Topic: NEVER GIVE UP
Text: Hebrews 12:1-2

Today we are going to be looking at the topic NEVER GIVE Up—It Is Not Over. In recent times, a lot of things have been happening, but all in all, don't give up. Our bible passage is going to be from Heb. 12:1-2 and it says: "[1] Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, [2] Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

The word I want us to pick out and focus on today is patience. In recent times, patience has been critically important to what you and I need to go through this life. What is that thing you're going through? Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith, but with patience.

The world is in a state of crisis right now; there are more and more people turning away from God, and because of this, they have given up.

▫The word of God is saying to you and me today: never give up! Be patient.

In order to grow, what are some of the things you need to throw away?
1. Eavesdropping: this means to hear or give hearing to other people's conversations. It is a situation where you listen to and take the sayings of other people into consideration instead of yourself and God; if you fail this, you'll keep going astray.

2. Complaints: this involves discussing your issues with others. When you develop the habit of discussing your issues without looking for a solution from God, you know you have to throw it away.

3. Mockery: we do this even without knowing; it just indicates that God is not capable of dealing with our situation. Also avoid destiny killers, people who have given up on you and will see that nothing good comes out of you; they can make you mock God.

4. Lack of belief: believing in God is faith, and faith is patience; when you believe in God, He will make all things possible.

5. Avoid laziness: In our last meeting here on Sunday, we talked about how a little amount of cash can start a business. You can start doing something, even something small. In recent times, people have turned into corporate beggars. Don't be like that.

6. Unrealistic goals: never set targets that are unachievable; try to look at your goal plans again and let them be realistic plans.

7. Avoid borrowing and have patience.

In Esther 4, Queen Esther was a woman of great patience. She was patient in waiting on the Lord and in His divine guidance in knowing how to help her people, even when it seemed like all hopes were lost, she persevered and remained faithful. In the end, she was able to save her people from destruction.

Things to do in order not to give up;
1. Read and study the word of God - Josh. 1:8
2. Pray, pray and pray until something happens
3. Have faith in God
4. Trust yourself, and trust in God

What are you looking for that God cannot provide for you? Is it money, the fruit of the womb, stability, or growth? Focus on Him daily and cry unto Him every hour because His word has declared your victory already. Remember, no man can save you but only God.

Rise up let us pray:
▪Tell Him thank you for being a good Father!

YOUTH SUPER SUNDAY
9th July, 2023



Minister: Sister Grace Godwin
Topic: FAITH-FRUITS
Text: Hebrews 11:1–6

[1] Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [6] But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

If you diligently seek God, that's when you'll see faith at work.

What is faith? Faith is the assurance and confidence that what we hope for will actually happen. When we say a faith is fruitful, it's when it never gives up on its belief, so this brings up the question, do we have faith? How strong is our faith? Is it when the breeze blows that you start being negative or fall by the wayside? I want you to look at your faith again today.

I want us to use the case of Ruth from Ruth 1:1–22. Ruth, Orpah and their mother-in-law Naomi all lost their husbands, and things got worse for them even to eat. This made Naomi petition her daughters-in-law to return to their father's house or remain on their own in Moab so she could go out alone to find help since survival was now difficult for them. Orpah agreed to stay back, but Ruth refused, saying she must go with Naomi no matter where she goes. The bible said two people had similar options (Ruth and Orpah), but only one person decided to persevere, to strife and to retain her faith no matter the situation they were going through.

Ruth said, 'in the midst of this whole turbulence, trials, challenges and blessings, I will be with you'. This is practical faith on display. In faith there is patience; you can't claim to have faith without having patience, endurance, and perseverance, just like the case with Abraham, who got an everlasting blessing from the Lord.

1Cor. 15:58: I want to urge everybody today to be steadfast in the faith because everybody has their own reward. At the appointed time, your blessings will arise.

There are other cases with similar experiences and results, like Daniel (Dan. 1:8, 2Tim. 1:12), where the Bible says he chose in his heart not to satisfy himself with the portion of the King's meat. What about the three Hebrew boys? They stood their faith never to bow to a strange God (Dan. 3:17). No matter what you face, keep hope alive, keep believing in God, and I see Him changing lives here in Jesus name.

Truth be told, if those circumstances do not occur, how do you test your faith? How do you know how strong your mindset and belief are towards God? If the Lord did it for Hannah, Sarah and Job, He too can do it for you.

It is when you commit your life and situation to God that He can secure and flourish it for you. As a youth, you may have so many questions about life and your experiences, but do you think God can forsake you? God does not owe any man anything; He uses what you have to grant you your desired multiplication.

Don't complain, stay focused and act just as Ruth did, she believed and stayed strong in her faith. Let this be your confession today until that which God promised is accomplished. Never relent in faith; believe God, and it will be counted to you in righteousness.

Shall we rise to our feet and thank the Lord for this opportunity and for this privilege to believe again;
°Say Father, help and encourage me as a youth to be at the center of your will.

°Say Father, uphold me with your right hand that the wind of the word shall not blow me away.

CHARGE AGAIN - DAY ONE
Theme: My Appointed Time
Habakkuk 2:3



Guest minister: Dcn. Godwill Uranta

Something is about to happen after today, you will have an encounter In Jesus Name... We are going to pray:

Psa. 41:5
]Say Father; anyone dragging what is mine, trying to kill me before my time, let them die.

Psa. 41:9
]Say Father; as I begin to pray, anyone who has eaten my salt or tasted my pepper and is trying to poison me before my time, let them poison themselves.

Job 16:18
]Say oh earth; you cannot cover my blood, my blood is too hot for you to cover.

Jer. 12:14
]Say Father; every evil neighbor working against my life and progress, what are you waiting, for expire by fire.

This is not just a night; it is a privilege. Please celebrate our mummy, celebrate our choir and now celebrate yourself.

Job 14:14 'If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.' To every appointed time there is a waiting, until you can wait, you cannot get to your time. Everything in life has seasons and times. Job knew this, which is why he told us that he waited until his change came.

The level of your Christianity is impatience, and that is our problem, we want everything now now.

For me as a man, if I give you an appointment to meet me, I must also give you a time; until it gets to that time, you cannot see me, but many of us can't just wait for any reason, patience is not there. The same way God uses to bless another person is not the same way He will use to bless you. Don't envy; all you have to do is wait for your time.

Everything that is happening now on Earth has waited for its appointed time, even the prophecies of Jesus. If it is not yet time, it cannot be your time, so you must wait; the Bible says that the Lord overturned and overturned until He got to the right time.

In 2Sam. 9; the Bible also records that David looked for somebody in the house of Saul to show good to for Jonathan's sake; that did not just happen until it got to a certain time.

There are people today in this auditorium looking at me like an angel, there is no single repentance in them, but it does not matter, when your appointed time comes, it shall still be your own.

Don't allow your enemies to meet you where they met you before, it means there is no progress in your life. I try to define what envy is, it simply means there is progress in your life because the moment they envy you, God will be blessing you. Don't complain; just bless God because your appointed time is getting close.

°If your appointed time is now, let me hear you say Amen!

If God wants to bless you, even the people that do not like you will help to lift you up. Don't serve God with means; serve Him with a genuine heart, because I have never seen anyone who served and suffered.

James 5:7-8: tell your neighbor, be patient!

YOUTH SUPER SUNDAY
TRAINING WEEKEND 2023



Minister: Bro. Dennis Inya
Topic: GRATEFULNESS: AN ACT OF A TEACHABLE HEART
Text: Luke 17:12-19

This Training Weekend started from thursday, we had a very wonderful session where we talked about thanksgiving. There are so many benefits in thanking God, in all the things we learn from the bible, if we put them to daily use, this life will be better off. For example: if you give something to someone and the person comes back to appreciate you, you will be moved to do more for that person, same it is with our God.

Thanksgiving is not negotiable for we believers, it is indispensable.

That Thursday, we talked about what thanksgiving is, why we give thanks, the contents of thanksgiving and its benefits but today we'll be talking about gratefulness: an act of a teachable heart and we'll be reading from Luke 17:12-19.

An unteachable heart is blinded (Eph 4:18). This explains why it is ignorant, lacking proper knowledge and understanding. The blinded heart cannot see as it ought to see. Its perception will be negative or absurd. It is, therefore, thoughtless and becomes ungrateful. Gratefulness can only be seen in someone whose heart is opened to scriptural truths. (Eph. 4:21)

1. WE OUGHT TO LEARN GRATEFULNESS FROM THE BEGINNING
The word of God is full of examples and teachings on thankfulness. If any child of God fails to imbibe that attitude, it simply implies he has refused to learn – Gen. 4:3-8, Gen. 8:18-22, 1Kng. 3:3-5, Lev. 22:29, Psa. 100:4.

God demands praise, worship, gifts, adoration, and testimonies as acts of gratitude. This He has said in His word repeatedly - Phil. 4:6, Col. 2:7, Psa. 92:1, Psa. 69:30, Psa. 72:13, Isa. 42:8.

Everyone who is thankful receives greater visitation and blessings. Dan. 2:23, 1Kng. 3:5, Gen. 9:1-3, Luk. 17:17-109.

Understanding the very essence of gratefulness is enough to spur a man into a life of endless thankfulness to God but many of us still murmur and complain as the wilderness church did. It simply implies such people have been unteachable – Psa. 57:7, Psa. 106:1, Psa. 108:1, Heb. 13:15.

2. IT IS DANGEROUS TO HABOUR UNGRATEFULNESS OF HEART
The evidence of such heart is murmurings and complaining to God and men. The people who refused to learn from the past and followed the path of ingratitude perished in the wilderness. These things are for our examples - Num. 14:21-24, 1Cor. 10:10, Phil. 2:4.

CONCLUSION: The teachable heart is always grateful. It is a wise heart, an understanding heart, a thoughtful heart and an illuminated heart. The blinded heart is ungrateful, thoughtless and selfish - Jude 1:16. The path of the ingrate is hard while gratefulness itself is a medicine that heals depression. Prov. 17:22.

JUNE THANKSGIVING SERVICE
Sunday 4th June, 2023

Minister: Pastor E. A. Adeboye
Topic: THE UNLIMITED GOD
Text: Jeremiah 32:27

This morning we are talking about, 'THE UNLIMITED GOD.' Our text will be Jeremiah 32:27. When God asks a question, He is probably not even expecting an answer from you because He is the answer himself. The Lord God of all flesh is asking the flesh, "Is there anything too hard for me?" We are talking about the unlimited God - 2 words here: 'unlimited' and 'God.' God is a noun so we start by defining Him because there are all kinds of gods around so we need to know which one we are talking about.

Who is God?
The God we are talking about is the one in Genesis 1:1. He is the creator of all things. The one who was at the very beginning.

Unlimited is a combination of 2 words: Un and limited. 'Un' is another word for not. Unlimited means not limited. Unpleasant means not pleasant, etc. The word, 'Un' could also mean the opposite. Unlimited means the opposite of being limited. To understand unlimited, we need to understand 'limited.' To be limited in the language of the market woman is to say, "thus far you can go and no further." That means you are limited. If somebody is lame we will tell the fellow, 'you can crawl but you can't stand. You can't run or jump.'

The God we are talking about is the one who is not limited, who cannot be hindered, who cannot be stopped from doing whatever he wants to do. He is not limited by opposition. Isaiah 43:13. He is unlimited by circumstances. It doesn't matter what the situation may be, he is unlimited. Genesis 18:9-14.

°Tell the fellow next to you, 'my own will not be difficult for God.'

He is not limited by time because he controls times and seasons. Daniel 2:20-22. So there is nothing called too late with God. John 11:1-44.

- In the name that is above every other name, everything that the enemy has considered too late for you, will be done today.

Now because He made heaven and earth, He is not limited by resources. Psalm 24:1; Haggai 2:8; Psalm 50:10-12. He is unlimited by resources. He is unlimited by age - He doesn't grow old. Daniel 7:9-10. Yet according to Exodus 3:14: He still calls himself, 'I am.'

So because He is not limited in age, He is not limited by strength. Isaiah 40:28-31 tells us that He is never tired. It says even if you are a young man and you wake up in the morning feeling fresh and strong, you will go weary - that's why you sleep at night. Because God is unlimited, whatever you need he can supply. Bible scholars, those who know the Bible very well, (I am just a beginner when it comes to Bible) Professors who know Hebrew, Greek, they know everything. They tell us that when God said in John 14:14, "If you ask anything in my name I will do it," he is actually saying if you ask for something that I forgot to create, I will create it for you. But if all of a sudden that you think of something that I never created, I will give it to you.

Somebody challenged the Professors once when they said that one, I said okay. Suppose I ask God for a cow with 4 heads, will God create it for me? The Professor said, "What do you want to do with heads? Why don't you just ask for 4 cows? But if you really are that stupid, you're so interested in the head of cows and you ask Him for a cow with 4 heads, He will create it." John 6:5-13.

°I have good news for someone: God already knows how he is going to solve your problems.

He took 5 loaves of bread and 2 small fishes and used it to feed 5,000 people and there were 12 baskets left over. Somebody said, where is the bread coming from? From Himself. Himself is the bread of life. So He just kept on creating more bread as He was breaking the bread.

- In the name of the one who called me, before the end of this month, you will have more than sufficient!
