God protects and watches over us VII

*01/02/2026* *THANKSGIVING SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God protects and watches over us VII Genesis 28:15 Deuteronomy 32:11 Isaiah 25:4 Jude 24-25 Matthew 23:37 John 17:11 Philippians 4:6-7 2 Thessalonians 3:3 The first thing Jesus requested for his disciples was protection by the Father’s power. This reveals Jesus’ keen sensitivity to the plight of His disciples brought on by His departure. He was going to the Father, but they would be left behind. Jesus asked the Father to keep the disciples through his name, that is, to keep them true to the revelation of God that Jesus had given to them while He was with them. The disciples would have a new union with the Father and Son through the future indwelling of the Holy Spirit. *Tithes & Offering* Genesis 14:18-20 Account name:  *The Ecumenican Church* Account number: 2280020397 Banker: *Eco Bank Nig.

God protects and watches over us VI

*28/01/2026* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God protects and watches over us VI Genesis 28:15 Deuteronomy 32:11 Isaiah 25:4 Jude 24-25 Matthew 23:37 John 17:11 Philippians 4:6-7 2 Thessalonians 3:3 Calling a name twice, as in *Jerusalem, Jerusalem*, indicates strong emotion. Matthew 27:46 2 Samuel 18:33 Acts 9:4 The phrases *I wanted* and *you were not willing* illustrate the opposition of Israel to Christ’s will. (Psalms 91:4, for another image of a mother hen). The fearful word of judgment in Matthew 23:35-36 seems to point to the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. Yet Jesus’ pastoral heart is clearly seen in his offer of God’s love to the rebel city (Matthew 23:37). He patiently waits for the people’s response, and does not force them to come to him. *©️2026* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ™️* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+2348052366039* Email: *johnifesanya@gmail.com* *www.johnifesanya.blogspot.com* *#ECN Ibadan #* Powered by *JDIS*

God protects and watches over us V

*25/01/2026* *ANOINTING HEALING AND COMMUNION SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God protects and watches over us V Genesis 28:15 Deuteronomy 32:11 Isaiah 25:4 Jude 24-25 Matthew 23:37 John 17:11 Philippians 4:6-7 2 Thessalonians 3:3 God is able to keep us from stumbling. Psalms 37:23,24; 12:1-3 Proverbs 4:11,12 He guards us in this life, despite all the dangers and pitfalls that deceivers put in our way. *Faultless* is a Greek word used of sacrificial animals that had no blemish and thus were fit to be offered to God. Only God can save us, cleanse us from our sins and present us to Himself as faultless, for God is the Author and Perfecter of our faith.

God protects and watches over us IV

*21/01/2026* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God protects and watches over us IV Genesis 28:15 Deuteronomy 32:11 Isaiah 25:4 Jude 24-25 Matthew 23:37 John 17:11 Philippians 4:6-7 2 Thessalonians 3:3 Jude concludes his letter with exuberant praise for the Lord, who alone could keep us from being deceived. *Stumbling* probably refers to the possibility of being tripped up by the false teachers’ errors. Note that Jude does not use the word falling, but stumbling. Only a person who is already walking or running (frequent biblical images of the Christian life) can stumble.

God protects and watches over us III

*18/01/2026* *THIRD SUNDAY SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God protects and watches over us III Genesis 28:15 Deuteronomy 32:11 Isaiah 25:4 Jude 24-25 Matthew 23:37 John 17:11 Philippians 4:6-7 2 Thessalonians 3:3 The Lord is praised because his actions are unique. He sets himself apart from other powers and confounds them (Isaiah 25:2-3). Unlike many powerful people in this world, he doesn’t protect only those close to him while sacrificing the interests of others. Instead, he provides a shelter for the poor and needy. Welcome and assistance for the most underprivileged is a characteristic of God, as is most clearly demonstrated in the incarnation of Christ.

God protects and watches over us II

*14/01/2026* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God protects and watches over us II Genesis 28:15 Deuteronomy 32:11 Isaiah 25:4 Jude 24-25 Matthew 23:37 John 17:11 Philippians 4:6-7 2 Thessalonians 3:3 Moses reminds the people of Israel that God had chosen them (Deuteronomy 32:8-9), had cared for them in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 32:10-12) and had brought them into the fertile land of Canaan with its abundance of food (Deuteronomy 32:13-14). The *eagle* is a bird of prey commonly found in the desert regions. The song compares God’s actions towards Israel with the care a mother bird showers on her young. *God not only protected His children, He provided for them, got them moving, watched over them, and guided them to the Promised Land* (Exodus 19:4). In all these actions He proved Himself to be a loving Father to the Israelites (Deuteronomy 32:6). *©️2026* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ™️* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+2348052366039* Email: *joh...

God protects and watches over us

*11/01/2026* *SECOND SUNDAY SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God protects and watches over us Genesis 28:15 Deuteronomy 32:11 Isaiah 25:4 Jude 24-25 Matthew 23:37 John 17:11 Philippians 4:6-7 2 Thessalonians 3:3 God’s words so far have also been spoken to Abraham and Isaac, but now God speaks specifically to assure Jacob of his presence and protection. Right when Jacob was running away from the consequences of his lies, God mercifully chose to reaffirm His promises. Jacob was in no position to earn God’s favor. Yet God promised to be with him. *©️2026* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ™️* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+2348052366039* Email: *johnifesanya@gmail.com* *www.johnifesanya.blogspot.com* *#ECN Ibadan #* Powered by *JDIS*
