The Saved & Mammon – Faithfulness in Earthly Wealth
The Saved & Mammon – Faithfulness in Earthly Wealth.We were reminded that faith doesn’t excuse irresponsibility. God calls us to be both spiritual and sensible — prayerful yet productive.If you keep holding on to God’s Word without seeing results, you may be violating His principles. Grace doesn’t cancel diligence; it empowers it.Here are some key points from the sermon:📌 Heaven is assured, but everything else requires stewardship.(Proverbs 24:3–6)Success, progress, and prosperity don’t happen automatically — they respond to wisdom and discipline.📌 God created us as His representatives on earth.(Genesis 2:15)Depending on God for everything without taking responsibility may look spiritual, but it’s actually irresponsible. Faith is not passivity; it’s partnership with God.📌 Miracles were never designed to replace principles.They are divine interventions, not shortcuts to avoid hard work or consistency. True faith applies wisdom daily.📌 It’s not God or science — God works through science.He is the Creator of systems, knowledge, and discovery. Faith and intelligence were never meant to be opposites.📌 90% of life’s problems are solved by principles, not miracles.Pray fervently, but also study, plan, and work diligently. Prophetic advantage gives you foresight — wisdom to discern times and seasons. (1 Chronicles 12:32)📌 Master money, don’t serve it.(Proverbs 21:20)Plan for the future, save diligently, and resist the urge to show off. Having money doesn’t mean you can afford everything. Choose to be rich, not look rich.📌 Have a healthy caution towards wealth.(Proverbs 23:5)Even when planning, remember that not everything will go as planned — wisdom prepares for setbacks and learns from them.✨ Faithfulness is stewardship.God blesses those who combine prayer with prudence, faith with foresight, and passion with principles.Walk in balance: pray hard, plan wisely, and work excellently.

Leave & Cleave - Remaining One Flesh With Your Spouse
Leave & Cleave - Remaining One Flesh With Your Spouse🌟We explored faith and prudence in the aspect of marriage. It was emphasised that both our spirit and mind must be actively engaged for us to make major life decisions. Here are some key points from the sermon; 📌 We have some heroes in the Bible who are known for their good works but had many flaws. Samson, for example, was a hero of faith but failed in certain areas of his life when he broke the instructions of consecration. Hebrews 11:32📌It is possible to be legitimately saved yet miserable in other aspects of life. However, we can deliberately decide to strike a balance in every area of our lives. 📌We should not be overly religious in dealing with life issues. We must observe certain patterns when making marital choices.🌟BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF MARITAL ERRORS👉 Isaac and Rebecca. There was open favouritism in their home, which affected their family. We must learn to love children equally. Genesis 25:28👉 Job and His Wife Sometimes, the devil targets homes without unity. Job’s wife advised him to give up and die during their trial.👉 Abraham and Sarah Abraham followed God’s instruction to sacrifice Isaac without involving his wife. This led to a broken home and contributed to Sarah’s death. Genesis 22:18–19; 23:1–4🌟COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE IN MARRIAGE. 1. Religious Mistakes📌Being overly religious can lead to challenges in marriage. We must understand how God leads us into marriage. Galatians 1:15📌 It’s possible to receive confirmation from God and still end up in a failed marriage if responsibilities are not taken seriously. 📌We must make decisions with both a spiritual and practical mind; there should be logical reasons behind every decision.2. Financial Mistakes📌Men should not just see marriage as a right to have a wife. They must serve a vision in their homes and take full responsibility.📌Read books on marriage to make informed decisions. Even good marriages have uncertain seasons, but reading gives you context and wisdom.3. Conflict Resolution Mistakes📌 Know when and how to resolve conflicts. It is emotional immaturity to avoid difficult conversations. Learn to reconcile with your partner regularly.

Deeper Canada - Vital Signs
Vital Signs📍Revelations 3:20; It’s possible to have a church without Jesus; form without substance. God isn’t always in the place we think He is.📍The Church of Satan sometimes doesn’t outright preach anything diabolical. They encourage you to live according to your will. We must recognize that the devil is a master of deception. Even a religious endeavor designed to satisfy your appetite is controlled by the devil.📍God is a healer and loves to meet the needs of His people, but that cannot be the focus.Revival dies because we begin to make it about ourselves.When we talk about vital signs, we’re talking about clinical measures the doctors use to check the health of a person, blood pressure, temperature, and such like.📌You can feel right and not be right. There are spiritual vital signs to measure the health of the church.📌Even if someone dies at 100 years, you still feel sad because something inside us knows that death isn’t right. We need to have that same discernment for the things of the spirit.📌One of the things that revival does for you is that it restores your sensitivity, to sin and against prayerlessness.📍Revelations 12:10-11; a church conscious of self preservation will not see a revival. The first thing that God does it to awaken us from our slumber.

Deeper Canada - Discerning Your Role in this Move Of God
📌 To understand a text like Hebrews 12, you must read the verses before and after, then can you only understand the context. Many people don’t pay attention to Hebrews 11:39-40, but it builds the case for chapter 12.📌 The story of Hebrews 12 is not complete without the believer. Abraham started the race. God gave him a promise and he handed it dow to the heroes of faith till it got to us. Their race might be finished but THE race is not finished. We have a part to play.📌 When you recognize that you are in a race, your priorities change. You lay aside every weight. “The sin” referred to in Hebrews 12:1-2 is the tendency to be discouraged by trials and tribulations. We are encouraged to look up to Jesus, our perfect example because he despised the shame and overcame.📌 One of the greatest killers of revivals is legitimate and personal ambitions. The trick of the enemy is to make us jettison our collective purpose in pursuit of our personal purpose. When we put Christ first, we are never at a disadvantage.📌 Any position of privilege you find yourself is for God. Whether you have an encounter or not, recognize that where you are is in interest of the kingdom of God. Every detail of your life is important for your assignment.📍We’re surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, who stood where we now stand and still had the ability to put God first.📌In Matthew 6:33, “Seeking first the Kingdom of God” means that no pain will never be legitimate enough to be your top priority.📌It doesn’t matter what your personal issue is, when we all put Christ first, we’re never at a disadvantage.📌Every child of God must realize that if you’re in a position of privilege, it is to the advantage of the kingdom.📌Don’t call an altar a stone or a pillow. Stop sleeping on the move of God!💡What are the things that happen in a revival? ✅Increased zeal and boldness. ✅ More people will preach more radically. ✅ Conviction of sin.✅ Massive conversions.✅ Explosive church growth.✅ Disciples raised
