MEN'S SUPER SUNDAY
23 July 2023


Theme: The Wise Man

Minister: Daddy Kingsley N.
Topic: THE MIDNIGHT
Text: Matthew 25:1–13

Quickly, the word of the Lord coming to you, coming to me this hour is from Matt. 25:1–13; it says: "[1] Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. [2] And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. [3] They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: [4] But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. [5] While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. [6] And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. [7] Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. [8] And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. [9] But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. [10] And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. [11] Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. [12] But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. [13] Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh."

Tell somebody, there is midnight coming!

The midnight is a universal experience for all mankind. On our own continent, we have varying timeframes, but this midnight shall be universal.

What is this midnight? The midnight is an experience; it is a time when those who are seen being busy during the daytime will be seeing lifeless. When you're asleep and your energy is no longer there, that is the midnight experience. Such a time will come in the life of every man, but the message here today is that you have to prepare for it before it's danger comes.

Today's message is in line with the concluding RMF Provincial Convention, tagged THE WISE MAN. Who is the man here? They are regular believers and churchgoers all over the world, but the wise there make the difference—your preparation.

Look around you, people are now turning into emergency believers, they pray only when they have a problem, but as a wise man, do you prepare in prayer even before emergency times? Ten virgins were called, just like all men on Earth, but a midnight will come that will call forth and test your preparedness. Without preparation, midnight will come (Matt. 14:25).

Rev. 2:5, the lamp in the passage where we read represents a part of us in faith; your salvation will be in jeopardy if you're not prepared, Phil. 2:12. As believers, we must hold unto our salvation because the midnight experience will come and will not give you the time to fast, to pray, or to worship. How prepared you are today and now will guarantee your passage to eternal glory because it is what you work for that will sustain you.

The oil in the passage is the spirit of God (Rom. 8:14). Are you a believer or have you been saved, but the spirit of God is not in you? You can be saved, and the spirit of God is not yet activated in you (Matt. 24:12); it is this spirit that will sustain you at midnight, just grow more in the word of God.

The church is now a fun place for worldly things; if they take away that fun, will you still remain in the church for things of the spirit? Now that you have the strength to serve, change your ways and pursue God because the midnight comes when no man can work, Eph. 12:1.

I pray that everyone of us here will be fully prepared for the midnight in Jesus name.

The bible says before the virgins returned, the bridegroom had already arrived and shut the door; fools end up as victims, looking out for men to help them, but only the wise prepare for midnight. Are you just a churchgoer that partakes in services for physical solutions? Are you the type that goes to fit in, finds faults or passes criticism and judgment?

Bow down your heads:
◽Say Father; help me. Help me to prepare for when the midnight cometh.
◽Say Father; whatever is in me that is classifying me among the foolish, please reorganize my life.
◽Say Father; let me not be a victim of the midnight experience.

Topic: NEVER GIVE UP
Text: Hebrews 12:1-2

Today we are going to be looking at the topic NEVER GIVE Up—It Is Not Over. In recent times, a lot of things have been happening, but all in all, don't give up. Our bible passage is going to be from Heb. 12:1-2 and it says: "[1] Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, [2] Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

The word I want us to pick out and focus on today is patience. In recent times, patience has been critically important to what you and I need to go through this life. What is that thing you're going through? Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith, but with patience.

The world is in a state of crisis right now; there are more and more people turning away from God, and because of this, they have given up.

▫The word of God is saying to you and me today: never give up! Be patient.

In order to grow, what are some of the things you need to throw away?
1. Eavesdropping: this means to hear or give hearing to other people's conversations. It is a situation where you listen to and take the sayings of other people into consideration instead of yourself and God; if you fail this, you'll keep going astray.

2. Complaints: this involves discussing your issues with others. When you develop the habit of discussing your issues without looking for a solution from God, you know you have to throw it away.

3. Mockery: we do this even without knowing; it just indicates that God is not capable of dealing with our situation. Also avoid destiny killers, people who have given up on you and will see that nothing good comes out of you; they can make you mock God.

4. Lack of belief: believing in God is faith, and faith is patience; when you believe in God, He will make all things possible.

5. Avoid laziness: In our last meeting here on Sunday, we talked about how a little amount of cash can start a business. You can start doing something, even something small. In recent times, people have turned into corporate beggars. Don't be like that.

6. Unrealistic goals: never set targets that are unachievable; try to look at your goal plans again and let them be realistic plans.

7. Avoid borrowing and have patience.

In Esther 4, Queen Esther was a woman of great patience. She was patient in waiting on the Lord and in His divine guidance in knowing how to help her people, even when it seemed like all hopes were lost, she persevered and remained faithful. In the end, she was able to save her people from destruction.

Things to do in order not to give up;
1. Read and study the word of God - Josh. 1:8
2. Pray, pray and pray until something happens
3. Have faith in God
4. Trust yourself, and trust in God

What are you looking for that God cannot provide for you? Is it money, the fruit of the womb, stability, or growth? Focus on Him daily and cry unto Him every hour because His word has declared your victory already. Remember, no man can save you but only God.

Rise up let us pray:
▪Tell Him thank you for being a good Father!

YOUTH SUPER SUNDAY
9th July, 2023



Minister: Sister Grace Godwin
Topic: FAITH-FRUITS
Text: Hebrews 11:1–6

[1] Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [6] But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

If you diligently seek God, that's when you'll see faith at work.

What is faith? Faith is the assurance and confidence that what we hope for will actually happen. When we say a faith is fruitful, it's when it never gives up on its belief, so this brings up the question, do we have faith? How strong is our faith? Is it when the breeze blows that you start being negative or fall by the wayside? I want you to look at your faith again today.

I want us to use the case of Ruth from Ruth 1:1–22. Ruth, Orpah and their mother-in-law Naomi all lost their husbands, and things got worse for them even to eat. This made Naomi petition her daughters-in-law to return to their father's house or remain on their own in Moab so she could go out alone to find help since survival was now difficult for them. Orpah agreed to stay back, but Ruth refused, saying she must go with Naomi no matter where she goes. The bible said two people had similar options (Ruth and Orpah), but only one person decided to persevere, to strife and to retain her faith no matter the situation they were going through.

Ruth said, 'in the midst of this whole turbulence, trials, challenges and blessings, I will be with you'. This is practical faith on display. In faith there is patience; you can't claim to have faith without having patience, endurance, and perseverance, just like the case with Abraham, who got an everlasting blessing from the Lord.

1Cor. 15:58: I want to urge everybody today to be steadfast in the faith because everybody has their own reward. At the appointed time, your blessings will arise.

There are other cases with similar experiences and results, like Daniel (Dan. 1:8, 2Tim. 1:12), where the Bible says he chose in his heart not to satisfy himself with the portion of the King's meat. What about the three Hebrew boys? They stood their faith never to bow to a strange God (Dan. 3:17). No matter what you face, keep hope alive, keep believing in God, and I see Him changing lives here in Jesus name.

Truth be told, if those circumstances do not occur, how do you test your faith? How do you know how strong your mindset and belief are towards God? If the Lord did it for Hannah, Sarah and Job, He too can do it for you.

It is when you commit your life and situation to God that He can secure and flourish it for you. As a youth, you may have so many questions about life and your experiences, but do you think God can forsake you? God does not owe any man anything; He uses what you have to grant you your desired multiplication.

Don't complain, stay focused and act just as Ruth did, she believed and stayed strong in her faith. Let this be your confession today until that which God promised is accomplished. Never relent in faith; believe God, and it will be counted to you in righteousness.

Shall we rise to our feet and thank the Lord for this opportunity and for this privilege to believe again;
°Say Father, help and encourage me as a youth to be at the center of your will.

°Say Father, uphold me with your right hand that the wind of the word shall not blow me away.

MEN'S SUPER SUNDAY
25th June, 2023



Minister: Daddy Praise Obaje
Topic: KNOWING WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST - Part Two
Text: 1Peter 2:1-10

We are going to be looking at the topic 'Knowing Who You Are In Christ' the part 2 of what we started last Super Men's Sunday. Let's open our Bible to 1Pet. 2:1;4&9-10 "[1] Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, [4] To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, [9] But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. [10] Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy."

Glory to God, hallelujah!

When preparing this message last night, it was difficult for me because I attended a vigil and came back with some pains, this morning I was still dizzy but I've made a promise that anything that concerns God I will never joke with it, thanks be to God I'm strong now.

This is who you are in Christ, the confidence you have in Him makes you whom you are. Being on the solid rock of Christ, knowing yourself in Christ and being a Christian is beyond the physical (Eph. 6:12), so if you know who you are in Christ, you will never choose to sit on the fence.

At times, the things of life can drag you but make sure you're always in Christ. 1Cor. 15:56, positioning yourself in a lifestyle of sin can stop you from knowing Christ the way you should. Sin from what we know is beyond the picture we have, Gal. 5:19. When you call yourself a Christian and your faith is looking towards heaven, then your foundation is sure, it is on a solid rock which is Jesus.

If you want to be fine in life, then you must hold Jesus!

If you don't connect yourself as a Christian to anything Christ on earth, then you're a failure, it is better you go and join one of those cults; don't be on the neutral because both you and your generation can pay for it dearly.

Heb. 11:1&6; knowing Jesus, working with Him, and having Him in your life entails your faith; it takes Jesus to put you on a straight path in life although life's challenges will come but with Jesus you will be okay.

I don't have much message today, it's just to know your path in life, there are so much challenges but it is those who are in Christ that will have a shock absorber to face it all. It takes faith for you to move to your expected goal, it is not easy to serve God, it only requires your definition of Him in your life to get results.

Know Jesus, know yourself in Him! We all sin but how soon do you recognise Him when you go off track makes the difference.

•Let's bow down our heads as we have a reflection of our lives. Talk to Jesus to help you in amending your ways again.

YOUTH SUPER SUNDAY
TRAINING WEEKEND 2023



Minister: Bro. Dennis Inya
Topic: GRATEFULNESS: AN ACT OF A TEACHABLE HEART
Text: Luke 17:12-19

This Training Weekend started from thursday, we had a very wonderful session where we talked about thanksgiving. There are so many benefits in thanking God, in all the things we learn from the bible, if we put them to daily use, this life will be better off. For example: if you give something to someone and the person comes back to appreciate you, you will be moved to do more for that person, same it is with our God.

Thanksgiving is not negotiable for we believers, it is indispensable.

That Thursday, we talked about what thanksgiving is, why we give thanks, the contents of thanksgiving and its benefits but today we'll be talking about gratefulness: an act of a teachable heart and we'll be reading from Luke 17:12-19.

An unteachable heart is blinded (Eph 4:18). This explains why it is ignorant, lacking proper knowledge and understanding. The blinded heart cannot see as it ought to see. Its perception will be negative or absurd. It is, therefore, thoughtless and becomes ungrateful. Gratefulness can only be seen in someone whose heart is opened to scriptural truths. (Eph. 4:21)

1. WE OUGHT TO LEARN GRATEFULNESS FROM THE BEGINNING
The word of God is full of examples and teachings on thankfulness. If any child of God fails to imbibe that attitude, it simply implies he has refused to learn – Gen. 4:3-8, Gen. 8:18-22, 1Kng. 3:3-5, Lev. 22:29, Psa. 100:4.

God demands praise, worship, gifts, adoration, and testimonies as acts of gratitude. This He has said in His word repeatedly - Phil. 4:6, Col. 2:7, Psa. 92:1, Psa. 69:30, Psa. 72:13, Isa. 42:8.

Everyone who is thankful receives greater visitation and blessings. Dan. 2:23, 1Kng. 3:5, Gen. 9:1-3, Luk. 17:17-109.

Understanding the very essence of gratefulness is enough to spur a man into a life of endless thankfulness to God but many of us still murmur and complain as the wilderness church did. It simply implies such people have been unteachable – Psa. 57:7, Psa. 106:1, Psa. 108:1, Heb. 13:15.

2. IT IS DANGEROUS TO HABOUR UNGRATEFULNESS OF HEART
The evidence of such heart is murmurings and complaining to God and men. The people who refused to learn from the past and followed the path of ingratitude perished in the wilderness. These things are for our examples - Num. 14:21-24, 1Cor. 10:10, Phil. 2:4.

CONCLUSION: The teachable heart is always grateful. It is a wise heart, an understanding heart, a thoughtful heart and an illuminated heart. The blinded heart is ungrateful, thoughtless and selfish - Jude 1:16. The path of the ingrate is hard while gratefulness itself is a medicine that heals depression. Prov. 17:22.

11/06/2023

We wish you all a delighted birthday and all the best this year. We pray that your deepest desires come true in Jesus name. Amen!
