“Whatever you ask in my name , that I will do” (John 14:13) Prayer links you with God’s true purposes, for you and for the world. It not only brings the blessings of God’s will to your own personal life, it brings you the added blessing of being in step with God’s plan. Prayer also help you in ways you will never fully understand this side of eternity , it’s makes you partners with God in what He is doing in the world. God works through your prayers. The model prayer  Jesus gave us concludes with “thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory for ever” ( Matthew 6:13) .  Brothers and sisters remember that we must seek God’s glory in our prayers  and not just our own selfish desires. If we are to have our prayers answered, we must be willing to give God the glory when He acts - no matter what the results. Our Lord said to His disciples “whatever you ask in my name , that I will do , that the fathers may be glorified in the son” ( John 14:13) May God bless  you, guide you and protec

  Joel 3:16 says : The Lord will be a shelter for his people.  At a time like this many are clinging to the wreckage they have made of their lives, thinking they have nowhere else to turn . Others cling to false ideologies or deceptive words, others  cling to possessions or pleasures, but what  if they  are clinging to something that is sinking.  But my brothers and sisters this day I believe that thousands of people yourself  included still find refuge from the storm of life by your  living faith in a living God who  is alive in you .    Turning to God in an hour such as this in  the history of the world is a relief.  Many of us today  have found that faith in Christ is more than adequate for the pressure of this time.  As a true believer in Jesus Christ  you are  not just cling and hope , you know that with Christ , you are secure forever . Because you put your trust and hope in Him only .  God bless you.

“The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭121:5‬ ‭ In order for a tree or any plant to grow and bear fruit , it’s  seed must first be planted in the ground and die.  In order for a spiritual fruit to appear in your  life, you must first be planted in the word of God and then die to self .  In the face of chastening, adversity and affliction, Gods word nourishes  your life and fruit begins to appear. But it doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time and patience.  Joseph would never have been of use to God had he not been sold into slavery  by brothers who hated him, and then wrongly accused by Potiphar, who put him in prison. Even after he told pharaoh’s cupbearer he would be restored to the king’s court and asked him to tell pharaoh of his unjust imprisonments, Joseph had to wait two more years for his release from prison.  My Brothers and Sisters as you wait upon the Lord, He May sometimes seem slow in coming to help you , but He  never comes too l

“Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:10‬ ‭   Some of us at this moment in time because of  fear we are unable to sleep, and paralysed by fear . We live in a world shaken by fear , apprehension, and anxiety. This morning ask yourself what is the answer to this stifling fear? After Jesus had been put to death, His disciples huddled in fear behind closed door, filled with uncertainty and despair. But suddenly they found themselves in the presence of a living Lord, and at His first words their fears disappeared: “peace be to you “ (Luke 24:36) .  This time the answer to our individual  fear is found in personal  faith in the living, glorified Lord. And the  answer to collective fear is a corporate faith in the living and glorified Lord. This day brothers and sisters know this  that we do not worship a dead Christ, we worship a risen Christ, who has broken the power of sin and death  and is alive

You,brethren are not in darkness, you are all sons and daughters of light -  1 Thessalonians 5:4-5. As a born again Christians you see life not as confused, meaningless as the world see , but as something planned and purposeful. Your  eyes  have been opened to spiritual truth. In Christ first sermon at Nazareth, He said that one of the reasons He had come on Earth was to preach “recovery of the sight to the blind” ( Luke 4:18) . By nature we are all spiritually blind because of sin. But the spirit of God helps us see our sin and our helplessness and show us God redeeming Grace in Christ. The spirit reveal the truth of Jesus declaration “ I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not work in darkness, but have the light of Life” ( John 8:12) .  The bible call you and me “children of the light and of the day  ( 1 Thessalonians 5:5) , because it pleased God to share  His mysteries and secrets with You . You are no longer in darkness, you know where you came from , you know why

 “I am with you always , to the very end of age” Mathew 28:20 I want you  all to know this  Easter Monday morning that these words are Christ’s promise to all His disciples, and it is a promise that is marvellously inclusive. No situation is excluded: no challenges is omitted. These  words that  the Lord says means you can count on Christ’s presence not only every day but every moment of every day in your life, whatever may be your circumstances . The fact of His presence  there can be no doubt, for His word cannot fail. What you need is to cultivate the sense of His presence, every day , every hour , every moment.  This happens as we speak to Him in worship and prayer, and listen to Him speak to us through His word, the Bible.  May God bless you all . And  as you celebrate the rising Christ, remember His blood was shed for your sins in Calvary in His crucifixion. And the stone  was rolled away on the tomb  for him to ascend to his father after three days for your redemption and freedo
