An Hour of Prayer (Wednesday 08/04/09)

Scripture Reading

1 John 5:2-12 (Holy Bible-New International Version)

2. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out His commands.

3. This is love for God: to obey His commands. And His commands are not burdensome,

4. for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

5. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only He who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

6. This is the one who came by water and blood-Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

7. For there are three that testify:

8. the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

9. We accept man’s testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which He has given about His Son.

10. Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Any one who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about His Son.

11. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

12. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Amen!

This is a thought for tonight.

We know that we love the children of God; and this means, if we love the children of God-we love God Himself.

It is our responsibility to love one another. If you love someone, you will make sure that you protect the person you love.

Who are we born of?

The bible says we are born of God. Who are those born of God? Are those who received Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.

Jesus came to His own people, the Jews. Those who received Him received power to become the children of God.

We are born Spiritually. If you are born of God; you have overcame the world. The world has many things in it, but because we are born of God, we overcame it.

Who is he who overcame the world?

The one who believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Not the one who is wealthy, intelligent, educated; but the one who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

By Jesus’ blood, we were cleansed of our sins. People can doubt us, but His blood has washed it all.

The Spirit that we have bear witness; the water and the blood are witnesses. They all agree in one thing that, Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

1 John 4:15

15. If anyone acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. (Holy Bible-New International Version).

If you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, then you have life.

This means that you don’t need to give in to the enemy; you are a victorious man. You have Jesus, and you have life.

Walk victorious.

If you know who you are in God, you will not look down upon yourself.

Yithini (say) Ameni!

Doers of the word-Sunday Sermon (07 April 2009)

This is how we do it at Westside Christian Fellowship Assembly: Click below to watch proceedings:

This is a summary of the sermon

Doers of the word

The bible says, we must be the doers of the word, not only the hearers.

For example; If someone tells you he can play soccer, for you to believe him, he must prove it by playing; for you to believe someone who claims to be a musician, he/she must prove it to you by performing; and for someone to believe that one is an athlete, he/she must show that skill. In that way no one will argue against your talent.

If a person says he/she is a Christian, there must be a proof. That person must live a Christian life.

People who are doers of the word;

-Be obedient to God, for it is profitable to your blessings.

-To be blessed, you must be the doers of the word.

-Don’t do what men says, but do what the word says.

-It is not a matter of luck that you are blessed, but it is because you are doing what the word says.

We can feel up the church in numbers, but if we are not the doers of the word, it means we are playing; but we want to see wonders in the house of the Lord. Why? Because we are the doers of the word. We want to see our families being blessed; and that will come if we do His word.

The Choice you made

-If you have chosen Jesus Christ, you must be the doers of the word.

-We stand a chance of receiving His blessings if we are the doers of His word.

-If you are not doing according to His word, the word will judge you.

-If we do His word, we will also be a blessing to the world.

-If the word can’t change you or can’t change your situation, then you must examine yourself; you must repent.

Guidelines

-Read the word of God, so that your gift can manifest.

-Our standard is in the word of God. We measure ourselves by the word of God.

-The standard of God is higher than our standard. We can’t measure ourselves by what we have or own, but by His word.

Pray for someone who is in danger. Says the bible

-The devil can do nothing if we pray for one another.

-Sometimes we don’t see the works and tricks of the devil. We are not aware; But those who read the word can easily see the danger ahead.

-As Christians, the word must always burn within us.

- Read the word like the way you check yourselves in the mirror.

-Meditate upon the word of God.

-Worship God and you shall be blessed.

We don’t have to fake God’s blessings. We need to come Holy to God, so that He may be Glorified.

-Do the word so that you could be blessed.

-Present your bodies as your living sacrifice to God.

-Love your neighbours as you love yourselves.

-Forgive one another.
