Now In Christ

  Genesis 37:5 - And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more . Joseph's hatred by his brother became worse when he shared his dream with them. Though it started with his father's exception love for him, relating his dream to his brothers amplified it. When they eventually sold him into slavery, one of said, let us see how he will achieve his dreams: Genesis 37:18-20 [18]And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. [19]And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. [20]Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams. Everyone   aiming to destroy your God-given dream shall fall for your sake in Jesus name. Whatsoever they are planning against you shall come upon them terribly in Jesus' name. LET'S PRAY 1. Worship God passionately in s...

  Text: Psalm 118:6 – “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” INTRODUCTION Dear one, I came to remind you that despite the wars that encircle your life, God is on your side! David, encircled on every side by wars, plots, and evil men, stood firm and declared: "The Lord is for me; I will not be afraid." For who shall be against us when God is with us? (Romans 8:31). No hellish power, no man's conspiracy, no family altar is greater than a life that has God's support. 1. THE MEANING OF "THE LORD IS ON MY SIDE" It is to say you are not alone in the fight (Exodus 14:14 – "The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace."). It implies that you are protected (Psalm 91:2 – "He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust."). It implies that you have a guaranteed victory (2 Chronicles 20:15 – "The battle is not yours, but God's"). 2. THE IMPLICATIONS OF GOD BEING ON YOUR SIDE Fear ...

Text: Psalm 57:4 – “ My soul is among lions : and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.” INTRODUCTION Beloved, life is a battlefield and not a playground. We live in a world where wickedness exists. The Psalmist here says, “ My soul is among lions. ” There are powers that behave like lions, always ready to tear destinies, devour lives, and swallow progress. But I came to announce to you today: " every lion roaring against your destiny shall be silenced by fire!" 1. THE REALITY OF THE LIONS OF LIFE These lions represent enemies of destiny. Some are spiritual lions - demonic forces (1 Peter 5:8: “Your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”). Some are human lions -  wicked men and women whose teeth are like spears, whose words are like arrows. David faced Saul, Goliath, and conspirators—men who became lions against his destiny. You too may...

“ For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…” – Proverbs 23:7 “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” – Romans 8:37 Introduction Brethren, there’s a way overcomers think, speak, and act. Victory in life is not first won on the battlefield — it’s first won in the mind. Many people have the potential to succeed, but their minds are wired for defeat. An overcomer’s mindset is shaped by God’s Word, filled with faith, and unshaken by the storms of life. Today, we will see from the Scriptures how to develop this mindset so that no matter what life throws at us — challenges, persecution, delays — we will emerge victorious. 1. Understanding the Mindset of Overcomers a) Overcomers see victory before the battle begins. David saw Goliath as bread for the eating (1 Samuel 17:45–47) Caleb and Joshua saw the Promised Land while others saw giants (Numbers 14:6–9) b) Overcomers are not controlled by what they see, but by what God has said (2 Corinthians 5:7) ...

  THEME: LET US CROSS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE ( Mark 4:35-37 )     And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.    – Mark 4:35 -37   There is something good and beautiful on the other side that made Jesus want his disciple to crossover to “the other side” with him. The devil knew that Jesus had a good plan for his disciples and so he did not want them to get to the other side. So, he caused a great storm to arise. His plan was to stop them from enjoying their purposed divine blessing. Thank God who by his superior power calmed the tempest of the sea. Beloved, God has better plans for all of us his children in the year 2025. This   plan is to favour, uplift, ...
