Celebration Church International

At midweek service on wednesday, we received the ministry of Apostle @pst_iren as he taught oh the topic “The Ironic Disadvantages of Excellence” ✨

Salting

Nothing contrary to Scripture should be binding on a believer * The Word stands as our final authority (Isaiah 8:20) * Culture must not override truth (Romans 12:2)

Apostle showed us through scripture that even Jesus “walked in obedience through the things He suffered,” revealing that obedience and character are developed through real-life situations, not theory (Hebrews 5:8–9).

Apostle taught on the topic “The Fear of God.” 🔥 He began by emphasizing that the process of growth is as important personally as it is to God.

You cannot lick salt with a straight face, and metaphorically, this lets us see as believers that we cannot be neutral. We must not be ashamed of what we believe and standing for everything. (1 Peter 3:15)

This month, we’ll first be revisiting some biblical precepts to ensure that every believer is “where they ought to be” before we focus on going out. It’s a form of spiritual home training that ensures you are well brought up in your home and in Christ. For example, without character, you can lose the success you have in a minute. (Matthew 5:13)

To wrap up the Sunday Love Code teaching series, we had the privilege of having our Apostle pst_iren teach on Love out of Season.

In our midweek service yesterday, Pastor Laju Iren taught on Love, Money, and Power🔥 She laid the foundation by stating that true love delights in all things, but the love of money doesn’t.

Love Code

“If the salt that is to add taste to the world loses its savour, who then will restore it?” (Matthew 5:13) He explained that one major issue Jesus came to address is a religious mindset without true repentance and a sincere heart for God (Matthew 5:24; 1 John 4:20). We learned that love is a filtration system that makes our prayers clear to heaven (1 Corinthians 13:1–4). Hence emphasizing the need for love as a fruit of the Spirit. Here are key truths we learned about God’s kind of love from today’s sermon: 📍 Love is action, not just emotion. “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15). Love without action is merely a feeling. 📍 Love is a fruit of the Spirit. It is what you experience when your spirit is healthy. When your relationship with God is healthy, it improves your relationships with people.

ENDLESS LIFE FESTIVAL - OGUN STATE

ENDLESS LIFE FESTIVAL - OGUN STATE | MORNING SESSION

Apostle started by first addressing the fact that Christianity is not only about believing, but it is about becoming.

Begin with the consciousness of the gospel: The gospel is preached to sinners and taught to believers. (Romans 5:17).

He began by explaining that there are words in Scripture that appear repeatedly, and when they do, they demand our attention. One such word is “better.”

Apostle reminded us that life is not powered by hard work alone. There is mercy, and there is divine advantage. There is help that does not come from this world.

We demonstrate Christianity as only being bothered about a God that helps us win in life. This is because most people don’t understand what consecration means

EBENEZER

No guaranteed strategy makes a year better, except if the Lord wills. We may plan to do this or that, but it is not in a man’s power to direct his own steps. Our lives are ultimately guided and sustained by God.

Welcome to 2026 — our year of EBENEZER

We were reminded that Jesus actually cares about who we think He is. (Luke 21:27, Matthew 16:13–17)

📌 Christmas is the most celebrated season in the world largely because of storytelling. 📌 Storytelling shapes culture, perception, and belief. Yet, while many are open to the celebration of Christmas, they are not always open to the Christ behind it. Everyone loves Christ… until He is clearly defined.

To kick off our Seven Days of Christmas series at midweek service yesterday, Apostle taught powerfully. 🔥 He began by emphasizing the importance of genealogy, especially in a generation determined to rebrand the story of Christmas to make it culturally fitting while stripping it of its true essence. Genesis 38:26, 2 Samuel 11:1-2, 9, 15 Here are a few key takeaways from the sermon. 👇🏻

In today’s service we received a stirring word from our Apostle, @pst_iren, on the topic; ‘Faith is the Language of Revival.’ 🔥 He began by referencing Joshua 1:3 and Genesis 17:5, emphasising that the vocabulary of God calls the end from the beginning. It is a vocabulary of faith, and our confessions must align with His vocabulary ✨ Here are a few key takeaways from the sermon 👇🏻 📍 Until you embrace what God has already done, your experience will not align with what He has said. 📍 On a corporate level, we must learn to embrace the vocabulary of God. Nations are opened unto us. 📍 Every problem that arises has a solution already in place. ⚪️ Two things you must do when you hear and read God’s Word. 1. You must receive it. 2. You must do it. 📍 Whatever you do must come from a place of conviction in what God has said. 📍 Act as though what God has said has already happened. Receive it, walk like it, and talk like it. 📍 Prophetic visions will positively affect your psychology.

God’s unstoppable love is seen in our daily lives and ministries (Gen 18:18-19). Family is God’s strategy for His unstoppable move. The first time God ever spoke to a human, it was about a family (Gen 1:28).

📍Some things to put in place and follow religiously; 1. Fellowship with the brethren. 2. Your personal devotion.3. Consecration. 4. You must take action.

Sovereignty is who God is and what He does, while providence is God’s intentional, personal involvement in the details of our lives. These two truths form the foundation for creative miracles.

A word study on Israel: The name Israel is formed from two words — Sara and El. Sara means to contend, to wrestle, to fight.

Build, create, influence, and use every platform for the kingdom of God, bringing all things into obedience to Christ.

God is actually in control. When Jesus says yes, nobody can say no. God’s providence is all-encompassing: it’s God’s continuous and active involvement in sustaining, guiding, and solving all things towards the fulfillment of his purpose

Jesus Called Me Broke With our anchor scripture being Rev. 3:20, a powerful reminder that not every kind of growth is beneficial (after all, cancer is a form of growth too). A church with Jesus is complete, no matter the number. 🙏The economy of heaven is different; those the world calls rich may actually be poor. 💭 And that the modern church must balance both justice and justification, because the gospel is more than social impact, its truth, compassion, and purpose intertwined.
