Title: Don't Be Ungrateful
Text: Luke 19:28-40

The Pharisees, who were supposed to be custodians of the Law of Moses and promoters of worship, failed in their role. Instead of leading others to honor JESUS as the prophesied Messiah (Zechariah 9:9), they stood back, despised the joyful praise of His disciples, and even tried to silence them. These ungrateful set of people separated themselves from the very assignment they were created for. Beloveth, never be ungrateful because:

1. GOD Has Reserved His Own People (Romans 11:4-5)
GOD has preserved for Himself people who will joyfully carry out His will without hesitation. They see it as a privilege to glorify Him.

2. GOD Has Provided for Himself (Luke 19:30-32)
GOD is self-sufficient. He owns everything and needs nothing from anyone. When JESUS needed a donkey, He had one prepared. When money was needed, He used a fish to provide it. GOD’s resources are unlimited, and He can accomplish His purposes with or without human assistance.

3. There Are Multitudes Ready to Praise Him (Luke 19:35-38)
If you withhold your praise, there are multitudes ready to glorify GOD. GOD always raises a people for Himself who recognize His mighty works and give Him the honor He deserves.

4. You Risk Being Replaced (Luke 19:39-40)
JESUS said, "If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." This means that if you refuse to acknowledge GOD, He will raise others or even inanimate objects to do so. When Saul failed in his assignment, he was replaced by David a man after GOD’s heart. Ungratefulness can lead to loss of relevance.

Conclusion
Gratitude is not optional; it is a command. If you refuse to praise and honor GOD, He will raise others in your place, even stones if necessary. Don't let pride, ingratitude, or a sense of self-importance rob you of your place in GOD's plan. Choose to praise GOD always, for He deserves it and can never be left without a witness. Will you be among those who glorify Him, or will you be replaced? The choice is yours.

Shalom!

Title: The Power of Praise
Text: Acts 16:16-30

Paul and Silas were falsely accused, lied against, beaten severely, chained, and imprisoned not for breaking any law but for casting a demon out of a young slave girl. Their suffering was unjust, yet their response was extraordinary.

Rather than complain or despair, Paul and Silas chose to lift their voices in praise to GOD. This act of faith must have puzzled the devil, the jailer, and the other inmates. What kind of people praise GOD in such a terrible situation? It makes no sense to the natural man.

Beloved no matter how bad the situation may seem, whenever an altar of heartfelt praise is raised to GOD, the supernatural is activated, and power is released to:

1. Shake Foundations (v. 26a): The very foundation of the prison was shaken. Praise has the power to destabilize every evil stronghold in your life.

2. Open Every Closed Door (v.26b): The prison doors flung open, signifying that no barrier can stand against GOD's power when His people praise Him.

3. Break Every Chain (v. 26b): Every chain that bound Paul and Silas was loosed. Praise breaks spiritual, mental, and physical chains (Micah 2:13, Isaiah 61:1, Psalm 107:14-16).

4. Humble Every Gatekeeper (Spiritual Warder) (v.30): The jailer, who was initially their captor, trembled with fear and sought salvation. Every spiritual "monitoring spirit" assigned to keep you bound will bow in the face of GOD's power

5. Bring Salvation (v. 27-30): The jailer and his entire household were saved. In the day of GOD's power, people become willing and ready to surrender their hearts to Him.

Conclusion
No matter how bleak your situation may be, don't withhold your praise. When you raise an altar of heartfelt worship, you invite GOD into your circumstances, and His power is made manifest. Will you choose to praise Him even in adversity?

Title: JESUS' Idea of the Sabbath
Text: Matthew 12:1-8

The Pharisees accused JESUS' disciples of breaking the Sabbath law because they plucked and ate grain when they were hungry. However, this accusation was based on a misunderstanding of the law. The custom allowed people to eat from fields to satisfy their hunger (Leviticus 19:9-10; Deuteronomy 23:24-25). What the Pharisees found unlawful was doing this on the Sabbath (v. 2).

The Sabbath was meant to be a time of rest, spiritual renewal, and communal worship, a day set apart to honor GOD. However, the Pharisees had burdened it with additional rules and restrictions, prioritizing rigid laws over compassion and mercy. JESUS corrected this misinterpretation, emphasizing that mercy and human needs take precedence over ritual customs.

JESUS taught that GOD desires intimacy and heartfelt worship rather than rigid religiosity. True Sabbath observance is not about strict rituals but about aligning the heart with GOD. The LORD seeks a loving allegiance, not empty rituals.

Ultimately, JESUS' disciples fulfilled the true spirit of the Sabbath, and this continues to be a reality for all genuine disciples of JESUS. Every day is a Sabbath when lived in the presence of the HOLY SPIRIT, and that's exactly what the LORD requires from us.

Today, the LORD encourages you to live the Sabbath by dwelling continually in His presence and prioritizing mercy over mere rituals.

Shalom.

Title: Stay Under GOD's Covering

Text: Numbers 22-25.

GOD's covering is like walking under an umbrella, protecting us from life's storms and scorching heat. No one can uncover whom GOD has covered, except by the individual's own choice. When God covers you, affliction can only come when you deliberately expose yourself by stepping out of His covering.

What happens when you remain under GOD's covering?

1. The enemy becomes fearful of you (Numbers 22:2-3).

2. You become too mighty for the enemy (Numbers 22:6).

3. You become immune to enchantment and divination (Numbers 22:10-22, 23:17).

4. GOD fights for you behind the scenes (Numbers 22:19-34).

However, in Numbers 25, the Israelites foolishly stepped out of GOD's covering. By committing whoredom with Moab's daughters, sacrificing and worshiping Baal, they yoked themselves to the enemy, facing dire consequences. Scripture records that 24,000 Israelites perished, aside from those who fell by the sword. All this occurred after they abandoned GOD's protection.

Beloved, GOD beckons you back into His presence, where safety and rest await. Come back home!

Title: You Have to Know GOD
Text: Matthew 11:25-30

The people that know their GOD shall be strong, and do exploits. Knowing GOD is essential because to know Him is to know life. According to the passage, there are three revelations attached to knowing GOD. The first revelation that comes with knowing GOD is:

1. Knowing His Gracious Will (vs. 25-26)
GOD’s gracious will is for everyone to repent, accept the gift of eternal life, be saved from sin, and grow in the knowledge of His will. This truth is hidden from the proud and self-reliant but revealed to those with childlike trust and humility. To truly know GOD’s will, you must come to Him with a teachable spirit, for “GOD opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6b).

2. Having the SON (vs. 27)
Knowing GOD requires knowing the Son, for all things have been entrusted to Him. JESUS declared, “No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). Any revelation of the Father that does not come through JESUS is false. JESUS is the image of the invisible GOD (Colossians 1:15), and it takes GOD to reveal Himself. When a person comes to faith, JESUS discloses the Father to them.

3. Knowing Rest (vs. 28-30)
JESUS invites all who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest. He offers peace and satisfaction beyond human understanding. Eternal rest is found only in JESUS. Whether you are tired, troubled, confused, heartbroken, or lost, JESUS is calling you to find rest in Him.

Conclusion
If GOD had not chosen to reveal Himself, no one could ever find Him. Man cannot discover GOD without His help, but GOD has lovingly made Himself known. It is now up to us to receive and accept Him. Knowing GOD means embracing His will, receiving His Son, and experiencing His rest. Will you respond to His invitation today?

Title: Separate Yourself
Text: 1 Peter 1:1-2, 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

Often, when we discuss holiness, many Christians quickly conclude, "No one can be holy; no one can be perfect," forgetting that the Bible declares CHRIST has made us right with GOD. He made us pure, holy, and freed us from the nature of sin (1 Corinthians 1:30b).

No doubt, a non-regenerated man cannot separate himself to the LORD because he's still a lawful captive of sin, and he has not surrender to JESUS his deliverer.

But you, child of GOD, have the ability to separate yourself for the LORD because:
1. You've been chosen by GOD (1 Peter 1:1-2a).
2. You've been made holy by the SPIRIT of GOD (v. 2b).
3. You've been cleansed by the blood of JESUS (v. 2c).

Now that the LORD has graciously done this for you, it’s your responsibility to:
1. Separate yourself from every form of darkness (2 Corinthians 6:14). Do not join the wicked in doing evil.
2. Separate yourself from those who oppose GOD (v. 15).
3. Separate yourself from anything that defiles or corrupts GOD's temple your body.

This separation is a proof of your response to God, for:
1. GOD now lives inside of you (v. 16b).
2. GOD now walks through you (v. 16c - 17).
3. GOD is now your Father (v. 18).

Holiness is both a gift and a call to active separation from darkness, to a life of intimate relationship with the HOLY SPIRIT.

Title: In Times Like This
Text: Matthew 11:1-11

Just as John the Baptist was imprisoned, many find themselves in unfavorable circumstances. Numerous individuals face challenges that test and shake their faith. In such difficult times, what should be our response?"

1. Reflect on Past Testimonies (vs 2-3):
In times of trouble or hardship, remember what GOD has done in your life. Recall His promises and past actions. Verse 3 reminds us that this isn’t a time to question GOD or entertain fear but a moment to strengthen our faith by revisiting GOD's past works. GO BACK TO THE TESTIMONIES OF THE PAST.

2. Trust in GOD's Word, Not Your Own Understanding (vs 4-5):
In moments of confusion, return to the Word of GOD, which remains your reliable guide. John the Baptist may have anticipated a different kind of Messiah, but JESUS showed that GOD’s ways surpass human expectations. When Scripture is your anchor, it quells doubts that can weaken your faith. GO BACK TO WHAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS

3. Stay Aligned with Your Mandate (vs 7-10):
In difficult times, revisit your purpose. John the Baptist fulfilled his mission by preparing the way for the LORD (Isaiah 40:3). He may not have realized his assignment was complete. Had he decreased or remained within his calling, he might have avoided Herod’s notice. Check that your current path aligns with GOD's purpose. GO BACK TO YOUR MANDATE

4. Remember What GOD Says About You (vs 11a):
JESUS called John more than a prophet, reminding us of the way GOD values us. In prison, John was still esteemed above the prophets. Don’t let circumstances diminish your view of yourself, GOD’s perspective remains unchanged. GO BACK TO WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT YOU

5. Know Your Kingdom Identity (vs 11b):
As believers, we are not only messengers of the Kingdom but heirs of it. John and the prophets looked forward to the Messiah, while we live under the fulfilled promise. We are born of the SPIRIT, making us citizens of GOD’s Kingdom, with a status even greater than that of John and the prophets. KNOW THAT YOU'RE AN HEIR OF THE KINGDOM

Conclusion

In times of doubt or difficulty, return to the truths that anchor your faith: remember GOD’s past works, rely on His Word, stay aligned with your purpose, and hold fast to His view of you. Know that as a Kingdom citizen, you are more than a messenger; you are an heir, born of the SPIRIT. Embracing this identity strengthens you to live out your calling, equipped with the assurance of GOD’s faithfulness and His unwavering love.

Title: Biblical proof that GOD's will is Prosperity
Text: Mathew 18:23, Luke 16:2

Highlights from our service

Planning and Budgeting
A Christian who desires to walk in GOD's divine prosperity must have a budget. Financial literacy is key, so educate yourself about managing money. A budget helps allocate your income towards expenses, savings, and debt repayment. Live within your means and avoid unnecessary financial stress by planning wisely.

AVOID DEBTS
Avoid debts, as borrowing places you at the mercy of the lender. By living within your budget, you reduce the need to borrow. Debt can bring unnecessary pressure, so owe no one except the debt of love. If borrowing for business, evaluate the season and ensure you can repay promptly, exploring all other options first.

DEVELOP A SAVING CULTURE
Save for future challenges by using your active seasons wisely, as the ant does. Exercise self-control by avoiding frivolous spending and focus on your needs rather than wants. Practice delayed gratification, remembering that GOD gives both seed to sow and bread to eat. Be disciplined and develop a habit of saving at least 20% of your income.

Title: What the Bible Teaches About Prosperity.
Text: Proverbs 24:3-5, 4:5-8

WHAT WILL WISDOM DO?
Wisdom helps refine your gift. A gift, in its natural form, is often crude and is typically referred to as talent. When wisdom and education refine that gift, it becomes a skill. Seek knowledge even if it costs you, and pursue relationships with those who can impact your life. Study diligently on things that will help you reach your goals. If you're fixated on the price instead of the benefit, you'll remain stuck.

FIVE WAYS TO RECEIVE WISDOM

Be Teachable
Don’t be wise in your own eyes. No matter how much you know, always be open to learning more. Be inquisitive and strive to improve yourself. Master your area of specialization while learning a bit about other fields. Don't let stereotypes stop you from acquiring new knowledge.

Learn the Art of Meditation
Take time daily for quiet reflection. Whether it’s a morning walk or unwinding at the end of the day, make time to think through your plans and ideas. This isn’t worrying about the future, but analyzing your day and considering different perspectives. Great ideas often come from deep reflection.

Ask GOD for Wisdom
As a believer, you have access to the One who gives wisdom freely. Pray daily for fresh wisdom in everything you do. Remember, Solomon was set apart by his wisdom. "If any of you lacks wisdom, ask GOD, who gives generously..." (James 1:5-8).

Be Humble
Humility enables you to be teachable and to seek new knowledge. Stay humble, as pride will only keep you stuck in past achievements. GOD gives more grace to the humble, so keep learning, unlearning, and relearning. "GOD resists the proud but gives grace to the humble" (James 3:13).

Fear the LORD
Reverence for GOD leads to supernatural wisdom. Walk with the LORD and let Him guide you. Embrace the ministry of the HOLY SPIRIT, and your paths will be directed by divine wisdom.

Title: SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLES ABOUT PROSPERING GOD’S WAY 2
Text: Ecclesiastes 9:10
The Bible teaches to give your best in whatever you do. Strive to excel, whether you're a driver, farmer, teacher, or hairdresser.

Work hard and develop a strong work ethic; laziness has no place in a believer’s life. GOD's blessings come through diligent effort (Psalms 1:3; Deuteronomy 28:12).

Hard work pleases GOD (Colossians 3:23-24) and produces wealth (Proverbs 10:4). Laziness leads to poverty, so be responsible for your life and family (2 Thessalonians 3:7-10).

Hard work brings increase (Proverbs 22:29) and enables us to bless others (Ephesians 4:28). Diligence earns respect from others and brings GOD's favor (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12).
