Hindrances To Our Relationship With God

By


TEXT: MATT. 24 :2

BY: BRO. AMOS OVURU


This message is being directed to who are now Sunday, Sunday worshipers.

MEANING OF HINDRANCE

Something that holds back or causes problem with something else, (you are not coming).
Some of us are now very, very far from God. And have attracted to many, many more problems to our selves. 1 step away from God is 100 step closer to devil.
(Matt.6:30) seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness..
(Matt. 6:20-21) we were advice to seek heavenly things, don’t be over attached to Earthly things.

Why, will we not bring problems to ourselves  (Jer. 5:25)
In the social media- story of two fighters on Thursday- used stone on his head and that nwas how he died.
(Jer. 5:25) Your sin has turned away good things and also withhold your blessing from reaching you.
(James 4:2-3) In the state of then confusion- even when we asked from God we asked
with wrong motives. So we don’t even receive from God anymore.

Because we are left alone, he allow us to go through trials and temptation. (Ps. 107:12-13)
Reason however- Because God is love he never want us to perish in this our current situation.

  1. He want to see, What is in our heart, if we are still afaithful- (Adam were are you)
  2. So that he can draw us closer to him again.
  3. To teach us obedience (Heb 5:5)
  4. Christ, bought us with a price, and we should know that our soul, spirit are his (1Cor.5:20; 7:23)

We were redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, instead of making us his slaves, he chose to adopt us as his children and joint heir with his son (Gal. 4:5)
(1pet. 2:25) His love had received us when we were lost and gone astray.
Brethren today is another opportunity he as given us to come back to him.

The message is reminding us to remember or our ‘’First love’’ (Rev. 2:4-5) say he we have something against us and spilt us out- if you don’t change in attitude.

He said in (John 10:27) my sheep hear my voice- a word is enough for the wise.

HINDRANCES TO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD


  1. Being ‘’too busy’’ to take time with him, (Matt. 23:37b) 
  2. Habouring unrepentant sin in our hearts (ps. 66;18)
  3. Bearing too full of our own thaughts (Isa.55:2)
  4. Becoming caught up with the world and it cares (Matt. 18:22)
  5. Doubting the Lords love for you (Mal. 1:2)

CHRISTIANS SHOULD ABSTAIN FROM EVERY FORM OF EVIL

By
TEXT: 1THESS. 5:22 BY: BRO. WILLIAM OVEDHE DEFINITION CHRISTIANS : Are redeemed people who do not belong to themselves but Christ Jesus. ABSTAIN : to not do something, especially, something enjoyable, because you think it is bad for your health or morally wrong. EVIL :  Something that is very bad and harmful. INTRODUCTION:   Christian should remember of the price they are bought by Christ through the blood He shed on the cross of Calvary to redeem them into his kingdom. (Rom. 6:22) Every Christian should remember the usefulness of his former life in sin, in order to appreciate his present life in the grace of God. (2 Pet. 2:20-22). We should try to maintain the grace by not turning to the life of sin from which we have escaped, and not to blasphemed the name of Jesus by our conduct. To disregard  lust of the flesh. And embrace love and grace that was poured out on the cross through the sacrificial offering of the incarnate son of God. (Rom.8:18). Wh...

WEAPONS IN SATAN ARMORY

By
This is the concluding part of the sermon on Christian Warfare. The Christians must be aware that Satan is alive and working in a deceived world of secular enticement and religious confusion. This is the first step in preparing ourselves to put on God’s armor so that we will not be led astray. Deception : This is the power of the devil to deceive and rules the world through: Eph 4:14 Sin Rom. 7:11, 2Cor 11:3. Through fake miracle done by his allies– Pastors, General Overseer, Prophets, Founders of churches. Matt. 24:11, 24. Through deception, Satan has instigated those institutions and governments that control society to lead people against the truth of God Acts 20:30, 1Timothy 4:1. Temptation : This is a missile that goes directly to pierce the mind and change it to do evil. Components of this missile that made it too dangerous are (i) lust of the eye (ii) Lust of the flesh and (iii) the pride of life 1 John 2:16, Mathew 4:1-11, Mathew 26:41. Fear/Shame : When Satan hits ...

Teaching: Enemies of the Cross

By
Teacher: Bro JERRY YENIGHA TEXT:- ROM.12:20-21 Let us consider those the bible referred to as enemies of the cross of Christ within the fold and outside the fold of God. These are enemies of God of his way, those who live and walk in  ways that negates the principles of Christianity and the course of Christ . such persons conscious or unconscious are the enemies of God.(Acts 13:10)   ENEMIES OF THE CROSS (Phil. 3:16-19) Note from the text above that Paul is concerned about the subject of ‘’Unity, and Harmony’’ in the church (The body of Christ) the Christians. (‘’walk by the same rule,….same mind’’). He enjoins all believers to follow his ‘’…example and pattern…’’ Not all of us here in Amarata Church are friends of God, so many of us are enemies of the way they profess. WE KNOW THAT GOD HAD ENEMIES: (Judges 5:31, Ps 68:1, 92:9; Rom. 5:10). God’s enemies were and are individuals and nations that acted contrary to his ways and open refusal to obey his will. ...
