Theme of the Month - I.B.I. - Identify, befriend, influence



Message Topic: INFLUENCED BY LOVE

Text: Matthew 22:36 - 40, Isaiah 38:18, John 3:16, John 15:12, 13



We can deploy the tool of love as we identify, befriend and influence for the Kingdom

In the parable of talents, the master gave 5 talents, 2 talents and 1 talents. It is not in the number of talents you were given. It is how you use the talents you were given!



You are the medium of love transmission. YOU shall love the Lord. “YOU” here is the key word.

Have you ever asked yourself, why did God keep me alive till today?

You should not live for yourself. God is only looking for a conduit pipe. He wants to flow through You to be a blessing to humanity.

God created us to be the conduit He can flow through!



It is the Love You have that you can transmit. You cannot transmit beyond the quantity of love in You! You hear of suicides; that is the extent to which they love themselves. Someone that can commit suicide can also kill himself/herself.

God wants His love to saturate our minds. When this happens we can transmit it!

No one can love others if they don’t love themselves first!

The love of God has been shared abroad in our hearts.

Receive the grace to acknowledge the love of God in You. You have to first receive this love. John 3:16

God loves You. God is not the reason why you are going through what you are going through. Not recognizing the love of God is a problem. Your opinion cannot change who God is; God is love.

God has shown us from His word, his nature and kind of love. One example is the parable of the prodigal son. God’s unconditional and unending love is evident in how He loves everyone regardless of what we have done.

The woman caught in adultery is another example of God not condemning anyone. He doesn’t approve of the sin. He loves You regardless!

God demonstrated His love to us in that while we were still sinners He died for us. Greater love hath no man than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friend

John 15:12, 13

When you feel loved your prayer attitude will change.



No responsibility is worth neglecting yourself and your health for. Do not neglect your health for any form of responsibility or commitment.

We are talking about loving God and loving your neighbour. A dead person cannot love God or any other person. You need to be alive to give love. God needs You here to love humanity. The more humanity you love, the more they will come to Christ.

There are deaths that were avoidable, a little rest, regular check-ups, eating and living healthy will do a lot of good.



You have to have a strong inner voice. Your inner voice determines your confidence levels. People that have low levels of confidence have given in doubts. Your perception is important.

Speak to yourself positively, tell yourself positive things.

Happiness and feeling good do not come from outside, it comes from the inside

Feel good about yourself, this is the only way you can impact people. When you lack confidence you can not influence people!



The quantity of love you have determines the levels of love you can transmit!

God wants the super star in you to manifest!



Receive God’s love. The starting point to receiving God’s love is SALVATION.



Your capacity to receive God’s love is increased and enlarged in Jesus name, Amen!



God’s Love is transmitted through You today in Jesus name!

The Word with Pastor Favour Onyekachi



Message Title: Why is my pain perpetual

Text: Jeremiah 15:18, 2 Corinthians 10:6, Isaiah 58:6 - 9,Matthew 6:7, Exodus 8:1

Your pain is not meant to be perpetual. No challenge is meant to last forever, there is no challenge in life, regardless of severity that is meant to last forever.

Scripture says “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”

1 Peter 5:10



Why is my pain perpetual, It is not because there is no balm in Gilead.

It is simply because some things are out of place

Your tears do not move the challenge, God watches over His word to perform it. You have to locate the right key to accessing the solution to the particular challenge you are experiencing.

The things of God are simple, it is man that complicates things for himself.



Why is my pain perpetual

You are not getting the principles right. 2 Corinthians 10:6.

God avenges disobedience when your obedience is complete



Here are the principles to engage:

1)  Fast

Fasting is good, but fasting in isolation can not get it done. Inclusive of your fasting, you also need to pray. Man is selfish naturally, fasting breaks the power of selfishness. There is the right way to fast - Isaiah 58:6 - 9

2)  Pray

When You pray, pray His word. He watches over His word, so pray His Word!

3) Serve God

There is a purpose to our lives, we do not live for ourselves. We have been created to fulfill God’s purpose. God spoke to Moses to tell Pharoah to let the Children of Israel go, SO THEY CAN SERVE HIM! Exodus 8:1

When You have resolved to serve God, God will kill Pharaoh and remove every hindrance on your path to serving Him!

Another challenge we have is that we want to serve God on our own terms and conditions. God is not a beggar, His ways are not our ways. There is a pattern to serving Him.



God sees our heart, He searches the intentions of the heart. When it is resolved in our heart, He sees it and moves on our behalf!

After Your obedience is complete, He intervenes!!!



Receive grace to fast, receive grace to pray, receive grace to serve, receive grace to give and to Praise.

After You have fasted, prayed, given and served, then shall the heart yield her increase!
