Do I need to be Silent In the face of adversity?

Do I Need To Be Silent in the Face of Adversity? Texts: Matthew 11:12, 2 Corinthians 4:13, Exodus 14:13–15, Psalm 18:37 INTRODUCTION Adversity is a universal experience. Every believer will face moments where pressure tries to silence their faith, intimidate their identity, and shrink their confidence. The devil’s strategy is simple: silence their voice, paralyze their actions, and weaken their persistence. But Scripture never teaches believers to bow in adversity. Instead, it calls them to speak, to stand, to move, and to fight spiritual battles with holy aggression. This message examines why silence is dangerous and how spiritual violence becomes the believer’s posture for victory. OUTLINE 1: Silence in Adversity Is Dangerous Adversity always carries a message. It speaks fear, defeat, delay, confusion, and discouragement. If a believer stays silent in that moment, their silence becomes agreement. David understood this. When surrounded by threats, he didn’t thin...

Building Character before Platform

Building Character Before Platform Text: 1 Samuel 16:6–13; Luke 16:10 “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.” — Luke 16:10 Introduction  Everyone wants to be seen, heard, and celebrated, but God wants us to be formed before being famous . Many desire the platform — the pulpit, the stage, the position — but few embrace the process that shapes their character. God’s pattern has never changed: preparation before promotion . You don’t build a skyscraper on weak soil; likewise, God won’t build greatness on a weak character. 1. What is Character? Character is the sum total of your moral strength and inner values . It’s who you are when no one is watching. Reputation is what people think about you, Character is what God knows about you. 👉 Examples: Joseph maintained integrity in Potiphar’s house. Daniel kept purity in Babylon. David stayed humble in the wilderness. 2. The Platform exposes Character  The...

The Gate of Hell

The Gate of Hell Text: Matthew 16:18 – “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Introduction In the realm of the spirit, gates represent authority, control, and decision-making centers . They are not just physical entrances but spiritual points where power, influence, and destiny are determined. When Jesus said, “the gates of hell shall not prevail,” He declared total victory for His Church over the strategies, councils, and powers of darkness. The “gate of hell” symbolizes every organized system of evil — satanic plans, demonic conspiracies, and wicked decrees meant to oppose God’s people. Teaching Outline 1️⃣ Understanding the Meaning of the Gate of Hell Isaiah 14:31 – “Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved…” What gates represent in Scripture: Authority: Kings and elders sat at the gate (Ruth 4:1; Proverbs 31:23).

The Book of Life

The Book of Life 🔹 Text: Revelation 20:12, 15 — “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God... and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life... and whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” Introduction The “Book of Life” is not a metaphor — it’s a divine record in heaven that contains the names of those who belong to God. It determines eternal destiny — whether one will reign with Christ or face separation from God forever. It reveals how heaven keeps records , not only of names but also of works, choices, and covenant alignment. 🔹 1. The Origin and Meaning of the Book of Life 📖 Exodus 32:32–33; Philippians 4:3 The concept began as a heavenly register of God’s covenant people. It represents divine ownership — those who have accepted God’s salvation and walk in His covenant. It shows that salvation is not random — it’s recorded and sealed in heaven. 🕊️ Moses understood this when he ...

The Sound of the Trumpet 📖 Text: Joel 2:1 – “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain…” 1. Introduction Throughout Scripture, the trumpet is a prophetic instrument used to announce, warn, gather, and release divine order.

Time Utility

Time Utility Text: Ephesians 5:15–16 – “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Introduction Time is one of the most precious gifts God has given man. Every human being, rich or poor, has 24 hours in a day. What we become in life is a reflection of how we utilize that time. Time utility means maximizing time for godly purposes, personal growth, and eternal relevance. 1. The Nature of Time Time is God’s creation (Genesis 1:14). Time is seasonal (Ecclesiastes 3:1 – to everything there is a season). Time is short (James 4:14 – life is like a vapor). Time is irreversible – once wasted, it cannot be regained. 2. The Mandate to Redeem Time Paul instructs believers to redeem the time because the days are evil (Ephesians 5:16). Redeeming time means: Making wise use of opportunities. Living purposefully, not carelessly. Cutting off distractions and time-wasters. Using every season...
