Excerpts of Grace Service - 17th May, 2026.

Text: 1st Cor 2:12-16

In Hebrews 4:16, God tells us to come to the throne of mercy to find grace in time of need. The things of the Spirit are understood and discerned by the spirit man only.

1st Cor 2:12: We do not have the Spirit of the world and fleshy character like cheating, lying and the like. We must have a way of receiving from God. You need God in everything whether rich or not. You need salvation and peace.

A carnal man will not receive from God. The Spirit of the world is one of fear. The one of God does amazing things and helps us to do greater works.

The good opportunities coming to you has been freely given by God and if you don't take them, then it is your fault.

To receive from God, the step is to say, God I need your help and you will find grace and mercy to help in time of need. You can limit yourself by your mindset, i.e what you think.

The Holy Spirit came to help us. He is our helper. Do you have the Holy Ghost? He is here to help us know the things of God and be conscious of what He has freely given.

Vs 13: He knows all things and teaches us. You need to take a step towards what you are asking for. You need to go out by faith.

You need to speak the word, then act on it. Don't feel like you are unfit or unlearned. If you are not learned, you have ample opportunity to learn. You are not inferior, but don't use that to be proud or disrespectful. Grow, learn and stretch even when you have knowledge. Have a good attitude always and it will take you far.

Many abuse every opportunity given to them / access they have, even those in church. They don't know how to maximize relationships.

This week I want you to be conscious of God's presence, what He says and apply them.

Peter told Christ, we tried over and over, but at your Word. You may have tried over and over certain things, but the Spirit may tell you to 'just say good morning' to a particular person for instance, as that person may have changed his mind towards you at that time.

The life of a child of God is spiritual, 'comparing spiritual things with spiritual '.

You cannot compare yourself to one praying, reading the Word always if you are not like that as you will not be sensitive to the things of the Spirit like that person.

Ask God, what are you saying in that situation. Don't keep shut and you will hear God and he will say why and how to go about it.

Don't look at men as God, but God as God. The enemy will try you and make you compare yourself with others but trust God and resist the enemy with the shield of faith. Faith comes by hearing the Word. Read it.

The enemy is a sore loser. He may try to come around your family so pray for them and train them in the Word so they know how to resist the enemy also.

Don't bury your destiny. In this world, you will make an impact and do amazing things as the grace of God is working for you.

Don't take the glory for God's things. It belongs to God. People will not be able to pull you down as God is on your side, but you need to be on the Lord's side also, in his covering.

Let your prayer this week, be 'let my efforts be seen in my workplace, etc.

This week, I speak to you that the grace of God will magnify you. You will not be small, but great, Amen.

Vs 14: The natural man will give you natural advice as spiritual things are foolishness to him.

Beware of every kind of advice. Don't affect your future or generations to come through reckless actions.

The grace of God is available this week to rise above because God has designed your growth.

Grace is in levels. There are some people brought to be blessed by God, don't waste the opportunity like Gehazi did who did not understand spiritual things. Don't waste God's grace in your life. It is for his glory.

The things you do for God are not in vain. Don't do it for the reward but for Him and you will see the impact, Amen.

Every monitoring spirit sent to distract you from destiny is disconnected from you. You are blessed and lifted, Amen.

Prayer: Areas of my struggle move forward. I move forward by grace.

Testimony: Last Sunday Pastor was praying and said there will be testimony this week, in interviews and others. I heard on to that as I had one the next day.

I was given an accessment test which looked difficult. I prayed, did it along with an assignment and they were impressed and I got the job, in fact my salary was reviewed upwards. To God be the glory!

Tomorrow is Another Great Day in His Presence!

HPDCC Devotional Thought for the Day - 22nd May, 2026

Topic: The Blessing of the Lord

Text: Exodus 23:25 - 'And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.'

If we ask who wants to be blessed, everyone will indicate in the positive. This is good because we are told that the blessing of the Lord 'makes rich' and adds no sorrow, (Prov 10:22) meaning that peace (of mind etc) comes with the blessing gotten from God, not evil means.

There is a blessing however, that is not popular, and it is the blessing of your bread and water (healing/nourishment to the body).

There is a however, an action that is essential to get this blessing. The blessing of our food and taking away of sickness is dependent on SERVICE which is defined as 'an act of helpful activity, volunteering, or doing something beneficial for another person.' - Collins Dictionary.

God has said in our key text above that if we serve (volunteer, assist and help his cause/kingdom), he will bless our food (nourishment) and take away illness from the midst of us.

Does it not surprise you how John the Baptist was able to survive on locusts and wild honey?(Matt.3:4).

How did he have the power to be a powerful voice on mere locusts / insects? It was because he served the Lord and his food was blessed within his body.

When you serve from the heart, God knows and your little becomes more than enough. Let us be hot for the Lord and have a heart like David who sought the Lord.

1 Samuel 16:7- 'But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.'

It was this service that raised Kimg Hezekiah (2nd Kings 20) up from his bed of sickness and bought him extra years on earth.

At the end of the day, the following scripture will be manifest: 1 Corinthians 3:11 - 13:
'For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.'

Let's ponder on these things. It remains our Month of Grace. Let's go and conquer!

See you Sunday in church!

Excerpts of Thursday Biz Prayer Dash - 21 May, 2026

Text: Psalms 5:12 - 'For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.'

We need to understand the wisdom of financial management. Giving is good but you need to do so with wisdom. Investment is much better.

Money attracts people (Proverbs 19: 4), so learn to be wise in spending it.

Be led by God's spirit. You cannot help everyone, do the little you can and teach them how to 'catch fish instead'.

Establish systems of gainful employment. Give wisely, investment helps you help others as you can also employ others.

People can help budget your income when you tell them. It attracts more spending and even envy/attack. So be careful about such things in your business and work so as to keep expanding.

The economy may be bad but we are higher. Don't spend your business profit, but roll it over. Be wise and invest, do not spend on frivolities.

Watch your spending, work on your skills and let it bring you income. Don't sit on what you can exchange for money.

Give what you are able or what is in your power to give.

Honour your parents and do what is neccessary to them, but within your means.

Save 10 percent of your earnings even as you tithe 10 percent against emergencies and the like. For every N10,000 for instance, save at and invest at least 30 to 40 percent (on extra monies outside feeding).

God gives us power to make wealth (Deut 8.18), there are mutual funds, fixed deposits etc to increase it. Beware of fake investments and money doubling schemes.

Look into trade by barter, exchanging skills or products etc. Remember two can chase a 1000 so pray together and pray specifically.

Faith grows in hard times. Pray without ceasing in the day and night-1 Thessalonians 5:17

We need financial and business wisdom. One can earn by commissions, affliate marketing etc but avoid money doubling and gambling schemes.

You can purchase items on behalf of others etc, like food, cars etc. You do not need to have a store. We have to pray that God will direct people to us to buy from us. Spend below your means, celebrate your achievements in a wise manner.

Learn, unlearn and relearn. Innovate learn new skills and expand into new areas of knowledge in the course of your work.

My people perish for lack of knowledge of God's word and what to do- Hosea 4:6

We pray for courage to act on good ideas not discouragement, or complaining but action and the ability to follow what Joshua 1:8 says.

Prayer: We pray against struggle and lack in work and business.

- We ask for speed. We refuse missed opportunities and denials.
- We pray for favor to surround our work and business.
- Fill our mouths with laughter , we claim an harvest of good works - Psalm 126:2

Tomorrow is Another Great Day in His Presence.

Happy birthday to Minister Joel, thanks for being a blessing to HDPCC!

Excerpts of May 10th Grace and Baby Dedication Service (Baby Zion Olaniyi)

Text: Hebrews 4:16

You are meant to grow as a living thing. You can only help a living thing, and what helps us grow is when we study the word. We need to have hunger for the Word to consume the same.

God is telling us today to come. You may be here for God's help which is far better than that of men who will remind you of how they lifted you.

There is grace for you here today. Just like the woman bent down for 18 years and many others who found grace on his sight you will today.

God knows all your feelings and expects you to cast your burden upon Him. If you are silent, and do not ask, you will not be given.

Grace is not earned, it is received by faith and then dependent on how you serve God and according to his sovereignity.

Tell yourself that you receive the grace for this week for goodness, not failure. Grace comes not because you are qualified but because he is merciful. Stop struggling with what God has for you.

Christ has done it and his goodness is made available for us. This week will be different but you have to ask for grace to walk in it.

Declare you will receive the mercy of God for divine qualification.

You are not qualified, but you get it by his grace. We obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

We need to grow in knowledge. God gives grace to the humble. The proud man feel things will just fall into their laps.

You need the help of God for us to grow in Christ in the assignment he has called us. We are created and we have solutions through the help and mercy of God.

He knows sees and feels what we go through (Heb 4:15). When you believe him you will boldly come to the throne of grace

Christ sympathizes with our weakness as our high priest that is why he can help us. He gave us victory as he had conquered the devil.

However there is something called the fellowship of his suffering and as mature Christians we go through that in the line of our walk on Christ. Like Paul be close to God to ask and know next steps in all things.

In a time of famine, you need to come to God by faith. When you are clueless, believe God and pray, you will receive help from the Lord.

A closed mouth is a closed destiny. Learn how to speak at the right time with wisdom.

I know God will help you as his grace is upon your life. We need to learn to grow in dedication, giving, time etc. Sacrifice is painful. A life dedicated to God is one of sacrifice and faith.

That's why we are told the righteous will rise 7 times if he falls. Participate in the things of God. Not off and on. If you are not going to be around, call to inform, not vice versa. That is growth.

Some people here have unquestionable commitment. I am not surprised when such are blessed. Mercy is not pity but God's goodness and favor. Today, you will pray that 'I obtain your mercy today and it will speak for me'.

Esther and Daniel were meant to be slaves but lifted by favor. Tell yourself that the earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof. We will succeed, breakthrough and expand.

God can sympathize with your pain.

Prayer: Begin to pray now for mercy (name the area)

Open our eyes to your grace, let your hand manifest upon our life

Tomorrow is Another Great Day in His Presence!

Excerpts of Thursday Business Prayer Dash - 14th May, 2026

Text: Isaiah 45:1-8,23; Phil 2:10

God spoke about Cyrus, an unbelieving king years before it happened that he will help deliver the Israelites. The word says the heart of a king is in God's hand and we will stand before kings - Prov. 22:29.

There is something about a king. He controls resources in any territory or organisation and determines what to be done.

Today we will pray that the heart of kings will open to us (Prov 21:1). As stated in verse 8 of Isaiah 45: we will pray that the skies pour down righteousness in this month of Grace and that the earth should open, and bring forth salvation not sorrow or curses for us or in our work.

Isaiah 45:7 says 'I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.' We will request today for peace in our business and increase, Amen.

Just as the earth cried out against Cain, the earth will spring up salvation for us and it will be well with us.

Like Daniel and Joseph increased in their gifts and became visible, it will be same for us in Jesus' name. Like Solomon we pray for wisdom (2nd Chron.1:12).

Prayer: We pray for wisdom to work excellently with our Clients - Proverbs 2:6
- We pray that Salvation (goodness) springs up from the earth for us
- We pray for increase in our gifts and visibility so people come to the brightness of your rising.

Today is Another Great Day in His Presence at 6pm!

Excerpts of Sunday Service - May 3rd, 2026

Topic: The Grace of God

Text: 2nd Peter 3:18

God does all for his glory, your lifting and establishment is for God's glory. What is God's grace? That is his goodness and mercy.

Grow in the grace of what Christ has done. The gift of God to us. Those gifts are for us to grow. Not just growing but in his knowledge because what you don't know will not grow or be enhanced.

This month we are going to focus on growing and assessing the grace and knowledge of God so God can be unveiled to us.

What you don't know can be used against you even by the enemy. The grace of God distinguishes us from others as we are saved by grace, not ordinary as we must grow in the knowledge that we are saved and have the Spirit of God and your journey in life has been paid for. The suffering of Christ is for our victory over sin and death.

The devil torments you when you don't stand fast and resist him (James 4:7). When you know you are a child of grace, your life will not go the way others have gone. You need to know what Christ has destined you to be.

Ephesians 2:1- You are made alive who were dead in sin previously.

Vs 2- Anyone who does not have a relationship with God (not born again) he works in disobedience to God as he is controlled by the enemy.

Vs 4- 5: God is rich in mercy and made us alive in Christ and we were saved by grace.

Declare: The mercy of God is available for me whenever I come to Him. I seek to please Him as I love Him.

He is not against you and wants no one to perish. Note that grudges and unforgiveness can lead to hell - Matt 6:15.

You have the same power with Christ as you are sitted in heavenly places with Him and are joint heirs with Christ (Rom 8:17).

You have the ability to raise the dead and do greater works. When people say things are not working, understand that you are sitted in the realm of Christ in heavenly places. There is nothing higher than that. If prophet Elisha could call abundance to be on earth, then why not you also?

When the enemy wants to remind you of your background, tell him where you are in Christ. What you declare shall be established.

This month you shall be honored and lifted. The exceeding riches of his grace will be shown you in Christ Jesus.

You will still be doing the purpose of God for your life. Your future is great and bright as the path of the righteous (Proverbs 4:18).

You carry the riches of heaven, the riches of his grace in his kindness.

Vs 8 - It is by grace you are saved through faith. Your work is to believe. Salvation is not your work. The reason why people do wrong things is because they don't believe in God and his power to save.

It is God's gift to us. Accept the GIFT of Salvation and it's benefits today. Goodness, righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

What you need to do as a child of God is to believe. Believe you are growing in God's glory today.

Prayer: I receive the gift of God and I command things to work today. I am going from glory to glory.

- I am advancing this month, not stagnant. I command every negative thing from the past that wants to manifest now to be destroyed.

Tomorrow is Another Great Day in His Presence!

Excerpts of Friday Fix-IT Service - 8th May, 2026

Topic: Grow in Grace

Text: Romans 5:1-2, James 4:6

Our access to God's grace is through faith in Christ. Grace flows where there is faith and humility.

God resists the proud (James 4:6) and we see that in the life of Saul and David. We pray to God for his grace to be humble as said in 1 Peter 5:6 - 'Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:'

For our life to move be a blessing as Gods children, we need to grow in grace.

How does the below help us Grow in Grace:

1. Study of the Word: 2nd Tim 2:15, Romans 12:1 - It transforms your mind and helps you enjoy his grace as you see through the eyes of God. The knowing helps us grow.

2. Prayer: Jude 1:20- 'But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,'

Prayer helps us see the ability of God and our spiritual capacity is built as we have a meaningful 'relationship' with God.

We should not just talk but listen to God and worship. It releases more to achieve more. Matthew 6:7 - 'But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.'

3. Fellowship: It helps us grow as 'iron sharpens iron'. It increases your faith and pulls down Gods grace even as we agree together in fellowship

Grace can be abused through:
1. Sin: Romans 6:1-2: Grace is not a licence to sin but live responsibly. It is through the power of the Holy Spirit, we live a holy life.

2. Unbelief: Lack of belief in God is dangerous.
Matthew 13:58 says 'And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.' and Matthew 17:20 adds 'And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.'

Matthew 5:16 reads 'Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.'

This is important as we are like Christ on earth, doing good and great works to all especially to those in the household of God as we have the grace (Galatians 6:10)

Memory verse: 2 Peter 3:18- 'But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.'

Declaration: I am saved, sustained by grace and his grace is at work in my life.

Prayer: We pray for a greater understanding and walk in God's grace.

Join us on Sunday for Another Great Time in His Presence!

HPDCC Devotional - Thought for the Day - 5th April.

Topic: Praise Bomb

Text: 2 Chronicles 20:21 - 'And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.'

There is something about singing that brings and shows happiness. The Word says let there be rejoicing in the tabernacle of the righteous and that we should give thanks in all things.

There was once a woman who had no food for her kids and as they prayed to God, her neighbour who did not believe in God heard and dropped bread outside their door and went to hide.

When the woman saw it and began rejoicing, the neighbour came out and said it was him and not God so she should stop. She then said, 'Praise God, he used the devil to supply bread!'

Psalms 149:6 says 'Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;' because Praise is a weapon in our hands as we can see in the story of Paul and Silas in Acts 16.

The truth is God will supply all our needs according to his riches in glory.

Hold unto to his Word, keep in fellowship with him and create an atmosphere of Praise which he will dwell in and then see his power. It is time to trust and believe because we walk by faith and not what we see (2 Cor.5:7, Heb. 10:38).

It remains our month of Growing in Grace. Go and succeed!
