Among other resources available for you on this platform includes life transforming Video & Audio Messages , Image Galleries, Sunday School Manuals, Digging Deep & SOD Manuals, Newsletters & Spiritual blogs. Men & Brethren, it is worthy of note that our 61st Annual Convention in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ (2013) witnessed huge attendance to the Glory of the Almighty God. The crowd seeking Jesus Christ our Lord and our Saviour occupied all available space at the Redemption camp even to the extent that if we have double the size of the present auditorium on that day there will still be no space to sit or to stand. To the extent that the Redemption Camp as a whole was filled to capacity with brethren earnestly seeking JESUS, hence we have decided to build a New Auditorium for the Lord our God.

Memory Verse: โ€œFor he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.โ€ - Psalm 91:11

Bible Passage: HEBREWS 1:13โ€“14

*13* But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

*14* Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

INTRODUCTION

Angels are supernatural beings, created by God. In both the Old Testament (Hebrew: malโ€™akh) and the New Testament (Greek: angelos), the word simply means โ€œmessenger.โ€ (Revelation 19:10). Biblically, angels are often strange and fearsome beings, sent by God as intermediaries to communicate with human beings on His behalf. Their messages include warnings, revelations, prophecies, deliverance and counsel. Angelic visitations bring comfort and protection, but at the same time, they can be mysterious and terrifying (Luke 2:9). The ministry of angels is rooted in the word of God (Psalm 103:20โ€“21).

LESSON OUTLINE
1. DESCRIPTION AND CATEGORIES
2. THE BENEFITS

DESCRIPTION AND CATEGORIES

Angels are part of Godโ€™s creations (Psalm 148:2, 5), and they are spirit beings (Hebrews 1:13โ€“14). In their makeup, they are greater in power and might than man (2 Peter 2:11; 2 Kings 19:35). Angels are not omniscient like God; for instance, they do not know the time of the coming of Christ (Matthew 24:36). Also, angels are not omnipresent; they are said to go from place to place (Daniel 9:21โ€“23). They are not to be worshipped nor prayed to by humans (Colossians 2:18; Revelation 22:8โ€“9). They neither die nor get married (Luke 20:36; Mark 12:25). The number of the existing angels is unknown, but the Bible referred to them as innumerable (Hebrews 12:22). Angels are in categories, including:

Archangels: The title โ€œarchangelโ€ suggests authority or leadership among angels. Archangels are powerful warriors often seen as protectors of Godโ€™s people (Jude 1:9). They have a pivotal role in Godโ€™s end-time plan (1 Thessalonians 4:16).

Cherubim: These are the protectors of sacred spaces and divine secrets (Genesis 3:24). They have multiple facesโ€”a human, a lion, and an eagleโ€”each indicating qualities such as wisdom, power, service and swiftness (Ezekiel 10:14โ€“15). They also have multiple wings and are covered with eyes for awareness and vigilance (Ezekiel 10:9; 12). God is portrayed as riding on a cherub (Psalm 18:10).

Seraphim: These are described as fiery, six-winged beings that stand in the presence of God. One pair of wings covers their eyes, one covers their feet, and with another they fly around the throne of the Lord (Isaiah 6:2). Their primary role is to worship and exalt Godโ€™s holiness (Isaiah 6:3). They serve as a bridge between Godโ€™s holiness and humanityโ€™s imperfection (Isaiah 6:6โ€“7).

Angels: Angels rescued Lot and his family (Genesis 19:15โ€“16), opposed Balaam and his donkey (Numbers 22:21โ€“31), nearly destroyed Jerusalem for Davidโ€™s sin (2 Samuel 24:10โ€“16), and slaughtered 185,000 Assyrian soldiers overnight (2 Kings 19:35). Frequently, they appear holding a sword (Numbers 22:31). Sometimes, Godโ€™s angels can take the form of humans to deliver His message to man (Genesis 18 and 19).

THE BENEFITS

We benefit from the ministry of angels in the following ways:

1. Angels supply supernatural strength to Godโ€™s children (Luke 22:43).

2. They give godly guidance (Matthew 1:20).

3. They deliver revelation and prophetic messages (Luke 1:5โ€“16).

4. They are sent to deliver Godโ€™s children from danger (Psalm 34:7).

5. Godโ€™s angels are present wherever a child of God is (Psalm 91:11).

CONCLUSION
You need to know more and maximise the ministry of angels. Pray to God for angelic visitation now.

QUESTIONS
1. Briefly describe and state the categories of angels that you know.
2. Mention five benefits of the ministry of angels to believers.

MEMORY VERSE: โ€œAnd the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.โ€ - 1Thessalonians 5:23

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-11

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

INTRODUCTION

Sanctification is a spiritual surgery performed by God in the life of a saved soul (Ezekiel 36:26). It is the second work of grace after salvation. Sanctification simply means to make holy, pure and separated unto God (Jeremiah 1:4-5). It is a progressive work of God in man that makes us free from sin and be like Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Romans 8:13). It is vital to understand the process and benefits of sanctification.

LESSON OUTLINES
1. THE PROCESS
2. THE BENEFITS

THE PROCESS

To be sanctified, you need to see yourself as you are; filthy and in need of help, after which you cry to God for deliverance (Isaiah 6:5). Present yourself to the Sanctifier โ€“ God (1 Thessalonians 5:23), through the Holy Spirit (1 Peter 1:2; 2 Thessalonians 2:13), the word of God (John 17:17), the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 9:13-14; 1 John 1:7, 9), and daily surrender (Colossians 3:8-10; Romans 6:13). This process can be a painful experience but the result is that you are broken and transformed into a new nature (Galatians 2:20; 2 Timothy 2:3-4).
The awareness that you do not own yourself anymore helps you prioritise God in everything you do, and whatever does not glorify Him is a no-go area for you (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

THE BENEFITS

Sanctification represents a believerโ€™s victory over the flesh (Romans 7:24-25), the world (1 John 5:4), and the devil (James 4:7). A sanctified believer will enjoy the ability to easily resist temptation because there is a renewed hatred for sin and lust. Sanctification fosters intimacy with God, increases spiritual strength and stability (Psalm 15:1-5). It also aids โ€˜clean recordโ€™ for believers, that is, the enemy will not have a foothold over such (John 14:30). It helps believers to be humble and submissive to God and to constituted authorities. The Adamic nature in man is subdued (Romans 8:1-5). It gives the believer control over self (Galatians 2:20; Romans 6:13). It promotes right standing before God and pure intentions of actions and words (Acts 24:16).

CONCLUSION
Sanctification is an integral part of Christian growth; every child of God must earnestly desire it.

1. Briefly explain the process of sanctification.
2. What are the benefits of sanctification?

MEMORY VERSE: "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls."โ€“Acts 2:41

BIBLE PASSAGE: MATTHEW 28:19-20

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

INTRODUCTION
The word "baptise" comes from the Greek word "baptizo," which means "to immerse or dip under water". Water baptism is a public declaration of our promise not to walk in sin anymore. It also connects us to the body of Christ. Jesus Himself was baptised by immersion (Matthew 3:16).

LESSON OUTLINES
1. THE DESCRIPTION
2. THINGS TO NOTE

THE DESCRIPTION

Water baptism is a Christian rite representing a public profession of repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. It symbolises identification with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, signifying commitment to God. Being submerged in the water represents dying to one's old life, and rising from the water symbolises the new life in Christ.

The act is a command from Jesus and an act of obedience for believers (Matthew 28:19-20). Water baptism is a practical demonstration of our spiritual reality and a personal testimony that we have passed from the old life of sin to the new life of righteousness in Christ through faith (Colossians 2:11-12).

The main requirements for water baptism are a personal faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and repentance from sin. You must also have heard the Gospel message and be able to make a public confession of faith that you have accepted Christ as your Lord and Saviour. The correct way to get baptised is that prayer is offered, and the person is lowered under the water before rising to signify a new beginning in the name of "The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit," which is what Jesus commanded us.
As soon as a person believes in Christ, he can be, and is encouraged to be baptised (Acts 8:35-39; 10:45-48).

THINGS TO NOTE

1. It is not the baptism that saves, but baptism is a response to the declaration of an inward saving faith.

2. Those who have given their lives to Christ are encouraged to proclaim their faith publicly through water baptism. However, not all believers may be opportune to do so due to some uncontrollable factors like the "thief on the cross" (Luke 23:39-43).

3. Water baptism should be done in the name of "The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19).

4. Any believer in Christ who has been baptised by immersion should be welcomed and accepted by the Church of God, irrespective of denomination.

5. No one is ineligible for baptism due to past sins; in fact, baptism is a sign that you believe and have been cleansed from sin through faith in Christ.

CONCLUSION
Water baptism is a public declaration of faith in the saving grace of Jesus.

QUESTIONS
1. Briefly describe Water Baptism.
2. Mention five things to note about Water Baptism.

Memory Verse:
*Remember Lot's wife.*
Luke 17:32.

Bible Text: Genesis 19:12-26 KJV
[12] And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
[13] For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
[14] And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
[15] And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
[16] And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. [17] And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
[18] And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
[19] Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
[20] Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
[21] And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
[22] Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
[23] The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
[24] Then the LORD rained upon S***m and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
[25] And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
[26] But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

INTRODUCTION: Lot's wife may not be known in the Bible for many reasons but her tragic end by becoming a pillar of salt has always brought people's attention to her attachment to worldly allures, covetousness and indiscipline. Despite the angels' strong warning to her family to flee the city and never to look back after God released destruction into S***m and Gomorrah she disobeyed God and suffered the consequences.

LESSON OUTLINE ONE
LESSONS FROM LOT'S WIFE
1. Never yield to partial obedience, it is dangerous. God said they should flee from the city and not look back.
2. Do not look back once you secure your redemption from the devil - Luke 9:62.
3. Guide your heart away from the past - Proverbs 4:23.
4. Any offer from the devil is a time bomb.
5. Your foundation will be tested at every juncture in life.
6. Her destruction did not stop his family progressing out of danger.
7. Spiritual focus is essential.

LESSON OUTLINE TWO
BE FOCUSED
Lot's wife is a symbol of disobedience, divided loyalty and loss of spiritual focus. Though she left S***m but her attachment to the beautiful things in that city was still engraved in her heart.
1. Don't yield to the devil's temptation-Proverbs 1:10.
2. Stay on God's direction not on the world's distraction. Solomon's heart went astray - 1 kings 11:1.
3. Remember half obedience is disobedience - 1 Samuel 15:22.
4. Though the past seems attractive, it is also destructive.
5. Distraction will pull you back to old ways that are cancerous - 2 Timothy 4:10.

CONCLUSION: 'Remember Lot's wife' is a powerful statement to everyone in the Christian race, looking back to the past affiliation to worldliness may end one's journey abruptly. Never attach yourself to the past, don't turn back to what God has delivered you from - 2 Corinthians 5:17.

PRAYER POINTS
1. Father, deliver me from the spirit of looking back.
2. Father, give me grace to move forward and never return to my past.
3. Lord, fix my eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith.
4. Every force assigned against me to stop my progress, scatter in Jesus Name.
5. Father, let my faith remain strong in times of pressure and temptation.

GOLDEN DIET FOR THE WEEK
Monday: But Lot's wife looked behind her, and she became a pillar of salt. - Genesis 19:26.
Tuesday: Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.
Wednesday: Let your eyes look straight ahead - Proverbs 4:25.
Thursday: If anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him - Hebrews 10:38.
Friday: He who endures to the end shall be saved - Matthew 24:13.
Saturday: Never look back once you secure your redemption from the devil - Luke 9:62.

MEMORY VERSE: โ€œIn whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.โ€ - Ephesians 1:7

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 PETER 1:17-21

17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

INTRODUCTION

Blood is the vital fluid that circulates through the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing waste products. It is the core aspect of life. There are four components of blood: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The Bible makes us understand that blood is the centre of life (Leviticus 17:11). The blood of Jesus symbolises the ultimate sacrifice and fulfilment of God's covenant. The blood of Jesus represents cleansing, covenant and the foundation of the Christian life (Hebrews 9:14-15).

LESSON OUTLINE

1. THE BENEFITS
2. REQUIREMENTS TO BE A BENEFICIARY

THE BENEFITS

As believers in Christ, we are forgiven of our sins by the blood of Jesus. We have been freed from the stain, shame, guilt, and consequence of sin (Hebrews 9:22; 1 John 1:7-9). Jesus' shed blood paid the price necessary to redeem us (Hebrews 9:12; Ephesians 1:7). Jesus took the wrath we deserved on Him when He died, shed His blood and declared us justified (Romans 5:9). Sin separated us from God, the shed blood of Jesus reconciled us back to God (Colossians 1:20).

We are washed in the blood of Jesus, consecrated, and set apart by God to be used as holy vessels (Hebrews 13:12). Those who believe in Jesus and place their faith in His finished work on the cross receive eternal life (John 3:36). We can boldly come into God's presence at any time because of the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 10:19; Ephesians 2:13).

Jesus came as the fulfilment of the law (Romans 10:4). By His death, He brought the New Covenant into effect. He shed His blood to guarantee the โ€œbetter promisesโ€ of the New Covenant to all who believe in Him. (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 8:6). We are healed by His blood (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24). We are victorious. The events of the Passover during the Exodus from Egypt were a foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross (Exodus 12:13; Revelation 12:11).

REQUIREMENTS TO BE A BENEFICIARY

1. Salvation: This is a major prerequisite (John 1:12). The blood of Jesus only works for those who belong to Him. You must repent, believe in Jesus, and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour before you can partake of His blood (Ephesians 1:7).

2. Obedience: You must be ready to obey God through His word (Isaiah 59:1-2; Romans 6:16-18).

3. Confession and Testimony: This is about declaring faith in Christ, confessing what His blood has done in your life, and testifying about your salvation and redemption (Romans 10:9-10; Revelation 12:11).

CONCLUSION
Victorious Christians are bold and unashamed to declare the name of Jesus Christ and the power in His blood.

QUESTIONS
1. State at least seven benefits of the blood of Jesus.
2. What are the requirements to be a beneficiary of the blood of Jesus?

MEMORY VERSE: โ€œAnd he is before all things, and by him all things consist.โ€ - Colossians 1:17

Bible Passage: PSALM 139:1โ€“5

1 O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.

5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

INTRODUCTION

The immanence of God refers to His presence, nearness, and active involvement in His creation and in the lives of His people. It is the biblical truth that God is not distant, or merely observing from afar; He is close, attentive, connected and relational. This is different from His transcendence, which means that God is above, infinitely greater, more powerful, distant and separate from the material universe, existing beyond and utterly distinct from everything He created (Jeremiah 23:23; Isaiah 55:9).

LESSON OUTLINES

1. BIBLICAL INSTANCES
2. THE IMPLICATIOBS

BIBLICAL INSTANCES

God has always been present with and involved in the world He created, especially with His people. At creation, God formed Adam โ€œfrom the dustโ€ and breathed life into him (Genesis 2:7). God's voice was heard โ€œwalking in the gardenโ€ (Genesis 3:8). The burning bush reveals God's personal call to Moses (Exodus 3:4) as well as His awareness, compassion, and active response to the affliction of His people (Exodus 3:7). God's presence dwelt among Israel in the tabernacle (Exodus 25:8) and His glory (visibly) filled the temple (1 Kings 8:10โ€“11). David declares God's inescapable nearness: whether in the heavens, depths, or darkness, God is there (Psalm 139:7). 1 Kings 19:12 reveals God's personal and intimate way of speaking to His prophets.
Jesus, becoming God in the flesh (John 1:14), is the ultimate act of divine immanence. โ€œImmanuelโ€ means โ€œGod with usโ€ (Matthew 1:23). He came to earth, walked, talked, healed, cried and ate with people. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would come to dwell in believers (John 14:17). The Spirit is not just near but indwelling, guiding, and teaching us (John 14:26). Christ remains present with His people through the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:20). In the New Heavens and New Earth, God will dwell fully and forever with His people (Revelation 21:3). This is the eternal expression of God's immanence.

THE IMPLICATIONS

1. God is accessible โ€“ We can pray and hear from Him (1 John 5:14โ€“15).

2. God is personal โ€“ God knows our thoughts, fears, and desires (Psalm 139:1โ€“3).

3. God is compassionate โ€“ He sees suffering and acts accordingly (Exodus 3:7โ€“8).

4. God disciplines and guides โ€“ As a Father does (Hebrews 12:6โ€“7).

5. God is worthy of worship โ€“ Not just as Creator but as a loving Father (Revelation 15:4).

CONCLUSION
God is not far from believers in Christ: โ€œfor in Him we live and move and have our beingโ€ (Acts 17:27โ€“28).

QUESTIONS
1. What are the biblical instances of God's immanent?
2. Mention four implications of God's immanent.
