In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the deep connection between purpose, timing, and the will of God. Drawing from the temptation of Jesus in Matthew 4, we are reminded that not everything we can do—or even pray for—should be done. The question is not always, “Is it possible?” but “Is it time?”This message unpacks how spiritual results are not always about intensity, but about alignment with God's purpose. It's not just about asking—it's about asking within the context of divine seasons and purpose (Ecclesiastes 9:11, James 4:3).Key takeaways include:

In this teaching, we're reminded that God often moves in ways we least expect—not always in fire, wind, or earthquakes, but in whispers.

In this stirring episode, we explore how prayer is not just a tool for requests—but a weapon for spiritual stability.

To truly understand faith, we need to study the people whose faith Jesus personally commended—and surprisingly, none of them were Jews. In this episode, we dive into the stories of the Roman centurion, the Canaanite woman, and the ten lepers, uncovering what made their faith stand out. Apostle shares a powerful insight: overfamiliarity with faith teachings can dull our expectations from God. So, how do we break free from unbelief? By reflecting on past divine encounters and curating biblical stories of those who triumphed through faith. Let these lessons reignite your expectation and trust in God.

Faith isn't meant to intimidate—it's meant to inspire. In this episode, we explore how the teachings of Jesus and the examples of faith in Scripture are meant to ignite courage, not fear.

Learn how faith reprograms your mindset, why you no longer need to fear death, and how the sacrifice of Jesus secures your purpose and future. Plus, a thought-provoking look at the resurrection story: if Jesus' body was stolen, why wasn't there an investigation? Dive in and be reminded—you're not a slave to fear; you're victorious in Christ!

In the Old Testament, access to God followed a strict protocol.Israel was the first nation God called His own. Despite their imperfections, God still gave them His law and chose them as His people. But even within Israel, not everyone had access; God chose people by grace.But now, through Christ, the veil has been torn. The old protocols are no longer barriers. We have direct access to God, not by lineage, but by faith.He is God to everyone, but Father to us.

- The story of Jacob was one with a legacy of faith as he blessed Joseph's sons. He didn't speak of wealth or success, but rather spoke of God — the One who shepherded him all his life. (Genesis 48:15-16)- The word Angel is a blanket term, and in some places, the “Angel of the Lord” is God Himself. (Genesis 31:11-13, Genesis 22:11-18, Joshua 5:14)- Jude 1:5 ESV says it was Jesus who saved the people out of Egypt. This is a progression in revelation, from the “Angel of the Lord” to the Lord Himself.oreshadowed from the beginning. (Genesis 6:14, Leviticus 16:30, Exodus 12)- Your morality will never be enough to save you. Only the blood qualifies you.

Satan has no legal right over God's people.However, it is our job to continually trample on him as a believer. Apostle Iren said before we can trample on Satan, we must first see him, Satan, as fallen.He further emphasized that just because we are born again, does not mean we are free from the devil and his strategies. We must actively exercise our authority against him and his cohorts (1 Peter 5:8, Luke 10:19).Two types of authority

Know Your Enemy (KYE)He emphasized that in spiritual warfare, understanding the enemy's limitations and tendencies is important (2 Corinthians 2:11).Apostle Iren reminded us that we already know who the devil is—a liar, a murderer, and a thief (John 8:44, Revelation 12:9, 1 Samuel 17:34-35).Using the story of David and Goliath, he illustrated a key principle: spiritual warfare is won by spiritual tactics.The reason King Saul allowed a boy (David) to face a giant (Goliath) was because of his resume and not by faith (1 Samuel 16:18; Judges 20:15-16).David vs. Goliath was a fair fight because David knew his enemy. Goliath was big but slow, and David used his sling strategically to win from a distance.What We Should Know About Satan and His Angels:

In the morning session, Day 2 of CAMPUS INVASION, Pastor Emmanuel Iren taught on "Things to know when preparing for the future."Apostle opened the sermon teaching by saying there must be a balance of wisdom and power in preparing for the future. He used his life as a critical example of a strong manifestation of the wisdom of God.He further stated that there are things we must learn and do early in preparing for the future.The first point discussed was to MAKE RELATIONSHIP CHOICES BRILLIANTLY.Apostle made us understand that there are things that are accrued to us not by intelligence but by relationships. He added that if one is poor with relationships, one will hinder the move of God in one's life. The spirit and power to discern has been given to men, and thus, we must build the right and healthy relationship. An example examined was Abraham, who was hospitable to the angels of his blessings. Luke 24:28Apostle further admonished us to be of good behaviour and be hospitable. He emphasized that there are many encounters one would miss if one is not hospitable.He added that some angelic encounters are provoked by hospitality, not only by praying and fasting. He said that the world thrives on relationships and thus, we should not treat people less and we should not be arrogant.In addition, Apostle spoke on three levels of relationship that we must be conscious about

In the school of the Spirit, there's a way to respond. You can be a master in the subject of peace. You can become more fluent in the language of faith.Colossians 3:15 tells us to let the peace of God rule in our hearts and this means two things:1. Peace is not an event. It's not out of your control.2. Peace is up to you. You can give it permission. You can decide that you're going to allow peace reign. A perfect example is Jesus Christ on the cross. Luke 23:28✨ There's a level of training required in mastering peace. If the Bible tells you “let peace reign” (Colossians 3:15), it's because it's possible.MISTAKES MANY CHURCHES MAKE IN THE NAME OF DEMONSTRATION OF FAITH1. We deny facts in the name of faith. Be like Jesus in Matthew 26:382. We're not trained to expect challengesWe do not know what tomorrow holds. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” (James 4:14-15)Like Jesus, you must have the humility in prayer where you say “nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” Matthew 26:39THREE THINGS YOU'LL PROBABLY EXPERIENCE AT SOME POINT IN YOUR LIFE:1. Being financially brokeThe revelation of the Rehoboth is not complete until you know how to move on from losses. Genesis 26:22; 1 Timothy 6:17.2. SicknessYou will need your strength to stand and fight. Philippians 2:25-28. When you hear bad news, rehearse your response.3. HeartbreakThis is beyond romantic heartbreaks. At some point in your life, people will disappoint you. Learn to handle it.HERE'S HOW TO MASTER PEACE

Honoring God Through Action and Hospitality

How not to backslide:

There are two miraculous encounters we should expect in every meeting:

The Joy of the Lord.He emphasized the importance of protecting our joy, and while we may face situations that trigger anger or sadness beyond our control, we can always control our response.People may hurt us, but we must take ownership of our reactions and safeguard our joy. (Nehemiah 6:3)6 Things to Know About Biblical Joy;

Three things to draw from Genesis about marriage:1. To have a happy home, you must be ready to die to self. A good home must be borne out of a dead man. Genesis 2:21. You cannot truly love another selflessly and rightly according to God's standards until you die to self. You must practice forgiveness and forgive even those who do not deserve forgiveness. Ephesians 4:32. You must learn to lose a battle to win a war: pick your battles. It is part of oneness that you let go of your privileges.2. Purpose: God gave Adam a job before he gave him a spouse which points to the fact that one of the ways to have a happy home is to get an office. Genesis 2:15. God did not design us to be idle, if you are, you are straining from God's natural order because Idleness is dangerous. Build support systems for each other apart from each other. Find wise older women to befriend and find wise older men for your husband to befriend.3. Man is the head of the home: psychologically, when a woman is with the right man, she'll let him lead. Ephesians 5:22, Colossians 3:18-22. Don't marry a man whose leadership you do not trust.4. There is a level of sacrifice and empathy required to make marriage work.When you notice that you're falling out of love, you need to learn that love is a command. Acting like a man “in love” he became in love. Look at your woman and “call her” what you want her to be. Call your partner what God has called them. Change your perspective. Be a doer and not just a hearer.

PHILOPHOBIA - the fear of falling in love. This is the fear of vulnerability or emotional dependence. It makes you want to avoid relationships or end relationships abruptly due to fear that things are beginning to get deep.Key points to note:

Preserving The Culture Of Charismatic GiftsApostle Emmanuel IrenPsalm 131:1-3There is a protocol for the supernatural. The assembly of the brethren remains God's idea. There is a positive provocation in the right direction.How To Preserve Charismatic Gifts:1. Get your environment right.Fellowship with the right people. When you gather with the saints, there would be a flow of grace. 1 Samuel 10:11 It is God's design for us to dwell together in unity and belong to a local assembly.
