Excerpts

Spiritual Maturity is;

1. The degree and fullness of inward growth to which the holy spirit wants to bring every true child of God

2. Much more than the experience of salvation and water baptism - The fact you occupy positions of seniority in the church does not mean you are mature.

Attracting Destiny Helpers - Olumide Emmanuel

As a minister you must understand that in order to fulfill ministry you need men; you need help. That help you need will come from God (Hebrews 5:4, Prov 14:28,), the Bible, and man. As a man, you can receive nothing except you receive from God.

Seven (7) Ways to Attract Destiny Helpers to your Ministry

1) You need a well defined vision - Your vision determines your attraction.

2) You need to be in the right location - Because God will always send your allocation to the location that He has allotted for you (1 Kings 17:3-4). We see in that scripture though, that after a while, the Brook Cherith dried up so this shows that revelation can change.

Salvation So Sweet, Tell Me About It: Pastor Isaac.O

MESSAGE HIGHLIGHTS:
• Our God has been so merciful to us.

• There are so many things we see today that we still wonder why people still do such things.

• Jesus came looking for the poor, broken hearted captives, blind, sick sinners and everywhere he went there were testimonies of people like this being turned around 
(Matthew 15:16).

• There is no amount of money that can redeem man because man fell from his glory and relinquished his glory to the devil.

• The life of a sinner is governed by evil spirits and he cannot help himself.

• This is why a man who suffers from day to day will still end up in the beer parlor late at night.

• We have the power that is stronger than AK47 yet many have not heard about it.

• Belief is not hearing – belief takes root in the heart.

How To Determine Who To Marry - Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr.

Excerpts (Paraphrased)

Things you should check before going ahead with marrying someone;

Is the person?

- Born again

- Committed to a local church

-------------------------------------------------------------

- Do you have both set of Parents' blessings?

- Have you heard from God? (Ask God for a sign)

- You need to have a determination on your decision on marrying someone that has been already married. (Matt 19:1-12, Mark 10:11,12, Mal 2:15,16, 1 Cor 7:10-17)

Open Their Eyes To The Light - Kenneth Copeland

 
''If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.'' - 2 Corinthians 4:3-4

Since God doesn’t save anyone against their will, does it really do any good to pray for people who consciously refuse to receive Jesus as Lord?

Yes. Yes! Yes! It does!

The Lord Our Deliverer - Dr. Paul Eneche

Eight (8) keys to experiencing deliverance from God

1. Live in the fear of God avoid evil. The fear of the Lord is a shield against the visitation of evil. It establishes a hedge of protection around a person. Proverbs 8:13 defines what the fear of the Lord is which is to hate evil.

The absence of the fear of God is the violation of conscience. When a person does not fear God he violates his conscience freely.

It establishes a life in guilt. A person who fears God will never allow their conscience to remain in guilt. That which makes you guilty makes you vulnerable and opens a door.

The absence of the fear of God makes people to hurt others without feeling. It makes people exist without emotion,empathy or feeling making them vulnerable to destruction.

In order not to die untimely like Judas iscariot, Absalom or Achan we must ensure our conscience remains healthy so that our safety remains intact.

(i.) The state or relationship of being husband and wife.

Olumide Emmanuel:The Fully Committed Workforce

Olumide Emmanuel - The Fully Committed Workforce

Excerpts

Whatever you become a part of you have to be fully committed to. Whatever you're not committed to you cannot produce maximum results in or succeed in (Revelation 3:15 to 16). When you are lukewarm you are deceptive and undefined.

As long as you continue to seek God, he will prosper you. If you can not promote stuff well in your company, you can't expect life to prosper someone that does not put in 100% effort. Life is governed by laws. It is not lived by emotional sentiment. Laws and principles are universal and have no respect of persons; Christians or not.

Rick Warren: Escaping the People Pleaser Trap

Rick Warren - Escaping the People Pleaser Trap

Excerpts

• You do need the approval of others in your life. You just don’t need it to dominate your life.

• There’s nothing wrong with wanting to please others (regard for other people) as you need a certain amount of approval in your life.

• If you have no need for approval from other people, you are a sociopath/narcissist.

• It is only the misuse of this need for approval that is a problem.

Paul Adefarasin on the Value of Real Estate Investment

"Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin [to slip away during the brief lull in the Chaldean invasion] to receive [the title to] his portion [of land, which the Lord had promised would eventually be valuable] there among the people." - Jeremiah 37:12 [AMPC]

One of the best places to buy land in the whole world, in fact the best place to buy land in the whole world, in terms of value is right here in Lagos Nigeria. The most expensive land in the world is right here in Ikoyi and Banana Island...

If energy, ambition, values, goals, educational, spiritual background are not the same as your partner but you're in love don't go ahead. Just because you love someone doesn't mean you should marry them. They must be a believer.
