David and Goliath. In this sermon, Brother Sam explains the story of David and Goliath and how it describes us as New Testament believers. We have been told that we are David, striking down our Goliath of poverty and penury, delay in our promotions, limitations, marital difficulties, etc. Like David, we are told that we are to sling our smooth stones of powerful confessions that will bring Goliath down and usher us into our Kingship and priestly offices in any sphere of life on this...

Brother Seye continues the series on the Beholding the Son and ushers us into His high Priestly ministry The teaching begins with a reference to Genesis 14, the only passage the speaks of Melchizedek and the prophecy in Psalms 110:1-4 in which David declares that the Second Person of the Trinity (Our Lord Jesus) is a priest forever after the Order of Melchizedek. The scriptures say “the order” because Melchizedek’s ministry is not recorded with a reference to his beginning or ending...

In this concluding part of the “Do You Love Me?” series, Brother Seye exegetes 1 Corinthians 12—the notable chapter on spiritual gifts. He begins by underscoring the necessity of having the right motives, as we desire and believe God for these things. There is a temptation to dabble into simony where spiritual gifts are concerned—to forget that they are primarily GIFTS, given by the discretion of the Giver—and to garner methods/means by which we think we can come upon these endowments on...

The Son. Our great High Priest Brother Seye continues the series on the Beholding the Son and ushers us into His high Priestly ministry The teaching begins with a reference to Genesis 14, the only passage the speaks of Melchizedek and the prophecy in Psalms 110:1-4 in which David declares that the Second Person of the Trinity (Our Lord Jesus) is a priest forever after the Order of Melchizedek. The scriptures say “the order” because Melchizedek’s ministry is not recorded with a...

Building on the foundation he laid last week as we began the “Do You Love Me?” series, Brother Seye reminds us that love is an intangible virtue made tangible by our actions. However, he emphasized, we cannot forget that even though it is our actions that give verity to our profession of love, the intangible virtue of love in itself is a supply of the Spirit, given in the quickening of regeneration, to the heart that is born anew in Christ. Therefore, genuine love can only be demonstrated...

Brother Seye continues the teaching series on the book of Hebrews and handles the difficult Chapter 6 He first expounds that the knowledge in Hebrews 6, described as foundational doesn’t in any way suggest there’s something esoteric to move on to but rather a progression in the things the Hebrews Christians once received. Secondly, in the spirit of the warnings of apostasy, Brother Seye shows us that falling away is not a low moment a Christian has, but is a result of a process of...

Brother Seye begins this teaching series by setting forth what genuine love for God means in its proper light—not the outburst of soppy, sentimental emotions during worship, but the readiness of a heart to do the will of God even, and especially, when the tank of feelings is running red. He explains that feelings can fuel our love for God, but we must not forget how fickle and undependable they can be. Going primarily by the influence of our feelings is a surefire way to find ourselves...

Brother Seye continues the teaching series on the book of Hebrews as he takes us into Hebrews 5. Here. The writer of Hebrews addresses the Son's superiority over the Levitical priesthood. Brother Seye exegetes on the Son learning obedience, referring to His submission to the cross to pay for our sins. Finally, Brother Seye again highlights that the Son's incarnation and consequent suffering give us hope to come to the throne of grace to obtain mercy for our weaknesses.

In this part of the series on Christian Ethics, Brother Sam underscores the kernel of every act of goodness we extend towards our fellow men: God Himself. We [can] love people because we, firstly, love God. We are loyal to people because we are loyal to God. The condition of our affection towards the Lord enables and shapes our affections towards our fellow image-bearers. It is the wellspring from which the gushes of our morality, honor and compassion towards others come. This,...

Brother Seye continues the series by using the imagery of Israel’s captivity and slavery, their sojourning through the wilderness on their way to Canaan; to explain the deceitfulness of sin and its consequent hardening in the Hebrew Christians and to us in the modern church. The deceitfulness of sin makes us consider the slavery and bondage we were delivered from as better than the abundance of God's grace we have freely received in salvation Just as the Israelites considered Egypt...

“Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel. “ ~ Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭10‬ ‭ Brother Sam, building on the previously established maxim that “true wisdom is applied sanctification”, shows in this fourth part of the series, how this sanctification is demonstrated not just in our relationship with our fellow image-bearers, but even with animals. He explains how virtues such as discernment, kindness and loyalty are fundamental constituents of...

In this third part of the midweek series on the book of Hebrews, Brother Maj’ continues on the theme of the Superior Son. In Hebrews 3, the anchor text shows that Jesus is superior to the man Moses because Jesus is very God, and has much more glory than His servant Moses. For Moses was faithful in God's house, but the builder of the house, Jesus, is worthy of much more glory. We remain God's house (built by the Son) as long as we hold fast to our confidence. But then the writer...

In the third part of this series on Christian wisdom and ethics, Brother Sam explains how Christians must conduct themselves in their secular and material affairs, to please and glorify God even in such things. He highlights the necessity of conscientiousness in handling our things—jobs, businesses, education, and other earthly responsibilities—firstly because these things have been generously given to us by a King to whom we will give account for how we stewarded them. If God...

Brother Seye continues his exposition on the book of Hebrews as he addresses chapters 1 through 2 to show us that the Son is superior and more excellent than angels. The imagery of angelic manifestation to the fathers by the prophets will not have been lost on the Hebrew Christians, thereby being a means to aid their rejection of Jesus and return to Judaism But if the word spoken through angels was binding such that every transgression received a just recompense, HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE...

In the second part of this series, Brother Sam emphasizes wisdom as being distinct from intelligence. Much of what the world commemorates as ‘wisdom’ is no wisdom at all, but a high Intelligence/Emotional Quotient at best. The world’s system rewards a cunning, scheming, manipulative person for being “wise”, but the Bible calls such wisdom earthly, unspiritual and demonic (James 3:13-18). True, biblical wisdom is to be an infant in evil. True wisdom substantiates itself in this way: ~...

Brother Seye begins a teaching series for the midweek services on the book of Hebrews. He starts with a background to the book, making a case for its canonicity, orthodoxy, and necessity for the church of God in the 21st century. This puts to rest any aspersions cast on its authorship as the basis for rejecting it as authoritative. He handles 2 key points. Who wrote the book and who was it addressed to. He then goes into the first bone of contention in Hebrews 1; the Son is...

Matthew 10:1–25. Brother Sam begins a new teaching series on Christian wisdom and ethics. The Bible instructs us to be wise as serpents yet harmless as doves. In this first part of the series, Brother Sam tells us what wisdom is in the Christian faith. Wisdom is to understand the will of the Lord and live in it. It is to do what God wants in the way God wants it done. The value of wisdom is not in the value of gold or riches it brings you, but in how much in the will of God you...

Brother Glory uses the instruction to the seven churches as recorded in the book of Revelations to reproof, correct and instruct us in righteousness Be blessed as you listen. Please listen and share

Brother Sam concludes the series on Galatians in chapter 6 He emphasises something poignant in verses 1-3; how we handle fallen brethren in the church of our Lord. An understanding that we are comrades with brokenness with those who err helps us to administer Christian judgement on matters. For Christians, judgement is restorative. It seeks to restore those who have fallen. We realize we can be gentle but firm, ruthless but just. Secondly, Brother Sam expounds on Christian...

Sis. Ifeanyi shares with us some Christian presuppositions, and foundational assumptions underlying the Christian belief. Without these presuppositions, a person can't get to the Christian faith/worldview. They are things necessary presuppositions to affirm the Christian worldview

Brother Sam continues the exposition of the book of Galatians as he takes us through Galatians chapter 5 In verses 1-6, Paul reminds the Galatians of the freedom they have received and calls the works of the law to justify bondage/slavery.

In verse 10, Brother Sam shows us that people who pervert the gospel will see the Lord's judgement, telling us that a tiny...

Enjoy this insightful Bible study.

Galatians 4 Brother Sam continues his exposé on the book of Galatians in the series. From verses 1–8, he shows the necessity of the law to show the exceeding sinfulness of man. And the law, though binding on Israel, could not annul the covenant with Abraham that has already been set - justification by faith He also explains that the heart cry of the Christian “abba father” is an inner experience every Christian has that can’t be proven and in which they all know they are children of...

Sequel to Sister Ijeoma's bible study on the role the sabbath meant to the Jews and how Jesus healing on the sabbath was so egregious to them in "The Message of Apostle John - Part 12", we have a scholarship Wednesday debate on if Christians should observe the Sabbath or not. Arguing for the case that we don't need to observe the Sabbath again is Bro. Chike Ibewuike, while Bro. Judah Flourish argues for the observance of the Sabbath for Christians. Please listen and share.

Brother Sam continues the teaching series on Galatians and shows us succinctly the works of the law and the gift of grace in Christ Jesus He shows the error of legalism from Galatians 3, honing down on our context. Any subtle hint of a level to attain to receive or manifest the free “gift” of God by His Spirit is a form of legalism. He goes on to highlight that the works of the law cannot save a person because the standard of the law is complete perfection. That’s why we stand in...
