    Covenant Hope in the Prison

    Send us a text Genesis 40 – Covenant Hope in the Prison: Dreams Remembered and Forgotten (Part 40 in the “God Keeping Covenant” Series)   Genesis 40 takes place entirely inside the prison, yet it is filled with divine activity. Joseph is: innocentfaithfulgifteddiscerningBut still confined. This chapter answers a painful question: “What do you do when God uses you—but does not yet release you?” Theme: God keeps covenant by sustaining hope, using spiritual gifts in obscurity, and positioning His servant for future elevation—even when people forget.   Genesis 40:1–4 — Two Officials Enter the Prison Pharaoh’s: chief cupbearerchief bakeroffend Pharaoh and are imprisoned where Joseph is. Joseph is assigned to serve them. Covenant Lesson: God positions covenant people near future breakthroughs long before release.   Genesis 40:5–8 — Dreams and Discernment Both men dream the same night.

    Genesis 39 - Covenant Integrity Under Pressure

    Send us a text 📘 Genesis 39 – Covenant Integrity Under Pressure: Joseph in Potiphar’s House Genesis 39 answers one of the hardest spiritual questions believers ask: “If God is with me, why am I suffering?” Joseph is: betrayed by his brotherssold into slaveryseparated from familyfalsely accusedunjustly imprisonedYet four times in this chapter the Bible declares: “The LORD was with Joseph.” Genesis 39 teaches that God’s covenant presence does not prevent hardship—but it guarantees purpose, protection, and promotion in God’s time. Theme: God keeps covenant by honoring integrity, remaining present in adversity, and preparing His servants for future elevation.   Genesis 39:1–2 — Joseph Sold, God Still Present Joseph is sold to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh. “And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man.” Joseph has: no freedomno familyno rightsYet he prospers — not because of position, but because of presence. Covenant Lesson: Prosperity is not about where you are, but who is with you.   Genesis 39:3–6 — Favor in the House of Potiphar Potiphar notices: everything Joseph touches prospersGod’s favor rests on himJoseph is promoted to overseer of the entire house. Covenant Lesson: Integrity attracts favor, even in ungodly environments. Illustration: A believer excelling at work so much that even unbelievers recognize God’s hand.   Genesis 39:7 — Temptation Arrives Potiphar’s wife repeatedly says: “Lie with me.” This is not a one-time temptation — it is persistent. Covenant Lesson: Promotion often brings temptation.   Genesis 39:8–10 — Joseph Refuses Sin Joseph gives four reasons: His master trusts himHe has authority over everythingShe is Potiphar’s wife“How can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?”Joseph sees sin as first against God, not just people. Covenant Lesson: Covenant integrity fears God more than consequences.   Genesis 39:11–12 — Joseph Flees Joseph runs — leaving his garment behind. Covenant Lesson: Sometimes the most spiritual move is to run. Illustration: Joseph lost his coat again — but kept his character.   Genesis 39:13–18 — False Accusation Potiphar’s wife lies and accuses Joseph of assault. She uses the garment as “evidence.” Covenant Lesson: Integrity does not prevent false accusations. Genesis 39:19–20 — Joseph Imprisoned Potiphar is angry and throws Joseph into prison. This is unjust punishment. Covenant Lesson: Doing right does not guarantee immediate justice.   Genesis 39:21 — God With Joseph in Prison “But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy.” Even in prison: God’s presence remainsGod’s favor continuesCovenant Lesson: You cannot outrun God’s covenant presence — not even in prison.   Genesis 39:22–23 — Promotion in Prison Joseph is put in charge of the prisoners. “Because the LORD was with him, and whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper.” Joseph is still leading — even in chains.

    The Benefits of Prayer and Fasting

    Send us a text The Benefits of Prayer and Fasting Primary Texts: Matthew 17:21; Isaiah 58:6; Acts 13:2–3 Prayer and fasting are heaven’s invitation for earth to line up with God’s agenda. Prayer is how we speak to God; fasting is how we silence everything else that speaks louder than God. Many believers pray, but fewer fast—and that is why some victories are delayed, some breakthroughs are partial, and some chains remain intact. Prayer alone is powerful, but prayer joined with fasting is transformative. Fasting does not make God move faster—fasting makes us more sensitive, more obedient, and more spiritually aligned. When Jesus spoke of prayer and fasting, He did not say if you fast—He said when you fast (Matthew 6). That tells us fasting is not optional for spiritual maturity. Illustration (Intro): When a car is out of alignment, you can still drive it—but the ride is rough, the tires wear unevenly, and you burn more fuel than necessary. Prayer keeps the engine running. Fasting brings alignment. Without alignment, you’ll move—but not efficiently, not smoothly, and not victoriously.   KEY POINT 1: Prayer and Fasting Release Higher-Level Spiritual Authority Scripture: Matthew 17:21 “This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” This verse teaches us that not all battles are equal. Some demons respond to prayer; others respond only when prayer is fortified with fasting. Fasting deepens your spiritual rank—not because you become stronger, but because your flesh becomes weaker. When you fast, you step into a realm where your authority is recognized in the spirit world. You’re not louder—but you’re weightier. Illustration: A whisper from a judge carries more authority than a shout from a civilian. Fasting doesn’t make you louder—it gives spiritual weight to your prayers.   KEY POINT 2: Prayer and Fasting Humble Us and Break Fleshly Dominance Scripture: Psalm 35:13 “I humbled my soul with fasting…” Fasting is God’s divine tool for humbling the soul. Pride feeds the flesh; fasting starves it. Many spiritual struggles persist because the flesh is still in control—appetites, emotions, habits, and attitudes. Fasting reminds the body it is not in charge. When the flesh steps back, the spirit steps forward. Short Story: Someone once said, “My body tells me what time it’s time to eat—but fasting teaches my body to listen instead of lead.”   KEY POINT 3: Prayer and Fasting Open the Door to Clear Direction and Divine Guidance Scripture: Daniel 9:3 “I set my face toward the Lord God… with fasting.” Daniel did not fast out of desperation—he fasted for revelation. Confusion often exists because too many voices are speaking. Fasting quiets the noise so God’s voice can rise above distractions. Direction is rarely absent because God is silent—it is absent because we are distracted. Illustration: Just as muddy water must settle before it becomes clear, fasting allows the soul to settle so clarity can emerge.   KEY POINT 4: Prayer and Fasting Align Our Will with God’s Will Scripture: Matthew 6:10 “Thy will be done…” Fasting shifts us from demanding answers to surrendering desires. It breaks the cycle of telling God what we want and positions us to receive what He wants. Many prayers go unanswered because they are misaligned. Fasting realigns the heart. Illustration: A GPS only works when it knows your true location. Fasting tells God, “Here I really am—now lead me.”   KEY POINT 5: Prayer and Fasting Break Yokes and Release Spiritu Support the show

    The Covenant Advances Through Joseph

    Send us a text Genesis 37 – The Covenant Advances Through Joseph: Dreams, Destiny, and Betrayal (Part 37 in the “God Keeping Covenant” Series) Genesis 37 begins the Joseph narrative, which will run through Genesis 50. Joseph is not just a dreamer — he is God’s chosen instrument to protect the covenant family. This chapter teaches us: Covenant destiny often begins with dreamsGod reveals purpose before preparationFavor can provoke jealousyBetrayal does not cancel destinyTheme: God keeps covenant by advancing His purpose through suffering, discipline, and divine providence. Genesis 37:1–2 – Joseph Introduced Joseph is 17 years old and tending sheep with his brothers. He brings a bad report about them to his father. Covenant Lesson: Calling often reveals itself early, but immaturity can complicate destiny. Genesis 37:3–4 – Jacob’s Favoritism Jacob loves Joseph more than the others and gives him a coat of many colors. This garment symbolizes: FavorAuthorityDistinctionThe brothers hate Joseph because of this favoritism. Covenant Lesson: Favor without wisdom can provoke unnecessary conflict.   Genesis 37:5–8 – Joseph’s First Dream Joseph dreams his brothers’ sheaves bowing to his. He shares the dream — and hatred increases. Covenant Lesson: Not everyone is mature enough to hear your dream. Illustration: Destiny is revealed in stages — discretion is part of preparation.   Genesis 37:9–11 – Joseph’s Second Dream The sun, moon, and stars bow to Joseph. Even Jacob rebukes him — yet keeps the saying in mind. Covenant Lesson: God-given dreams often disturb family order before they fulfill divine order. Genesis 37:12–14 – Joseph Sent to His Brothers Jacob sends Joseph to check on his brothers. This act unknowingly sends Joseph into his destiny. Covenant Lesson: God uses ordinary obedience to move us toward extraordinary purpose. Genesis 37:15–17 – A Divine Detour Joseph gets lost, but a man redirects him to Dothan. Covenant Lesson: Divine detours are not accidents — God directs steps even when we feel lost. Genesis 37:18–20 – Plot to Kill Joseph The brothers call him: “Here comes this dreamer!” They plan murder. Covenant Lesson: Dreams attract spiritual opposition. Genesis 37:21–24 – Reuben Intervenes Reuben plans to rescue Joseph later. Joseph is stripped of his coat and thrown into a pit. Covenant Lesson: God may allow us to be placed in pits — but not abandoned there. Genesis 37:25–28 – Joseph Sold into Slavery Judah suggests selling Joseph. Joseph is sold for 20 pieces of silver. This foreshadows Christ. Covenant Lesson: God can use betrayal as a bridge to destiny. Genesis 37:29–30 – Reuben’s Horror Reuben returns and is devastated. Covenant Lesson: Delayed obedience can cost opportunities. Genesis 37:31–33 – Deception of Jacob The brothers dip Joseph’s coat in blood. Jacob believes Joseph is dead. Covenant Lesson: Deception destroys families and multiplies grief. Genesis 37:34–36 – Joseph in Egypt Jacob mourns deeply. Joseph is sold to Potiphar in Egypt.

    Making Spiritual Preparation for Greater things to Come

    Send us a text Announcements for this week – Pastoral Teaching 7pm Wednesday Pastoral Teaching  www.facebook.com/owcoc Why Fast – Prophetic Doreen -When should we fast – Minister Micheal  Different Types of Fasts – Exalter Reid – Benefits of Fasting – Bishop Tucker     Making Spiritual Preparation for Greater things to Come Getting Spiritually, Mentally, and Physically Fit for the Manifestation of God’s Work   1 Corinthians 2:9-10 - But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.  Verse 7 says But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,   Hidden wisdom describes what the natural mind cannot see, deep things describe what only the Spirit can reveal.  Prayer sharpens revelation, Fasting disciplines perception, Spiritual fitness prepares us to receive God’s deep wisdom.    1 Corinthians 2:12 - “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.” Many believers shout about verse 9, but few read on to verses 10 through 14, where Paul explains how those greater things are revealed. He says they are revealed by the Spirit, discerned spiritually, and understood only by those who are spiritually prepared.  In other words, the limitation is not what God has prepared, the limitation is what we are prepared to receive.  Before God manifests His power publicly, He prepares His people privately. Before the Jordan River parted, God told the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” Before fire fell from heaven, the altar had to be repaired. Before resurrection power was revealed, Jesus prayed and fasted. Prayer aligns us. Fasting disciplines us. Obedience positions us. A miracle is not just something God does for us—it is something God does through a prepared life.   Acronyms for fasting  F – Forsaking the flesh A – Aligning with God’s will S – Submitting self to God T – Trusting God completely I – Intensifying prayer N – Nurturing the spirit G – Growing in grace Spiritual preparation through prayer, fasting, and self-discipline positions us for the manifestation of God’s work. Point 1: Moses Prepared Through Fasting—and Encountered God’s Glory Moses spent forty days and forty nights fasting in the presence of the Lord. The Bible says in Exodus 34:28 that he neither ate bread nor drank water while receiving the covenant from God. Because Moses prepared himself, he did not just receive information—he encountered transformation. When he came down from the mountain, his face shone with the glory of God. This teaches us that deep preparation leads to deep revelation. If we want God’s direction, we must be willing to make room for it.   Point 2: Esther Fasted Before Acting—and a Nation Was Saved When Esther learned that her people were marked for destruction, she did not rush into action. She called for a fast and said in Esther 4:16, “Neither eat nor drink for three days… an Support the show

    The Crisis of the Tilted Life

    Send us a text The Crisis of the "Tilted" Life We live in a culture of "The Lean." We lean into our careers until our families fall over. We lean into our digital lives until our mental health collapses. We lean into "doing" for God until we forget how to "be" with God. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 is Paul’s "Wholeness Mandate." He doesn't just wish for your heart to be right; he prays for your whole being—the Greek word is holokleros, meaning "complete in every part." If you are spiritually "saved" but emotionally "shattered" and physically "spent," you are out of balance. And in the kingdom of God, what is out of balance is eventually destined to break. Today, we look at 7 keys to finding that center before the world pushes you over. 1. The Trinity of the Human Design We are not just one-dimensional beings. We are a "three-in-one" creation, reflecting the image of a Triune God. Spirit (Pneuma): Your God-consciousness.Soul (Psyche): Your self-consciousness (mind, will, emotions).Body (Soma): Your world-consciousness (your physical vessel).The Depth: If you only feed the spirit, you become "too heavenly minded to be any earthly good." If you only feed the body, you become carnal. True survival in 2026 requires a "Through and Through" synchronization.2. The Spirit: The "Gyroscope" of the Soul Illustration: In aviation, a gyroscope allows a pilot to know where the horizon is, even when flying through thick clouds or upside down. The Key: Your spirit is your internal horizon. When the "clouds" of life (inflation, illness, family drama) hit, your soul and body will feel like they are spinning.The Expansion: Neglecting the spirit means losing your "Up." If your prayer life is nonexistent, you have no fixed point. You will eventually "fly into the ground" because you thought you were level when you were actually diving.3. The Soul: The Battleground of the "Middleman" The soul (mind/emotions) sits between the spirit and the body. It is the most taxed part of the modern human. The Story: Consider a bridge designed to hold 10 tons, but 50 tons of traffic are crossing it every hour. Eventually, the bridge develops "stress fractures."The Key: Many of us have stress fractures in our souls. We are "fine" until one small thing—a traffic jam or a rude comment—causes a total meltdown. Balancing the soul means intentional "unplugging." It means taking your thoughts captive before they take you prisoner.4. The Body: The Temple’s Foundation Paul prays for the body to be kept "blameless." This is radical! He is saying that how you treat your heart rate and your sleep schedule is a matter of holiness. The Deep Dive: We often ask God for a "miracle of strength" when He already gave us the "discipline of rest."The Illustration: A high-performance luxury car. If you never change the oil or check the tires, it doesn't matter how expensive the engine is; it will eventually stall on the highway. Your body is the "vehicle" for your calling. If the vehicle breaks, the mission stops.5. The "Sanctify Through and Through" Process The Greek word for "sanctify" (hagiazo) means to set apart for a specific purpose. The Point: God wants to set apart your sleep for His glory. He wants to set apart your thought-life for His glory.The Expansion: True balance happens when there is no "secular" and "sacred" divide.

    Total Preparation for God's Wonders

    Send us a text Sanctify Yourself: Total Preparation for God’s Wonders Theme: Total Fitness — Spirit, Soul, and Body Text: Joshua 3:5 (KJV) “And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” Introduction — Total Fitness Before Total Breakthrough Church, Joshua 3 places Israel at a turning point. They are no longer wandering, but they have not yet arrived. Behind them is the wilderness; ahead of them is promise. Between them stands the Jordan River—overflowing at flood stage. And Moses is gone. Leadership has shifted. Seasons have changed. Before God touches the river, Joshua addresses the people and gives one command: “Sanctify yourselves.” This is not just a spiritual phrase—it is a total-life instruction. Joshua is saying, Get ready in your whole being. In today’s language, Joshua is calling Israel to Total Fitness—spirit, soul, and body—because you cannot step into a new season with an unprepared life. God does not just want spiritually excited people with emotionally cluttered souls and undisciplined bodies. God’s wonders flow through whole, aligned lives. Before tomorrow’s wonders, there must be today’s total preparation. Sermon Body — Total Fitness in Action 1. God Prepares the Whole Person Before He Moves the People Joshua doesn’t say, “Pack up.” He says, “Sanctify.” Why? Because where God is taking you requires more than movement—it requires maturity. Spirit: Align with GodSoul: Renew your mind and emotionsBody: Get ready to move in obedienceYou can’t cross a flooded Jordan out of shape spiritually, unstable emotionally, and undisciplined physically. 2. Sanctification Begins in the Spirit Sanctification starts with the spirit—our connection to God. Prayer, repentance, worship, obedience—this is spiritual conditioning. Just like an athlete trains before the game, believers must strengthen their spirit before stepping into challenge. If your spirit is weak, everything else struggles. 3. Sanctification Continues in the Soul The soul is the mind, will, and emotions. Israel had wilderness thinking—fear, doubt, complaining. God could part rivers, but He had to reset their mindset. Some of us are spiritually saved but emotionally stuck. Sanctification says: Let go of bitternessRelease fearRenew your thinkingYou can’t carry old trauma into new territory. 4. Sanctification Shows Up in the Body Faith is not passive. Bodies had to walk. Feet had to step. Priests had to carry the ark. God didn’t float Israel across the Jordan—He made them walk through it. Your body matters: DisciplineConsistencyObedient actionYou can believe God all day, but if your feet don’t move, nothing changes. 5. Tomorrow’s Wonders Depend on Today’s Total Obedience Joshua says, “Tomorrow the Lord will do wonders.” But sanctification was required today. Spirit obeys todaySoul aligns todayBody responds todayYou can’t expect a breakthrough with partial obedience. Total fitness leads to total victory. 6. God Does Wonders Among Aligned People The Bible says God would do wonders among them. That means: United spiritsHarmonized soulsWilling bodiesJust like a healthy Support the show
