UNDERSTANDING WHO YOU ARE

By Pastor Chinedu Emmanuel “1 Thessalonians 5:23 “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly, and I pray God your whole Spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” In this above scripture, Paul reminds us of our identity as believers. We are spiritual beings, we have a soul and live […]

Nurturing Spiritual Growth: Moving Beyond Spiritual Infancy

By Pastor Chinedu Emmanuel  1 Peter 2:2 “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation” As believers, one of our primary responsibilities is to nurture and cultivate our spiritual growth. Just like a minor who may have the potential and gifts from God, without maturity, they cannot effectively utilize and […]

GUIDANCE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

The guidance of the Holy Spirit is central to how you live your Christian life. You need to be willing to be guided by the Holy Spirit because He will not force anyone to do the will of the Father. To live the spirit life and fulfill God’s will for your life, you must be guided by the Holy Spirit.

BELIEVE GOD

Be careful of what and how you hear. That is what our Lord Jesus taught us. Judge all spirits by the word of God. Many well-meaning people are sometimes motivated by demons without knowing it. The goal is to derail your faith. They can easily plant the wrong doctrine into your heart.

The Ministry of Angels

By Pastor Chinedu Emmanuel Heb 1;14 “But to which of the angels has He ever said: “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?

Some may mistakenly perceive angels as spiritually […]

He […]

Understanding Your True Identity

By Pastor Chinedu Emmanuel 1 John 3:1 “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore, the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.” As a believer, it is important that you are persuaded about your identity as stated in the scriptures. 1 John 3:1 called […]

Understanding Faith

By Chinedu Emmanuel Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the [b]evidence of things not seen.” WHAT FAITH IS NOT Before we learn about faith, let us first establish what faith isn’t. Faith is not hope! Many Christians often mistake hope for faith and fail. You know those Christians by their words. They make statements like “God is […]

FAITH

This means faith exists in the present—it is for now, not something that is going to exist but already does. If it does not exist, then it is not faith because it lacks substance, tangibility, or solid existence.

Understanding Who You Are Pt. 2

By Pastor Chinedu Emmanuel “1 Thessalonians 5:23 “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly, and I pray God your whole Spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” In the last blog post, we talked about how humans are made up of three parts: the spirit, the body, and the […]
