THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD, REGION 13

DECEMBER GENERAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE (04/12/2022)

TOPIC:
IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE
TEXT:
JOHN 14:1-3
MINISTERING:
PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

INTRODUCTION:
House is a permanent resident, something solid, something that is a land mark, an address. A house could be a family Genesis 7:1.
On deeper scale a house can mean your root, your village Genesis 24:34. A house can mean a compound that is collection of houses that is members of the same family building their houses together.
When Jesus said there are many mansions it means collection of houses Romans 8:29.

A mansion is a house with many rooms. If God opens your eyes to the mansion you have in heaven things that will take you out of the way will no longer exist 16:26. The mud used in building the mansions is pure gold Revelation 21:21.

There is something great waiting for you in Heaven.
If there are many mansions, why does Jesus want to go and prepare?
 Many does not mean enough.
 Reserving a place is talking about how close and how important.
 There are levels of intimacy: how close will you be with Jesus Christ when you leave this earth? Because how close you will be is determined by your level of intimacy with Him.

As a landlord is Jesus living in your house? How comfortable is Jesus in your house?
How close you are to Jesus will determine how close you will be with Him when you get to Heaven Revelation 22:10-12.

There is idea of reservation when things are many but not enough. Is relationship with Christ on earth a guarantee that there is a reservation of mansion for you in Heaven?

If you close your eyes on earth and Jesus is not standing by your side to lead you back home, there is a big issue. Stephen saw Jesus standing while he was about to die, Jesus was standing to take Stephen home.
CONCLUSION: Make your way right God now.

FINISHING STRONG FOR A GLORIOUS BEGINNING

TOPIC:

FINISHING STRONG FOR A GLORIOUS BEGINNING.

TEXT:

JEREMIAH 29:11

MINISTERING:

PASTOR LESLIE DABOR

INTRODUCTION:

God thought has an expected end for everyone but until you pray it will remain a thought. Between a beginning and an ending is a fight. Nothing ends well without a fight. Receive the grace and anointing to fight and keep the faith.

If you must win, you must endure hardness 2Timothy 4:7.

Unfortunately because people don’t know their God, they follow the language of men. It takes power to refuse nonsense. The authority to change things is with God. Receive the grace to fight the good fight. But our fight is not canal Ephesians 6:12. There is a way you pray, you become principal of principalities. Anyone that wants to prevail must fight Genesis 30:8 (because Jacob wrestled and prevailed his name was changed to Israel).

If your mind is made up something will change, when you jump out of the ring you have loss the fight 2Corinthians 10: 4.

If you want to end 2022 strong and enter 2023 gloriously you must enter with a fight.

One of the functions of a stronghold is to challenge you into a fight, that is a fight in prayer. The book of exodus 15:3, 14:14 tells us that God is a fighter and He will fight for you only if you engage Him in prayers.

Prayers

I will make it to the end, no power will stop me in Jesus Mighty name.
I receive grace to fight the good fight in Jesus name.
I drink the blood of Jesus and neutralize every poison in my body in Jesus name.
Psalms 102:20 powers thirsty for my blood and that of my family members be intoxicated t death and destruction in Jesus.

Spirit of Babel visit the camp of every demonic assembly and destroy their plans, scatter them with the spirit of confusion.

WORSHIP THE KING OF GLORY

MINISTERING:

PASTOR AMOS TUGBOBO

TEXT:

PROVERB 14:28.

TOPIC:

WORSHIP THE KING OF GLORY.

INTRODUCTION: The king of a village cannot be compared with the king of a town, the king of a town cannot be compared with the king of a city. They are different in glory and level of people they are rule over.

It is important to know that our God is the I AM THAT I AM.

God will be unto you what you say He is, your life is a reflection of your attitude towards God 2Samuel:22:22-26.

God will reward you according to the way you have served Him, according to the way you have responded to Him.

A king is someone who has rule over your life Judges 8:23. Anyone that God cannot rule over He destroy them.

Glory is everything that makes you who you are, and God is the giver of everything. Everything you have is given to you by God.

HOW DO WE WORSHIP GOD?

Be available and obedient: In God’s service our availability is the first service. No matter how rich or talented you are, if you are not available you are not useful. Being available and obedient to God is a way of worship. To worship means to please someone, God is pleased when we are available and obedient to Him.
Bring more people to worship God: you must honour God by increasing the number of people available to worship God. Bringing more people to worship God brings honour to Him.

One of the secrets of miracle, signs and wonders is crowd 1Samuel 2:30. There is no way God will see multitude and not be moved. If you honour God by coming to His presence and bringing people with you God will honour you in all life endeavor Psalm 2:11-12.

CONCLUSION: To worship means to please someone, God is pleased when we are available and obedient to Him.

To worship the King is to please is to please the king by been available, obedient and evangelizing Luke 10:40-42. Worship comes before work/service.

BEING RELEVANT IN A GENERATION

MINISTERING: SISTER NANCY OVENSERI

TEXT: ECCLESIATES 3:1-2

TOPIC: BEING RELEVANT IN A GENERATION

INTRODUVTION: Being relevant begin from the day we are born and it outlive us. We must not just be relevant when we are alive but our relevancy should outlive us.

No matter your age, you can still be relevant and your relevant should outlive you.

What does it mean to be relevant?

To be relevant means to be closely connected to what is happening around you. As a believer, you are not to be connected alone, you must know God.

Meaning of generation:

Generation means all the people existing the same time.

What does it mean to be relevant?

To be relevant is to be closely connected to what is been done at a particular period of time.

Why do we need to be relevant?

We need to be in order to glorify the name of the Lord Mathew 5:16.
It makes men sought after us; when you are relevant it makes men to seek for you Daniel 10:25.
It makes you stand out; being outstanding is a general thing but to stand out is different. It means to be singled out among the outstanding.
You become a blessing and a covering to others; Isaac enquired of the Lord in the land of Gerar and the Lord asked him to stay in the land, Isaac obeyed and he was relevant in the land.
How do I become relevant?
Know God: Daniel 11:32b, some of us compromise and choose to be ordinary because we do not know the God we serve. Knowing God is big, you first know God by giving your life to Christ. There is a big different between going to church, working for God and knowing God.
Study the scripture: 2Timothew 2:15. Daniel understood by the books. It is beyond waiting for somebody to read it, you need to know God for yourself and God must know you. There must be a relationship between you and God.
Being broken: Psalm 51:17, Psalm 34:18, acknowledging that you are nothing without God.
Avoid distractions: Mathew 24:12, not that people want to be cold but because there are many distraction. Do not be distracted.
Diligence: how much of God you know determines your relevance in a generation. Is not a matter of age, as parents can God say about you as God said of Abraham that you will teach your children after you in the way of the Lord?

It is not when you start, it is what you do; it is not number of years, it’s the quality life you live.

Conclusion: what it takes to be relevant is the God factor inside of you. Being relevant is beyond your family background.

Prayer: Father fill me afresh, touch me once again in Jesus name Amen.

SERVE THE LORD

MINISTERING:

PASTOR GBENGA BABALOLA

TEXT:

ACTS 20:12-38

TOPIC:

SERVE THE LORD

INTRODUCTION:

One of the primary purposes of God for man is to serve Him. God is always looking for people who will sold out to Him in be serving Him.

Request are different from request, there are some request you count as a privilege.

God is making request that you should serve Him, He is making request that you should worship and reverence Him.

Anywhere you find yourself God has positioned you there to serve Him Col.3: 17&23. Whatever you do, do it consciously as if you are rendering service unto the Lord.

If you have been attending church for years and you have not join the work force, you need to check yourself and ask yourself how I have been serving God. Galatians 5: 10 you are not to please men but God.

HOW DO I SERVE GOD?

Serve God with all humility of mind: Where you are today is not because you are relevant but by God’s grace. Acts 20:19, 1Cor. 15:9-10,2Cor. 3:5.
Serve God with focus: have something in mind that you want to achieve. Ephesian 3:17 Apostle Paul was focused on teaching people to know Christ deeply. Colossians 2: 6-7 when you are serving God you are to focus.
Serve God with passion: Be passionate with whatever you are doing wherever you are. When you are filled with passion, passion will drive you anywhere; the passion will help you to overcome discouragement. Acts 20:31, Gal. 4:19 when you are passionate about a certain goal, you will get result.
Serve God without distraction: Acts 20:24, Heb. 12:1, 2Cor. 4:8-11, Phil. 3:13-14.

CONCLUSION: How are you serving the Lord? Remember, if men refuse to serve Him, He will raise stones. God can never be stranded.

BREAKTHROUGH

Minister: Pastor Gbenga Babalola

TOPIC: BREAKTHROUGH

TEXT: James 5:16-18, Jeremiah 33:1-3

Breakthrough means major advancement when you are able to overcome obstacles on your way. Breakthrough is a combination of two words; breaking and going through. You may be breaking and unable to go through. At every point in time there are obstacles that stand along the way, until you are able to overcome the barriers, you will not break through.

THINGS THAT BLOCKS THE WAY OF A MAN

1. YOKE: Yoke is a barrier that will not allow you to go forward in life. Genesis 27:39-40, Genesis 32:24,26-28, Jeremiah 28:11.

The yoke will not be broken until you have to understand that it has to be broken and cry to God for help.

2. MIGHTY MEN: These are people like Goliath, Pharaoh standing on your way to greatness. Job 34:24, Isaiah 6:1, Psalms 2:2-4,9.

3. WEAPONS PF THE ENEMY: These are the things that the enemy uses to fight against you. Enemies are enemies because they have what it takes to fight against you. Psalms 46:9, Jeremiah 51:21.

4. THE ALTAR OF THE ENEMY: Altar is where there is a meeting between human and the divinity. Judges 6:25-27. Take away every altar in your life and family that is contrary to that of God for you to experience breakthrough.

PRAYER POINTS:

Father let any form of yoke upon my life and my family be broken by the blood of Jesus.
Father every yoke upon my life fire of God consume them in the name of Jesus.
Anyone that is calling himself mighty man Almighty God clear them off in Jesus name.

MINISTERING:

PASTOR GBENGA BABALOLA

TOPIC:

FIRE ON THE ALTAR

TEXT:

LEVITICUS 6:12-13, EXODUS 19:18, 24:17.

INTRODUCTION: Where ever you see God, you see fire there Exodus 24:17. Any child of God that does not carry fire he/she is playing with his/her life. The merciful God is also the God of fire.

Types of fire in the life of man

Quenched fire: This is when the fire is no longer there, that is no more fire. There was fire before, but now the fire is gone. At this stage you commit sin as you like without giving it a second thought 1Samuel 23:14, 27:1.
Dying fire: This is when the fire is going down, you are no more zealous about the things of God. At this stage you get used to God, the fire dissipates and God begin to remind you how you started 1Samuel2:27-36, 3:18. When God begin to remind you how you started, you are in soup.
Burning fire: This is when the fire is burning at this stage you are zealous for God acts 21:11-14. When the fire is burning you are ready to do anything for God 1Corinthians 12:15.
Fiery flaming fire: This is an advance stage of the burning fire. This kind of fire radiates ever where you go Daniel 3:22. This is the kind of fire God wants us to have Esther 6:13.

PRAYER POINTS:

Father, send your fresh fire upon me in Jesus name.
Father let your fire fall upon our churches in Jesus name.
Father everything you have not planted in my life, family, business, and ministry let your fire destroy them in Jesus name.
Father, send your fresh fire upon our altar in Jesus name (Amen).
