* Speaker: Pastor Ambrose Nwogu
* Topic: God with us
*Jesus is the only one that can give men genuine satisfaction
★ John 6:32-35
* Every man on earth needs this bread that only Jesus can give
★ John 4:10-15
* Jesus does not only give us bread to satisfy hunger, but He gives us to water of life to also quench our thirst
* A man without Jesus will always be hungry and thirsty in the soul - regardless of how wealthy that individual is
* The hope we have in Christ is the hope that does not make us ashamed (Romans 5:5)
★ John 5:26 → "For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself."
→ It is God that appointed Jesus to give this life to men
* There are many things to know in the world; but do not know everything in the world without knowing Jesus!
★ John 6:27 → "Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed."
→ Every thing on earth will perish, but only the truth in Jesus will endure for ever
* You must live like a solid, uncompromising Christian in the earth
★ John 6:40 →"And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."
* Eternal life comes only through Jesus Christ
* Those who live in sin will never enjoy eternal life
* Even today, Jesus is still lifting up people from crises and challenges

God with us (Pastor Ambrose Nwogu) 04-02-2015
★ MY SERMON NOTES
@ NDIC/DMO Chapel
Central Business District
Garki-Abuja, Nigeria
4th February, 2015
* Speaker: Pastor Ambrose Nwogu
* Topic: God with us
* Real life can only be found in Christ Jesus
* How is this real, abundant life received?
→ It can only be received by believing in Christ
* Act 16 :29-31→ "The jailer asked for torches and rushed inside. Trembling as he knelt in front of Paul and Silas, he took them outside and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will be saved.”
* John 6:28-29 → "Then they asked him, “What must we do to perform God’s works?” Jesus answered them, “This is God’s work: to believe in the one whom he has sent.”
* 'Doing the work of God' entails believing in Jesus
* John 9:35-38 →" Jesus heard that they had thrown him out. So when he found him, he asked him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” He answered, “And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.” Jesus told him, “You have seen him. He is the person who is talking with you.” He said, “Lord, I do believe,” and worshipped him."
* Many today claim that they believe Jesus, but they worship no one except themselves (the prevalence of the culture of self-centeredness)
* True belief causes you to worship the object of your belief
* Luke 8:49-50 →" While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader’s home and told him, “Your daughter is dead. Stop bothering the teacher anymore.” But when Jesus heard this, he told the synagogue leader, “Stop being afraid! Just believe, and she will get well.”
* The situation you are fencing may be bad, but shut your ears to what you are hearing, shut your eyes to what you are seeing or feeling, your situation will change only if you believe
* Anyone who is not in Christ is spiritually dead
* Luke 9:60 → "But he told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. But you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
* A man onside of Christ is dead, regardless of his/her material possessions or social status
* John 5:24 →"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."
* John 6:47→ "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life."

MY ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS
→ Believing in Christ will cost you your doubts and unbelief. You have to discard them for your faith to be effective

God with us (Pastor 'Lola Owotumi) 11-02-2015
★ MY SERMON NOTES
@ NDIC/DMO Chapel
Central Business District,
Garki-Abuja
11th February, 2015
SERMON
* Speaker: Pastor Owotumi
* Topic: God with us
★ Matthew 1:21 → "She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he is the one who will save his people from their sins.”
★ 1 Corinthians 14:33 → "For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints."
* God wants us to order things right in our lives
* God is not the author of confusion - In the Matthew account (of Jesus Birth), the " naming Ceremony" came before the birth. There was no confusion!
* God does not make mistakes
* Get saved first, then You can benefit from His divine presence
* If You want to benefit from the presence of God, then you must follow the divine order
* You are saved by grace, and you must not take God's grace for grace
* Get Saved, before you call Immanuel. In fact, if you are clean, You do not need to struggle for His presence
* You must deal with the issue of Sin before you invite His presence
* Making heaven must be your priority
☆ Prayer:
Give me the life of Salvation. Transform my life.

God with us (Pastor 'Lola Owotumi) 10-02-2015

@ NDIC/DMO Chapel
Central Business District,

10th February, 2015
SERMON
* Speaker: Pastor 'Lola Owotumi
* Topic: God with us
* The story of our redemption is the story of love
★ John 3:16 → "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
* The wonderful story of love is the GOSPEL
* Perception is very key. The Israelites almost missed their destined promised land because of faulty perception
* As perception is key to you, it is also key to God
* Matthew 1:21 → "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."
* God is not a confused person
* 1st Corinthians 14:33 → "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."
* Everyone wants Jesus to be "Immanuel" to them, but He will not be Immanuel to everyone
* You cannot claim that Jesus is Immanuel to you if you are living in sin and disobedience
* The primary perception of God is that you will be saved from your sins first then you
* NOTE: Verse 21 comes before Verse 23 of Matthew 1. (The 'naming ceremony' came before the birth of the child, Jesus)
* Unless you know Jesus as Immanuel, and Saviour, the efficacy of His name will be lost to you
* First things first: Get salvation, then "Immanuel" will be applicable to you.
* "Immanuel" ( the abiding presence of God) does not work for sinners
* Your perception will determine what you get and how far you go
* Prayer:
"Father, deliver my soul;
Save me from sin;
Be "Immanuel" to me"

What is My Spiritual Gift? (Mr. Achimugu Jonathan) 01-06-1998
★ MY SERMON NOTES
@ Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA),
(now Evangelical Church Winning All)
Airport, Abuja - Nigeria
1st June, 1998
☆ BIBLE STUDIES
* Topic: What is My Spiritual Gift?
* Leader: Mr. Achimugu Jonathan
* All the Spiritual gifts listed in the above passage are by the Holy Spirit
* Unless God gives you a gift, man cannot forge it out of his own strength - and once given, it must not be left to waste away. Use it profitably
* If one does not know his gift, he should pray and ask God that the Holy Spirit should show him and read the Scriptures
* Gifts are given to all Christians so that they can help strengthen others in their faith
* How to discover your gifts
(a) Pray for the Holy Spirit's revelation
(b) Try helping others grow to love God
- teaching Sunday School
- leading Bible Studies
- helping those in need
(c) Ask other members of your Church what they think your Spiritual gift is - they should be able to tell you
* Once you have discovered your Spiritual gift, you must use it without wavering. If you do not use your gift, you are like the unfaithful servant who did not use the talent his master gave him
* Do not feel inferior because you do not have a particular gift
* If you use the gift God has given you, He will be pleased
* The spiritual gifts are equally given by the same Spirit to glorify God
* Do not feel superior because you have a gift that others do not have
* If you do not speak in tongues, do not doubt your salvation. Salvation is by faith and not works
☆ Memory Verse:
★ 1st Peter 4:10 →"As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God."
