Destroyers Of The Church Family II: The Spirit of Unforgiveness Part 1
The spirit of unforgiveness is a condition of the heart where a person refuses to release an offense, cancel a wrong, or let go of bitterness toward someone who has hurt or offended them. 1. Unforgiveness blocks the flow of God’s mercy, grace and Answers to Prayers. Unforgiveness which block the flow of the grace of God in your life. It will stop God from showing you mercy because there is unforgiveness as a result of you also not showing mercy. Only those who show mercy are permitted in the realm of the spirit to obtain mercy - Mathew 5:7, Mark 11:25-26. 2. Unforgiveness Withholds God’s Forgiveness. Jesus taught that our willingness to forgive others is directly connected to receiving forgiveness from God. Unforgiveness places a barrier between a believer and God - Mark 11:26, Mathew 6:14-15, Mathew 18:23-35. 3. Unforgiveness Imprisons the Heart. In the parable of the unforgiving servant, Jesus showed that unforgiveness leads to spiritual bondage - Mathew 18:34-35 Be blessed as you listen to this thought provoking and challenging teaching from our father!

Destroyers Of The Church Family I: The Spirit of Division and Hatred Part 2
3. Hatred Is a Work of the Flesh •Hatred is named among the works produced by the flesh. Hatred arises from the fallen nature when the flesh dominates a person’s life - Galatians 5:19-21. •Hatred is Opposes the Fruit of the Spirit. Hatred is the opposite of love hence it belongs to the works of the flesh, not the fruits of the Spirit - Galatians 5:22 •Hatred is the Product of Living in Darkness. Darkness in Scripture represents the sinful nature and separation from God. Hatred is thus, a carnal manifestation - 1 John 2:9-11. •Hatred leads to murder in the heart. Hatred is inward murder, showing it springs from the corrupt heart - 1 John 3:13-15. 4.

Destroyers Of The Church Family 1: The Spirit of Division and Hatred Part 1
1. The Spirit of Hatred •Hatred is the number one thing that destroys the family we are trying to build. •The spirit of hatred refers to a deep inner disposition that produces hostility, bitterness, malice, and a desire for harm toward others. •In Scripture, hatred is not merely an emotion; it is often treated as a spiritual condition of the heart that opposes the nature of God, because God’s nature is love. Leviticus 19:16-17 Hatred Opposes the Nature of God God calls believers to walk in love. Hatred is therefore a contradiction to the life of Christ in a believer. Hatred places a person in spiritual darkness. Mathew 5:43-44, 1 John 2:9, 1 John 4:20-21 Hatred Is Linked to Murder in the Heart Jesus showed that hatred is the root of violence and murder.

FOP VIII: Ten (10) Reasons Why the Church is a Family Part 5
10. The Church has been adopted into the family of heaven through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross (Romans 8:14-17).The Word that makes us part of God’s family is adoption, which is the Greek word “uihothesia” pronounced “hwee-oth-es-ee'-ah”. Here is the definition of adoption:•Adoption Speaks of Covenant Relationship.The same covenant relationship which God is pleased to establish between Himself and the Israelites in preference to all other nations. Adoption brings every single gentile into the same realm of covenant relationship with God. So adoption speaks of bringing the gentiles into the same covenant relationship God had with Israel not a different one. •Adoption is the Receiving of the DNA of God through indwelling of the Holy Spirit.What actually makes you a child of God is the infusion of the DNA of God into you through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit carries the DNA of God which is infused into you. The Old Testament covenant ends at the adoption through covenant but the New Testament believer goes a step further to receiving the very DNA of God which is the Holy Spirit.

Thanatos: The Loyalty of Leaders Part 3
5. The Disloyalty of Leaders leads to Greater Evil in the Ministry. When leaders become disloyal or unfaithful in the ministry, they become spiritual doors through which the enemy enters the church to divide us. A disloyal leader is a door for Satan. It is very dangerous for a leader to become disloyal or unfaithful to their responsibilities or the ministry and the MoG. When leaders become disloyal, they cause the blessings of the Lord for the ministry and the people to disappear because an accursed thing has entered the camp. Leaders who have become disloyal reject knowledge and so God also rejects them and destroys them — Hosea 4:1-3, 6 (NASB). 6. The more Disloyal Leaders multiply, the More Sin and All Kinds of Evil Multiply in the Church. The more leaders with influence in the church become disloyal or unfaithful to the vision of the ministry and their MoG, the more sin and evil multiplies because they will teach others to be disloyal like them. When Lucifer became disloyal as a leader, he influenced or convinced one-third of heaven’s host to follow in his disloyalty and evil multiplied in heaven until there was no war in the most peaceful place ever. And he was thrown down. Hosea 4:1-3, 7 (NASB), Rev. 12:3-4, 7-9. Be blessed as you listen to this thought provoking and challenging teaching from our father!

Thanatos: The Loyalty of Leaders Part 2
3. A leader who is Loyal is trustworthy and Reliable. In the ministry, only a leader who is faithful or loyal can be trusted or relied upon. Not many people in the church can be trusted but you must be determined to be one of the loyal or faithful ones in this church. Never betray your pastors, departmental heads and fellow members of this church - Proverbs 20:6 (NASB/NLT). 4. Leaders must be Loyal or Faithful all the Time. A leader whose loyalty is not stable or a leader who is not consistent in their duties or faithful to their responsibilities and their MoG can become anything substantial in the ministry. A leader must always stand by their God, the Man of God and his responsibilities in the house of God. They must perform their duties with excellence otherwise they will be cut off. Hosea 6:4-6 (NASB, NLT). Be blessed as you listen to this thought provoking and challenging teaching from our father!

Thanatos: The Loyalty of Leaders Part 1
Loyalty or faithfulness is a great requirement for all kinds of leadership in the house of God. Loyalty Is A Scripture-Based Teaching. 1. A ministry without Loyal or Faithful Leaders and Members Doesn’t have a Future. A leader's longevity and stability are maintained through integrity, trustworthiness, and loyal service to their people rather than merely by force —— Proverbs 20:28 (ERV). 2. A leader who Pursues Loyalty or Faithfulness in the Ministry will Obtain Life Righteousness and Honour. Any leader who follows after loyalty to God, His Pastor and the church as a whole and pursues righteousness in everything will find long life/eternal life and honour in addition to righteousness Proverbs 21:21 (NASB) Be blessed as you listen to this thought provoking and challenging teaching from our father!

FOP VII: Ten (10) Reasons Why the Church is a Family Part 4
The church is the Household of God. Household is defined as a the house and all its occupants regarded as a family or a unit.

So the anointed runs the family on God’s commands or instructions on His behalf (1 Timothy 3:15 NLT).The Church is the Family or Household of Faith (Galatians 6:9-10).The Church is not just any family, it is the family of God but most importantly the household of faith.

FOP V: Ten (10) Reasons Why the Church is a Family Part 2
5. The institution of Heaven is called Family and the institution of the church Here on Earth is also called Family. Both institutions or gatherings are not just the coming together of spirit beings or human beings but the intentional building of a family in heaven and on earth and both families are made possible by the obedience, sacrifice and blood of Jesus Christ. So both families are named after Him (Ephesians 3:14-15, Hebrews 12:1, 22-24). 6. God knows Every Family Member (2 Timothy 2:17-19). And God knows all His family members. God cares about every one of His family members. There is no member of God’s family that is forgotten or not known.

It is a household of believers or faith-filled people. And we are encouraged that when we get the opportunity we should do good to all such. However there two strategies the enemy uses to squeeze faith out of the house of God. Why has the church of God become so faithless in these end times? I tell you why, Satan is squeezing faith Hope of Christians through two strategic weapons; The Weapon of Weariness •Weariness is defined as extreme tiredness (fatigue). •Weariness is reluctance to see or experience any more of something. •Weariness is to be utterly spiritless or exhausted (completely used up). The Weapon of Fainting •Inability to rightly perceive sight, smell or sound. When you get to this stage you cannot spiritually smell, see or hear anything good coming your way out of the good things you do in the house of God or good you do to the people of God. •Feeling weak and dizzy and close to losing consciousness. When you faint, you become weak spiritually or discouraged from doing good and probably advised yourself to stop doing good in the house of God or to the people of God. This is how Satan squeeze faith, life and hope out of Christians that before their miracle comes for all the good things they are doing for the house God.

To discern the Lord’s body means to rightly recognize, understand, and treat with reverence what the body of the Lord represents, especially during the Lord’s Supper (Communion).1. Discern the Lord’s Body by Recognizing the Lord’s Sufferings Before and on the Cross. •To discern the Lord’s body is to recognize that the bread represents the physical body of Jesus Christ that was given and broken for our salvation.•To discern the Lord’s body is to acknowledge the beatings and the bruises on his body as part of what makes up the token of the Lord’s body. He was actually beaten. His body came under severe abuse and maltreatment all because of us. It is critical therefore to always remember the suffering of Christ whenever you approach his body.(Mathew 26:27 NLT, Isaiah 52:14 NLT, Isaiah 53:2, 5 NLT).2. Discern the Lord’s Body by Understanding that His body was given for the forgiveness of sins.The body of Jesus Christ was given to the world as a living sacrifice to bring about forgiveness of sins. Jesus needed to be beaten and crucified because without the shedding of blood, there is no remission or forgiveness of sins.(Hebrews 9:22 NLT, Isaiah 52:14 NLT).Be blessed as you listen to this thought provoking and challenging teaching from our father!

God’s System of Prosperity: The Giving Grace of the New Testament Church
The Generous Giving Grace of Christ 1. You know how rich Christ is but made himself poor for your sake so you through his poverty might become rich. How will this happen. You see when you dedicate your life to respond to the call of God, you have chosen a path of poverty in a way because how rich will a full-time minister be. But He is actually so rich in the spirit by reason of the covenant he has with God but God physically strip him of all his riches and makes him poor.

God’s System of Prosperity: Dissolving Doubts about Firstfruits & Tithes
Dissolving Doubts about Firstfruits and Tithes It refers to the process of removing fear, confusion, or uncertainty by proving false ideas wrong, clarifying complexities, or providing definitive answers and evidence. It involves moving from a state of hesitation or wavering to a state of confidence, assurance, and clarity. Firstfruit and Tithing is not part of Christianity. •First of all let me show you how the New Testament church begun. The people sold their properties and anything valuable in their possessions so there will be no need in the church. The New Testament church gave more than firstfruit and much more than tithes. They gave their lives and their possessions as well. There was literally nothing left to give. And even if they still had tithe and firstfruits to give they wouldn’t give it to the Apostles? They would have taken it to the temple and given to the priests according to the scriptures. Salvation in its original form is free but in today’s world salvation cost money (Acts 2:41-45, Acts 4:32, 34-37, Acts 5:1-6) Be blessed as you listen to this thought provoking and challenging teaching from our father!

God’s System of Prosperity: The Wisdom of Firstfruit Pt. 1
The Wisdom of Firstfruits The Wisdom of God is that the Blessing of Abraham comes upon the Gentiles by inclusion into the Covenant of Abraham. The Scriptures describe gentiles or Christianity as an inclusion not as a separate covenant, but as a "grafting in" to the existing promises made to Israel, making them fellow heirs through faith in Jesus Christ. Grace is the Propeller of Works but Faith is the Producer of Works. Paul uses the powerful metaphor of an olive tree to explain how Gentiles are included. The natural branches (unbelieving Israel) were broken off, and wild branches (Gentiles) were "grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree". This passage emphasizes that Gentiles do not replace Israel but share in the same spiritual nourishment from the root (the Abrahamic promises).

Jesus Christ didn’t come to abolish the Law of Moses or the writings of the Prophets like some preachers today who want to please men and look credible before men are teaching and some Christians are believing because of their disobedience. 2. Let me then show you why Jesus Christ came. Jesus came to fulfil or accomplish the Law. And this doesn’t mean rendered irrelevant or non-applicable, exempted or finished doing it as it relates to its teachings and practices completely like many pastors teach and Christians believe. 3. What that word accomplish rather means is that, He came to validate, establish and authenticate the Old Testament. So Jesus Christ is the proof that the Old Testament is genuine, fit for purpose and th true word of God and not the thinking of men as many claim. Jesus Christ proved that the scriptures were indeed inspired by God through holy men of God. Stop all these arguments about firstfruits, tithes and offerings, its rebellion because how else will the church run. 4. God’s system of prosperity doesn’t work alone but principally covenant practice coupled with other principles that work together to make a Christian prosperous. Covenant Practices; •Firstfruits •Tithing •Free will Offering •Vows or Sacrificial Giving •Generous and Cheerful Giving Be blessed as you listen to this thought provoking and challenging teaching from our father!

Christmas Service - A Child is Born But a Son is Given
This Christmas I want you to carefully consider your state in the Lord whether you are a child or a son. A child is born, you don’t have to do anything to be a child. But once you are born, you have to strife to become a son or a daughter. Sonship is a stage of responsibility. Child is a young human being below the age of puberty or maturity or below the legal age of majority or maturity. Son connotes maturity or coming of age as it relates to your identity or who you are in God. When God desires to bless mankind, He gave mankind a man in the person of Jesus Christ. God’s greatest blessing to a man will always be a man. Be blessed as you listen to this thought provoking message from our father!

Earthly, Sensual or Devilish/Demonic Wisdom - James 3:14-16 This is the kind of wisdom that doesn’t come from God but is of the world.

Adonizedek IV: Consequences or Dangers of Self Righteousness
Self-righteousness can lead to strained relationships, as it fosters a judgmental and unforgiving attitude that creates conflict and resentment. SEVEN DANGERS OR CONSEQUENCES OF SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS 1. You will Establish your own Order of Righteousness. Self-righteousness is not true righteousness, it is a demonic form of righteousness. And it does not lead to a transformed life that reflects God's character. There are Christians who walk about establishing their own order of righteousness according to what they think is right (Romans 10:1-3). 2. Separation from God Self-righteousness will cut you off from God completely. Whenever you disobey God’s word you have left the righteousness of God to walk in your own righteousness and the danger is that, you are completely cut off or separated from God (Genesis 3:8-13, 22-24, Genesis 4:8-16, Colossians 1:21).

Adonizedek III: Strive for God’s Righteousness
Attaining God's order of righteousness involves a two-fold process; 1. Justification The process of justification begins with salvation. The moment you accept Jesus Christ into your life, you are justified by His blood because your sins get forgiven (Romans 10:9-10). Justification is simply being declared righteous by God through faith in the finished works on the cross by Jesus Christ (Romans 3:22-27, Romans 5:6-9). But that’s not all, after being justified, you must work on sanctification. Otherwise you cannot attain God’s order of righteousness. 2. Sanctification The action or process of making something holy or righteous. Blessed as you listen to this thought provoking and message from our father!
