Romans 1 :11 NIV Pastor
said am here to make you the brethen in CE Docklands strong and establish your faith
Why do we need to be strong? ..not pyhsical strength wise but a special kinda character. When we tell you come to church, You come to learn God's word...but there's more when you come something special happens everytime you come..something is imparted to your spirit..this imparting is happening immediately now. Impartation is done through the word, through the HOLY SPIRIT and laying of hands
Being in the right place is wisdom am receiving that spiritual gift today..because I am expectant and am in the right place
Ephesians 3:16 be invigorated with strength in your inner man..and this is God's purpose for your life..with miracle working ability and therefore able to face anything ..Am built tough and after all test I will be standing with all conquering ability
We have victory always no matter what I face I will be standing 1 John 4:4
It doesn't matter what I face Am strong because Christ is in me
2 Peter 3:18 Admonishes Us To Grow in Grace
Why do we need to grow in grace and knowledge? Knowledge here is "Nosis" intellectual discovery (information and knowledge) by adding more information about the Jesus Christ ...have a better knowledge of Christ, always study the gospels ..learn about everything Jesus did...journey with him thru the scriptures
What did Jesus say about food, character, environment, studying, government ,money, future. Grow in this knowledge, know about Jesus ..this is an instruction and this is because this knowledge produces a result for you
GROW IN GRACE
there are people who don't grow in grace...just because you are growing older does not mean you grow in grace
Grace is the divine qualities imparted to your inner person producing the character, virtues and excellence of god to your spirit. No wonder people see us and wonder what manner of man are we... Grow in them let it produce these special qualities
How can I grow in grace? God reproduces top quality...extraordinary qualities
How big is extra ordinary ?
1 Peter 2:9
New International Version (NIV)
9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. When you look in the mirror what did you expect to see...god's word is our mirror..."I am is in the yea are"...a chosen breed , a divine royalty ...a royal priesthood, a holy nation...am set apart, am peculiar...never lose the consciousness of who you are
Think the best thoughts
Have the best ideas and have the courage to push your ideas
Don't have the poverty mentality
I will show forthe the praises of he who called me out of darkness into his marvelous light...we are the people of God -This is not singing to God...show..it's not the praises service here ...it's displaying the virtues , wonderfully deeds and perfection of God. I can do that today..this is my story, my life pattern
Even if u have not been living right or things have not been like this for me ...the word shows you what u are suppose to be. All you have to do is make a turn around..make the change today and then the holy spirit will enable you
When u grow in grace ...You win everytime, if you won't quit then the lord won't quit and then you dont lose.
1peter 1:2 multiplication of God's grace -epgnosis full knowledge it's a knowledge of relationship not information..relating with him. The holy spirit brings us to this level thru fellowship and my daily walk with him..this is gotten thru prayer, talk to him as a person, cos he is and always there...Jesus stands for us...remember God is a spirit..God does not relate to us as thou we are many...this is how Jesus ministers to us through the holy spirit . The HS brings the presence of the father with you every where you go ...where your pastor can't be with you...he reminds u things like prayer and reading the bible. The HS is he who strengthens you ...through issues you never thought you could do. God wants us to rely on him..he does not function only in church...he is there 24hours...if u listen to him you will be heaping success upon success.
1 Kings 4:29-31 New International Version (NIV)
Solomon’s Wisdom
29 God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore. 30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East, and greater than all the wisdom of Egypt. 31 He was wiser than anyone else, including Ethan the Ezrahite—wiser than Heman, Kalkol and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his fame spread to all the surrounding nations. HS is he who performs all this. It's the same spirit with you if you listen to him...the word is nothing if the HS does not put life into it...when he does it then produces its results ...fellowshiping with HS makes me a partaker of his divine ability. Halleluyah
Deafness was cured , surgery cancelled
