The Battle Is In The Mind (Part 3): Transformation ~ Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor

Topic: A Dire Transportation [November 26, 2016]

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind….” (Romans 12:2).

To be transformed means, your thought pattern, ideas, beliefs and the way you do things are radically changed. In other words, your mind is re-engineered and re-reprogrammed, or better still, your mind is brainwashed with the word of God. Elisha is an example of a man whose mind was the store house of the word of God, a man who believes in God.

In II Kings 6, there was no food in the land of Samaria. In the midst of that problem, Elisha never failed in his mind to believe in God. In 11 Kings 7:1, The LORD spoke to the mind of Elisha. Elisha believed what the lord said and went to tell the people what the lord had told him. Elisha said: “Hear ye the word of the Lord; by this time tomorrow, food will be surplus”. Gods best for your life is hidden in your ability to believe the word of God in your mind no matter how unnatural it sounds. It does not matter how it comes. A whole nation was speaking of death; Elisha spoke life. They spoke hopelessness, Elisha spoke hope. They spoke fear, he spoke faith. They spoke defeat, he spoke victory. They spoke failure, he spoke success. They were crying; Elisha was laughing.

You are the opposite of the world, you are not conformed, but transformed. You are peculiar. You are different.. The word of God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” People who have sound minds are people who have transformed minds. When your mind is transformed, you are a different human being, you see, hear, think, believe and act differently. Hold on to your God like Elisha. When the devil shows you the ugly side of things, always see the good promises of God as declared in the scriptures. In other words, only see the victory which God has assured you in spite of the battles around you.

FURTHER READING: Psalm 92:12,15.
PRAYER/CONFESSION: Empower me Lord to live a transformed life. Let Your perfect peace reign in my life in Jesus name. Amen
WORDS OF WISDOM: There is a promise for every problem.

A Dire Transportation ~ Pastor William Kumuyi

Topic: A Dire Transportation [November 26, 2016]

Text: Isaiah 27:1-13

 Key Verse:“By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up” (Isaiah 27:9).

Penal transportation is the deporting of convicted criminals to a penal colony. Examples include transportation of convicts by France to ‘Devil’s Island’ and by the UK to its colonies in the Americas, from the 1610s through the American Revolution in the 1770s and then to Australia between 1788 and 1868. The penal system which saw more than 40, 000 convicted criminals sent to America and about 200, 000 to Australia required the convicts to work on government projects such as road construction, building works and mining, or assigned to free individuals as unpaid labour.

Women were expected to work as domestic servants and farm labourers. A convict who had served part of his time might apply for a ticket of leave permitting some prescribed freedoms. This enabled some convicts to resume a more normal life, to marry and raise a family. From the passage, having seen the unrepentant nature of the children of Israel to be reformed, God laid the nation waste when He sent them away into captivity in Babylon for a while. Though He promised to afflict them, yet He will make their afflictions to work for the good of their souls and correct them as a father does the child, just to drive out foolishness in their hearts. The affliction was intended to cure the besetting sin of idolatry.

Though Jerusalem shall be desolate and forsaken for a time, yet there will come a day when its scattered occupants shall resort to it again out of all the countries whither they were dispersed. At present, you may be going through conditions you can clearly liken to either imprisonment or exile in a strange land. Rather than run from pillar to post, take a cursory look at your life and repent, if need be. That may end your captivity faster and ease your pains quicker.

Thought for the day: Simple obedience may end a long captivity faster.

What’s Your Name? ~ Kenneth Copeland

Topic: What’s Your Name? [November 26, 2016]

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. – Colossians 3:17

Did you know your name has been changed? It’s no longer the same as it was before you were born again. You gave your old name away when you made covenant with Jesus.

To fully appreciate what that means, you have to think about it in the light of what we know about blood covenant. When someone enters a covenant of blood, he is giving himself completely away. He is no longer his own. His assets and his debts, his strengths and his weaknesses belong forever to his covenant brother.

When you’re in blood covenant with someone, that person’s name becomes your name forever. You cannot escape it—good or bad—it’s yours.

When you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, He took your name! Your name was sin. Your name was weakness. Your name was fear and poverty and every other evil thing you inherited from Adam.

Jesus took those names from you and gave you His own in exchange. That’s right! Ephesians 3:15 says that the whole Body of Christ has been named after Him both in heaven and earth. That means you have been given Jesus’ Name. Its authority is now yours!

Just think about who you’re named after:

“Jesus, Mighty God, Wisdom, Deliverer, Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Word of Life, Advocate, Provider, The Great I Am, Helper, Savior, Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor, Lamb of God, Lord of Hosts, Root of David, Author and Finisher of Our Faith, The Way, Healer, Son of God, The Truth, Chief Cornerstone, King of Kings, Light of the World, Chief Shepherd, My Strength and Song, Righteous Judge, Son of Righteousness, Resurrection and Life, The Alpha and Omega.”

Praise God, those names cover any need you’ll ever have. What’s more, the power of God is in His Name to bring that Name to pass in your life (Acts 3:16).

You can’t call yourself discouraged anymore. That’s not your name. You can’t answer when the devil yells, “Hey, poor boy.” That’s not your name. Jesus has taken those old names of yours. They’re gone. So meditate on the names of the Lord. They’re all wrapped up in the Name of Jesus, the Name above all names, and that Name with all its power and authority has been given to you!

Hearing From God ~ Pastor E.A Adeboye

Topic: Hearing From God [Saturday 26, November 2016]

Memorise: Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: – Hebrews 3:8

Read: Hebrews 1:1-3 (KJV)

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Bible in One Year: Genesis 48-50, Psalms 108

MESSAGE:

One of the illustrations of the Trinity says; God is the Father in Majesty, Jesus is the son in Suffering while the Holy Spirit is the Spirit in Striving. Jesus is the Word of God that became flesh among men. He is the one that the Father appointed over all the things He created. In time past, there were different ways that God used to reveal Himself to humanity. He spoke through dreams, or through supernatural happenings. In the present age, the Father communicates to us through His son Jesus Christ. Everyone that seeks for the Father will find Him only through the Son. Jesus is the only way through which men can be saved. Everything that God has can be inherited only through the Son. There is no way we can deeply understand the character and nature of God if not revealed through the Son. Through the son, we know how powerful the Father is. Through the son, we know how more than enough the Father is. Through the son we understand how loving and faithful the Father is. The Glory of the Father is radiated to the world through the Son. It is through the omnipotent Word that the universe is being held together. It is through the atoning work of Jesus on the Cross that our sins are purged away.

We have stories of people in the Bible who refused to acknowledge the supremacy of God in their lives. They refused to retain God in their hearts even though they daily enjoyed His works. Because they refused to put God in their hearts, they suffered a lot in the hands of their enemies. They were warned from time to time by prophets of God until they were condemned to captivity. This will never be your portion in Jesus’ name. This is why you must make up your mind for Jesus.

There are people who do not want to hear anything about Jesus. Such people in the times of trouble will have nowhere to hide. If you don’t honour His Word in your life, He will never bring you to the place of honour. The moment someone refuses to open up his or her heart to Jesus, the devil will take over such a life. The children of Israel refused to hearken to the will of God and the Lord chastised them by allowing their enemies to take them to captivity. When you allow the Word of God in your life, it will transform you into the image of God.

2 Timothy 3:16 says:

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”

One of the ways to harden ones heart is to refuse to accept and obey the will of God, when one’s emotions and intellect isn’t under the control of the Almighty God. Those who do not accept the Word of God in their lives will always provoke God to rise in judgment against them.

If the judgment of God comes upon an individual, he may be left to wander in the wilderness of life. Accepting Jesus is accepting the Word of God into your life. It is finding rest for your soul.

Prayer Point: Father, help me not to harden my heart to your Word.

Don’t Stay Angry ~ Joyce Meyer

Topic: Don’t Stay Angry [November 26, 2016]

 Cease from anger and forsake wrath; fret not yourself—it tends only to evildoing — Psalm 37:8

The Word tells us another way to resist temptation: When angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down. Leave no [such] room or foothold for the devil [give no opportunity to him] (Ephesians 4:26-27).

Paul said that we should forgive people to keep Satan from gaining an advantage over us (See 2 Corinthians 2:10-11). If someone offends you, get over it quickly so you won’t leave open a door for the devil. It is a sin to hold anger and bitterness, so never go to sleep mad. If you forgive everyone before you fall asleep, freedom from wrong attitudes in your heart will help you start your day right the next morning.

Renowned worship leader and Pastor, Victor Atenaga has released the first single ”Halla”, off his forthcoming project ”Acoustic Worship”.

”My greatest desire from time has been to lead people in Gods direction; Raise an alter for people to encounter God. The Acoustic Worship is one of those mediums for the accomplishment of such.

The Acoustic worship brings some selected songs that God gave me from 1993 (Teach me your ways and Thou art worthy) to 2016 (Forever yours).

I am used to ministering to thousands of people in the audience with stage lights and shouts of joy. But when I thought of this project, I thought of worship in a quiet place with less instruments than normal and calm sound, and I am glad we achieved this. 

After rehearsals with my music team, few days to this project i called my video team together and told them what we want to do and they plotted it and here we are”. – Victor Atenaga

The project was produced by our Simply Worship International Ministry worship team led by Kingsley Onyenwense and Martins Odibo, Audio recorded by Kingsley…., Audio Mix by Olumide Iyun while the video was edited by Orobosa.

House On The Rock Prepares To Host The Experience 2016 Themed ‘Revealing Jesus’

By
Gospel Hotspot Africa
-
The theme of the Experience 11 is Revealing Jesus. Throwing more light on the 2016 theme, the Senior Pastor of House on the Rock, Pastor Paul Adefarasin explained that the purpose of this edition is to further reach the world with the message of the Gospel of Christ, in a fashion so simple, yet effective. He further emphasized that it is high time
Christians stopped sitting in their corners and took centre stage to spread the Gospel of Jesus by truly Revealing Jesus.
The Experience Lagos always sets itself apart with its soul stirring mix of ministers, giving worshippers an incredible reason to look forward to the day. This year is no different as the line up of both international and indigenous gospel artistes is already fueling anticipation. Ministering are: Don Moen, Frank Edwards, Travis Greene, Tope Alabi, Micah Stampley, Cece Winans, Donnie Mcclurkin! Also ministering are Gabriel Eziashi, Eno Michaels, Chioma Jesus, Nwando, Tim Godfrey, Midnight Crew, Smokey Norful  and Samsong.

The Experience which is a free concert, has grown to become the most anticipated gospel music event in Africa among Christians and non-Christians alike. It is reckoned as the largest gathering of people in a gospel music concert. Pastor Paul Adefarasin has also reemphasized that everybody regardless of race, culture, religions or works of life, is invited to experience God at The Experience.

@theexperiencelg | The Legacy Called ‘The Experience Lagos’

By

the-experience
The brand called ‘The Experience’ can hardly be termed new to the ears of Nigerians. It sparks excitement, faith and anticipation every time it is mentioned.

For a decade, the experience, hosted by Pastor Paul Adefarasin, has served as a gateway to the secret place of the Most High for Christians and non Christians alike. It has commanded the desire of Nigerians and foreigners to praise, pray and worship like they can nowhere else.

When it debuted in December 2006, it was mostly thought of as an over excited gathering of Christians who would soon loose their spark. Although 70,000 people gathered to praise that year, it was hardly impressed in their hearts that it would metamorphose into something bigger in the coming years. But then such is the hand work of the Most High God; using the little things to make the most incredible impact.

In 2007, eyes and ears were tickled with surprise as over 250,000 worshipers gathered from all over Africa to exalt the name of the one true King. International ministers were invited in to lead God’s children in deep and secret places, where their hearts can find expression in worship. Even when the rains came in 2008 to disrupt the flow of God’s agenda, the worshipers were unapologetic in their resolve to pray and praise. With the miraculous flow of testimonies, Nigerians were unrepentant in their resolve not to compromise on their 11 hours of worship and praise.image2-3-1

In its own unique and divine way, the Experience has created a culture of putting aside political ties, religious differences, tribal diversities and class barriers in exchange for a few hours of uninterrupted praise and prayer. Nigerians and foreigners alike have come to understand the powerful importance of coming together to seek the face of God through the gateway of praise and worship. The legacy of love, unity and unbridled expression of faith as represented by The Experience Lagos cannot be denied even in years to come.

It is no wonder that ministers and worshipers alike are stoked about The Experience Lagos 2016. The likes of Donnie McClurkin who has adopted an Igbo heritage, Micah Stampley who many believe is originally Nigerian, Don Meon who finds peace in worshiping amidst Nigerians are eager to climb the Experience stage. Blessed and powerful gospel artistes like Don Moen, Frank Edwards, Travis Greene, Tope Alabi, Micah Stampley, Cece Winans, Donnie McClurkin will be ministering on that much anticipated night! Also ministering are Gabriel Eziaschi, Eno Michaels, Chioma Jesus, Nwando, Tim Godfrey, Midnight Crew, Smokey Norful  and Samsong. No doubt, Nigerians are soaked in anticipation of the 11th edition of the Experience.

As The Experience is set to Reveal Jesus in a new dimension this December, we are all invited to put all worries aside and come join in sending an avalanche of praise up, so that God’s blessings can indeed rain down.
