Celebration Church International

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.

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

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.

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.

Leaving a Legacy

Master money, don’t serve it. (Proverbs 21:20) Plan for the future, save diligently, and resist the urge to show off. Having money doesn’t mean you can afford everything. Choose to be rich, not look rich.

We explored faith and prudence in the aspect of marriage. It was emphasised that both our spirit and mind must be actively engaged for us to make major life decisions. Here are some key points from the sermon;

The Church of Satan sometimes doesn’t outright preach anything diabolical. They encourage you to live according to your will. We must recognize that the devil is a master of deception. Even a religious endeavor designed to satisfy your appetite is controlled by the devil.

💡What are the things that happen in a revival? ✅Increased zeal and boldness. ✅ More people will preach more radically. ✅ Conviction of sin. ✅ Massive conversions. ✅ Explosive church growth. ✅ Disciples raised

Work has always been God's idea from the very beginning. In Genesis 2:8, God planted a garden, and Adam continued what God started. This shows that work was always an extension of worship, not a punishment or distraction from it.

The Working of The Spirit

Apostle explained that the desire of God is for us to draw closer to Him, not dwelling on our flaws, but embracing His charge to live fully for Him.

📌 When Nicodemus inquired of the Lord, Jesus took his focus away from the activity to the environment that produces the activity (John 3:3).

He reminded us that walking in the Spirit is a deliberate act (Luke 9:41). It requires us to see differently, not with natural sight, but through the perspective of God’s Word (2 Corinthians 5:7).

📌 The Spirit of God gives us dominion over sin, addictions, and every contrary impulse. 📌 The same power that raised Jesus is alive in us. We must not leave it dormant. (Ephesians 1:19–20) 📌 Discipline, not just gifts, is what has the capacity to take us to the top. Joseph’s story proves that consistency in righteousness can become a stepping stone for promotion. 📌 Our relationship with God is not transactional. We are sons, already seated with Him in heavenly places. (Ephesians 2:6) 📌 God’s will for us is clear. We must live as people who already carry resurrection power. We must train our spirits, exercise godliness, and yield daily to the Spirit. As we step into this week, let us embrace the reality that we are alive in Christ, sanctified, and empowered to walk above sin, fear, and every limitation.

Discerning Your Role in this Move Of God

We were reminded that Church is not an event, but a living organism to which we belong (1 Corinthians 12:12, 21)

Drawing from Matthew 9:36-38, Apostle reminded us that we are not called to merely attend church but to be the church. Unlike agriculture where harvest is the end of labor, in the Kingdom, harvest marks the beginning of labor.

In this Sermon, Apostle shared a powerful reminder about God’s design for human connection. From the very beginning, in Genesis 2:18, God declared, “It is not good for the man to be alone.”

Apostle reminded us that the enemy’s most dangerous tactic is not always open opposition, but clever imitation.

In this message from our teaching series, Apostle Emmanuel Iren explored the profound question: “Jesus: God or Just Good?”

In a world driven by opinions, trends, and emotions, what anchors your life? In this episode, we are reminded that for every believer, Scripture is the ultimate authority. We live by Sola Scriptura—“Scripture Alone.

We live in a generation that values unity without truth, where biblical convictions are often torn down in the name of freedom.

God doesn’t always speak through thunderous voices or dramatic signs. More often, His guidance is subtle—through impressions, nudges, or even silence.

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the deep connection between purpose, timing, and the will of God.

In this teaching, we’re reminded that God often moves in ways we least expect—not always in fire, wind, or earthquakes, but in whispers.

In this episode, we explore what it truly means to be led by the Good Shepherd—the One who guides, corrects, and provides for His own.

In this episode, we dive deep into the supernatural power that is unlocked when believers come together in unity to pray.

In this stirring episode, we explore how prayer is not just a tool for requests—but a weapon for spiritual stability.
