Sermon Notes: The Dominion Mandate Of The Woman Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28, Genesis 2:18, Proverbs 31. I. The Co-Equal Mandate Genesis 1:27-28: God created man in His own image—male and female. He blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply... and have dominion." Dominion is Gender-Neutral: The authority to rule over the earth was not given to the man alone. Women carry the same "Dominion DNA" and creative capacity as men. Identity in Christ: A woman’s value is first found in her creation in the image of God, not her marital status or societal role. II. Redefining the "Helper" (Ezer) The Hebrew Meaning of "Help Meet": The word Ezer used in Genesis 2:18 is the same word used to describe God as our "Helper" (Psalm 121:1-2). Not a Subordinate, but a Strength: A helper is not someone who is less capable; rather, they are someone who possesses the specific strength or resources that are currently missing. Strategic Partnership: The woman was created to bring completion and "surround" the man with wisdom, support, and spiritual insight to ensure the divine purpose is achieved. III. The Power of Influence and "Building" The Architect of the Home: "The wise woman builds her house" (Proverbs 14:1). Rev. Okronipa stresses that a woman’s influence can either establish or dismantle a legacy. Spiritual Intuition: Women are often gifted with a unique spiritual sensitivity and discernment that is vital for protecting the family and the church from the enemy’s tactics. Maternal Dominion: Dominion is expressed through nurturing, teaching, and shaping the next generation of leaders. IV. Overcoming Cultural and Religious Limitations Breaking the "Silence": The preacher addresses historical misinterpretations of scripture used to suppress women's voices, noting that in Christ, "there is neither male nor female" regarding spiritual inheritance (Galatians 3:28). The Deborah Anointing: Just as Deborah was a judge, prophetess, and mother in Israel, modern women are called to lead in professional, spiritual, and social spheres. Resisting Inferiority: A woman must refuse to see herself as "second-class." If God has called her to a task, He has authorized her to lead in it. V. Conclusion: Walking in Full Authority Fruitfulness: Women are called to be productive in their careers, businesses, and ministries. Multiplication: Taking what is small and making it great through the power of the Holy Spirit. Subduing: Taking authority over chaos and bringing the order of the Kingdom of God into every environment they enter. Closing Prayer/Declaration: "I declare that I am a woman of dominion. I am not an afterthought; I am a divine necessity. I walk in the authority given to me by God to build, to fruitify, and to rule. I break every limitation off my life and step into my full mandate in Jesus' name. Amen."

Sermon Notes: The Perception of Love Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa  Main Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 14:1, Galatians 5:6, Mark 11:23-25, 1 Peter 3:8-12. I. The Purpose of the Church A Place for Healing: The church is meant for "offended" and "weak" people seeking God's help. Believers must be patient with one another's frailties. The Problem of Offense: Satan uses offense as leverage to break down churches. Leaving a church due to a personal hurt is often a sign of spiritual immaturity and selfishness. Spiritual Training: Being offended serves as a test to see how far your "love life" has actually developed. II. The Supernatural Power of Love (Agape) Faith’s Engine: According to Galatians 5:6, faith is "activated, energized, and expressed" through love. Without love, faith for miracles or breakthroughs will eventually shut down. Beyond Human Sentiment: While human love (Storge, Philia, Eros) is powerful, Agape is the "God-kind" of love that allows a believer to sacrifice for others and forgive even the deepest wrongs. Miracles through Love: Love has the power to cast out demons and bring healing where standard spiritual warfare might struggle. III. The Doctrine and Discipline of Forgiveness Unforgiveness as Poison: Holding onto a grudge is described as "drinking poison and expecting the other person to die". Blocked Prayers: Mark 11:25 teaches that before you pray for a mountain to move, you must first forgive anyone you have something against. No Conditional Forgiveness: Believers shouldn't wait for an apology to forgive. Forgiveness is a spiritual decision that reopens the door to God's favor. IV. Divine Protection and Long Life The "Eyes of the Lord": 1 Peter 3 promises that those who seek peace, avoid evil speech, and walk in love will enjoy divine protection and "good days". Escaping Satanic Traps: Walking in love keeps spiritual doors closed to the enemy. Bitterness often provides a foothold for demonic operations and physical sickness. V. Practical Application: How to Love Tenderheartedness: Replace hard-heartedness and stubbornness with a soft, easily entreated spirit. Courtesy and Respect: Love is evidenced in simple courtesy and how we treat those "below" us in social or spiritual status. Protecting Others: Love seeks to protect and cover the reputations of others rather than exposing their mistakes. Closing Challenge: Identify someone who has treated you unfairly and make the decision to bless them and pray for their welfare, thereby aligning your heart with the nature of God.

Sermon Notes: The Practice of Love: The Power for Victory  Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa   Main Scripture Focus: Galatians 5:6, Mark 11:23-25, 1 Peter 3:8-12, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. I. Love: The Engine of Faith The Activation of Power: Faith is not a standalone force; it is "activated, energized, and expressed" through love. The Cause of Stagnation: If your confessions of Scripture are not producing results, check your love walk. Bitterness and unforgiveness act as spiritual blockades to miracles. Maturity Over Gifting: The greatest measurement of spiritual growth is not the intensity of your tongues or the accuracy of a prophecy, but the depth of your love for others. II. The Danger of Offense and the "Gates of Hell" The Trap of Offense: Satan often uses offense as leverage to fight against the church. When you decide to leave a church or stop serving because of an offense, you are falling into a demonic snare. A "Hospital" Mindset: The church is not a place for perfect people; it is a place for the "sick, weak, and offended" looking for healing. We must accommodate each other's frailties. Selfishness in Conflict: Most offenses in the body of Christ are rooted in self-centeredness—being more concerned with one's own feelings than the unity of the body. III. Love as Divine Protection The Power of Forgiveness: Forgiveness is a spiritual decision, not an emotion. When you forgive, you close the doors that allow the enemy access to your life. The Consequences of Bitterness: Bitterness can cause physical sickness and spiritual blindness, leading a person to "not know where they are going". The "Eyes of the Lord": According to 1 Peter 3, long life, "good days," and divine protection are promised to those who keep their tongues from evil and seek peace. IV. Practical Love in Action The sermon outlines specific traits of Agape love that believers must practice: Suffering Long: Enduring difficult people with patience. Being Kind: actively seeking the welfare and happiness of others. Not Boasting or Being Proud: Operating without a sense of superiority or "puffing yourself up" over others. Keeping No Record of Wrongs: refusing to hold on to past hurts or using them against someone later. Protecting Others: Covering a brother or sister in private rather than exposing their weaknesses. V. Conclusion: The Victorious Walk Everything Else May Fail: Prophecies, tongues, and specialized knowledge are temporary and may fail or cease, but love is eternal and never fails. The Final Goal: The believer's "great quest" should be to attain a state where they speak the truth in love and grow into the full stature of Christ. Sermon Declaration: “I refuse to live a powerless or disconnected life. I choose to make love my great quest. From today, I reposition my life so that my faith is energized by love, my prayers are answered, and I walk in the total victory of God.”

Sermon Notes: The Doctrine of God's Love Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: 1 John 4:7-8, 1 Corinthians 12-14, Ephesians 4-5. I. The Essence of God is Love Divine Identity: God does not just "have" love; He is love. The New Birth Connection: Being "born of God" is inherently linked to love; knowing God is measured by your capacity to love. The Measuring Rod of Maturity: Spiritual growth isn't defined by the intensity of your faith or the frequency of your visions, but by your conduct in love. II. Love vs. Spiritual Gifts The Futility of Giftings Without Love: One can speak in tongues, prophesy, and understand mysteries, but without love, they are "nothing". Sacrifice (giving to the poor or giving one's body to be burned) profits nothing if not motivated by love. The More Excellent Way: Love is the primary "spiritual endowment" that should be eagerly pursued above all other gifts. III. Love in the Body of Christ The Five-Fold Ministry's Goal: Apostles, prophets, and teachers are given to equip the saints to "speak the truth in love," leading to a "perfect man" modeled after Christ. Collective Revelation: Jesus is best revealed to the world through the members of the church acting in love, rather than through individual spiritual manifestations. The Danger of Stagnation: People often leave churches not because they lack miracles, but because they lack the "picture of Christ" which is only visible through loving relationships. IV. The Hard Truth: Love and Sacrifice Walking in Love Means Dying: To walk in Agape love requires a "crucifixion" of the self. Forgiveness as Power: Love requires us to ignore offenses and love those who have treated us poorly—even when it is "righteous" to be angry. The Warning: Unforgiveness and bitterness act as "spiritual blockades" that hinder your prayer life and fellowship with God. V. Types of Love (Human vs. God-Kind) Human-Kind Love: Includes Storge (family/blood), Philia (friendship), and Eros (romantic). These are powerful but limited by human nature. God-Kind Love (Agape): A "liquid love" poured into the heart by the Holy Spirit. It is the only love capable of truly honoring God and producing eternal profit. Closing Declaration: “I choose to pursue love as my great quest. I will be an imitator of God by walking in love, allowing the Holy Spirit to stir my heart toward those who have hurt me, so that I may grow into the full measure of Christ.”

Sermon Notes: Katartizo – Creating Your Miracle with Your Words Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: Hebrews 11:3 – "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." I. Understanding "Katartizo" Definition: The Greek word Katartizo means to put in order, to restore, or to complete. The Blueprint of Creation: God did not use pre-existing material to create the world; He used His words. Words are the "building blocks" of the spirit realm. The Power to Repair: Just as a fisherman mends his nets (Katartizo), you can use your words to mend broken areas of your life—finances, health, or relationships. II. The Law of Confession Faith Must Speak: Faith is not passive. 2 Corinthians 4:13 says, "I believed and therefore I spoke." If you believe it but won't say it, you aren't fully exercising faith. The "Say-Check": Your words should not describe your problem; they should declare your solution. Don't say "I am sick"; say "By His stripes, I am healed." Alignment: Your mouth must be in agreement with God’s Word. When your confession aligns with Scripture, you give the Holy Spirit the "material" to work with in your life. III. Framing Your World You are the Architect: Your words are like the frame of a house. They set the boundaries and the structure of what you can experience. The Echo Effect: The circumstances you see today are often the "echoes" of words you spoke yesterday. To change the echo, you must change the original sound (your speech). Dominion through Speech: God gave man dominion. In the Kingdom of God, dominion is exercised through decrees. A king does not struggle; he speaks, and it is done. IV. Practical Steps to "Katartizo" Your Life Identify the Breach: Locate the area of your life that is out of order or "unframed." Find the Word: Search the Scriptures for a promise that addresses that specific need. Release the Sound: Consistently speak that Word over your situation. Do not be moved by what you see; stay focused on what you are saying. Refuse Contrary Talk: Stop "self-sabotaging" by speaking doubt, fear, or gossip, which tears down the frame you are trying to build. Key Quote: "Your world is a product of your words. If you don't like what you see, change what you are saying." Closing Prayer/Declaration: "I declare that my world is framed by the Word of God. I am mending every broken area of my life with my confession. My future is bright, my health is restored, and my paths are made straight by the power of my words. Amen."

Sermon Title:  THE PRACTICE OF LOVE Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 14:1, 1 Corinthians 13:1-8, John 14:21-23, Galatians 5:6. I. The Priority of Soul Winning The Mark of Wisdom: "He that wins souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:30). Eternal Impact: earthly fame and wealth are temporary, but the impact made in heaven through soul winning lasts forever. A Call to Action: Believers should pray to become "ardent soul winners," asking God to use their lives to bring others to righteousness. II. Love: The Most Excellent Way Beyond Gifts: One can speak in tongues, prophesy, or work miracles, but without love, they are merely a "clanging cymbal". The Measurement of Maturity: Spiritual growth is not measured by the depth of one's tongues or the number of visions they see, but by the dimension of their love. The Nature of Agape: This is a supernatural love that allows a person to sacrifice for others—even strangers—without expecting anything in return. III. The Manifestation of God through Love The Conditional Presence: Jesus promises to manifest Himself to those who love Him and keep His commandments. Check the "Love Meter": If you are not experiencing the presence of God, examine the genuineness of your love for Him and others. The Danger of Hypocrisy: Many in the church "smile but don't love." True love requires being real and honest, rather than pretending. IV. The Practical Dangers of Not Walking in Love Hindered Faith: According to Galatians 5:6, "faith worketh by love." Without love, faith for healing or miracles cannot produce results. Physical Sickness: Unforgiveness and hatred (e.g., toward family members) can manifest as physical ailments like high blood pressure or heart conditions. Loss of Members: People often leave churches not because of a lack of miracles, but because they do not feel the love and compassion of the community. V. Practicing Love Daily Love is an intentional action, not just an emotion. It involves: Suffering Long: Enduring annoying people with patience. Being Kind: Looking for ways to help others even when it is inconvenient. Not Being Easily Provoked: Refusing to take offense or seek revenge. Thinking No Evil: Choosing to see the best in people rather than being constantly suspicious. Closing Challenge: Identify one "difficult person" in your life this week and intentionally show them the Agape love of God.

  CREATING YOUR MIRACLE WITH WORDS Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Theme:  CREATING YOUR MIRACLE WITH WORDS Core Message: The Christian life is inherently supernatural, and believers have the divine ability to "frame" or manufacture their reality through bold spiritual declarations. Scripture References Mark 16:17-18: These signs follow those who believe, including casting out devils, speaking in new tongues, and being unharmed by deadly things. Acts 1:8: "You shall receive power" (Greek: Dunamis), interpreted here as access to miracle-working ability. Hebrews 11:2: Through faith, the elders obtained a "good report" or divine testimony that did not exist before. Hebrews 11:3: "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God". Key Points & Sub-points 1. The Nature of Miracles External Intervention: A miracle is something that defies natural logic and requires external divine intervention to manifest. Replicability: Miracles are not random occurrences (intoms); they are replicable if one understands the spiritual laws and technology that govern them. Miracles as Atmosphere: Creating an atmosphere for the miraculous involves applying specific scriptural principles. 2. "Katartizo": The Technology of Framing Framing the World: The Greek word Katartizo means to mold, shape, fabricate, or manufacture using specific materials. Words as Building Materials: Just as God framed the universe with His word, believers use their words to frame their own systems and patterns (aeons) within the earth. Stability in the Word: Unlike opinions or feelings, the Word of God is immutable and provides the necessary stability for spiritual construction. 3. The Miracle in Your Mouth Bold Declaration: The sermon emphasizes that a believer’s miracle is tied to their speech. Speaking feelings or negative circumstances (e.g., "I don't have money") only frames more of that negative reality. Case Study (Philippa): A student was encouraged to speak boldly against a situation where her father's imported cars were being seized at the port. By refusing to sympathize with the problem and instead declaring a positive outcome, the situation was miraculously reversed by a higher authority. Changing the Atmosphere: Continual positive declaration acts like water vapor forming clouds; eventually, the "spiritual cloud" becomes heavy enough to pour out as a physical manifestation. Call to Action / Application Stop Speaking Feelings: Do not speak what you see or feel; speak what you believe according to God's Word. Boldness in Prayer: Approach God with boldness rather than timidity, as boldness activates spiritual power. Personal Confession: Actively declare strength, health, and abundance over your life to shift your spiritual atmosphere from one of bad luck (mattah) to one of divine favor.

Sermon Notes: THE PRIORITY OF LOVE: YOUR GREATEST PURSUIT Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, 1 Corinthians 14:1, Matthew 22:37-39, 1 John 4:7-8 I. The Core Mandate: Love as the Primary Pursuit The Greatest Quest: Love is not merely a spiritual option; it is the ultimate pursuit of the Christian life. The Supremacy of Love: While spiritual gifts like prophecy, tongues, and miracles are desirable, they are "nothing" and "meaningless" without the foundation of love. The Definition of Maturity: Spiritual growth is not measured by the intensity of one's spiritual gifts, but by one’s capacity to love and forgive others. A Law of Necessity: Following Christ requires prioritizing love as a command, not a suggestion—loving God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. II. The Purpose of Spiritual Power For the Body, Not the Individual: Spiritual gifts and anointing are given to serve and protect the "weaker" members of the church body, just as the most vulnerable parts of the human body are the most covered and cared for. Against Elitism: True spiritual power rejects social elitism; it does not favor the wealthy or educated over those who appear less prominent. Kingdom Value: Anointing is intended to bring deliverance and change to others, not to build a personal reputation as a "major prophet" or servant of God. III. The Dangers of Walking Without Love Pastor Okronipa identifies six grave dangers for those who neglect the walk of love: Faith Failure: Faith is "powered by love" (Galatians 5:6); if love is absent, your faith will stop working regardless of how many scriptures you confess. Hindered Prayers: Harboring offense or bitterness against anyone—including family or leadership—acts as a barrier that prevents God from answering your petitions. Disconnected Fellowship: Because "God is love," failing to love others means you are stepping out of alignment and fellowship with God's nature. Open Doors to the Enemy: Bitterness and unreleased anger provide a "foothold" for demonic oppression and spiritual instability. Zero Kingdom Profit: Even the most extreme sacrifices (like giving all your goods to the poor or giving your body to be burned) have "zero reward" if they are not rooted in love. Spiritual Blindness: Claiming to be in the "light" while hating a brother means you are actually walking in darkness and deception. IV. Practical Application Examine the "Heart-o-meter": Regularly check for hidden bitterness, jealousy, or envy that might be hindering your spiritual progress. Celebrate Others: Mature love celebrates the success, gifts, and strengths of others without the need for competition. Repent of Lovelessness: We must surrender ambitions and spiritual activities that are not rooted in the nature of Christ, which is love. Closing Thought: "To grow spiritually is to grow in God, and to grow in God is to grow in love, because God is love."

Sermon Title: Making the Love of Christ Your Great Quest Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 13 & 14, 2 Thessalonians 3:5, Ephesians 5:1-2 I. The Mandate: Love as the Primary Pursuit In the Christian walk, there is a distinct hierarchy of spiritual priorities. While the church often emphasizes power and gifts, Scripture redirects our focus toward love as the "more excellent way." The Command to Pursue: 1 Corinthians 14:1 instructs us to "Pursue love." The Greek word used here is dioko, which means to eagerly chase or hunt, much like a predator pursues its prey. The Difference Between Desire and Quest: You are told to desire spiritual gifts but to make love your quest. You can desire something without chasing it, but a quest requires an intentional, life-altering pursuit. The Goal: Love must be your "bullseye"—the very center of your spiritual aim. II. The Futility of Gifts Without Love 1 Corinthians 13 highlights that the highest levels of spiritual operation are rendered useless if they are not fueled by love. 1. Spiritual Utterances If you speak in the tongues of men or even angels but lack love, you are merely a "sounding brass" or a "clanging cymbal." Without love, powerful prayer and tongues become an "empty sound" that is frustrating and irritating rather than transformative. 2. Revelation and Knowledge One can understand all mysteries and possess all knowledge, yet if love is absent, the person is "nothing." 3. Miracle-Working Faith Even faith that is powerful enough to remove mountains is profitless without the component of love. 4. Extreme Sacrifice Giving all your goods to the poor or even giving your body to be burned (martyrdom) profits you nothing if the motivation is not love. Correction on Human Love: Often, we mistake "kindness" or "human affinity" for God's love. True Agape goes beyond loving those in our circle; it is a supernatural disposition. III. The Superiority of Love The Bible establishes that love is the greatest of the abiding virtues. The Abiding Three: Faith, hope, and love remain, but love is the greatest. The More Excellent Way: 1 Corinthians 12:31 transitions into the love chapter by promising to show us a way that is superior to all spiritual offices and gifts. IV. Defining the Quest: Walking in the Love of God To pursue love is to pursue the very nature of God. Directed Hearts: 2 Thessalonians 3:5 is a prayer that the Lord "direct your hearts into the love of God." This implies that our hearts need divine navigation to stay aligned with His love. Imitating the Father: Ephesians 5:1-2 calls us to be "imitators of God" as dear children. The Standard of Christ: We are commanded to "walk in love, as Christ also has loved us." This is a sacrificial love—one that gives itself up as an offering. V. Practical Application: An Excellent Church An "excellent" church is not defined by its social gatherings or the fame of its leaders, but by its operation in love and the Spirit. Love Removes Barriers: When a church walks in the love of God, tribalism, social status, and personal offenses disappear. Gifts Flourishing in Love: Spiritual gifts (prophecy, healing, miracles) should be evident in the church, but they must be exercised through the "more excellent way" of love to be effective. A Burden for the People: The greatest drain on a leader is not the exercise of power, but the emotional labor of counseling those who are not walking in love and are thus easily frustrated or offended. Conclusion and Call to Action Make the love of God your Great Quest. Do not be satisfied with merely being "spiritual" or "gifted." Ask the Holy Spirit to direct your heart into a love that is sacrificial, consistent, and modeled after Jesus Christ. Prayer Point: "Lord, direct my heart into Your love. Let my life be an imitation of Christ's love in every word and action."

Sermon Notes: "Jesus, The Turning Point" Preacher: Rev. DR. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Reference: Mark 5:25–34 (The Woman with the Issue of Blood) I. The Universal Need for a Turning Point Life is filled with many challenges, calamities, and sorrows that can cause people to feel backward, negative, or overwhelmed. Definition: A turning point is a divine encounter or a specific point in time that shifts a person from backwards to forwards, negativity to positivity, and sorrow to rejoicing. The Reality of Struggle: Everyone, regardless of their background, faces something that weighs them down—be it in education, marriage, health, or personal shame. The Human Response: In the midst of problems, people often look for help in the wrong places, such as: Juju/Occultism: Seeking supernatural help from sources other than God. Human Influence: Relying on wealthy or influential people who ultimately have limitations. Destructive Habits: Turning to drugs, alcohol, or other vices to numb the pain. Key Thought: Human beings are limited and will eventually fail you, even those with the best intentions. II. The Origin of Life’s Problems If God created a perfect world, why is there so much suffering? The Perfect Beginning: God created everything perfect in the Garden of Eden, with man made in His own image. The Fall of Man: Through the deception of the serpent and the disobedience of Adam and Eve, sin entered the world. The Consequence: Every challenge—sickness, broken hearts, mental breakdowns, and poverty—is a manifestation of the "death" that resulted from sin. III. Jesus: The Ultimate Turning Point Jesus Christ is the only one who can truly change a person’s situation because He is the Way, the Truth, the Life, and the Light. Case Study: The Woman with the Issue of Blood The Condition: She suffered for 12 years with a constant flow of blood. The Frustration: She spent all her money on various doctors but only grew worse. The Isolation: Under Levitical law, she was considered "unclean," leading to spiritual, emotional, and social isolation. The Encounter: She heard about Jesus—the one who healed the blind, the deaf, and even raised the dead. The Act of Faith: She told herself, "If I may but touch the hem of His garment, I shall be made whole". The Result: The moment she touched Him, 12 years of suffering ended instantly.  IV. How to Connect with Your Turning Point Pastor Okronipa outlines the A-B-C-D steps to receiving a miracle and salvation through Jesus: A - Accept: Acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of help. B - Believe: Have faith that Jesus came to die for your sins and was resurrected for your justification. C - Confess: Declare with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. D - Dedicate: Commit your life to serving Him forever; this includes joining a community of believers (the Church). Conclusion Jesus wants your joy to be full. He is able to move you from obscurity to prominence and from being a "nobody" to a "somebody". No matter the generational curse or the length of the struggle, an encounter with Jesus is the turning point you need.

Sermon Notes: The Firstfruit Resurrection Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 I. Introduction: The Uniqueness of Christ’s Resurrection The Definitive Event: The resurrection is the single event that sets Jesus Christ above every historical or religious figure. Fulfilled Prophecy: Unlike other leaders who died and remained in the grave, Jesus predicted His death and His return to life, bringing salvation to humanity. The Consummation of Promises: Jesus is the fulfillment of every promise God ever made to man; He is the "one single heart desire" and vision of God. II. The Scriptural Basis (1 Corinthians 15:20-23) The Firstfruit: Christ has risen from the dead and become the "firstfruits" of those who have fallen asleep (died in faith). The Two Adams: * Through one man (Adam), death entered the world. Through another man (Christ), the resurrection from the dead came to all. Life in Him: "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive." III. Finding Your Identity in the Word Moving Beyond Application: Many Christians have weak faith because they try to apply the Word to their lives rather than seeing themselves in the Word. Living Expressions: We are called to be "living expressions" of the Word of God—Word in motion and power in action. Subjective Understanding: We must lose our "objectivity" toward life and subject our understanding entirely to what God has said. Breaking Lineages: When you find yourself in the Scriptures, you are no longer a victim of generational curses or bloodline patterns; your bloodline is now defined by Christ. IV. The Threefold Revelation of Jesus To have strong faith, one must understand Jesus in three specific roles: The King: The sovereign ruler. The Savior (Messiah): The one who delivers. The Lamb of God: The sacrifice who takes away the sins of the entire world (including the media and unbelievers), not just Christians. V. The Reality of the Resurrection The Scrutiny: As a "Lamb without blemish," Jesus' life was questioned and scrutinized by man, yet He died sinless for the sake of sinners. The Victory in Hell: After His physical death, Jesus' soul entered Hell to defeat Satan and take the keys of death and Hades (Revelation 1:18). The Power of an Endless Life: * Other resurrections (like Lazarus) were returns to a mortal life that would eventually end again. Christ’s resurrection introduced a "new kind of life"—Zoe, which is eternal, incorruptible, and undying. VI. Practical Application: Living the Resurrection Life No Fear of Death: Because Jesus holds the keys, a Christian should not fear death. It is not an end, but a transition to being present with the Lord. Authority Over Sickness and Poverty: Resurrection life (immortality) is at work in our spirits now. We can use this "on-diability" to combat cancer, diabetes, and lack, as these are expressions of mortality and decay. The Witness of the Spirit: Even though we did not see the empty tomb physically, the Holy Spirit reveals the truth of the resurrection to our hearts, creating a transformation more powerful than physical sight. Core Message: "Everything that is supposed to be the foundation of our faith and the foundation of our hope is already outlined in the Bible... our story has already been written."

TOPIC: BEHOLD YOUR JESUS – OUR SAVIOUR AND REDEEMER Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Matthew 21:9 (Hosanna – Save us now) John 1:29 (The Lamb of God) Isaiah 53:5 John 19:30 Luke 22:19 Matthew 26:14–16 KEY POINTS 1. Jesus the Messiah – The Saviour Has Come The celebration of Jesus was a sign that He is the Messiah. “Hosanna” means Save us now. Jesus came to give: Peace Salvation Restoration Jesus came for: Deliverance from sin Eternal restoration Transformation of the soul Jesus is the Saviour of our souls. 2. The Finished Work of Salvation Jesus paid the full price for our redemption. We do not need to pay again. 📖 John 19:30 — “It is finished.” Because of His sacrifice: We can claim everything salvation provides We have access to grace, freedom, and new life 3. Jesus the Lamb (Sacrifice) Jesus is the Lamb of God. The Lamb represents: Sacrifice Vulnerability Divine selection 📖 John 1:29 Jesus was chosen by God to be sacrificed for humanity. 4. The Breaking of His Body The breaking of Jesus’ body was for our sake. 📖 Luke 22:19 His suffering brought: Healing Redemption Restoration 5. The Danger of Betrayal Wherever betrayal is present, Satan is involved. Judas is often blamed, but many believers also betray Jesus through: Wrong choices Compromise Personal gain Betrayal causes a person to lose spiritual quality and integrity. 6. The Call to Spiritual Persistence Sometimes one prayer is not enough. You must continue praying persistently. Breakthrough requires: Consistency Endurance Spiritual hunger CONCLUSION Jesus is the Messiah who came to save, restore, and transform lives. He paid the full price, so we can live in freedom and victory. However: We must guard against betrayal We must remain committed to Him We must persist in prayer Salvation is free, but sustaining your walk with God requires commitment.  

TOPIC: POWER FOR DESTINY FULFILLMENT Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa INTRODUCTION There is a difference between activity and accuracy. Life is not about just doing something. It is about knowing what to do and having the power to execute it. Destiny is not guaranteed when power is not at play. WHAT IS POWER? Power is best explained through experience. Until power is in expression, destiny cannot be guaranteed. 📖 Acts 10:38 “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power…” Even Jesus needed power to fulfill destiny. MANDATE AND MANTLE As a man with a mandate, you need a mantle. A mandate without power is frustration. A calling without empowerment leads to struggle. WHAT POWER DOES Power is a force that: Controls a generation Causes systems to submit Establishes authority Enforces destiny If you are not empowered, you will be controlled by others. When people are empowered: They become rebellious to negativity They refuse oppression They resist limitation THE DANGER OF POWERLESSNESS Having a good heart without power is useless. Having nobility without empowerment is still useless. 📖 Acts 1:8 “You shall receive power…” Christianity without power is theory. THE SOURCE OF POWER Men of prayer are men of power. Power flows from: Prayer The Holy Spirit Spiritual alignment Intimacy with God KEY TRUTH Destiny is not fulfilled by wishes. Destiny is fulfilled by power. You don’t fulfill destiny by emotion. You fulfill destiny by empowerment.  

THE ISSACHAR ANOINTING Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa 📖 1 Chronicles 12:32 “And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do…” WHO WERE THE SONS OF ISSACHAR? The sons of Issachar were: Men of understanding Men who knew the times and seasons Men who knew what Israel ought to do They did not just know the time — They knew the correct action for the season. WHAT IS THE ISSACHAR ANOINTING? The Issachar anointing is: The grace to discern times and seasons Insight into what must be done per season Spiritual intelligence for your generation The ability to interpret what God is doing now It gives men: Direction Counsel Strategy Alignment ACCESSING THE ISSACHAR ANOINTING Do not compare yourself to others The sons of Issachar had knowledge and counsel for their generation. They were not warriors like others — but they were strategic. Don’t measure yourself by how others are performing. Focus on your assignment. Pray for discernment and alignment Ask God for: Understanding Spiritual sensitivity Alignment with His agenda Discernment is knowing: 👉 What God is doing in your generation 👉 What He expects from you in this season KEY TRUTH Many people fail not because they lack strength — They fail because they lack understanding of their season. When you know your season: You don’t force things. You don’t compete wrongly. You move with precision.

  THIS GOSPEL [FRUITFULNESS] Tuesday Teaching and Miracle Service Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa 📖 Genesis 1:28 WHAT IS FRUITFULNESS? The word fruit comes from the Greek word “Karpos” (often spelled Kapos in notes), meaning: The result of life in a living organism The visible evidence of vitality Fruit is proof that you matter. Fruit defines your existence. When you refuse to produce fruit, extinction begins. God wants us to do well in the area of fruitfulness. KEY TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE AND FAITH Sympathy never changes lives. Faith changes circumstances. If something happens to you, the solution is in you. 📖 1 Corinthians 10:13 WHAT IS TRUE FRUIT? True fruit is contained in souls. True fruit is: The product of the gospel The produce of the gospel Lives translated from death to life 📖 Mark 16:15 📖 Matthew 24:14 📖 Romans 1:16 The gospel is: The power of God The wisdom of God 📖 1 Corinthians 1:18 The gospel is God’s message to men that brings salvation. GOD SAVES MEN THROUGH MEN God does not save men by angels. He saves men by men. 📖 2 Corinthians 5:18–19 📖 Matthew 28:19 📖 Acts 1:8 There must be a message in your mouth. 📖 Matthew 24:14 WARNING: THE DANGER OF UNFRUITFULNESS If you are not fruitful in soul winning, you are jeopardizing your future. Souls are valuable. The devil fears the gospel — therefore he brings distractions. Distraction is one of Satan’s most effective weapons. Satan is aggressive against the gospel because: The gospel is the power that destroys his kingdom. THREE ILLUSTRATIONS ABOUT THE GOSPEL A gospel kept in the church is power being wasted. A seed kept in the bank does not grow. Fire that stays in one place eventually dies. The gospel is fire — if it does not spread, it weakens. WHAT MAKES THE GOSPEL EFFECTIVE? Spiritual power activated by prayer and the Word. Communal love — unity and fellowship. Population — growth through evangelism. Seven Non-Negotiable Reasons Every Christian Must Preach the Gospel 1. Jesus Himself is a Soul Winner 📖 Luke 19:10 📖 1 Timothy 1:15 2. The Harvest is Great 📖 Luke 10:2 📖 Luke 9:1–2 3. The Labourers Are Few Everyone who believes must labor with Him. 4. The Great Commission 📖 Mark 16:15 📖 Matthew 28:19 5. Because of Unfulfilled Prophecy Concerning His Return 📖 Ezekiel 33:6–8 6. Because Jesus is Alive and Working There is no miracle without the gospel. CONCLUSION Fruitfulness is not optional — it is a command. 📖 Genesis 1:28 The proof of life is fruit. The proof of Christianity is souls. If the gospel is in you, it must move through you.  

  THE CONCEPT OF DOMINION 📖 Genesis 1:26–28 Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Date: 31/01/2025 WHAT IS DOMINION? Dominion comes from the Hebrew word Radah. Radah means to rule, reign, govern, tread down, or exercise authority. Dominion is the reason for the creation of man. Dominion is over the works of creation, not to lord over men. Dominion means to be in control and influence your world. It means ruling over death, poverty, and economic hardship — they are meant to be subject to you. Dominion is choosing to be a prevailing force wherever you are. In simple terms, dominion means influencing your world. 📖 Exodus 9:1 — Israel exercised dominion. 📖 Genesis 31:1 — Dominion is supernatural increase and takeover by God’s power. GOD’S INTENTION FOR DOMINION God desires that His people dominate and expand their sphere in every area. Dominion means increase in influence, authority, and impact. The presence of God must never be taken for granted — dominion flows from His presence.   OPPOSITIONS OF DOMINION Satan and the forces of darkness Ignorance, half-truths, and wrong doctrines Family systems The flesh INSTRUMENTS FOR DOMINION The Image of God The Likeness of God The Presence of God The Life of God Speaking over your life 📖 2 Corinthians 4:13 — God calls things that be not as though they were You receive dominion by calling it Covenant practices 📖 Luke 6:38 Covenant practices of tokens and signs 📖 Acts 19:12 Staying connected to your prophet 📖 Hosea 12:13  

TOPIC: The Power of Praise and Thanksgiving Praise and Thanksgiving Is a Weapon Praise is not just music — it is spiritual warfare. Thanksgiving changes atmospheres and situations. When believers praise, God moves. 📖 2 Chronicles 20 — When Judah praised, God fought their enemies. 📖 Acts 16:26 — Paul and Silas praised, and prison doors opened. What Praise and Thanksgiving Can Do Releases God’s power into situations Breaks yokes and limitations Invites divine intervention Brings supernatural breakthroughs Changes sorrow into joy Praise is powerful because God dwells in praise. Benefits of Praise and Thanksgiving 1. Praise and Thanksgiving Is the Will of God God desires gratitude, not complaining. 📖 1 Thessalonians 5:18 — “In everything give thanks…” 2. Praise and Thanksgiving Brings Multiplication Whatever you thank God for increases. 📖 Jeremiah 30:19 Out of them shall proceed thanksgiving, and I will multiply them. Thanksgiving → Multiplication Complaining → Reduction 3. Praise and Thanksgiving Brings Honour Those who thank God are lifted. 📖 Jeremiah 30:19 “And they shall not be few… and I will glorify them.” Thanksgiving leads to: Honour Increase Elevation Power Demonstrations of Praise in Scripture 📖 2 Chronicles 20 They praised God set ambushes Victory came without fighting 📖 Acts 16:26 Paul and Silas praised in prison Doors opened Chains fell Supernatural release happened CONCLUSION Praise and thanksgiving are not optional — they are weapons, keys to multiplication, and paths to honour. When you: praise instead of complain, and thank God instead of murmuring, you invite God’s power to work in your life.

TOPIC: 6 Ways of Appreciating God  Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Psalm 92:1–5 Psalm 116:12 Luke 17:17–18 KEY THOUGHTS Thanksgiving is the believer’s response to God’s goodness. Appreciation is recognizing the full worth of God and valuing what He has done. Ingratitude blocks blessings; thanksgiving multiplies them. 6 WAYS TO APPRECIATE GOD 1. Thanksgiving Prayers Speak appreciative words to God. Thank Him intentionally and personally. Don’t assume gratitude — express it in prayer. 2. Share Your Testimonies 📖 Luke 17:17–18 — “Where are the other nine?” Be someone who returns to tell what God has done. Thank Him one by one for every blessing. Testimony is an act of appreciation. 3. Using Songs and Psalms Worship and praise songs express gratitude. Sing of His goodness, mercy, and faithfulness. Psalms are tools for thanksgiving. 4. With a Dance Dance is a prophetic act of joy and gratitude. Thanksgiving is not silent — it is expressive. 5. With Instruments Musical instruments are tools of thanksgiving. They celebrate God’s greatness and goodness. 6. With a Thanksgiving Offering Giving is a strong expression of appreciation. Offerings communicate value and honour to God. Thanksgiving is incomplete without giving. CONCLUSION Thanksgiving is not just a day — it is a lifestyle. When believers pray thankfully, testify, sing, dance, play instruments, and give, they honor God and attract greater blessings. Those who appreciate well experience perfection and increase.

TOPIC: PROVOKING FEARFUL FAVOUR FOR A GLORIOUS FUTURE PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Genesis 1:1 Judges 6:12, 17 Genesis 13:1–2 Malachi 1:9 Philemon 1:6 Proverbs 3:4 Proverbs 13:15 KEY POINTS 1. Preparation Is the Mother of Success Nothing happens by accident in the Kingdom of God. Preparation positions a person for favor. 2. Understanding Favor Favor beautifies life and gives it meaning. Favor is the spice of life — it adds value and attractiveness. The strength of men cannot bring lasting victory; favor does. When a man is favored, his life becomes constructed, not scattered. 📖 Judges 6:12, 17 Favor is a constructor of destiny. 3. Types of Favor Common Favor — general goodwill. Fearful Favor — supernatural favor that makes enemies fear you. Fearful favor announces a man’s destiny before he arrives. 📖 Genesis 13:1–2 Abraham’s increase was evidence of fearful favor. 4. Favor Is the Master Key to Fulfillment Many struggle not because they are weak, but because they lack favor. Fulfillment responds to favor, not effort alone. 5. Consciousness Activates Favor 📖 Malachi 1:9 Grace must be acknowledged to be manifested. Without favor-consciousness, favor remains dormant. 📖 Philemon 1:6 The communication of your faith becomes effective when you acknowledge what God has placed in you. HOW TO PROVOKE FAVOR 1. Change Your Mindset (Build Favor Consciousness) Declare: “I am the favored of the Lord.” What you believe determines what you experience. 2. Get Understanding Through Study 📖 Proverbs 3:4; Proverbs 13:15 Favor follows understanding. Ignorance limits grace. 3. Engage in Fasting and Prayer Fasting and prayer sharpen spiritual sensitivity. Favor responds to spiritual alignment. 4. Follow Those Who Are Favored Who you follow determines what follows you. Follow people who are going where you are going. 5. Connect to the Grace of Your Prophet Fathers give feathers for sons to fly far. Certain results only come through prophetic connection. Engage in prophetic covenant relationships. 📖 Esther and Mordecai 6. Be a Kingdom Promoter God favors those who advance His Kingdom. Service attracts favor. 7. Live a Lifestyle of Thanksgiving Thanksgiving sustains favor. Gratitude keeps doors open. CONCLUSION Favor is not accidental — it is provoked. When you prepare, build favor-consciousness, connect to grace, follow rightly, serve God, and walk in thanksgiving, favor becomes inevitable. Favor is the force that constructs destiny and ushers believers into fulfillment.

TOPIC: Appreciation Brings Perfection PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Ecclesiastes 7:8 Psalm 138:8 Jeremiah 30:19 Psalm 103:1–5 Psalm 34:1 Psalm 116:12 Luke 17:12–19 KEY POINTS 1. The End of a Matter Is Very Important 📖 Ecclesiastes 7:8 How a person ends a situation or season matters greatly to God. God is interested not just in beginnings but in completions. 2. Engaging the Altar of Mercy Appreciation activates the altar of mercy. Thanksgiving is a tool of faith that positions believers to receive grace. Praise is a key that opens doors to divine intervention. 3. Understanding Perfection 📖 Psalm 138:8 Perfection means fulfillment, completion, maturity, and wholeness. It means nothing missing, nothing lacking, and nothing broken. God is committed to perfecting everything that concerns His children. 4. Perfection Is by Grace, Not by Works Christianity is not sustained by human effort but by grace. Perfection is a mystery of God’s mercy and grace working in a believer’s life. What God perfects in your life is a spiritual reality before it becomes physical. 5. There Is a Grace for Perfection God releases grace specifically for perfection. God desires to perfect every area of your life — spiritual, physical, emotional, and material. 6. Perfection Is Triggered Through Appreciation 📖 Jeremiah 30:19 Thanksgiving attracts multiplication and perfection. Complaining drains grace and removes the “song” from a believer’s life. 7. Thanksgiving Is a Lifestyle 📖 Psalm 103:1–5; Psalm 34:1 Thanksgiving is not occasional — it is continuous. Christianity is not meant to be silent or passive; it is expressive. 📖 Psalm 116:12 A thankful heart constantly asks, “What shall I render to the Lord?” 8. The Meaning of Appreciation Appreciation means recognizing the full worth of God. It is valuing God for who He is and for what He has done. Thanksgiving shows a deep understanding of God’s works and goodness. It is giving glory to God intentionally and consciously. 9. Biblical Example: The Grateful Leper 📖 Luke 17:12–19 Ten were healed, but one returned to give thanks. The thankful one was made whole — perfection followed appreciation. CONCLUSION Appreciation is a spiritual force that brings completion and wholeness. When believers cultivate a lifestyle of thanksgiving, they engage grace, activate mercy, and position themselves for divine perfection. What appreciation acknowledges, God perfects. A thankful life is a perfected life.

TOPIC: Faithfulness Brings Promotion (Part 2) PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES 1 Corinthians 15:58 1 Corinthians 4:1–2 Luke 16:10–12 Matthew 25:21 Colossians 3:23 KEY POINTS 1. Faithfulness Is Required of Every Steward 📖 1 Corinthians 4:1–2 In the Kingdom of God, faithfulness is not optional — it is required. God does not first demand results; He demands faithfulness. Every believer is a steward of something — time, talent, money, opportunity, or responsibility. 2. Be Steadfast and Unmovable 📖 1 Corinthians 15:58 Faithfulness demands steadiness. Promotion does not come to those who are unstable, easily discouraged, or inconsistent. Being steadfast means remaining committed even when results are not immediate. 3. Faithfulness Must Be Practiced in Your Place of Work Faithfulness is not only for church or ministry. God expects believers to be faithful wherever He has placed them — workplace, business, school, or assignment. 📖 Colossians 3:23 Work as unto the Lord, not unto men. 4. Excellence in Little Things Precedes Promotion 📖 Luke 16:10–12 God promotes people who are faithful with little. Neglecting small responsibilities disqualifies people from greater assignments. Promotion is proof that you handled the little well. 5. Faithfulness Is Proven by Diligence, Not Excuses Faithfulness means doing what is required without complaints or excuses. God measures how well you do with what is already in your hands. Anything God places in your care must prosper. 6. Faithfulness Triggers Divine Promotion 📖 Matthew 25:21 Promotion is God’s response to proven faithfulness. Faithfulness changes levels and enlarges capacity. CONCLUSION Faithfulness is the pathway to promotion in the Kingdom of God. When believers remain steadfast, diligent, and excellent in the little entrusted to them, God responds with elevation. Promotion does not come by striving — it comes by faithful stewardship. Be faithful where you are, and God will take you where you should be.

TOPIC: Faithfulness Brings Promotion PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Matthew 7:21–22 1 Samuel 30:6 Matthew 25:14–30 Psalm 100:5 Deuteronomy 7:9 Revelation 19:11 2 Timothy 2:2 Lamentations 3:23 1 Corinthians 4:1–2 Proverbs 20:6 Revelation 2:10 Daniel 6:4 1 Samuel 2:35 Matthew 24:45 Luke 16:10–12 Titus 1:9 Malachi 2:14–16 Luke 19:17 Galatians 5:22 KEY POINTS 1. Faithfulness Is the Currency for Promotion in the Kingdom In the Kingdom of God, promotion is not by noise but by faithfulness. Faithfulness is the true test of spiritual maturity. Growth is proven when you can responsibly handle assignments without supervision. Faithfulness determines change of levels in the Kingdom. 📖 Matthew 25:21 2. Faithfulness Is Rooted in God’s Nature God is faithful by nature. 📖 Psalm 100:5, Deuteronomy 7:9 Covenants can be trusted because they are built on God’s faithfulness. When God says, “If you use My Word, I will cause it to happen,” it is because He is faithful. 📖 Revelation 19:11 3. Faithfulness Is a Measure in Heaven Heaven evaluates men by faithfulness, not activity. 📖 2 Timothy 2:2, Matthew 25 Many will weep in eternity when they realize what could have been, but was not, because they were not faithful. Faithfulness carries eternal weight, not just earthly relevance. WHAT IS FAITHFULNESS? 1. Consistency Staying reliable over time. 📖 Proverbs 20:6 2. Loyalty Staying power, stickability, unwavering commitment. 3. Dependability Being trustworthy even under pressure. 📖 Revelation 2:10, Daniel 6:4 4. Obedience of the Heart Willingly responding to God’s instructions. 📖 1 Samuel 2:35 5. Stewardship Handling what God gives with diligence. Time, money, people, and assignments. 📖 Matthew 24:45, Luke 16:10–12 HOW FAITHFULNESS IS TESTED Faithfulness is tested in little things. Faithfulness is revealed under pressure. Trials, temptations, suffering, and crises come to prove faithfulness. Excuses expose unfaithfulness. A faith that cannot endure pressure is convenient faith, not faithfulness. AREAS WHERE GOD EXPECTS FAITHFULNESS Doctrine and Ministry Work 📖 Titus 1:9 — Staying true to sound doctrine. Finances and Resources 📖 Luke 16:11 — Everything God gives is stewardship. Relationships and Marriage 📖 Malachi 2:14–16 Private Instructions from God Be faithful even when nobody knows. BENEFITS OF FAITHFULNESS Divine Promotion Divine Enlargement 📖 Luke 19:17 Commendation from God “Well done, good and faithful servant.” HOW TO BECOME A FAITHFUL SERVANT Walk with the Holy Spirit 📖 Galatians 5:22 Make a decision to be dependable Guard your integrity Finish what you start Value small things Stay under authority Keep your eyes on eternity CONCLUSION Faithfulness is the bridge between calling and promotion. God promotes those who prove faithful — in secret and in public, in little and in much. When faithfulness becomes your lifestyle, promotion becomes inevitable. Faithfulness today secures glory tomorrow.

THE REWARD OF HONOURING YOUR PROPHET Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Matthew 10:41 Galatians 6:6–7 2 Chronicles 20:20 Isaiah 44:3 KEY POINTS 1. Understanding the Office of a Prophet A Prophet Carries Two Dimensions A Sword — for correction, judgment, and spiritual alignment. A Reward — grace, blessings, favour, and supernatural advantage. A prophet is a messenger of God, carrying the Word, voice, and intentions of God to a people. Every Prophet Has a Spiritual Distribution Every prophet carries a unique distribution of the Spirit given by God. No prophet is empty — each one is a carrier of something that God wants to give His people. Every Prophet Has a Reward 📖 Matthew 10:41 Jesus taught that the “prophet’s reward” becomes available only when honour is shown. Honour unlocks what the prophet carries. 2. Honour Is the Access Point to Prophetic Grace Things begin to happen when you learn how to provide honour. Honour is not about personality — it is about recognizing the grace of God on the prophet. To dishonour a prophet is to disconnect from divine help. 📖 Galatians 6:6–7 Whatever you sow into a prophetic relationship produces a harvest. Honour is a seed; the prophet’s reward is the harvest. 3. HOW TO CONNECT TO THE PROPHET’S REWARD 1. Identify the Carrier of the Grace 📖 Matthew 10:41 You cannot receive from a man whose grace you do not identify. Recognition is the first step to impartation. 2. Receive the Person of the Prophet 📖 2 Chronicles 20:20 Believe in the Lord → be established. Believe His prophet → prosper. To "receive" the prophet means: Desire connection Honour him genuinely Value the grace on his life Love and esteem the anointing he carries 👉 The prophet you cannot honour cannot bless you. 3. Crave the Grace Upon the Prophet 📖 Isaiah 44:3 Hunger determines impartation. When you crave the oil your prophet carries, you position yourself for the outpouring. THE REWARDS OF HONOURING YOUR PROPHET 1. Access to the Prophet's Reward 📖 Matthew 10:41 You receive the grace, wisdom, covering, and results upon the prophet’s life. 2. Supernatural Prosperity 📖 2 Chronicles 20:20 Honour unlocks divine prosperity, open doors, and breakthroughs. 3. Impartation of Grace 📖 Isaiah 44:3 The spiritual deposits on the prophet begin to flow into your life. 4. Divine Protection and Covering The prophet’s covering shields you from attacks and misdirection. 5. Acceleration and Speed Honour multiplies results, shortens processes, and brings supernatural speed. 6. Favour and Open Doors Honour triggers favour with God and man because grace is activated. 7. Access to Divine Secrets and Direction Prophetic honour gives you access to counsel, spiritual clarity, and divine instructions. 8. Unusual Miracles and Encounters The anointing you honour becomes the anointing that works for you. CONCLUSION Honour is the key that unlocks the prophet’s blessing. Your prophet is God’s ordained channel of grace, impartation, and direction. To honour your prophet is to secure: ✔ supernatural lifting ✔ divine prosperity ✔ impartation of grace ✔ prophetic covering ✔ unusual breakthroughs The anointing you honour is the anointing that blesses you. The anointing you dishonour cannot lift you.  

TOPIC: THE KINGDOM MYSTERY OF HONOUR PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Proverbs 3:9–10 Ephesians 6:1–3 1 Timothy 5:17 Acts 28:4 Matthew 10:40–41 KEY POINTS 1. Honour Determines the Flow of Blessings In the house of God, everything flows in the direction of honour. Where honour is present, grace flows; where dishonour exists, grace is blocked. 2. Double Honour — God’s Order for Spiritual Leadership 📖 1 Timothy 5:17 Those who labour spiritually, feed you, bless you, and cover you are worthy of double honour. Honour is not flattery; it is value, recognition, and right posture. 3. Prophets Carry Two Dimensions A Prophet carries: A Blessing A Dagger (Judgment) 👉 What you receive depends entirely on how you approach the anointing. The same anointing that lifts some can judge others — the heart determines the outcome. 4. People You Must Honour Spiritual Parents & Their Family Your spiritual father is a covenant channel for impartation and preservation. Biological Parents Honour guarantees longevity (Eph. 6:1–3). Husbands & Wives Wives honour your husbands; husbands honour your wives with understanding (1 Pet. 3:7). If you play with honour, you lose access to favour, help, and grace. BENEFITS OF HONOUR 1. Honour Opens the Flow of Blessings 📖 Proverbs 3:9–10 Honour provokes divine provision, overflow, and supernatural supply. 2. Honour Gives Access to the Prophet’s Reward 📖 Matthew 10:40–41 When you honour a prophet, you partake of the prophet’s: ✔ grace ✔ favour ✔ revelation ✔ covering ✔ breakthroughs 3. Honour Secures Long Life & Well-Being 📖 Ephesians 6:1–3 Honour extends life and brings peace, stability, and favour. 4. Honour Opens Doors That Hard Work Alone Cannot Open Some doors respond only to honour, not to effort. 5. Honour Protects You From Spiritual Judgement Dishonour attracts negative spiritual consequences. Honour positions you under mercy, not judgment. 6. Honour Provokes Divine Remembrance 📖 Acts 10:4 Honour makes your giving and service rise as a memorial before God. 7. Honour Makes the Anointing Work for You The grace upon your spiritual father begins to produce: ✔ speed ✔ breakthroughs ✔ protection ✔ favour ✔ unusual results 8. Honour Preserves Relationships Honour strengthens families, marriages, and leadership systems. HOW TO SHOW HONOUR 1. Recognition Honour begins with the right thought and right perception. 📖 Acts 28:4 You cannot receive from a man you dishonour in your mind. 2. Reception 📖 Matthew 10:40 Receiving a prophet positions you for the prophet’s reward. 3. Rewarding Honour is also expressed through: ✔ support ✔ service ✔ giving ✔ responsible actions You cannot claim honour where there is no sacrifice. CONCLUSION Honour is a spiritual law, not a suggestion. The anointing you honour blesses you; the anointing you dishonour cannot lift you. Prophets carry both a blessing and a dagger. Your posture determines your portion. When you honour your spiritual father you step into supernatural favour, and unusual breakthroughs.

COVENANT KEYS FOR FINANCIAL DOMINION Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Deuteronomy 8:18 Genesis 26:3–5 Galatians 3:8–9 Jeremiah 33:20–21 Malachi 3:6 Genesis 8:20–22 Luke 6:38 KEY POINTS 1. Understanding the Covenant of Financial Dominion Financial prosperity is not a promise; it is a covenant. God’s covenant is unbreakable — as long as day and night remain, His covenant stands (Jer. 33:20–21). Christianity operates by principles, and these principles cannot be violated. 2. God Empowers His People for Wealth 📖 Deut. 8:18 — It is God who gives power to get wealth. God empowered Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob through covenant (Gen. 26:3–5). Through Christ, we are covenant heirs of Abraham (Gal. 3:8–9). 3. Seed-Time and Harvest Is the Foundation for Financial Dominion 📖 Genesis 8:20–22 — As long as the earth remains, seed-time and harvest will never cease. This is the law that governs unusual and consistent prosperity. What you sow is exactly what you reap — financial dominion responds to the law of seed. 4. There Are Blessings and There Are Uncommon Blessings God releases general blessings, but He also releases uncommon graces to His covenant people. Until you understand and obey the laws, you cannot walk in abundance. 5. The Covenant Practices That Enforce Financial Dominion Do not play with your covenant obligations: Tithes First Fruits Prophet’s Seed Partnerships Sacrificial Seeds Giving to the poor Offerings 📖 Luke 6:38 — Your giving determines your receiving. 6. Give From Your Heart God does not bless empty rituals — He blesses sincere giving. Giving must be done with love, faith, and honour. CONCLUSION Financial dominion is a covenant reality, activated through obedience to God’s principles. When you honour the laws of seed, covenant giving, and faithful obedience, you secure access to uncommon blessings, supernatural provision, and consistent financial empowerment.

TOPIC: Ending Financial Hardship PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Psalm 119:98, 104 Philippians 4:19 Genesis 22 Genesis 3:19 Isaiah 5:13 Proverbs 10:4 KEY POINTS 1. Understanding Is Needed to Move Through Life Successfully 📖 Psalm 119:98, 104 Without understanding, life becomes a struggle. Many struggles on earth persist because people lack spiritual and practical understanding. 2. God Can Supply All Your Needs 📖 Philippians 4:19 God revealed Himself to Abraham as El-Shaddai, the All-Sufficient God. Genesis 22 shows that God is a giver and supernatural provider. Every believer must believe that God is able and willing to take care of them. 3. Causes of Financial Hardship A. Ignorance 📖 Isaiah 5:13 The greatest issue of most Christians is ignorance. You must ask yourself: What can I do? What do I have in my hands? What value can I produce? There is something unique in you that can produce results — discover it. Types of knowledge needed: Knowledge of God Knowledge of the Word of God Knowledge on Finances B. Laziness 📖 Proverbs 10:4 — “The slack man turns to poverty.” Laziness is a major enemy of financial prosperity. C. Pride Pride shuts doors and prevents access to help, favour, and wisdom. D. Curses Negative family patterns, spoken words, or spiritual barriers can hinder prosperity. E. Wrong Mentalities Nomadic Mentality — a life with no aim, plan, or direction. Consumer Mentality — always spending, never producing. Choose to be a producer, not just a consumer. Materialistic Mentality — when money is the only focus. Wrong thinking produces wrong outcomes. 4. Vehicles of Financial Flow A. Spiritual Vehicles (Covenant Principles) These are embedded in Scripture and form the backbone of supernatural financial flow: First Fruits Tithing Prophet’s Seed Parental Honour Giving to the Poor & Needy Sacrificial Seeds These are the spiritual systems God uses to lift believers out of hardship. B. Physical Vehicles (Practical Channels of Income) Paid Employment Inheritance Money Market Instruments Do not waste money — invest in profitable financial instruments. CONCLUSION Financial hardship ends when ignorance is broken, wrong mentalities are corrected, and believers commit to both spiritual covenant principles and practical financial discipline. As you honour God’s systems and apply wisdom, your financial destiny shifts out of struggle into abundance.  

FAITH FOR MATERIAL & FINANCIAL PROVISION (PART 2) Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa INTRODUCTION Faith is required not only for salvation or spiritual growth — faith is needed for material supply, daily survival, and financial victories. God operates strictly by faith, and everything done outside of faith is unacceptable to Him. Even when a person has money physically, a believer must still engage faith — because faith is the master key to supernatural provision. KEY TRUTHS FROM PART 1 (FOUNDATION RECAP) 📌 We are seed of Abraham, therefore provision is covenant-based. 📌 God is Jehovah Jireh — The God Who Sees and Provides. 📌 God has a track record of supernatural supply — manna in the wilderness, coin in the fish, multiplication of bread. 📌 He is an unchanging God of abundance. These truths form the foundation upon which faith for supply is built. HOW TO CONNECT YOUR FAITH FOR SUPERNATURAL SUPPLY 1. Do Not Worry 📖 Matthew 6:25–34 Worry destroys faith and blocks divine supply. A fearful heart cannot receive from God. 2. Believe in God's Supernatural Ability to Provide 📖 Deuteronomy 28:12 Heaven’s treasury never runs dry. God can supply beyond salary, business, or economic conditions. 3. Maintain a Close Walk With God 📖 Genesis 39:2–3, Psalm 34:8–10 Provision flows through intimacy with God. Holiness attracts prosperity. 4. Follow Divine Direction & Instruction 📖 Isaiah 48:17–21, Psalm 23:1 Every blessing carries a divine instruction. Where God leads, supply follows. 5. Be Diligent in Your Work 📖 Psalm 1:1–3, Proverbs 10:4 Faith does not replace work — faith powers work into productivity. For every labour, there is profit. 6. Confess and Speak Abundance 📖 Numbers 14:28, Mark 11:23, Proverbs 18:21 Your mouth is your financial gateway. You cannot speak lack and expect increase. 7. Practice Seed-Time and Harvest 📖 Genesis 8:22, Luke 6:38, Luke 18:12 Giving activates the covenant of provision. "It is better to owe your problem than to owe God." CONCLUSION God desires to supply His children, but supply responds to faith, obedience, diligence, confession, and covenant practice. As we walk closely with God and apply these principles, we position ourselves for supernatural financial and material abundance.

FAITH FOR MATERIAL AND FINANCIAL PROVISION Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa INTRODUCTION Faith is needed for our daily living. Faith is the master key to a triumphant life. Faith is the atmosphere of God — the realm in which He operates. God does not honor anything except by faith. Anything done outside of faith is unacceptable to God. God desires to supply all your needs. Even if you have money physically, spiritual transactions still require faith (e.g., buying a car by faith). UNDERSTANDING THE LIFE OF FAITH 1. We Are the Seed of Abraham By redemption, we are connected to Abraham’s covenant blessings. 📖 Genesis 17:1–7 — God’s covenant with Abraham flows to his spiritual seed. Therefore, the covenant of provision belongs to us. 2. You Must See God as a God of Abundance 📖 Hebrews 13:8 — God never changes. If He provided before, He will provide again. UNDERSTANDING THE SOURCE OF OUR PROVISION Jehovah Jireh — Genesis 22:14 Jehovah Jireh reveals two powerful truths: God sees your need and makes provision ahead of time. God provides miraculously — supernatural supply. 📖 Isaiah 65:24 — Before you call, He answers. God Is the Source — The Rock 📖 1 Corinthians 10:1–4 We must trust in “the God of supply.” He is the unending source that never runs dry. TRACK RECORD OF GOD’S SUPPLY God has a proven history of supernatural provision: Manna for 3 million people for 40 years 📖 Psalm 78:25 Provision for the widow of Zarephath 📖 1 Kings 17:8–16 — It will not finish. Coin in the fish’s mouth 📖 Matthew 17:27 Feeding of the 5,000 📖 John 6:11 📖 Hebrews 11:2 — The elders obtained a good report through faith. HOW TO CONNECT YOUR FAITH TO SUPERNATURAL SUPPLY 1. Do Not Worry Anxiety paralyzes faith. Worry cancels God’s power in your life. 📖 Matthew 6:25–34 2. Believe in God’s Supernatural Ability to Provide Heaven has divine storehouses. 📖 Deuteronomy 28:12 3. Maintain a Close Walk With God Relationship with God attracts provision. Holiness leads to prosperity. 📖 Genesis 39:2–3 — The Lord was with Joseph. 📖 Psalm 34:8–10 4. Follow Divine Direction & Obey Instructions Every blessing from God carries a specific instruction. 📖 Isaiah 48:17–21 📖 Psalm 23:1 — The Lord leads; provision follows. 5. Be Diligent in Your Work The covenant provides for diligent workers. 📖 Psalm 1:1–3 📖 Proverbs 10:4 — Hard work leads to profit. “For every labor, there is profit.” 6. Confess, Decree, and Speak Abundance What you speak determines what you experience. 📖 Numbers 14:28 📖 Mark 11:23 📖 Proverbs 18:21 — If you don’t speak, you’re not expressing life. 7. Live by the Covenant Practice of Seedtime and Harvest The Abrahamic covenant is activated through giving. 📖 Genesis 8:22 📖 Luke 6:38 📖 Luke 18:12 “It is better to owe your problem than to owe God.” CONCLUSION God wants to supply all your needs, but it requires faith, obedience, diligence, and covenant practice. Faith is not just for spiritual matters — it is the key to material and financial provision. As you believe, speak, obey, and sow, you position yourself for supernatural supply.

TOPIC: Understanding Christian Fruitfulness — Part 4 PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES: Colossians 3:2 Daniel 12:3 Romans 12:9 Romans 6:17 Romans 12:10–11 Job 1 Luke 4:13 John 14:30 Proverbs 4:18 Exodus 16:18 Lamentations 3:22–23 2 Corinthians 4:16 Ephesians 5:18 Matthew 12:43–45 Joshua 1:8 Proverbs 13:20 KEY POINTS (PART 4) 1. A Christianity Without Fire Goes Downhill A believer without spiritual fire will decline in effectiveness. Fruitfulness cannot be sustained without spiritual fervency. 2. Fruitfulness in Time Determines Celebration in Eternity “To enjoy and to be celebrated in eternity, you need to be fruitful in time.” What you do now determines what you will enjoy later. Your earthly fruitfulness affects your eternal relevance. 3. Set Your Mind on the Right Things 📖 Colossians 3:2 Fruitfulness begins with a heavenly mindset. What occupies your mind shapes the fruit your life will produce. 📖 Daniel 12:3 Those who turn many to righteousness shine with eternal brightness. 4. Maintain Genuine Love and Spiritual Glow 📖 Romans 12:9 — Let your love be without hypocrisy. 📖 Romans 6:17 — Hold fast to the doctrine you received. 📖 Romans 12:10–11 — Serve the Lord with diligence and maintain spiritual fervor. Fruitfulness requires sincerity, consistency, and spiritual intensity. A believer must avoid fake service and maintain genuine passion for God. WHY YOU MUST MAINTAIN YOUR LOVE AND SPIRITUAL FERVOR 1. Satan Will Return 📖 Job 1; Luke 4:13; John 14:30 Even after seasons of victory, the enemy attempts to come back. Keeping your fire burning protects your fruitfulness. 2. There Are Higher Highs to Be Achieved 📖 Proverbs 4:18 Fruitfulness requires constant growth. You cannot reach higher levels of destiny without spiritual fire. 3. You Need New Grace Every Day 📖 Exodus 16:18; Lamentations 3:22–23; 2 Corinthians 4:16 Grace must be renewed daily. Yesterday’s fire cannot sustain today’s assignment. 4. Something Else Will Fill Your Heart 📖 Ephesians 5:18; Matthew 12:43–45 If you are not filled with the Spirit, something else will fill you. Emptiness leads to vulnerability and spiritual decline. 5. Spiritual Fervor Establishes God’s Gifts and Blessings 📖 Luke 22:39 Stability and consistency keep your gifts active. If you lose your fire, you lose your gifts. 6. Meditate on the Word 📖 Joshua 1:8 Fruitfulness comes through continuous meditation. Meditation fuels spiritual fire and growth. 7. Practice the Word You Learn Don’t only collect sermon notes — apply what you hear. Revelation without action produces no fruit. 8. Keep the Right Spiritual Environment 📖 Proverbs 13:20 Your environment influences your fire and your fruit. Wrong company kills zeal; right company increases spiritual glow. CONCLUSION  Fruitfulness requires fire. When a believer loses spiritual passion, they begin to lose their gifts, their strength, and their impact. To remain fruitful, you must keep your love alive, maintain your fervency, and renew your spiritual fire daily. Fruitfulness thrives in a burning heart. Fireless Christianity leads to fruitless Christianity.

TOPIC: Honor — A Master Key to the Life of Blessedness PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa THEME SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:1–2 "Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise." KEY POINTS 1. Honor Is a Master Key to Blessedness Honor is a divine key that unlocks a life of blessedness. It positions a person to experience God’s favour, ease, and supernatural help. 2. General Blessings and Uncommon Blessings Some blessings are general and available to all. But uncommon and extraordinary blessings flow through honor. Honor determines how much blessing a person can access. 3. Honor Can Change Situations in Your Life Honor has the power to shift situations. It can turn difficulties around and open doors that were previously closed. Honor changes levels. 4. Who Are You Honoring? Who Are You Following? The direction of your life is connected to the people you honor. The grace on those you follow flows into your life. Honor determines impartation and influence. 5. There Is Grace That Comes From Honoring Honor releases grace — grace flows from those you choose to honor. Dishonor blocks blessings; honor attracts them. You rise by the grace you honor. 6. Honoring Makes Things Easier Honor brings ease, wellness, and longevity. This is why Ephesians 6:1–2 says honor carries the promise “that it may be well with you.” Honor reduces struggle and brings divine speed. CONCLUSION Honor is a spiritual law that shapes the destiny of every believer. It unlocks blessings, releases grace, and makes life easier. Your results are connected to who you honor and who you follow. Honor is truly a master key to a life of blessedness.

TOPIC: Activating Your Set Time PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES: Psalm 102:13 KEY POINTS 1. Activating Your Set Time Psalm 102:13 teaches that God has a set time to favour His people. You must learn to pray: “God, look at me and favour me.” 2. Every Human Has Two Times a. Natural Chronological Time This is the normal time we live by: Hours Days Weeks Months The 24-hour cycle The 365 days of the year This is ordinary, natural time. b. Set Times (Kairos Moments) Kairos is the God-appointed time for manifestation. When you miss your Kairos, you fail to achieve or actualize destiny. There is a Kairos moment in everybody’s life and ministry. 3. Entering Your Place of Achievement You need a push to enter your Kairos moment. That supernatural push is what moves you into the place of achievement. Without stepping into Kairos, destiny remains unfulfilled. CONCLUSION Every believer has a natural time and a divinely appointed set time. To enter your set time, you must cry out for God’s favour and allow Him to push you into your Kairos moment—the moment where achievement and destiny become reality.

TOPIC: Understanding Christian Fruitfulness — Part 2 PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES: John 15:8 John 15:11 Matthew 5:16 Galatians 5:22–23 Philippians 1:11 Hebrews 12:11 Matthew 3:8 Acts 26:20 Hebrews 13:15 Colossians 1:10 Titus 3:8 Romans 1:13 Proverbs 11:30 Philippians 4:17 2 Corinthians 9:10 KEY POINTS (PART 2) 1. Understanding Fruit-Bearing (Recap) a. What Is “Fruit” in Scripture? Greek: Karpos (καρπός) — meaning: Result Outcome Visible evidence Advantage or profit “That which originates from something” Biblically, fruit represents the visible expression of an invisible life—the outward manifestation of the inward work of the Holy Spirit. 2. Results of Bearing Fruit Fruitfulness produces undeniable outcomes in the believer’s life: a. Fruit Glorifies God — John 15:8 Your fruit is evidence that God is working through you. b. Fruit Proves Discipleship — John 15:8 A true disciple is known by the results their life produces. c. Fruit Brings Personal Joy — John 15:11 Spiritual productivity leads to deep joy and fulfillment. d. Fruit Influences the World — Matthew 5:16 Your good works shine light and draw people to Christ. 3. Types of Fruits Every Christian Must Bear 1. The Fruit of the Spirit — Galatians 5:22–23 This fruit reflects the character of Christ in the believer. The nine traits include: Love Joy Peace Longsuffering Kindness Goodness Faithfulness Gentleness Self-control These are not nine different fruits, but one fruit with nine expressions. 2. The Fruit of Righteousness — Philippians 1:11; Hebrews 12:11 Produced through obedience to God and sensitivity to the Spirit. Righteousness leads to right living and right actions. 3. The Fruit of Repentance — Matthew 3:8; Acts 26:20 True repentance produces visible change. Turning away from sin is evidence of genuine salvation. 4. The Fruit of the Lips — Hebrews 13:15 The fruit of praise and thanksgiving. A believer who abides in Christ expresses gratitude continually. 5. The Fruit of Good Works — Colossians 1:10; Titus 3:8; Matthew 5:16 Good works reveal inward faith through outward actions. This fruit blesses other people and glorifies God. 6. The Fruit of Soul-Winning — Romans 1:13; Proverbs 11:30 Paul called his converts “fruit.” Every believer is expected to reproduce spiritually by winning souls. 7. The Fruit of Generosity — Philippians 4:17; 2 Corinthians 9:10 Giving is spiritual fruit credited to the believer’s account. Generosity reflects a heart of love, stewardship, and sacrifice. CONCLUSION (PART 2) Part 2 expands on what fruitfulness looks like in the Christian life. Fruit-bearing is not limited to character alone — it includes righteousness, repentance, worship, good works, soul-winning, and generosity. A fruitful Christian is one whose life produces consistent, visible, and spiritual results that glorify God and edify others.  

  TOPIC: Understanding Christian Fruitfulness — Part 1 PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES: John 15:1–8 Jeremiah 3:15 Matthew 25:14–30 KEY POINTS (PART 1) 1. Introduction to Christian Fruitfulness Fruitfulness is God’s expectation for every believer. God does not save us to remain barren or unproductive. Jesus introduces the foundation of fruitfulness in John 15:1, describing: Himself as the True Vine The Father as the Vine Dresser Believers as the branches The health and productivity of the branch depends entirely on its connection. 2. The Parable of the Talents — A Picture of Fruitfulness 📖 Matthew 25:14–30 Rev. Dr. Okronipa emphasized that this parable clearly shows God’s expectation for increase. Every servant was given something, and God expected them to produce results. Lessons from the parable: God gives resources, gifts, and opportunities to every believer. God expects multiplication—not stagnation. Failure to produce fruit is considered wickedness and laziness (Matt. 25:26). Fruitfulness is not a suggestion; it is a kingdom requirement. Fruit is the believer’s proof of faithfulness. 3. What Is “Fruit” in Scripture? Greek word: Karpos (καρπός) meaning: Result Outcome Advantage Profit “That which is produced by something within” Biblically, fruit is the visible expression of an invisible life—the outward manifestation of what the Holy Spirit is doing inside the believer. Fruitfulness is not outward activity; it is spiritual productivity that reflects Christ. 4. The Key to Fruitfulness: ABIDING Rev. Dr. Okronipa emphasized that fruitfulness is impossible without abiding. a. Abiding in Christ 📖 John 15:4–5 Christ is the source; without Him, the believer can do nothing. Abiding means: Staying connected to His Word Maintaining fellowship and obedience Living in dependency on His life A disconnected branch cannot produce fruit. b. Abiding in Church The church is the God-ordained environment for spiritual growth. Fruitfulness requires: Corporate fellowship Spiritual covering Consistent feeding Accountability A Christian cannot grow alone; growth happens in community. c. Abiding Under a God-Given Pastor 📖 Jeremiah 3:15 God assigns pastors to feed His people with knowledge and understanding. Pastoral ministry is part of God’s fruitfulness system. When a believer disconnects from their pastor, they disconnect from: Instruction Nourishment Guidance Spiritual stability You cannot produce fruit without the shepherd God has placed over your life. CONCLUSION (PART 1) Part 1 established the foundation of Christian fruitfulness: Fruitfulness is God’s expectation for every believer. Fruit is the visible evidence of Christ’s life in us. God demands increase, as shown in the parable of the talents. True fruitfulness comes only by abiding—in Christ, in the church, and under your God-given pastor. When the believer abides, fruit becomes natural, consistent, and undeniable.

TOPIC Four Forces That Oppose the Dominion Mandate PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Genesis 2:17 Genesis 3:1–6 Revelation 12:9 Ephesians 6:12–14 Hosea 4:6 John 1:14–18 2 Corinthians 4:6 1 Corinthians 15:31 KEY POINTS Introduction From the beginning, God gave man dominion—the authority to rule and represent Him on earth. However, this dominion faces strong opposition from spiritual, mental, and fleshly forces that seek to weaken man’s authority. To maintain dominion, the believer must identify and overcome these opposing forces through truth, knowledge, and the Spirit. 1. Satan and the Forces of Darkness 📖 Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:1; Revelation 12:9; Ephesians 6:12–14 Satan is the first and primary opposition to the dominion mandate. Through deception, rebellion, and manipulation, he caused man to lose the purity of dominion in Eden. The serpent introduced doubt — “Has God indeed said…?” — leading Adam and Eve to question divine instruction. The enemy’s goal is always to make you disobey the Word and disconnect from divine authority. Dominion cannot stand where disobedience and compromise exist. Believers must stand firm in the truth and put on the whole armor of God to resist the schemes of darkness. 2. Ignorance, False Doctrine, and Half-Truths 📖 Genesis 3:4; Hosea 4:6; John 1:14–18; 2 Corinthians 4:6 Ignorance is a major enemy of dominion. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6) Half-truths are more dangerous than lies—they give the appearance of wisdom but lack the power of revelation. False doctrine blinds the mind and keeps believers from walking in full authority. Until a believer is full of truth, their dominion cannot be discharged. The revelation of Christ (the Word made flesh) brings light; and “when light comes, dominion begins.” True knowledge of the Word opens the eyes and restores the believer’s authority. 3. Family Systems  📖 Genesis 3:6; 1 Corinthians 15:33 Family systems can also oppose dominion when they promote patterns of sin, unbelief, or disobedience. Eve’s influence on Adam in the Garden reveals how wrong counsel and pressure from loved ones can lead to disobedience. Some believers lose dominion because they conform to family traditions that contradict God’s Word. The believer must rise above ungodly influences, break negative patterns, and establish a new order through obedience to God. Dominion requires spiritual independence and the courage to stand for truth, even against familiar systems. 4. The Flesh 📖 Genesis 3:6; Romans 8:5–8; Galatians 5:16–17 The flesh—man’s carnal nature—is an internal enemy to dominion. Eve saw that the fruit was “good for food and pleasant to the eyes,” showing how desire can override divine instruction. The flesh resists spiritual discipline and obedience. Dominion is impossible when the flesh is in control. To walk in authority, one must crucify the flesh daily and live by the Spirit. Self-control, humility, and submission to God’s Word are keys to sustained dominion. CONCLUSION Dominion is God’s gift to every believer, but it must be protected and enforced. The four forces that oppose dominion—Satanic influence, ignorance, family systems, and the flesh—must be overcome through knowledge, truth, and spiritual discipline. To walk in dominion: Stay rooted in the Word. Grow in revelation and truth. Guard your heart from deception and compromise. Live by the Spirit, not by the flesh. When truth fills your heart, dominion flows naturally. Defend your mandate, overcome opposition, and reign in Christ. 🦅  

TOPIC The Wonderful Name of Jesus PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Philippians 2:10 Isaiah 9:6b John 14:13–14 Acts 3:6–16 Mark 16:17–18 KEY POINTS 1. The Power in the Name of Jesus The name of Jesus carries supreme authority and power in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. Philippians 2:10 — “At the name of Jesus every knee should bow.” Every demon, sickness, and power submits to the authority of that Name. The name of Jesus is not an ordinary title—it is a spiritual weapon and the identity of divine authority. The believer’s victory is hidden in the revelation and use of that Name. 2. The Revelation of the Name It is not enough to merely mention the name of Jesus; one must have revelation of what the Name represents. Many speak the name without results because they lack the understanding of its power and meaning. The revelation of the Name gives the believer confidence and dominion in spiritual warfare. To know the Name is to understand who Jesus is—the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6b). When you act from revelation, the Name works with precision and power. 3. Using the Name with Revelation The name of Jesus can produce miracles when used in alignment with faith and revelation. Every believer has been authorized to use the Name in prayer, healing, and deliverance. John 14:13–14 — Jesus said, “Whatever you ask in My Name, that will I do.” The disciples demonstrated this truth when Peter declared, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” (Acts 3:6) Using the Name without revelation produces words; using it with revelation produces power. 4. The Effects of the Name The Name of Jesus: Heals the sick Drives out demons Restores peace and order Brings salvation and victory The name works for those who believe and understand their authority in Christ. Mark 16:17–18 — “In My name they shall cast out devils… they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” 5. Walking in the Revelation of His Name The believer must learn to live consciously aware of the authority of the Name. When faced with opposition, declare the Name in faith, not fear. Maintain an active revelation of who Jesus is—your life, power, and victory depend on it. The revelation of the Name will make you bold, fearless, and unstoppable. CONCLUSION The name of Jesus is the believer’s greatest weapon and highest authority. It is not the repetition of the Name that brings power, but the revelation behind it. When you understand who Jesus is and what His Name represents, you can speak it with faith and see miracles, deliverance, and transformation. Every knee still bows, and every power still yields to the Wonderful Name of Jesus. Walk in that revelation and let His Name work wonders in your life. ✨

TOPIC Becoming a Strong Christian Through Meditation PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Ephesians 6:10 Joshua 1:8 Psalm 1:1–3 Psalm 119:97–100 Psalm 119:130 1 Chronicles 15:13 Romans 12:2 KEY POINTS 1. The Call to Spiritual Strength “Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.” (Ephesians 6:10) Strength in the Lord is not physical—it comes from revelation, knowledge, and conviction. Truth means reality—factual, spiritual realities that produce tangible and consistent results. You must come to a point where no knowledge can change your mind about God. Prayer must be rooted in revelation; pray from the Word, not from fear or emotion. 2. Meditation — The Key to Spiritual Growth Meditation opens the spirit man to greater depths and heights in the Spirit. It promotes breakthrough power and spiritual understanding. Joshua 1:8 — success and prosperity come from continual meditation on God’s Word. Psalm 119:97–100 — wisdom and understanding are products of meditation. What you think about shapes who you are becoming; your thoughts define your reality. If you want to be successful, ask: “Which Word of God am I living by?” 3. The Way of Serving God There is a way to serve God and a pattern to find results. 1 Chronicles 15:13 — divine results come when things are done according to divine order. Meditation brings life and light out of the Scriptures. If the Word of God doesn’t give you stability, challenges will bring you down. Meditation lays God’s Word in your heart like blocks, building a foundation that cannot be shaken. 4. Understanding Meditation Meditation is pondering on God’s Word until answers come. Learn to picture the Scriptures as you read them; let them form images in your heart. Psalm 1:1–3 — the one who meditates day and night becomes like a tree planted by rivers of water. Until you change the way you think, even prosperity will reject you—your mindset determines your manifestation. 5. Benefits of Meditation It brings light (understanding). Psalm 119:130 — “The entrance of thy words giveth light.” Light produces clarity, wisdom, and insight. When you learn, you begin to earn the results you seek. It transforms your life and habits. Romans 12:2 — transformation begins with the renewal of the mind. Meditation changes thought patterns, attitudes, and behavior. It establishes faith and produces results. Meditation gets the Word deep into your spirit. Out of the spirit comes light and understanding, which produces faith. When faith is expressed, it brings miracles and results. 6. A Call to Spiritual Maturity When you are hungry, don’t only look for fish—learn how to fish. Don’t chase temporary miracles; pursue understanding that produces lasting results. A strong Christian is one whose life is built on the Word, revelation, and meditation. CONCLUSION Becoming a strong Christian requires more than prayer—it requires depth in the Word through meditation. Meditation makes the Word alive, stable, and effective in your spirit. It brings light, produces faith, and transforms your life from within. Learn to think, speak, and act from the revelation of God’s Word. For when your spirit is full of light, no darkness can overpower you. Meditate your way into strength, success, and victory in Christ. 💡✨  

TOPIC FAITH FOR DOMINION| PEC 2025 GRAND FINALE PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Genesis 1:26 Romans 5:17 Joel 2:28–32 Psalm 8:4–6 Ephesians 2:6 Luke 10:19 KEY POINTS 1. Dominion Is the Core of the Believer’s Identity Every believer was created with a mandate to rule, reign, and represent God on earth. Dominion is not optional—it is the believer’s original design and responsibility. “Your significance and value in life are tied to your dominion mandate.” Until a believer understands and walks in dominion, their full potential remains hidden. Dominion is about managing and influencing the world according to divine order. 2. The True Meaning of Dominion Dominion is not ownership—all things belong to God. Dominion is not control over people, but governance through love and stewardship. True dominion expresses itself through: Influence — shaping environments for God’s glory. Stewardship — managing divine resources faithfully. Capacity — developing strength to handle divine responsibility. Dominion is not about pride or power—it is about reflecting God’s character and authority in humility. 3. The Faith and Spirit of Dominion Dominion operates by faith—believing and acting on God’s Word with confidence. Faith gives believers the boldness to take charge and enforce divine promises. The Spirit of dominion empowers believers with wisdom, creativity, and authority. Poverty, fear, and limitation have no place in the dominion life. A believer walking in faith for dominion becomes a channel of divine influence and transformation. 4. Dominion Is About Effective Management Dominion is responsibility—faithfully handling what God has entrusted to you. Managing your time, gifts, finances, and opportunities determines your level of dominion. Poor management leads to loss of authority; wise management multiplies influence. Dominion is maintained through obedience, discipline, and excellence. 5. Dominion Is a Lifestyle of Faith Dominion must reflect in every sphere of life—family, business, ministry, and society. Faith for dominion is expressed through everyday obedience and persistence. God calls His people to live as ambassadors of His Kingdom in the earth. Dominion is not a moment—it’s a mindset, a culture, and a continuous walk of faith. CONCLUSION The Grand Finale of PEC 2025 was a prophetic celebration of faith and dominion in full display. Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa reminded believers that true dominion flows from faith in God’s Word, the Spirit’s power, and wise stewardship. Believers were charged to live beyond fear and limitation, walking boldly in their identity as kings and priests. Many left the convocation not just inspired but empowered to live by faith for dominion—ruling and reigning with Christ in every aspect of life. Faith is the key to dominion. Walk in it, live by it, and let the world see the Kingdom through you.   

TOPIC The Revelation of “I AM” PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Exodus 3:13–14 Philippians 4:19 Psalm 23:1 Numbers 23:19 Acts 1:8 Malachi 3:6 John 8:58 KEY POINTS 1. The Meaning of “I AM” “I AM” reveals God’s eternal, self-existent nature — He has no beginning and no end. God is unchanging, constant in His nature, and dependable in all situations. The name “I AM” expresses God’s limitless sufficiency — He is everything His people will ever need. When God said, “I AM THAT I AM,” He declared Himself as the ever-present One who is always enough. 2. The Revelation of “I AM” The revelation of “I AM” is a revelation of identity and relationship. It reminds believers that God is not distant or abstract — He is personally involved in the lives of His children. “I AM” means: Whatever you need, I will be that to you. This revelation calls believers to walk in faith, confidence, and intimacy with God. 3. What “I AM” Represents God’s Divine Provision “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1) God provides for every need — physical, spiritual, emotional, and material. Philippians 4:19: “My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” God’s Divine Power God is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19). His power enables believers to live victoriously and witness boldly (Acts 1:8). The name “I AM” carries authority and power over every circumstance. God’s Divine Purpose Everything God does flows from His divine purpose. His identity as “I AM” aligns His people with destiny and direction. Understanding “I AM” helps believers to trust God’s process and timing. 4. The Impact of the Revelation The revelation of “I AM” stirs true worship and strengthens the believer’s faith. It brings peace and confidence, knowing that God is sufficient in every situation. It deepens intimacy with God, reminding us that He is present, powerful, and personal. There is no reason for fear or discouragement when “I AM” is with you. CONCLUSION The revelation of “I AM” is a call to know God beyond religion — to know Him as the All-Sufficient One. He is your provider, your power, and your purpose. Whatever life demands, God declares: “I AM that I AM.” Therefore, live in confidence, rest in His sufficiency, and walk in unshakable faith — for the Great I AM is always enough!   

TOPIC How to Provoke Miracles 2 [Things That Deny People of Their Miracles] PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Mark 6 Mark 5:1–43 Proverbs 4:5 Romans 10:17 Luke 1:45 2 Corinthians 4:13 John 16:24 John 3:1–2 Luke 8:39 Acts 10:38 2 Chronicles 20:20 KEY POINTS 1. Understanding Miracles Miracles are real and represent the manifestation of God’s power at work in human affairs. They are the outcome of the working of God’s Word, suspending or overriding natural and man-made laws. Miracles demonstrate that God’s power is superior to every limitation of nature or circumstance. 2. The Power of Teaching Teaching brings insight, understanding, instruction, and direction — all of which create an atmosphere for miracles. When faith is built through the Word, the supernatural becomes natural. 3. Why Miracles Are Needed To restore creation to its original order. To destroy the works of the devil and set people free. To bring joy and hope to many. To cause others to believe in God. To bring glory to God, revealing His love and presence among men. 4. How to Provoke Miracles By hearing God’s Word — faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17). By declaring God’s Word — your confession activates divine power. By taking action in faith — obedience releases results. By believing in the man of God — connecting to the anointing upon God’s servant brings manifestation (2 Chronicles 20:20). 5. Things That Deny People of Their Miracles Lack of faith — without faith, it is impossible to receive. Lack of knowledge — ignorance blocks access to the supernatural. Lack of application of faith — hearing alone is not enough; faith must be acted upon. Lack of aggression — spiritual passivity causes people to miss divine moments. Lack of consistency — many stop believing too soon. Being overly sensual or emotional — focusing on feelings instead of the Word. Failure to press through — miracles require persistence and determination. Examples: The woman with the issue of blood pressed through the crowd until she touched Jesus’ garment and was healed. Blind Bartimaeus refused to be silenced and received his sight. “You must train yourself that whenever you enter an atmosphere of miracles, if there’s only one miracle, it must be yours.” “There is help for everybody — but not everyone will access it.” Therefore, take your miracle by faith and by force. CONCLUSION Miracles are a vital part of the Christian life — a demonstration of God’s power, love, and faithfulness. Every believer can provoke a miracle through faith, action, and persistence. Do not allow doubt, fear, or inconsistency to rob you of what God has already made available. Like the woman with the issue of blood and Blind Bartimaeus, press through and take your miracle!

TOPIC The Dynamics of the Dominion Mandate PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Genesis 1:26–28 Romans 8:19 Ephesians 2:10 Isaiah 60:1–3 KEY POINTS 1. The Dominion Mandate Is Our Identity The dominion mandate is not a prayer topic but a believer’s identity. Every child of God already carries divine power and capacity to influence and transform their environment. Dominion is not something to be requested; it is something to be walked in. God’s intention is for believers to rise and function from their position of divine authority. 2. The Dynamics of Dominion Operate Through Prophetic Action Dominion is activated through prayer, prophecy, and faith declarations. As believers pray and declare, destinies are realigned, mysteries are unveiled, and lives are transformed. The prophetic word unlocks divine realities and releases heaven’s authority on earth. The believer’s mouth is a tool of dominion—words carry power to create, shift, and establish. 3. Dominion Expresses God’s Creative Nature God is still releasing creative solutions through His people. Dominion includes the grace to innovate, build, and bring divine ideas to solve world problems. Believers are called to be partners with God in creation, manifesting wisdom and excellence in every field. “God is not out of ideas — He’s looking for willing vessels to birth divine innovations.” 4. Dominion Is a Continuous Journey Dominion is not passive or static; it requires spiritual growth and consistency. No matter one’s current level, God continues to call His people higher in grace, depth, and dominion. The more a believer yields to God, the more he operates in supernatural authority. True dominion is a life of ongoing ascent — from glory to glory. CONCLUSION Day 6 of PEC 2025 was a night of prophetic dominion and divine empowerment. Through worship, prayer, and prophecy, believers were reminded that they are born to rule and created to reign. Dominion is both identity and responsibility — to think like God, speak like God, and create solutions for the world. Dominion is not passive; it is prophetic, creative, and continuous. Rise and walk in your mandate — you are a carrier of dominion!
