Living by Faith
📌 When Nicodemus inquired of the Lord, Jesus took his focus away from the activity to the environment that produces the activity (John 3:3).📌 Hebrews 11:3 — Faith is a concept of possibility. It plugs you into a realm where there is no impossibility.📌 Hebrews 11:11 — We have an insurance with God. Come to terms with God’s economy.📌 Luke 9:16 — You are never out of options.The Holy Ghost is enough. With the Holy Ghost, you can do all things. 💪🔥📌 Faith gives you the opportunity to superimpose the laws and possibilities of Heaven here on earth (John 3:3-4).THREE THINGS TO PAY ATTENTION TO:1. Your concept of capital must change. What you have is enough if God sent you. The new currency is the Spirit.2. Your concept of impossibility must change. God did not create the laws of biology, physics, economics, or medicine to limit what He wants to do with your life (Luke 1:38).3. Your concept of time must also change — you don’t need to be old before it happens.

Living by the Spirit
''If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”Galatians 5:25 NKJVTrue sanctification is not a matter of willpower but of walking in step with the Spirit. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, empowers us to overcome it, and transforms us from the inside out, leading us into a life that pleases God.

Fueling The Engine
FUELING THE ENGINE”.We were reminded that Church is not an event, but a living organism to which we belong (1 Corinthians 12:12, 21).Here are a few key points from the service:1️⃣ Many of us think of “church” as a place we go to or a program we watch. But in God’s design, the Church is a body, every part connected, every member needed.2️⃣ Just like we feel the pain of a toothache when one small part of the body is hurt, the absence or silence of one member affects the whole. Our presence, voice, and contribution matter, not just to people, but to God Himself (Numbers 11:27, Ephesians 4:16).3️⃣ The early Church understood this. They weren’t spectators; they were participants. Just like in Numbers 11:27, where even those who did not gather still received the Spirit, God has marked us as part of His family.4️⃣ Belonging comes with responsibility. Ephesians 4:16 says that every joint supplies. We must be dependable for our contributions to the corporate mission, not as silent spectators, but as active participants. Apostle also showed us, from Scripture, what a Biblical Church really looks like, and how it differs from today’s common idea of church.This brings us to the acronym ICAME:📌I – IDENTITYChurch is not an event; it is a family and a people. We have an identity.📌C – COMMITMENTNot as customers, but as covenant members. We don’t serve God as we like but as He likes. The cross demands our honor and reverence.📌A – ACCOUNTABILITYEvery church has leaders, and God expects us to submit, receive corrections, and walk in love. Paul even says in 1 Corinthians 5:4-5 that to be outside the local church is to be in Satan’s territory.📌M – MISSIONOur lives must align with the corporate mission of the Gospel, not just personal pursuits.📌E – ECONOMICSFamilies share responsibility. In the same way, God expects us to steward His house with generosity. As 1 Corinthians 9:7-11 reminds us, no soldier goes to war at his own expense. Out of love and duty, we ought to give consistently to fuel the spread of the Gospel.As we continue this week, let us do the following 👇🏾✅ Be intentional about showing up for our local church gatherings.✅ Look for ways to serve with our gifts.✅ Practice cheerful, consistent giving for the mission.✅ Embrace accountability and spiritual discipline.✅ Live each day on gospel mission.The train is moving! The Gospel is advancing, and God has called us to be part of His engine. 🚂

PLUG-IN (FINDING YOUR PLACE IN THE MOVEMENT)
Drawing from Matthew 9:36-38, Apostl reminded us that we are not called to merely attend church but to be the church. Unlike agriculture where harvest is the end of labor, in the Kingdom, harvest marks the beginning of labor.Here are some highlights from the message:📍 Jesus responds to growth with compassion, and He expects us to do the same.📍 The harvest is not just about souls — it’s also about the need for more labourers.📍 Being part of the church means thinking and acting like family, not like customers who walk away when displeased.📍 When you notice a need in church, your first response should be prayer (Matthew 9:38).📍 Every believer is called to see themselves as part of the solution for the harvest (Matthew 28:18; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20).📍 Growth comes through community — you need a small circle of believers you can build with (1 Corinthians 14:26).📍 Church is not just about receiving; it’s about supplying, serving, and saving lives through your contribution.📍 True apostolic churches thrive beyond the presence of the pastor, because every member is equipped to build (Ephesians 4:11).At the core, the message was clear: we are co-labourers with Christ, not mere spectators.Your place in the movement matters. The church grows when every joint supplies, and God calls each of us to plug in and play our part.
