POWER

  In this sermon at  Tehillah Generation Chapel , I discuss the dynamic of power that works to enable the Christian believer to firmly wield the truth of God as demonstrated in the Gospel. I discuss in a brief manner what power does in us and how we can stir Power to be effective witnesses in this world we find ourselves in. I hope it blesses you as it blessed me and those who heard it. NOTES I. Introduction  >Authority ( Exousia ) is activated on the call/commission to do/obedience: "Go ye therefore.." . Matthew 28:18-20 >Power ( Dunamis ) is activated on waiting & tarrying till you receive the potential. Acts 1:8 Authority has been given to the believer. And authority validates the use of power, however the demonstration of power authenticates the presence of Authority.  Mark 16:20 II. What Power does in you Power primarily takes us from inaction to action 1. Power makes us witnesses. Acts 1:8 2. Power makes us bold. Without Power we will remain cowards l...

Endurance: Seeing the Unseen

  Endurance is a powerful tool in God's transformative process. So much that the Bible teaches us to permit it to have its fullest work in order that we lack nothing, thoroughly furnished for every good work.  However, we can truncate the work of Endurance. Esau did when he exchanged his birthright for food. Moses did when he struck the rock God asked to speak to in his anger. John the Baptist did when he began to question His insight on the Messiah when Christ did not seem to rescue him.  Endurance may not always lead to our desired outcome. In fact, it may rather bring us to our perception of disappointment. But, the key is that in every instance of Endurance, we must have an eternal perspective, His perspective of victory. Hebrews 12 said "... who for the joy set before him, endured the cross and despised the shame". Hebrews 11 said "Abraham endured as seeing Him who is unseen". In the parable of the sower, Jesus said persecution [the rising hot sun] arises b...

Praying with Certainty

  For the first 20 minutes of this sermon video, I reflect on the sentiment of Ghanaians in the 2024 Elections. I give my personal admonition of what it will take to be a leader that serves the highest interests of the people and God. I share my summary notes on the Godly attributes of effective leadership, pulled from  my Instagram  page which I shared in July 2023. I recommend these few values for political leadership as well. After 20 minutes, during the main portions of this sermon I shared with  Tehillah Generation Chapel , I teach about Praying with Certainty in a way that guarantees answers ultimately consistent with the will of God. True Prayer will set God's vision for what has been provided and indicates what can be received. ,Job 38:33, Ephesians 1:3 You can receive nothing except given to you from heaven. John 3:27 We must be filled with the knowledge of God's will to ascertain what is accessible to is. Colossians 1:9 Once, the will of God is established...

Seen & Heard (A Poetic Expression)

  It is said that humans have a deep desire to be seen & heard Paradoxically, we cover up our nakedness after we became dead So, is vulnerability a weakness or a strength? Because I struggle to live its full length I feel that my experience of betrayal makes it hard to trust  That when I open up to you, your sword will not thrust No matter how trivial, it is a great responsibility to see another bare Because, you never know when you are the last one to really care So, true love does not keep a record of wrong, it covers a multitude of sin God is the only one who truly has the ability to put its memory in a nonrecycle bin To truly love another, we must become like the One who personifies it Until then, we risk the insincerity of selfish love shred another to bits Knoweth the difference between the Pharisees & the few who came to Jesus? Some determined to be sincere about their religious excess Others were skeletons in a closet, Jesus called them whitewashed tombs I'm no...

It is Okay to Be Human

  In this raw discussion starting at 1:55 in the audio, I teach about why it is okay to be a human being. We do not have a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our human infirmity. The Holy Spirit also bears with our weakness, because while we are unable to pray as we ought to, He makes intercession for us according to God's will. God, our Father tells us that just like a Mother's care will not cease towards her offspring, He will not forsake us. Man gets hungry, tired and is often laden with regular and often seemingly insurmountable desires. God in Christ Jesus understands how we feel and we get to learn how he traversed his humanity while on earth. We also learn from some old saints & the witness of scripture. The uncut baseline is "IT IS OKAY TO BE HUMAN!"

Tithing: Mandatory or Voluntary?

    In this discussion with  N. K. Emmanuel  at the  Believers' Avenue , we talk about  Tithing , a topic that has more recently become an item of controversy as many battle the demands of the Old Testament Law against the Liberty of the New Covenant and its implications for the Believer today. Tithing in general was a practiced concept before the inception of the Old Covenant, the Law given by Moses. Thus, the practice isn't limited by the bounds of the Old Covenant Law. However, there's still an opportunity to the New Testament to avail their tithes as the scripture says in Hebrews 7:8, "... but there he receiveth them". Tithing generally as a New Testament practice is not a demand but rather an avenue to give in a special way that is cognisant of the Covenant of Promises we have received. Like many New Testament practices that stem prior to the advent of Christ, Tithing is one of those that God is not frowning upon, & neither has He forced it. G...

"There Shall Be a Performance " - Week of the Altar

  In this sermon, this teaching is culled from the theme scripture, Luke 1:45 which says "And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord". I teach at Tehillah Generation Chapel  during our November, 2023 Week of the Altar Conference about the blessed importance of receiving what God has to say to us in His Word and in His Voice to us.  The scripture as a record of man's experience with God presents a relevant body of text that decrypts the character and mindset of God. With the scripture, we can shape our minds' perspectives to filter out contrary voices to that of the Lord's. God's sheep hear God's voice, and a stranger's voice they won't follow. I share personal testimonies about myself and a bit of my experience with the comforting Voice and Word of God despite a few challenging circumstances.

Aligning with the Will of God - 2 Agendas

  There are two Agendas: 1. The Will of God 2. Rebellion against the Will of God: the will of man outside of God's control is often manipulated by the devil (Matthew 16:23) We must understand the following : 1. Understand what the Will of God is. (Ephesians 5:17) 2. Prove what the Will of God is. (Romans 12:2) 3. Blessings flow in agreement with God's Will and Curses flow in rebellion against God's Will and Design. (Genesis 12:1-3, Isaiah 1:19) To align with God's Will, we must understand the governing design around our Souls (Psyche: Psuche) 1. Renewal of Mind (Ephesians 4:23, Romans 8:6) 2. Steps & Actions Ordered by His Word (Psalm 119:133, Psalm 119:105) 3. Principle of of losing your life (psuche: soul) to find it (John 12:24-26) 4. Principle of (Patience) Enduring Suffering (Luke 21:19) 5. Abstinence from things that trouble your soul (1 Peter 2:11, 2 Peter 2:8): Programmings of lust and visible lasciviousness cause harm to our souls. 6. Spirit-led (Proverbs ...

Building a Dwelling Place for God

  This is a teaching at an evening midweek service at  Tehillah Generation Chapel . This teaching exposes the dynamics for the Christian believer to host the presence of God in their lives in the life of a congregation. I teach on the Principles of Obedience, offering a sacrifice of Praise, Gathering to His purpose, becoming our God-given identity in order to construct a safe-dwelling for God's abiding presence.

Salt And Light: A Call for Relevance in this World through Love

  Jesus calls Believers the Salt of the earth and the Light of the world in Matthew 5. When we ponder about this, we can realise a common effect that salt and light have: The ability to reveal taste and colour in the substances and spaces they permeate. Salt reveals taste in edible substances. Light also provides clarity in a situation or place. Salt is useful when it adds taste just as light is useful when it provides illumination for those who need it. So the focus of God’s administration of salt and light is not to bring attention to themselves, but to bring an awareness to the flavours obscured and unseen elements in this world. So Jesus calls us to preserve our saltiness and avoid putting a lit candle under a basket. He then tells us believers to let (permit, allow) our lights to so shine so men would see our good works and give glory to God.  Our influence of light brings illumination to the God-ordained good works we walk in and the evil works of darkness. Good works ex...

How, Why & When Will God Judge Christians?

  In this discussion with my brother N. K. Emmanuel  on Believers Avenue  Channels, we delve into the nuances of the Christian Biblical Perspective of Judgment for Christian believers. I believe this will be very informative and educative in a unique way for anyone who seeks to understand God's Reward & Punitive System of Justice for Mankind.

Why Does A Good God Allow Suffering & Evil (Parts 1 & 2)

  In this revelatory discussion with my brother,  N. K. Emmanuel  at  Believers Avenue , we talk about the basis for suffering in this world despite the presence of a Good & Potent God. In this mind and heart transforming discussion, we review the unfolding Power and Goodness of God in an unusual way. Watch, be blessed and educated.

The Blessed Man's 3 Ps

From the premises of  Tehillah Generation Chapel , this teaching is based on the Introductory Psalm, Psalms Chapter 1. In this, I discuss the governing position, posture and procession of the Blessed Man as he/she meditates on the scriptures to make them a living part of his/her life. This will transform your life as you listen.

The Princes of this World

  In this teaching at  Tehillah Generation Chapel , this sermon is culled from the writing of Paul to the Church of Ephesus and in it we discuss the invisible influence of supernatural evil entities, that seek to control the world. We lay down a biblical and Christian application for overcoming their influence over our lives that results in a victorious life in Christ Jesus.

Exposition from the Book of Ephesians Chapter One

  From the auspices of  Tehillah Generation Chapel , we expound on the First Chapter of Paul's Writing to the Church of Ephesus. Paul called it "His Understanding of the mystery, written afore in a few words". This Epistle teaches us God's Express Will for His Ultimate Creation, the Church.

5 Dimensions of Our Walk with Christ

1. Believer - The incidence of faith in Christ Jesus, when you've just received eternal Life: John 3:15-16, Romans 10:8-11 - Abraham’s faith was counted as righteousness to him: Genesis 15:6 - Every man is given a measure of faith: Romans 12:3 - To grow in faith & righteousness, you must learn to hear the word & apply it. - The biggest hindrances to faith are Unbelief, doubt & fear: Both can be cured by: - Prayer: Matthew 17:14-21 - Walking in perfect/Complete sincere love: 1 John 2:5; 4:12, 17, 18 - Standing strong & Persevering in the Word & Faith through Meditation 2. Disciple - The moment you let go of yourself & excuses so you can imitate & learn from Jesus Christ: Luke 14:26-27 - You are also to learn to imitate qualities in others that are Christlike: 1 Corinthians 11:1 - Be careful that you are not drawn away by people who desire people to become disciples after them, speaking perverse/strange things: Acts 20:28-32 3. Serv...

From Childhood to Sonship (A Roadmap for Perfection, Maturity & Inheritance Access)

  NB: Apologies for lack of clarity in Sound in early part of video, it gets better In this exposition at  Tehillah Generation Chapel , we discuss a roadmap to Spiritual Growth & Maturity and how it affects how we will be able to access our inheritance in Christ.  We discuss Growth Markers such as Thought patterns, Ability to Comprehend & Speech in the life of the believer as Paul said "when I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child and understood as a child but when I became a man, I put away childish things" Key illustrations include Jesus' teaching of the Prodigal Son, who was thought to squander his inheritance because of childishness ( called neoteros: recently born ) and a refusal of submission to the authority and supervision his Father. His repentant return is met with a full restoration through celebration and a welcome love reunion with his Father. On the other hand, the elder son couldn't enjoy his inheritance because he operated a...
