By Pastor Chinedu Emmanuel John 20:17 “Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.” Jesus Christ faced persecution and ultimately death because He referred to God as His […]

BENEFITS OF THE CROSS

It is important that every Christian understand and embrace all the benefits that have been given through the death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of our Lord Jesus. If we don’t grow into spiritual maturity and identify what belongs to us in Christ, the devil will cheat us out of those benefits. We will end up living as mere men without the benefits of what Christ died to provide for us which makes all the difference in our lives and relationship with God.

Rediscovering the heart of Christianity

By Pastor Chinedu Emmanuel “Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; …”  The question, “What really matters?” was asked by a young man who felt lost and empty but desired to be a Christian.

YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY AND DOMINION

By Pastor Chinedu Emmanuel  Hebrews 2:5-7 “For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

Witness of the Holy Spirit

By Pastor Chinedu Emmanuel 1John 5:9-10 “If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son. He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has […]

Understanding Faith

By Pastor Chinedu Emmanuel Before we can truly understand faith, we must first recognize what it is not. Faith is not hope. Many people confuse the two and then wonder why their prayers seem unanswered. Hope is future-focused—it looks ahead, expecting something to happen. You might hear phrases like, “God is going to heal me” or “God will do it,” […]
