17 June 2023 Sermon – I am counting on the LORD

Audio Sermon

Psalms 130:5 (NLT)

I am counting on the Lord;     yes, I am counting on him.     I have put my hope in his word.

Dear Beloved,  You must keep conting on GOD for your promises. Hold on to his Word.  You know your latter end is greater as that is what God’s word says.

Psalms 16:6

The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.

Jeremiah 29:11

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Hold the scripture and pray with the scripture – because faith comes by the Word of God (Romans 10:17)

Proverbs 25:2

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

Joshua 21:45

45 Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

Joshua 23:14

14 “Behold, this day I[a] am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.

Your help is from God. Take your eyes off the people – Put your eyes on the Lord and not on people. My Help comes from the Lord (Psalms 121:2)

My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

Hebrews 6:13-18 (NLT)

18 So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.

1 Kings 8:56

56 “Praise the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel, just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the wonderful promises he gave through his servant Moses.

God is watching over his word to perform it.

Romans 4:17-25 (NLT)

17 That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.”[a] This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing. 18 Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!”[b] 19 And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb. 20 Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. 21 He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. 22 And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous. 23 And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. It was recorded 24 for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God.

Isaiah 48:17

17 This is what the Lord says—     your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,     who teaches you what is good for you
    and leads you along the paths you should follow.

Hebrews 3:2,18-19

2 For he was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses served faithfully when he was entrusted with God’s entire[c] house.

18 And to whom was God speaking when he took an oath that they would never enter his rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed him? 19 So we see that because of their unbelief they were not able to enter his rest.

Psalms 67:5-7

May the nations praise you, O God.     Yes, may all the nations praise you.
6 Then the earth will yield its harvests,     and God, our God, will richly bless us.
7 Yes, God will bless us,     and people all over the world will fear him.

Job 23:13-14

Pastor Rachel Sermon:

God will exceed your expectations.

Ephesians 3:20-21

20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you. Now we offer up to God all the glorious praise that rises from every church in every generation through Jesus Christ—and all that will yet be manifest through time and eternity. Amen!
2 Kings 4:28-44

38 Elisha returned to Gilgal and there was a famine in that region. While the company of the prophets was meeting with him, he said to his servant, “Put on the large pot and cook some stew for these prophets.” 39 One of them went out into the fields to gather herbs and found a wild vine and picked as many of its gourds as his garment could hold. When he returned, he cut them up into the pot of stew, though no one knew what they were. 40 The stew was poured out for the men, but as they began to eat it, they cried out, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it. 41 Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He put it into the pot and said, “Serve it to the people to eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.

Feeding of a Hundred

42 A man came from Baal Shalishah, bringing the man of God twenty loaves of barley bread baked from the first ripe grain, along with some heads of new grain. “Give it to the people to eat,” Elisha said. 43 “How can I set this before a hundred men?” his servant asked. But Elisha answered, “Give it to the people to eat. For this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.’” 44 Then he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the Lord.

Exodus 15:25-26 –, for I am the Lord, who heals you.”

Mark 6:34-44

34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things. 35 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. “This is a remote place,” they said, “and it’s already very late. 36 Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” 37 But he answered, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages[e]! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?” 38 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.” When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were satisfied, 43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. 44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand. 

2 Kings 4:1:7

4 The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.” 2 Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.” 3 Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. 4 Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.” 5 She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. 6 When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing. 7 She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.”

Psalms 37:25

I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.

I am the selected one of God. Journall all the wonderful works of God in your life

Psalms 9:1

I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;     I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.

03 June 2023 Sermon – God of wonders

Audio Sermon

Dear Beloved,

Psalms 77:11-20 [MSG]

11-12 Once again I’ll go over what God has done,     lay out on the table the ancient wonders; I’ll ponder all the things you’ve accomplished,     and give a long, loving look at your acts.

13-15 O God! Your way is holy!     No god is great like God! You’re the God who makes things happen;     you showed everyone what you can do—You pulled your people out of the worst kind of trouble,    rescued the children of Jacob and Joseph.

16-19 Ocean saw you in action, God,     saw you and trembled with fear;     Deep Ocean was scared to death. Clouds belched buckets of rain,  Sky exploded with thunder,     your arrows flashing this way and that. From Whirlwind came your thundering voice,     Lightning exposed the world,     Earth reeled and rocked. You strode right through Ocean,     walked straight through roaring Ocean,     but nobody saw you come or go.

20 Hidden in the hands of Moses and Aaron, You led your people like a flock of sheep.

Job 5:8-9
8 “But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him.
9 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.

Isaiah 60:1-2
1“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
2See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.

27 May 2023 Sermon – Remain Steadfast

Audio sermon

Dear Beloved,

Zephaniah 3:17

The Lord your God is with you,     the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;     in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
    but will rejoice over you with singing.”

Some things, you are going through, the enemy may have meant it for evil, but rejoice, God will turn it out for good.

Genesis 50:20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

Philipians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

God’s promise in the begining of the Year was – You and I are going to make this journey together. Your feet in my footsteps. If you have been distracted or strayed  -this is the time to bring yourself back on track.

Psalms 16:8 I keep my eyes always on the Lord.     With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Build your foundation on the rock Jesus Christ. In the month of June- The just shall live by Faith. Whatever the enemy comes with, you have to shield it with the Word of God.

Two things do always;

  • Rejoice in the Lord
  • Always be thankful

Psalms 79:13 [MSG]

Then we, your people, the ones you love and care for,     will thank you over and over and over. We’ll tell everyone we meet     how wonderful you are, how praiseworthy you are!

Pastor Rachel Sermon

Remain Steadfast.

The Two House Builders

Matthew 7:24 “So then, anyone who hears these words of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock. 25 The rain poured down, the rivers flooded over, and the wind blew hard against that house. But it did not fall, because it was built on rock. 26 “But anyone who hears these words of mine and does not obey them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain poured down, the rivers flooded over, the wind blew hard against that house, and it fell. And what a terrible fall that was!”

Luke 12:48

Much is required from the person to whom much is given; much more is required from the person to whom much more is given.

2 Corinthians 12:7-9

7 But to keep me from being puffed up with pride because of the many wonderful things I saw, I was given a painful physical ailment, which acts as Satan’s messenger to beat me and keep me from being proud. 8 Three times I prayed to the Lord about this and asked him to take it away. 9 But his answer was: “My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak.” I am most happy, then, to be proud of my weaknesses, in order to feel the protection of Christ’s power over me.

The delay is for something good and is for your development.

Acts 19:11

11 God was performing unusual miracles through Paul.

13 May 2023 Sermon – Faith into action

Audio Sermon

 

Dear Beloved,

Meditate on Psalms 84

11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.

This is God’s word for you  in this season of miracles. No Good things will he withhold from his beloved. He will remember you like he remembered Rachel. It means your season of blessing has come. Our part is to praise God and not focus on problems. We also must live Right – according to the Word of God.

Seek God’s favour and mercy to live right.

The psalmist says – one day in House of God is worth more than thousands of days elsewhere. Seek his presence and choose to be in House of God over other conflicting  demands in life.

Pastor Rachel sermon

Our help co.es from God (Psalms121)

Faith into action

14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Look at Abraham’s example- how he offered Isaac as sacrifice trusting God

Meditate on God’s promise to Abraham in Genesis 12

 

Likewise Rahab also acted in faith when she helped the spies from Israel during the times of Joshua ( Joshua 2,6)
