GOD, REPLACE MY EVIL YEARS WITH GOOD

sermon 6. GOD, REPLACE MY EVIL YEARS WITH GOOD

A Sermon preached on 28th January, 2018.
"Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery; replace the evil years with good"--- Psalm 90:15 NLT

Moses uttered this prayer having remembered the forty years of exile in Egypt. He knew that God's children had suffered greatly, and had been afflicted severely under the yoke of enslavement. And now is a time of plea, making petitions to God, Lord, make us glad because we have been in Egypt for forty years living a life full of misery, a life that is not comfortable to us, a life of pains and grief, a life we get drowned in tears for many years. But this time, we ask you to replace all our evil years with good.

Note: Your evil years shall be replaced with good, death with life, replacing poverty with riches, failure with success, infertility with fertility, sickness with good health.

Job 42:10 gives us a clear picture of the sermon. For many years that Job had been in misery. He was struck with disease, his property was destroyed and his children were gravely killed by a mighty windstorm caused by Satan. As job began to pray for his friends who sinned against God, his fortune was restored to him. I say to you that God's restoration is locating you this year. The evil years you have been living are replaced with good. Rise up, and put your faith in action. Trust in God, he will deliver you from such evil years of unproductive life for the days of your mourning have come to an end, (see Isaiah 60:20).

God bless you!

Overcoming the spirit of Delay by Fortune Nwaiwu

Overcoming the spirit of Delay A sermon preached by Fortune Nwaiwu on Wed. 20/03/2019 There are forces that are responsible for delaying peoples' blessings, keeping them from progressing, such forces are also responsible delaying some people from receiving Christ as their personal Saviour. With the help of God, those forces hindering your success will stop.  1. The Ethiopian Eunuch overcame the spirit of delay by receiving God's salvation – Acts 8:36  As they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptised?”   He had accepted to follow Christ but was not yet a born again because he was yet to be baptised. His baptism delayed a little, and he wondered what would stop him from being baptised since there was a river to do so. So being a serious minded person to embrace Christ as his Saviour, he was then baptised by Philip. Never you allow the power of darkness to stop you from receiving God's ...

WHERE IS YOUR HOPE?

WHERE IS YOUR HOPE? A sermon preached on the Easter Sunday, 21 st April, 2019 by Rev. Fortune Nwaiwu Can the dead live again? If so, this would give me hope through all my years of struggle, and I would eagerly await the release of death”− Job 14:14 NLT. I preach from the angle of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ who was crucified. We see that there were many people in those days that had committed crimes and were supposed to die based on the Law of Moses (i.e. the man that committed adultery with the woman that was brought to Jesus that he saved) but no one sentenced them to death. But why is it that our Lord Jesus Christ, an innocent soul was crucified? He came to show us the way, to save us from the power of sin. In order to fulfill the scriptures, he was destined to die for us all, but his people did not know him. Out of hatred, he was killed− he was oppressed and treated harshly, and yet he did not say a word. He remained silent before his foes. But what...

BUY THE TRUTH AND SELL IT NOT

SERMON 24 BUY THE TRUTH AND SELL IT NOT         Buy the truth and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction and understanding"-----Proverb 23:23 KJV. The word of God is the truth that all men should seek after. Everything written in the scripture is true and the truth is centered on Jesus Christ because he is the God of the truth. This peculiar fact is obviously seen in the gospel book of John 14:6, Jesus told Thomas, "I am the way, the truth and the life" Truth means sincerity as opposed to falsehood. In our society, truth is always bitter in the ears of unbelievers. This contributed to the reason why some people oppose the teachings of our Lord Jesus. Christ is the only way who came to draw all men to God. Through him, there is salvation and forgiveness of sin. He is the truth because he always tells us what we ought to do. His word is full of wisdom and having spiritual insights to understand the mind of our Creator. Buy the truth: This theologic...
