Purity of Purpose (Bro. Alex Davou) 21-05-2001

* MY SERMON NOTES

@ Rescue Team,

Hwolshe – Gigiring, Jos

Plateau State, Nigeria

21^st May, 2001

SERMON

* Speaker: Bro. Alex Davou

* Topic: Purity of Purpose

 * Purity means to be clean/holy

* Purpose is one’s intention (to achieve a particular goal)

* You’ll not be judged by your intention unless it is realized.

* Men have good purposes/intentions but they usually find it hard to achieve them

* There is no greater poverty than that of imagination

* If you believe a lie, you’ll always be controlled by that lie

* Unless you ‘drink’ that which is of the Holy Spirit, you will not know what is of the Holy Spirit

* Unless you fight, you cannot be counted as being part of those who are bold

* The wisdom of the world is limited

* Many acquired wealth out of impunity – it will all be taken away

* Luke19:11-26

* If you forfeit your crown, it will be given to another person

* As a Christian, your primary purpose is to please your master – Jesus

* Our beauty as Christians is not physical but that of the spirit

* Everything we do here on earth is for an eternal reward

* If you die today, what will you be remembered for?

* Psalm40:6-7 

       

 

 

The Spirit to Rescue (Bro. Joel Bibot) 07-10-1999

★ MY SERMON NOTES

@ RESCUE TEAM

Hwolshe, Gigiring - Jos

Plateau State, Nigeria

7th October, 1999

* Topic: The Spirit to Rescue

* Speaker: Bro. Joel Bibot

☆ Three (3) Types of Spirits:  

1. The Spirit of God

→ This Spirit is Omnipresent, omnipotent, etc.  

2. The Spirit Beings (angels and demons)

→ Each of them keeps to his domain and operates there

3. The human Spirit

→ The spirit of man cannot do anything unless he is under the control of the Spirit of God or the devil

* To 'rescue' is to deliver someone from a particular force that is above him

* For you to set someone free, you have to be above that particular force that is keeping that person in bondage  

* The spirit to rescue is the motivator, the zeal, the power to move and set someone free

* Souls are being captured by the devil and they need to be set free

* Those who are free from the control of Satan have the mandate to set the captives free

★ 1 Samuel 14:43-45

* Most of the souls (in bondage) do not have any knowledge that they are in bondage

* As a leader, launch into what you are meant to do so as to avoid mistakes

* Be very careful before making any decision or a vow

* Allow the counsel and wisdom of God to guide you

→ Do not rely on your own understanding or human perception as you embark on evangelism, deliverance or prayer for those under the captivity of Satan

 

*NOTE: The act of rescuing is a spiritual (and sometimes physical) battle

* The act of rescuing is not a difficult task, but there are tactics and techniques that must be employed

→ You are not to be in a hurry to rescue.

→ You are not to delay unnecessarily, else the person dies

→ Decisions must be taken with prayers and strong conviction

☆ To Rescue:

1. You need to have Jesus

2. You need the Spirit of the Lord to guide you

3. Rescue the soul(s) at the right time at the right place

★ MY SERMON NOTES

@ Rescue Team

Gigiring, Hwolshe, Jos

25th February, 1999

SERMON

* Speaker: Uncle Charles Egu

* The Events of the End Times

* Text: 2 Timothy 3:1-9

★ Genesis 11:1-9

* Now, The world wants to become one; to increase in knowledge (just like it happened in the days of building the Tower of Babel)

* The antichrist is already born but just waiting for manifestation into full government

* Where the Temple of Solomon was built, there is an erected Central Mosque - this is presently a bone of contention

* 'Men of God' have now become dupes (fraudulent)

* You should be careful about how you monitor yourself

* The world has gone computer literate

* We should pray that we would not be caught unawares

Tears on Pay Day (Bro. Sunday Peters) 28-01-1999

★ MY SERMON NOTES
@ RESCUE TEAM,
Hwolshe, Gigiring, Jos
28th January, 1999

* Topic: Tears on Pay Day
* Speaker: Bro. Sunday Peters

* Text: Luke 19:11-26

* The third servant (in the passage above) allowed some foolish sentiments to prevent him from making profit for the master

* God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him;

* God rewards maximum profit made for Him

* Points Servants of God should Note:
(a) We serve the same God
(b) We all have the same connection
(c) God does not have grand sons/daughters, only sons and daughters
(d) We shall all stand before Him in judgement and give account of our stewardship

* Those who are not faithful (in His service) will surely be punished by God
