EXCERPTS FROM THE MESSAGE DELIVERED TODAY – 8th November, 2020 AT THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF RESURRECTION PEGI ESTATE BY VEN. EMEKA ANYAORAH.
Topic: God is able to keep His Promises
Text: Jeremiah 1:11-12.
Promise was defined as a declaration that one will do or refrain from doing something specified. According to the Man of God, promise is a reason to expect something. It is a ground for expectation for success, improvement or excellence. Sometimes one may not be able to fulfil his promises because of circumstances beyond him, but our God is a promise keeper.
2. He took the congregation through some scriptural promises of God and their outcomes as follows:
 God made a promise to put enmity between the offspring of a Woman and the serpent: This was fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
 God’s promise to deliver Israel from Egypt and gave them a promised land – Genesis 12ff: This promise was fulfilled in Joshua 21:43-45. Not one of God’s promise to Israel failed – Joshua 23:14.
 The promise of Judah’s return from exile in Babylon: Isiah prophesied the name of the king (Cyrus) that was to release the people of Judah – Isiah 44:24-28, Isiah 45:1-4)
 God promised to send Jesus –Isiah 7:14, Isiah 9:6. Isiah gave a vivid example of what will suffer – Isiah 53 and it came to pass.
3. The preacher also gave tips on the believer’s attitude to God’s promises as follows:
 Believe that God Has power to do whatever He said He will do – Romans 4:17-20.
 You must trust God to fulfil all He promised even if there delays Habakkuk 2:2-3, Acts 27:20-25.
 You must be expectant no matter the circumstances
 You need to tell it (Testify).
 You must endeavor to keep God in remembrance with a heart full of reference and thanksgiving.
 You should reject the enemy’s plan to put you into desperation
4. He summarized by saying that God is faithful and cannot fail.

EXCERPTS FROM VENERABLE EMEKA ANYAORAH’S MESSAGE TODAY, 6TH SEPTEMBER 2020 AT THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF RESURRECTION, PEGI ESTATE, ABUJA.
Topic: The Divine Right.
Text: John 1:11-13.
The Venerable explained the meaning of the key words in the topic from our context and said that right means, ‘that which one has i.e legal or social claim to exert a particular authority. Divine right according to the preacher is a right that can only be given or issued by God. The congregation was made to understand that the only way one can obtain that right is reflected in John 1:12 ( But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name)
2. Among the points to note includes:
• No one can become a Child of God by birth.
• Any one born of Woman is a potential sinner until he or she is led to Christ.
• Titles like Bishop, Pastor, and Evangelist do not make someone a Child of God.
• The greatest challenge any one can face is the sin factor
• The most terrible enemy one can fight is the enemy within.
3. He x-rayed the benefit that are attached when someone has received the authority to become a Child of God. The person shall:
 Get save from sin and sin destructive tendencies (John 10:9, Isiah 59:1)
 Be delivered from demonic oppressions, manipulations and frustrations (Colossians 1:13, John 8:32)
 Have full access to divine healing ( Isiah 53:5, 1st Peter 2:24, Matthew 15:21-28)
 Have full access to Divine protection (Psalm 124, 127:1-5)
 Have full access to Divine prosperity and providence (Joshua 1:7-8, Psalm 1:1-3)
 Have full access to Divine peace (Isiah 26:3,12, John 14:27)
 Have full access to eternity with God.
4. He summarized by making an alter call and those that were touched sized the opportunity to give their lives to Christ. The new converts and those that had given their lives to Christ earlier in the Church were encouraged to begin a follow up class that will kick-start next Sunday by 5 in the evening.

ECERPTS FROM THE SERMON PREACHED TODAY, 15TH MARCH 2020 AT THE CHURCH OF RESURRECTION, PEGI ESTATE, ABUJA BY VENERABLE EMEKA ANYAORAH AS SUMARIZED BY BRO PETER UCHE NNABUIKE.
THEME: Faith in God, Christian Marriage (James 1:6-7, Matthew 19:4-6)
Topic: Conflict in Marriage and the Way Out.
Conflict according to an online dictionary is defined as a clash or disagreement, often violent, between two opposing groups or individuals. It is a disagreement between two people because of preferences. It can also be within an individual. Conflict has both positive and negative aspects.
2. Conflict in marriage is inevitable. In marriage, conflict is bound to crop up because the spouses are from different backgrounds. The temperaments are also different. The congregation was referred to Matthew 19:3-11 where the Jews posed questions bothering on marriage and divorce. ‘The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. But he said unto them, all men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given’.
3. Among the causes of conflict in marriage include:
 Infidelity: This has to do with the violation of marriage contract by adultery - having sexual relationship with someone other than the person’s husband or wife. Any one that practices the above should desist from it because Bible admonished us in Ephesians chapter 5 that sexual immorality should not be mentioned among the believers. Also in Hebrews 13:4, it said, ‘Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge’.
 Denial of conjugal right: Whenever a spouse is denied his or her conjugal right, often that person is not happy. In 1 Corinthians 7:3-5, the word of God said, ‘let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency’.
 Lying and Deceit: The book of Amos said that two cannot work together unless they agree. Lying will make your partner not to trust you. If you must avoid conflict, you must not lie to your spouse
 Discrimination in in Relationship: When you get married and wouldn’t want any relation of your spouse to come around but will always want your own relations, there will be problems. When you are in marriage, your spouse’s relations automatically becomes your own relations too.
 Child Training and Discipline: Hear what the word of God said about Child’s discipline in the scriptures: i. Proverbs 22:6 & 15 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. ii. Proverbs 23:13 - Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. iii. Proverbs 29:15&17 - The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. If you fail to correct a Child and thinking that he/she will outgrow foolishness that Child will grow into a monster.
 Disrespect or insubordination: No matter what ever your husband has done, disrespecting him is not an option. It is unchristian to pay evil for evil. Romans 12:17 (Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men). Hear what the word of God said in Ephesians 5:33, ‘Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband’. Christians conquer with love. It is very possible that by your right attitude, your unbelieving spouse may give his/her life to Christ.
 Money: Every husband should know that his wife is his responsibility and every wife should know that because she is a suitable help helper, she is under obligation to fill in the blanks whenever there is a gap. Wives should remember that their husbands are their glory. An adage said that one doesn’t know the value of what he has until he loses it.
 Lack of in-depth or comprehensive Communication: One shouldn’t allow communication gap in his/her marriage. When there is lack of communication, there will be assumption. Learn to bare your heart to your spouse. If you don’t want to talk, don’t marry. You cannot be lovers and live like strangers.
 Non expression of love: When the love for your husband or wife is bottled in the heart, it brings about conflicts. You should learn to express your love for your spouse. Always be available when you are needed. Remember, there is no other person that the Bible said is one with you except your spouse.
4. Pseudo/False Means of Conflict Management in Marriage:
 Force or fight
 Denial or avoidance
 Crying
 Intimidation
 Trading blames
 Divorce/Flight
He summarized by asking the congregation not to fight the devil with the weapons of the devil.
