* Speaker: Pastor 'Lola Owotumi

* Testimony and Thanksgiving Service

* NOTE: Not all haste is bad.

→ There are situations you find yourself that you need God to intervene in a haste!

* Nothing is too hard for God to do

★ Psalm 40:13 →"Be pleased, O Lord, to take me out of danger; O Lord, come quickly and give me help."

★ Psalm 38:22 →"Come quickly to give me help, O Lord, my salvation."

★ Psalm 70:1 → "Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord."

* When you are faced with a difficult situation in life, you just have to call upon the Lord

→ Do not panic

→ Do not resort to self help

* Ensure that your trust in the Lord is consistent

* God always answers prayers

★ Psalm 34:17- 19 → "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all."

* Your deliverance is just a prayer away!

* You must have the right attitude when calling upon the Lord in trouble:

→ attitude of faith

→ attitude of hope

★ Proverbs 18:10 → "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe."

* Whenever you call upon the name of Lord, He has an obligation to honor His name

* There is power in the name of Jesus

★ Acts 3:6 → ''Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

☆ Prayer:

I bless you Lord

Because you love me and you

Always hear me when I call

I thank you for

Of your help in times past. 

Thank you because you will

Always carry me in your hands

Central Business District,

Garki - Abuja

8th June, 2016

* Speaker: Pastor 'Lola Owotumi

* Topic: Mischievous Madness (25)

* Text: Proverbs 23:33 →''Your eyes will see strange things, And your heart will utter perverse things." [NKJV]

* There are positive and negative aspects of haste.

→ You must avoid the negative and adopt the positive

* You must be hasty in obeying God's Word

★ Ecclesiastes 5:2 → "Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few."

* There is a possibility that anything you say in haste is likely to be wrong

★ Amos 2:12-14 → "But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not."

* Do not put people under pressure to live up to societal or religious Standards

→ This is especially so for those who are not married or are yet to give birth

* It is good to show love and care, but you must not put people under pressure

* If you realize that your questions and care is putting someone under pressure, please withdraw

→ Pray for them instead

★ 2 Corinthians 1:8 → "We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself."

★ 2 Corinthians 1:4 → "who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."

★ Prayer:

Comfort me Lord,

Help me to be a source of comfort to others,

Not a source of pressure

That will push anyone into undue haste
