The Power in Fellowship (1) (Mr. Johnson Amadi) 17-07-2017

★ MY SERMON NOTES 
NDIC/DMO Chapel 
Central Business District,
Abuja, Nigeria 
17th July, 2017  

* Speaker: Mr. Johnson Amadi 
* Topic: The Power in Fellowship 
* Text: Hebrews 10:25 → "not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."


* There is a purpose for everything under the earth

* God has called you for a particular purpose

* Fellowship means the meeting of a people who have the same objective

* Fellowship is very important in the life of every believer

* Believers in Christ should have 'consensus ad idem' (meeting of the mind) (see: Amos 3:3)

★ Acts 1:10-11 →"And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into Heaven."

* Jesus expects all believers to continue to gather together before His return

★ Matthew 18:19-20 → "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”  
   
* God honours the gathering of His people 
→ A crowd does not move God
→ All that is required is for at least two people to form the quorum for His presence to be manifested


* Meeting with the Lord and other believers should be your priority as a believer

* There are blessings that accompany fellowship!

Interactive Session on Family Issues (2) (Pastor 'Lola Owotumi 17-11-2014

NDIC/DMO Chapel
Central Business District,
Garki - Abuja
17th November, 2014

* Speaker: Pastor 'Lola Owotumi
* Topic: Interactive Session on Family Issues (2)
* Text: Psalm 24:7-8 →"Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle."

* Question: What are you to do when one of the parents do not have interest in the fanfare of naming ceremony?

★ Amos 3:3 → "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"

* Both parents must have a consensus/ a common ground

* Any difference in expectations or opinion must be settled in the place of prayer

* Compromise (finding common ground between couples) is always important in life

* Always seek and go after peace in the home.

* Always focus on things that unite you as a couple

* Downplay things that divide you

* Make every effort to come to an express agreement, not just permissive agreement on any issue
