YOUTH FELLOWSHIP

* Speaker: Justice Daniel Longji

* Topic: Leadership of the Holy Spirit

* The greatest need you will have is the Holy Spirit

* Anyone who has Christ has the Holy Spirit

★ Luke 11:13 →"So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who keep asking him!”

* When you have the Holy Spirit, you have everything

* With the Holy Spirit, you can be anywhere and yet serve God

★ Acts 5:3-4 →" Peter asked, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart so that you should lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back some of the money you got for the land? As long as it remained unsold, wasn’t it your own? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? So how could you have thought of doing what you did? You didn’t lie only to men, but also to God!”

* NOTE: The Holy Spirit is God

* It is a mystery that God manifests in three (3) persons.

→ Many do not believe this!

★ 2 Corinthians 13:14 →"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen."

* God gives us His grace in Jesus

* God himself is love

* The Holy Spirit grants us fellowship with God

★ John 16:13-14 →" Yet when the Spirit of Truth comes, he’ll guide you into all truth. He won’t speak on his own accord, but he’ll speak whatever he hears and will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you."

* Without the Spirit of God, you cannot know God

* It is the responsibility of the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus (God) to you

☆ HOW DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD?

→ NOTE: The primary assignment of the Holy Spirit is to LEAD you; of Jesus is to SAVE you, and of God the Father to LOVE you!

★ John 14:26 →"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything that I have told you."

1. HE REVEALS

* He does this through the Scriptures

* Head knowledge is different from heart knowledge

* Every moment you should desire that the Holy Spirit should reveal Jesus and God to you

2. HE SPEAKS

* He speaks the things of God to us

* Sometimes we hear His voice audibly, sometimes in the heart

* If the Holy Spirit must lead you, He must reveal Jesus to you

3. HE TEACHES God's Word

Youth Band Rehearsals

EXHORTATION

* Speaker: Bro. Emmanuel Mabitine (Band Leader)

* Topic: Tips for Ministration

1. Pray before and after every ministration

2. Don't let the commendation (or lack of it) from the audience determine your joy

3. Do not over concentrate on the instruments and forget about who you are ministering to

4. Pay close attention to your heart (place it under God's guide)

5. As you minister, believe God for Something definite

6. Learn to pray for your audience

7. When you don't like a song, you will never flow in it - avoid that kind of habit. Sing every song with the whole of your heart

8. See every performance as an opportunity to minister

9. Forget about the pressures and concentrate on God

10. Be disciplined

11. Do not negatively pre-condition your mind before a ministration

12. Know why you are on stage!

→ It is not how popular you are, but what matters is your remaining on stage - You can stand before a King but will you remain before the King?

The Costly Assumption (Bro. Emmanuel Damen) 03-09-1999

Youth Fellowship Night Vigil

SERMON
* Speaker: Bro. Emmanuel Damen
* Topic: The Costly Assumption
* Text: Luke 2:41-52

* Today, people are busy worshipping religion instead of God
→ they erroneously assume that they are serving God, but they are in fact serving something else. This is a costly assumption!

* Jesus Christ does not 'appear' at mere religious activities. He is more interested in having a relationship with you!
→ Many people who profess to be 'Christians' have no personal relationship with Jesus, but instead, they are busy being religious

★ John 14:23 → "Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. Then my Father will love him, and we will go to him and make our home within him."

* Christianity is a reality, not a mere assumption.
→ Christianity is not a religion - it is a real relationship with Jesus

★ Ezekiel 22:30 → "I sought for a man among them to build the wall and stand in the breach in my presence on behalf of the land so that it won’t be destroyed, but I found no one."

★ 1 Kings 12:1-16

* Joseph and Mary were not sensitive enough to notice Jesus’ absence on their journey back home from Jerusalem
- Are you sensitive to the presence of Jesus in your life? Has he left you?

* The Lord has left many 'Christians' yet they do not realise that fact. They still continue their religious activities, oblivious of Jesus' absence (Just like Samson in Judges 16:20)

★ Galatians 3:2 → " I want to learn only one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the actions of the Law or by believing what you heard?"
