As believers, we are supposed to live by principles. Proverbs 24:3. There are some evil days you can’t escape by prayer but by the proper management of your time.

There are purposes that God wants to achieve in your life, and they can't be accomplished unless you stay in the place of prayer.

Christ is not only our example in suffering but also in Bible Joy. A man who has Christ has everything.

Worry is pointless, it won’t make you better. You must learn to handle things you can’t control, God wants you to practice peace.

Title: Handling Suffering Minister: Apostle Emmanuel Iren 2 Corinthians 4:4 There is such a thing as blindness of the mind and this is what the people outside Christ experience. However, God remedies this situation by putting His Spirit within us and causing us to walk in His statutes. Ezekiel 36:26-27,31 Christianity is a miracle of changed desires. The things that were irresistible when we were in the world are no longer irresistible in Christ. Gal 5:16-18, Col 3:1-3 Joy should always be an offshoot of our location being seated with Christ Joy is not inherently an emotion for the believer. Joy is a new appetite. Joy is a miracle How do I know that I need to set my affections? 1. If I lack patience to learn: the moment you find yourself losing staying power, you need to check it. You’re not a customer in the church, you’re a disciple. 2. You hardly share the things of God: Hebrews 1:9. When last did you share a sermon excerpt with someone that you thought needed it? Joy is an appetite issue. For a child of God, it is never just about the beat in a song. Psalm 1:1-2 God’s law can become a delight for you not just a duty. Guard your heart with all diligence, like the way a Customs officer guards the border, don’t allow just anything come in, Psalm 1:32, Ephesians 5:6-11 This is how habits are built: Repetition-Easy-Often-Pleasure-Habit If Spiritual things always feel long for you, your flesh is alive. To-do: Write down what you are going to do better and what you will not do anymore and may God help you.

There is joy in things, but a permanent type of Joy called Joy in the Holy Ghost! Glory to God!

Glass Jaw The body of Christ should learn how to defend themselves and not only how to fight warfare. Here are some key points to note from the sermon: - One of the things that make people vulnerable to attacks is wrong teaching - It is a testimony of faith to endure hardship without compromise. - Faith is not marked only by what you enjoy, but also by what you endure for it. - As you go through life, you must learn to endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ. What is the mindset should every believer have toward pain? - Learn that pain can be useful - Pain is common - Pain can be prophetic - Pain is required Jesus has changed our perspective to suffering forever. You serve an all-powerful God, will you trust Him with your life?

You're an ambassador for the gospel. Whatever you do, ensure it's for the furtherance of it.

Christianity is a miracle of changed desires, and there's peace in the message of the gospel. We must always be ready to give an answer to questions asked about Christ.

Soul winning is a full-time job, never miss an opportunity to sow the seed of God’s word into someone.

There must be a total investment of your life in Christian service. You must love the way God demands it.

There is no existing power that is not under the feet of Jesus, and I am in Christ. Therefore, we trample over all principalities and powers.

In Christ, your position is more important than your experience. Your experience will fluctuate over time. The highest revelation in God is the revelation of sonship.

Thanksgiving unlocks creative miracles.🙇🏻‍♂️ Those who are fervent in making requests should also be fervent in thanksgiving.

“In a generation where everybody is telling God to do more for them, tell God you will do more for him! “ 📌Pick up God’s call

Full Gospel: •The promise of salvation •The fulfillment of salvation •The announcement of salvation

We have clarity when we embrace Christ as the interpretation of the Scriptures.

Your first primary encounter must be the Word of God. The word of God is your security, and Jesus remains the focus.

God wants all of us to come to unanimity of the faith and before we get there, we need to take Bible study seriously.

The devil's advantage is disguise. Therefore, our greatest defense against the devil is our knowledge of God's word

To be Holy means to be separate. Holiness describes excellence. Holiness describes sacredness. Holiness is not Moral Excellence

It is one thing to be a Christian and it's another thing to grow. Being in church doesn't make you grow. God is calling you Deeper.

One of the greatest privileges you can have as a believer is to be corrected by God. The goal of Deeper is to challenge our consecration.

One of the ways you can change the priority of your life is to know you won’t be here forever. Tomorrow is not promised.

Purpose is not the absence of burdens. God takes away worthless burdens and gives us meaningful ones.

One of the most important things you must know about purpose is that it is worship. We exist for his worship.

The first place to start with purpose is consecration. Worship is any action by which you demonstrate consecration to the Lord.

Bravery is simply FAITH in Him, while fear is unbelief. In divine leading, God's ability is your confidence.

When you share your doubts with God, He will give you confidence and stir your faith.

To hear the voice of God, you have to keep your flesh at bay because the flesh is constantly at war with the spirit.

We must strike a balance between following the counsel of men and following the Lord.Even the wisest men in your life can be wrong.

The Bible uses the metaphor “rod and staff” to describe God's guidance and protection. We must get comfortable with the guidance of the word of God and prioritize it above other forms of guidance.

Pursuit is the proof of desire. You must be ready to inconvenience yourself for God's sake and be ready to seek God habitually if you want to walk in divine direction.

In the Bible, there was a protocol for divine direction .There is a way to get leading from God. God is your shepherd and He want to lead you.

The Power of Your Imagination - Apostle Emmanuel Iren ✍️There are so many ways God changes the lives of people ✍️If you believe in rapture, you must believe that the agency of rapture, the Holy Ghost is already in you. Eph.3:20 -If you don't see the son of God in the word of God then you don't know the word of God. - There are things that God wants to bring into your life that he must first bring to your mind. - God often uses the power of imagination to transform the faith life of a believer. -Imagination is a gift that the lord has given you. Use it. How does this gift play a role in the miraculous? -God exceeds your expectations but your imagination is important -Experiences are powerful. However, your experience must be anchored on God’s word -Anything that you don’t believe in you shouldn’t listen to Isaiah 26:3 -Pictography: God painting pictures in our mind is a method that has long been sown into the very fabric of faith. Through types and shadows. -When you fix your mind you are open to the possibilities of God You use words to shake off thoughts! -It’s possible that you’re asking and your imagination can stir up possibilities and the dispensation of power -Learn to ponder the word of God How do you build your imagination ✍️With God's word. Rom 12:2 Renew your mind with the word of God and meditate on the word of God. ✍️With examples. Don’t compete with people you should emulate. Embrace the examples in your life ✍️You must learn to praise God like it has already happened

As a worker in God’s vineyard, there is how to serve God. This is called Reasonable service (Rom 12:2). God is still God and consistent with His own will.

God’s answer to every need of man is the presence. God doesn’t need to break chains. Chains break off on their own in the presence of God.

A true understanding of salvation leaves you with a sense of purpose and the default response to good news is to tell it.

The believer is both a son and ‘Doulos’ (slave/servant) to God. Paul in his spiritual consciousness repeatedly introduced himself as a slave of God (Phil. 1:1) even though the term carries a manifestly negative connotation.

God uses the familiar to highlight the supernatural. He also used fire to teach us revival because: 1. Fire can be extinguished 1Thess.5:19. 2. Fire can be ignited Romans 12:11

Throughout the Bible, most of God's men fulfilled ministry in a foreign land and God prospered them there. Just like them, you are brought here for such a time as this.

Our salvation is grace. Our gospel is grace. It is the summation of everything we represent as believers.

As a believer, you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you and He can be expressed in different ways. The same Holy Spirit can work through you as the need demands. Don't limit Him!

We must learn to set our affections on the things of God. Assess yourself personally to know what your priorities are and if you notice that you’re not prioritizing God and His message, make the necessary change.

We can not understand the gravity of sin until we understand two things; The utter helplessness of man and the total sovereignty of God, The only thing that can give us access to the eternal life is the lamb that was slain and its blood.

Grace is absolutely undeserved. Except you are born again you can not enter into the kingdom of God. Luke 18:12-14. We must come to God knowing that the only qualification for salvation is faith in Jesus.
