YOUR GIFT THE TRIGGER In one of the local ways of processing red oil (palm oil), you’ll apply oil into the oil dirt to be able to extract the remaining oil from the oil dirt. Therefore if you want oil extracted properly, be ready to pour the oil you have already as a sacrifice for the one which you want extracted. Though it might look like you are losing oil, you’ll certainly gain back that which you lost in the bid to get more with more. Those stingy oil millers who refuse to pour the oil they have to be able to harvest more oil would continue to miss out in getting more oil from their palm fruit. Lu 6:38 give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back." If you are praying for a good measure of financial blessings, a good paying job, and an overflow if finance wealth, you must learn to give. Your gift trigger God’s financial blessings not

NEVER MARRY AS A PAYMENT OF FAVOR A young girl came and bailed him out of his debts; he has taken a loan from the bank for his failed business and now faces the wrath of his bank, he was about to lose his house, cars and landed properties till this girl came into his life and cleared the debts. He didn’t know what to do for her as a pay back and seeing that she was having a crush on him promised her marriage. They married but life wasn’t the same afterward, the wife keeps telling him how she saved his life etc. The one you seek to marry should help you when you are in a dire need but don’t marry someone because he/she helped you during your time of need; your future is no payment system. Don’t let your parent as a means of maintaining family ties arrange marriage for you with someone that’s not your type and don’t use your entire future to pay someone whom you owe a favor back. Your life is priceless, it worth more than gold and silver, your life cost God His life on the cro

DESPERATE FOR A MIRACLE2 His brother was so sick that if she does nothing he’ll die and now she has done all knows how to do and yet he was getting worse and she became so desperate for a miracle if not her only brother would die. She called on Christ for help, she prayed to God for the salvation of her brother from this terminal sickness but Christ delayed and her brother died. Christ had delayed four days because Lazarus died the very day He was called upon to save him, anyway, whenever God responds, it’s not late. Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. John 11:21 Perhaps you too are saying the same thing, that if God had answered you earlier when you were so desperate for a miracle you wouldn’t have found yourself in the shame, humiliation, pain and disappointment etc. that you are facing now. Christ responds to Martha is the same to you, He said ‘Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again… "I am the resur

DESPERATE FOR A MIRACLE Have you ever come to a point in your Christian life where you are desperate for a miracle? The point where it looked like the situation would just swallow you up if you receive no immediate divine help? Moses was in such situation; God had promised to use him to deliver the Jews from Egypt and now at the beginning of their deliverance, the red sea blocked their way forward and behind them were 6 hundred thousand chosen armies of the Egyptians with the order to kill. The entire elders of Israel turned against Moses, who in his right mind wouldn’t. Moses was now desperate, its either God makes the way now or never. Moses called on God and waited for the salvation of the Lord. God first responded by delaying the Egyptians with a chariot of fire before He opened up the sea. Yes, most time God may first delay the problem from overwhelming us till He gives us breakthrough. Glory!! When you don’t see the solution yet, it means God has delayed the problem an

Faith is not hope Faith is the substance of hope: hope coming true. What we believe is what we've received unless we believe we are yet to receive it. Jesus said, believe that you've received then you'll have it but many are believing that one day they'll receive: that's the wrong way that gives no result. God didn't say you should believe that one day you'll be Prosperous, you are Prosperous now ... That oneday you'll be married, you are married now. That oneday you'll discover you are healed of that medically incurable disease, you are healed now. That oneday you'll get that which you've prayed for but you have it now. We don't walk by sight, we walk by faith. Its God's style to tell the weak to instead of describing how weak they are and awaiting for strength from the Lord but to declare that they are strong. Its only the day that you've started believing that you have received that you'll begin to have. For those saying

Lesson 18 HOW TO GAIN BOLDNESS TO EVANGELIZE Few years ago I was in a bus travelling somewhere, prior to when I boarded the bus I had prayed, fasted and decided to preach in the bus but by the time I got to my destination, I ended up not preaching. It continued again and again till I finally learnt how to overcome fear and gained boldness in evangelization. These steps are practical and would help anyone desiring the boldness to preach. 1.       BE RIGHTLY CONVINCED OF GOD: you can’t give what you don’t have, if you want the world to be saved, you must first be saved and if you want to introduce Christ to the people, you must first know Christ personally. Until the Spirit of God has convinced you, He won’t use you to convince another; preach salvation after you’ve been saved and repentance from the sins you’ve repented of. 2.       FOLLOW OTHERS: ‘Heb 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises’. To be able to gain

THE MINISTERS CHAPEL INTERNATIONAL BIBLE LESSONS FOR 2016 SUNDAY 17 TH JAN. 2016 TOPIC: FIRST FRUIT TEXT : Proverbs 3: 9-10 Honor the LORD with your substance and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine. (RSV) INTROUDUCTION: It’s the law of spirit that gives God the right to bring about increase in our jobs, wealth and harvest. The Jews were to keep practicing this to maintain the blessings of increase of the Lord over their land and we are to do so to cause God’s blessings of increase in our lives every new season or year. QUESTIONS/DISCUSSION 1.     WHEN DID FIRST FRUIT STARTED : it started in Genesis (Gen. 4:1-7). It’s good to note that every bible doctrine has its origin in genesis. The first fruit began in Genesis and Cain who didn’t give his first fruit properly was punished. 2.     HOW SHOULD IT BE DONE : we are to bring our first fruit to the pastor and present it to him

FIRST FRUIT OFFERING Giving God the first fruit of your harvest is a law of the spirit; the law of increase. It dated before the written laws. Cain and Abel gave God the first of their increase (see Gen. 4). God regarded that of Abel more perhaps because it was a fat portion (Gen. 4:4). Honor the LORD with your substance and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine. (RSV). Prov. 3:9-10 God breathes into our barns (store room) and vats (jobs) to cause increase when we first honor Him with the fat portion of our first fruit. The bible says our job would produce more profits and our accounts would grow fat only if we’ll observe this principle. This is how it should be done: ‘you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you harvest from your land that the LORD your God gives you, and you shall put it in a basket, and you shall go to the place which the LORD your G

GOD’S WORD IS QUICK AND POWERFUL Some two years ago, when I visited Zimbabwe newly, someone took me to his in-law; she had been sick and bedridden for 4 months in South Africa before she was brought to Chitwungwiza where she was when I was brought to her. She lied down weak, unable to do anything even helping herself with urinating without the help of those with her. When I saw her, I ministered these words to her: ‘Rom. 8:11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you.’ She stood up instantly for the first time in four months and walked, she finally saw us off to the gate when we were leaving. God’s word gives quick and powerful result; it makes the blind see instantly, it makes the lame leap, it unstops the ears of the deaf and loosens the tongue of the dump, it delivers the oppressed of the devil quickly and powerfully. When yo

HE TURNED DIRTY WATER TO WINE Have you read the story of Jesus turning water to win, oh! Did you know that it was a dirty-water? The water was gotten from a well and put inside the jar containing the remaining dirty water those who came for the wedding party used to wash their hands and feet before entering the party. It was the culture of the Jews to wash their hands and feet whenever they want to enter any wedding party before they do so Christ asked that they fill the remaining of the dirty water in the pot with water (see John 2). Your life may be like that pot, used for washing of hands and legs by others or your life may be filled with so much dirty due to the several things you’ve passed through in the hands of men in your time past and you think you are now too rejected to be favored, I just want to announce to you today that God is in the business of turning life rejects into life treasures. He turns mess into great message and He’ll do so for you today. 1Co 1:27 Bu

SABBATH RESPONCE They said Sabbath is the day of rest and then added is the only day of worship and whoever that worships except its Saturday bears the mark of the beast. I asked him; explain rest and he said, it’s doing no job. I said Jesus’s disciples plugged fruit on Saturday so farmers can harvest (Matt. 12:1) Jesus healed on Saturday, doctors and medical practitioners can practice (Luke 6:10) The priest administers in the temple during worship (they aren’t at rest because Saturday is their major workday), so pastors can work Saturdays. Shepherds can tend to their flocks on Saturday so we can watch over our properties to avoid destruction. (Matt 12:11) Jesus was teaching during Saturdays so teachers can teach etc. Lu 6:9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? So Saturday is a lawful day to work if such work is a good work. My question now is, is other days

WHAT IF JESUS IS FALSE? An atheist proposed to me saying, what if Jesus is false and the bible the invention of men? And I replied, Jesus isn’t false and the bible is true and then he retorted, how sure are you? And I said, the Christ I know is both the one which I have seen, experienced and heard (Acts. 4:20). Then he asked, how did you experienced the bible and Christ, then I shared the story of when I was about to commit suicide because of so much hardship I was facing and Christ met me on that tree and spoke to me and I also shared the story of when I was sick to death and the doctors couldn’t diagnosed or heal me but as my pastor was praying in Jesus name, I rose up from the sick bed totally healed. The atheist said, its coincidence, then I said, every time I pray with the name Jesus with others that are sick and oppressed of the devil many more miracles happen and many of my readers/members can testify of this. I told the atheist, my grandfather was an evangelist and my
