malcolm Reynolds

FEAR GOD-TODAYS SERMON 17TH MAY

Elizabeth reminded us: when we open our hearts, we make room to expect what the Lord has in store.

You are not alone. “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” Isaiah 43:1. Before you were formed, He knew you. Jeremiah 1:5. “He who touches you touches the apple of His eye.” Zechariah 2:8.

“Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings.” Psalm 17:8.

He walks with you through every valley. Psalm 23:4. Under His wings you find refuge. Psalm 91:4.

Wherever you go, may God protect you.
May He keep you under the shadow of His wings,
and hold you as the apple of His eye.

So be strong and courageous. The Lord your God goes with you. Deuteronomy 31:6. Fear not –He’s with you now, and He’s not done yet.

SUNDAY 3RD MAY 2026:SENIOR PASTOR HENRY AINEA

WE CONTINUE TO THANK GOD FOR OPENING DOORS OF DOMINION.

Thank You, LORD, for opening doors no man can shut. Doors of dominion in our lives, our families, and our work. Doors of favour in this nation of Australia and in every nation You have called us to. All doors that have been locked, You are opening. Doors of opportunity, doors of influence, doors of provision, doors of ministry. We thank You that You set before us an open door that no one can shut.

Daniel 6:1 shows us that it pleased the king to set over the kingdom one hundred and twenty satraps, to be over the whole kingdom. And over them, three governors, of whom Daniel was one. Just as GOD positioned Daniel for dominion over the whole kingdom, He is positioning you. You are being set over territories, over assignments, over doors of influence in this nation and beyond.

So we give praise and we stay expectant. Praise Him before you see the open door. Praise Him while you wait. Praise Him because the same GOD who promoted Daniel is promoting you in this new dimension of grace.

Abraham was a man of faith. He did not waver at the promise of GOD through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to GOD. He was fully convinced that what God had promised, He was also able to perform. Like Abraham, we do not stagger at the promises. We are fully persuaded that what GOD has spoken concerning the open doors and the dominion, He will do.

1 Corinthians 16:9 declares that a great and effective door has opened, and there are many adversaries. We thank GOD because great and effective doors are opening for us in this season. The opposition does not cancel the opportunity. The open door is proof that God is with us.

1 Corinthians 16:10 tells us to serve without fear, for we do the work of the Lord. We thank God that as He opens doors, He also gives grace to walk through them without fear.

PRAYER keeps out fear, doubt, and anxiety. In everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, we let our requests be made known to GOD. And the peace of GOD, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds. As we pray, fear must leave. Doubt must bow. Anxiety has no place.

Keep on serving GOD and make it a delight. Serve the Lord with gladness. Let it be an encouragement to everyone around you to show what GOD can do. Our lives become proof of His goodness when a new dimension of grace is poured out.

GOD will rescue me regardless of circumstances.

In Daniel 6:16-17 we see that the king said to Daniel, Your GOD whom you serve continually, He will deliver you. Daniel was cast into the lions’ den, and a stone was brought and laid on the mouth of the den. The king sealed it with his own signet ring so that the purpose concerning Daniel might not be changed. Even when it looked sealed and impossible, GOD ’s purpose stood. The lions could not touch him. The stone could not hold back his deliverance.

We stand on Daniel 6:20-21. Just as the king found Daniel alive and answered by GOD, we declare that no circumstance will silence us. The GOD who delivered Daniel from the lions’ den is delivering you now.

Daniel 6:22 is our confidence: My GOD sent His angel and shut the mouths of the lions, because I was found blameless before Him. Because we trust in Him, He shuts the mouths of lions. The sealed stone, the opposition, the impossible situation, none of it can stop the GOD who rescues.

Daniel 6:27 declares that He delivers and rescues, and He works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, for He has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. This is our GOD. He still delivers. He still rescues. He still works signs and wonders in our lives, in our families, and in this nation.

So never be discouraged. Don’t give up. What looks sealed in your life is not the end. GOD is turning it around.

We honour the Word and we honour the house. We declare 2 Corinthians 9:8, that GOD is able to make all grace abound toward us, that we will have all sufficiency in all things for every good work. The anointing will bring respect from a different dimension. God will answer prayer.

Circumstances do not dictate your outcome. He rescues, and He will do it again. He delivers, and He works wonders.

We praise and we stay expectant. We are stepping into a new dimension of grace. We receive every open door in this nation and beyond for Your GLORY!

HELLO CHURCH FAMILY

To everyone pressing in since Friday and holding on until tomorrow, I see you. Fasting is hard. Your body feels weak, your mind gets loud, and sometimes you wonder if it’s making any difference. It is.

The LORD honours the sacrifice done in secret. When you’re tired, hungry, and choosing prayer over comfort, heaven takes notice.

HOLD TO THESE TRUTHS:

MATTHEW 6:17-18
But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your FATHER who is in secret. And your FATHER who sees in secret will reward you.

Your reward is not just what happens after Sunday. The reward is Him. His presence meets you in the hunger.

ISAIAH 58:6
Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?

This fast is breaking things. Chains you cannot see. Strongholds in families. Hard ground in our city. Keep going.

Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

You are in the middle, and the middle is where most people quit. One more day. Do not give up before the due season comes.

WHEN YOU FEEL WEAK:
1. Remember why you started. Write it down. Speak it out loud when the cravings hit.
2. Drink water and rest. Fasting is spiritual, but your body is still God’s temple. Steward it.
3. Worship instead of complain. Put on praise when your flesh wants to grumble.
4. Lean on each other. Text someone in the church. Say, “I’m struggling, pray for me.” There is strength in unity.

2 Corinthians 12:9
My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.

His power shows up most when you have none left. Your weakness is the platform for His strength.

Tomorrow we break the fast together, but the breakthroughs we’ve contended for will continue long after the meal. Stand firm. The FATHER sees you. The work is not wasted.

We finish this together.

SUNDAY APRIL 26 -PASTOR HENRY AINEA'S SERMON:THE POWER OF PRAISE :PSALM 92:1-2 — It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your steadfast love in the morning, and Your faithfulness by night.

Church, there is supernatural power in praising the Lord. It is not just a song before the message. Praise is warfare. Praise is worship. Praise is the key that unlocks chains and brings strongholds down. Today we learn from Psalm 92:1-2 and from the life of David what happens when a believer gets accustomed to praising God.

1. PRAISE Is Part and Parcel of Worship
Psalm 92:1 tells us it is good to give thanks and sing praises to His name. Praise is not optional — it is the language of heaven. When we praise, we put God first. We declare that He is greater than our circumstance. Worship without praise is incomplete.

2. PRAISE Is a Daily Appointment Morning,afternoon and Night
Look at verse 2: To declare Your steadfast love in the morning, and Your faithfulness by night Praise isn’t just a Sunday thing. It’s a morning afternoon and night commitment. Start your day declaring His steadfast love because you’ll need it. End your day declaring His faithfulness because he carried you. Morning, afternoon, evening, all day long.

3. PRAISE Breaks Strongholds and Brings Breakthrough
Get accustomed to praising and thanking God, because praise tears down strongholds. Paul and Silas were in prison, but at midnight they prayed and sang praises and the chains fell off Acts 16:25-26. When you praise, you invite God into your battle. Your breakthrough is in your mouth.

4. PRAISE Brings Deliverance to Your Soul
You need to give praise and thanksgiving in prayer ( Not just requests) but praise. When you do, you will receive a level of deliverance in your soul. Depression, heaviness, anxiety these are spirits that cannot stay in an atmosphere of genuine praise. “The joy of the Lord is our strength Nehemiah 8:10 And praise is the doorway to that joy.

5. David’s Secret: Praise as a Spiritual Weapon
Pastor Henry reminded us of David. David knew depression. He cried, “I am in the miry clay.” He was overwhelmed, stuck, sinking. But David discovered something: praise was his spiritual weapon. He said, “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth” Psalm 34:1. He praised morning and night. He didn’t wait until he felt better. He praised his way out. And the wonderful outcome? God lifted him out of the pit and set his feet on a rock.

6. PRAISING in Advance Is Faith in Action
Here is the deepest truth: praising and thanking God in advance is proof that you have faith. Declaring His love in the morning before you see the day unfold that’s trust. Declaring His faithfulness at night even when the day was hard that’s faith. It says, “You are first in my life, not my problem. And faith pleases God Hebrews 11:6

So church, what pit are you in today? What chain needs to break? The answer is not just more prayer it is PRAISE FILLED prayer, morning, afternoon and night. Don’t wait for the breakthrough to praise. Praise until the breakthrough comes.

Make this your declaration:I will praise the Lord morning, afternoon, evening, all day. I will declare His love in the morning and His faithfulness at night.
As you praise, strongholds will fall. Your soul will find deliverance. The joy of the Lord will become your strength.

RECAP OF PASTOR HENRY AINEA'S SERMON :GODS TIMING AND PERSISTENCE

Scripture: Daniel 10:11-14, Jeremiah 29:11, John 5:1-9, Isaiah 55:8, 1 Samuel 15:23

Daniel sought wisdom, and God responded in His timing. He was persistent in prayer for 21 days, facing spiritual resistance (Daniel 10:13). Yet, God's messenger said, "You are highly esteemed" (v11).

In Daniel 10:12-14, we see:
- God heard Daniel's prayer from day one
- The struggle was spiritual, involving "the prince of Persia"
- GOD'S plan was bigger than the delay

In John 5, Jesus meets a man stuck for 38 years. Jesus asks, "Do you want to get well?" (John 5:6). The man focused on his limitations, but Jesus said, "Get up, pick up your mat, and walk" (v8). Immediately, the man was healed (v9).

Isaiah 55:8 says, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord."

God's timing is impeccable and different. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

1 Samuel 15:23 says, "Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft." God will answer all your prayers – sometimes with a "yes", sometimes a "no", sometimes a "wait". Watch out for envy and rebellion – they open gates to the enemy. Focus on God's plan for you abd What's God asking you to trust Him for?

SUNDAY SERVICE 22ND MARCH 2026

Pastor Henry opened with Zephaniah 3:17. The LORD is present, mighty to save, delighting and rejoicing over His people—He even sings over us. Keep your eyes open to that promise—don’t let spiritual blindness become destructive; open eyes activate the promises of Zephaniah 3.

From that joy we bring tithes and offerings, like Abel in Genesis 4:2-4: the best, given willingly and cheerfully. Mark 10:44 reminds us kingdom greatness is serving—“slave of all.” We give because we serve a Saviour who served us first.

Abraham’s test in Genesis 22:2 shows the same surrender—willing to give back what he loved most, trusting God’s goodness when it didn’t make sense.

Why can we live like this? John 3:16—God gave His Son. God is love, and His love is unconditional. Because of that gift we’re made new: where the first Adam failed, Christ—the second Adam—obeyed fully and opened the way for new creation life.

Romans 8:1 declares there’s now no condemnation in Christ Jesus—free, forgiven, alive. Jesus calls us to give up all things to follow Him and listen to His voice.

Mark 10:46-52 gives us Bartimaeus—blind, he cries out, the crowd tries to hush him, Jesus stops and calls him, he throws off his cloak, receives sight, and follows Jesus on the way. That’s our comfort in Christ: when you receive Him, you get the whole package—help, peace, healing from spiritual blindness and deafness, even practical help like financial solutions. As you receive God, you receive power to become rich in heaven.

So today we give not from duty but delight—because our Warrior saves, He sings over us, He loves unconditionally, He makes us new in the second Adam, there’s no condemnation, and in Christ we have everything we truly need. Let’s give with willing, joyful hearts, serve as He served, lay down what He asks, and keep listening to His voice AMEN

Some of todays scripture from Sunday service:8TH MARCH Matthew 3:11, Exodus 13:21, Psalm 119:105, Acts 1:8, 1 Peter 2:9, Acts 12, and Hebrews 1:7

---

TITLE: FLAMES OF FIRE, FEET ON THE PATH

Pastor Henry Ainea preached it straight: Matthew 3:11 — the Spirit gives us fire. Hebrews 1:7 says God makes His ministers flames of fire. That’s us. The altar in us must not lack heat; we’ve got a duty to keep it burning and not take ourselves for granted.

WHY FLAMES?* They destroy the works of Satan and bring healing. Acts 1:8 — the Holy Spirit gives power. And we’ve got a guide: Psalm 119:105, God’s Word as a lamp to our feet. Exodus 13:21: He leads by fire when we listen.

Acts 12 shows it in action — Peter in prison, church praying, angel sent, chains fall, gates open. Prayer ignites deliverance. 1 Peter 2:9 names us chosen, royal priesthood, meant to show His goodness.

FEAR? SAY IT OUT LOUD : The Lord is good. Our fuel is the Word; our fresh fire is the Spirit; prayer breathes it alive. We burn to witness, to guide, to push back darkness.

Pastor Henry specified the importance of the above by closing with Tend your altar — Word, prayer, obedience. We’re flames with purpose, chosen to light the way.
