MFM Youth PHC (Region 5)

Gen 1 v. 28 tells us about how God has given us the mandate of creativity. In this generation, creativity is a must-have. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of creativity. Today we embark on a journey to explore how to access God's creativity within each of us. Just as a composer orchestrates a symphony or an artist paints a masterpiece, we are all called to tap into the wellspring of creativity that flows through our souls.

2024 is our Year of Productivity. Tune in as we receive guidance and instructions on making 2024 an unforgettable year for us!

Ephesians 4 v. 27 (NLT) tells us not to give the devil a foothold. It's a common saying that 'if you want eat with the devil, use a long spoon' but Pst. Chinedu admonishes us not to even be at the same table with him.

Join us as we learn about how deceptive the devil can be, using little, innocent gestures to set traps for God's people.

Mathew 10 v. 1 tells us about how Jesus gave His disciples power against unclean spirits. Deuteronomy 8 v. 18 clearly tells us that it is God that gives us power to get wealth. What exactly is Power?

This sermons enlightens us on power and how it can change the trajectory of our lives.

                     NOTE.

The secret to getting more is gratitude. The agenda of God can't be fulfilled without the participation of men and women. God is interested in your motives and intentions. God is interested in the reason behind the activity. The fact that the prayer point sounds nice does not mean it's valid. The characteristics of what God will use is depending on your heart.

On  Sunday, we wrapped up on the message titled "The Gifts of Men," in  which we addressed the relationships of men you should pray for and how  to maintain them.

Some of these relationships of men  are:

1. Defenders: They are the ones who always speak in your favour, in your defence. They risk their integrity for you.

2. Intercessors: They the ones designed to intercede on your behalf.

3. Coaches. In every department of your life you need coaches to coach you on principles that govern the areas of your life.

4. Gate Keepers: They are the keepers of your destiny.

HOW TO MAINTAIN THESE RELATIONSHIPS.
1. Integrity: Be honest with you dealings with people.

2. Loyalty: It has to do with reliability, debendability.

3. Submission: Sometimes you have to put your will aside to submit. Sometimes it's not easy.

4. Honour: There are certain people God bring into your life, you must learn to honour them. 

"IN THE LAW OF  TERRITORY; THE EARTH BELONGS TO MEN". On Sunday we were blessed by the  pastor's ministration, talking about "The Gifts of Men" .
