the Lord is one

 *09/04/2025* *40 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYERS* *MID WEEK SERVICE* THEME: *THE NATURE OF GOD* (Hebrew pl.'elohim) Text: Genesis 1:1,26 Deuteronomy 7:9 Isaiah 45:18 TOPIC: *UNIQUENESS AND ONENESS OF GOD*  - the Lord is one  Deuteronomy 4:35 Mark 12:29 Yahweh distinguished himself from the other deities of the period by his specific revelation of himself according to Deuteronomy 4:33,35, through his actions in leading them out of Egypt and to the promised land according to Deuteronomy 4:34,37-38 and by speaking to them directly in Deuteronomy 4:33,36 when he gave them the law.

the "only God" II

 *06/04/2025* *40 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYERS* *THANKSGIVING SERVICE* THEME: *THE NATURE OF GOD* (Hebrew pl.'elohim) Text: Genesis 1:1,26 Deuteronomy 7:9 Isaiah 45:18 TOPIC: *UNIQUENESS AND ONENESS OF GOD*  - the "only God" II John 5:44 Jude 25 Jude concludes his letter with exuberant praise for the Lord, who alone could keep from being deceived. *Stumbling* refers to the possibility of being tripped up by 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. Galatians 5:7 1 Thessalonians 4:1 Hebrews 12:1 1 John 2:6 God is able to keep us from stumbling. Psalms 37:23,24 Psalms 121:3 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, clea...

UNIQUENESS AND ONENESS OF GOD

 *02/04/2025* *40 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYERS* *MID WEEK SERVICE* THEME: *THE NATURE OF GOD* (Hebrew pl.'elohim) Text: Genesis 1:1,26 Deuteronomy 7:9 Isaiah 45:18 TOPIC: *UNIQUENESS AND ONENESS OF GOD*  - the "only God" John 5:44 Jude 25 The people did not believe in Jesus because they did not seek *honor that comes from the only God.* This honor may be similar to Paul's view of the glory that will be revealed in us in the presence of God.

He is the giver of eternal life

 *30/03/2025* *40 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYERS* *ANOINTING HEALING AND COMMUNION SERVICE* THEME: *THE NATURE OF GOD* (Hebrew pl.'elohim) Text: Genesis 1:1,26 Deuteronomy 7:9 Isaiah 45:18 TOPIC: *SELF-EXISTENT*  - He is the giver of eternal life. Revelation 21:6 *It is done* echoes the voice from the throne in Revelation 16:17 that proclaims the completion of God's wrath being poured out on Babylon. Here the completion of the new creation by Him who is *the Alpha and the Omega* of all things is the focus. *Water of life* recalls Jesus' references to living water in John 4:14; 7:38, in connection with eternal life and life in the Holy Spirit. This water is further described in Revelation 22:1. A similar offer of God's grace *to him who* spiritually *thirsts* is repeated in Revelation 22:17 *©2025* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ®* Instagram: *@ecumenicanchurch* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+2348052366039* Email: *johnifesanya@gmail.com* *www.johnifesanya.blogspot.com* *#ECN Ibadan #* Powe...

He is the giver of the born-again life II

 *26/03/2025* *40 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYERS* *MID WEEK SERVICE* THEME: *THE NATURE OF GOD* (Hebrew pl.'elohim) Text: Genesis 1:1,26 Deuteronomy 7:9 Isaiah 45:18 TOPIC: *SELF-EXISTENT*  - He is the giver of the born-again life II John 3:6 1 Corinthians 15:45 The first man Adam became a living being according to 1 Corinthians 15:45 and Genesis 2:7 but the last Adam (Christ) became a Life-giving spirit. The first Adam (natural) came before the second Adam (spiritual). The contrast is not between a material body and an immaterial body, but between a body subject to death and a body that is immortal. The Greek term translated *spiritual* here refers to a body directed by the Spirit, as opposed to one dominated by the flesh  1 Corinthians 2:15; 10:4 *First man and second Man* contrasts the sinful nature that every person inherits with the righteous nature that comes through Christ. *©2025* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ®* Instagram: *@ecumenicanchurch* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+23480523...

He is the giver of the born-again life

 *23/03/2025* *40 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYERS* *FOURTH SUNDAY SERVICE* THEME: *THE NATURE OF GOD* (Hebrew pl.'elohim) Text: Genesis 1:1,26 Deuteronomy 7:9 Isaiah 45:18 TOPIC: *SELF-EXISTENT*  - He is the giver of the born-again life. John 3:6 1 Corinthians 15:45 Jesus states that this 'new birth ' involves being born of water and the Spirit. John 3:5-7 There is some debate about what exactly this means, but Jesus is probably referring to John the Baptist's water baptism and his own baptism with the Holy Spirit. John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He called people to leave their old ways of life in preparation for the coming of Jesus. Luke 3:7-14 Jesus' baptism with the Holy Spirit according to John 1:33 brings a newness of character and the energy to move on as a member of the family of God. *Flesh cannot be made into spirit. A person must experience a spiritual rebirth* John 3:7 *©2025* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ®* Instagram: *@ecumenicanchurch* WhatsApp/...

He is the giver of natural life

 *19/03/2025* *40 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYERS* *MID WEEK SERVICE* THEME: *THE NATURE OF GOD* (Hebrew pl.'elohim) Text: Genesis 1:1,26 Deuteronomy 7:9 Isaiah 45:18 TOPIC: *SELF-EXISTENT*  - He is the giver of natural life. Genesis 2:7 The man was like the rest of creation in being formed of the dust of the ground, but what made him different from the rest of creation was the breath of life from God that entered the formed dust. This breath transformed the dust into a human being created in the image of God. The word 'breath' can also be translated as 'spirit'. It is the spirit of God that places human beings in a living relationship with the Creator and makes all the difference between them and other creatures. That is why the Spirit is given anew to those who turn to Christ and receive forgiveness for their sins.
