FLEE FROM YOUTHFUL LUST.

MINISTERING:- PASTOR SAMUEL OKECHUKWU JONAH.

SCRIPTURE: 2 Timothy 2:22

MEMORY VERSE: “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.” – Proverbs 1:10

The MESSAGE:

Lust is a strong emotional pull that is meant to drag a person into the pit of destruction. The world today is filled with all sorts of profane and vain activities and uncontrolled emotions such as lust.

Lust refers to unrestrained craving for something. It could be money, power, sex, etc, and it is one of the major temptations facing all of us today, especially our youths (young adults). The youths are mostly caught in the web of lust because of the adventurous nature of their age grade. As believers, Jesus urged

us to flee from all appearances of evil, or simply put, youthful lusts.

The Bible says some important things about lust, which we must consider:

It says that the lust of the flesh entails fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind (Ephesians 2:3).

It tells us that lust is of the world and not of the Father (1 John 2:16).

It admonishes us not to make provision for the flesh to fulfill the lusts, but to put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).

It tells us to “Flee” (Run away from) youthful lusts but follow righteousness (2 Timothy 2:22).

The story of Amnon and Tamar (2 Samuel 13:1-39) shows the destruction that follows yielding to lust. Amnon received wrong advice from his friends, Jonadab, to follow through with the lust he had for his sister. Rather than flee, he (Amnon) had his way with his sister. He faced the consequence of his actions, not immediately but two years later when Absalom ordered servants to kill him. Yielding to lust is a channel the enemy uses to terminate destinies. Therefore, we must be vigilant and prayerful. We must also ask for God’s help to retrace our steps wherever we have gone astray.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:

FLEE YOUTHFUL LUSTS AND FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS.

PROPHETIC WORD:

The LORD will separate you from evil friends.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

Jesus, the Good Shepherd, lead me back to the right path wherever I have gone astray, in the name of Jesus.

I render ineffective, every plan of the enemy to waste my life through lust, in the name of Jesus.

My Father, separate evil friends from me, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

I uproot anything that the Father has not planted in my life, in the name of Jesus.

Agenda of the enemy to bring me down, fail, in the name of Jesus.

Every plantation of lust in my life, be uprooted by fire, in the name of Jesus.

O God my Father, deliver me from the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, in the name of Jesus.

AVOID THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT

 MINISTERING PASTOR SAMUEL OKECHUKWU JONAH

(EXODUS 22-18)

We would be talking about witchcraft activities and seen

certain things that people do that are related to witchcraft.

Four Things You Should Take Note About Witchcraft!

1:- The spirit of envy and jealousy:- Witchcraft operates with much envy and jealousy,also take not brethren anywhere witchcraft operates you discover high volume of poverty.

The old men envying young men that is a symptom of witchcraft (GENESIS 37-3)

2:- Witchcraft operates in high hatred.

3:- Witchcraft operates in manipulations. (ACTS 8-9) Avoid the sin of witchcraft through manipulation.

4:- Disobedience and rebellion is at the sin of witchcraft, a rebellious person is someone who refuses to take directives. (SAMUEL 15-22)

Guard your heart against hatred, jealousy, envy, bitterness and other vices; because EVERY EVIL you HARBOUR against someone, GETS YOU STRANDED and when that happens, it BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE to walk in the miraculous.

Challenges and problems are not the same. Challenges make champions by overcoming them!

You are running to win a race, you cant be looking at people that are insulting you.

You may lose every other thing but do not lose your faith. You must protect your faith because faith failure is an absolute failure.

For every troubled family, the tension in your home ends right now!

THE POWER OF UNITY PSALM 133

MINISTERING PASTOR SAMUEL OKECHUKWU JONAH

The Power of Unity... psalm 133

What does the word Unity mean...Well, #1 it means oneness, Perfect harmony, All in one agreement,

Ps 133...-3

Eph 4:3...Endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of Peace.

Eph 4:13. Till we all come in the unity of the Faithand of the knowledge of the son of God unto a prefect man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

1 cor.1:10.... Now I beseech you brethren by the name of our lord Jesus Christ that we all speak the same thing and that there be no division among you but you be perfectly join together in the same mind and in the same judgement.

2 cor.13:11...Finally brethren farewell be prefect, be of good confort be of one mind live in peaceand the God of love and peace shall be with you.

1 peter. 3:8.... Finally be ya all of one mind having compassion one of another love as brethren be pitiful and be courteous.

Amos 3:5... How can two walk together unless they agree?

IT SEEMS THAT GOD PLACES THE HIGHEST VALUE ON THIS THING CALLED UNITY.

There is complete unity in the Godhead, The Father, the son, and the holy goust.

When the people of God come together in unity it’s a beautiful and powerful thing.

Now what do I mean by that there is power in unity?

Let’s consider some facts

 Customize this sermon

#1 consider the power in a team of horses pulling a plow.

#2 consider the power in a Train being pulled by 3 engines

#3 consider the power of Prayer when 2 or more agree.

#4 consider the power that’s in love when Family member’s come together and help each other in time of need or destruction.

#5 consider the power that’s in strength to a family who’s Focus is on God.

#6 consider the power that’s in soul winning when all is focus on it.

{Story of Steven pope bus ministry}

WHAT AM I SAYING?

THERE IS POWER IN UNITY.

Whether it is for good or bad.

Consider those same team horses one going one way and the other trying to go the other way.

Consider a husband and wife, both with a good ideal about something. But one wants it this way while the other wants it another way.

AGAIN ...AMOS.3: 3 HAVE A QUESTION CAN TWO WALK TOGETHER EXCEPT THEY ARE AGREED.

LET’S LOOK AT PS. 133 A LITTLE CLOSER.

LET’S DO A QUICK WORD STUDY.

Focus on the word Together in the Hebrew it is { yachdaw} ...and it means ......all alike, equally, all at once. All together. --------- It apper’s about 92 times in the Old Testament ... And this is what it inplys ...A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE IN ACTION...

SAY IT WITH ME...THERE IS POWER IN UNITY.

Look AT THE WORD OINTMEANT

IN THE HERBREW. IS SEMEN...AND IT MEAN’S FAT, OIL,IT has a very wide Range of Meaning’s . It implies a picture of RICHNESS, AND STRENGH, AND BEING FERTILE.

NOW, SOME ONE ASK THE QUESTION ...WHERE’S THE APPLACTION FOR ME IN THIS MESSAGE?

I BELEIVE GOD IS WANTING US AT TROUTMAN TO COME TOGETHERIN UNITY...

Some one could stand up and say this...We are in unity at this church. ...THEN WHY DID GOD LAY THIS MESSAGE ON MY HEART?

IN ACT’S 2 WHEN ALL WAS IN ONE ACCORD THE WIND BLEW ...AND YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY.

God has a plan for this church, and I believe he is trying to put it together.

THERE IS 4 AREAS THAT THE LORD SHARED WITH ME IN THIS MESSAGE CONCERNING THIS CHURCH AND UNITY.

SAY IT WITH ME ...THERE IS POWER IN UNITY.

#1 IN OUR FELLOWSHIP WITH EACH OTHER.

There are some here that need’s to make mends’ with other’s some one need’s to forgive someone and re kindle the fellowship that once was.

#2 GOD SEE’S THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR UNITY IN RATIONSHIP WITH SPOUSE’S.

An old time "preacher" said it this way... That if every married couple would strife to please each other more than they’re self... There would NEVER be anoth argument.

#3 UNITY IN OUR HOMES AS A FAMILY.

I believe we all could work on this one.

#4 WE NEED UNITY IN THIS CHURCH IN THE WAY OF OUR GIVING.

SOME ONE IS ABOUT TO SAY; YOU ARE GOING OVER YOUR BOUNDERS NOW. BUT I HAVE GOT TO SHARE WHAT THE LORD HAS TOLD ME TOO.

#1 there are some here that never give a tithe to God.

#2 there are some here that Tithe ever now and again. And you really think you are being pleasing to god.

#3 there are some here that tithe faithfully, but only give an offer every now and again, and you think that’s pleasing too the lord.

BUT I WANT TO REMIND US ALL THIS MORNING THAT BASED UPON BOOK OF MAICH,

WHEN YOU GIVE TITHE.S WITHOUT AN OFFERING YOU ARE STILL ROBBING GOD...

YOUR BLESSING COME’S FROM THE OFFERING, NOT THE TITHE, BECAUSE THE TITHE IS ALL READY GOD’S.

CONSIDER A FOOT BALL TEAM PLAYING IN A GAME IF EVERY PLAYER DOES NOT GIVE ALL THAT’S REQUIRE OF HIM TO PLAY. THEY WILL NEVER REACH THE PLACE WHERE THEY COULD HAVE GONE.

NOW what happens if I do all this?

Look at Ps. 133 again...let’s read it.

GOD POUR’S OUR RICHNESS, STRENGTH, AND GIVES US FERTILE GROUND.

AND THEN HE COMMANDS THE BLESSING TO COME.

OH! WHO HERE WILL DARE JUST TO BELIEVE GOD?

WHEN JESUS SAYS YES.

MINISTERING:-PASTOR SAMUEL OKECHUKWU JONAH

But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. . . . So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.

2 Corinthians 3:14, 18 NLT

I want to encourage you to be consumed with the person of Jesus. God’s Word says that “you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption” (1 Cor. 1:30 NIV).

Jesus Himself is your wisdom, your righteousness, and also your holiness!

The Greek word used here for “holiness” is hagiasmos, the same Greek word used for “sanctification.” Our holiness or sanctification is found in the person of Jesus.

So whenever you have an unclean thought, or a stirring in you, or a temptation to sin, stop for a while and look at Jesus. See the cross. See and experience His love, forgiveness, and grace for you afresh. Jesus is your victory over every temptation, addiction, and bondage!

Some people believe that all you have to do is say no to temptation. But you know what? Your willpower is no match for sin. The reality is, the more you try to say no by your own efforts, the worse it becomes.

The apostle Paul describes this very struggle, which he himself experienced: “For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice” (Rom. 7:19).

So the answer is not to depend on your willpower to say no to temptation, but to depend on God’s grace and say yes to Jesus! In the midst of your struggle and temptation, say YES to Jesus. Say, “Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are my righteousness, my holiness, and my redemption.” Turn every temptation into an opportunity to look to and praise Jesus!

That’s what Paul did. Just look at what he says in Romans 7:24–25: “O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

Paul’s answer for victory over sin is found in a person. His question was, “Who will deliver me?” It wasn’t, “Which commandment will deliver me?”

Your liberty from every sinful habit is found in the person of Jesus! Say yes to Him! He is your righteousness and holiness. Let Him come into the areas where you feel the weakest and allow His grace to transform you from the inside out.

My friend, it is so clear from today’s scripture that holiness is all about becoming more and more like Jesus and it comes about when the veil of the law is removed. When the veil is removed, we see our beautiful Savior face-to-face and His glorious grace transforms us from glory to glory. The gospel of glorious grace always produces glorious lives.

I pray that as you read more and more about God's grace, you will have a greater revelation of just how wonderful your Savior is, just how perfect His work on Calvary was, and just how deeply loved YOU are.

And as you behold Jesus, may you grow from glory to glory and shine as a testament to all of His goodness!

The Hand Of God

MINISTERING:-PASTOR SAMUEL OKECHUWKU JONAH

Eccl 9:1 Solomon says, “For I considered all this in my heart, so that I could declare it all, that the righteous & the wise & their works are in the hand of God...”

Intro

In this verse that I’ve chosen, Solomon (the wisest man that had ever lived) makes a profound statement. He says that he has taken time to think about this before he took time to write it down.

Solomon came to the conclusion that the hand of God was an important factor in the lives of some folks. He goes on to say that “the righteous, the wise & their works are in the hand of God.”

The Bible makes many references to the Hand of God”& what the hand of God is able to do. Let’s consider a few of those.

1. The Uniting Hand Of God

In 2 Chronicles 30, Hezekiah sends a letter to all of Israel & to Judah inviting them to come to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem to observe the Passover. It had been years since the Passover had been kept & Hezekiah was desiring to get the nation back on track.

Runners were used to carry the invitation throughout the land inviting every tribe to come to this tremendous reinstatement of the Passover. Some folks laughed the runners out of their city & some agreed to come.

2 Chron 30:12,13 says, “The hand of God was on Judah to give them singleness of heart to obey the command of the king & the leaders at the word of the Lord. Now many people, a very great assembly, gathered at Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month.”

The uniting hand of God brings people together for worship, service & fellowship who have previously been divided!

Ps 133:1 says, “How good & pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”

 Customize this sermon

The uniting hand of God creates a goodness & pleasantness among the people of God!

Acts 2:1 says, “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.”

The uniting hand of God will produce an outpouring of the Holy Ghost upon all those who gather in His Name!

2. The Providing Hand Of God

In Neh 1 we read how Nehemiah is serving as a cupbearer to the King of Persia (modern day Iran). The Israelites are in exile there & a fellow-Israelite tells Nehemiah that the city of Jerusalem has been destroyed & it’s protective gates have been burned with fire.

Nehemiah asks for permission to go back home. The King agrees his request & asks if there is anything else that he needs.

Nehemiah says that he will need a letter from the King to give to other Kings asking for permission to pass through their land. And, he says that he will need some timbers to use for rebuilding the walls.

Neh 2:8 says, “And the King granted them (timbers) to me according to the good hand of my God upon me.”

The providing hand of God gives you what you need even when there’s devastation all around you!

Ps 23:1 says, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.”

The providing hand of God guarantees that you will not have anything lacking!

Phil 4:19 says, “But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

The providing hand of God is connected to the riches that are be found in Jesus Christ!

3. The Empowering Hand Of God

Nehemiah gets permission to go back to Jerusalem & gets the timber that he needs to rebuild the walls. But, Nehemiah still needs other people to help with this project.

Nehemiah begins to tell other folks about what God has called him to do. He realizes that he can’t do this all by himself.

Neh 2:17,18 says, “Then I said to them, ‘You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste & its gates are burned with fire. Come & let us build the wall of Jerusalem that we may no longer be a reproach.’ And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me & also the kings words that he had spoken to me. So they said, ‘Let us rise & build.’ Then they set their hands to this good work.”

The empowering hand of God will cause other people to join with you in order to accomplish what He wants done!

4. The Protecting Hand Of God

In Is 51, God is reminding Israel of His incredible love for them & that He has called them unto Himself. He tells them that they don’t have to be afraid of man & that He will give them victory over their enemies.
