Topic: Ingredients of Marital Bliss.
Preacher: Prophet E. R. Oluwatusin
Text: Romans 11:10
In continuation of the ingredients of marital bliss, we will be considering other ingredients of marital bliss. The first is Honour/ Preference for your spouse. Honouring your spouse and treating him/her with respect is a key to a peaceful marriage. Our foundation and traditional history shape how we perceive and interact with our spouses.
It is important to let go of any contrary knowledge about honouring your spouse to properly honour each other in line with God’s principles. The weakness of your spouse should not be the reason you should disrespect or dishonour him/her. The second ingredient is in Matthew 30:31a, which is to grow together. Couples must grow together in three areas: spiritually, particularly eating the same spiritual food. No one outgrows the need for growth; grow physically in all areas, including education, health, etc. Always strive to develop yourself and not settle for your current position.
There is danger in only one spouse engaging in personal development; each spouse must strive to be fit to and fit for each other. One way to grow together is to love the job your spouse does, so you will be able to provide the necessary support. The area of growth is financial growth. The third ingredient is trust. As a couple, trust in God is essential, as stated in Proverbs 3:5 and Isaiah 28:16, and you will not make haste. Trust God for a blissful marriage, that he will help you to build a good home.
Also, have trust in the marriage that it will work despite what is thrown at you. Trust your spouse, also the Proverbs 31 husband trusted his wife without any fear. Without trust, there can never be love; trust is the bedrock of love. The fourth ingredient is commitment. Commitment is laying necessity on yourself for your spouse. The fifth ingredient is communication. There should be nothing you cannot share with your spouse. Ephesians 4:15,29. Have sweet and funny conversations as well as hard and truthful conversations with your spouse. Don't condemn your spouse with your words; rather, uplift him/her with your words.
Openness is another ingredient of a blissful marriage. Don't keep anything from yourselves, particularly as it relates to health and finances. Prayer is important for a blissful marriage. Have a family altar where you both pray as one before God and pray without ceasing. Prayer facilitates quick forgiveness and reduces fights. Each spouse should have three altars: a personal altar, a couple's altar, and a family altar.
Finally, take responsibility. Ephesians 5:21, wives, submit to yourselves in the fear of the Lord. Husbands should love their wives. The husband is responsible for providing security for his family. Also, take responsibility for your in-laws; the first is to respect and honor them. Another responsibility to your in-laws is to take care of them, particularly your parents-in-law.
P r a y e r
1. Lord, teach me to uphold my home in Jesus' name.
Family Sunday Sermon Summary
Preacher: Prophet E R Oluwatusin
Topic: Choice (Ingredients of Marital Bliss)
Text: Joshua 24: 15
The sermon emphasizes the critical role that choices play in the joy and success of marriage. The preacher asserts that a person's vision significantly influences their choices, which in turn shape their marital experience. Here are the key points discussed:
Five Critical Choices Impacting Marriage:
1. Choice of Faith:
The level of intentionality in one's faith will influence the choice of a spouse. A strong faith foundation is crucial not only in marriage but across all life areas.
2. Choice of Career:
The profession one chooses can affect various aspects of family life, including financial stability, time availability, and the overall dynamics of parenting. For instance, couples in similar professions may have different experiences than those in contrasting fields.
3. Choice of Associations:
The people you surround yourself with before and during marriage can significantly impact your relationship. Positive associations can lead to better choices in partners and enhance marital success.
4. Choice of Partner:
It’s essential to understand that one cannot change another person; only God can do that. Compatibility across various aspects of life is vital, and individuals should consider family backgrounds and behaviors before committing.
5. Choice of Marital Vision:
Having a clear vision for the type of marriage you desire is crucial. Without it, one may lack the motivation to work through challenges. Many marital struggles stem from poor choices rather than spiritual battles.
Knowledge Necessary for a Blissful Marriage (Isaiah 5: 13):
1. Knowledge of God:
A foundational understanding of God and His design for marriage is essential for longevity in marriage. External factors like money or beauty cannot replace this spiritual foundation.
2. Knowledge of Self:
Understanding one’s own temperament, strengths, and weaknesses is crucial. Awareness allows individuals to manage their traits and avoid pitfalls that could harm the relationship.
3. Knowledge of Spouse:
Gaining insight into your spouse's personality and preferences enhances cohabitation and strengthens the bond between partners.
4. Knowledge of Marriage:
Recognizing that marriage transforms two individuals into one entity is vital for success. This understanding fosters unity and collaboration within the relationship.
Conclusion:
The sermon concludes with the assertion that many marital issues arise from poor choices rather than spiritual conflicts. It encourages individuals to be mindful of their choices and to seek knowledge in various areas to cultivate a harmonious and blissful marriage

Topic: Can God spread a table in the wilderness?
Preacher: Prophet E. R. Oluwatusin
Text: Psalms 78:19-29
The children of Isreal after their exeat from Egypt through God’s mighty powers, they were faced with hunger and thirst asked this question in the wilderness. The food the children of Isreal came out of Egypt with finished and they were faced with hunger and this led to the question being asked. This may be your situation, you have found yourself asking if God can turn your situation around just like the Israelites.
I must state here that at different points in Life, there are different challenges that will be faced, and this is life’s truth because life is in phases and there are specific challenges to each phase.
The word of God to you this month is that he will come through for you miraculously, believe this and you will see the Lord work wonders. The wilderness was dry but because they served a powerful God, there was a supernatural provision for them. You don’t need to know how God will provide, just believe and settle it in your heart that he will provide.
When this people asked for this question while in the wilderness, God showed them that there is no impossibility with him, he provided water from the rock, and it became a stream. God exceeded their expectations with his provisions He proceeded to send them Manna from the heavens, what a special grace from God.
God is faithful and is immutable, if he did it for the Israelites, he can do it for you, just believe and remain steadfast with your believe.
Prayers
1. Lord, I am about to be financially naked, cover me with financial blessing in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, I’m thirsty, strike the rock and provide water for me.
3. Lord, in this most, in a miraculous way, open heaven and meet my needs in Jesus’ name.
4. In this month, feed me with my desire in Jesus’ name.

Preacher: Prophet E. R. Oluwatusin
Topic: Mercy That Transforms
Text: Mark 10:46–52
There were likely many men named Bartimaeus in the city during Jesus' time, but life gave this particular one a painful label—“Bartimaeus the Blind.” That was not his identity by birth, but a title stamped on him by circumstances.
Jesus was passing through Jericho for the last time before His crucifixion. After that moment, He never returned. That day was Bartimaeus’ last chance to receive sight, to be transformed, and to rewrite his story. If he had missed that moment, he might have lived the rest of his life in darkness.
Beloved, there is a set time for divine visitation. Psalm 102:13 says, "Thou shall arise and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come." When your set time comes, don't miss it. Bartimaeus almost missed his own, but mercy found him.
As Jesus walked past, surrounded by His disciples and a multitude, Bartimaeus was sitting by the roadside, begging. But though he was blind, he wasn’t deaf or mute. He had two working tools—his ears and his mouth—and he used them in faith. He had heard about Jesus' miracles. He believed. And when the moment came, he cried out: “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” (Mark 10:47)
Key Lessons:
1. Use What You Have
Bartimaeus used his voice and hearing to reach for what he lacked—his sight. You are not empty. There is something in you that, when trained and valued, can attract the miracle you seek. Stop underrating yourself. If you don’t announce your potential, no one will do it for you.
2. Don’t Miss Your Moment
Life-changing opportunities don’t come every day. Recognize when it’s your season. The problem is not always the devil—it can be delay or negligence. When God passes by, be ready. Pray this:
“Lord, this is my set time. Have mercy on me. Let my helpers locate me. Let your glory shine on me, in Jesus’ name!”
3. Opposition Is a Sign of Promotion
Every position attracts opposition. When you’re close to your breakthrough, resistance will increase. The crowd tried to silence Bartimaeus. Not one person defended him. That’s how this world works—evil thrives in numbers, but don't let the crowd discourage you.
The louder they tried to shut him down, the louder Bartimaeus cried out. And guess what? Jesus stood still. When your voice of faith reaches heaven, everything stops for your miracle.
Pray:
“Every opposition at the point of my testimony and glory, the Lord rebuke you in Jesus’ name!”
“Every covenant of stagnation and limitation in my lineage, be erased from my life and that of my children, in Jesus’ name!”
4. When God Arises, Your Enemies Bow
The same crowd that told Bartimaeus to be quiet turned around to cheer him up when Jesus called for him. Those who oppose you now will announce your elevation when mercy speaks for you.
Why You Must Not Be Discouraged:
God is with you – You are never alone.
Your situation does not define you – What God calls you is more powerful than what life labels you.

Topic: Approaching the Throne of Grace
Text: Hebrews 4:16
▎Introduction
Today, we gather to explore the profound significance of approaching the Throne of Grace. The Bible speaks of various thrones, including the Throne of Judgment and the White Throne, but today, our focus is on the Throne of Grace. This throne is not empty; it is presided over by our High Priest, Jesus Christ, who understands our struggles and empathizes with our weaknesses (Hebrews 4:15).
▎The Nature of the Throne of Grace
* The King on the Throne: Every throne has a king, and on the Throne of Grace, that king is Jesus Christ. He is not just a king but also our High Priest, who has walked the path we tread and faced temptations yet remained sinless.
* Empathy of Christ: Jesus empathizes with us because He knows our frame; He understands that we are dust. Despite our failures in temptation, He invites us to approach Him boldly to receive mercy and grace.
▎The Call to Approach the Throne
Many in our generation, like Barabbas, reject this invitation to approach the Throne of Grace. They remain in their struggles and poverty, missing out on the blessings that come from this divine encounter.
▎How to Approach the Throne of Grace
1. Through Confession of Faith (Hebrews 4:14):
• To approach the Throne of Grace, we must first confess our faith and our sins. It is through this confession that we become children of God.
• Our faith must be steadfast; we should not return to our old ways or practices that separate us from God. Satan seeks to undermine our faith, but we must hold firm.
2. With Boldness/Confidence (Hebrews 4:16):
• We can approach this throne with confidence because it belongs to our Father. A true child does not hesitate to enter their father's house.
• Do not let anyone manipulate you into thinking there are other ways to access this throne; Jesus has made it accessible at all times.
3. With Fear (Honor and Reverence):
• Approaching the Throne of Grace requires a sense of honor and sacredness. It is not a place for self-will but for recognizing God's holiness.
• Psalm 103:17 reminds us that if we fear the Lord, He is ready to show us mercy. We must live in a way that reflects our understanding of His greatness.
▎Results of Approaching the Throne of Grace
1. You Will Obtain Mercy (Hebrews 4:16)
• Coming to the Throne of Grace is essential for obtaining mercy. Grace and mercy are inseparable companions; grace opens the door to mercy.
• Without grace speaking on your behalf, you may find yourself in a place of judgment and struggle.
2. Transformation Through Grace:
• When grace locates you, your circumstances can change dramatically. Many may possess gifts and talents but struggle without grace.
• Grace brings connection to benefactors and opportunities, transforming lives and leading to joyous celebrations.
▎Conclusion
As we conclude today's message, remember that the Throne of Grace is always open to you. Do not let fear or doubt keep you from approaching it boldly. Embrace your identity as a child of God, confess your sins, and approach with reverence. As you do so, expect to receive mercy and experience the transformative power of grace in your life.
Let us pray for a fresh outpouring of grace upon each one of us as we approach this throne together today. Amen.
Topic: Wonderful story of love
Preacher: Prophet E R Oluwatusin
Text: John 15:13
God because of his love for mankind gave his only begotten son to die for our sin, John 4:10. His son, Jesus, also accepted to die for our sin because he loves us. He took the form of a man, he was crucified, yet he prayed for us. After his death, he rose to give us life and hope. I Corinthians 15: 12-20
The Implication of his love
1. This love delivered the kingdom back to the father. He ended all the rules and authority the devil had since the fall of man. Jesus’ death and resurrection brought the kingdom back to God.
2. Jesus became a life-giving spirit, I Corinthians 15:45-49. The first Adam was a living soul who could not give life, but by resurrection, Christ became a life-giving spirit because he is the life.
3. We have our victory. I Corinthians 15:50-57. The fit victory is victory over sin and then victory over death. When you conquer sin and flesh, there is nothing on earth that you cannot conquer.
Our responsibility to this love
1. Appreciate God or the love. Jesus’ birth was the beginning of our salvation, and his death and resurrection are the consummation of our salvation, so we must praise him for this great work of salvation. 2 Corinthians 2:14-5; 9:15. Rejoice and be full of joy.
2. Respond to the love through repentance. 2 Corinthians 6: 1-3, 17-18
3. Live for him, Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5: 14-15
4. Love one another. John 15:11-12, 13:34-35
5. You are to abound in good works. I Corinthians 15:57-58

Preacher: Prophet E R Oluwatusin
Topic: Jeremiah and the Rechabites
Jeremiah 35: 1-10
Jeremiah was God's prophet who preached repentance to the nation of Israel. The nation of Israel failed to repent, they didn't take the words of God seriously and did what displeased God. God wanted an example from the nation of Israel to prove to the nation that there are still some people around them who still obey their biological father. This was God’s way to bring them to repentance.
God is still in the business of bringing people back to repentance, constantly bringing men from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God.
Who are the Rechabbites? They are Jews with zealous forefathers. I Chronicles 2:55, 2 Kings 10:15. Their forefathers gave them instructions on how to live life.
God gave Jeremiah 3 instructions which he obeyed in detail. The instructions are:
● Go to the house of Rechabites.
● Bring them to the house of the Lord.
● Give them wine.
Jeremiah brought them to the house of the Lord to make them convenient and safe and make it look holy and godly, yet they didn't drink the wine. They didn't compromise even though it was in the house of the Lord
In this present age, we no longer stand for obedience and righteousness again, we have started rationalising sins.
The Rechabites were handed these instructions over 200 years before Jeremiah came to them, yet they kept the instructions. How are we handling instructions passed down to us? Do we even think it fit to pass them down to our children?
We must live our lives on earth knowing that we are strangers here and we must consciously live with eternity in view. This will help us to be God-conscious and faithful to all of God's ways.
What is your response to God's instructions and spiritual doctrines? This is a call to emulate the Rechabites and stay faithful to God and his dictates.
Prayer
Lord help me to be faithful to you and all your instructions in Jesus's name.
Sunday Morning Sermon
Date: 23/3/2025
Preacher: Prophet E R Oluwatusin
Topic: Continuation of Lessons on Lot (After Exit)
Text: Genesis 19:23-38
Introduction:
Beloved, as we gather today, let us reflect on the urgency of our spiritual state in these times. We are living in an era akin to Sodom and Gomorrah, as highlighted in Matthew 24:29-31, where the coming of the Lord is imminent. It is crucial that we examine our hearts and lives, for those who are not prepared for the rapture will face dire consequences, just as Sodom and Gomorrah were consumed by fire.
1. The Urgency of Preparation for the Rapture:
If anyone thinks they can endure the hardships that will follow the rapture, I urge you to reconsider. The time to prepare is now. Jesus instructed us to be ready, for the signs of the end times are all around us (Matthew 24:44). We cannot afford to be complacent; we must strive to make heaven our home today.
2. The Heart's Attachment to Sin:
As we explore Genesis 19:26, we see Lot’s wife looking back at Sodom, despite being led out of that sinful city. Her heart was still attached to her treasures and the life she left behind. This serves as a warning: you may have physically left a life of sin, but if sin still resides in your heart, you risk your spiritual safety. We must ensure that our hearts are aligned with God’s will and not with the allure of sin
3. The Power of Intercessory Prayer:
We learn from Genesis 19:27-29 that Abraham's prayers were instrumental in Lot's rescue. How many of us are praying for others? In a world where selfishness often prevails, let us not forget the power of intercessory prayer. If God could save Lot due to Abraham’s faithfulness, imagine what our prayers can do for our families and communities. Let us commit to praying for others, securing their futures through our supplications.
4. The Consequences of Fear and Poor Decisions:
When Lot left Zoar and sought refuge in the mountains out of fear, he made a grave mistake. Had he obeyed God’s command initially, he would not have found himself hiding in a cave. Fear can lead us away from God’s will and into despair.
Let’s examine three critical mistakes made by Lot’s daughters:
A. Over-exaggeration of Problems: They claimed there were no men left in the world, which clouded their judgment. When we magnify our problems, we risk falling into error (1 Corinthians 10:13; 2 Corinthians 4:17; Romans 8:18; 1 John 4:4).
B. Lack of Spiritual Discernment: Their decision to intoxicate their father to conceive children stemmed from a lack of faith and reliance on God's plan. Remember, if God is not the Alpha, He cannot be the Omega in your life.
C. Exploiting Weaknesses: They took advantage of their father’s weakness for alcohol. Each of us has weaknesses that can be exploited by the enemy. Recognizing and addressing these weaknesses is crucial for spiritual strength. Lot was a man of God, yet his daughters' actions brought shame upon him. Conclusion:
Brothers and sisters, let us take these lessons to heart. We are all imperfect beings striving for perfection in Christ. What others complain about regarding us often points to our weaknesses—let us work on them diligently. In this season of preparation, may we remain vigilant, prayerful, and committed to God’s will.
Let us pray for strength to overcome our weaknesses, for the grace to intercede for others, and for the wisdom to remain steadfast in our faith as we await the glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Date: March 9, 2025 - Second Sunday of March
Speaker: Prophet E. R. Oluwatusin
Theme: Lot's Departure from Sodom
Scripture Reference: Genesis 19:12-14
In our previous discussions, we explored seven traits that distinguished Lot's character. Today, we will examine how Lot became an urgent evangelist by urging his in-laws to flee Sodom, warning them of the impending destruction.
In these end times, as God prepares to bring judgment upon the world, we still need evangelists like Lot who will proclaim to everyone, "Come out from among them and be separate from sin."
Through radio and social media, we often hear messages focused on prosperity, emphasizing the magnitude of personal problems without reminding listeners of the Lord's second coming. The signs of the end times have all been fulfilled; the only thing left is the rapture.
What steps are we taking individually to alert our friends, relatives, and family about the imminent return of the Lord?
Our attire, speech, and daily activities should reflect the Gospel and serve as a form of evangelism. The people around you—colleagues, drivers, neighbors, messengers, and apprentices—are not mere coincidences; they are connected to you for the purpose of sharing the Gospel.
If your faith is not evident in your appearance or in how you raise your children, then your faith may be questionable.
1. Even though Lot faced mockery and disgrace, it did not prevent the destruction of Sodom. As evangelists, despite ridicule and condemnation, we must continue our mission (Romans 1:18-22).
2. Lot was instructed to leave the city with his family, but he hesitated. Many of us, like Lot, hesitate to abandon sin because of its perceived benefits. Remember that death is the ultimate fate for sinners. The time has come to break free from sin that separates you from God.
3. The angel gave Lot three critical instructions: do not look back, do not linger, and run to the mountain. After being saved, you have responsibilities: Luke 9:62 reminds us not to look back but to focus on our heavenly journey. If you hesitate, you risk getting ensnared by sin. It may be challenging now, but it will soon pass (2 Corinthians 4:17). Run and ascend the mountain of prayer, love for others, holiness, and righteousness. Unfortunately, Lot failed to climb this mountain; he chose his own path instead of God's will and ended up regretting it. Are you following God's will or merely His permissive will? Many things God has asked you to do remain undone as you compromise your faith for personal desires.
Hebrews 12:25:
"See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven."
1st Sunday of March
Topic: The Unstoppable God.
Preacher: Prophet E. R. Oluwatusin
Text: Isaiah 43:13.
The God who spoke here has said no one can deliver out of his hand. Isaiah 14:27. No one can stop God; he is the only one that can do such, overturning the decision of men. He is the only one that can speak and decide, and no one can thwart.
You have to believe that which God has said concerning you, no one can reverse it, the purpose of God will be fulfilled in your life. Many events are happening at the end of this world, pointing to God as the almighty God. God has not forgotten anyone, no one should forget himself/herself.
Having this knowledge, here is the next step to take:
1. Don't be afraid. Isaiah 44:6-8. Some of us live in fear even after God has told us he has settled it because we can't see the physical manifestation of his word.
2. Don't run after another God. God has said he will act accordingly, wait for the person that has purposed to do it. Our fear usually drives us to do what is not in God’s will. Isaiah 44:9-11.
3. Don't trust in man. Man will mislead you. Genesis 30: 22-24. God’s word will be fulfilled, fix your eyes continually on him.
4. Hold on to your faith. The reason you are in this circumstance/ situation is because the devil is after your faith. Nothing can conquer you here on earth if your faith is still anchored and rooted in Christ, for you will see Jesus in eternity. Romans 4: 17-21.
Ecclesiastical 3:11-14, Conclusively, God wants to work now, what is left is for you to restructure your way before God. Isaiah 40:3-5. The way of the Lord is the way of holiness, let your life please God this month. If you have done this, pray to God, lift up your voice and speak to God in prayer. Isaiah 40:9.
Remember that God will not do this miracle because of your efforts, money or status but solely because the Lord has spoken it.
Prayers.
1. My creator, I am back to you, deliver me.
2. My creator, I am back to you, Lord, settle my situation today.
3. My God, the dog of the world is barking, appear as the lion of the tribe of Judah.
4. Lord, don't allow man to ridicule me, my God intervene switchly.
5. Lord, this my pursuit, Lord intervene, don't leave it to me Lord.

Topic: The cord has broken and we have escaped
Preacher: Prophet E. R. Oluwatusin
Text: Psalms 124:7
The people of this world set snares for ourselves just as we set snares for animals. The snares set by human is worse than those of animals; only God can save anyone ensnared in man's trap. Snares have certainly been set, but we have escaped!
How do we escape? Because the snares have been broken, and therefore we escape. What broke the snares? Let's see four factors that led to this:
1. God is with us. Psalms 124:1-2.
2. We were helped by God. We encountered help in the name of the Lord. Psalms 124:8.
3. God chose to love us. Psalms 135:4; 147:20.
4. It pleases God to do so. Psalms 135:6
These four reasons should propel us to give thanks to God, for he has caused us to see the 14th year of the establishment of CAC Faith Palace. Psalms 136:1-2; 23-24, 107:1-2.

Topic: Lessons from Lot and his Wife
Text: Genesis 19:
This is the beginning of a series that will take us about 3 Sundays as we do an expose on the life of Lot and his family.
Lot is Abraham's Nephew, who followed Abraham when God called him out of his kinsmen. Abraham and Lot separated after they had journeyed for a while and he pitched his tent in sodom.
We don't know how many years Lot had stayed in Sodom but we want to examine and learn from the incident in Genesis 19. The following are the lessons from Lot:
1. The first lesson is that he had become an elder who sits at the gate even though he was a stranger in Sodom. We must be intentional about your growth regardless of your background or circumstance.
2. Lot had discernment, the angels appeared like ordinary men and could discern that they were angels. He wasn't the only one sitting at the gate but he was the only one who knew the men as angels. Discernment is a gift that every child of God must have especially at this end time. If you are not Discerning you will loose your destiny looking for cheap and free things. We must be like Lot and be able to discern our environment and those around us. This discernment was Lot's saving grace from the doom to come on Sodom.
3. Lot knew the act of worship. He bowed them before them, even though he was an elder of the land. How well do you worship God? Do you worship him from your heart? Lot knew the art and the act of worship. The fathers of faith taught us that worship entails talking to God, listening to God and giving our offering. How faithful are we in our worship to God?
4. He was hospitable.vs. 2-3. Every child of God must learn hospitality, hospitality brought about the manifestation of God's promise to Abraham. Hospitality is a ministry that every child of God must be active in, if you don't learn to give, you will never make impact and you will never leave the level of poverty.
5. He was protective of his guests. Vs. 4-7. How well do you protect the interest of people around you? He guided his guests against the people of sodom. In this generation, we are all about our selfish interest and we do not pay attention to the interests of others around us.
6. Lot trained his girls well in a corrupt society, his children were virgins, vs 8. Hiw are we training our children today?
7. Lot lived a sacrificial life, vs 8. He was ready to sacrifice his children to protect the angels. Anyone who will make it in life must be ready to make sacrifice.
These seven lessons are an introduction into the series and we will continue the series. These seven lessons call for reflection to know what is missing in your life.
Prayers
1. Lord, help me to live right and rightly, to live a life of intention and not only emotions in Jesus' name.
2. Ask for the help of the Holy spirit on are where you are lacking based on the lessons from Lot.

Topic: The Benefits of Being Zealous for God
Preacher:Prophet E. R. Oluwatusin
Text: Number 25:1-13.
The children of Israel sojourned into the land flowing with milk and honey and while in the wilderness, they encountered different things one of which we want to examine today.
When they arrived at Shittim, they set up their camp there instead of continuing their journey. As a result, they began to engage in adultery and idolatry. If they had not stopped at Shittim, it is possible that they would not have fallen into these sins.
These two things are very prevalent in the end time now, but this doesn’t mean that God is happy with them because it is prevalent. Proverbs 5:3-5; 6:20-29,7:6-25. Whoever gives himself to fornication is on his way to his death which leads to relegation.
The children of Israel forgot God's command, and as a result, God became angry with them. This led to a plague that caused the deaths of 24,000 people. While they were mourning, a man among them took a Midianite woman and committed fornication with her, disregarding the solemnity of the moment. A person filled with zeal for God decided that this behavior could not continue and took action to put a stop to it.
The benefits of Phinehas’ zeal:
1. As he speared the two individuals, the disease came to a halt.
2. His zeal overturned the wrath of God. Verse 11
3. Verse 12, God made a covenant of peace with him and his children.
4. God made a covenant of priesthood forever.
5. It was counted as righteousness for him. Psalms 106:30-31
Today, how many people are zealous for God? Are you as zealous for God as you are with your job? How many people will be like Phinehas in this generation who will stop God’s anger from this generation? Check your zeal for God now compared to when you first believed. God is expecting someone to be like Phinehas for a revival of your passion for God and his kingdom work. This year, increase your zeal for God, be like David, and be zealous for God in all aspects, as the Lord gives you grace to work for him.
Prayers
1. Lord, I am weary, Lord revive me again, make me zealous for the kingdom’s work again.
2. Lord, revive my love for you, let me love you more in Jesus’ name.
3. Holy Spirit, help me not to be weary, let my fire continually burn for Christ.

Topic: God is a God of Surprise.
Preacher: Prophet E. R. Oluwatusin
Text: Luke 1: 21- 25
The service was a conclusion of the 1st day of the three days of monthly Revival. It is a surprising thing for Zechariah and Elizabeth who served God wholeheartedly and in all righteousness were aged with barren. Despite all the odds, they didn’t turn from serving God. It was also surprising that Zechariah encountered the angel, became dumb, and that Elizabeth the aged woman became pregnant and gave birth to John. It is also surprising that Zechariah stood so long in the temple that everyone waiting began to wonder and marvel as to his stay. As soon as he had this encounter, Zechariah left the temple to his house and took the necessary steps for Elizabeth to conceive. Elizabeth conceived and shared her testimony of the acts of God, and his favour stating that He had removed her disgrace.
Prayers
1. Lord, my heart relies on you, lord in this month lord, do this (state your desires) for me in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, have mercy upon me in Jesus’ name.
3. Lord, today, take away my reproach in Jesus’ name.

Topic: Jesus and Zacchaeus
Preacher: Prophet E. R. Oluwatusin
Text: Luke 19:1-10
Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector and a Jew who faced rejection from his community due to his occupation. He was seen as an enemy of the Jews and a traitor. He was also a lost son of Abraham, being born in the church doesn’t guarantee your salvation. Zacchaeus, a wealthy, short man, collected taxes but did not remit them to the government. He wanted to see Jesus, but he couldn’t because of the crowd and his stature. He did not allow the challenge he faced to stop him from fulfilling his desire to see Jesus.
What are the lessons from Zacchaeus?
1. He didn’t allow his wealth and influence to stop his ambition to see Jesus. God expects us to be like Zacchaeus and we won’t let what we have hinder our fellowship with Jesus this year.
2. He didn’t allow his limitations to stop him, he went the extra mile by climbing the tree. For many of us, our fellowship is limited by our limitations.
3. He worked around the prevailing challenge and didn’t allow it to deter him. No challenge will leave you the way you are, it either improves you or destroys you. This year face every challenge in the name of the Lord and believe in possibilities
4. He was proactive and he had discernment. He discerned the way Jesus was going to pass and proactively climbed the tree. Proactiveness is the act of preparation before the action.
5. Zacchaeus was humble to see Jesus. despite his wealth and influence, he displayed his humility by climbing the tree to see Jesus. how many of us will stay humble this year regardless of what God gives us this year?
6. Zacchaeus was a generous man as he gave to the poor and practised hospitality
7. He understood restitution. He was willing to give back to persons he had wrongly collected things from.
Zacchaeus' encounter with Jesus: his desire to see Jesus made Jesus look his way, if we desire Jesus this year, he is available to us. Jesus instructed him to come down from the sycamore tree and he did. If we will have encounters with Jesus this year, we must come down from the sycamore tree which means sins, pride etc.
His encounter with Jesus exceeded his expectations. He initially sought only to see Jesus, but instead, Jesus chose to visit his home, and he gladly welcomed Him. As stated in Ephesians 3:20, if you desire fellowship with Him, Jesus can do more than you could ever imagine. Zacchaeus didn’t stop at welcoming Jesus into his home; he recognized Him as Lord and opened his life to Him. Nothing is hidden from God, but He expects us to be honest and transparent before Him.
Jesus in turn offered Zacchaeus salvation because he came to seek the lost. If you expose yourself before God today, he is willing to offer you salvation. Will you expose yourself before God and accept his salvation? Be intentional about your fellowship with God this year, don’t allow your limitations to stop you.
Prayers
1. Lord, I desire to do Your will this year. Please help me with my areas of weakness in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord I desire more of you in my life this year, help me Jesus

Topic: The Praise of God
Preacher: Prophet E. R. Oluwatusin
(Text: 1 Chronicle 20:1-22) Jehoshaphat was a king who knew God but suddenly war rose against him, 3 nations rose against him to battle against Judah. He proclaimed a fast over the nation and prayed to God for he was clueless on what to do. He confessed to God that he knew nothing to do and was solely looking up to God. The lord's response to him was to praise God. It always sounds ridiculous and foolish when you are told to praise God amid battle and this is a pointer to the fact that the normal mind cannot understand the mystery of the kingdom. Jehoshaphat and the nation obeyed God and sang to the Lord of Israel.
If you are faced with battles and voices that scare you like Jehoshaphat and don’t know what to do, here is what you will do: praise God. This praise is not based on what you are experiencing or what you want to get from God but on the fact that God commanded it.
How to praise God?
1. Psalms 29:2; Give praise to him that is worthy of his name. You will only praise God based on your understanding of God.
2. Praise God in holiness, for God is holy, and his ways are holy. Psalms 29:2
3. We praise God with Instruments of praise; 2 Chronicles 5: 11-14
4. Praise him by sharing your testimonies. I Chronicles 1: 24; Psalms 26:7
5. Praise him with a loud voice. 2 Chronicles 20:19.
6. Praise God with offering. I Chronicles 16:29.
This year, I implore you to decide to praise God as Jehoshaphat and the nation of Israel in the face of challenges and unpleasant situations. Nehemiah proclaimed a fast through the nation to praise God amid uncertainty, you can do the same too this year; praise God because he is God.
Prayers
I challenge you to praise God in an unusual way.

Topic: A Great Day is Coming
Preacher: Prophet E. R. Oluwatusin
Text: Matthew 24:44-51
Happenings/circumstances are what make a great day, all days have the same hours. The great day here is the day Jesus Christ our Lord will come back and the day of judgment that the saints will rejoice while the sinners will weep bitterly.
Five Things to Note
1. We are sojourners on earth. We must put the country (Heaven) we are going to in mind. Hebrews 11: 13-16.
2. There are two everlasting destinations ahead of us after sojourning; one is Heaven, and the second is Hell John 5:29, Daniel 5:2, we have the choice to choose our final destination.
3. There are two paths to the everlasting destination; either by death or the second coming of Jesus. any of these can happen to us. 2 Samuel 14:14, Matthew 24:30-31.
4. There will be judgment and the judgment is to wit; on the acceptance/rejection of Jesus; John 3:36. Secondly, Jesus is coming to judge our character (Hebrews 12:14); he will judge your faithfulness (Matthew 24:44-51); lastly, Jesus will judge your works Matthew 25: 31-45. Our actions and inactions shall be judged rightly and vice versa. Only works done in truth and holiness shall stand.
5. What then do we do? Prepare and be ready Matthew 24:44-46.
1st Sunday of the year
Topic: Wisdom to end well.
Preacher: Prophet E. R. Oluwatusin
Date:5/01/2025
Text: 2 Peter 1:3
God through his divine power has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness. This means that we are complete in Jesus, everything we need in life has been supplied through his divine power. This supply is two-fold; first, knowledge of him who has called us to his glory. The purpose of this supply is to be partaker of his divine nature as seen in verse 4 of 2 Peter chapter 1.
After all these God has released, we have an effort to make, which is “all diligence” (2 Peter 1:5). Ending well is not an accident but by intentions, it is cumulative of our actions and inactions. If you fail to be intentional about the year, it is not God’s fault because he gave you everything you need for 2025 even before you entered it.
What is the wisdom to end well?
1. Understand the year, you cannot understand the year unless you have an instructor. Psalms 32:8. God is the instructor needed to understand the year and he will instruct you through the bible, fellowship with God and the brethren, and reflection.
2. Understand yourself. Know your strengths and weaknesses, things you can do well, things you can do and things you cannot do. Colossians 1:9. The benefit of understanding yourself is that there will be a reduction in the mistakes you make this year.
3. Self-improvement, this stems from the last point, when you understand yourself, you will work on yourself. There is no limit to self-improvement, it is an intentional act to better your best.
4.Build structures. You can never win anything without structure, this is your consistency. Consistency in character, competence and diligence.
5.Building relationships/Networking.
6. Knowing when to quit.
7. Leave within your means.
Prayers
1. Lord, don’t let me undo myself this year.
2.Lord, give me an understanding of the year, show me the path to go and don’t let me go astray in Jesus’ name.
3.Lord, give me insight and open my understanding to things I'm supposed to know about myself this year.
