    024| THE PERCEPTION OF LOVE| TUESDAY TEACHING AND MIRACLE SERVICE

    Sermon Notes: The Perception of Love Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa  Main Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 14:1, Galatians 5:6, Mark 11:23-25, 1 Peter 3:8-12. I. The Purpose of the Church A Place for Healing: The church is meant for "offended" and "weak" people seeking God's help. Believers must be patient with one another's frailties. The Problem of Offense: Satan uses offense as leverage to break down churches. Leaving a church due to a personal hurt is often a sign of spiritual immaturity and selfishness. Spiritual Training: Being offended serves as a test to see how far your "love life" has actually developed. II. The Supernatural Power of Love (Agape) Faith’s Engine: According to Galatians 5:6, faith is "activated, energized, and expressed" through love. Without love, faith for miracles or breakthroughs will eventually shut down. Beyond Human Sentiment: While human love (Storge, Philia, Eros) is powerful, Agape is the "God-kind" of love that allows a believer to sacrifice for others and forgive even the deepest wrongs. Miracles through Love: Love has the power to cast out demons and bring healing where standard spiritual warfare might struggle. III. The Doctrine and Discipline of Forgiveness Unforgiveness as Poison: Holding onto a grudge is described as "drinking poison and expecting the other person to die". Blocked Prayers: Mark 11:25 teaches that before you pray for a mountain to move, you must first forgive anyone you have something against. No Conditional Forgiveness: Believers shouldn't wait for an apology to forgive. Forgiveness is a spiritual decision that reopens the door to God's favor. IV. Divine Protection and Long Life The "Eyes of the Lord": 1 Peter 3 promises that those who seek peace, avoid evil speech, and walk in love will enjoy divine protection and "good days". Escaping Satanic Traps: Walking in love keeps spiritual doors closed to the enemy. Bitterness often provides a foothold for demonic operations and physical sickness. V. Practical Application: How to Love Tenderheartedness: Replace hard-heartedness and stubbornness with a soft, easily entreated spirit. Courtesy and Respect: Love is evidenced in simple courtesy and how we treat those "below" us in social or spiritual status. Protecting Others: Love seeks to protect and cover the reputations of others rather than exposing their mistakes. Closing Challenge: Identify someone who has treated you unfairly and make the decision to bless them and pray for their welfare, thereby aligning your heart with the nature of God.

    023| THE PRACTICE OF LOVE: THE POWER FOR VICTORY| SUNDAY CELEBRATION SERVICE

    Sermon Notes: The Practice of Love: The Power for Victory  Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa   Main Scripture Focus: Galatians 5:6, Mark 11:23-25, 1 Peter 3:8-12, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. I. Love: The Engine of Faith The Activation of Power: Faith is not a standalone force; it is "activated, energized, and expressed" through love. The Cause of Stagnation: If your confessions of Scripture are not producing results, check your love walk. Bitterness and unforgiveness act as spiritual blockades to miracles. Maturity Over Gifting: The greatest measurement of spiritual growth is not the intensity of your tongues or the accuracy of a prophecy, but the depth of your love for others. II. The Danger of Offense and the "Gates of Hell" The Trap of Offense: Satan often uses offense as leverage to fight against the church. When you decide to leave a church or stop serving because of an offense, you are falling into a demonic snare. A "Hospital" Mindset: The church is not a place for perfect people; it is a place for the "sick, weak, and offended" looking for healing. We must accommodate each other's frailties. Selfishness in Conflict: Most offenses in the body of Christ are rooted in self-centeredness—being more concerned with one's own feelings than the unity of the body. III. Love as Divine Protection The Power of Forgiveness: Forgiveness is a spiritual decision, not an emotion. When you forgive, you close the doors that allow the enemy access to your life. The Consequences of Bitterness: Bitterness can cause physical sickness and spiritual blindness, leading a person to "not know where they are going". The "Eyes of the Lord": According to 1 Peter 3, long life, "good days," and divine protection are promised to those who keep their tongues from evil and seek peace. IV. Practical Love in Action The sermon outlines specific traits of Agape love that believers must practice: Suffering Long: Enduring difficult people with patience. Being Kind: actively seeking the welfare and happiness of others. Not Boasting or Being Proud: Operating without a sense of superiority or "puffing yourself up" over others. Keeping No Record of Wrongs: refusing to hold on to past hurts or using them against someone later. Protecting Others: Covering a brother or sister in private rather than exposing their weaknesses. V. Conclusion: The Victorious Walk Everything Else May Fail: Prophecies, tongues, and specialized knowledge are temporary and may fail or cease, but love is eternal and never fails. The Final Goal: The believer's "great quest" should be to attain a state where they speak the truth in love and grow into the full stature of Christ. Sermon Declaration: “I refuse to live a powerless or disconnected life. I choose to make love my great quest. From today, I reposition my life so that my faith is energized by love, my prayers are answered, and I walk in the total victory of God.”

    022| THE DOCTRINE OF GOD'S LOVE| TUESDAY TEACHING AND MIRACLE SERVICE

    Sermon Notes: The Doctrine of God's Love Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: 1 John 4:7-8, 1 Corinthians 12-14, Ephesians 4-5. I. The Essence of God is Love Divine Identity: God does not just "have" love; He is love. The New Birth Connection: Being "born of God" is inherently linked to love; knowing God is measured by your capacity to love. The Measuring Rod of Maturity: Spiritual growth isn't defined by the intensity of your faith or the frequency of your visions, but by your conduct in love. II. Love vs. Spiritual Gifts The Futility of Giftings Without Love: One can speak in tongues, prophesy, and understand mysteries, but without love, they are "nothing". Sacrifice (giving to the poor or giving one's body to be burned) profits nothing if not motivated by love. The More Excellent Way: Love is the primary "spiritual endowment" that should be eagerly pursued above all other gifts. III. Love in the Body of Christ The Five-Fold Ministry's Goal: Apostles, prophets, and teachers are given to equip the saints to "speak the truth in love," leading to a "perfect man" modeled after Christ. Collective Revelation: Jesus is best revealed to the world through the members of the church acting in love, rather than through individual spiritual manifestations. The Danger of Stagnation: People often leave churches not because they lack miracles, but because they lack the "picture of Christ" which is only visible through loving relationships. IV. The Hard Truth: Love and Sacrifice Walking in Love Means Dying: To walk in Agape love requires a "crucifixion" of the self. Forgiveness as Power: Love requires us to ignore offenses and love those who have treated us poorly—even when it is "righteous" to be angry. The Warning: Unforgiveness and bitterness act as "spiritual blockades" that hinder your prayer life and fellowship with God. V. Types of Love (Human vs. God-Kind) Human-Kind Love: Includes Storge (family/blood), Philia (friendship), and Eros (romantic). These are powerful but limited by human nature. God-Kind Love (Agape): A "liquid love" poured into the heart by the Holy Spirit. It is the only love capable of truly honoring God and producing eternal profit. Closing Declaration: “I choose to pursue love as my great quest. I will be an imitator of God by walking in love, allowing the Holy Spirit to stir my heart toward those who have hurt me, so that I may grow into the full measure of Christ.”

    021| KATARTIZO- CREATING YOUR MIRACLE WITH YOUR WORDS| MANDATE MIRACLE ENCOUNTER

    Sermon Notes: Katartizo – Creating Your Miracle with Your Words Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: Hebrews 11:3 – "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." I. Understanding "Katartizo" Definition: The Greek word Katartizo means to put in order, to restore, or to complete. The Blueprint of Creation: God did not use pre-existing material to create the world; He used His words. Words are the "building blocks" of the spirit realm. The Power to Repair: Just as a fisherman mends his nets (Katartizo), you can use your words to mend broken areas of your life—finances, health, or relationships. II. The Law of Confession Faith Must Speak: Faith is not passive. 2 Corinthians 4:13 says, "I believed and therefore I spoke." If you believe it but won't say it, you aren't fully exercising faith. The "Say-Check": Your words should not describe your problem; they should declare your solution. Don't say "I am sick"; say "By His stripes, I am healed." Alignment: Your mouth must be in agreement with God’s Word. When your confession aligns with Scripture, you give the Holy Spirit the "material" to work with in your life. III. Framing Your World You are the Architect: Your words are like the frame of a house. They set the boundaries and the structure of what you can experience. The Echo Effect: The circumstances you see today are often the "echoes" of words you spoke yesterday. To change the echo, you must change the original sound (your speech). Dominion through Speech: God gave man dominion. In the Kingdom of God, dominion is exercised through decrees. A king does not struggle; he speaks, and it is done. IV. Practical Steps to "Katartizo" Your Life Identify the Breach: Locate the area of your life that is out of order or "unframed." Find the Word: Search the Scriptures for a promise that addresses that specific need. Release the Sound: Consistently speak that Word over your situation. Do not be moved by what you see; stay focused on what you are saying. Refuse Contrary Talk: Stop "self-sabotaging" by speaking doubt, fear, or gossip, which tears down the frame you are trying to build. Key Quote: "Your world is a product of your words. If you don't like what you see, change what you are saying." Closing Prayer/Declaration: "I declare that my world is framed by the Word of God. I am mending every broken area of my life with my confession. My future is bright, my health is restored, and my paths are made straight by the power of my words. Amen."

    020| THE PRACTICE OF LOVE| SUNDAY CELEBRATION SERVICE

    Sermon Title:  THE PRACTICE OF LOVE Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 14:1, 1 Corinthians 13:1-8, John 14:21-23, Galatians 5:6. I. The Priority of Soul Winning The Mark of Wisdom: "He that wins souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:30). Eternal Impact: earthly fame and wealth are temporary, but the impact made in heaven through soul winning lasts forever. A Call to Action: Believers should pray to become "ardent soul winners," asking God to use their lives to bring others to righteousness. II. Love: The Most Excellent Way Beyond Gifts: One can speak in tongues, prophesy, or work miracles, but without love, they are merely a "clanging cymbal". The Measurement of Maturity: Spiritual growth is not measured by the depth of one's tongues or the number of visions they see, but by the dimension of their love. The Nature of Agape: This is a supernatural love that allows a person to sacrifice for others—even strangers—without expecting anything in return. III. The Manifestation of God through Love The Conditional Presence: Jesus promises to manifest Himself to those who love Him and keep His commandments. Check the "Love Meter": If you are not experiencing the presence of God, examine the genuineness of your love for Him and others. The Danger of Hypocrisy: Many in the church "smile but don't love." True love requires being real and honest, rather than pretending. IV. The Practical Dangers of Not Walking in Love Hindered Faith: According to Galatians 5:6, "faith worketh by love." Without love, faith for healing or miracles cannot produce results. Physical Sickness: Unforgiveness and hatred (e.g., toward family members) can manifest as physical ailments like high blood pressure or heart conditions. Loss of Members: People often leave churches not because of a lack of miracles, but because they do not feel the love and compassion of the community. V. Practicing Love Daily Love is an intentional action, not just an emotion. It involves: Suffering Long: Enduring annoying people with patience. Being Kind: Looking for ways to help others even when it is inconvenient. Not Being Easily Provoked: Refusing to take offense or seek revenge. Thinking No Evil: Choosing to see the best in people rather than being constantly suspicious. Closing Challenge: Identify one "difficult person" in your life this week and intentionally show them the Agape love of God.

    019| CREATING YOUR MIRACLE WITH WORDS| MANDATE MIRACLE ENCOUNTER

    CREATING YOUR MIRACLE WITH WORDS Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Theme:  CREATING YOUR MIRACLE WITH WORDS Core Message: The Christian life is inherently supernatural, and believers have the divine ability to "frame" or manufacture their reality through bold spiritual declarations. Scripture References Mark 16:17-18: These signs follow those who believe, including casting out devils, speaking in new tongues, and being unharmed by deadly things. Acts 1:8: "You shall receive power" (Greek: Dunamis), interpreted here as access to miracle-working ability. Hebrews 11:2: Through faith, the elders obtained a "good report" or divine testimony that did not exist before. Hebrews 11:3: "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God". Key Points & Sub-points 1. The Nature of Miracles External Intervention: A miracle is something that defies natural logic and requires external divine intervention to manifest. Replicability: Miracles are not random occurrences (intoms); they are replicable if one understands the spiritual laws and technology that govern them. Miracles as Atmosphere: Creating an atmosphere for the miraculous involves applying specific scriptural principles. 2. "Katartizo": The Technology of Framing Framing the World: The Greek word Katartizo means to mold, shape, fabricate, or manufacture using specific materials. Words as Building Materials: Just as God framed the universe with His word, believers use their words to frame their own systems and patterns (aeons) within the earth. Stability in the Word: Unlike opinions or feelings, the Word of God is immutable and provides the necessary stability for spiritual construction. 3. The Miracle in Your Mouth Bold Declaration: The sermon emphasizes that a believer’s miracle is tied to their speech. Speaking feelings or negative circumstances (e.g., "I don't have money") only frames more of that negative reality. Case Study (Philippa): A student was encouraged to speak boldly against a situation where her father's imported cars were being seized at the port. By refusing to sympathize with the problem and instead declaring a positive outcome, the situation was miraculously reversed by a higher authority. Changing the Atmosphere: Continual positive declaration acts like water vapor forming clouds; eventually, the "spiritual cloud" becomes heavy enough to pour out as a physical manifestation. Call to Action / Application Stop Speaking Feelings: Do not speak what you see or feel; speak what you believe according to God's Word. Boldness in Prayer: Approach God with boldness rather than timidity, as boldness activates spiritual power. Personal Confession: Actively declare strength, health, and abundance over your life to shift your spiritual atmosphere from one of bad luck (mattah) to one of divine favor.

    018| THE PRIORITY OF LOVE: YOUR GREATEST PURSUIT| SUNDAY CELEBRATION SERVICE

    Sermon Notes: THE PRIORITY OF LOVE: YOUR GREATEST PURSUIT Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, 1 Corinthians 14:1, Matthew 22:37-39, 1 John 4:7-8 I. The Core Mandate: Love as the Primary Pursuit The Greatest Quest: Love is not merely a spiritual option; it is the ultimate pursuit of the Christian life. The Supremacy of Love: While spiritual gifts like prophecy, tongues, and miracles are desirable, they are "nothing" and "meaningless" without the foundation of love. The Definition of Maturity: Spiritual growth is not measured by the intensity of one's spiritual gifts, but by one’s capacity to love and forgive others. A Law of Necessity: Following Christ requires prioritizing love as a command, not a suggestion—loving God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. II. The Purpose of Spiritual Power For the Body, Not the Individual: Spiritual gifts and anointing are given to serve and protect the "weaker" members of the church body, just as the most vulnerable parts of the human body are the most covered and cared for. Against Elitism: True spiritual power rejects social elitism; it does not favor the wealthy or educated over those who appear less prominent. Kingdom Value: Anointing is intended to bring deliverance and change to others, not to build a personal reputation as a "major prophet" or servant of God. III. The Dangers of Walking Without Love Pastor Okronipa identifies six grave dangers for those who neglect the walk of love: Faith Failure: Faith is "powered by love" (Galatians 5:6); if love is absent, your faith will stop working regardless of how many scriptures you confess. Hindered Prayers: Harboring offense or bitterness against anyone—including family or leadership—acts as a barrier that prevents God from answering your petitions. Disconnected Fellowship: Because "God is love," failing to love others means you are stepping out of alignment and fellowship with God's nature. Open Doors to the Enemy: Bitterness and unreleased anger provide a "foothold" for demonic oppression and spiritual instability. Zero Kingdom Profit: Even the most extreme sacrifices (like giving all your goods to the poor or giving your body to be burned) have "zero reward" if they are not rooted in love. Spiritual Blindness: Claiming to be in the "light" while hating a brother means you are actually walking in darkness and deception. IV. Practical Application Examine the "Heart-o-meter": Regularly check for hidden bitterness, jealousy, or envy that might be hindering your spiritual progress. Celebrate Others: Mature love celebrates the success, gifts, and strengths of others without the need for competition. Repent of Lovelessness: We must surrender ambitions and spiritual activities that are not rooted in the nature of Christ, which is love. Closing Thought: "To grow spiritually is to grow in God, and to grow in God is to grow in love, because God is love."

    017| MAKING THE LOVE OF CHRIST YOUR GREAT QUEST| TUESDAY TEACHING SERVICE

    Sermon Title: Making the Love of Christ Your Great Quest Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 13 & 14, 2 Thessalonians 3:5, Ephesians 5:1-2 I. The Mandate: Love as the Primary Pursuit In the Christian walk, there is a distinct hierarchy of spiritual priorities. While the church often emphasizes power and gifts, Scripture redirects our focus toward love as the "more excellent way." The Command to Pursue: 1 Corinthians 14:1 instructs us to "Pursue love." The Greek word used here is dioko, which means to eagerly chase or hunt, much like a predator pursues its prey. The Difference Between Desire and Quest: You are told to desire spiritual gifts but to make love your quest. You can desire something without chasing it, but a quest requires an intentional, life-altering pursuit. The Goal: Love must be your "bullseye"—the very center of your spiritual aim. II. The Futility of Gifts Without Love 1 Corinthians 13 highlights that the highest levels of spiritual operation are rendered useless if they are not fueled by love. 1. Spiritual Utterances If you speak in the tongues of men or even angels but lack love, you are merely a "sounding brass" or a "clanging cymbal." Without love, powerful prayer and tongues become an "empty sound" that is frustrating and irritating rather than transformative. 2. Revelation and Knowledge One can understand all mysteries and possess all knowledge, yet if love is absent, the person is "nothing." 3. Miracle-Working Faith Even faith that is powerful enough to remove mountains is profitless without the component of love. 4. Extreme Sacrifice Giving all your goods to the poor or even giving your body to be burned (martyrdom) profits you nothing if the motivation is not love. Correction on Human Love: Often, we mistake "kindness" or "human affinity" for God's love. True Agape goes beyond loving those in our circle; it is a supernatural disposition. III. The Superiority of Love The Bible establishes that love is the greatest of the abiding virtues. The Abiding Three: Faith, hope, and love remain, but love is the greatest. The More Excellent Way: 1 Corinthians 12:31 transitions into the love chapter by promising to show us a way that is superior to all spiritual offices and gifts. IV. Defining the Quest: Walking in the Love of God To pursue love is to pursue the very nature of God. Directed Hearts: 2 Thessalonians 3:5 is a prayer that the Lord "direct your hearts into the love of God." This implies that our hearts need divine navigation to stay aligned with His love. Imitating the Father: Ephesians 5:1-2 calls us to be "imitators of God" as dear children. The Standard of Christ: We are commanded to "walk in love, as Christ also has loved us." This is a sacrificial love—one that gives itself up as an offering. V. Practical Application: An Excellent Church An "excellent" church is not defined by its social gatherings or the fame of its leaders, but by its operation in love and the Spirit. Love Removes Barriers: When a church walks in the love of God, tribalism, social status, and personal offenses disappear. Gifts Flourishing in Love: Spiritual gifts (prophecy, healing, miracles) should be evident in the church, but they must be exercised through the "more excellent way" of love to be effective. A Burden for the People: The greatest drain on a leader is not the exercise of power, but the emotional labor of counseling those who are not walking in love and are thus easily frustrated or offended. Conclusion and Call to Action Make the love of God your Great Quest. Do not be satisfied with merely being "spiritual" or "gifted." Ask the Holy Spirit to direct your heart into a love that is sacrificial, consistent, and modeled after Jesus Christ. Prayer Point: "Lord, direct my heart into Your love. Let my life be an imitation of Christ's love in every word and action."
