Loyalty and Disloyalty: Why Loyalty? Part 1

Proverbs 28:20 (KJV) “ A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” 

 

In this service Reverend Lindsay introduces a new series on Loyalty and Disloyalty and preaches today on “Why Loyalty?”. Loyalty means to be faithful, consistent, reliable, and dependable. Faithfulness or loyalty is one of the greatest characteristics you can have. A faithful person who can find as it says Proverbs 20:6. So why loyalty first of all God himself is extremely faithful, He cannot deny himself. A lot of things you lose is because you change , insteading of staying the course. Loyalty is the principle qualification for every servant. Need loyalty to fight the fifth column. Fifth column is when those destroy from inside. For the love of God  to fill  the church.

 

Let us all be found to faithful stewards of all God has given us.

Intercession for the Church

Ezekiel 22:30 (KJV)  “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.”

 

In this service Reverend Lindsay preaches a powerful message about the Importance of Being a Soul winner through serving God and interceding for the church. It is important to pray and intercede for the souls. Putting a hedge of prayer around people helps prevent the evils that await us. Christianity was not meant to be a selfish religion, if your christianity has not affected others you have not become truly blessed.

 

Let our church be not a club of certain type of people but be a Mount Zion a general assembly of believers in Christ Jesus. 

Seven Reasons Why Women Make a Church Grow

In Luke 8:1-3 (KJV) “And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, 3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

 

In this special Mother’s Day Service Reverend Lindsay preaches anointed message “Seven Reasons Why Women make a Church Grow''. Women are a special asset for the world and for the kingdom of God. Our savior Jesus Christ came through a woman, Jesus appeared to women first when he rose from the dead, even sin entered the world through a woman. How important and special women are to God. Women helped Jesus ministry we  see through Mary Magdalene, Susanna and Joanna in Luke 8:1-3. Women were first to preach of the risen Christ. Apostle Paul used women in his ministry as we see in Philippians 4:3. Women are destined to destroy the devil as prophesied in Genesis 3:15. What a blessing Godly women are.

 

Let us the women of the church rise up for the calling of the Lord and let us see the kingdom of God flourish.

God sent not His Son to condemn the World

John 3:17 (KJV) “17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

 

In this service Reverend Lindsay preaches a powerful message “God sent Not His son to condemn the world”. Oftentimes humanity may feel insecure because of our sin, however there is hope in Christ Jesus that came to save us all. Jesus is the solution for our sin. Use the love of God to enter into a better version of yourself. God is a righteous judge so had to exchange the blood of Christ for our sin. Come as you are to the God’s throne but don’t stay as you are, allow our savior Jesus to transform us. The Spirit of condemnation is not of God, the Holy Spirit offers conviction to know something is wrong but have hope in forgiveness.

 

The sin in you is not greater than the SON in you.

Reasons Why every Believer Must Speak in Tongues

Mark 16:16-17 (KJV) “16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;”

 

Reverend Lindsay preaches in this Sunday message “Reasons why every Believer must speak in tongues”. Speaking in tongues is a promise to every believer. You are able to pray according to God’s will. The Bible says to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), speaking in tongues allows you to pray for a long time. It builds you up to be a strong and powerful Christian. Speaking in tongues is speaking to God directly in language only He understands. We need to engage the Holy Spirit and have an intimate relationship with him to access the power of the tongues.

 

Let us all exercise our faith by speaking in tongues and develop a closer relationship with sweet Holy Spirit. 

Intimacy with the Holy Spirit

2 Corinthians 13:14(KJV) “14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.”

 

In this Sunday service Reverend Lindsay preaches about the importance of the Holy Spirit and how to develop yourself by speaking in tongues. Grace is from Jesus, love is from God and the communion is with the Holy spirit.It is important that we have intimacy with the Holy Spirit, The Holy Spirit is as real as we make him, he will not force a relationship with us. Your christianity must live through the power of the Holy Spirit. So let us not take the Holy Spirit for granted and access true life through communion with him.

 

Let us partner with the Holy Spirit in a deep connection that He is part of all our social interactions.

The Blessing of Flow Prayer

In Matthew 21:12-13 (KJV), “12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.”

 

In this message Reverend Lindsay preaches a powerful message about the importance of prayer and flow prayer.. Our house is filled with prayer. Prayer draws us nearer to our Father God. Lord teach us to pray, should be our mentality. By God’s grace Flow prayer by our Bishop Dag Heward-Mills is a beautiful avenue to be in prayer and taught to pray. Having pastors and brethren to help you wake up is a blessing. Daybreak should not see you in bed, arise and seek the Lord! The devil roams the earth seeking whom he may destroy but when you have the cloak of prayer the devil won’t easily find you. Pray brings power so don't walk around powerless when you have the power of God in your midst.

 

Let us learn morning by morning to come to our God in prayer!

If you Love the Lord you expect His Blessings

In Deuteronomy 30:16 (KJV), the Bible says “16 In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.”

 

It is Resurrection Sunday, Reverend Lindsay preaches the message “If you Love the Lord you understand His Blessings”. As Christians we must show the world that we are here to be blessed. We show that by keeping God’s commandments. If you will love the Lord, the blessings will follow. First if you love the Lord you will experience His presence and manifestations. Secondly if you love the Lord all things will work out for your good. If you love the Lord, He will keep His covenants towards you. His promises work for lovers of God! God will be with you in trouble and will defend in crisis if we love Him. 

 

Let us truly love our God and experience all He has for us to the fullest.

If you Love God you will Obey Him

John 14:21 (AMPC),  “The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him. [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.]”

 

In the Hosanna or Palm Sunday Reverend Lindsay preaches the powerful word “ If you Love God you will obey Him”. God tells us how he would like to be loved. Sign that you love God when you follow him and obey him wholeheartedly. This is how to obey God. First you will keep the word of God in your heart. Keep the word meditate on it read, listen to it consistently. The second way is that you will keep God’s commandments. Feed God’s flock, you will be one that invites people to church and shows love of God. When God tells you how to love Him, believe Him and do it! Love is felt!

 

Obedience is your main guarantee of God’s presence, so let us love our God truly by doing what He commands.

If You Love God You will Love the Brethren

In 1 John 4:7 (KJV) the Bible says “ 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.”

 

Reverend Lindsay preaches this Sunday a continuation message “If you Love God you will love the brethren”. Love is not defined by what you think but what the person receiving the love thinks. God will make you blessed if you become a true God lover. One of God’s love languages is loving the brethren. What does that mean? First you must love your brother and sister. A sign that you love God is you love others. That you are able to sacrifice for others also shows your love for God. The second sign is that you lay down your life for others. You must also have compassion for the brethren.

 

Let us live out our love for God daily by loving those around us truly.
