In Church today, I learnt that God is a rewarder of those who obey His instructions an do what He says we should do (LK5:1-7).
NO MORE FRUITLESS EFFORTS.
Jesus stood by the lake of Gennesaret, saw two boats and went into one of them which happened to be that of Peter. He asked him to move a bit inward to enable Him talk to all to hear Him. Peter obliged.
After He finished His business, He decided to bless Peter for his cooperation and obedience. He told Peter to move further into the lake and throw in his net for a great catch. Peter who had toiled all night with no catch, hesitated, but then said, "nevertheless at thy word l will let down the net". He did and had two boats filled with fishes, and was overwhelmed.
Peter got this miracle because he cooperated/partnered with Jesus. Whatever God tells you to do, do it. (2 Kings 4:1-17) tells the story of the Shunammite woman.
She invited Prophet Elisha whom she noticed passed by frequently to Shunem for refreshment. Later she built him a place to rest his head overnight whenever he came to Shunem.
Prophet Elisha called her/prayed for the fruit of the womb for her when he noticed she has no child and her husband is getting old. She had a baby boy.
She partnered/cooperated with the servant of the Lord, and got her miracle.
I have just given you 2 examples of those who were obedient to the word of God and were blessed.
As you make up your mind to cooperate with God, there shall be no more fruitless effort for you.
In conclusion, learn to obey the word of God and follow His instructions to the letter.
Pray Father, l will cooperate with You, please make me fruitful in the mighty Name of Jesus!

Today was centred around the theme of Forgiveness. The stories of how the Israelites were forgiven for the Golden Calf and the Prodigal Son.
Bose Oyelayo
Our topic today was about Repentance and the text was taken from the book of Gal. 6:7-8
Rosaline Makelemi
Gen. 26:1-4, 12-14.
At times like this, people's faith with God begins to wane, but we must rely on GOD for our sustenance. We must not allow the present situation in Nigeria to way us down.
There was famine in Philistines, Isaac wanted to go to Egypt, but God told him to remain there. He had faith in God, dug well after well till he struck water/started irrigating the land for farming. He reaped a hundred folds/became so rich despite the challenges he faced from the Philistines.
At times like this, what are the plans for your life? Create something for yourself, what you can always rely on. Time to look up to God. Ask Him what you can do to give you a future. Could be farming, a garden for yams, corn. vegetables, et cetera. Could be selling food stuff, or start a school. Many choices out there to keep body/soul going.
Mk 11:22-24). Have faith in God and whatever you lay your hands on will prosper.

Today, I learnt the Unchangeable Changer can be provoked to anger through sin (Case study is Eli in 1 Samuel 2:27-30). He can also be provoked to bless through giving as in Solomon (2 Chronicles 1:6-7). And through praise like Paul and Silas (Acts 16:23-26).

Reflection was in Astuteness and Being trustworthy. Reference from Luke 16:10-16
Adetokunbo Ajanaku
I HAVE A GLORIOUS DESTINY
Jeremiah 29 vs11
God says He has good thoughts for me not of evil. How come things are not working out as I desire or as reflecting the supposed good thoughts of God ?
1) Some are suffering from generational curses (things that constantly happens in a family due to what has been done by forefathers foremothers)
2) We don't relate with God via His words. When we do it, then He can order our steps as He has said in His words "He orders the steps of the righteous
3) Without genuine repentance, we can not be truly reconciled to God and when we are not reconciled we may not be privileged to discover our glorious destiny or attain the destiny
4) We can attain discover our glorious destiny through vision in the book of Habakkuk we are told vision speaks and we get Vision via His words or through hearing the words of God from the pulpits (your church or any biblical gathering) or through the voice of the spirit
What is the benefits of discovering your glorious destiny?
1) You walk in supernatural favor
2) Peace in all you do
3) The joy of the Lord that will be your strength at all times

THE GREAT VISITOR
Matthew 21:1-16,
The news of Jesus' good works had been heard by people and they had been expecting His visitation somehow but the time came and he visited Jerusalem and the people who saw and welcome him received their miracles, his visitation brought justification to many who believed in him and their lives received divine turn around. Notwithstanding the murmuring their leaders,Jesus still manifested in His way. I pray that this new week Jesus will visit you and you will be justify in that particular area you looked up to no matter the tactics of your foes.
Do have a blessed new week ahead.

The Lord that has the final say. In all situation we may find ourselves we believe in God's report because He has the final say over everything.

According to 1 Cor. 3:26, we are the Lord's temple. His Spirit dwells in us. If we should defile this temple, the Lord Himself will destroy us.
We are married to Jesus according to lsaiah 54:5.
We must flee fornicarion and adultry, the only sin against your own body which destroys the body.
Keep yourself chaste and pure.

We are on a series 'STARTING AT THE FINISH LINE'. Imagine a situation where a contestant in the 100m race in the Olympics is taken to the finish line to begin the race. Is it possible? Is that not cheating? Probably in that race but in the race of life... We focused today on 'THE GAME PLAN'. I'll share our entire outline in bits for a better grasp and I know you will be blessed also.
But even though we were dead in our sins, God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, gave us life together with Christ—it is, remember, by grace and not by achievement that you are saved —and has lifted us right out of the old life to take our place with him in Christ in the Heavens. Thus he shows for all time the tremendous generosity of the grace and kindness he has expressed towards us in Christ Jesus. It was nothing you could or did achieve—it was God’s gift to you. No one can pride himself upon earning the love of God. The fact is that what we are we owe to the hand of God upon us. We are born afresh in Christ, and born to do those good deeds which God planned for us to do. Ephesians 2:4-10 (Phillips)
Starting at the finish line in all areas of our life should be our desire, because this will help us to fulfill destiny as we work towards accomplishing the purpose why we were created. -A lot of us find “Starting at the finish line” difficult to grasp and apply because all our lives we have been programmed and come to realize we have to WORK FOR EVERYTHING WE GET…efforts/ achievement mentality. -Due to our human nature, we are limited in physical, moral, mental, economic and even spiritual “abilities”. -We need to remind ourselves that God has called us to a limitless life, through Christ. As far as possibilities go, everything is possible for the person who believes. Mark 9:23 (GW) I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 (GW) -Hence for us to improve our quality of life and go through life successfully and fulfill the limitless purpose of God for our lives, we have to make up how mind the based on God’s provision for us, we will embrace “Starting at the finish line”.
“Starting at the finish line” is a life changing concept that has to do with receiving great and wonderful things in life that we do not deserve or work for. A word that is used to express this concept all through the bible is called GRACE. All through the bible, we see a lot of people who embraced “Starting at the finish line” i.e they got great and wonderful things in life that they did not deserve or work for. Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. Zechariah 4:6-9 (KJV)
One of the criminals hanging there also insulted Jesus by saying, “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and save us!” But the other criminal told the first one off, “Don’t you fear God? Aren’t you getting the same punishment as this man? We got what was coming to us, but he didn’t do anything wrong.” Then he said to Jesus, “Remember me when you come into power!” Jesus replied, “I promise that today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:39-43(CEV) - First and formost, our eternal destiny is something that should be of concern to us. - A lot of people and religion have different thoughts about this, but one major unifying factor is the believe that death is really not our end and at a point in life, we will receive reward/ judgment from God. - However most religion promotes the believe that God will “judge” us based on the comparison of the weight of the good and evil things we do. But Ephesians 2:4-10 says otherwise
So what game plan can we put in place to ensure that in all we are involved with in this life and in the life to come our life can be an example of “Starting at the finish line”. - Recalibrate our mind set: Do away with the efforts/ achievement mentality. because of the great love he had for us, gave us life together with Christ—it is, remember, by grace and not by achievement that you are saved… No one can pride himself upon earning the love of God. The fact is that what we are we owe to the hand of God upon us. We are born afresh in Christ, and born to do those good deeds which God planned for us to do. Ephesians 2:4-10 - Always realize that there is nothing you have that is not given to you. What can hold people back from starting at the finish line is pride – they want to be selfmade. Who says that you are any better than other people? What do you have that wasn't given to you? If you were given what you have, why are you bragging as if it weren't a gift? I Cor.4:7(GW) It’s common knowledge that “God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble.” James 4:6 (MSG)

passages were Gn 18:20-32, Col 2:12-14 and Lk 11:1-13.

God created us, formed us, made us, for His glory... Isaiah
43:7. Hence we are to ensure that every aspect of our lives and living shows forth
the glory of God. May this be our testimony and the testimony of others about
us in Jesus name. Amen.
Dolapo Lawal
The sermon today was about storms, comparing Jonah's
sin-induced storm (i.e. sin of disobedience), with the one Christ's disciples
had come upon, through no fault of theirs; how both Jonah and Jesus slept
through both storms and had to be awakened by disappointed others; how Jonah
knew the solution, in his case, and Jesus was the solution, in his; and how
Jonah found his way back to his God-given assignment. The pastor ended, saying
that God would even let us ride through some storms, and that whatever the
cause of our storm is, we should find rest in knowing that God is with us. But
do we just want Him to be there, or do we want him to take control and
transcend the situation (because He will, and with ease, too, if we let Him)?

Once again we bless God for another wonderful time in His presence.
Today we learnt that our salvation is the foundation for our escaping the wickedness, torture and affliction of Satan and his demonic agents.
After our salvation encounter follows our commitment to serving and dwelling in God's presence...
Note that every sincere commitment to serving God, which is our divine assignment, brings us to the place of supernatural flow of signs and wonders ..halleluyah,, as the presence of God is the fountain of signs and wonders....
This our commitment also establishes God's commitment for our escape, preservation n liberation.
Listen to this brethren: every physician operates by prescription and a good doctor is known by his diagnosis and treatments...ie solutions to diagnosis-this is in medicine.
But then Jesus is the Greatest Physician, who carries with Him solutions to all our needs, and sickness diagnosis, so it only pays us to see Him, dwell in His presence and continuously trust Him to do that which He has promised for He is faithful that prpmised...halleluyah....

The basis of the theme was taken from the story of Mary and Martha when Jesus visited them.
We were taught that if we set out heart firmly on God, we would easily overcome every adverse situation without fear.

I learnt that God delights in the prosperity of His children.
2. Chidimma Nene Kayla Ezenduka-Ezike
Today we learned about "Charity without boundaries", case in point being The Good Samaritan.
3. Anthonia Joseph
We were taught never judge, criticize or condemn any man of God BECAUSE we are not the one who called them so that we don't bring God's wrath upon our lives.
4. Lillian Peter
Today we learnt about the essence of the Holy communion. John 6:48-56.
Makes us understand the power in the blood n do flesh of Jesus.
As we partake of the communion we share the eternal life virtue of Christ...
As the life of a thing is in its blood, our life now has its footing in Christ Jesus.
There's transfusion of the blood of Jesus into our own blood in order words, His blood takes over our blood; and in His flesh is the mystery of the flesh transplant.
His flesh takes over our flesh therefore every thing that is not found in the blood n flesh of Jesus can't be found in ours....Glory....
We must have this faith in us as we approach d communion table...halleluya...be blessed
5. Temitope Dada
Today we learnt that God is Powerful and Mighty. Psalm 91:1-6.
We were taught that it is by his power the earth were form Genesis 1:1-4.
And if only we can believe in him HE will deliver us.

Yesterday, I learned that Boaz was blessed because he gave.
He went beyond the law of Moses that required rich farmers to remain some for the poor to glean, while they harvested, by giving generously.
It must have been Boaz's character generally to give, because he'd been wealthy long before Ruth came in the picture, because he'd been blessed for long.
So, if we want to be blessed, we need to learn to bless first.
Give love, if you're love-starved, reach out in friendship to someone if you need friends, etc.
And don't count, when you give. Just give, give, give. Only count when you've been blessed. Because by giving, we become like God, who gave, gave, and keeps giving...
Find a need in the world around you, and give generously to it

Abiding in Christ;even in this timing of our nation, for us to be safe and live in splendor, it can only be when we stay put to God
