Breaking Limitations:  Power for Destiny  Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Church: Overcomers Nation Church Service: Mandate Miracle Encounter Reference Video: Mandate Miracle Encounter – Overcomers Nation Church Episode & Message Overview In this power-packed prophetic encounter, Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa addresses the hidden spiritual battles that cause delays, identity limitations, and repeated cycles of frustration. Expanding on the life and wrestling of Jacob in Genesis 32, this message reveals why natural talent and good intentions alone cannot fulfill destiny without spiritual empowerment. The service dives into the necessity of spiritual power to dismantle patterns of obscurity, fight for the future of our biological and spiritual seeds, and prevail over inherited limitations to step into a new, victorious identity. Foundational Scriptures Genesis 32:24–28 – Jacob wrestling alone with the angel through the night until daybreak; his hip socket dislocated, his stubborn persistence ("I will not let you go unless you bless me"), and the transformation of his name and identity from Jacob (supplanter/usurper) to Israel (one who has power with God and men and has prevailed). 1 Corinthians 14:2 – Praying in the Holy Ghost; speaking mysteries (hidden divine plans and wisdom) in the spirit that bypass natural human limitations. Psalm 37:23 & Proverbs 13:22 – The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; understanding the biblical concept of a "good man" as a spiritual warrior and protector who secures an enduring inheritance. 1 Kings 18 & 19 – The days of Jezebel, where 7,000 prophets hid in caves because of lack of power, while Elijah possessed the spiritual authority to confront wickedness, call down fire, and prevail openly. 1 Timothy 6:12 & Ephesians 6:10–12 – Fighting the good fight of faith against spiritual resistance in heavenly realms. Key Spiritual Pillars & Core Teachings 1. The Seed of Greatness & The Mystery of Tongues The Forest Within the Seed: Just as an acorn looks small, plain, and unassuming yet holds an entire forest within it, God places immense glory inside individuals that the natural eye cannot see. Praying Mysteries: Speaking in tongues releases the divine blueprint stored inside you. It activates the hidden capacity God has deposited within your spirit, calling out the king, warrior, or leader hidden from the world. Hidden in the Wilderness: David was left in the wilderness tending sheep while his brothers were sent to military school. Society often looks down on those whom God is secretly preserving for a divine assignment. 2. The Biblical "Good Man" is a Warrior In scriptural history, a "good man" of the house was not merely someone with passive, nice morals—he was the proven fighter and defender of the household and city gates. Bad things often happen to passive believers because spiritual warfare requires aggressive spiritual tactics. If you do not know how to fight the good fight of faith, the enemy will take what belongs to you. 3. The Necessity of Spiritual Power Power is Non-Negotiable: Prophets were slaughtered or forced into hiding in caves during the reign of Jezebel because they lacked the power to confront the prevailing darkness. Only Elijah walked freely in authority because he carried spiritual power. Spiritual Resistance: Recurring financial crises, emotional turbulence, marital delays, and generational stumbling blocks are rarely just physical issues; they are spiritual battles that demand authority to break. The Danger of Missing Your Season: You cannot afford to play with destiny. In many areas of life—marriage, career, calling—opportunities require timely readiness. Power ensures you do not miss your window of divine visitation. 4. The Jacob Pattern: Wrestling into Rest No Wrestling, No Rest: If you never learn to travail and wrestle in prayer, you will never experience true, lasting peace. Highe

Who is a True Disciple? (Walking in Dominion) Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Church: Overcomers Nation Church Series Theme: Month of Intentional Discipleship / Year of Dominion Reference Video: Sunday Celebration Service – Overcomers Nation Church Episode & Message Overview In this service, Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa shifts the focus from casual church attendance to authentic Christian discipleship. Drawing from the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19, the message addresses the critical difference between being a mere churchgoer/convert and evolving into a mature, disciplined follower of Jesus Christ. Before diving into the core characteristics of a disciple, the sermon also explores the supernatural power of praise, revealing five distinct spiritual doors that open when believers praise God with intentional gladness. Part 1: The Weapon of Praise & The 5 Open Doors Praise is not mere emotional excitement or physical exercise; it functions as a supernatural key (the "Key of David") that breaks open realms in the spirit: The Door of God’s Manifest Presence (Psalm 100:1–4) While God is omnipresent, His active, manifest presence is unlocked through glad thanksgiving and court-entering praise. The Door of Prison Deliverance (Acts 16:25–26) Just as Paul and Silas prayed and sang hymns aloud at midnight until foundations shook and prison doors flew open, bold praise shatters limitations and systemic chains. The Door of Supernatural Supply (John 6:5–13) Multiplication responds directly to thanksgiving. Jesus gave thanks over five loaves and two fish before the miracle of divine surplus unfolded. The Door of Multiplication & Honor (Jeremiah 30:19) Out of the thankful and joyful comes multiplication and elevation; God increases and glorifies those who refuse to stay silent in gratitude. The Door of Life over the Grave (Isaiah 38:18–20) King Hezekiah understood that the dead cannot celebrate God—only the living praise Him. Praise invokes divine preservation and reverses death sentences. Part 2: The Discipleship Growth Pathway A church is not designed to gather passive spectators; it exists to construct a clear discipleship pipeline: [ Seeker ]     │    ▼[ Convert / Spiritual Baby ]     │    ▼[ Committed Disciple ]     │    ▼[ Leader & Multiplier ] The Mandate (Matthew 28:19): Jesus never commanded believers to merely make church attendees, but to make disciples of all nations. Moving Beyond Infancy: A new convert enters the Kingdom as a spiritual baby, but remaining in spiritual infancy indefinitely stunts purpose and forfeits kingdom authority. Part 3: The 10 Marks of a True Disciple 1. Genuinely Receives and Submits to Jesus as Lord Scripture: Luke 9:23; Romans 10:9; John 1:12 Discipleship begins with authentic regeneration—the washing of rebirth—not social church membership or family tradition. Jesus must be both Savior and functional Master. 2. Continues and Abides in the Word of God Scripture: John 8:31; Joshua 1:8 A true disciple does not live by human opinions, social media trends, or personal feelings. They remain anchored in the Word so deeply that scripture dictates their worldview, speech, and decisions. 3. Denies Self and Submits to Christ’s Lordship Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Following Christ carries a real cost. Maturity requires sacrificing personal comfort, convenience, and worldly status for Kingdom priorities. 4. Walks in Active, Prompt Obedience Mere theological information does not prove discipleship. Genuine spiritual depth is demonstrated when biblical instructions are quickly and consistently put into practice. 5. Demonstrates Unconditional Love for Believers Scripture: John 13:34–35 Authentic Kingdom love is patient, forgiving, and free from offense. Jesus declared that love among believers is the badge by which the world identifies His true disciples. 6. Bears Visible, Lasting Spiritual Fruit Scripture

The Pathway to Greatness Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Ministry: Overcomers Nation / EOM Episode Summary What does it truly take to walk in biblical greatness? In this foundational message, Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa breaks down the critical distinction between worldly ambition and Kingdom significance. Greatness is neither an accident nor the sole byproduct of prayer and prophetic declarations. Discover the six timeless spiritual and practical pillars required to build capacity, lead with excellence, and unlock true Kingdom promotion. Foundational Scriptures Joshua 1:8 – Meditating on the Word and observing to do what is written so that you make your own way prosperous and achieve good success. Mark 10:43–45 – Kingdom greatness redefined: whoever desires to be great must be a servant of all, following the pattern of Christ. Proverbs 4:7–8 – Wisdom as the principal thing; exalting wisdom guarantees elevation and honor. 2 Peter 1:5–7 – The mandate to add virtue, knowledge, self-control, and perseverance to faith. Jeremiah 1:5 & Ephesians 2:10 – Walking in divine ordination, pre-destined assignments, and prepared good works. Proverbs 12:24 & Proverbs 22:29 – Diligence leading to rulership and standing before kings. 1 Samuel 2:30 & Proverbs 3:9 – The spiritual dynamics of honor and honoring God with substance. Key Takeaways & Core Concepts 1. Greatness Is Governed by Law, Not Luck Beyond the "Charismatic Trap": Prayer, fasting, and prophetic declarations are vital spiritual exercises, but they can never compensate for violated principles. The Joshua Formula: Promotion is released when internal meditation transforms into external execution: “...observe to DO according to all that is written... for then YOU will make your way prosperous.” 2. Kingdom Impact vs. Worldly Ambition The world defines greatness through titles, domination, and accumulating personal recognition. In the Kingdom of God, greatness is measured exclusively by impact, stewardship, and ministering real value to others. The 6 Pillars of the Pathway Pillar 1: Discover and Pursue God’s Specific Assignment True greatness begins when you stop imitating others and lean into who God designed you to be. Divine assignments are tied to solving problems—just as Joseph solved global famine, David confronted existential military threat, and Esther preserved a generation. Start by taking initiative on the small, unnoticed problems around you with gladness. Pillar 2: Value Wisdom and Continually Build Capacity Wisdom is the practical application of knowledge, and it is wisdom itself that brings promotion. The Capacity Warning: “If your capacity remains small, your opportunities will expose you.” Learning must be lifelong. Sharpen your skills in communication, leadership, professional competence, and relational intelligence. Pillar 3: Embrace Diligence, Discipline, and Consistency Inconsistency destroys spiritual and natural trust; erratic execution will stall any destiny. Habitual Architecture: “What you do occasionally may inspire people, but what you do consistently builds your future.” Maintain the Joseph standard of excellence: delivering uncompromised quality whether in Potiphar’s house, inside the prison, or in Pharaoh's palace. Pillar 4: Walk in Faith and Bold Courage Pessimism and fear of loss, failure, or criticism stifle progress. Breakthrough demands stepping out with bold initiative, taking calculated risks, and facing the "Goliaths" standing between you and your promise. Pillar 5: Cultivate a Culture of Sacrificial Service Authentic elevation requires the humility to minister to others without demanding recognition or standing on protocol. True servants never disdain behind-the-scenes or manual responsibilities; genuine service protects the heart from destructive pride. Pillar 6: Understand and Practice the Law of Honor A Transference Mechanism: Graces, mantles, a

Understanding Faith brings Dominion

ACTIVATING THE POWER FOR A CHANGE OF STORY Minister: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Message Summary Every believer is a candidate for a continuous change of story, moving from glory to glory (Proverbs 4:18). However, spiritual transformation and breakthroughs do not occur automatically; they require building and activating inner spiritual strength through praying in the Holy Ghost. When a believer is joined to the Lord, they become one spirit with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17). This union is meant to produce vitality, health, and dominance. Yet, many remain weak—evidenced by frequent sicknesses, uncontrolled emotions, depression, demonic harassment in dreams, and persistent financial leakage because their spirit lacks the capacity to enforce divine reality over their physical body and circumstances. By cultivating divine sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, speaking inspired words, and acting on divine directions and prophetic tokens (such as anointing oil, targeted declarations, and specific prophetic acts), believers build spiritual stamina, silence demonic operations, and activate the power that enforces an undeniable change of story. Scriptural Anchors 1 Corinthians 6:15–17: "He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit." Proverbs 4:18: "The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." Proverbs 18:14: "The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?" Proverbs 25:28: "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls." Luke 10:19: "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy..." Isaiah 30:21: "And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it..." 1 Kings 17:10–16: Elijah and the widow of Zarephath. 2 Chronicles 20:20–22: Jehoshaphat’s battle and prophetic victory. Detailed Sermon Notes 1. The Necessity of Spiritual Strength The Power of Tongues: Praying in tongues directly charges, edifies, and builds the spirit man, transforming spiritual potential into active power. Capacity Over Circumstances: A believer has full potential in Christ, but without exercising their spirit, they remain vulnerable to the pressures and attacks of life. Proverbs 18:14 Principle: A strong human spirit will sustain, repel, and overcome bodily infirmity and external attacks. When the spirit is weak, the body and circumstances easily succumb. 2. Identifying Spiritual Weakness Frequent Sickness and Infirmity: While medical issues exist, recurring physical breakdowns often indicate that the spirit lacks the strength to transmit divine health into the physical body. Demonic Attacks in Dreams: Being oppressed, chased, fed, or spiritually assaulted in dreams (and waking up drained or defiled) is a sign of low spiritual immunity. Emotional Fragility and Mood Swings: Easily falling into depression, weeping without cause, and quick-tempered anger show an unguarded spirit (Proverbs 25:28). Unexplained Financial Leakage: Money has a spiritual dimension; spiritual weakness allows demonic forces to siphon resources through recurring, unexplainable losses. 3. Spiritual Oneness and Transfiguration One Spirit with Christ (1 Corinthians 6:17): Deep intimacy and communion with God produce oneness in nature and power. Physical Impact of the Anointing: Intimacy with God affects the physical countenance and body (as seen on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus, and Moses on Mount Sinai). The presence of God revitalizes the believer's body. Walking in Authority (Luke 10:19): Being seated far above principalities means demonic entities, witchcraft, and bad omens have no legal right to dictate the believer's life or peace. 4. Divine Directions, Signs, and Tokens Physical Media for Spiritual Power: God often uses tangible instructions or tokens (anointing oil, communion, symbolic acts) to chan

BUILDING THE CHURCH THROUGH TRAVAILING PRAYER Minister: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Message Summary The growth, victory, and establishment of the Church are anchored upon the foundational ministry of prayer. Drawing from Matthew 16:18, Jesus declared, "I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." While the promise of victory is guaranteed, the practical execution of building the church and repelling the gates of hell requires believers to engage in knowledgeable, fervent prayer. Prayer without revelation is mere noise, but prayer rooted in the Word operates as a divine spiritual law. Because God gave dominion of the earth realm to man (Genesis 1:26), spiritual activity and divine intervention require human cooperation through prayer. Believers are mandated not to faint, but to enter into the deeper dimensions of intercession—moving past surface-level petitions into spiritual labor, travail, and birthing (Galatians 4:19; Colossians 4:12). Through this kind of prayer, spiritual resistance is broken, the harvest of souls is reaped, and the Church advances with undeniable power. Sermon Notes Main Scriptures: Matthew 16:18; Psalm 138:2; John 1:1; Luke 18:1; Luke 10:19; Galatians 4:19; Colossians 4:12 1. The Church as Christ’s Personal Project The Master Builder: Jesus specifically said, "I will build My church." The Church is His personal possession, and working to advance it makes the believer a co-laborer with Christ. Persistent Resistance: The "gates of hell" actively attempt to resist the expansion of the Church, but they are stripped of the power to prevail when the Church takes its place in prayer. Beyond Social Entertainment: Modern Christianity frequently waters down its spiritual heritage with entertainment. The true power and impact of the Church return when it prioritizes prayer and the ministry of the Word. 2. The Legal Necessity of Prayer Prayer Based on Knowledge: Prayer without spiritual understanding produces noise without impact. True prayer is the application of spiritual laws. God’s Earthly Operating System: In Genesis 1:26, God assigned dominion over the earth to man. Consequently, God works through human vessels to execute His divine will on earth. John Wesley’s Principle: "God does nothing but in answer to prayer." Prayer gives heaven legal permission to intervene in terrestrial affairs. The Primacy of the Word: In Psalm 138:2, God has magnified His Word above all His Name. Effective prayer enforces what God has already decreed in His Word. 3. The Dominion of the Believer Over Darkness Demonic Trespassing: Demonic spirits seek human bodies or circumstances to express their works of darkness. Without legal right, their presence is illegal. Luke 10:19 Authority: Believers have been given authority to tread on serpents, scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, with the covenant guarantee that nothing shall by any means hurt them. Overcoming False Fears: Believers must not live in intimidation of witchcraft or occultism. When light shines and spiritual authority is exercised, darkness must bow. 4. Entering the Realm of Labor and Travail in Prayer Prayer Beyond Words: There is a dimension of intercession that transcends ordinary articulation—entering into spiritual groaning and birthing. Birthing Christ in Men (Galatians 4:19): Paul spoke of travailing in birth again until Christ was formed in the believers. Discipleship, spiritual growth, and maturity require spiritual labor. The Ministry of Epaphras (Colossians 4:12): Epaphras, an ordinary church member, was commended for laboring fervently in prayers that the church might stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. The Historical Pattern: Great moves of God, such as the revivals under Charles Finney and Father Nash, were birthed not on public platforms, but through hidden, agonized prayer meetings. Key Declarations & Prayer Points Declaration: "The Church of

THE PURPOSE OF  POWER Minister: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Message Transcript Summary The Christian walk is not merely an intellectual pursuit, a moral lecture, or an exercise in social etiquette; it is founded on the tangible power of God (1 Corinthians 4:20; Acts 1:8). Power is an essential pillar of the Kingdom of God, given through the Holy Spirit to enable believers to achieve divine assignments beyond natural and physical limitations. God does not grant power to impress people, build personal pride, or gain worldly fame. When the true purpose of power is misunderstood, abuse is inevitable. Power serves redemptive purposes: to reveal and validate the resurrected Christ, to confront and destroy the works of darkness, to confirm and establish the preaching of the Gospel with accompanying signs, to build and expand the church, and to empower believers to become transformational agents of Kingdom influence across every sector of society. Scriptural Anchors Acts 1:8: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me..." Luke 10:19: "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy..." Acts 10:38: "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil..." Zechariah 4:6: "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." Mark 16:15–20: "And these signs shall follow them that believe... confirming the word with signs following." John 14:12: "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do..." Detailed Sermon Notes 1. The Nature of Supernatural Power Beyond Natural and Intellectual Might: Zechariah 4:6 distinguishes between natural strength (military, physical, intellectual, or political might) and the supernatural power that originates from the Holy Spirit. A Divine Endowment: In Acts 1:8, Jesus promised that power (Dunamis) is received when the Holy Spirit comes upon the believer, empowering ordinary individuals for extraordinary Kingdom tasks. Essential for Proof: Christianity requires demonstration. Without the power of God at work, the message of the cross sounds like a mere philosophical story to a skeptical world. 2. The Danger of Misconceptions and Abuse Not for Showmanship: God does not release supernatural power to impress audiences, build celebrity status, or satisfy carnal ambition. Understanding Purpose: When the purpose of power is not understood, spiritual abuse, error, and deviation occur. Power must always be anchored to God's redemptive agenda. 3. The Five Core Purposes of Supernatural Power I. To Reveal Jesus Christ (Acts 3:1–16; Romans 8:29) Miracles point beyond the human vessel directly to the living, resurrected Christ. Just as Peter redirected the crowd's attention from himself to Jesus after the lame man was healed at the Beautiful Gate, power is meant to glorify the Son of God. II. To Destroy the Works of the Enemy (Acts 10:38; 1 John 3:8; Luke 10:19) Power is confrontational. Satan operates through organized demonic entities (powers, principalities, rulers of darkness). Spiritual power breaks demonic afflictions, cancels ancestral attacks, breaks yokes, and liberates captives from demonic oppression. III. To Confirm and Establish the Gospel (Mark 16:17–20) The Gospel is established in human hearts when accompanied by undeniable signs, wonders, and diverse miracles. Power turns abstract doctrine into living reality, causing unbelievers to acknowledge the truth of God's Word. IV. To Build and Expand the Church (Acts 2:41–47; Acts 4:29–33) In the early church, demonstrations of apostolic power produced awe, unity, conviction, and explosive daily church growth. A church void of power becomes a mere lecture hall; a church with power becomes a center

THE PATH OF THE JUST: CHANGING YOUR STORY Minister: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Executive Summary The Christian walk is designed for continual advancement, described in Scripture as moving from glory to glory and shining brighter unto the perfect day. A true "change of story" is not merely an escape from hardship; it is a progressive transition from good to better, and from better to greater dimensions of divine grace. As children of light, believers are not meant to struggle under darkness, witchcraft, or generational limitations. Although the enemy attempts to establish dates, cycles, and decrees for destruction, believers are equipped with covenant authority. Through fasting and prayer, spiritual decrees are enforced, demonic deadlines are overturned, and believers secure divine intervention to turn every potential tragedy into a testimony of preservation and victory. Scriptural Anchors Proverbs 4:18: "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." Luke 10:19: "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." Detailed Sermon Notes 1. The Nature and Reality of a "Change of Story" Universal Need: Every believer is a candidate for a continuous upgrade, whether transitioning out of adversity or ascending into higher realms of glory. No Spiritual Plateau: There is no ultimate ceiling in God. The Christian walk requires unending spiritual and practical progress. The Radiance of Righteousness: According to Proverbs 4:18, the believer's trajectory is like the morning sun, gaining strength and brilliance until full midday. Dominion of Light: Light does not negotiate with darkness. When believers walk consciously in their identity as light, confusion, fear, and oppression naturally dissipate. 2. Identifying and Overturning Satanic Traps Demonic Deadlines: The enemy often projects specific dates, seasonal patterns, and oppressive cycles aimed at aborting destinies, ministries, and marriages. The Hazard of Spiritual Sloth: Carelessness, passive living, and spiritual ignorance grant the enemy access to execute destructive agendas. Revoking Evil Decrees: Just as the fasting and prayers of Esther and Mordecai reversed Haman’s genocidal decree, focused spiritual diligence dismantles every satanic projection. 3. The Spiritual Mechanism of Fasting and Prayer Enforcing Covenant Reality: Fasting and prayer do not persuade God to act; they align the believer to enforce the finished work and established promises of Christ. Breaking Forecasted Crises: Dedicated, prolonged seasons of seeking God neutralise impending attacks and usher in divine upgrades, authority, and notable miracles. The Construction Principle: Fasting and prayer can feel strenuous and messy—much like excavating a site and pouring concrete—yet they lay the immovable foundation for a glorious life. 4. Absolute Dominion in Christ Comprehensive Authority: Luke 10:19 guarantees absolute dominion over serpents, scorpions, and all demonic operations, backed by the assurance that nothing shall by any means hurt the believer. Freedom from Intimidation: Occult shrines, ancestral altars, and demonic networks lose their relevance the moment a believer activates their God-given authority. Declarations & Prophetic Prayers Faith Declarations "My path is as the shining light that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. There is no darkness in my way!" "I walk in the fullness of Christ's authority over all the power of the enemy. Nothing shall by any means hurt me, my family, or my assignment." "My story is not on a decline; I move continuously from glory to glory and from victory to victory!" Targeted Prayer Points Overturning Satanic Decrees: Cancel every evil deadline, ancestral pattern, and demonic projection assigned against your health, marriage, business,

Sermon Title: The Faith of the Fathers Core Theme: Understanding, valuing, and walking in the biblical technology of faith by following the examples, characteristics, and unwavering faith of the patriarchs of old. Part I: Foundations of Faith & The Apostolic Gathering 1. Introduction & The Apostolic Context The Nature of an Apostolic Gathering: In an apostolic gathering, God delivers assigned or sent messages designed to bring transformation, position the church for an unusual manifestation of power, heal sicknesses, and deliver people from oppressions. The Danger of Distraction: Many believers miss out on their breakthroughs because of distractions (e.g., admiring outfits, side conversations, checking phones). Just as God put Adam into a deep sleep to form Eve without distraction, God requires deep attentiveness so believers do not miss the specific, life-altering words designed for them. Biblical Example: In Acts 3, Peter and John told the lame man, "Look on us." Attention is required to receive a miracle; distraction robs people of their blessings. 2. The Supremacy and Vital Importance of Faith Foundation of Christianity: There is no Christianity without faith. Salvation, experiences of God, pleasing God, and receiving inheritance are all accessed through faith. Guarding Against End-Time Obsolete Elements: Loss of Genuine Love for God: Revelation 2:4-5 warns against leaving one's first love. Matthew 24:12 notes that in the end times, iniquity will abound and the love of many will wax cold, causing people to love pleasure more than God. Loss of Faith: Luke 18:8 asks, "When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" Hebrews 10:23 commands believers to hold fast the profession of their faith without wavering and to assemble together to safeguard it. Contending for the Faith: Jude 1:3 urges believers to "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." Faith is a fight; believers must learn how to fight to maintain it (Hebrews 6:12). 3. The Faith of the Fathers (The Patriarchs) Definition of the Fathers: This refers to the biblical characters, apostles, and prophets from the Old and New Testaments (e.g., Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Elijah, Elisha, Apostle Paul, Jesus) who walked with God by faith. Hebrews 11 Overview (The Hall of Faith): Hebrews 11:1: Faith is "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:2: "For by it the elders obtained a good report." The patriarchs obtained divine testimonies and good report cards of life through faith, not human effort. Why We Must Follow Their Faith: It is the established pattern and lifestyle of the Kingdom (Habakkuk 2:4: "The just shall live by his faith"). It is a guarantee of receiving the promises (Hebrews 6:12). It protects believers from self-glorification and self-dependence. 4. Faith vs. Works & Self-Glory The Error of Self-Justification: Romans 4:2-4 explains that if Abraham was justified by works, he would have something to boast about, but not before God. Human effort, self-confidence, and fleshly works always fail before God. When people rely on their own wealth, degrees, or abilities, it leads to pride and abomination before God (e.g., the rich fool in Luke 12, King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel). The DNA of Faith: Faith completely negates self-glory. True faith is anchored entirely on the goodness and grace of God, meaning God gets all the glory when breakthroughs happen. The Inclusion of the Uncircumcised: Romans 4:9-12 clarifies that Abraham's righteousness was accounted to him while he was uncircumcised. Circumcision was merely a sign/seal. This proves that both Jews and Gentiles can access this justification and inherit the promises simply by believing, regardless of background. Part II: Characteristics and Evidence of the Faith of the Fathers 1. Key Characteristics of the Faith of the Fathers To walk eff

SERMON NOTES: STABILITY AND GROWTH: ROOTED TO RISESpeaker: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Text: Psalm 92:12–15"The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing." Central IdeaJuly marks a transition from "building the ecclesia" (June) into a season of Stability and Growth. Stability is not stagnation — it is the foundation God requires before productivity and lasting legacy can happen. POINT 1: Relationship with His Person vs. Relationship with His Principles Relationship with His Person (Jesus): brings salvation, sanctification, and peace. This is received by faith — justification. Relationship with His Principles: governs practical manifestation — prosperity, health, expansion. Even when an inheritance is legally yours, you must apply the principles to actually possess and enjoy it. Takeaway: Knowing Christ saves you; applying His principles positions you to walk in what He's already provided. POINT 2: From "Present" to "Planted" Drawn from Psalm 92:13 — "planted in the house of the LORD." Present Christian: attends when convenient, stays at a distance, receives without contributing, leaves quickly when offended. Planted Christian: four marks — Committed — belongs to the house Contributive — adds to the work of ministry Correctable — grows through correction, doesn't leave when offended Covenant-Connected — carries the assignment of the house Imagery from the text: Palm tree — resilience and beauty; bends in the storm but doesn't break. Cedar of Lebanon — depth of root, strength, stability over time. A planted believer isn't easily shaken by circumstances, offense, or shifting winds of doctrine. POINT 3: Foundations for Stability For personal growth and flourishing (v.14 — "they shall still bear fruit in old age... fresh and flourishing"): Consistency in prayer Consistency in studying the Word Consistency in fellowship Consistency in kingdom service Stability precedes fruitfulness. You don't get to the "bearing fruit in old age" stage without being planted first. Summary line for the month: Stability is the soil; growth is the fruit. You cannot flourish where you are not planted.

Sermon Notes: FASTING AND PRAYERS GENERATE POWER FOR A CHANGE OF STORY Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: Luke 4:14 Supporting Scriptures: Luke 4:1, Esther 3, Esther 4, Isaiah 54:17 Core Theme: Activating divine empowerment through fasting and prayer to break spiritual resistance, neutralize demonic decrees, and legally enforce a supernatural change of story. 1. Introduction: The Spiritual Imperative of Fasting Fasting is About Power: Fasting is not merely about staying away from food; it is a critical spiritual exercise. When believers engage in fasting and prayer, they are actively drawing near to God to generate dynamic spiritual power. The Pattern of Jesus: Scripture records that Jesus, being full of the Holy Ghost, went into the wilderness. After fasting, He returned in the power of the Spirit. The Power Flow: Power must flow when we fast. Every major patriarch, prophet, and apostle in scripture utilized fasting as a baseline lifestyle to trigger breakthroughs and historical shifts. 2. The Blueprint of Dominion: Executive Control Genesis 1:26 "...let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." Created to Rule: God’s primary purpose for humanity is dominion. Dominion is a legal term representing authority, executive power, and political appointment. The Ultimate Mandate: Man was structurally programmed to take charge, subdue the earth, and enforce God's sovereign will in this material realm. The Loss of Dominion: When a believer's life is consistently subject to patterns of loss, tragedy, or situations they do not desire, it is a sign that their dominion has been compromised and something else is illegally controlling their environment. 3. The Prophetic Case Study: Overturning a Sealed Decree The Irreversible Law: In the book of Esther, Haman utilized demonic manipulations, magicians, and astrologers to cast lots (Pur) for twelve months to select a specific day to completely annihilate the Jewish people. This decree was legally signed and sealed with the king's signet ring, making it completely irreversible by human laws. The Spiritual Counter-Attack: Recognizing that the crisis was rooted in spiritual dimensions, Queen Esther did not rely on her physical beauty or her executive position in the palace. She commanded Mordecai and all the Jews in Shushan to fast and pray for three days—neither eating nor drinking—and committed to doing the same with her maids. The Structural Shift: On the third day, after the fast concluded, Esther put on her royal robes and stood before the king. The fast had completely altered the spiritual climate. Before she could even state her request, the king granted her favor, promising her up to half of the kingdom, which ultimately led to the complete destruction of Haman and the preservation of the Jews. 4. The Six Supernatural Realities Activated by Fasting When believers engage in strategic fasting, they activate precise spiritual tools to enforce dominion over real-world situations: I. The Weapon of Prophetic Proclamations (Incantations) Fasting clarifies your spiritual senses, allowing your tongue to issue powerful, decree-level words. Continuous speaking in tongues is the believer's legal form of divine incantations. While dark forces use early morning incantations to try to control natural elements, believers must rise up in prayer to dynamically program their days and command their environments. II. The Deployment of Material Tokens and Signs God Works Through Elements: God frequently commands the use of physical tokens—such as anointing oil, communion, or specific symbolic acts—to anchor and express invisible spiritual power. The Axe-Head Floating (2 Kings 4): Elisha cut a physical piece of wood and threw it into the water where a borrowed iron axe-head had sunk, causing the heavy metal t

Sermon Notes: Activating Dominion Through Signs and Tokens — Part 3 Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Text: Genesis 1:26–28 Cross-References: Joel 2:28, 1 Corinthians 12:4, Exodus 4:2, 2 Kings 4, Exodus 31 Core Theme: Understanding the diverse expressions of the prophetic office and learning to deploy signs, tokens, and materials as keys to execute God's legislative mandate of dominion on earth. 1. Introduction: The Blueprint of Dominion The Sovereign Intent: God's original purpose in creating humanity was to empower man to have dominion, meaning to be in charge, to be in control, to subdue, to police, and to take over a territory. The Conduit of Heaven: God executes His ultimate will on earth not by coming down directly, but by placing His dynamic thoughts and plans inside the hearts of men whom He has authorized to rule. The Sovereign Toolbox: Dominion does not manifest cheaply; it requires tools. If a believer understands and implements the spiritual tools provided by God, everything in life is structurally programmed to fall directly into place. 2. The Power and Function of the Prophetic A Key Instrument: Throughout scripture, the prophetic operates as one of God's chief instruments for enforcing dominion. Every child of God carries an inherent grace to function prophetically. Prophecy Defined: To speak inspired words that originate directly from the Holy Spirit. A true prophecy contains the raw spiritual energy required for immediate physical manifestation. The Sovereign Conflict: Many believers miss out on prophetic manifestations because they mistakenly blend all expressions of the prophetic into one category. While it is the same Spirit, there are vastly different operations. 3. The 8 Diverse Dimensions of Prophetic Expression 1 Corinthians 12:4 > "There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit." Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa broke down the distinct prophetic functions outlined in Scripture: I. The Nabi (The Spoke-Person) Operation: One who speaks directly on behalf of God as His mouth-piece. Mechanics: Most anointed preachers operate in this dimension. As they preach, they deviate from their physical text to speak words straight from the Spirit that speak directly into the precise life situations of listeners. Examples: Moses, Elijah, Jeremiah. II. The Ro'eh (The Seer) Operation: One who sees deeply into the spirit realm. Mechanics: They see highly spectacular visionary revelations—such as revealing exact passport numbers, names, birthdays, and specific dates. This produces a sense of awe, but the Preacher noted that the seer dimension alone does not always carry the power to manifest miracles or physical healings. Examples: Samuel, Daniel, John the Revelator. III. The Chozeh / Hozeh (The Visionary) Operation: A prophet who receives revelations specifically concerning God's future strategy, plans, and long-term purposes. Mechanics: They possess future-oriented revelation that unlocks strategic insight into where things are going, showing communities or believers exactly what steps to take to bypass upcoming crises. Example: Daniel (who saw into the end times and the days of the Antichrist), Elisha. IV. The Shamar / Shamar (The Intercessor / Watchman) Operation: A watchman who guards, protects, and stays alert through sleepless nights on their knees. Mechanics: They do not always prophesy publicly from a stage; their prophetic function is entirely exercised through deep spiritual vigilance, warning, discernment, and dynamic intercession. Examples: Abraham (interceding for Lot), Ezekiel, Isaiah. V. The Psalmist Prophet Operation: Believers who release prophetic revelation strictly through songs, lyrics, poetry, and written worship. Mechanics: Their songs are not standard human music; they sing under the raw inspiration of the Holy Ghost, declaring mysteries and realities of heaven. Examples: David, Asaph, the sons of Korah. V

Sermon Notes: Activating Dominion Through Signs and Tokens  Part 2 Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Text: Genesis 1:26–28 Supporting Scriptures: Genesis 1:2, Psalm 89:15-18, Psalm 67:5-7, Psalm 34:1, Numbers 13, 1 Samuel 17, Jeremiah 30:19, Acts 16:25-26, 2 Chronicles 20:21-23, Psalm 149:5-9, Nehemiah 8:10, Exodus 4 Core Theme: Enforcing God's legislative and executive decree of dominion over the material realm through spiritual legal keys, prophetic actions, and material tokens. 1. The Prophetic Season of Dominion The Divine Order: God mandated a season of dominion to establish an unwavering corporate posture of rule and authority. The Genesis Blueprint: In biblical study, the Law of First Mention dictates that foundational truths are established in the book of Genesis. Covenants, marriage, seedtime and harvest, and dominion find their structural roots here. Everything that believers baseline their faith upon—including communion, tithing, and kingdom protocols—originates from this architectural book of beginnings. 2. Defining Dominion: Executive and Political Appointment Not Just a Cliché: Dominion sounds like a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing word, but it is not a decorative statement or an emotional coping mechanism. The Legal Definition: Dominion is a term of absolute authority, executive power, and legislative appointment. It is a sovereign assignment from the Creator to take charge, run, and police this material earthly sphere. Enforcing the Sovereign's Will: Dominion is the legal empowerment given to an agent (man) to cause the mind, opinion, counsel, and absolute will of the Primary Authority (God) to be executed on earth. The Lingual Mechanics: In the root Hebrew text, dominion translates to "Tread down" or "Beat down". This proves that dominion is never a passive state; it is an aggressive, continuous activity of spiritual enforcement. 3. The Crisis of Lost Control The Diagnostic Reality Check: If your daily reality is filled with consistent losses, patterns of tragedy, sudden financial drains, and physical afflictions that you do not desire, you are not walking in dominion. Something else is illegally running your life. The Posture of a Ruler: When you are operating in genuine kingdom dominion, you structurally dictate outcomes, map horizons, shape atmospheric realities, and block demonic interference before it manifests. 4. The Functional Dimensions of Dominion To prevent dominion from remaining a theoretical concept, God instituted specific, active spiritual engines to enforce this authority in the material world: The Force of Creativity: Bringing internal spiritual pictures into external material manifestation. The Force of Absolute Faith: Operating from an unshakeable spiritual conviction. The Force of Strategic Prayer: Legally inviting the intervention of heaven. The Force of Prophetic Fasting: Mortifying the flesh to accelerate spiritual power. The Force of Decisive Words: Using your tongue to issue structural decrees. The Force of Covenant Practice (Tithing/Giving): Securing your economic territory from structural financial devouring. The Force of Signs and Tokens: Deploying material elements as physical legal anchors for spiritual power. 5. The Mechanics of Incantations and Tongues The Supernatural Atmosphere: The dynamic realm of the spirit operates heavily on words and spiritual proclamations. The High Posture of Tongues: Deep, structural speaking in tongues is the believer’s scriptural form of divine incantations. When you persistently stream tongues, repeating syllables under the unction of the Holy Ghost, you are speaking divine mysteries that release legislative power to dominate environments. The Parallel Reality: Darkness understands this law. Occultic practitioners and alternative religions deploy early morning voice incantations to command the atmosphere. Believers must step out of emotional Christianity and aggressivel

Sermon Notes: Raised to Praise Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Text: Psalm 89:15–18 Supporting Scriptures: Psalm 34:1, Numbers 13 (Kadesh Barnea Account), 1 Samuel 17 (David & Goliath), Jeremiah 30:19, Psalm 67:5–6, Acts 16:25–26, 2 Chronicles 20:21–23, Psalm 149:5–9, Nehemiah 8:10 Core Theme: In life, your mindset and programming determine your trajectory. Believers must reject a structural identity built on complaining, murmuring, and negativity, and instead tap into the supernatural power of divine programming to become people who are intentionally "raised to praise." 1. Introduction: Identity, Persona, and Mentalities In life, individuals unconsciously adopt specific personas, identities, and mindsets that govern how they react to reality. Many of these default mentalities are completely unbiblical. Your long-term mentality is highly dependent on your internal spiritual programming. You can actively choose the kind of person you want to become by shifting what rules your mind. 2. Prophetic Case Study: Two Distant Categories of Programming Category I: Those "Raised to Complain" (The Ten Spies) The Historical Context (Kadesh Barnea): When the children of Israel reached Kadesh Barnea—the exact border of the Promised Land—Moses dispatched twelve spies to spy out the territory and bring back a structural report. The Negative Report: Ten of the spies returned with a report saturated with fear, murmuring, and defeatist descriptions. They acknowledged the fruitfulness of the land but focused entirely on the obstacles: the fortified cities and the descendants of Anak (the Anakites), who were literal physical giants. The Grasshopper Complex: The ten spies reported: "We saw ourselves as grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight." Instead of focusing on God's foundational promises, they viewed reality through their physical shortcomings, short stature, and inadequate military experience. The Warning Against Structural Complaining: These ten spies represent individuals who are culturally and systematically programmed to only spot negativity, problems, errors, and disadvantages in any environment, group, or local church. Category II: Those "Raised to Praise" (Joshua and Caleb) Operating under an entirely different internal spirit, Joshua and Caleb stood before the assembly with a contradictory testimony. They witnessed the exact same giants, cities, and physical realities, yet their immediate response was praise, confidence, and radical faith. Where the ten spies perceived an un-scalable wall of destruction, those raised to praise perceived a divine opportunity to rise up, break forth, and fully conquer the territory. 3. The Structural Mechanics of a Praiser: The Pattern of David Psalm 34:1 "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." Praise Under Pressure: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa emphasized that true praise must be deployed regardless of what is laid out on your physical plate or unfolding in your life. Praise is non-negotiable; it cannot be limited to good times. If you do not master this, the enemy will inevitably conquer your mind with deep depression and structural anxiety. The Rejection of the Wilderness: David was structurally rejected by his own biological family, left out of academic opportunities, and abandoned in the isolated desert to tend sheep while his brothers were groomed for leadership. Yet, instead of developing bitterness, David utilized the isolation of the desert to master the joyful sound and compose timeless Psalms. The Confrontation with Goliath (1 Samuel 17): Because David was forged in private praise, he walked onto the active war front with a completely different spiritual estimation. While King Saul and the entire trained army of Israel were physically shaking and paralyzed by the daily threats of Goliath of Gath, David saw the giant simply as an uncircumcised Philistine and a struct

Sermon Notes: Activating Dominion Through Signs and Tokens Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: Genesis 1:26–29 Core Theme: Activating the believer's absolute dominion on earth by engineering supernatural encounters and deploying legal, prophetic signs and tokens. 1. The Core Mystery: The Power of Supernatural Encounters A believer’s life is fundamentally defined and limited by the depth of their encounters. The Engine of Manifestation: Every major dynamic testimony, breakthrough, or global impact linked to any servant of God is a direct product of an encounter. You cannot walk in a high dimension of spiritual authority without it. Definition of an Encounter: A supernatural visitation where a mortal intersects with divinity, leading to an exchange of something divine. Once this occur, a person is fundamentally altered forever. Specific vs. General Blessings: There are general blessings that God blankets over everyone—such as the sun shining and rain falling on both the righteous and the wicked. However, specific manifestations of grace, authority, and prosperity only follow individuals who have established specific encounters with God. 2. Structural Examples of Encounter-Driven Ministry I. The Sign of Supernatural Power (Apostle Joshua Selman) Apostle Joshua Selman operates under a peculiar manifestation of the Holy Ghost. While preaching, deep screaming, deliverances, and people collapsing under raw power take place automatically. This operation isn't regular or normal, it tracks back to a specific encounter where the Lord promised him a specific sign that would follow his preaching globally, whether in the UK, Ghana, Nigeria, or America. II. The Sign of Financial Miracles  While waiting on the Lord on a mission trip in a hotel room, he had an encounter with an angel of the Lord. The end product of that visitation was a raw anointing for prosperity given to make God's people wealthy. Consequently, a strange sign follows his ministry where dynamic, instant financial miracles and digital mobile alerts ("momo" miracles) consistently manifest live. 3. The Structural Discovery of Human Divinity Man as a Corporate Community: When God said, "Let us make man in our image..." He was speaking within Himself as a community (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost). Similarly, man as an individual is a structured spiritual community. The Power of Meditation: Because man is built as an internal community, a believer can enter a "council session" with themselves through deep meditation. As you think and speak internally, deep divine answers surface because of the inherent nature of divinity operating within you. The Command Over Worry: When Jesus commanded, "Do not worry," He wasn't just offering emotional encouragement; He was laying down a heavy divine principle. Worry acts as a negative spiritual energy that invites structural damage (such as ulcers, bitterness, and heart failures), whereas walking in divine authority directly alters the length of your days and your reality. 4. The Creation Blueprint of Dominion Genesis 1:26 "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'" Dominion as Man's Primary Purpose: Humanity has no true scriptural purpose on earth outside of exercising absolute dominion. God created man specifically to serve as a dominating force to run and police this material earthly realm. The Scope of Dominion: The legal right of control spans across the sea (fish), the air (birds), and the physical landscape (cattle and creepers). Before the fall, everything in creation moved instantly at man's command. Science and Scripture: Science does not correct or challenge the Bible; science merely discovers and catalogs the complex laws that God’s Word structurally locked into

Sermon Notes: A FATHER'S LEGACY Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:10–15 Cross-References: Matthew 16:18, Ephesians 2:20, John 15:16, Matthew 7:24–27 Core Theme: Understanding our identity as living building materials in God's Church, auditing the spiritual quality of our service, and learning to build sustainably upon the only true foundation—Jesus Christ. 1. Introduction: A Father's Legacy The service opened with a celebratory recognition of fathers, anchored by a moving personal poem titled "A Father's Legacy." A father is far more than a name or a presence; he is a shelter when storms arise, a steady hand under uncertain skies, and a silent sacrifice bearer. The Spiritual Parallel: A father plants what future generations reap, sowing dreams and deep truths. In the exact same way, spiritual leaders and believers are called to be builders who leave a permanent, fireproof legacy within the Kingdom of God. 2. The Scriptural Chain & Exposition Part I: The Blueprint and the Architect 1 Corinthians 3:10 "According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it." "According to the grace..." Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa emphasized that building in the Kingdom is never about human talent, personal ambition, or ego. True kingdom building begins and ends strictly with the specific grace allocated to you by God. "As a wise master builder..." The Greek word used here is architecton (chief architect or master craftsman). Paul treats ministry and church work as a serious, heavy construction project—not a casual hobby. "Let each one take heed..." This is a strict apostolic warning. As a believer, you do not have the creative liberty to build your spiritual life or your church service however you feel like. There is a precise master blueprint to follow. Part II: The Non-Negotiable Foundation 1 Corinthians 3:11 "For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." "No other foundation..." The Pastor hammered this point home: Christ is the Chief Cornerstone. Every wall, every department, and every individual life must align with Him. The Danger of False Foundations: He explicitly warned against building your Christian walk or church identity on structurally compromised, sandy foundations: Personality: Chasing a dynamic speaker or charismatic leader instead of anchoring your soul to Christ. Denominations or Traditions: Relying on a church name, its long-standing reputation, or systemic rituals rather than an active relationship with Jesus. Charisma or Trends: Chasing after superficial elements like miracles, signs, or mere social gatherings instead of the foundational, unchanging truth of the gospel. The Ultimate Reality: If your faith is built on a human being or a temporary environment, you will leave the church when they disappoint you. If Christ is your foundation, human offenses cannot move you. Part III: The Two Categories of Building Materials 1 Corinthians 3:12 "Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw..." Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa contrasted these six materials into two distinct spiritual categories, challenging the congregation to audit what they are handing God during their weekly service: Material Group Spiritual Representation & Meaning Fire Endurance Quality Gold God’s divine nature, His undeniable glory, and completely pure motives. Survives, Refines, & Purifies Silver Redemption, covenant value, and active, passionate soul-winning. Survives, Refines, & Purifies Precious Stones Spiritual maturity, a transformed character, and a faith tested through trials. Survives, Refines, & Purifies Wood Purely human effort, fleshly reliance, and doing God's work in your own strength. Turns Instantly to Ash Hay

Jesus, the Master Builder, and the Mystery of the Church Preacher: Pastor Ebenezer Okronipa Key Scriptures: Matthew 16:13-19, Romans 12:2, Colossians 1:18 1. Introduction: Moving From Church-Goer to the Church The Danger of Mere Attendance: A churchgoer is someone who attends church but does not let the church (the reality of Christ) attend to them. The Reality of Our Walk: True Christianity is not about searching for God—it is about being found in Him, hidden in Him, and living with the consciousness that you are the house and tabernacle of God. Boldness in Identity: When you understand that the Greater One lives in you, fear dissipates, and you walk in victory. 2. The Progression: Revelation $\rightarrow$ Transformation $\rightarrow$ Manifestation The Core Problem: The lack of manifestations (testimonies, results of faith) in many Christians' lives is a direct result of a lack of internal transformation. The Solution (Romans 12:2): Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world. Transformation happens through the renewal of your mind. The Pipeline: 1. Understanding Your Source: Knowing you come from God changes how you think. 2. Transformation: A renewed mind transforms your nature. 3. Manifestation: Transformation guarantees that your life becomes a living expression of the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. 3. The Nature of God as a Builder God’s Blueprint: God works systematically, structurally, and according to specific patterns—never randomly or chaotically. Built for Habitation: Whatever God constructs, He builds to inhabit and occupy it Himself. The Old Testament Progression of Building: Altars: Represent personal devotion and intimacy in the secret place. Your public victory is directly tied to your private space with God. Tabernacles: Represent the public, corporate manifestation of God during the journey (temporary/transitionary phase). Temples: Represent permanence, maturity, and establishment. 4. The True Mystery and Identity of the Church Christ the Master Builder: In the New Testament, God’s ultimate building project is The Church ("I will build my church"). Ownership: The Church does not belong to a pastor, a founder, a denomination, or a government—it belongs solely to Jesus Christ. He is the owner, foundation, cornerstone, architect, and master builder. What the Church is NOT: The Church is not a social club or a human institution. Therefore, personal offenses between individuals should never cause you to abandon the Church, because it is Christ’s body. What the Church IS: * God's Family. The Body of Christ (Christ is the head who plans, and we are the body that executes). A Kingdom Embassy (Our true citizenship is in heaven, and we exist to issue "visas" to bring people into the Kingdom through missions and discipleship). Podcast Reflection / Takeaway Questions: Are you approaching church as a social institution, or are you actively participating as a structural block in Christ's body? Is your personal "Altar" (your secret place of prayer and devotion) strong enough to sustain your public life? How can you align yourself more with Christ's active building process this week?

Sermon Notes: PATHWAYS TO WEALTH Speaker: Rev. Dr.  Ebenezer Okronipa Occasion: Finance Convention Day 1 Key Scripture: “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth...” — Deuteronomy 8:18 I. The Spiritual Foundation of Wealth The Power to Get Wealth: Wealth is not merely an accident; it is an ability given by God. If God gives you the "map" or the "key," it is because He intends for you to arrive at the destination of abundance. Prosperity as a Spirit: Prosperity attracts those who carry a specific spiritual alignment and repels those who do not. Poverty can be a "stronghold" or a "lock" that keeps people in a cycle of bad decisions. The Mentality of Wealth: Breaking the spirit of poverty is only the first step. One must also deal with the mentality and habits of poverty, or the spirit will return. II. The Prophetic and Strategic Connection The Role of the Man of God: A spiritual leader carries the capacity to help "make many rich" (2 Corinthians 6:10). Spiritual encounters and prophetic instructions are often the "activators" for financial breakthroughs. The Power of Instruction: Pastor Okronipa shares a testimony of a man who was instructed by a spirit to give 25% of his meager weekly income (5 out of 20 cedis). Despite initial frustration, consistent obedience to this "prophetic activator" eventually led to a massive increase in his finances. III. The Components of "True Wealth" (Haleel) True wealth is more than just "riches" (liquid cash); it is the Hebrew concept of "Kayil," which implies force, strength, and resources. Faith in God: A covenant relationship with God through Jesus is the most vital denominator. Strategic Relationships: Human capital is wealth. Having a "bucket" of connections—lawyers, doctors, accountants, and spiritual fathers—provides leverage. Material Possessions: Desiring material growth (homes, land, technology) is a valid aspect of a wealthy life. Experiences: Practical "wealth of experience" can open doors that formal education cannot. Knowledge and Skills: Rich people trade knowledge for money. Learning a skill (plumbing, IT, content creation, even the "skill of prayer") creates opportunities where certificates might fail. IV. Practical Takeaways Self-Presentation: How you carry yourself matters. Confidence and composure attract resources. Thriving vs. Surviving: "Survival" is the mentality of the poor; "Thriving" is the mentality of the wealthy. The Power of Negotiation: Mastery of negotiation ensures you are never paid less than you deserve. Creating an Atmosphere: Generosity and intentionality create an atmosphere that attracts supply. Conclusion: The journey to wealth begins with a change of mind. God is releasing a "spiritual token" or "access" to open doors for those who are ready to move from glory to glory.

Sermon Notes: The Dominion Mandate Of The Woman Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28, Genesis 2:18, Proverbs 31. I. The Co-Equal Mandate Genesis 1:27-28: God created man in His own image—male and female. He blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply... and have dominion." Dominion is Gender-Neutral: The authority to rule over the earth was not given to the man alone. Women carry the same "Dominion DNA" and creative capacity as men. Identity in Christ: A woman’s value is first found in her creation in the image of God, not her marital status or societal role. II. Redefining the "Helper" (Ezer) The Hebrew Meaning of "Help Meet": The word Ezer used in Genesis 2:18 is the same word used to describe God as our "Helper" (Psalm 121:1-2). Not a Subordinate, but a Strength: A helper is not someone who is less capable; rather, they are someone who possesses the specific strength or resources that are currently missing. Strategic Partnership: The woman was created to bring completion and "surround" the man with wisdom, support, and spiritual insight to ensure the divine purpose is achieved. III. The Power of Influence and "Building" The Architect of the Home: "The wise woman builds her house" (Proverbs 14:1). Rev. Okronipa stresses that a woman’s influence can either establish or dismantle a legacy. Spiritual Intuition: Women are often gifted with a unique spiritual sensitivity and discernment that is vital for protecting the family and the church from the enemy’s tactics. Maternal Dominion: Dominion is expressed through nurturing, teaching, and shaping the next generation of leaders. IV. Overcoming Cultural and Religious Limitations Breaking the "Silence": The preacher addresses historical misinterpretations of scripture used to suppress women's voices, noting that in Christ, "there is neither male nor female" regarding spiritual inheritance (Galatians 3:28). The Deborah Anointing: Just as Deborah was a judge, prophetess, and mother in Israel, modern women are called to lead in professional, spiritual, and social spheres. Resisting Inferiority: A woman must refuse to see herself as "second-class." If God has called her to a task, He has authorized her to lead in it. V. Conclusion: Walking in Full Authority Fruitfulness: Women are called to be productive in their careers, businesses, and ministries. Multiplication: Taking what is small and making it great through the power of the Holy Spirit. Subduing: Taking authority over chaos and bringing the order of the Kingdom of God into every environment they enter. Closing Prayer/Declaration: "I declare that I am a woman of dominion. I am not an afterthought; I am a divine necessity. I walk in the authority given to me by God to build, to fruitify, and to rule. I break every limitation off my life and step into my full mandate in Jesus' name. Amen."

Sermon Notes: The Perception of Love Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa  Main Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 14:1, Galatians 5:6, Mark 11:23-25, 1 Peter 3:8-12. I. The Purpose of the Church A Place for Healing: The church is meant for "offended" and "weak" people seeking God's help. Believers must be patient with one another's frailties. The Problem of Offense: Satan uses offense as leverage to break down churches. Leaving a church due to a personal hurt is often a sign of spiritual immaturity and selfishness. Spiritual Training: Being offended serves as a test to see how far your "love life" has actually developed. II. The Supernatural Power of Love (Agape) Faith’s Engine: According to Galatians 5:6, faith is "activated, energized, and expressed" through love. Without love, faith for miracles or breakthroughs will eventually shut down. Beyond Human Sentiment: While human love (Storge, Philia, Eros) is powerful, Agape is the "God-kind" of love that allows a believer to sacrifice for others and forgive even the deepest wrongs. Miracles through Love: Love has the power to cast out demons and bring healing where standard spiritual warfare might struggle. III. The Doctrine and Discipline of Forgiveness Unforgiveness as Poison: Holding onto a grudge is described as "drinking poison and expecting the other person to die". Blocked Prayers: Mark 11:25 teaches that before you pray for a mountain to move, you must first forgive anyone you have something against. No Conditional Forgiveness: Believers shouldn't wait for an apology to forgive. Forgiveness is a spiritual decision that reopens the door to God's favor. IV. Divine Protection and Long Life The "Eyes of the Lord": 1 Peter 3 promises that those who seek peace, avoid evil speech, and walk in love will enjoy divine protection and "good days". Escaping Satanic Traps: Walking in love keeps spiritual doors closed to the enemy. Bitterness often provides a foothold for demonic operations and physical sickness. V. Practical Application: How to Love Tenderheartedness: Replace hard-heartedness and stubbornness with a soft, easily entreated spirit. Courtesy and Respect: Love is evidenced in simple courtesy and how we treat those "below" us in social or spiritual status. Protecting Others: Love seeks to protect and cover the reputations of others rather than exposing their mistakes. Closing Challenge: Identify someone who has treated you unfairly and make the decision to bless them and pray for their welfare, thereby aligning your heart with the nature of God.

Sermon Notes: The Practice of Love: The Power for Victory  Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa   Main Scripture Focus: Galatians 5:6, Mark 11:23-25, 1 Peter 3:8-12, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. I. Love: The Engine of Faith The Activation of Power: Faith is not a standalone force; it is "activated, energized, and expressed" through love. The Cause of Stagnation: If your confessions of Scripture are not producing results, check your love walk. Bitterness and unforgiveness act as spiritual blockades to miracles. Maturity Over Gifting: The greatest measurement of spiritual growth is not the intensity of your tongues or the accuracy of a prophecy, but the depth of your love for others. II. The Danger of Offense and the "Gates of Hell" The Trap of Offense: Satan often uses offense as leverage to fight against the church. When you decide to leave a church or stop serving because of an offense, you are falling into a demonic snare. A "Hospital" Mindset: The church is not a place for perfect people; it is a place for the "sick, weak, and offended" looking for healing. We must accommodate each other's frailties. Selfishness in Conflict: Most offenses in the body of Christ are rooted in self-centeredness—being more concerned with one's own feelings than the unity of the body. III. Love as Divine Protection The Power of Forgiveness: Forgiveness is a spiritual decision, not an emotion. When you forgive, you close the doors that allow the enemy access to your life. The Consequences of Bitterness: Bitterness can cause physical sickness and spiritual blindness, leading a person to "not know where they are going". The "Eyes of the Lord": According to 1 Peter 3, long life, "good days," and divine protection are promised to those who keep their tongues from evil and seek peace. IV. Practical Love in Action The sermon outlines specific traits of Agape love that believers must practice: Suffering Long: Enduring difficult people with patience. Being Kind: actively seeking the welfare and happiness of others. Not Boasting or Being Proud: Operating without a sense of superiority or "puffing yourself up" over others. Keeping No Record of Wrongs: refusing to hold on to past hurts or using them against someone later. Protecting Others: Covering a brother or sister in private rather than exposing their weaknesses. V. Conclusion: The Victorious Walk Everything Else May Fail: Prophecies, tongues, and specialized knowledge are temporary and may fail or cease, but love is eternal and never fails. The Final Goal: The believer's "great quest" should be to attain a state where they speak the truth in love and grow into the full stature of Christ. Sermon Declaration: “I refuse to live a powerless or disconnected life. I choose to make love my great quest. From today, I reposition my life so that my faith is energized by love, my prayers are answered, and I walk in the total victory of God.”

Sermon Notes: The Doctrine of God's Love Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: 1 John 4:7-8, 1 Corinthians 12-14, Ephesians 4-5. I. The Essence of God is Love Divine Identity: God does not just "have" love; He is love. The New Birth Connection: Being "born of God" is inherently linked to love; knowing God is measured by your capacity to love. The Measuring Rod of Maturity: Spiritual growth isn't defined by the intensity of your faith or the frequency of your visions, but by your conduct in love. II. Love vs. Spiritual Gifts The Futility of Giftings Without Love: One can speak in tongues, prophesy, and understand mysteries, but without love, they are "nothing". Sacrifice (giving to the poor or giving one's body to be burned) profits nothing if not motivated by love. The More Excellent Way: Love is the primary "spiritual endowment" that should be eagerly pursued above all other gifts. III. Love in the Body of Christ The Five-Fold Ministry's Goal: Apostles, prophets, and teachers are given to equip the saints to "speak the truth in love," leading to a "perfect man" modeled after Christ. Collective Revelation: Jesus is best revealed to the world through the members of the church acting in love, rather than through individual spiritual manifestations. The Danger of Stagnation: People often leave churches not because they lack miracles, but because they lack the "picture of Christ" which is only visible through loving relationships. IV. The Hard Truth: Love and Sacrifice Walking in Love Means Dying: To walk in Agape love requires a "crucifixion" of the self. Forgiveness as Power: Love requires us to ignore offenses and love those who have treated us poorly—even when it is "righteous" to be angry. The Warning: Unforgiveness and bitterness act as "spiritual blockades" that hinder your prayer life and fellowship with God. V. Types of Love (Human vs. God-Kind) Human-Kind Love: Includes Storge (family/blood), Philia (friendship), and Eros (romantic). These are powerful but limited by human nature. God-Kind Love (Agape): A "liquid love" poured into the heart by the Holy Spirit. It is the only love capable of truly honoring God and producing eternal profit. Closing Declaration: “I choose to pursue love as my great quest. I will be an imitator of God by walking in love, allowing the Holy Spirit to stir my heart toward those who have hurt me, so that I may grow into the full measure of Christ.”

Sermon Notes: Katartizo – Creating Your Miracle with Your Words Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: Hebrews 11:3 – "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." I. Understanding "Katartizo" Definition: The Greek word Katartizo means to put in order, to restore, or to complete. The Blueprint of Creation: God did not use pre-existing material to create the world; He used His words. Words are the "building blocks" of the spirit realm. The Power to Repair: Just as a fisherman mends his nets (Katartizo), you can use your words to mend broken areas of your life—finances, health, or relationships. II. The Law of Confession Faith Must Speak: Faith is not passive. 2 Corinthians 4:13 says, "I believed and therefore I spoke." If you believe it but won't say it, you aren't fully exercising faith. The "Say-Check": Your words should not describe your problem; they should declare your solution. Don't say "I am sick"; say "By His stripes, I am healed." Alignment: Your mouth must be in agreement with God’s Word. When your confession aligns with Scripture, you give the Holy Spirit the "material" to work with in your life. III. Framing Your World You are the Architect: Your words are like the frame of a house. They set the boundaries and the structure of what you can experience. The Echo Effect: The circumstances you see today are often the "echoes" of words you spoke yesterday. To change the echo, you must change the original sound (your speech). Dominion through Speech: God gave man dominion. In the Kingdom of God, dominion is exercised through decrees. A king does not struggle; he speaks, and it is done. IV. Practical Steps to "Katartizo" Your Life Identify the Breach: Locate the area of your life that is out of order or "unframed." Find the Word: Search the Scriptures for a promise that addresses that specific need. Release the Sound: Consistently speak that Word over your situation. Do not be moved by what you see; stay focused on what you are saying. Refuse Contrary Talk: Stop "self-sabotaging" by speaking doubt, fear, or gossip, which tears down the frame you are trying to build. Key Quote: "Your world is a product of your words. If you don't like what you see, change what you are saying." Closing Prayer/Declaration: "I declare that my world is framed by the Word of God. I am mending every broken area of my life with my confession. My future is bright, my health is restored, and my paths are made straight by the power of my words. Amen."

Sermon Title:  THE PRACTICE OF LOVE Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 14:1, 1 Corinthians 13:1-8, John 14:21-23, Galatians 5:6. I. The Priority of Soul Winning The Mark of Wisdom: "He that wins souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:30). Eternal Impact: earthly fame and wealth are temporary, but the impact made in heaven through soul winning lasts forever. A Call to Action: Believers should pray to become "ardent soul winners," asking God to use their lives to bring others to righteousness. II. Love: The Most Excellent Way Beyond Gifts: One can speak in tongues, prophesy, or work miracles, but without love, they are merely a "clanging cymbal". The Measurement of Maturity: Spiritual growth is not measured by the depth of one's tongues or the number of visions they see, but by the dimension of their love. The Nature of Agape: This is a supernatural love that allows a person to sacrifice for others—even strangers—without expecting anything in return. III. The Manifestation of God through Love The Conditional Presence: Jesus promises to manifest Himself to those who love Him and keep His commandments. Check the "Love Meter": If you are not experiencing the presence of God, examine the genuineness of your love for Him and others. The Danger of Hypocrisy: Many in the church "smile but don't love." True love requires being real and honest, rather than pretending. IV. The Practical Dangers of Not Walking in Love Hindered Faith: According to Galatians 5:6, "faith worketh by love." Without love, faith for healing or miracles cannot produce results. Physical Sickness: Unforgiveness and hatred (e.g., toward family members) can manifest as physical ailments like high blood pressure or heart conditions. Loss of Members: People often leave churches not because of a lack of miracles, but because they do not feel the love and compassion of the community. V. Practicing Love Daily Love is an intentional action, not just an emotion. It involves: Suffering Long: Enduring annoying people with patience. Being Kind: Looking for ways to help others even when it is inconvenient. Not Being Easily Provoked: Refusing to take offense or seek revenge. Thinking No Evil: Choosing to see the best in people rather than being constantly suspicious. Closing Challenge: Identify one "difficult person" in your life this week and intentionally show them the Agape love of God.

CREATING YOUR MIRACLE WITH WORDS Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Theme:  CREATING YOUR MIRACLE WITH WORDS Core Message: The Christian life is inherently supernatural, and believers have the divine ability to "frame" or manufacture their reality through bold spiritual declarations. Scripture References Mark 16:17-18: These signs follow those who believe, including casting out devils, speaking in new tongues, and being unharmed by deadly things. Acts 1:8: "You shall receive power" (Greek: Dunamis), interpreted here as access to miracle-working ability. Hebrews 11:2: Through faith, the elders obtained a "good report" or divine testimony that did not exist before. Hebrews 11:3: "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God". Key Points & Sub-points 1. The Nature of Miracles External Intervention: A miracle is something that defies natural logic and requires external divine intervention to manifest. Replicability: Miracles are not random occurrences (intoms); they are replicable if one understands the spiritual laws and technology that govern them. Miracles as Atmosphere: Creating an atmosphere for the miraculous involves applying specific scriptural principles. 2. "Katartizo": The Technology of Framing Framing the World: The Greek word Katartizo means to mold, shape, fabricate, or manufacture using specific materials. Words as Building Materials: Just as God framed the universe with His word, believers use their words to frame their own systems and patterns (aeons) within the earth. Stability in the Word: Unlike opinions or feelings, the Word of God is immutable and provides the necessary stability for spiritual construction. 3. The Miracle in Your Mouth Bold Declaration: The sermon emphasizes that a believer’s miracle is tied to their speech. Speaking feelings or negative circumstances (e.g., "I don't have money") only frames more of that negative reality. Case Study (Philippa): A student was encouraged to speak boldly against a situation where her father's imported cars were being seized at the port. By refusing to sympathize with the problem and instead declaring a positive outcome, the situation was miraculously reversed by a higher authority. Changing the Atmosphere: Continual positive declaration acts like water vapor forming clouds; eventually, the "spiritual cloud" becomes heavy enough to pour out as a physical manifestation. Call to Action / Application Stop Speaking Feelings: Do not speak what you see or feel; speak what you believe according to God's Word. Boldness in Prayer: Approach God with boldness rather than timidity, as boldness activates spiritual power. Personal Confession: Actively declare strength, health, and abundance over your life to shift your spiritual atmosphere from one of bad luck (mattah) to one of divine favor.

Sermon Notes: THE PRIORITY OF LOVE: YOUR GREATEST PURSUIT Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, 1 Corinthians 14:1, Matthew 22:37-39, 1 John 4:7-8 I. The Core Mandate: Love as the Primary Pursuit The Greatest Quest: Love is not merely a spiritual option; it is the ultimate pursuit of the Christian life. The Supremacy of Love: While spiritual gifts like prophecy, tongues, and miracles are desirable, they are "nothing" and "meaningless" without the foundation of love. The Definition of Maturity: Spiritual growth is not measured by the intensity of one's spiritual gifts, but by one’s capacity to love and forgive others. A Law of Necessity: Following Christ requires prioritizing love as a command, not a suggestion—loving God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. II. The Purpose of Spiritual Power For the Body, Not the Individual: Spiritual gifts and anointing are given to serve and protect the "weaker" members of the church body, just as the most vulnerable parts of the human body are the most covered and cared for. Against Elitism: True spiritual power rejects social elitism; it does not favor the wealthy or educated over those who appear less prominent. Kingdom Value: Anointing is intended to bring deliverance and change to others, not to build a personal reputation as a "major prophet" or servant of God. III. The Dangers of Walking Without Love Pastor Okronipa identifies six grave dangers for those who neglect the walk of love: Faith Failure: Faith is "powered by love" (Galatians 5:6); if love is absent, your faith will stop working regardless of how many scriptures you confess. Hindered Prayers: Harboring offense or bitterness against anyone—including family or leadership—acts as a barrier that prevents God from answering your petitions. Disconnected Fellowship: Because "God is love," failing to love others means you are stepping out of alignment and fellowship with God's nature. Open Doors to the Enemy: Bitterness and unreleased anger provide a "foothold" for demonic oppression and spiritual instability. Zero Kingdom Profit: Even the most extreme sacrifices (like giving all your goods to the poor or giving your body to be burned) have "zero reward" if they are not rooted in love. Spiritual Blindness: Claiming to be in the "light" while hating a brother means you are actually walking in darkness and deception. IV. Practical Application Examine the "Heart-o-meter": Regularly check for hidden bitterness, jealousy, or envy that might be hindering your spiritual progress. Celebrate Others: Mature love celebrates the success, gifts, and strengths of others without the need for competition. Repent of Lovelessness: We must surrender ambitions and spiritual activities that are not rooted in the nature of Christ, which is love. Closing Thought: "To grow spiritually is to grow in God, and to grow in God is to grow in love, because God is love."

Sermon Title: Making the Love of Christ Your Great Quest Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 13 & 14, 2 Thessalonians 3:5, Ephesians 5:1-2 I. The Mandate: Love as the Primary Pursuit In the Christian walk, there is a distinct hierarchy of spiritual priorities. While the church often emphasizes power and gifts, Scripture redirects our focus toward love as the "more excellent way." The Command to Pursue: 1 Corinthians 14:1 instructs us to "Pursue love." The Greek word used here is dioko, which means to eagerly chase or hunt, much like a predator pursues its prey. The Difference Between Desire and Quest: You are told to desire spiritual gifts but to make love your quest. You can desire something without chasing it, but a quest requires an intentional, life-altering pursuit. The Goal: Love must be your "bullseye"—the very center of your spiritual aim. II. The Futility of Gifts Without Love 1 Corinthians 13 highlights that the highest levels of spiritual operation are rendered useless if they are not fueled by love. 1. Spiritual Utterances If you speak in the tongues of men or even angels but lack love, you are merely a "sounding brass" or a "clanging cymbal." Without love, powerful prayer and tongues become an "empty sound" that is frustrating and irritating rather than transformative. 2. Revelation and Knowledge One can understand all mysteries and possess all knowledge, yet if love is absent, the person is "nothing." 3. Miracle-Working Faith Even faith that is powerful enough to remove mountains is profitless without the component of love. 4. Extreme Sacrifice Giving all your goods to the poor or even giving your body to be burned (martyrdom) profits you nothing if the motivation is not love. Correction on Human Love: Often, we mistake "kindness" or "human affinity" for God's love. True Agape goes beyond loving those in our circle; it is a supernatural disposition. III. The Superiority of Love The Bible establishes that love is the greatest of the abiding virtues. The Abiding Three: Faith, hope, and love remain, but love is the greatest. The More Excellent Way: 1 Corinthians 12:31 transitions into the love chapter by promising to show us a way that is superior to all spiritual offices and gifts. IV. Defining the Quest: Walking in the Love of God To pursue love is to pursue the very nature of God. Directed Hearts: 2 Thessalonians 3:5 is a prayer that the Lord "direct your hearts into the love of God." This implies that our hearts need divine navigation to stay aligned with His love. Imitating the Father: Ephesians 5:1-2 calls us to be "imitators of God" as dear children. The Standard of Christ: We are commanded to "walk in love, as Christ also has loved us." This is a sacrificial love—one that gives itself up as an offering. V. Practical Application: An Excellent Church An "excellent" church is not defined by its social gatherings or the fame of its leaders, but by its operation in love and the Spirit. Love Removes Barriers: When a church walks in the love of God, tribalism, social status, and personal offenses disappear. Gifts Flourishing in Love: Spiritual gifts (prophecy, healing, miracles) should be evident in the church, but they must be exercised through the "more excellent way" of love to be effective. A Burden for the People: The greatest drain on a leader is not the exercise of power, but the emotional labor of counseling those who are not walking in love and are thus easily frustrated or offended. Conclusion and Call to Action Make the love of God your Great Quest. Do not be satisfied with merely being "spiritual" or "gifted." Ask the Holy Spirit to direct your heart into a love that is sacrificial, consistent, and modeled after Jesus Christ. Prayer Point: "Lord, direct my heart into Your love. Let my life be an imitation of Christ's love in every word and action."

Sermon Notes: "Jesus, The Turning Point" Preacher: Rev. DR. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Reference: Mark 5:25–34 (The Woman with the Issue of Blood) I. The Universal Need for a Turning Point Life is filled with many challenges, calamities, and sorrows that can cause people to feel backward, negative, or overwhelmed. Definition: A turning point is a divine encounter or a specific point in time that shifts a person from backwards to forwards, negativity to positivity, and sorrow to rejoicing. The Reality of Struggle: Everyone, regardless of their background, faces something that weighs them down—be it in education, marriage, health, or personal shame. The Human Response: In the midst of problems, people often look for help in the wrong places, such as: Juju/Occultism: Seeking supernatural help from sources other than God. Human Influence: Relying on wealthy or influential people who ultimately have limitations. Destructive Habits: Turning to drugs, alcohol, or other vices to numb the pain. Key Thought: Human beings are limited and will eventually fail you, even those with the best intentions. II. The Origin of Life’s Problems If God created a perfect world, why is there so much suffering? The Perfect Beginning: God created everything perfect in the Garden of Eden, with man made in His own image. The Fall of Man: Through the deception of the serpent and the disobedience of Adam and Eve, sin entered the world. The Consequence: Every challenge—sickness, broken hearts, mental breakdowns, and poverty—is a manifestation of the "death" that resulted from sin. III. Jesus: The Ultimate Turning Point Jesus Christ is the only one who can truly change a person’s situation because He is the Way, the Truth, the Life, and the Light. Case Study: The Woman with the Issue of Blood The Condition: She suffered for 12 years with a constant flow of blood. The Frustration: She spent all her money on various doctors but only grew worse. The Isolation: Under Levitical law, she was considered "unclean," leading to spiritual, emotional, and social isolation. The Encounter: She heard about Jesus—the one who healed the blind, the deaf, and even raised the dead. The Act of Faith: She told herself, "If I may but touch the hem of His garment, I shall be made whole". The Result: The moment she touched Him, 12 years of suffering ended instantly.  IV. How to Connect with Your Turning Point Pastor Okronipa outlines the A-B-C-D steps to receiving a miracle and salvation through Jesus: A - Accept: Acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of help. B - Believe: Have faith that Jesus came to die for your sins and was resurrected for your justification. C - Confess: Declare with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. D - Dedicate: Commit your life to serving Him forever; this includes joining a community of believers (the Church). Conclusion Jesus wants your joy to be full. He is able to move you from obscurity to prominence and from being a "nobody" to a "somebody". No matter the generational curse or the length of the struggle, an encounter with Jesus is the turning point you need.

Sermon Notes: The Firstfruit Resurrection Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 I. Introduction: The Uniqueness of Christ’s Resurrection The Definitive Event: The resurrection is the single event that sets Jesus Christ above every historical or religious figure. Fulfilled Prophecy: Unlike other leaders who died and remained in the grave, Jesus predicted His death and His return to life, bringing salvation to humanity. The Consummation of Promises: Jesus is the fulfillment of every promise God ever made to man; He is the "one single heart desire" and vision of God. II. The Scriptural Basis (1 Corinthians 15:20-23) The Firstfruit: Christ has risen from the dead and become the "firstfruits" of those who have fallen asleep (died in faith). The Two Adams: * Through one man (Adam), death entered the world. Through another man (Christ), the resurrection from the dead came to all. Life in Him: "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive." III. Finding Your Identity in the Word Moving Beyond Application: Many Christians have weak faith because they try to apply the Word to their lives rather than seeing themselves in the Word. Living Expressions: We are called to be "living expressions" of the Word of God—Word in motion and power in action. Subjective Understanding: We must lose our "objectivity" toward life and subject our understanding entirely to what God has said. Breaking Lineages: When you find yourself in the Scriptures, you are no longer a victim of generational curses or bloodline patterns; your bloodline is now defined by Christ. IV. The Threefold Revelation of Jesus To have strong faith, one must understand Jesus in three specific roles: The King: The sovereign ruler. The Savior (Messiah): The one who delivers. The Lamb of God: The sacrifice who takes away the sins of the entire world (including the media and unbelievers), not just Christians. V. The Reality of the Resurrection The Scrutiny: As a "Lamb without blemish," Jesus' life was questioned and scrutinized by man, yet He died sinless for the sake of sinners. The Victory in Hell: After His physical death, Jesus' soul entered Hell to defeat Satan and take the keys of death and Hades (Revelation 1:18). The Power of an Endless Life: * Other resurrections (like Lazarus) were returns to a mortal life that would eventually end again. Christ’s resurrection introduced a "new kind of life"—Zoe, which is eternal, incorruptible, and undying. VI. Practical Application: Living the Resurrection Life No Fear of Death: Because Jesus holds the keys, a Christian should not fear death. It is not an end, but a transition to being present with the Lord. Authority Over Sickness and Poverty: Resurrection life (immortality) is at work in our spirits now. We can use this "on-diability" to combat cancer, diabetes, and lack, as these are expressions of mortality and decay. The Witness of the Spirit: Even though we did not see the empty tomb physically, the Holy Spirit reveals the truth of the resurrection to our hearts, creating a transformation more powerful than physical sight. Core Message: "Everything that is supposed to be the foundation of our faith and the foundation of our hope is already outlined in the Bible... our story has already been written."

TOPIC: BEHOLD YOUR JESUS – OUR SAVIOUR AND REDEEMER Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Matthew 21:9 (Hosanna – Save us now) John 1:29 (The Lamb of God) Isaiah 53:5 John 19:30 Luke 22:19 Matthew 26:14–16 KEY POINTS 1. Jesus the Messiah – The Saviour Has Come The celebration of Jesus was a sign that He is the Messiah. “Hosanna” means Save us now. Jesus came to give: Peace Salvation Restoration Jesus came for: Deliverance from sin Eternal restoration Transformation of the soul Jesus is the Saviour of our souls. 2. The Finished Work of Salvation Jesus paid the full price for our redemption. We do not need to pay again. 📖 John 19:30 — “It is finished.” Because of His sacrifice: We can claim everything salvation provides We have access to grace, freedom, and new life 3. Jesus the Lamb (Sacrifice) Jesus is the Lamb of God. The Lamb represents: Sacrifice Vulnerability Divine selection 📖 John 1:29 Jesus was chosen by God to be sacrificed for humanity. 4. The Breaking of His Body The breaking of Jesus’ body was for our sake. 📖 Luke 22:19 His suffering brought: Healing Redemption Restoration 5. The Danger of Betrayal Wherever betrayal is present, Satan is involved. Judas is often blamed, but many believers also betray Jesus through: Wrong choices Compromise Personal gain Betrayal causes a person to lose spiritual quality and integrity. 6. The Call to Spiritual Persistence Sometimes one prayer is not enough. You must continue praying persistently. Breakthrough requires: Consistency Endurance Spiritual hunger CONCLUSION Jesus is the Messiah who came to save, restore, and transform lives. He paid the full price, so we can live in freedom and victory. However: We must guard against betrayal We must remain committed to Him We must persist in prayer Salvation is free, but sustaining your walk with God requires commitment.

TOPIC: POWER FOR DESTINY FULFILLMENT Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa INTRODUCTION There is a difference between activity and accuracy. Life is not about just doing something.It is about knowing what to do and having the power to execute it. Destiny is not guaranteed when power is not at play. WHAT IS POWER? Power is best explained through experience.Until power is in expression, destiny cannot be guaranteed. 📖 Acts 10:38 “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power…” Even Jesus needed power to fulfill destiny. MANDATE AND MANTLE As a man with a mandate, you need a mantle. A mandate without power is frustration.A calling without empowerment leads to struggle. WHAT POWER DOES Power is a force that: Controls a generation Causes systems to submit Establishes authority Enforces destiny If you are not empowered, you will be controlled by others. When people are empowered: They become rebellious to negativity They refuse oppression They resist limitation THE DANGER OF POWERLESSNESS Having a good heart without power is useless. Having nobility without empowerment is still useless. 📖 Acts 1:8 “You shall receive power…” Christianity without power is theory. THE SOURCE OF POWER Men of prayer are men of power. Power flows from: Prayer The Holy Spirit Spiritual alignment Intimacy with God KEY TRUTH Destiny is not fulfilled by wishes.Destiny is fulfilled by power. You don’t fulfill destiny by emotion.You fulfill destiny by empowerment.

THE ISSACHAR ANOINTING Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa 📖 1 Chronicles 12:32 “And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do…” WHO WERE THE SONS OF ISSACHAR? The sons of Issachar were: Men of understanding Men who knew the times and seasons Men who knew what Israel ought to do They did not just know the time —They knew the correct action for the season. WHAT IS THE ISSACHAR ANOINTING? The Issachar anointing is: The grace to discern times and seasons Insight into what must be done per season Spiritual intelligence for your generation The ability to interpret what God is doing now It gives men: Direction Counsel Strategy Alignment ACCESSING THE ISSACHAR ANOINTING Do not compare yourself to others The sons of Issachar had knowledge and counsel for their generation.They were not warriors like others — but they were strategic. Don’t measure yourself by how others are performing.Focus on your assignment. Pray for discernment and alignment Ask God for: Understanding Spiritual sensitivity Alignment with His agenda Discernment is knowing:👉 What God is doing in your generation👉 What He expects from you in this season KEY TRUTH Many people fail not because they lack strength —They fail because they lack understanding of their season. When you know your season: You don’t force things. You don’t compete wrongly. You move with precision.

THIS GOSPEL [FRUITFULNESS] Tuesday Teaching and Miracle Service Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa 📖 Genesis 1:28 WHAT IS FRUITFULNESS? The word fruit comes from the Greek word “Karpos” (often spelled Kapos in notes), meaning: The result of life in a living organism The visible evidence of vitality Fruit is proof that you matter.Fruit defines your existence. When you refuse to produce fruit, extinction begins. God wants us to do well in the area of fruitfulness. KEY TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE AND FAITH Sympathy never changes lives. Faith changes circumstances. If something happens to you, the solution is in you.📖 1 Corinthians 10:13 WHAT IS TRUE FRUIT? True fruit is contained in souls. True fruit is: The product of the gospel The produce of the gospel Lives translated from death to life 📖 Mark 16:15📖 Matthew 24:14📖 Romans 1:16 The gospel is: The power of God The wisdom of God📖 1 Corinthians 1:18 The gospel is God’s message to men that brings salvation. GOD SAVES MEN THROUGH MEN God does not save men by angels.He saves men by men. 📖 2 Corinthians 5:18–19📖 Matthew 28:19📖 Acts 1:8 There must be a message in your mouth.📖 Matthew 24:14 WARNING: THE DANGER OF UNFRUITFULNESS If you are not fruitful in soul winning, you are jeopardizing your future. Souls are valuable. The devil fears the gospel — therefore he brings distractions. Distraction is one of Satan’s most effective weapons. Satan is aggressive against the gospel because:The gospel is the power that destroys his kingdom. THREE ILLUSTRATIONS ABOUT THE GOSPEL A gospel kept in the church is power being wasted. A seed kept in the bank does not grow. Fire that stays in one place eventually dies. The gospel is fire — if it does not spread, it weakens. WHAT MAKES THE GOSPEL EFFECTIVE? Spiritual power activated by prayer and the Word. Communal love — unity and fellowship. Population — growth through evangelism. Seven Non-Negotiable Reasons Every Christian Must Preach the Gospel 1. Jesus Himself is a Soul Winner 📖 Luke 19:10📖 1 Timothy 1:15 2. The Harvest is Great 📖 Luke 10:2📖 Luke 9:1–2 3. The Labourers Are Few Everyone who believes must labor with Him. 4. The Great Commission 📖 Mark 16:15📖 Matthew 28:19 5. Because of Unfulfilled Prophecy Concerning His Return 📖 Ezekiel 33:6–8 6. Because Jesus is Alive and Working There is no miracle without the gospel. CONCLUSION Fruitfulness is not optional — it is a command.📖 Genesis 1:28 The proof of life is fruit.The proof of Christianity is souls. If the gospel is in you, it must move through you.

THE CONCEPT OF DOMINION 📖 Genesis 1:26–28 Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer OkronipaDate: 31/01/2025 WHAT IS DOMINION? Dominion comes from the Hebrew word Radah. Radah means to rule, reign, govern, tread down, or exercise authority. Dominion is the reason for the creation of man. Dominion is over the works of creation, not to lord over men. Dominion means to be in control and influence your world. It means ruling over death, poverty, and economic hardship — they are meant to be subject to you. Dominion is choosing to be a prevailing force wherever you are. In simple terms, dominion means influencing your world. 📖 Exodus 9:1 — Israel exercised dominion.📖 Genesis 31:1 — Dominion is supernatural increase and takeover by God’s power. GOD’S INTENTION FOR DOMINION God desires that His people dominate and expand their sphere in every area. Dominion means increase in influence, authority, and impact. The presence of God must never be taken for granted — dominion flows from His presence.   OPPOSITIONS OF DOMINION Satan and the forces of darkness Ignorance, half-truths, and wrong doctrines Family systems The flesh INSTRUMENTS FOR DOMINION The Image of God The Likeness of God The Presence of God The Life of God Speaking over your life📖 2 Corinthians 4:13 — God calls things that be not as though they were You receive dominion by calling it Covenant practices📖 Luke 6:38 Covenant practices of tokens and signs📖 Acts 19:12 Staying connected to your prophet📖 Hosea 12:13

TOPIC: The Power of Praise and Thanksgiving Praise and Thanksgiving Is a Weapon Praise is not just music — it is spiritual warfare. Thanksgiving changes atmospheres and situations. When believers praise, God moves. 📖 2 Chronicles 20 — When Judah praised, God fought their enemies.📖 Acts 16:26 — Paul and Silas praised, and prison doors opened. What Praise and Thanksgiving Can Do Releases God’s power into situations Breaks yokes and limitations Invites divine intervention Brings supernatural breakthroughs Changes sorrow into joy Praise is powerful because God dwells in praise. Benefits of Praise and Thanksgiving 1. Praise and Thanksgiving Is the Will of God God desires gratitude, not complaining. 📖 1 Thessalonians 5:18 — “In everything give thanks…” 2. Praise and Thanksgiving Brings Multiplication Whatever you thank God for increases. 📖 Jeremiah 30:19Out of them shall proceed thanksgiving,and I will multiply them. Thanksgiving → MultiplicationComplaining → Reduction 3. Praise and Thanksgiving Brings Honour Those who thank God are lifted. 📖 Jeremiah 30:19“And they shall not be few… and I will glorify them.” Thanksgiving leads to: Honour Increase Elevation Power Demonstrations of Praise in Scripture 📖 2 Chronicles 20 They praised God set ambushes Victory came without fighting 📖 Acts 16:26 Paul and Silas praised in prison Doors opened Chains fell Supernatural release happened CONCLUSION Praise and thanksgiving are not optional —they are weapons, keys to multiplication, and paths to honour. When you: praise instead of complain, and thank God instead of murmuring, you invite God’s power to work in your life.

TOPIC: 6 Ways of Appreciating God  Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Psalm 92:1–5Psalm 116:12Luke 17:17–18 KEY THOUGHTS Thanksgiving is the believer’s response to God’s goodness. Appreciation is recognizing the full worth of God and valuing what He has done. Ingratitude blocks blessings; thanksgiving multiplies them. 6 WAYS TO APPRECIATE GOD 1. Thanksgiving Prayers Speak appreciative words to God. Thank Him intentionally and personally. Don’t assume gratitude — express it in prayer. 2. Share Your Testimonies 📖 Luke 17:17–18 — “Where are the other nine?” Be someone who returns to tell what God has done. Thank Him one by one for every blessing. Testimony is an act of appreciation. 3. Using Songs and Psalms Worship and praise songs express gratitude. Sing of His goodness, mercy, and faithfulness. Psalms are tools for thanksgiving. 4. With a Dance Dance is a prophetic act of joy and gratitude. Thanksgiving is not silent — it is expressive. 5. With Instruments Musical instruments are tools of thanksgiving. They celebrate God’s greatness and goodness. 6. With a Thanksgiving Offering Giving is a strong expression of appreciation. Offerings communicate value and honour to God. Thanksgiving is incomplete without giving. CONCLUSION Thanksgiving is not just a day — it is a lifestyle.When believers pray thankfully, testify, sing, dance, play instruments, and give, they honor God and attract greater blessings. Those who appreciate well experience perfection and increase.

TOPIC: PROVOKING FEARFUL FAVOUR FOR A GLORIOUS FUTURE PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Genesis 1:1Judges 6:12, 17Genesis 13:1–2Malachi 1:9Philemon 1:6Proverbs 3:4Proverbs 13:15 KEY POINTS 1. Preparation Is the Mother of Success Nothing happens by accident in the Kingdom of God. Preparation positions a person for favor. 2. Understanding Favor Favor beautifies life and gives it meaning. Favor is the spice of life — it adds value and attractiveness. The strength of men cannot bring lasting victory; favor does. When a man is favored, his life becomes constructed, not scattered. 📖 Judges 6:12, 17 Favor is a constructor of destiny. 3. Types of Favor Common Favor — general goodwill. Fearful Favor — supernatural favor that makes enemies fear you. Fearful favor announces a man’s destiny before he arrives. 📖 Genesis 13:1–2 Abraham’s increase was evidence of fearful favor. 4. Favor Is the Master Key to Fulfillment Many struggle not because they are weak, but because they lack favor. Fulfillment responds to favor, not effort alone. 5. Consciousness Activates Favor 📖 Malachi 1:9 Grace must be acknowledged to be manifested. Without favor-consciousness, favor remains dormant. 📖 Philemon 1:6 The communication of your faith becomes effective when you acknowledge what God has placed in you. HOW TO PROVOKE FAVOR 1. Change Your Mindset (Build Favor Consciousness) Declare: “I am the favored of the Lord.” What you believe determines what you experience. 2. Get Understanding Through Study 📖 Proverbs 3:4; Proverbs 13:15 Favor follows understanding. Ignorance limits grace. 3. Engage in Fasting and Prayer Fasting and prayer sharpen spiritual sensitivity. Favor responds to spiritual alignment. 4. Follow Those Who Are Favored Who you follow determines what follows you. Follow people who are going where you are going. 5. Connect to the Grace of Your Prophet Fathers give feathers for sons to fly far. Certain results only come through prophetic connection. Engage in prophetic covenant relationships.📖 Esther and Mordecai 6. Be a Kingdom Promoter God favors those who advance His Kingdom. Service attracts favor. 7. Live a Lifestyle of Thanksgiving Thanksgiving sustains favor. Gratitude keeps doors open. CONCLUSION Favor is not accidental — it is provoked.When you prepare, build favor-consciousness, connect to grace, follow rightly, serve God, and walk in thanksgiving, favor becomes inevitable. Favor is the force that constructs destiny and ushers believers into fulfillment.

The Meaning of Appreciation Appreciation means recognizing the full worth of God. It is valuing God for who He is and for what He has done. Thanksgiving shows a deep understanding of God’s works and goodness. It is giving glory to God intentionally and consciously. 9. Biblical Example: The Grateful Leper 📖 Luke 17:12–19 Ten were healed, but one returned to give thanks. The thankful one was made whole — perfection followed appreciation. CONCLUSION Appreciation is a spiritual force that brings completion and wholeness.When believers cultivate a lifestyle of thanksgiving, they engage grace, activate mercy, and position themselves for divine perfection.

Every believer is a steward of something — time, talent, money, opportunity, or responsibility. 2. Be Steadfast and Unmovable 📖 1 Corinthians 15:58 Faithfulness demands steadiness. Promotion does not come to those who are unstable, easily discouraged, or inconsistent. Being steadfast means remaining committed even when results are not immediate. 3.

Faithfulness Is a Measure in Heaven Heaven evaluates men by faithfulness, not activity.📖 2 Timothy 2:2, Matthew 25 Many will weep in eternity when they realize what could have been, but was not, because they were not faithful.

THE REWARD OF HONOURING YOUR PROPHET Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Matthew 10:41Galatians 6:6–72 Chronicles 20:20Isaiah 44:3 KEY POINTS 1. Understanding the Office of a Prophet A Prophet Carries Two Dimensions A Sword — for correction, judgment, and spiritual alignment. A Reward — grace, blessings, favour, and supernatural advantage. A prophet is a messenger of God, carrying the Word, voice, and intentions of God to a people. Every Prophet Has a Spiritual Distribution Every prophet carries a unique distribution of the Spirit given by God. No prophet is empty — each one is a carrier of something that God wants to give His people. Every Prophet Has a Reward 📖 Matthew 10:41 Jesus taught that the “prophet’s reward” becomes available only when honour is shown. Honour unlocks what the prophet carries. 2. Honour Is the Access Point to Prophetic Grace Things begin to happen when you learn how to provide honour. Honour is not about personality — it is about recognizing the grace of God on the prophet. To dishonour a prophet is to disconnect from divine help. 📖 Galatians 6:6–7 Whatever you sow into a prophetic relationship produces a harvest. Honour is a seed; the prophet’s reward is the harvest. 3. HOW TO CONNECT TO THE PROPHET’S REWARD 1. Identify the Carrier of the Grace 📖 Matthew 10:41 You cannot receive from a man whose grace you do not identify. Recognition is the first step to impartation. 2. Receive the Person of the Prophet 📖 2 Chronicles 20:20 Believe in the Lord → be established. Believe His prophet → prosper. To "receive" the prophet means: Desire connection Honour him genuinely Value the grace on his life Love and esteem the anointing he carries 👉 The prophet you cannot honour cannot bless you. 3. Crave the Grace Upon the Prophet 📖 Isaiah 44:3 Hunger determines impartation. When you crave the oil your prophet carries, you position yourself for the outpouring. THE REWARDS OF HONOURING YOUR PROPHET 1. Access to the Prophet's Reward 📖 Matthew 10:41 You receive the grace, wisdom, covering, and results upon the prophet’s life. 2. Supernatural Prosperity 📖 2 Chronicles 20:20 Honour unlocks divine prosperity, open doors, and breakthroughs. 3. Impartation of Grace 📖 Isaiah 44:3 The spiritual deposits on the prophet begin to flow into your life. 4. Divine Protection and Covering The prophet’s covering shields you from attacks and misdirection. 5. Acceleration and Speed Honour multiplies results, shortens processes, and brings supernatural speed. 6. Favour and Open Doors Honour triggers favour with God and man because grace is activated. 7. Access to Divine Secrets and Direction Prophetic honour gives you access to counsel, spiritual clarity, and divine instructions. 8. Unusual Miracles and Encounters The anointing you honour becomes the anointing that works for you. CONCLUSION Honour is the key that unlocks the prophet’s blessing.Your prophet is God’s ordained channel of grace, impartation, and direction. To honour your prophet is to secure:✔ supernatural lifting✔ divine prosperity✔ impartation of grace✔ prophetic covering✔ unusual breakthroughs The anointing you honour is the anointing that blesses you.The anointing you dishonour cannot lift you.

TOPIC: THE KINGDOM MYSTERY OF HONOUR PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Proverbs 3:9–10Ephesians 6:1–31 Timothy 5:17Acts 28:4Matthew 10:40–41 KEY POINTS 1. Honour Determines the Flow of Blessings In the house of God, everything flows in the direction of honour. Where honour is present, grace flows; where dishonour exists, grace is blocked. 2. Double Honour — God’s Order for Spiritual Leadership 📖 1 Timothy 5:17 Those who labour spiritually, feed you, bless you, and cover you are worthy of double honour. Honour is not flattery; it is value, recognition, and right posture. 3. Prophets Carry Two Dimensions A Prophet carries: A Blessing A Dagger (Judgment) 👉 What you receive depends entirely on how you approach the anointing.The same anointing that lifts some can judge others — the heart determines the outcome. 4. People You Must Honour Spiritual Parents & Their Family Your spiritual father is a covenant channel for impartation and preservation. Biological Parents Honour guarantees longevity (Eph. 6:1–3). Husbands & Wives Wives honour your husbands; husbands honour your wives with understanding (1 Pet. 3:7). If you play with honour, you lose access to favour, help, and grace. BENEFITS OF HONOUR 1. Honour Opens the Flow of Blessings 📖 Proverbs 3:9–10 Honour provokes divine provision, overflow, and supernatural supply. 2. Honour Gives Access to the Prophet’s Reward 📖 Matthew 10:40–41 When you honour a prophet, you partake of the prophet’s:✔ grace✔ favour✔ revelation✔ covering✔ breakthroughs 3. Honour Secures Long Life & Well-Being 📖 Ephesians 6:1–3 Honour extends life and brings peace, stability, and favour. 4. Honour Opens Doors That Hard Work Alone Cannot Open Some doors respond only to honour, not to effort. 5. Honour Protects You From Spiritual Judgement Dishonour attracts negative spiritual consequences. Honour positions you under mercy, not judgment. 6. Honour Provokes Divine Remembrance 📖 Acts 10:4 Honour makes your giving and service rise as a memorial before God. 7. Honour Makes the Anointing Work for You The grace upon your spiritual father begins to produce:✔ speed✔ breakthroughs✔ protection✔ favour✔ unusual results 8. Honour Preserves Relationships Honour strengthens families, marriages, and leadership systems. HOW TO SHOW HONOUR 1. Recognition Honour begins with the right thought and right perception.📖 Acts 28:4 You cannot receive from a man you dishonour in your mind. 2. Reception 📖 Matthew 10:40 Receiving a prophet positions you for the prophet’s reward. 3. Rewarding Honour is also expressed through:✔ support✔ service✔ giving✔ responsible actions You cannot claim honour where there is no sacrifice. CONCLUSION Honour is a spiritual law, not a suggestion.The anointing you honour blesses you; the anointing you dishonour cannot lift you. Prophets carry both a blessing and a dagger.Your posture determines your portion. When you honour your spiritual father you step into supernatural favour, and unusual breakthroughs.

COVENANT KEYS FOR FINANCIAL DOMINION Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Deuteronomy 8:18Genesis 26:3–5Galatians 3:8–9Jeremiah 33:20–21Malachi 3:6Genesis 8:20–22Luke 6:38 KEY POINTS 1. Understanding the Covenant of Financial Dominion Financial prosperity is not a promise; it is a covenant. God’s covenant is unbreakable — as long as day and night remain, His covenant stands (Jer. 33:20–21). Christianity operates by principles, and these principles cannot be violated. 2. God Empowers His People for Wealth 📖 Deut. 8:18 — It is God who gives power to get wealth. God empowered Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob through covenant (Gen. 26:3–5). Through Christ, we are covenant heirs of Abraham (Gal. 3:8–9). 3. Seed-Time and Harvest Is the Foundation for Financial Dominion 📖 Genesis 8:20–22 — As long as the earth remains, seed-time and harvest will never cease. This is the law that governs unusual and consistent prosperity. What you sow is exactly what you reap — financial dominion responds to the law of seed. 4. There Are Blessings and There Are Uncommon Blessings God releases general blessings, but He also releases uncommon graces to His covenant people. Until you understand and obey the laws, you cannot walk in abundance. 5. The Covenant Practices That Enforce Financial Dominion Do not play with your covenant obligations: Tithes First Fruits Prophet’s Seed Partnerships Sacrificial Seeds Giving to the poor Offerings 📖 Luke 6:38 — Your giving determines your receiving. 6. Give From Your Heart God does not bless empty rituals — He blesses sincere giving. Giving must be done with love, faith, and honour. CONCLUSION Financial dominion is a covenant reality, activated through obedience to God’s principles.When you honour the laws of seed, covenant giving, and faithful obedience, you secure access to uncommon blessings, supernatural provision, and consistent financial empowerment.

TOPIC: Ending Financial Hardship PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Psalm 119:98, 104Philippians 4:19Genesis 22Genesis 3:19Isaiah 5:13Proverbs 10:4 KEY POINTS 1. Understanding Is Needed to Move Through Life Successfully 📖 Psalm 119:98, 104 Without understanding, life becomes a struggle. Many struggles on earth persist because people lack spiritual and practical understanding. 2. God Can Supply All Your Needs 📖 Philippians 4:19 God revealed Himself to Abraham as El-Shaddai, the All-Sufficient God. Genesis 22 shows that God is a giver and supernatural provider. Every believer must believe that God is able and willing to take care of them. 3. Causes of Financial Hardship A. Ignorance 📖 Isaiah 5:13 The greatest issue of most Christians is ignorance. You must ask yourself: What can I do? What do I have in my hands? What value can I produce? There is something unique in you that can produce results — discover it. Types of knowledge needed: Knowledge of God Knowledge of the Word of God Knowledge on Finances B. Laziness 📖 Proverbs 10:4 — “The slack man turns to poverty.” Laziness is a major enemy of financial prosperity. C. Pride Pride shuts doors and prevents access to help, favour, and wisdom. D. Curses Negative family patterns, spoken words, or spiritual barriers can hinder prosperity. E. Wrong Mentalities Nomadic Mentality — a life with no aim, plan, or direction. Consumer Mentality — always spending, never producing. Choose to be a producer, not just a consumer. Materialistic Mentality — when money is the only focus. Wrong thinking produces wrong outcomes. 4. Vehicles of Financial Flow A. Spiritual Vehicles (Covenant Principles) These are embedded in Scripture and form the backbone of supernatural financial flow: First Fruits Tithing Prophet’s Seed Parental Honour Giving to the Poor & Needy Sacrificial Seeds These are the spiritual systems God uses to lift believers out of hardship. B. Physical Vehicles (Practical Channels of Income) Paid Employment Inheritance Money Market Instruments Do not waste money — invest in profitable financial instruments. CONCLUSION Financial hardship ends when ignorance is broken, wrong mentalities are corrected, and believers commit to both spiritual covenant principles and practical financial discipline.As you honour God’s systems and apply wisdom, your financial destiny shifts out of struggle into abundance.

FAITH FOR MATERIAL & FINANCIAL PROVISION (PART 2) Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa INTRODUCTION Faith is required not only for salvation or spiritual growth — faith is needed for material supply, daily survival, and financial victories.God operates strictly by faith, and everything done outside of faith is unacceptable to Him. Even when a person has money physically, a believer must still engage faith — because faith is the master key to supernatural provision. KEY TRUTHS FROM PART 1 (FOUNDATION RECAP) 📌 We are seed of Abraham, therefore provision is covenant-based.📌 God is Jehovah Jireh — The God Who Sees and Provides.📌 God has a track record of supernatural supply— manna in the wilderness, coin in the fish, multiplication of bread.📌 He is an unchanging God of abundance. These truths form the foundation upon which faith for supply is built. HOW TO CONNECT YOUR FAITH FOR SUPERNATURAL SUPPLY 1. Do Not Worry 📖 Matthew 6:25–34Worry destroys faith and blocks divine supply.A fearful heart cannot receive from God. 2. Believe in God's Supernatural Ability to Provide 📖 Deuteronomy 28:12Heaven’s treasury never runs dry.God can supply beyond salary, business, or economic conditions. 3. Maintain a Close Walk With God 📖 Genesis 39:2–3, Psalm 34:8–10Provision flows through intimacy with God.Holiness attracts prosperity. 4. Follow Divine Direction & Instruction 📖 Isaiah 48:17–21, Psalm 23:1Every blessing carries a divine instruction.Where God leads, supply follows. 5. Be Diligent in Your Work 📖 Psalm 1:1–3, Proverbs 10:4Faith does not replace work — faith powers work into productivity. For every labour, there is profit. 6. Confess and Speak Abundance 📖 Numbers 14:28, Mark 11:23, Proverbs 18:21Your mouth is your financial gateway.You cannot speak lack and expect increase. 7. Practice Seed-Time and Harvest 📖 Genesis 8:22, Luke 6:38, Luke 18:12Giving activates the covenant of provision. "It is better to owe your problem than to owe God." CONCLUSION God desires to supply His children, but supply responds to faith, obedience, diligence, confession, and covenant practice.As we walk closely with God and apply these principles, we position ourselves for supernatural financial and material abundance.

FAITH FOR MATERIAL AND FINANCIAL PROVISION Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa INTRODUCTION Faith is needed for our daily living. Faith is the master key to a triumphant life. Faith is the atmosphere of God — the realm in which He operates. God does not honor anything except by faith. Anything done outside of faith is unacceptable to God. God desires to supply all your needs. Even if you have money physically, spiritual transactions still require faith (e.g., buying a car by faith). UNDERSTANDING THE LIFE OF FAITH 1. We Are the Seed of Abraham By redemption, we are connected to Abraham’s covenant blessings. 📖 Genesis 17:1–7 — God’s covenant with Abraham flows to his spiritual seed. Therefore, the covenant of provision belongs to us. 2. You Must See God as a God of Abundance 📖 Hebrews 13:8 — God never changes. If He provided before, He will provide again. UNDERSTANDING THE SOURCE OF OUR PROVISION Jehovah Jireh — Genesis 22:14 Jehovah Jireh reveals two powerful truths: God sees your need and makes provision ahead of time. God provides miraculously — supernatural supply. 📖 Isaiah 65:24 — Before you call, He answers. God Is the Source — The Rock 📖 1 Corinthians 10:1–4 We must trust in “the God of supply.” He is the unending source that never runs dry. TRACK RECORD OF GOD’S SUPPLY God has a proven history of supernatural provision: Manna for 3 million people for 40 years 📖 Psalm 78:25 Provision for the widow of Zarephath 📖 1 Kings 17:8–16 — It will not finish. Coin in the fish’s mouth 📖 Matthew 17:27 Feeding of the 5,000 📖 John 6:11 📖 Hebrews 11:2 — The elders obtained a good report through faith. HOW TO CONNECT YOUR FAITH TO SUPERNATURAL SUPPLY 1.

Believe in God’s Supernatural Ability to Provide Heaven has divine storehouses. 📖 Deuteronomy 28:12 3. Maintain a Close Walk With God Relationship with God attracts provision. Holiness leads to prosperity. 📖 Genesis 39:2–3 — The Lord was with Joseph. 📖 Psalm 34:8–10 4. Follow Divine Direction & Obey Instructions Every blessing from God carries a specific instruction. 📖 Isaiah 48:17–21 📖 Psalm 23:1 — The Lord leads; provision follows. 5. Be Diligent in Your Work The covenant provides for diligent workers. 📖 Psalm 1:1–3 📖 Proverbs 10:4 — Hard work leads to profit. “For every labor, there is profit.” 6. Confess, Decree, and Speak Abundance What you speak determines what you experience. 📖 Numbers 14:28 📖 Mark 11:23 📖 Proverbs 18:21 — If you don’t speak, you’re not expressing life. 7. Live by the Covenant Practice of Seedtime and Harvest The Abrahamic covenant is activated through giving. 📖 Genesis 8:22 📖 Luke 6:38 📖 Luke 18:12 “It is better to owe your problem than to owe God.” CONCLUSION God wants to supply all your needs, but it requires faith, obedience, diligence, and covenant practice.Faith is not just for spiritual matters — it is the key to material and financial provision.As you believe, speak, obey, and sow, you position yourself for supernatural supply.

TOPIC: Understanding Christian Fruitfulness — Part 4 PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES: Colossians 3:2Daniel 12:3Romans 12:9Romans 6:17Romans 12:10–11Job 1Luke 4:13John 14:30Proverbs 4:18Exodus 16:18Lamentations 3:22–232 Corinthians 4:16Ephesians 5:18Matthew 12:43–45Joshua 1:8Proverbs 13:20 KEY POINTS (PART 4) 1. A Christianity Without Fire Goes Downhill A believer without spiritual fire will decline in effectiveness. Fruitfulness cannot be sustained without spiritual fervency. 2. Fruitfulness in Time Determines Celebration in Eternity “To enjoy and to be celebrated in eternity, you need to be fruitful in time.” What you do now determines what you will enjoy later. Your earthly fruitfulness affects your eternal relevance. 3. Set Your Mind on the Right Things 📖 Colossians 3:2 Fruitfulness begins with a heavenly mindset. What occupies your mind shapes the fruit your life will produce. 📖 Daniel 12:3 Those who turn many to righteousness shine with eternal brightness. 4. Maintain Genuine Love and Spiritual Glow 📖 Romans 12:9 — Let your love be without hypocrisy.📖 Romans 6:17 — Hold fast to the doctrine you received.📖 Romans 12:10–11 — Serve the Lord with diligence and maintain spiritual fervor. Fruitfulness requires sincerity, consistency, and spiritual intensity. A believer must avoid fake service and maintain genuine passion for God. WHY YOU MUST MAINTAIN YOUR LOVE AND SPIRITUAL FERVOR 1. Satan Will Return 📖 Job 1; Luke 4:13; John 14:30 Even after seasons of victory, the enemy attempts to come back. Keeping your fire burning protects your fruitfulness. 2. There Are Higher Highs to Be Achieved 📖 Proverbs 4:18 Fruitfulness requires constant growth. You cannot reach higher levels of destiny without spiritual fire. 3. You Need New Grace Every Day 📖 Exodus 16:18; Lamentations 3:22–23; 2 Corinthians 4:16 Grace must be renewed daily. Yesterday’s fire cannot sustain today’s assignment. 4. Something Else Will Fill Your Heart 📖 Ephesians 5:18; Matthew 12:43–45 If you are not filled with the Spirit, something else will fill you. Emptiness leads to vulnerability and spiritual decline. 5. Spiritual Fervor Establishes God’s Gifts and Blessings 📖 Luke 22:39 Stability and consistency keep your gifts active. If you lose your fire, you lose your gifts. 6. Meditate on the Word 📖 Joshua 1:8 Fruitfulness comes through continuous meditation. Meditation fuels spiritual fire and growth. 7. Practice the Word You Learn Don’t only collect sermon notes — apply what you hear. Revelation without action produces no fruit. 8. Keep the Right Spiritual Environment 📖 Proverbs 13:20 Your environment influences your fire and your fruit. Wrong company kills zeal; right company increases spiritual glow. CONCLUSION  Fruitfulness requires fire. When a believer loses spiritual passion, they begin to lose their gifts, their strength, and their impact. To remain fruitful, you must keep your love alive, maintain your fervency, and renew your spiritual fire daily. Fruitfulness thrives in a burning heart. Fireless Christianity leads to fruitless Christianity.

TOPIC: Honor — A Master Key to the Life of Blessedness PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa THEME SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:1–2"Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise." KEY POINTS 1. Honor Is a Master Key to Blessedness Honor is a divine key that unlocks a life of blessedness. It positions a person to experience God’s favour, ease, and supernatural help. 2. General Blessings and Uncommon Blessings Some blessings are general and available to all. But uncommon and extraordinary blessings flow through honor. Honor determines how much blessing a person can access. 3. Honor Can Change Situations in Your Life Honor has the power to shift situations. It can turn difficulties around and open doors that were previously closed. Honor changes levels. 4. Who Are You Honoring? Who Are You Following? The direction of your life is connected to the people you honor. The grace on those you follow flows into your life. Honor determines impartation and influence. 5. There Is Grace That Comes From Honoring Honor releases grace — grace flows from those you choose to honor. Dishonor blocks blessings; honor attracts them. You rise by the grace you honor. 6. Honoring Makes Things Easier Honor brings ease, wellness, and longevity. This is why Ephesians 6:1–2 says honor carries the promise “that it may be well with you.” Honor reduces struggle and brings divine speed. CONCLUSION Honor is a spiritual law that shapes the destiny of every believer. It unlocks blessings, releases grace, and makes life easier. Your results are connected to who you honor and who you follow. Honor is truly a master key to a life of blessedness.

TOPIC: Activating Your Set Time PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES: Psalm 102:13 KEY POINTS 1. Activating Your Set Time Psalm 102:13 teaches that God has a set time to favour His people. You must learn to pray:“God, look at me and favour me.” 2. Every Human Has Two Times a. Natural Chronological Time This is the normal time we live by: Hours Days Weeks Months The 24-hour cycle The 365 days of the year This is ordinary, natural time. b. Set Times (Kairos Moments) Kairos is the God-appointed time for manifestation. When you miss your Kairos, you fail to achieve or actualize destiny. There is a Kairos moment in everybody’s life and ministry. 3. Entering Your Place of Achievement You need a push to enter your Kairos moment. That supernatural push is what moves you into the place of achievement. Without stepping into Kairos, destiny remains unfulfilled. CONCLUSION Every believer has a natural time and a divinely appointed set time. To enter your set time, you must cry out for God’s favour and allow Him to push you into your Kairos moment—the moment where achievement and destiny become reality.

The Fruit of Good Works — Colossians 1:10; Titus 3:8; Matthew 5:16 Good works reveal inward faith through outward actions. This fruit blesses other people and glorifies God. 6. The Fruit of Soul-Winning — Romans 1:13; Proverbs 11:30 Paul called his converts “fruit.” Every believer is expected to reproduce spiritually by winning souls. 7. The Fruit of Generosity — Philippians 4:17; 2 Corinthians 9:10 Giving is spiritual fruit credited to the believer’s account. Generosity reflects a heart of love, stewardship, and sacrifice. CONCLUSION (PART 2) Part 2 expands on what fruitfulness looks like in the Christian life.

TOPIC: Understanding Christian Fruitfulness — Part 1 PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES: John 15:1–8Jeremiah 3:15Matthew 25:14–30 KEY POINTS (PART 1) 1. Introduction to Christian Fruitfulness Fruitfulness is God’s expectation for every believer. God does not save us to remain barren or unproductive. Jesus introduces the foundation of fruitfulness in John 15:1, describing: Himself as the True Vine The Father as the Vine Dresser Believers as the branches The health and productivity of the branch depends entirely on its connection. 2. The Parable of the Talents — A Picture of Fruitfulness 📖 Matthew 25:14–30 Rev. Dr. Okronipa emphasized that this parable clearly shows God’s expectation for increase. Every servant was given something, and God expected them to produce results. Lessons from the parable: God gives resources, gifts, and opportunities to every believer. God expects multiplication—not stagnation. Failure to produce fruit is considered wickedness and laziness (Matt. 25:26). Fruitfulness is not a suggestion; it is a kingdom requirement. Fruit is the believer’s proof of faithfulness. 3. What Is “Fruit” in Scripture? Greek word: Karpos (καρπός) meaning: Result Outcome Advantage Profit “That which is produced by something within” Biblically, fruit is the visible expression of an invisible life—the outward manifestation of what the Holy Spirit is doing inside the believer. Fruitfulness is not outward activity; it is spiritual productivity that reflects Christ. 4. The Key to Fruitfulness: ABIDING Rev. Dr. Okronipa emphasized that fruitfulness is impossible without abiding. a. Abiding in Christ 📖 John 15:4–5 Christ is the source; without Him, the believer can do nothing. Abiding means: Staying connected to His Word Maintaining fellowship and obedience Living in dependency on His life A disconnected branch cannot produce fruit. b. Abiding in Church The church is the God-ordained environment for spiritual growth. Fruitfulness requires: Corporate fellowship Spiritual covering Consistent feeding Accountability A Christian cannot grow alone; growth happens in community. c. Abiding Under a God-Given Pastor 📖 Jeremiah 3:15 God assigns pastors to feed His people with knowledge and understanding. Pastoral ministry is part of God’s fruitfulness system. When a believer disconnects from their pastor, they disconnect from: Instruction Nourishment Guidance Spiritual stability You cannot produce fruit without the shepherd God has placed over your life. CONCLUSION (PART 1) Part 1 established the foundation of Christian fruitfulness: Fruitfulness is God’s expectation for every believer. Fruit is the visible evidence of Christ’s life in us. God demands increase, as shown in the parable of the talents. True fruitfulness comes only by abiding—in Christ, in the church, and under your God-given pastor. When the believer abides, fruit becomes natural, consistent, and undeniable.

TOPIC Four Forces That Oppose the Dominion Mandate PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Genesis 2:17Genesis 3:1–6Revelation 12:9Ephesians 6:12–14Hosea 4:6John 1:14–182 Corinthians 4:61 Corinthians 15:31 KEY POINTS Introduction From the beginning, God gave man dominion—the authority to rule and represent Him on earth. However, this dominion faces strong opposition from spiritual, mental, and fleshly forces that seek to weaken man’s authority. To maintain dominion, the believer must identify and overcome these opposing forces through truth, knowledge, and the Spirit. 1. Satan and the Forces of Darkness 📖 Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:1; Revelation 12:9; Ephesians 6:12–14 Satan is the first and primary opposition to the dominion mandate. Through deception, rebellion, and manipulation, he caused man to lose the purity of dominion in Eden. The serpent introduced doubt — “Has God indeed said…?” — leading Adam and Eve to question divine instruction. The enemy’s goal is always to make you disobey the Word and disconnect from divine authority. Dominion cannot stand where disobedience and compromise exist. Believers must stand firm in the truth and put on the whole armor of God to resist the schemes of darkness. 2. Ignorance, False Doctrine, and Half-Truths 📖 Genesis 3:4; Hosea 4:6; John 1:14–18; 2 Corinthians 4:6 Ignorance is a major enemy of dominion. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6) Half-truths are more dangerous than lies—they give the appearance of wisdom but lack the power of revelation. False doctrine blinds the mind and keeps believers from walking in full authority. Until a believer is full of truth, their dominion cannot be discharged. The revelation of Christ (the Word made flesh) brings light; and “when light comes, dominion begins.” True knowledge of the Word opens the eyes and restores the believer’s authority. 3. Family Systems  📖 Genesis 3:6; 1 Corinthians 15:33 Family systems can also oppose dominion when they promote patterns of sin, unbelief, or disobedience. Eve’s influence on Adam in the Garden reveals how wrong counsel and pressure from loved ones can lead to disobedience. Some believers lose dominion because they conform to family traditions that contradict God’s Word. The believer must rise above ungodly influences, break negative patterns, and establish a new order through obedience to God. Dominion requires spiritual independence and the courage to stand for truth, even against familiar systems. 4. The Flesh 📖 Genesis 3:6; Romans 8:5–8; Galatians 5:16–17 The flesh—man’s carnal nature—is an internal enemy to dominion. Eve saw that the fruit was “good for food and pleasant to the eyes,” showing how desire can override divine instruction. The flesh resists spiritual discipline and obedience. Dominion is impossible when the flesh is in control. To walk in authority, one must crucify the flesh daily and live by the Spirit. Self-control, humility, and submission to God’s Word are keys to sustained dominion. CONCLUSION Dominion is God’s gift to every believer, but it must be protected and enforced.The four forces that oppose dominion—Satanic influence, ignorance, family systems, and the flesh—must be overcome through knowledge, truth, and spiritual discipline. To walk in dominion: Stay rooted in the Word. Grow in revelation and truth. Guard your heart from deception and compromise. Live by the Spirit, not by the flesh. When truth fills your heart, dominion flows naturally.Defend your mandate, overcome opposition, and reign in Christ. 🦅

TOPIC The Wonderful Name of Jesus PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Philippians 2:10Isaiah 9:6bJohn 14:13–14Acts 3:6–16Mark 16:17–18 KEY POINTS 1. The Power in the Name of Jesus The name of Jesus carries supreme authority and power in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. Philippians 2:10 — “At the name of Jesus every knee should bow.” Every demon, sickness, and power submits to the authority of that Name. The name of Jesus is not an ordinary title—it is a spiritual weapon and the identity of divine authority. The believer’s victory is hidden in the revelation and use of that Name. 2. The Revelation of the Name It is not enough to merely mention the name of Jesus; one must have revelation of what the Name represents. Many speak the name without results because they lack the understanding of its power and meaning. The revelation of the Name gives the believer confidence and dominion in spiritual warfare. To know the Name is to understand who Jesus is—the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6b). When you act from revelation, the Name works with precision and power. 3. Using the Name with Revelation The name of Jesus can produce miracles when used in alignment with faith and revelation. Every believer has been authorized to use the Name in prayer, healing, and deliverance. John 14:13–14 — Jesus said, “Whatever you ask in My Name, that will I do.” The disciples demonstrated this truth when Peter declared, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” (Acts 3:6) Using the Name without revelation produces words; using it with revelation produces power. 4. The Effects of the Name The Name of Jesus: Heals the sick Drives out demons Restores peace and order Brings salvation and victory The name works for those who believe and understand their authority in Christ. Mark 16:17–18 — “In My name they shall cast out devils… they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” 5. Walking in the Revelation of His Name The believer must learn to live consciously aware of the authority of the Name. When faced with opposition, declare the Name in faith, not fear. Maintain an active revelation of who Jesus is—your life, power, and victory depend on it. The revelation of the Name will make you bold, fearless, and unstoppable. CONCLUSION The name of Jesus is the believer’s greatest weapon and highest authority.It is not the repetition of the Name that brings power, but the revelation behind it. When you understand who Jesus is and what His Name represents, you can speak it with faith and see miracles, deliverance, and transformation. Every knee still bows, and every power still yields to the Wonderful Name of Jesus.Walk in that revelation and let His Name work wonders in your life. ✨

TOPIC Becoming a Strong Christian Through Meditation PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Ephesians 6:10Joshua 1:8Psalm 1:1–3Psalm 119:97–100Psalm 119:1301 Chronicles 15:13Romans 12:2 KEY POINTS 1. The Call to Spiritual Strength “Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.” (Ephesians 6:10) Strength in the Lord is not physical—it comes from revelation, knowledge, and conviction. Truth means reality—factual, spiritual realities that produce tangible and consistent results. You must come to a point where no knowledge can change your mind about God. Prayer must be rooted in revelation; pray from the Word, not from fear or emotion. 2. Meditation — The Key to Spiritual Growth Meditation opens the spirit man to greater depths and heights in the Spirit. It promotes breakthrough power and spiritual understanding. Joshua 1:8 — success and prosperity come from continual meditation on God’s Word. Psalm 119:97–100 — wisdom and understanding are products of meditation. What you think about shapes who you are becoming; your thoughts define your reality. If you want to be successful, ask: “Which Word of God am I living by?” 3. The Way of Serving God There is a way to serve God and a pattern to find results. 1 Chronicles 15:13 — divine results come when things are done according to divine order. Meditation brings life and light out of the Scriptures. If the Word of God doesn’t give you stability, challenges will bring you down. Meditation lays God’s Word in your heart like blocks, building a foundation that cannot be shaken. 4. Understanding Meditation Meditation is pondering on God’s Word until answers come. Learn to picture the Scriptures as you read them; let them form images in your heart. Psalm 1:1–3 — the one who meditates day and night becomes like a tree planted by rivers of water. Until you change the way you think, even prosperity will reject you—your mindset determines your manifestation. 5. Benefits of Meditation It brings light (understanding). Psalm 119:130 — “The entrance of thy words giveth light.” Light produces clarity, wisdom, and insight. When you learn, you begin to earn the results you seek. It transforms your life and habits. Romans 12:2 — transformation begins with the renewal of the mind. Meditation changes thought patterns, attitudes, and behavior. It establishes faith and produces results. Meditation gets the Word deep into your spirit. Out of the spirit comes light and understanding, which produces faith. When faith is expressed, it brings miracles and results. 6. A Call to Spiritual Maturity When you are hungry, don’t only look for fish—learn how to fish. Don’t chase temporary miracles; pursue understanding that produces lasting results. A strong Christian is one whose life is built on the Word, revelation, and meditation. CONCLUSION Becoming a strong Christian requires more than prayer—it requires depth in the Word through meditation.Meditation makes the Word alive, stable, and effective in your spirit.It brings light, produces faith, and transforms your life from within. Learn to think, speak, and act from the revelation of God’s Word.For when your spirit is full of light, no darkness can overpower you. Meditate your way into strength, success, and victory in Christ. 💡✨

TOPIC FAITH FOR DOMINION| PEC 2025 GRAND FINALE PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Genesis 1:26Romans 5:17Joel 2:28–32Psalm 8:4–6Ephesians 2:6Luke 10:19 KEY POINTS 1. Dominion Is the Core of the Believer’s Identity Every believer was created with a mandate to rule, reign, and represent God on earth. Dominion is not optional—it is the believer’s original design and responsibility. “Your significance and value in life are tied to your dominion mandate.” Until a believer understands and walks in dominion, their full potential remains hidden. Dominion is about managing and influencing the world according to divine order. 2. The True Meaning of Dominion Dominion is not ownership—all things belong to God. Dominion is not control over people, but governance through love and stewardship. True dominion expresses itself through: Influence — shaping environments for God’s glory. Stewardship — managing divine resources faithfully. Capacity — developing strength to handle divine responsibility. Dominion is not about pride or power—it is about reflecting God’s character and authority in humility. 3. The Faith and Spirit of Dominion Dominion operates by faith—believing and acting on God’s Word with confidence. Faith gives believers the boldness to take charge and enforce divine promises. The Spirit of dominion empowers believers with wisdom, creativity, and authority. Poverty, fear, and limitation have no place in the dominion life. A believer walking in faith for dominion becomes a channel of divine influence and transformation. 4. Dominion Is About Effective Management Dominion is responsibility—faithfully handling what God has entrusted to you. Managing your time, gifts, finances, and opportunities determines your level of dominion. Poor management leads to loss of authority; wise management multiplies influence. Dominion is maintained through obedience, discipline, and excellence. 5. Dominion Is a Lifestyle of Faith Dominion must reflect in every sphere of life—family, business, ministry, and society. Faith for dominion is expressed through everyday obedience and persistence. God calls His people to live as ambassadors of His Kingdom in the earth. Dominion is not a moment—it’s a mindset, a culture, and a continuous walk of faith. CONCLUSION The Grand Finale of PEC 2025 was a prophetic celebration of faith and dominion in full display.Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa reminded believers that true dominion flows from faith in God’s Word, the Spirit’s power, and wise stewardship. Believers were charged to live beyond fear and limitation, walking boldly in their identity as kings and priests.Many left the convocation not just inspired but empowered to live by faith for dominion—ruling and reigning with Christ in every aspect of life. Faith is the key to dominion.Walk in it, live by it, and let the world see the Kingdom through you.

TOPIC The Revelation of “I AM” PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Exodus 3:13–14Philippians 4:19Psalm 23:1Numbers 23:19Acts 1:8Malachi 3:6John 8:58 KEY POINTS 1. The Meaning of “I AM” “I AM” reveals God’s eternal, self-existent nature — He has no beginning and no end. God is unchanging, constant in His nature, and dependable in all situations. The name “I AM” expresses God’s limitless sufficiency — He is everything His people will ever need. When God said, “I AM THAT I AM,” He declared Himself as the ever-present One who is always enough. 2. The Revelation of “I AM” The revelation of “I AM” is a revelation of identity and relationship. It reminds believers that God is not distant or abstract — He is personally involved in the lives of His children. “I AM” means: Whatever you need, I will be that to you. This revelation calls believers to walk in faith, confidence, and intimacy with God. 3. What “I AM” Represents God’s Divine Provision “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1) God provides for every need — physical, spiritual, emotional, and material. Philippians 4:19: “My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” God’s Divine Power God is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19). His power enables believers to live victoriously and witness boldly (Acts 1:8). The name “I AM” carries authority and power over every circumstance. God’s Divine Purpose Everything God does flows from His divine purpose. His identity as “I AM” aligns His people with destiny and direction. Understanding “I AM” helps believers to trust God’s process and timing. 4. The Impact of the Revelation The revelation of “I AM” stirs true worship and strengthens the believer’s faith. It brings peace and confidence, knowing that God is sufficient in every situation. It deepens intimacy with God, reminding us that He is present, powerful, and personal. There is no reason for fear or discouragement when “I AM” is with you.

TOPIC How to Provoke Miracles 2 [Things That Deny People of Their Miracles] PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Mark 6Mark 5:1–43Proverbs 4:5Romans 10:17Luke 1:452 Corinthians 4:13John 16:24John 3:1–2Luke 8:39Acts 10:382 Chronicles 20:20 KEY POINTS 1. Understanding Miracles Miracles are real and represent the manifestation of God’s power at work in human affairs. They are the outcome of the working of God’s Word, suspending or overriding natural and man-made laws. Miracles demonstrate that God’s power is superior to every limitation of nature or circumstance. 2. The Power of Teaching Teaching brings insight, understanding, instruction, and direction — all of which create an atmosphere for miracles. When faith is built through the Word, the supernatural becomes natural. 3. Why Miracles Are Needed To restore creation to its original order. To destroy the works of the devil and set people free. To bring joy and hope to many. To cause others to believe in God. To bring glory to God, revealing His love and presence among men. 4. How to Provoke Miracles By hearing God’s Word — faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17). By declaring God’s Word — your confession activates divine power. By taking action in faith — obedience releases results. By believing in the man of God — connecting to the anointing upon God’s servant brings manifestation (2 Chronicles 20:20). 5. Things That Deny People of Their Miracles Lack of faith — without faith, it is impossible to receive. Lack of knowledge — ignorance blocks access to the supernatural. Lack of application of faith — hearing alone is not enough; faith must be acted upon. Lack of aggression — spiritual passivity causes people to miss divine moments. Lack of consistency — many stop believing too soon. Being overly sensual or emotional — focusing on feelings instead of the Word. Failure to press through — miracles require persistence and determination. Examples: The woman with the issue of blood pressed through the crowd until she touched Jesus’ garment and was healed. Blind Bartimaeus refused to be silenced and received his sight. “You must train yourself that whenever you enter an atmosphere of miracles, if there’s only one miracle, it must be yours.” “There is help for everybody — but not everyone will access it.”Therefore, take your miracle by faith and by force. CONCLUSION Miracles are a vital part of the Christian life — a demonstration of God’s power, love, and faithfulness.Every believer can provoke a miracle through faith, action, and persistence. Do not allow doubt, fear, or inconsistency to rob you of what God has already made available.Like the woman with the issue of blood and Blind Bartimaeus, press through and take your miracle!

TOPIC The Dynamics of the Dominion Mandate PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Genesis 1:26–28Romans 8:19Ephesians 2:10Isaiah 60:1–3 KEY POINTS 1. The Dominion Mandate Is Our Identity The dominion mandate is not a prayer topic but a believer’s identity. Every child of God already carries divine power and capacity to influence and transform their environment. Dominion is not something to be requested; it is something to be walked in. God’s intention is for believers to rise and function from their position of divine authority. 2. The Dynamics of Dominion Operate Through Prophetic Action Dominion is activated through prayer, prophecy, and faith declarations. As believers pray and declare, destinies are realigned, mysteries are unveiled, and lives are transformed. The prophetic word unlocks divine realities and releases heaven’s authority on earth. The believer’s mouth is a tool of dominion—words carry power to create, shift, and establish. 3. Dominion Expresses God’s Creative Nature God is still releasing creative solutions through His people. Dominion includes the grace to innovate, build, and bring divine ideas to solve world problems. Believers are called to be partners with God in creation, manifesting wisdom and excellence in every field. “God is not out of ideas — He’s looking for willing vessels to birth divine innovations.” 4. Dominion Is a Continuous Journey Dominion is not passive or static; it requires spiritual growth and consistency. No matter one’s current level, God continues to call His people higher in grace, depth, and dominion. The more a believer yields to God, the more he operates in supernatural authority. True dominion is a life of ongoing ascent — from glory to glory. CONCLUSION Day 6 of PEC 2025 was a night of prophetic dominion and divine empowerment.Through worship, prayer, and prophecy, believers were reminded that they are born to rule and created to reign. Dominion is both identity and responsibility — to think like God, speak like God, and create solutions for the world. Dominion is not passive; it is prophetic, creative, and continuous.Rise and walk in your mandate — you are a carrier of dominion!

TOPIC The Concept of the Dominion Mandate — Rising as Eagles PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Genesis 1:26–30Psalm 8:1–9John 1:12–13Romans 12:1–2 KEY POINTS 1. The Dominion Mandate Man was created with a divine mandate to rule and have dominion over all creation. Dominion is the original purpose for which God made man. Every believer is designed to reign, rule, and silence the plans of the enemy. God programmed the course of man’s life from creation — we are meant to operate by divine order, not worldly systems. 2. Dominion Requires Action Dominion is not for the passive, but for those who are ready to rise and take charge. Believers must not live below their divine potential. “You cannot live like a chicken when you were created to soar like an eagle.” To dominate means to walk in authority, boldness, and purpose as sons of God. 3. The Identity of Man in God Man is made in the image and likeness of God, carrying His nature and authority. When a believer lives like the world, he loses the expression of his divine design. God’s Word reveals our true identity — it is the mirror that shows who man is in Christ. Likewise, man is called to reflect God’s nature — “Man is the mirror that reflects who God is.” 4. Living Out the Mandate To walk in dominion, believers must: Renew their minds through the Word (Romans 12:1–2). Live intentionally and purposefully. Walk in obedience and spiritual authority. Represent God accurately in character and power. The dominion mandate calls every believer to rise like an eagle, soaring above limitations and mediocrity. CONCLUSION The message is a divine reminder that believers were not created to crawl or walk but to soar.Dominion is our birthright, and God’s plan is for His children to live above fear, defeat, and worldly patterns. Every believer must rediscover their divine identity, reflect God’s image, and take their rightful place in destiny. Eagles don’t walk — they soar!

TOPIC: The Great Commission – Every Believer’s Mandate and Mission PREACHER : REV. DR. EBENEZER OKRONIPA SCRIPTURES Mark 16:14–20Matthew 28:16–20Hebrews 3:17–19Hebrews 11:1, 6Hebrews 10:382 Corinthians 5:7Romans 10:17 KEY POINTS The Great Commission The Great Commission represents Jesus’ final words before ascending into heaven. It is a divine command, a kingdom mandate, and a spiritual charge to every disciple. It carries the greatest task ever given to mankind — the salvation of the world through the gospel. The final words of Jesus reveal what is most important to God: souls. 1. The Rebuke for Unbelief Jesus rebuked His disciples for unbelief and hardness of heart. Unbelief disqualifies men from divine usefulness. Faith is the foundation for every divine assignment — the just shall live by faith. Without faith, we cannot please God or fulfill His calling. Faith in the Word and Power of God is essential. Build faith through Scripture and the consistent hearing of the Word (Romans 10:17). 2. The Command of the Commission Jesus commands: “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” The instruction implies: Intentionality: Christianity is active — believers must go. Global Scope: Every nation, culture, and environment is part of the mission field. Specific Message: Preach the gospel, not opinions or traditions. Universal Target: The gospel is for everyone — no one is excluded. Every believer has a role — to go, send, pray, give, or support. The strength of a church is not in seating capacity but in sending capacity. 3. The Consequence of the Commission The gospel carries eternal consequences: Belief → Salvation Unbelief → Damnation Faith in Christ is the only door to eternal life. Baptism is an outward sign of inward transformation. Preaching the gospel is not optional — souls depend on it. 4. The Confirmation of the Commission The Great Commission is accompanied by divine power and manifestations. Four confirming signs of believers: Authority over demons — casting out devils in Jesus’ name. Heavenly language — speaking with new tongues. Supernatural protection — divine preservation in ministry. Healing power — laying hands on the sick for recovery. Every true gospel ministry must carry evidence of the supernatural. 5. The Continuation and Presence of Christ After Jesus ascended, the disciples went out preaching, and the Lord worked with them. Christ remains active on earth through His servants. The Great Commission is a divine partnership — believers act, and God performs. Miracles follow obedience; the going brings the glory. As we obey the commission, we experience the Great Accompaniment — His abiding presence. CONCLUSION The Great Commission is not a suggestion — it is a command to every believer.Heaven’s agenda is souls, and those aligned with that agenda walk in divine power and partnership. Our true reward for serving Christ is eternal, not earthly.The time to evangelize is now, not later — the harvest is ready. The Master still calls: “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel.”

The Holy Spirit embodies the very essence of God's life. Without His presence, there is no divine vitality. That’s why, at the moment of our new birth, He comes to dwell in us, so we may share in the reality of God's life.4. The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and flows into all who have been sanctified through faith, raising a new kind of people who are the integration of divinity and humanity, empowered to carry out heaven’s mandate and accomplish God’s will on earth.
