Celebration Church Int'l

As believers, our focus should be the priority of God and His Kingdom. James 1:2, 13-14.

????There are 3 ways the devil deceives believers.
- Persecution
- Temptation
- Seduction

The most common of these three is seduction. Seduction is subtle, but we can be discerning if we are vigilant. Sometimes the devil tries to use good things against the word of God in our lives - this is seduction...

It's human nature to see the red flags in other people, but not in ourselves. Being solid requires that we look inwards, examining ourselves to know if we are who God wants us to be.

To build relationships on the rock, we must first build ourselves on the rock.

How do you build yourself on the rock?

????Recognize your red flags - your weaknesses...

Luke 17:1 There will always be offenses.

❤️ The biggest reason to show love and love people as a believer is that you’re a soul winner.

❤️ Soul winning is a motive for walking in love and as you walk in love always bear in mind the people for whom Christ died.

❤️ Don’t be a stumbling block or the reason someone second-guesses God. Rom 14:13 -15

❤️ Our calling is to show forth the virtues and praises of God. You are God’s strategy for wooing the world to Christ...

For a relationship to work, it takes more than prayer, fasting and even knowing the right person.

How to make your relationship/marriage work????

❤️Approach relationship/marriage like a novice - buy books, get counsel to equip yourself. Be willing to learn.

❤️Never underestimate the amount of preparation required. You must be prepared before getting into a relationship/marriage...

One of the best things you can do for your nation is to get family right. Great nations are made by great families. ????‍????‍????????‍????‍????

Here are salient points to note about love from the bible:

- God remains the ultimate authority on the subject of marriage because He was the one who founded the institution of marriage.

- It is God who put the desire for companionship in man

- Love never fails.

- Love is not self-seeking...

The month of MARCH which has been themed 'SOLID ROOTS, SOLID FRUITS'

Lamp and Light
Spiritual roots just like physical roots need light.
John 8:12- I am the light of the world and he who follows me shall not walk in darkness
The man in Christ does not stumble in darkness. He has an inner compass that guides him.
What does light mean?
1. Light means the word of God- i.e Jesus and his gospel Mathew 4:16
2...

How to receive the Word.
How do we receive the word? We receive the word:
- By honouring the word of God above all else.
- Acknowledging the word of God as the final authority.
- By receiving the word of God with humility and meekness.
- By showing interest and paying attention to details.
- By receiving the word of God with Joy, If God says it, it is as good as done.
- By receiving the word of God with faith and expectation...

Brighter ✨
In 2 kings 6:13-16, Elisha and his servant were in the same situation but they saw things differently. Elisha’s servant was afraid of what he could physically see while Elisha was not afraid because of his spiritual enlightenment.
Your level of light is what determines your level of victory.
Why do we need light?
✨Light in the word will keep you in difficult times
✨The Man in Christ is at an advantage when it comes to the word of God- 1 Corinthians 2:9-10...

Mind Games: The State of the Heart

1 Samuel 4: 1 - 11
Things to note about the word of God
????Sacred things will only work for sacred people.

????Do not just show up in church regularly and be religious without being impacted by the word.

????Align with the word of God so you can see the power of God in your life.

????Fellowship with the spirit is important, without the fellowship the ark won’t benefit you i.e. the word of God won’t benefit you...
