SUNDAY SERMON APRIL 9th 2017

Message Title:-

MISUSE OF DIVINE GRACE
Or,
MISUSE OF HEAVENLY GRACE.

This season we are in a season called Easter period.
When the blanket of grace was spread from the Cross to the entire world.

God has redeemed us from the hands of the law.
He made it plain that being born again and crucified to the Cross,
The spirit of the Son that gives liberty to elements of this world is in you.

-Christ in me,the hope of glory.

With this,it is expected of you to be free from all this beggarly elements of this world.
And this is where many believers are missing it.

What are the elements of this world you are turning to again that makes the grace vain?
That’s what we are looking into today.

Text:-
2 Peter 1:2
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the “KNOWLEDGE” of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

So let us look at the beggarly elements of this world.

They are the 10 commandments of this world:-
-ways of this Worlds
-behaviour
-ideas
-ignorance of the Word
-little Faith in the Word
-not discerning His ways
-easily influenced by bad doctrines
-blindness of this world
-lust of this world
-i don’t cares of this world
The flesh is persecuting the Spirit.

-As long as the heir,born again
-As long as the heir,hope of tomorrow
-As long as the heir,the Elect,

Is still but a child,the spirit of servanthood/slavery makes them bound and not free to exercise their princely role.

That is why our text is talking to us about 2 important thing about grace:
-knowledge of God
-knowledge of Christ.
If you understand these 2,
Grace and peace is yours.

A man who walks in Divine Grace ought to know what he must do or dont.

There is an expectation on you,i.e
Stand still and see the glory of God

A new birth is seen in you by the smelling from your cologne of holiness and faith.
1 Cor 2:14
The natural man can never understand the things of the spirit.

In Daniel Chapter 3,
We read the story of the 3 Hebrews.
That was an example of men who walks in grace.

They have crucified themselves to the cross.
He has promised,
“I will always be with you when you pass through fire.

They are conscious of that.
And when they need Him,
He appeared as the 4th man in the fire with them.

But that was not the most fascinating action they took.
It was their stand.
-if we die,we die.

Daniel 3:17-18 KJV
[17] If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. [18] But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. …

The rest is history.
Am praying for someone today:-
Power to Recognise whom you are in Jesus,envelope you mightily.

On the other side,
Judges 16,
Is the story of Samson.

Samson life shows a man who misuse the grace.
“I will go out as before”
That is their quality.

Doing evil and expecting heaven to be there for them.
You cannot eat your cake and still have it.

Beware of the leaven of the pharisees
Can we continue to live in sin,disobedience and wish the heavenly grace abounds?
Far from it.

Our God is not a God of confusion.
A man can fall from grace simply when the consciousness of sin is no more.

When guilty conscience disappear,
When your conscience is dead,
There is no more grace.

Can you eat your cake and still have it?
You have to release something for to keep Other.

For your salvation and redemption of your soul,Jesus died for you on the Cross.
He released His life to save yours.

Many want to be seen as believers,but they dont want to sacrifice their friendship with the world.

Bring your Isaac to the altar today.
That you loved most,is being asked of you by the Lord.

Sacrifice that lusting,
Sacrifice your illicit affairs,
Sacrifice your love of, parties,Owambes, to His devotion.

When will you provide for your heavenly home?
Jacob asked this strange question that am asking you today?

-Maybe when you are 70,
-Maybe When everthing you are selling is no more valuable.

Beloved,
pumping up the breast will stop one day.
It will not look attractive again to your admirers.

When will you provide for your heavenly home?
-maybe when your skin will go on ‘conkurs’,am saying early pension.
-maybe when you have the 3rd leg.

Am praying for you,
You will not realise when it is too late.

Tell your neighbour,
Time Waits for no man.
What if heaven decides to call you home.
What will you do again when your toes are pointing up.

Alexandra the great asked for his hands to be free out of his coffin to show the world he came to this world with nothing,and he is going home with Notting.

Look at the word of Father Abraham to the rich ruler.
In Luke chapter 16:25

He was telling him:
“Remember”

-when the preacher was speaking to you and you are hating him for speaking the truth.
-remember ,when you decided to join the world instead of hearkning to the Lord.
-remember when heaven anoints you for to save humanity and you are saying it’s not yet time.

Where you are going,
There is no more grace.
Even before you depart,you might have worked yourself out of grace.

You can still redeem your life
Kill that horrible thing called flesh today.
Allow total obedience for heaven to have his way.
And you will now see,what others are running for,will be running after you.

Grace is God in me,the hope of my glory.
Not otherwise.
Not glorifying yourself and saying the grace is there.

SUNDAY SERMON APRIL 2,2017

Message Title:-
DO NOT GO BACK TO EGYPT.
****************************
Today, by God’s grace,
We are looking into your New year resolutions.

Have you forgotten,
That today is the first Sunday in the 4th month.
You have to do a simple Evaluation.
Take stock of your life.

The bible encouraged us not to go the way of the world.
There is a day of taking closer look at your life and see if you are in tune or not.

Our God take stocks of events also.
Job chapter 1 :6 says,
[6] Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord , and Satan came also among them.

It is a dangerous thing when we sing :-
“Count your blessings name them one-by-one”,
And we are not doing so.
Text:-
Matthew 5:22–26.
Jeremiah 42 :1-17.

Dealing with yourself-
Taking stock of your life in this 1st quarter.
Jer 14:10 says we loved to wander,and refrained not our feet.

-wandering from your plan
-being distracted by the fake elements of this world.
-allowing the unprofitable to attract you.

You may be your own enemy,
Until you realise this,
things may not move.

Galatians 6:1
(OVERTAKEN BY THEIR WEAKNESS).

YOUR NEW YEAR RESOLUTION –
Do you still remember?
Can you remmember them?

Conduct allowed is conduct approved,
The conduct you allowed is what you condoned.

That’s why one proverb says:-
Birds of the same feather fly together.
Negative conduct you allowed overpowers you.

What is your own?
Let us take Cursing for example,
Your own “New Year Resolution” is to stop cursing.

You don’t know when you begin it again,
That third finger in the air,
(fuck you sign)
And we have only finished the 3rd month.

We are breeding a generation that does not keep Values.
That Crossover night is an ALTAR NIGHT.

You invited heaven to come down,
Exchange takes place.
-take my ashes,
-I accept the beauties of heaven.

The beauties are waiting for your own condition to be released.
But,but,you are still clinging to the ashes.
How will exchange happens?
In Gen 28:21-22,
Jacob was telling his people about his vows to The Lord and how it is ‘important’ to remmember them.

Your Personal vow or covenant-
I have decided,to follow Jesus,no turning back.
Am going to serve Him.

WHERE ARE YOU STANDING IN THAT NEW YEAR RESOLUTION?
1Cor 10:12-13
“He who think he stands,take heed,lest he fall”.

Everybody that falls,
falls into the same thing.

Your uniqueness is in your mind.
“Am being tempted”,
Tell your neighbor,
-In every temptation their is always a way out.

But:-
FLESH IS WILLING TO GO BACK TO EGYPT.

Weakness you don’t deal with now will deal with you sooner or later.
It smells

Have you noticed,
That bad news spread faster than good news.
Bad things smells faster.

Every year,
Many makes NEW YEAR promises,
-I will not drink,
-I will not hang around with bad friends.
-I will serve God with all my heart.

3 months have passed,
-are you making progress or otherwise?
-Is flesh taking over gradually?

Apostle Paul cried out loudly:-
Romans 7:24-
“who shall deliver me from the hand of Flesh”.

ROMANS 15:1
Those of you who are strong MUST be able to help those who are down.

God is not a Communist,
Some run with lots of people,
Some can run with the little.

NEW ARRIVALS HOLINESS MINISTRIES is not interested in your guilt offering,
We are interested in the manifestation of the WORD OF GOD,in your life.

So,if you are here today,
with the sole aim of Buying God with your offering,
and no change in your heart,

I declare this unto you,
IT IS A FUTILE EFFORT.

PSALM 40:6&8
Blessing of God that add no sorrow to it can only be achieved through PURE OBEDIENCE.

Exodus 34:12
[12] Take heed to thyself,
lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a SNARE in the midst of thee:
Friendship of the world is the enemy of God.
Take heed ,who you hang around with,
He or she may be a snare to your RESOLUTION.

Gal 6:1
Many does not plan to fail or fall,
They don’t plan for it,they get OVERTAKEN.

Those who are Spiritual,help others.
Counsel your friends in the weakness they are battling with.
Counsel your neighbor on that thing you noticed they are struggling with.

Help others to Get rid of hindrances like :-
-human ability,
-self righteousness,
-confidence in flesh,
-trying to produce your own after your own righteousness.

Lastly,
Read with me:
Colossians 3 from verse 5-17.
