Sermon 2026

LAST SUNDAY OF JANUARY SERMON

Date: 25th January, 2026

Preacher: Prophet E. R. Oluwatusin

Topic: The Cost of Divine Lifting

Text: Galatians 6:1–10

INTRODUCTION

God has promised that this year He will uplift His people.

“God is not a man that He should lie, nor the son of man that He should repent.”

  Numbers 23:19

When God speaks, His word is sure. However, divine lifting is not God-exclusive. God has His part to play, but man also has responsibilities.

In life, everything has a cost and a value. The world will only give you what you are able to pay the price for.

Many people say salvation is free, but salvation was not cheap. It cost God pain, rejection, and sacrifice. Jesus went through the agony of the cross, and even His Father turned His face away from Him, just to give the world salvation.

Nothing of value comes without a price.

Also note:

Anything that costs money alone has no eternal value.

The things with eternal value are things money cannot buy.

Ironically, money is the least thing we spend, yet it is the most pursued.

FOUR REQUIREMENTS FOR DIVINE LIFTING

1. Believe That God Truly Wants to Uplift You

 Luke 1:38; Proverbs 2:1–2

Mary believed the word of God spoken to her. She received it with faith and treasured it in her heart.

Divine lifting begins with belief.

You must accept God’s word concerning your life.

If you doubt the promise, you delay the manifestation.

When you treasure God’s word, it produces results.

 You cannot rise above what you truly believe.

2. Focus

 1 Corinthians 9:24–27

Focus is a major price for lifting.

Have something meaningful that can be the source of your upliftment.

Let something consume your passion.

Build your life around a clear purpose.

Let people identify you with what you do.

Be a master at your craft.

Ask yourself:

Where am I going this year?

This year:

Don’t live to please men.

It is better to offend people than to offend God.

Do not waste your productive hours on flimsy and useless things.

 Distraction is the enemy of elevation.

3. Delay Gratification

 Galatians 6:9; Hebrews 12:1–2

If you enjoy today without discipline, you will suffer tomorrow.

Anyone without a story of discipline will vanish soon.

This does not mean you should not enjoy life—but enjoy it at the right time.

There is a due season for everything.

Premature enjoyment leads to future regret.

Don’t work only for today’s pleasure—work for tomorrow’s reward.

 Those who rush pleasure often rush regret.

4. Self-Examination and Self-Improvement

You are not competing with anyone else you are competing with yourself.

Improve yourself daily.

Become better each year.

If who you were in 2025 is the same in 2026—in wisdom, skill, and impact you are not qualified for lifting.

Don’t be stagnant.

Add value to yourself.

Increase your knowledge.

Growth reduces inferiority complex.

What you carry is what God will use to uplift you.

If you don’t grow, you don’t go.

CONCLUSION

Divine lifting is real.

God is faithful to His promises.

But lifting comes at a cost.

Believe the word.

Stay focused.

Delay gratification.

Improve yourself daily.

18TH January 2026

Preacher:Prophet E R Oluwatusin

Topic: Faithful God who never fails

Text: Genesis 12: 1-3; Genesis 18.

We will be doing an exposition on Abraham who is the father of faith. When God called this man in Genesis 12, he made a promise to him. Abraham had no understanding of the land he was going to, this appears to be illogical, yet he obeyed God even with his status as a 75 years old man with no child.

Abraham carried these promises for 24 year and in Genesis 18:1, he had an encounter with God. God showed forth and Abraham saw three persons, it is notable to say here that God has been appearing as trinity from ages past. It is important to have discerning spirit when God shows up, Abraham could discern the three men as God and he bowed down to worship them and went ahead to host them.

God is showing up for individually now, there will be a time that he will show up for the world and only those who have found grace of salvation in his sight will be with him in Heaven.  

People of God, give yourself to hospitality and giving because it pays. Hospitality was the vehicle that brought the promise child to Abraham. God wanted to engage Abraham in a conversation and then he asked for Sarah’s whereabout. He went ahead to give a prophecy with a definite time. Sarah laughed at this word because there was no physical sign to support this word but the physical doesn’t confirm God’s word, it conforms to it.

What to do to see your promise

1. Abraham never lost hope with the promise, if you can be hopeful, every word that God given you will come to pass. Romans 5:5 says that hope will not put to shame, so stay hopeful with the promise.

2. Have faith that he who has promised will do it Romans 4:13; 20.

3. Be thankful. Thanksgiving is God’s will for us to praise him in all situation and because all things work together for our good.  You should thank God because he is a faithful God.

4. Avoid comparison. God will do what he has done not at your time but at his time. Live courageously with God and be yourself.

Prayer

1.      Lord, that which you have purposed for me, Lord let it be established in Jesus’ name.

First Sunday of 2026.

Preacher: Prophet E. R. Oluwatusin

Topic: Things you must have for the Journey of 2026.

This is a continuation of the topic from the first service in 2026. We will add four more important things to the five discussed in the first service of the year.  

1. Put your trust in God; this will serve as an anchor of your faith in the journey of the year, irrespective of any challenge you may face, Psalms 11:1; 56:11. Only those who trust in God will be able to wade through the storms of 2026.

2. Have a secret place in 2026. Psalms 91:1-2. The secret place is the place of power, fortress and refuge. 

3. Have contentment in 2026.  The sure key to contentment is to avoid comparison with anyone. Philippians 4:11, Hebrews 13:5.

4.  Pursue peace. This peace is divided into two; the first is your own health. 3rd John verse 2. Secondly, be at peace with men so that you can have peace with God. Romans 12: 18-21.  

Prayers

1. Lord, don’t let me lose my peace this year, give sound health and peace in Jesus’ name.

2. Lord, make me wiser than the enemies appearing as friends.
