Message: Blessed Are Those Who Believe Without Seeing
Text: John 20:29

Thomas, one of the disciples of Jesus, doubted the resurrection until he saw Jesus with his own eyes. And in John 20:29a, Jesus said to him:
“Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed.”

But then Jesus reveals something deeper something greater for us: “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:29b)

Church, we are in a better position. We have not seen Jesus physically, yet we believe. And according to His Word, that belief attracts a special blessing.

To be blessed is to live in a state of divine favor. It means enjoying God’s grace, His protection, and His care even without physical evidence.

Faith is the foundation of this walk. The Bible tells us in Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Faith is not based on sight, it is based on trust in God’s Word and His testimonies.
There is a special kind of blessing reserved for those who believe without tangible proof, those who believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

So let us not behave like Thomas.
Let us build a faith that trusts God completely. When we trust the Word of God fully, we begin to see results. We begin to experience His power in ways that go beyond human understanding.

Consider Abraham and Sarah. In their old age, they gave birth not because it was possible by human standards, but to show that nothing is impossible with God. (Genesis 21:1–3). All God requires from us is trust.

As Christians, we must believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection is the foundation of our faith, without it, there is no Christianity. Do not wait to see before you believe.

When you wake up each day, thank God. Praise Him. Worship Him. Even when circumstances are difficult, let your faith rise. Even when answers delay, keep giving thanks because gratitude is proof that you still trust God.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:7: “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” That is the Christian journey. God honored the faith of the three Hebrew boys; Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego because they declared:

“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us… But even if He does not, we will not serve your gods.” (Daniel 3:17–18). That is unwavering faith.

Do not be physically present in church but spiritually absent. Engage your spirit. Open your heart. Enjoy God’s grace, His protection, and His care. Do not operate in the “Thomas system”; where you must see before you believe.
Instead, hold on to the Word of God.

Hebrews 4:16 says: “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we now have access to God. So come boldly. Believe fully. Trust completely.

Prayer has no side effects but doubt can limit what God wants to do in your life. Believe every Word of God. And remember:
Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. Amen

Message: Practical steps to facing life's challenges
Texts: Genesis 11:6, Genesis 12:1, John 1:1-3, Isaiah 29:11-12, Proverbs 4:25, Numbers 23:19 Hebrews 6:17, Proverbs 21:16

Salvation is a comprehensive assurance of a life of dignity to every believer. When you continue to suffer after salvation, you must check your life. It is not the devil but your ignorance. There is a responsibility on your part to acquire knowledge and wisdom through the word.

As a believer you must bear fruit. One way of doing that is by fixing your ignorance and dwelling on God’s word. In John 1:1-3 the Bible says everything created in the world was created through the word. The word cleanses you. Your life is always better with the word of God dwelling richly in you. If you walk in the word, you walk in light. Christ comes into your life. In him you live, you move and have your being. Like Christ, you become divinity at work in humanity.

If you walk in the word, and believe in same, everything you need as a believer is given in Christ. Power, wisdom, riches. etc. These are not theories. They are real when you know, believe and think it. Don’t be conformed to the world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

What does it mean to believe?

First by hearing the word which provides knowledge. The second knowledge you need to have is understanding. Understanding basically is the light or inspiration you draw from the word which will then produce faith. What you can see from the word is what you get. If you see nothing, nothing will you receive.

But what you see, you meditate on it. Establish it in your heart for God is not a man to lie. He cannot lie. You just do your part by being a well disciplined thinker, determined, make sacrifices by studying the word more, being diligent, disciplined and dedicated and you will marvel at what God will do.

These are five basic steps at bearing fruits through the word.

1. Read the word and focus on it.
2. Think it. Whatever you want. Your thought is your world.
3. Possess a possibility mentality. Say it. Declare it. Die to your senses. Don’t walk with a person who is not word minded. The word works. Ephesians 5:30
4. See beyond looking
5. Give it your praise! Praise is higher than prayer! Amen!!!

Message: The Resurrection of Christ
Text: Matthew 27:66; Matthew 28:11-15

Jesus Christ died on the cross so that we might be saved. As Christians, we must hold firmly to the life and teachings of Christ, and boldly proclaim to the world how He died and rose again.

Over 2,000 years ago, the Romans and the Pharisees did everything within their power to prevent the prophecy of His resurrection from coming to pass. Even after crucifying Him, they were not satisfied. They pierced His side and gave Him vinegar to drink. Yet, it did not end there. Scripture says in Matthew 27:66, “So they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard".

They secured the tomb, but the question is, are we securing what we believe?

Do you truly believe in Jesus Christ? And what are you doing to guard and grow that belief?

How many people have you told about the resurrection of Jesus?

Too often, we limit our devotion to moments of celebration; His birth, His death, and His resurrection. But our faith must go beyond seasons. The Word of God is the power unto salvation, and we must live it daily.

You may have many followers on social media, but how many are you leading to Christ? How many are following you into a deeper relationship with God?

Today, we celebrate a risen Savior. The resurrection is not just an event. It is the foundation of our faith. Through His resurrection, Christ gave us access to Him and the power to impact lives through His Word.

Jesus remained committed to the very end. He gave His life so that we might be saved. In the same way, we must make meaningful use of every moment, the 24 hours given to us each day, to live for Him and share His truth.

No man of God has power on his own. All power and all healing come from God alone. So come to Christ with understanding, knowing what He has done for you. Tell your children. Tell your generations. Let the story of Christ live on through you. Jesus is risen indeed! Amen!!!

He is not here, he is risen!!!! And this is how we celebrated it at the Restoration Temple on Resurrection Sunday!

Rev Ashford Tawiah Smith
Message: Good Friday
Texts: Mark 14:10, Isaiah 53:5

Today is Good Friday! Even though Christ died a painful death, the day on which he died has been described as Good Friday because you have been redeemed. The whole world is celebrating Easter and as a believer, you must not forget what Jesus did on the cross. It is so powerful.

You have to ponder and reflect on what Jesus went through. He went to Jerusalem knowing too well he was going to be killed, yet, he went triuphantly to face it. It is the day love spoke loudest.

In Mark 14:10 the Bible says He was betrayed by his allies, and later beaten and mocked. What will you do as a believer if you were betrayed and you will at some point? How would you react when you feel betrayed and falsely accused?

As painful as it may be, you must know that as a believer there is always promotion after every betrayal or accusation. Christ was nailed to the cross but later ascended to his throne of glory.

Jesus did all that for your sisns. He paid the full price. In Isaiah 53:5 the Bible says he was wounded for our transgression. God takes the foolish things of this world to comfound the wise.

Jesus' death is about love and forgiveness. In John 15:13, the Bible says " there is no greater love than this" that a man will die for his friend." Yes he did, and when he was done, he said "it is finished."
It is finished is the price of salvation which was fully paid. Jesus completed his mandate for salvation. On this Good Friday, it is time for you to respond. Accept his sacrifice and win more souls for Christ. In Jesus name, Amen!

We lift your name on high. We are grateful to you O Lord. You came to die, so we would have life and have it more abundantly. On this Good Friday we say, thank you Lord!

Rev. Ashford Tawiah Smith
Message: Count Your Blessings and Be Grateful
Text: Psalm 103:2

Beloved, has God been a blessing in your life?

Many of us spend time crying over things that, in truth, do not matter, while ignoring the countless blessings God has already given us.

Life is full of blessings but often, we fail to recognize and value them.

There is a story often told about the great British writer, William Shakespeare. He once lamented because he had no shoes. But one day, he saw a man who had no legs and instantly, his complaints ceased. That moment changed his perspective.

Because when you don’t have legs, your movement is limited. You are placed at a disadvantage. Suddenly, what seemed like a big problem of no shoes became insignificant compared to what he had seen.

The Bible reminds us in Psalm 103:2: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.” God has blessed us abundantly, yet we often fail to appreciate Him.

Like William Shakespeare, we must come to a place of realization that what we already have is more valuable than what we lack. He thought shoes would make him better, but he discovered that simply being able to stand was the real blessing.

Church, we must learn to appreciate the little things. Visit the hospital, and you will see people who cannot eat on their own with some being fed through tubes. Yet many of us, who can eat, walk, breathe, and live freely, still complain.

As humans, we constantly compare our lives, our marriages, our children with others. But comparison steals gratitude. Instead, we must learn to appreciate God for who He is and for what He has done.

No matter what you are going through, always give glory to God. Stop complaining, and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you to your breakthrough. Learn to seize every moment as it comes.

Appreciate the little things because as long as there is life, there is hope. Value life. It is a gift. Enjoy every moment of it.

From January till now, think about all that God has done for you, both the visible and invisible blessings. Count them, and be grateful. Amen!!
