God’s miracles glorify Him yet some will not believe

*18/02/2026* *40 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYERS* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God will sometimes overrule the natural order by the miraculous  God’s miracles glorify Him yet some will not believe  John 12:37 Jesus is about to end his public ministry and focus on his final instructions to his twelve disciples. Before he does so, John presents a brief report on the state of Jesus’ mission. The Jews had seen or heard of the many signs that Jesus had done in Judea and Galilee. John has not recorded all of the signs according to John 20:30 and John 2:23, but he has given details of seven of them: the changing of water into wine, the healing of a royal official’s son, the healing of a man who had been sick for thirty-eight years, the feeding of more than five thousand people, the walking on water, the healing of the man who was born blind and the raising of Lazarus. Yet despite all these signs, the Jews as a group in general still...

God will sometimes overrule the natural order by the miraculous.

*11/02/2026* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God will sometimes overrule the natural order by the miraculous  God’s miracles glorify Him  Numbers 14:22 Moses’ dramatic recitation led to God’s pardon of the rebels. The passion of God was seen in the exclamation of the words *as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD*. God scolded the people who had ignored the many evidences of His glory in their midst, and who had put Him to the test. God judgment was that the people who rejected Him would not see the land. Everyone was included except Caleb and Joshua. *©️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 IX

*08/02/2026* *SECOND SUNDAY SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God protects and watches over us IX 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 Although Paul was aware that the Thessalonians might be tempted and prove unfaithful, he was confident that God would establish or strengthen them. 2 Thessalonians 2:17; 1 Thessalonians 3:2,13 He knew that God would guard or protect them. Philippians 1:6 1 Thessalonians 5:24 In the previous verse, he had warned them concerning evil men. 2 Thessalonians 3:2 Here Paul assures them that God will faithfully stand watch over them so that not even the evil one, Satan himself, could get hold of them. This must have been especially comforting to the Thessalonians, for they were still experiencing severe persecution on account of their faith. 2 Thessalonians 1:4 *©️2026* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ™️* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+2348052366039* Ema...

God protects and watches over us VIII

*04/02/2026* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God protects and watches over us VIII 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 Rejoicing and gentleness are difficult during times of anxiety, and so Paul counsels the believers that they should be free from any kind of anxiety (Philippians 4:6). How? By being people of prayer and presenting everything to God with thanksgiving for the Lord’s mercy and forgiveness. For a Christian, God is an intimate friend and Lord who is able to help in all circumstances. By praying we allow him to share our burdens. The result of committing our anxieties to God is protection by the peace of God.

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*
