IKOYI BAPTIST CHURCH's Podcast

Say HiMost likely, everyone has personal preferences and desires. We have unique ways of doing certain things and peculiar methods of ensuring that our desires and expectations are met. Our preferences and desires are often reflected in the type of food we choose to eat, the colour of outfit we wear, the style of music we easily respond to or where we love to sit in public gatherings (if we can have our way).

Say HiThe second resolution we all need to make apart from being functioning church members, is to be a unifying church member. This is because God desires it and it is the only way the world would identify us as Christ’s disciples. Unfortunately, the church today appears more divided than ever before. This is evident in the politics we see at different levels - denominational and inter-denominational, local church internal conflicts, bitterness, unforgiveness and irreconcilable differences in local churches. The foregoing are many more reasons why the church is sick and weak. There is no way we can advance the kingdom of God the way we should when we're scattered and divided. It would be foolhardy to face the enemy when we have not set our house in order. It is my prayer that the Lord would use this study to further heal and strengthen the bond of unity in IBC and in our homes, in Jesus' Name.1. Have you ever been to an ugly church business meeting? How do you feel attending such a  meeting? What d

Say HiNo one cares about how much you know until they. know how much you care and the scriptures is clear when it alluded to the fact that the world will know is we are christians or not by the way we, who are believers act towards one another...

Say HiIt is a known fact that not all church members in a local church are functioning members. While this is quite sad and unfortunate, it is however a reflection of a deeper problem - a heart problem ! It is simply a lack of love for Jesus Christ !If you are truly born again and love Jesus Christ, you will not be satisfied with being as SMO christian, you would detest being a CEO christian

Say HiLost ground has to do with lost opportunities.There is no doubt that as individuals, families, and church, we have lost some opportunities in life. While it may look humanly impossible to recover some of these opportunities, God can still turn things around for us if we would trust Him enough.It is my prayer that the Almighty God would confirm His word this night, in the lives of as many of us as have lost some grounds in life, in Jesus' Name. May the Lord help us recover all our lost grounds as individuals, families and church in Jesus' Name. Definitions·             Recover = Return Back to a normal state of health, mind or strength.= Find or regain possession of (something stolen or lost).·             Lost Grounds = Lost opportunities, jobs, relationship etc. From our text, recovering our lost grounds would demand the ff: 1. Good Leadership - V.1.Amongst others, good leaders are loving, courageous, wise and visionary.David was, no doubt, a good leader.His leadership skills were formed duri

Say HiThe Almighty God delights in the well-being of His people - Psa. 35:17. God desires that His children enjoy the good of the land. Unfortunately, many of God’s children are far from experiencing this divine provision.  It is my prayer that everyone of us would come to experience the fulfillment of God’s promise in our lives. May the Lord help you to locate your promised land, access it and begin to eat the good of that land in Jesus Name. A.         From Isa. 1:19, which land is the Bible referring to? Gen. 11:31; 12:1-5; 49:29-32; Exod. 3:7-8; Deut. 8:1, 7-9; B.         What do you understand by the phrase- “good of the land?” Gen. 45:18. C.         What are the conditions for eating the good of the land from Isa. 1:19. D.        From Gen. 26:1-35, point out some additional principles required to possess and eat the good of the land.  E.          What is Rehoboth? What is its implication for us as individuals, families and a church? F.         What is the importance of well and water to Isaac in our tex

Say HiGod Moments

Say Hi- Most of the glory we have as believers are of the past, what is your present state?- For one who has no place with God, their silver has become dross and their wine mixed with water. (Isaiah 1:22)- A life of double standards can be said to be a life that has become dross.- What level of glory has God taken you to that has made you mess up?- How royal is our priesthood as individuals, as families, as a church and as a nation? Has our priesthood lost royalty.

Say HiConsistent encounter with God is not cheap. You must be ready to pay the following price if you would enjoy regular and consistent encounter with God:1. Daily communion in prayers - Mk.1:35. The price of early rising to meet with God. Some of only pray when we are in trouble.This is very dangerous. 2. Daily communion in the word of light - Psa. 119:105; Jer. 23:29; Heb. 4:12; Lk. 7:2-10. The word of God is very powerful.3. The word of God has the power to arrest (like a soldier) and set people free - Jn.8;32.We often encounter God through His word.4. Reading the Bible through provides us opportunity to hear God and encounter Him.5. Regular fellowship with the children of God - Heb. 11:25Regular fasting - Isa. 58: 6. Discipler - Matt. 17:1ff. One who can take you up the mountain of transfiguration. 7. Discipline - Matt. 17:1ff. Climbing the mountain is not easy but it is a glorious experience up there on the mountain. 8. A pure heart - Matt. 5:8.Only those with pure heart can see God.9. A hunger for God

Say HiHaving been enlightened, cleansed and called, Isaiah was then commissioned to go and minister to the people of God.It is evident in scripture that despite the difficult and dangerous nature of his commission, Isaiah fulfilled his ministry. It is my prayer that we all shall fulfill our ministry this year in Jesus Name.It is interesting to note that even Isaiah did arise and shine for the Lord in his own generation. You also will arise and shine this year, this decade and the rest of your life in Jesus’ Name. We would not take the grace of our God in vain.It is God’s way of giving us another opportunity to step up in His agenda for our lives - V.8a.Isaiah had actually been doing ministry for some time.At least, we see him prophesying from Chapter 1 - 5, before this uncommon encounter with God in Chapter 6.This encounter was perhaps not Isaiah’s first encounter with God.This encounter was an opportunity from God to help Isaiah step up in his calling.We all need divine encounters to help us experience progr
