Gospel Ramah Church Sermon of the Week

Throughout history, God has always scattered His people as seeds to respond to the needs of humanity. The church needs to engage the world and not isolate itself.

A great persecution of the Church resulting in immense joy in the city reveals that God allows the Church to go through many difficulties for the purpose of His eternal plan. Christian suffering is the primary means God uses to advance his gospel in the world.

Every individual who overcomes any challenge is able to do so because they can see the end gain in pain.

A visible token of heaven in the life of an individual is important but insufficient. The church is suffering from people who have had an experience of heaven but cannot contribute adequately to day-to-day life. A token of heaven that never translated into a real blessing.

Much effort could go to waste if believers do not ensure that some new community members do not drop out of the race. Five disqualifiers must be avoided: falling short of the grace of God, harbouring bitterness, indulging in sexual immorality, Despising spiritual things, and Prioritizing minor things

Justice is a natural human longing. This longing can lead some to become atheists, hedonists, antagonists, and discouraged. However, it can also lead to becoming faithful servants and enable us to become vessels for the justice of God.

With that is happening, how can my perspective be correct in time like this? How can my hope and faith be built up in times like these with so many adverse reports? So whose word will you believe?

Nothing happens until we pray earnestly. When you pray earnestly, God will hear us, and things will begin to happen. Through prayer, God can grant divine speed to overtake (outrun) the setup system.

Perspective is the ability to see things in the proper relation to everything else. It shows how things relate to each other. A faulty perception can lead to a wrong conclusion. Therefore, there is a need for a point of reference that can be a lens through which we see things. Jesus's ability to see things from a different perspective made Him capable of commanding a diverse line of action.

As Christians, we need God's gracious work to restore us in living our potential to the fullest. The repetition of small crises normally leads to a major emotional breakdown. When discouragement isn't dealt with it, manifests as fatigue. Your body is the instrument that informs you about your emotional state.

If you are physically unfit, you will not be able to fulfil your mandate to its fullest. Your body is your biggest asset; you need to take care of it. It is through your body that you can do what God has called you to do.

You will not be given just because you are in need, you have to first ask and seek. The greatest breakthroughs face the greatest resistance. Pray and work hard until you receive and see the manifestation of what you are trusting God for. As you press on and resist the temptation to give up; the devil will flee and the resistance will be broken.

When information contradicts the revelation we receive from God, we have to continue doing the seemingly repetitious and redundant instruction. Secondly, we have to focus on the revelation and not the information. And lastly, we need to know that size does not matter, but the Source does.

God is not in the business of aligning Himself to scientific laws, nor is He obsessed with fitting within the boxes of what science calls normal. God is also not limited by what limits us as humans. As a child of God, hearing the prophetic before seeing its manifestation is a sign that you are operating before your time.

God's children are entitled to enjoy the promises He has given to them to the fullest. If His will is for you to enjoy His promises, you cannot live life short of what God wants for you. Whatever the will of God is, there must be a human instrumentality to promote or further that will. Be a blessing.

We cannot satisfy our longing for a world that we know can be better than it is, but we can be the change we wish to see.

An alternative community is a group of people empowered to do and to teach the things God wants them to do and to teach in fundamentally different mainstream society. Their love for God must is the motivating force in how they think, speak, and act. Because of who and what they belong to, they ought to move from the evil use of religion to the emancipating power of Christianity. LUKE 24:45-53; ACTS 1:1-11

The suffering, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ have the power to overwhelm, disarm and renew all at the same time. Right Now Counts Forever! Therefore, Believers should live in the present with the future clearly in view.

Jesus, in the presence of members of the great crowd and the group of disciples, embraced compassionate ministry to the most vulnerable in society. Life-Changers are who they are because they have allowed their hearts to be touched by human misery. Compassion motivates one to react, to reach-out, and to address whatever can be redressed.

Our common humanity should help us discern that our neighbour is the one we least expect to be a neighbour. We have been mandated to: do not turn a blind eye, cross over to the right side of the road, and change the circumstance of someone who is suffering or has been wronged
