4 Keypoints From: Growing In Faith

  • For your faith to really grow, don't just study the word and pray; seek to hear from God concerning your life. His voice will cause a surge in your faith.
  • Just as you grow your muscles through physical exercise, grow your faith by exercising it as well.
  • If you believe god for something and don't make any move in line with what you believe, your faith will never grow.
  • Testimonies will also grow your faith. Hearing someone's testimony builds faith in you to know that God can also move on your behalf.

  • “Purposely search for testimonies of people who have gone through what you are going through. As you hear their testimonies, your faith will rise, and you will also get a miracle.”

    Prayer Point: Father, please help me to continuall y grow my faith in You.

    Memorise: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

    3 Keypoints From: Dangerous And Benign

  • When you're baptised in the Holy Spirit, it might seem like nothing has changed about you, but the reality is, you have become very dangerous to the enemy and his cohorts. (2 Kings 1:9-12)
  • To become dangerous to your enemies, ensure that you carry the fire of God inside you in great measure. If the devil as been tormenting you, the way to get him off your shoulder is to carry the fire of God.
  • Become addicted to praying in the Holy Ghost. As you do this (praying often), the fire of God starts boiling inside you.

  • “Speak in tongues for at least one hour today, and make this a daily practice going forward.”

    Memorise: And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. (Acts 13:11)

    3 Keypoints From: Content vs Container

  • It doesn't matter if everyone in the world thinks that a fellow is the closest person to Jesus Christ. If he or she is not truly born again, Jesus will deny the fellow on the last day.
  • Don't pretend to be a Christian, genuinely give your life to Christ if you haven't done so and live a holy life henceforth. You cannot call Jesus 'Lord' and keep on obeying the devil.
  • Make your inside clean first, and then the outside will be clean as well. It is not the other way round.

  • “Some people can deceive the whole world with their container, but that will only put them in more trouble because it will become more difficult for them to get on the right track with God.”

    Memorise: Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2 Timothy 3:5)

  • No matter how wrong an elder is, you must share your opinion respectfully and never dishonour them. (Job 32:4)

    3 Keypoints From: Your Arrows

  • Young men can shoot arrows far ahead of them to ward off the enemy or dangerous animal in their path. Likewise, your children are to go ahead of you into your future to make it more pleasurable.
  • Invest in your children, they will be there for you when you are old, and when you are long gone, the results of your investment in them will still be obvious.

    Don′t Kill A Wounded Soldier

  • When we correct someone just to show how righteous we are, we are attacking their self-esteem, adding to the weight of guilt hey already bear, and making it more difficult for them to come to Christ.
  • Unfortunately, many Christians use their superiority complex to hand their own brothers and sisters over to the devil.
  • If the wounded soldier get help from the enemy's camp, they may never return to their own camp again. This is why many backsliders keep going deeper into sin.
  • If a fellow believer falls, don't condemn the person. Don't turn such a person into an object of gossip, rather, geth other Christians together to pray and follow up on the fellow until he or she comes back to God. (Job 4:3-4)

  • “Show love to any believer you know that may require encouragement by calling or sending a message to say you will always be there for him or her.”

    Memorise: Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. (Galatians 6:1)

    4 Keypoints From: The Purpose Of Marriage

  • Any marriage where the husband and wife compete against each other will not stand. (Mark 3:25)
  • Husband, your wife is a gift from God to help you achieve His purpose for your life.
  • If your wife is making an impact in places of authority; it doesn't reduce you as a man; it enhances you. The more impact your spouse makes, the prouder you should be. (Proverbs 31:23)
  • Wives, don't follow the recent worldly trend that is seeking to overturn the roles of husbands and wives in marriages.

  • “Don't leave your duty post to compete with your teammate and end up losing in life entirely. Handle your roles support your spouse, and your entire family will win at the end of the day.”

    It is better to be a defender in a winning team that o be a star player in a losing team.

    Memorise: And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him and help meet for him. (Genesis 2:18)

    3 Keypoints From: The Law Of Righteousness

  • An individual becomes like the people he or she associates with. (Proverbs 13:20) If your friend is not someone you admire and want to be like, you should unfriend that fellow immediately.
  • Don’t be friends with people who gossip and are only interested in entertainment when you are together.
  • Whatever you read or watch has a great influence on who you become. Anyone who reads and watches immoral content will eventually become corrupt.

    When you want to change something about yourself, change the people you associate with.
