Say HiThe end of one year and the beginning of another is usually an opportunity to look back to what has been and to look forward to what can be. As much as we try not to remember our mistakes and failures and be soaked with guilts and fears, such can help us positively if we can learn a lesson or two that will make us avoid such mistakes.The beginning of another year can bring us new hope as well as new apprehensions. We must, therefore, hold on to the teachings of the Bible that say “Ask and you shall receive, Seek and you shall find and Knock and the door shall be opened unto you” (Matt 7:7).A proud man never asks for anything but the humble man will ask (not as a begger) as one who shows that no man is self-sufficient. To Seek will demand time as well as strength and energy. The best thing to Seek to do in 2016 is to please the LORD. Brethren, life is never totally peaceful, it is an ongoing process. We shall encounter changes in many areas of our lives. But God is constant. Let us yield to God complete

Say HiHOW DO YOU GOOD?1.Do you see God as an authoritative God who is highly judgmental and very engaged in the world, policing offenders in order to pounce on them when they do something wrong?2.Do you see God as a “critical God” who is totally removed from daily events but will render judgment in the afterlife? This might have come from the passage “it is appointed for man once to die after this judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).3.Do you see God as relating to man on a personal relationship, like a friendship, like a companionship who is always there for you when no one else is? You characterize the Almighty God as a “benevolent God” who is thoroughly involved in your life but is loving not stern?4.Do you see God as a “distant God” who set the Universe in a motion but then disengaged?The way you view God will surely affect your behaviour morally, spiritually and politically. If you believe that God is policing people around, then you want to act as God’s agent of ridding the world of evildoers. If your God is critic

Say HiIBC REVIVAL WEEK, 2015Topic: In Christ Alone, We Are FulfilledAnchor Scripture: Philippians 3:1-11Gadgets, Clothing, Education, Getting Married, Cars, Choice Properties does not give fulfillment. As Christians, we must strive to know the Power, Purpose and Person of Christ.When we seek fulfillment only in Christ, these things will happen to us:1.) (Satisfaction): Philippians 1: 21-For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.2.) (Sufficiency): Philippians 4;13:I- can do all this through him who gives me strength.3.) (Security): 2 Timothy 1:12- For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.Where do you seek fulfillment from? Change your focus and rely solely on Jesus.The Lord bless you

Say HiGETTING THE MOST OUT OF CHURCH REVIVALIt is a good assumption to say that every Church member wants to be revived or renewed. But some of us do not prepare ourselves for God’s movement in His Church. As we begin our revival meetings today, here are few tips on how to get the most out of our Church revival:1.Be Broken: No one can truly draw closer to God unless one is truly broken inside. Brokenness simply means that you should accept the fact that you have flaws or weaknesses in your life and you need the Lord to strengthen you. A proud person cannot receive anything good from the Lord because God distastes the proud. But a person with a contrite heart and broken spirit God will not ignore.2.Clear Your Schedule Of Other Commitments: Revivals often start in the evening and may end late into the night. Shut the world off and concentrate on the service. Devote the time of revival to God and cancel any prior or new appointments for that period of revival.3.Rebuke The Spirit Of Sleep And Wandering Mind: Rest

Say HiDay 2 of IBC Revival Week

Say HiThe saying is true that in the world nothing is free even in Freedom. While mankind will do something good for another human with string attached, only Jesus can offer us the ultimate gift of salvation without price. Salvation is free in Jesus for we can only be saved by grace and not of works lest any man should boast.In Luke 9:23, Jesus gave a conditional sentence when He said “If anyone comes after me, let him deny himself ….” The free salvation must be accepted by the individual in order to be actualized or appropriated. Christ will not force anyone to follow Him. He has everything good to offer but each one has to decide to accept or reject the offer.Since none can save himself from the consequence of sin but must cling to the finished work of salvation of Christ, we can show our appreciation by loving Him more than ourselves. Nothing must come before Christ in our affection, our devotion and our commitment. Only Jesus can save. Come to Jesus today and you will be the one to benefit everything Jesu

Say HiTHE TIME IS NEAR! ARE YOU READY?Were you able to say "Yes!" with confidence? Or, did you honestly have to answer "No" along with a sense of fear or uneasiness in your heart? Or, do you ask yourself, “What is salvation?” Salvation is the deliverance, by the grace of God, from eternal punishment for sin. It is granted to those who accept, by faith, God's conditions of repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus. Accepting Christ is the most important decision you can ever make in life. That decision assures eternal joy as opposed to eternal damnation. This decision outweighs your wedding, birth of a child, job promotion, etc. Do you want eternal joy, love and peace? When Jesus returns, do you want to go to heaven with Him and live forever with Him in the eternal Holy City?If you are not saved, meaning that you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we hope that you will make the decision right now to accept Him as your Savior and follow Him. If you are already saved,

Say HiThree facts about doors:1.A door can be a point of entry: opportunities before us. You will2.A door can be a point of exit.3.A door opens and closesThree major doors God is bringing you out of:1.The door of captivity2.The door of stagnation3.The door of shame and ridiculeTo come out of these kinds of doors, you need three things1.Light 2.A special voice.

Say HiNOTE FROM THE PASTOR’S CORNER:Life is full of many uncertainties. God never promised us a lifefree from Challenges, but a victorious life. A victorious life isone that has encountered challenges- ranging from delays,disappointments, discouragements and dangers but overcomesall. God is never late, He transcends time and eternity andmakes all things beautiful in His time. He knows the best for us,He knows how to do them and He arrives just in time to makethem happen

Say HiOur lives are filled with challenges. The entire world is full of chaos, insecurity, economic meltdown, disappointments, frustrations, sicknesses and diseases. Situation presents itself as if there is no solution. In all these, the heart is weighed down, bombarded with lots of questions begging for answers. But the scripture says in Psalm 46:4-5 “There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at the break of day.” There is hope for you, there is hope for Nigeria, no matter the situation we find ourselves God is able to make a way

Say HiTHE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RESURRECTIONThat Jesus Christ was raised from dead should cause no debate. It is an undeniable fact and whoever tries to contest it will be speaking from pure ignorance.Resurrection confirms that Jesus is who He claimed to be. He is truly the “I AM” who is the Son of God the Father. The resurrection from the dead proved that Jesus Christ was divine. Christ’s death on the cross was important but resurrection made salvation complete. By rising from the dead Jesus proved His authority and power to break the bonds of sin and gives the assurance for forgiveness and eternal life to all who accept His gift of salvation.Resurrection revealed Christ’s power over death. Romans 6:9 says “Christ rose from the dead and will never die again, Death no longer has any power over Him.” Now, the power that raised Jesus from the dead will also raise all believers from the grave into glory along with Christ (Eph. 2:6).The resurrection of Christ brought the final and decisive defeat over Satan who h
