Say HiThe Deacon’s ministry is one of God’s gifts to the body of Christ. It was necessitated by the rapid growth of the early church and its attendant challenges. In order to deal with the protest from the Grecian Jews over the neglect of their widows in the church welfare program, the Lord led the Apostles to direct the congregation to choose seven men who could be trusted with the business of serving tables, and thereby deal with the emerging crisis. The result of this decision was positive for the early church. The scripture attest to this in Acts 6:7Unfortunately, the trajectory of the Diaconate ministry in some contemporary churches is a complete deviation. Deaconship has been more of a curse in some churches than a blessing. This however should not be so for any reason. It is therefore important that we re-discover God’s purpose for the Deacon’s Ministry. This would help us to operate according to Biblical pattern and thus experience the benefits that accrue from it.The Lord has helped Ikoyi Baptist Chu

He has done this from month to month and He will still do it for us this month by His Spirit in Jesus’ name.However, a major hindrance to progress in life are cursesA curse is a negative empowerment to fail.If you have seen the effects of curses, you will not deny the reality of curses. It is my prayer that every curse on any of our lives be broken today in Jesus’ name. Some Important Facts About CursesCurses can be very devastating and tragic in their effects - Zech. 5:3-4.Curses can be in operation for a lifetime if not terminated - Josh. 16:34; 1 Kg. 16:34.Curses can be on objects, people, places and communities - Josh. 9:23-27; 2 Kg.2:19Curses only thrive where sin exists - Prov.Curses can be from G

Say HiToday I would be so honoured to be God's words to you.Leading your church through change. Philippians 4:8-13.Pay attention to things that are true, loving, just, noble if they are of good report. Somethings we want to do certain things but for lack of opportunity, what used to be back then cannot suffice right now, things would continue to change, the only thing that is constant is CHANGE, humans do not accept change. That is one thing with humans we have issues with change no matter how easy it is to accept.Man of 3 Cs Context Content and Concept. We must develop a positive attitude towards change. It is a process of growth that brings a man to a certain position. The word of God commands it, it is in the mind of God that people continue to grow Matthew 28;18-20 the reason we have to continue to grow is because the needs of people for repentance, reading 2 Corinthians 5:14, 2 Peter 3:9, God is always waiting for people to repent. The church needs to grow because people need Jesus, God wants his ch

Say HiThe Spirit-Filled Church, Acts 2: 1-11The Lord Jesus Christ established the of the new testament and He is committed to building the church with assurance in Matthew 16:18, thank God for the commitment of Christ in building the church, one way in which the Lord is building the church is through the Holy Spirit. When Jesus was leaving he told His disciples that he won't leave them as orphans, that he won't leave them without the comfort. We must be a spirit filled church no local church can fulfil the purpose for which he is born without the Holy Spirit Acts 1:8-9.If our reach would extend beyond our Jerusalem we cannot do it alone we need the help of the Holy Spirit. No local church can take territories and become of global relevance without the fire of the holy spirit in their lives. Matthew 3:11, Luke 3:16, I pray tonight you will catch fire in the name of Jesus... Amen

Say HiROAST: Keeping Your Marriage Alive... Proverbs 12:27You will be wondering how does it relate to marriage?The fisherman is also a hunter in a sense and every man who is marriage has been a hunter before. All of us here hunted one time or the order. We all hunted and God gave us victory and he gave us wonderful preys. It is the lazy man who after going for hunting who would say i would go and sleep first i would come back to this and then you realise all your efforts have gone to waste. Even if you marriage is made from heaven you must work at it to make i work to make it succeed.

Say HiOne of the visions that our forefathers in IBC had from our church’s earliest beginning was a congregation that would be Jesus’ light bearers and light givers. This is reflected in some of our old bulletins that show a hand holding a torch, with a caption at the top of the cover page that reads: “The LIGHT of the world is JESUS, Come to the LIGHT at IKOYI BAPTIST CHURCH.” We, however, neither have a record of how they came about this revelation nor the particular scripture that can be referred to as their bearing. The recent past and present generation took this matter further by adopting a logo with light. It is now a standard practice that all IBC daughter churches bear names that have light as either a prefix or suffix. While we celebrate the efforts, labors and the grace of God on our forefathers, necessity is however laid on the present generation of IBC Pastors and members to complete what they started. This include: knowing God’s mind as regards the scripture that conveys God’s purpose for our lo
