If you Love the Lord, You are Doing the Most Important Thing

In Matthew 22:37 (KJV) the Bible says “37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.”

 

In this message Reverend Lindsay preaches a powerful message “If you Love the Lord, You are Doing the Most Important Thing”. God is the definition of love and we must respond to His great love for us by loving Him. A church must love God and love people. People may not read the scriptures but they can read love. Our motive for all aspects of our life should be loving God. If we love God, He will truly be real to us. Christians are not supposed to live a regular life, we are to live a supernatural life loving God and follow His ways. 

 

Loving God is our most important duty, let us daily be lovers of God with our whole being.

The Importance of Working for God!

2 Corinthians 9:8 (KJV) “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:”

 

In this message Reverend Lindsay preaches “ The Importance of Work”. Why is it important to work? Work is better than rest. It is a blessing to be able to work. There are two types of work, working for God and working for yourself. God created us to work with Him, man was never meant to work for anyone but God. FInd something to do in God's garden. Be mindful and look for opportunities to work for our Lord.

 

Let us join God’s workforce and get the blessing that is beyond working just for ourselves.

How Prayer Makes You Have Greater Works

Isaiah 54: 1(NKJV) ““Sing, O barren, You who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, You who have not labored with child! For more are the children of the desolate Than the children of the married woman,” says the Lord.” 

 

In this message Reverend Lindsay preaches”How Prayer Makes You have Greater Works“ Fruitfulness is a reflection of intimacy with God. Real christians see God in their room. Your maker needs to become your husband. Just like children are made in an intimate private moment, the time with God is you alone spending time. Only then can fruits be borne, through intimacy with our Maker! Let us move christianity from just being in church and take it to your bedroom for a true relationship! Let God be the first person you speak to, the first words you read from His word, let us seek Him first. As Daniel 11:32b (NKJV) says “ but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits”

 

Do you know God, are you intimate with God? Let us all grow in intimacy with our God!

Attempt Great Things For God!

Isaiah 54:1(MSG) “ Sing, barren woman, who has never had a baby. Fill the air with song, you who’ve never experienced childbirth! You’re ending up with far more children than all those childbearing women.” God says so!"

 

Reverend Lindsay preaches the message “Attempt Great Things for God”. What did not work last year, will work this year in Jesus' name. First point we learn from Isaiah 54 is clear lots of ground. Then continue to make room in your tents for what God is going to do! Often what you think about yourself is who you are. Instead of thinking about yourself, start thinking about God. Think big, your God is big! Usually your expectations drive your attempts. So attempt great things and expect great results.

 

Let us attempt great things for God this year and be ready for the overflow because our God is great and mighty!

Sacrifice is the Key to Fruitfulness

John 12:24 (KJV)  “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”

 

Reverend Lindsay preaches a message entitled “Sacrifice is the key to Fruitfulness”. What is the process of true fruitfulness? It takes sacrifice going deeper, dying, losing, planting and of going under to bear fruit. Going beyond your desires and doing what God desires. Dying of self and living in Christ. Don’t just eat the fruit of your life but also sow and save a portion of yourself  to go deeper.You will never be able to see what you missed until you go down. How do you go down; by glorifying God. God never intended for us to live as a seed and die as seed, your life is supposed to be like God. Being fruitful and living for God.

 

Let us live the life God intends for us a life of sacrifice and fruitfulness. 

The Greatest Miracle of Thanksgiving

John 6:11 (KJV) “And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.”

 

In this message Reverend Lindsay preaches a powerful  message entitled “The Greatest Miracle of Thanksgiving”. How to be thankful and walk a miraculous life is first to relax and sit down. We should follow the example of Jesus as he fed the five thousand. Tell God what you need and then go ahead and thank Him for what He has already done and what he is to do. You must also appreciate the little things around, they are the source of your miracles.If you appreciate what you have it appreciates.We must not murmur and complain that stops the flow of our blessings, thanksgiving opens that flow up. Verbalize your appreciation is the next key point.

 

Let us follow Jesus' example and live a thankful life!

Losing, Suffering, Sacrificing and Dying: ”Enemies of Sacrifice” (Part 3)

Matthew 16:24 (KJV) “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”

 

In this message Reverend Lindsay continues the Losing, Sacrificing, Suffering and Dying message series with a message entitled Enemies of Sacrifice. The enemies of sacrifice include the antichrist, the spirit Judas, and the devil himself. We need to fight the enemies of sacrifice that try to destroy your peace, prosperity, and power in Christ. The spirit of telling you things you do for the Lord are waste is the spirit of Judas. What is the Lord asking you to sacrifice that your logical mind by the satanic spirit is telling you not too? Any gift you give God becomes better.

 

Let us not let the enemies of sacrifice remove power and blessing we have in Christ our Lord.

Losing, Suffering, Sacrificing, and Dying: ”Power of Sacrifice” (Part 2)

In Philippians 3:8 (NIV) the Bible says, ”What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ”

 

The message series  Losing, Sacrificing, Suffering and Dying  continues with Reverend Lindsay preaching about the “Power of Sacrifice”. Sacrifice is power. We as Christians often have taken for granted the power of God. How that power dwells in us.When we speak Heaven should hear, when we speak satan should fear, when we speak evil should clear. That type of power is what we carry in Jesus' name. There are three powerful effects of sacrifice.Sacrifice causes people to follow, it causes people to be convinced about you,and lastly causes people to be  committed to you.

 

Let us walk in the glorious power of God through our sacrifices for Him and His Kingdom's sake!

Losing Suffering Sacrificing and Dying: Part 1

In Galatians 2:20 (KJV) the Bible says, “I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

 

In this message Reverend Lindsay preaches a much needed message entitled “Losing,Suffering, Sacrificing, and Dying”. We have  these four spiritual appointments as believers in Christ. These appointments are necessary to understand the fullness of God’s power. You have to lose something to get the fullness of God. The sacrifices you make for God, produces endurance. We are to as James 1:2 says “count it all joy” when we go through diverse trials, in this we build up our strength. We must die to our flesh daily and as Galatians 2:20 says we should no longer be a forefront but Christ is what lives in us.

 

Let us listen to anointed word and lose, suffer, sacrifice and die of some things for God’s sake!

Honoring the Anointed

In Isaiah 43:4 (KJV) “Since thou wast precious in My sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men for thee and people for thy life.”

 

In this special Honor Your Prophet Sunday, Reverend Lindsay preaches a powerful message entitled “Honoring the Anointed”. Anything you appreciate, appreciates. When you truly value something then only can it be of benefit. It is important to honor those God has placed in your life including pastors and our Bishop Dag Heward-Mills. Contentment is not desiring what you don’t have, but appreciating what you do. Since God has given us the gift of this ministry and our leader we must appreciate it. Where the anointing is not honored it does not work. Honoring is an obligation and legal requirement.

 

As we honor and appreciate those God has placed in our lives there is a special blessing that awaits us.
