Ambience: The Jealousy of God
Here are some important points to remember:
???? The presence and provision of God is in his purpose.
???? The biggest principle of Power is not in prayer and fasting but in purpose
???? When you find yourself in the center of God’s will, you will see and walk in power.
???? You don’t just wake up and follow trends as a Christian. You must inquire of the Lord...

Our Apostle Iren exhorted us in the word of God and it was so instructive.????
- Be committed to the place of fellowship with the saints. Do not give up at the slightest inconvenience.
- Christianity isn’t only about what you were delivered from, it’s also what you are delivered into.
- You’ve were adopted into God’s family
- When choosing a church, choose with the conviction of the Spirit.
- The books in the New Testament were to churches and not lone Christians...

Key points to note:
- Having a thankful disposition wherever you find yourself is the will of God.
- There is something wrong when you find yourself complaining more than giving thanks.
- Your voice of rejoicing should be louder than your voice of your request.

Here are five reasons we should give thanks:
???? It is the will of God.
???? A thankful heart is a great indicator of spiritual growth.
???? Thank God for who He is...

- We must see Christmas as an opportunity to tell someone about Jesus.
- Christmas represents God and sinner reconciled.
- Jesus is worth the celebration!

As we celebrate Christmas, we must emphasize that Christ remains the reason for the season...
