When your life is going great and everything is as it should be, it is easy to be a grateful child of God. It is easy to praise Him and to proclaim to the world that you trust Him—that you will obey Him—that you will love Him and follow Him all the days of your life, when everything is going good.  

But what happens when things don't go well? That's where the real test lies.

God is a covenant keeper, who under an oath, fulfills His promises unto us.

Keep Hope Alive 

Have you ever been in a dry season with God, or know people who have walked away from Him completely? There's a reason for this, and that's a lack of PASSION.

Worship is not an activity that is confined to the expression of music. Worship is an opportunity to show how much you value the presence of God. Worship is loving God. Worship is honoring God. Worship is knowing God for who He is, adoring Him, obeying Him, proclaiming Him as a way of life. Music is one way we express that adoration.

As a born again Christian, God empowers you to do more with less. While man looks for the strongest soldier, God sets apart the strongest heart. In 1 Samuel 16, the horn of oil only flowed for the shepherd boy, David, a king in disguise. Will you shift into your purpose when other sons seem more qualified, but God calls you chosen? Will you step down from the comfort of your mountain and into His will? And will you continue to pursue Him, despite the dazzle of the world's delights? The oil only flows in alignment. God’s anointing will kick the prophecy into overdrive.

With all of the hustle and bustle that comes along with the Christmas season, it can be hard to find the right gifts for every person. Some like jewelry while others like electronics. Some just want cash while others would prefer a card. But no matter who the Individual is, God already gave them the perfect gift when he sent His son Jesus to die for our sins. He sent us a gift that would last forever and a gift that just keeps on giving!

Sermon preached by Afua Osei-Owusu

You can't be living in defeat. As a child of God, victory is part of your inheritance.
