Unleashed with Action | Part 2

Scripture Reference: Exodus 4:21, Exodus 3:8, Exodus 16:35, Joshua 5:12, Exodus 14:10-12

Key Notes: In this sermon, Pastor explores Exodus and Joshua which illustrates the importance of taking action with the talents and skills we possess.

• God has equipped us with abilities, and it's up to us to use them effectively.

• We delve into practical applications of theoretical knowledge, emphasizing that action should always be the outcome of our learning.

• Reflecting on the Israelites' journey, we see a generation marked by faithlessness and entitlement.

• God withdrew mana to encourage the Israelites to stop perceiving Him as a magician and to engage in sowing seeds.

• What we are capable of doing should not rely solely on miraculous intervention. Understanding the role of labor is crucial in our journey of faith.

Scripture Reference: Exodus 4:21. Exodus 12:51, Exodus 13:17-19

This episode explores the powerful connection between faith and action. Drawing from biblical passages and real-life examples, we emphasize the importance of intentional, purpose-driven action in fulfilling God's plans.

Key Points:

1. Do what God has empowered you to do, avoiding blind copying and recognizing that God doesn't call against one's will.

2. Carrying virtue into a space creates impact, and the lack of it has the opposite effect.

3. God commissions us for His work because some things in the kingdom require human action.

4. Your actions activate a reaction from heaven; a dormant church produces no heavenly response.

5. The first human action is a seed that must bear fruit and endure.

6. Faith should rest on the character of God, not just miracles.

7. Battles extend beyond the physical, requiring intentional human action.

8. Faith in chaos means carrying God's virtue in a Godless world and believing in Him.

9. Vulnerability is when God strengthens us the most; weakness becomes strength.

10. Divine and physical work go hand in hand; pray and then act towards the prayed-for outcome.

11. Human action is not an affront to divinity; act in alignment with God's approval.

12. God has opened doors, but people must walk through them; laziness won't receive divine opportunities

Pastor, on this episode explored the role of believers as mediators between Christ and unbelievers. We discovered the transformative power of being a bridge for others, just as Jesus bridged the gap between God and humanity.

Scripture Reference: 1 Timothy 2:6 and Hebrews 9:15.

Key Pointers:

1. If the righteousness of a man could save a man, job would have qualified because God declared him a righteous man on earth.

2. ⁠Just as Jesus was a middle man for us ( Christians), we are the middle men between Jesus and the unbelievers.

Message Title: Anointed & Unleashed | In the Valley of Elah 2

Rev. Joseph Osafo Adu emphasizes that the effectiveness of a person's faith is not determined by external factors but by their mindset and understanding of their identity.

Key Pointers:

1. The power of faith lies in one's mindset and understanding of their identity.

2. Believers should focus on developing their skills and purpose, rather than copying or competing with others.

3. Discipline is crucial in sustaining one's faith journey, as it provides consistency and spiritual growth.

Scripture references:

Numbers 13: The story of the land devouring its own people.

Colossians 3:1: Encouragement to set one's mind on things above.

Hebrews 11: Highlights the virtues recorded in the scriptures.

Matthew 5:13: Describes believers as the salt of the earth.

Psalm 100:3: Acknowledges that we are God's people and the sheep of his pasture.

2 Corinthians 5:20: Discusses believers as ambassadors for Christ.

1 Peter 2:5: Describes believers as living stones being built into a spiritual house.

2 Timothy 2:3: Encourages believers to endure hardship as good soldiers of Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:25: Uses the analogy of athletes to illustrate the importance of self-control and discipline.

Romans 12:2: Advises believers to be transformed by renewing their minds.

1 Corinthians 3:9: Describes believers as God's fellow workers, participating in the building of His kingdom

The series on "Anointed & Unleashed" continues with a profound edition on the topic: In the Valley of Elah.

Scripture Reference: 1 Samuel 17:1-3; 23

Word Capsules:

The Church is believers in action.

1. The message explains the concept of leadership and the need for champions in various aspects of life.

2. It draws upon the biblical story of David and Goliath.

3. Emphasizing that believers are called to be leaders and make a positive impact in areas such as the economy, education, military, and health.

4. Its highlight is the significance of carrying virtue and avoiding negativity.

5. Ultimately, it asserts that Jesus is the ultimate champion and encourages individuals to step up and become champions themselves.

On today's edition of "Anointed & Unleashed", Pastor focuses on the Topic "Why does God anoint"

Key Bible verses to consider:

Luke 4:14-22

God anoints:

1. For consecrating his vessels for a specific purpose.

2. To empower people for service

3. For an enablement (to give gifts or abilities or an enablement)

4. To consecrate and dedicate his vessels.

Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe speaks on ''The Holy of Holies''

Bible verses for referencing

Exodus 26:33-34

Hebrews 10:19

If man runs with man, it is a race but when man runs with God, it is Grace

With God on Purpose; Unleashing the Church with Purpose

Scripture Reference: 1 Samuel 16:13 (NIV) - "So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David. Samuel then went to Ramah."

Key Points:

1. The Anointing Appoints: When God appoints, He anoints. Therefore, when He anoints, He has appointed. This emphasizes the divine nature of God's calling and the empowerment that comes with it.

2. Your Appointment is Your Assignment: The Lord's appointment for you is intricately linked to your assignment. Each individual's divine appointment signifies a specific purpose and mission to fulfil, serving as a guide for their path in life.

3. Empowerment for Assignment: The anointing serves as a source of empowerment for the assignment given by God. It bestows the necessary strength, wisdom, and capabilities to fulfil the tasks appointed, enabling individuals to carry out their divine purpose with confidence and effectiveness.

Bereshith Conference 2024 || Day 1

Scripture Reference: Exodus 3:7-8;4:1, Matt. 5:12-17

"A week of deep teachings and prayer"

God's purpose in the text, Vs. 8, "... and so I have come down to rescue them..."

Some Key Points

1. God always operates on a purpose. There's nothing accidental with God.

2. Purpose will always drive a divine agenda.

3. Purpose will drive a divine action. And the action will make God choose an instrument.

4. Purpose drives an action. And anytime God takes an action, he chooses an instrument. And no man is unleashed if he has nothing doing.

5. God never uses an instrument without preparing it.

What is success?

Success is not just an impartation, Success is calculated, passion filled effort at executing a desired agenda.

Key Sayings.

If wishes were horses, beggars would be riding the air.

The law of association: You become who you associate with.

Rev. Prof. Joseph Osafo Adu, the resident pastor of ELWOC, has commenced a series on the intriguing topic titled "Anointed and Unleashed."

Key Bible Verses to Consider:

Ephesians 3:10

Romans 11:33

1 Corinthians 2:7

Ephesians 1:21

Ephesians 6:12

Colossians 2:10

Important Points to Keep in Mind:

1. The primary challenge facing God's kingdom is an uninformed church.

2. The church is akin to a refined weapon in God's hands.

3. God's approval does not solely rest with the church; it resides within each individual.

4. Ignorance stands as the gravest sin for an individual.

5. Ignorance also serves as the greatest disservice to the church.

6. One crucial aspect to always remember is that Jesus triumphs over every evil force.

7. Never perceive yourself as ordinary.

Thank you for listening.

We hope you were blessed.

Where God walks And Works

 Let brotherly love continue. Heb 13:1-5. There must be regularity in serving God.

Preacher : Ovr. Osafo

Text:Matt 22:37 Mark 12,

Loyalty and commitment- God needs my love,you owe anyone nothing if you profess your love to God.

Consistency- Steadness and continuity is part of your devotion to God. Make sure you end whatever you begin this year to get devoted to God. Luke 3:21 Luke 6:12,5;16, Luke 9:28-Jesus repeatedly withdrew by to lonely places and prayed. Godliness with contentment is great gain. Consistency and prayer is the mark of your measure to devotion to God. Heb 13:15. In everything give thanks,don’t break the cycle. Romans 12:12 Eph 6;18 Col 4:2. Let brotherly love continue. Heb 13:1-5. There must be regularity in serving God.

Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

The human soul, the moral and emotional aspects of the human being must be anchored.

Time with Ovr. Prof. Joseph Osafo, the resident minister of Rhema Worship Centre.

David said to Saul, "Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him."(NIV)

1 Samuel 17:32-33

32 David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”

33 Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”

1 Samuel 17:23

As he was talking with them, Goliath, the Philistine champion from Gath, stepped out from his lines and shouted his usual defiance, and David heard it.

1 Samuel 17:12-16

Now David was the son of an Ephrathite named Jesse, who was from Bethlehem in Judah. Jesse had eight sons, and in Saul’s time he was very old.  Jesse’s three oldest sons had followed Saul to the war: The firstborn was Eliab; the second, Abinadab; and the third, Shammah.  David was the youngest. The three oldest followed Saul, but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.

 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening and took his stand.

Psalm 105:16-22

16 He called down famine on the land
and destroyed all their supplies of food;
17 and he sent a man before them—
Joseph, sold as a slave.
18 They bruised his feet with shackles,
his neck was put in irons,
19 till what he foretold came to pass,
till the word of the Lord proved him true.
20 The king sent and released him,
the ruler of peoples set him free.
21 He made him master of his household,
ruler over all he possessed,
22 to instruct his princes as he pleased
and teach his elders wisdom.

Daniel 5:11

"There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In the time of your father he was found to have insight and intelligence and wisdom like that of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners."

"And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee."

Genesis 42:27-28

At the place where they stopped for the night one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver in the mouth of his sack. 

 “My silver has been returned,” he said to his brothers. “Here it is in my sack.”

Their hearts sank and they turned to each other trembling and said, “What is this that God has done to us?”

In today's sermon, we will look at how Joseph forgave his brothers and invited them to live near him at Gorshen.

Genesis 45:4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt!
