    Blessed Are the Peacemakers! (Part 2)/Pastor Femi Paul/Interactive MidWeek Service

    Continuing our teaching on peacemaking, Pastor Femi Paul showed us that peacemakers should be distinctly attractive in a world increasingly marked by conflict, strife and turmoil. Philippians 2 calls us to live without complaining and division, becoming a breath of fresh air and giving people a glimpse of God through the way we live. While Scripture warns of a culture where people become quarrelsome, difficult to reconcile and even unwilling to make peace, the children of God are called to be different: peace-loving, gentle, reasonable and quick to mend fences. Peacemaking, however, does not happen automatically. God reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, calling us to work at restoring our relationships with one another. James 3 reminds us that healthy communities are built when we do the hard work of getting along, treating one another with dignity and honour, being willing to listen, yield and extend mercy. Every response therefore plants a seed. When we choose peace, we plant seeds that can produce a harvest of goodness. Peacemakers don't merely desire peace; they work for it, plant it and help it grow. Prayer: Lord, thank You for reconciling me to Yourself through Jesus Christ. Make me a true peacemaker: gentle, reasonable, merciful and quick to mend fences. Keep strife, quarrelling and division far from me. Give me the wisdom and humility to do the hard work of getting along with others, treating everyone with dignity and honour. May I plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of goodness. Amen.

    Blessed Are the Peacemakers!/Pastor Femi Paul/Special Interactive Sunday Service

    At our Special Interactive Sunday Service, Pastor Femi Paul brought us God’s Word titled “BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!” Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and He has given us His peace; therefore, those who belong to Him should become carriers, makers and maintainers of peace. Drawing from Matthew 5:9, we saw that peacemaking is more than avoiding conflict. It means actively working for peace, helping people live together in peace and allowing the character of our Father to be seen through us. If we are ambassadors of Christ, we must also be ambassadors of peace. The message challenged us to examine what we contribute to our relationships, families and the body of Christ. Scripture tells us to pursue peace, work at living peacefully with everyone and let the peace of Christ rule our hearts. As people who have received the ministry of reconciliation, our responsibility is not to fuel division, competition or conflict, but to help restore relationships and show people how to cooperate. Peace is both our privilege and responsibility. In a world where many are ready for a fight, may it be said of us: “I am in favour of peace.” Prayer: Lord Jesus, Prince of Peace, thank You for giving me Your peace. Let Your peace rule my heart, thoughts, words and relationships. Give me the wisdom and humility to make peace, maintain peace and help others live in peace. As Your ambassador, may I faithfully carry Your ministry of reconciliation and express Your character everywhere I go. Amen.

    BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, FOR NOTHING AT ALL!/Pastor Femi Paul/Premium Worship & Prayers Service

    At our Premium Worship & Prayers (PWP) service, Pastor Femi Paul brought us God’s Word titled “BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, FOR NOTHING AT ALL!” We were reminded that anxiety is often future-facing, filling our minds with worry about what might happen before it ever does. If we do not control anxiety, it can begin to control our lives, affecting our thoughts, peace and responses. Yet Philippians 4 gives us God’s alternative: “Be anxious for nothing.” Instead of allowing our needs, struggles and uncertainties to become worry, fear or complaint, we are called to bring everything to God through prayer, thanksgiving and worship. The message showed us that the answer to anxiety is not pretending that our concerns do not exist, but changing what we do with them. We turn our worries into prayers, keep the Lord before us, and allow the assurance of His presence to become greater than the uncertainty before us. As prayer and praise rise to God, His peace guards our hearts and minds, and we can confidently say, “It shall be well.” When our focus remains on the Lord, fear gives way to faith, anxiety gives way to peace, and our hearts can rejoice and safely rest in hope. PWP changes things! Prayer: Lord, search my heart and reveal every anxious thought within me. I surrender my worries, fears and uncertainties to You and choose prayer, thanksgiving and worship instead of complaint. Help me to keep You continually before me, confident that You are close by my side. Let Your peace guard my heart and mind, and teach me to rest safely in hope. It shall be well with me. Amen.

    Our God The Source of Sufficiency and Surplus/Minister Kunle Lijadu/Hymnal & Pure Worship Service

    Minister Kunle Lijadu taught on “Our God: The Source of Sufficiency and Surplus.” We were reminded that God reveals Himself as El Shaddai—the Almighty and All-Sufficient God. Abraham’s circumstances may have made God’s promise appear impossible, but the fulfilment of that promise never depended on Abraham’s sufficiency; it depended on God’s. This is why our confidence cannot ultimately rest in our abilities, resources or circumstances. God is our Source, and trusting Him means recognising that whatever He has promised, He possesses everything necessary to accomplish. We saw this same truth when Jesus fed the multitude with five loaves and two fish. What appeared insufficient became more than enough when placed in His hands. God therefore calls us neither to idleness nor self-sufficiency, but to dependence accompanied by diligent action: we work faithfully, steward what He has given us, and trust Him to bless and multiply it. When we remain connected to the Source, we discover that El Shaddai is able not only to meet our needs but to produce sufficiency that overflows into surplus. Prayer: Father, thank You for being El Shaddai, my Almighty and All-Sufficient God. Deliver me from self-sufficiency and teach me to depend completely on You. As I faithfully use what You have placed in my hands, bless and multiply it, and let my life continually experience Your sufficiency and surplus. Amen.

    The Important Thing!/Pastor Femi Paul/Interactive MidWeek Service

    At our Interactive Midweek Service, Pastor Femi Paul brought us God’s Word titled “THE IMPORTANT THING.” Drawing from the encounter with Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38–42, we were reminded that it is possible to be occupied with many legitimate things and still miss the one thing that is important, necessary and essential. Martha was busy, worried and troubled about many things, while Mary had discovered what mattered most and chose it. Pastor Femi warned us about distractions, including those that can appear subtle and justifiable, because not everything demanding our attention deserves our time, energy or resources. Distractions can exhaust productive energy, steal peace, consume precious years and leave us busy without necessarily moving towards God’s purpose for our lives. Beware of time wasters. The message therefore called us to discern what truly matters and discover it on time. Psalm 119 reminds us that God’s Word brings light, understanding and direction, illuminating the path ahead so that we can navigate life wisely. Success is not simply doing more things or pursuing what matters to everyone around us; success happens when we discover what really matters concerning our own God-given journey and give ourselves to it. Mary discovered the better thing and chose it. In the same way, we need the light of God’s Word to separate the essential from the unnecessary, purpose from distraction, and what merely looks urgent from what is truly important. May we discover what really matters concerning our success in life, on time, in good time, and before it is too late. Prayer: Lord, let the entrance of Your Word bring light and understanding to my life. Give me discernment to recognise distractions, including those that appear reasonable and justifiable. Help me not to waste my time, energy or years pursuing what does not truly matter. May I quickly discover what really matters concerning my success in life. May I discover it on time, in good time, and before it is too late. Amen.
