We wrap up our theme of 'Lessons In Spiritual Warfare' with a word from Ps. Emmanuel Mbakwe who reminds us that our battles go beyond what we see, “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood.” From Ephesians 6, we’re called to recognise the reality of spiritual warfare, understand the nature of the enemy, and stand firm using the weapons God has given us.Put on the full armour, stay vigilant, and fight from a place of truth, faith, and prayer because victory is already secured in Christ.📖 Key Scriptures: Ephesians 6:12–18 | 2 Corinthians 10:4–6 | 1 Peter 5:8

Our series continues with a word from Elder Kola Odesesan who calls on us to spiritual alertness, warning that the enemy works subtly in moments of distraction and weakness.

This week, Deaconess Gbemi Adekoya teaches on the importance of spiritual vigilance, reminding us that we are not ignorant of the enemy’s devices. Through Scripture, we’re called to stay alert, guard our hearts and minds, and stand firm using the full armour of God. Victory is already ours, but we must remain watchful, grounded in truth, and led by the Spirit.

Pastor Abraham Sackey preaches on not just knowing Jesus as the Bread of Life, but truly partaking in Him. Through John 6, we’re reminded that Christ is our source of eternal life, provision, and satisfaction and as believers, we are called to carry and share that same life with others.This message challenges us to move beyond surface faith, to daily depend on Christ, walk in bold faith, and become vessels through which He reaches a hungry world.

Our Good Friday service saw Pastor Ade Abiodun preach from John 6 on Jesus as the true Bread of Life. While physical bread sustains for a moment, only Christ satisfies eternally. He offers life, purpose, and righteousness to all who believe.This message is a call to move beyond the temporary and place full faith in Jesus, the only One who truly satisfies and gives everlasting life.

Drawing from Ephesians 6:13, Pastor Nigel Bainbridge preaches on the power of standing firm in times of spiritual warfare. Standing isn’t passive, it’s a powerful act of faith, trusting God to fight while we remain rooted in Him.When the day of evil comes, don’t retreat. Stand.

Pastor George Udoh preaches on the power of resisting the devil through submission to God. Drawing from James 4:7, we’re reminded that true spiritual authority flows from alignment with God and when we stand firm in faith, the enemy must flee.

This week, we continue on our theme for March with a word titled 'Test The Spirits'. Deaconess Aiyere preaches from 1 John 4 on the importance of spiritual discernment. In a world full of spiritual voices, believers are called to test every spirit and hold firmly to the truth of Christ.The message also highlights the vital role of families, especially mothers, in guiding the next generation in truth.

This week, Pastor Bajomo teaches on why doctrine matters in the battle for our faith. As Scripture warns that some will depart from the faith through deceiving spirits, believers must remain grounded in the truth of God’s Word to discern error and stand firm in Christ.Be reminded that because of the finished work of Jesus, we have victory and through sound doctrine we are equipped to resist deception and walk in truth.Key Scriptures: 1 Timothy 4:1 | Romans 8:31 | Colossians 2:15 | 2 Corinthians 10:4–5

We begin our new sermon theme for March titled 'Lessons in Spiritual Warfare' with a powerful word from Pastor Sackey. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 2:11, we are reminded to stay spiritually alert and discerning. The enemy seeks advantage, but through prayer, humility, obedience, and submission to God, we are equipped to resist and stand firm.We do not fight in the flesh for our victory is in Christ.

This message was shared by brother Deji Adesina at our Saturday morning prayer meeting on 21.02.26.Key bible verses: Matthew 18:19-20, Acts 1:14, Acts 4:31, 2 Chron 7:14, Ps 133:1, Acts 2:46-47

We wrap up February's theme 'Let Us Continue to Pray Steadfastly' with a word from Pastor Mbakwe. He delves into the foundation of apostolic authority and the power of divine revelation. True authority in the Kingdom is not positional - it flows from revelation of Christ and alignment with His purpose. When God reveals His will, He also releases the grace and authority to walk in it.

Drawing from Philippians 1, Elder Aiyere explores how joy in prayer flows from two powerful dimensions - intimacy with God and partnership with His people. Even in persecution and hardship, Paul prayed with joy because his confidence was rooted in relationship, communion, and Kingdom collaboration. True joy in prayer is not circumstantial; it is relational.

In this message, Elder Oguntonade challenges us to move beyond casual prayer into labouring prayer — prayer that is intentional, persistent, and costly. Through the example of Epaphras, we are reminded that true spiritual maturity is formed in the secret place, where believers contend, intercede, and remain steadfast until God’s will is fully accomplished.

Our theme for February builds on last month's with a word preached on 'Let Us Continue to Pray Steadfastly'. Pastor Sackey preaches a call to remain unwavering and consistent in prayer - this message reminds us that prayer is not an occasional activity but a steadfast lifestyle. As we pray persistently and in the Spirit, we deepen our fellowship with God and grow in spiritual strength and maturity.

Reverend Ajibola draws from James 5 in this message - we are reminded how to respond to life’s circumstances through prayer, praise, faith, and responsibility. Whether facing suffering, sickness, or joy, we are reminded that prayer is central, faith must be active, and God ultimately has the final say in healing and restoration.

Deaconess Aiyere continues this month's theme on a word titled 'When You Pray, Go Into Your Room, Dwelling in the Secret Place'. It's call to rediscover the secret place of prayer where intimacy with God is formed. We are remindedthat true prayer is not performance but relationship; this is shutting out distractions, meeting with the Father in secret, and being transformed from the inside out. The greatest reward of prayer is God Himself.

We continue January's theme of 'Let Us Pray' with an encouraging word from Pastor Bajomo who preaches a timely reminder of the power and balance of Spirit-led prayer and thoughtful, intentional prayer. This message calls believers to engage both heart and mind - praying God’s will, growing spiritually, and deepening our relationship with Him through prayer that is alive, ordered, and effective.

Our Christmas Day 2025 sermon is preached by Pastor Sackey who speaks on 'The Christ of Christmas - Come Let Us Adore Him'. We reflect on Jesus Christ, the promised Son, Immanuel, God with us. This sermon declares the timeless truth of Christ’s birth and invites us into a lifelong response of adoration, worship, and obedience. Far from myth or tradition, the incarnation is God entering human history in a particular time and place for the salvation of all. As we behold the One born in a manger and proclaimed by Scripture, we are called afresh to honour Him with our lives. Come, let us adore Him.

A prophetic declaration released as we entered the New Year.

In our first Sunday service of the year, we are powerfully called to return to steadfast, Spirit-led prayer. This message reminds us that prayer is the source of Christian power and spiritual order, calling believers to lift up holy hands without wrath or doubt. As we recover a life of prayer, the Holy Spirit ignites us again with spontaneous, fervent prayer that sustains the Church and advances God’s Kingdom.

Reverend Ajibola delivers an encouraging sermon in our last Sunday of the year, with the title of 'I Wish It Could Always Be Christmas'. This message reminds us that Christmas is more than a season - it is the foundation of our salvation. Through the birth of Jesus, God brought light into darkness and made it possible for believers to experience His love, joy, peace, hope, and assurance daily. In Christ, the blessings of Christmas are not temporary but meant to be lived out every day.

This week's sermon is delivered by Pastor Mbakwe who preaches on this month's subtheme of 'They Presented Gifts: Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh'.This Christmas message reflects on the worship of the wise men and challenges us to examine the heart and cost of our worship. True worship is intentional, reverent, and sacrificial - recognising the worth of Jesus the King. As we come before Him, the question remains: what are we bringing to the King?

Deaconess Adekoya preaches on the topic of 'The Christmas Story - Full of Redemptive Truth'. The meaning of Christmas is explored, beyond tradition and celebration. From humanity’s fall to God’s redemptive plan fulfilled in Jesus Christ, we are reminded that Christmas is the glorious reality of God entering human history to bring salvation, hope, peace, and renewal. Christmas tells the story of God’s love, redemption, and His desire to restore humanity through Christ. HALLELUJAH!

We believe that The Lord still speaks through human agents to bring comfort and build up the Church.Listen to what was said and pray about it.

We continue our theme of 'Be Safe, Remind Them of These Things' with a word revsiting the topic of 'The God-Dependent Christian'. This message reminds us that all effort is empty without God at the centre. True success comes from dependence on Him; seeking His wisdom, aligning with His will, and trusting His sufficiency. A God-dependent life is one built, protected, and sustained by the Master Builder Himself.

Elder Aiyere speaks on 'Mindset of the Owner' - we've been called to shift from passive Christianity to active ownership. True service means taking responsibility for God’s work with excellence, integrity, and love just as Jesus did. When we serve with an ownership mindset, God is honoured, His Kingdom advances, families grow stronger, the church becomes healthier, and society is transformed.

This week's sermon continues on our theme with a sermon from Deaconness Aiyere, revisiting 'Accepted to Offer Acceptable Service'. We are accepted by grace, not by our works. From that place of acceptance, we are called to serve God acceptably, beginning in our homes. This message reminds us that worship starts in daily life — through love, humility, and faithful service to those closest to us.

We continue our theme of 'Be Safe, Remind Them of These Things' in November with an encouraging word from Pastor Sackey who speaks on 'The Learned Christian'. A call to move beyond surface-level Christianity and grow as true disciples who learn from Christ daily. The learned Christian is rooted in the Word, shaped by obedience, and steadily growing in grace — becoming more like Jesus in every season of life.

Our sermon to wrap up the month of October covers the topic of 'Grace Matters'. Pastor Udoh speaks on how grace is more than a concept — it’s the active power of God at work in our lives. It saves, sustains, restores, and empowers us to live, love, and serve. We are who we are by His grace — unearned, unshakable, and unstoppable.

Reminding someone of something can have many benefits depending on the context. a.  A consistent reminder helps form routines, reinforces and helps   retain information.b.  People are more likely to complete tasks when reminded.c.  A reminder reduces mistakes and forgetfulness, especially for   important or time-sensitive matters.

Our preaching theme 'Be Safe, Remind Them of These Things' continues with a word from our esteemed Pastor Mbakwe. We are reminded that we were never meant to do life alone. True peace and fruitfulness come from total dependence on God; staying connected to the Vine, seeking His guidance, walking humbly, and trusting Him completely.

Pastor Sackey delivers an impactful word on Ownership Matters to kick off the series for this month which is 'Be Safe, Remind Them of These Things'. We are called to own our faith, our lives, and the ministry — not as hirelings, but as true stewards who protect what God has entrusted to us.

We wrap up our series 'Divine Directives & Expectation' with a powerful word from Elder Aiyere who preached on 'How I Fight My Battles of Service'. Using Romans 12, we are reminded that we are called to offer our bodies as living sacrifices in addition to providing practical steps on effective service.

This week's sermon continues on the theme of 'Empowered to Confront & Conquer Shame' with a reminder that we can trade our shame for the joy in the Lord.Pastor George Udoh explores the 'divine exchange' which refers to the transaction that took place through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It refers to the idea that Jesus took upon Himself the consequences of human sin, and in return, believers receive the benefits of His righteousness and relationship with God.​

'Empowered to Confront & Conquer Shame' was this week's sermon title, a Pastor Sackey delivers an impactful message and addresses those who employ shame as a weapon, those who are imprisoned by shame and those who have the divine mandate to work along Christ in His mission statement. We are reminded that it is our birthright to be empowered through the name of Jesus, and to not be held down by shame.

This week's sermon titled 'Breaking the Cycle & Shadow of Shame' aims to bring to an end the weaponisation of shame, both in and outside of the church. Drawing from biblical examples, Hannah in 1 Samuel 1 and Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4, both called on God to end their cycle of shame.

This week's sermon titled 'Shame Replaced with Double Honour' encourages us to use God's Word to remind and encourage us in our battles against shame. Drawing from Isaiah 61:7, the Lord promises us double honour and joy which we must lean on.

A call to God's people to know the fulness of life by getting rid of shame and breaking the chains of shame.
