Living Word International Church

FRIDAY 16th March (8.30-10.00pm)

This Friday we are holding a healing service. Wherever Jesus went, God’s power was always present to heal and to do the miraculous. That same power is available to us today. So if you need healing, restoration or a refreshing physically or emotionally, make every effort to attend this meeting.

I am convinced that you will experience God’s mighty power to bring significant change in your life. No matter how long the sickness or situation has persisted, come ready for a turn-around.

Tell your friends and family, arrive early and get ready for a wonderful evening.

Blessings.

Pastor Sesan

The following are quotes from our current sermon series titled ‘STEP BY STEP’.

Main text:

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholds him with His hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread. Psalm 37: 23-25.(NKJV)

1. Our lives are made up of steps.

2. God leads and directs in steps.

3. Steps = Stages = Phases.

4. God is not in a hurry and He is never late.

5. God wants to direct and establish our every step.

6. God busies Himself with our every step (Psalm 37:23, AMP)

7. God created the heavens and the earth in steps/stages; Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 etc

8. God is not a magician. He leads and directs us in steps and stages.

9. You can measure your success in stages.

10. Each stage in your life is important and crucial to the fulfilment of your destiny.

11. Wherever you are right now, acknowledge God’s leadership and He will establish your every step. He will lead you every step of the way.

12. When God is directing your steps, there will be no stress.

13. God knows where you’re going and He knows how to get you there.

14. Don’t try to force things or make things happen without God. You’ll only huff and puff and become weary.

15. God has control of time. Like David said, our times are in God’s hands.

16. A faithful man is a stable man. He shall abound in blessings. (Proverbs 28: 20)

17. Be stable. Be faithful. Don’t run here and there. God loves stability. Remember that not being stable means to be double-minded.

18. God is a God of order.

1. The Word of God is so simple that people miss it. That’s because we oftentimes expect God’s Word to be complicated.

2. Don’t measure your situation with yourself or your abilities.

3. God’s Word is effective and efficient.

4. Jesus came to make complex things simple. That’s why even fishermen could understand the gospel.

5. When you pray you are not informing God of your situation, you are expressing your faith in Him.

6. Faith comes by hearing, not listening.

7. You can listen and not hear.

8. The Word of God does not give room for failure.

9. Agreement is what keeps people together.

10. When you agree, you build up a resource, a deposit of power.

11. You can know how to pray and not know how to agree.

12. Once you agree, the rest is easy.

13. People who agree can do anything.

14. In order to agree, there must be communication.

15. In the kingdom of God, there is no vote. There is choice.

16. There are no limits for a believer.

17. The place of agreement is a place of power.

18. You will do well not to equate the Word of God with the word of man.

19. Quit questioning God’s word. While you are questioning, others are moving forward.

20. Put your effort into believing God’s Word.

Fasting is a spiritual exercise. It is a time set aside to deny the flesh of physical food so that we can be alert and sensitive to spiritual things. During the time of fasting and prayer, a believer positions him or herself to better hear from God and receive direction by the Holy Spirit. Spiritual things come alive in a deeper way during a fast. This week (Mon 5^th Sep to Fri 9^th Sep), we are fasting corporately as a church. Prayer points and scriptures for each day are as follows:

MON: Children; returning to school, academic success, focus, direction, no distractions: Psalm 127

TUE: Relationships; parents, children, families, siblings, friends, colleagues, marriages, for unity and peace; Psalm 133

WED: Salvation of souls; both young and old in and around our community:  Luke 19:1-10

THR: Men; pray against diseases, pray for fulfillment in all areas, to be who God wants them to be: Proverbs 28:20, Proverbs 20:6

FRI: Women; pray against diseases, pray for fulfillment in all areas, to be who God wants them to be: Proverbs 14:1
