Many want to act what God has done in them without knowing what God has done.Because your Heavenly Father is holy, you can live holy.Conduct is the natural outflow of revelation.Salvation is a miracle of changed desires — your heart has been made tender toward the Lord, and now the Spirit is at work in you to will and to do.Don't just burn for God — burn with truth.If you listen to falsehood enough, you'll believe it.Tend your fireplace: pray, study, fast, fellowship, evangelise.Listen to this stirring message and be blessed.

We invest in the Lord and the things of God because that is where true gold is.Many times, laying up treasures in eternity means destroying treasures on the earth.The world may regard what we lose in our pursuit of God as loss, but for us, it is profit because we have found a treasure of inestimable value—and this treasure is worth more than anything. So, we run after Him: God.Listen to this sermon and be stirred in your walk with God and your consecration to God.

Today's teaching emphasized the power and importance of gathering as believers. God moves uniquely when His people come together — gatherings are not ordinary but sacred moments where His Spirit is present. We don't gather casually; we come as temples of God, prepared to meet Him. Throughout Scripture, we see that when believers united in prayer and purpose, the supernatural was released. The gathering of the saints strengthens us, reveals God's presence, and allows every member of the body to contribute and grow. Community is where fullness and transformation happen.Listen to this stirring sermon and be blessed.

At our 5-hour prayer meeting, Overturn, Pastor Nelson shared a powerful charge on Hindrances to prayer: 1. Selfish Motives – Praying with self-centered desires places us at the center instead of God. 2. Unbelief – God gives freely, but we must ask in faith. The issue isn't His giving, but our receiving. 3. Under-Praying / Spiritual Warfare – Like Elijah and Jesus, we must persist in prayer. Don't quit too soon. 4. Sin – God accepts the man before the sacrifice. Cain's offering lacked what Abel's had—purity. Don't come before God with strife or unrepentant sin.Prayer is not time wasted, but time invested.

God's goodness is more than kindness—it reveals His very nature. To call Jesus good is to declare Him as God. His justice and judgment flow from His goodness, and even when we don't fully understand, we can trust Him completely.Fellowshipping with the Good God transforms us—His goodness shapes our lives and reflects through us. And our response? Thanksgiving. Not just for what He's done, but for who He is. The cross remains the ultimate display of His goodness.Listen to this sermon to understand the goodness of God.

The Bible shows us how intentional God is and how all gifts he gives are good. Nothing God ever does is mere or unimportant. This includes also the gifts of the Spirit. Pastor Nelson lays a good foundation on the gift of speaking in tongues in this teaching, explaining what it means scripturally and how it is a good gift given by God to aid us in prayers. Listen to this teaching on praying in tongues and be encouraged to practice in your devotion.

Isaiah 66:1 describes the heavens as His throne, and the earth His footstool. This gives a picture of how great God is. Comparable to none. In this teaching, we learn that the opposite of God is blank, and because of how majestic God is we believe there is nothing impossible for him. This sermon lays emphasis on the greatness of God and the fearful application of this in our lives as His children.

God is consistently merciful, this is His nature. We see many instances in the Bible. In the story of Nineveh, in the psalms David wrote; God is Just, slow to anger and merciful in spite of the inconsistent nature of man. The ultimate show of His Mercy is in the salvation story. Now in prayers, when we see how helpless and frail we are as humans, we must rely on the mercy of God.Listen to this teaching on the merciful nature of God and how it plays out in prayer.

To fear the Lord is not just to be afraid of Him, but to also revere Him. The fear of the Lord is a  profound, adoring respect that draws us to Him, not away. The fear of God boosts our confidence in approaching Him and is the starting place for intimacy with Him. It means to hold Him in high esteem, to hallow Him, to adore Him above anyone and anything else. When we fear God, we take on His heart, do what pleases Him, depart from evil, walk in humility, obey His word, and respect authority. True worship cannot exist without awe—this fear includes trembling at His presence and at His word.Be blessed as you listen to this sermon.

Sovereignty is not merely a character trait of God—there is no attribute per se but it is a nature that is a necessity arising from the fact that God exists. God's attribute is that He rules over all; He is not a force but a person who is able to work all things according to the counsel of His will. God is King over your life to the extent that you allow Him. It takes a sovereign God to give man freedom and yet still remain in control.Listen to this sermon to understand the sovereignty of God.

God is the one who knows no boundaries or limitations! In the realm of God, possibilities are a norm!God is good, not just because the end will be good but also because the means will be good.We serve a God who knows no boundaries NOR limitations!There is no such thing as ‘ALL' of Gods power - God's power cannot be quantified.Listen to this sermon to learn more about the omnipotence and omniscience of God.

It is a blessing to know that in this changing world, there is a God that is unchangeable his love is still the same, His mercy, His glory, His power, all never changing!Immutability means unchanging. Applying this to God, it means God never differs from Himself. He is unchanging. He is the perfect being that there is, that is why He is immutable. The most perfect being; God, cannot become any better even the best drawers it's best from Him. With man, change is inevitable but with God, change is impossible. God is the first and the last. Hebrews 13:8When the Bible says ‘the Lord repented' or ‘remembered' it is using anthropomorphic attributes. This limiting terms are used to highlight God's love, not to limit Him, it is to limit his nature for our own understanding.The validity of any information is based on who said it and God's words are not mere words, they are backed by His power and His character. The word of God is powerful because of the one who said it is eternal and unchangeable.Listen to this sermon to understand the immutability of God.

God's jealousy is never rooted in vices (Galatians 5:20); rather, it flows from His deep love for us (2 Corinthians 11:2). He desires to protect us from the idols that can take root in our hearts because we are at our best when we follow him and we are at our worst when we follow our appetite and emotions alone.The wisdom of God is protective and the God who is a jealous God is the all wise God. His omnibenevolence shows that He is protective of you. Anything He tells you to do, do it because it is for your good.Be blessed as you listen to this sermon.

Even in God's wrath and justice, we see God's goodness. He was patient with humanity, giving man ample time to turn from their wickedness before executing judgment. God is just, and His justice is never severe or unjustified—rather, it follows His long-suffering nature (Romans 2:15).The destruction of the Canaanites was not an act of genocide but an expression of God's righteous judgment (Deu 7:1-2; Deu 20:16-17). What we sometimes perceive as harshness is, in reality, an extension of God's goodness— when God sent Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden, it was  an act of mercy—their escape from damnation. Ultimately, through Jesus Christ, God has provided a way of escape for all who have believed.

The story of Abraham and Isaac wasn't about cruelty—it was a picture of Jesus. Abraham trusted God completely, believing He could even raise Isaac from the dead (Genesis 22:1-5, Hebrews 11:18-19). This was a foreshadowing of God sacrificing His Son for us.God's judgment is real, and we can't ignore it. Stories like Sodom and Gomorrah and Noah's flood reminds us that a final judgment is coming. But through Jesus, we have escaped judgement.Listen to this sermon and learn about God's goodness even in His wrath.

In our latest teaching series, Pastor Nelson delved into 'The Gavel and the Judge', exploring the complex topic of God's wrath. God's wrath isn't separate from His love, mercy, and justice; it's a demonstration of His holiness, righteousness, and jealousy. As Hebrews 10:30 reminds us, those who break the law will be judged. God is merciful to the repentant and wrathful to the unrepentant. God judges by His own standard, and no one can meet them except you're covered by Jesus' atoning blood.God's wrath is not the absence of God, but the presence of His majesty to judge, often provoked by humanity's wickedness (Genesis 18:25-26). Listen to this sermon to understand the theological basis of God's wrath, rooted in His holiness (Romans 1:18), righteousness (Romans 2:15), and jealousy - one of His very names.

Everything is good to the degree to which it conforms to God, and everything is evil to the degree to which it does not conform to God.No attribute of God conflicts with any other attribute of God. He is as good and just when He rewards good as He is good and just when He recompenses evil with justice.If God is just, and the message of His severity against sin and His punishing of the guilty is clear, how then is the Christian message that God is justifying the unjust? The only answer is Mercy. God, in His divine mercy, decided to die on the cross for us.Listen to this message and learn about the Justice of God.

Christianity is between God and man, but God must always be the main focus because He is eternal and we are limited. We cannot live for ourselves neither can we leave for Men. God exist for himself and Man exist to give God glory. If anything we do is done away from God's plan, we are declaring sufficiency in ourselves instead of being dependent on the creator. Our giving, our honour, our love is reciprocal; God is the one that First gave and everything we do is all replicating the goodness he first showed to us.

You cannot separate the Aseity of God from the rightful dependence of man. The rightful posture of the created to the creator is worship. The rightful posture of that which is time bound to that which is eternal is worship! Sin wants us to choose self over God. It wants us to pick us not God.  The moment we recognize that we are dependent on God, only then can we continue to live the way God expects us to. We must recognise God as our only source. Listen to this sermon and be blessed.

When we reflect on the Majesty of God, our response should naturally be one of worship. He is worthy of our highest worship because of His greatness. When the quality of our worship diminishes, it often reveals that our view of the One we worship isn't grand or majestic enough. Our God is both majestic and deeply personal; ever present with us. He stands apart, unchanging, forever. Take time to listen to this powerful sermon on the Majesty of God, and be blessed.

Can our minds ever conceive God fully? How did God choose to make Himself known, and what does His revelation teach us about His heart? What about His attributes? How is His infinite nature revealed in the profound mystery of the Trinity?  In this sermon, Pastor answers these questions about this Incomprehensible God we serve. It is our prayer that the eyes of your understanding are enlightened as you listen.

Knowing God is the foundation of every Christian practice. Without it, prayer, worship, and purpose become misaligned. Our lives find true meaning when centered on God, not on our desires or misconceptions. This teaching challenges us to seek personal encounters with God, avoid creating idols from false images of Him, and let His grace guide our walk. Take time to meditate on who God truly is. Listen to this teaching and grow in your knowledge of Him!

Seasons like the new year call for gratitude and reflection; an opportunity to pause, pray, and align with God's purpose. We are called to live by a higher standard, God's standard. Some blessings await the version of us still in the making, so let's step boldly into the new year, focused on His will. It is our prayer that you are blessed and charged up for the new year by this powerful sermon.

Worship is not just about singing a song; it's about giving God the honor He truly deserves. It's a deliberate act of reverence, done according to His pattern, not our preferences. Our hearts and our mouths must align, offering worship that is pure and intentional. Let's remember that worship is about Him, not us. He is a God deserving of meticulous and heartfelt praise! Listen to this powerful sermon on Worship and be blessed!

The celebration of Christmas has historical roots that predate or are not related to the pagan holidays it is often associated with. Even biblically, many arguments against Christmas and elements like the Christmas tree are taken out of context. In this sermon, Pastor Nelson provides an expository teaching on Christmas. Be equipped and blessed as you listen!

A believer is not sinless but learns to sin less, unlearning the ways of death and embracing the true life found in Christ. This transformation is ongoing, as we exchange our old nature for His righteousness. In Christ, we are freed from the grip of sin and empowered to live for God. Only the man in Christ can experience this new life, growing daily in holiness and reflecting His glory. Be blessed as you listen.

Scripture speaks of the living hope we've been born into as believers—a hope that is neither corruptible nor fleeting like the things of this world. It is the hope of glory, made evident by Christ who is in us through the Spirit.  Listen to this sermon and be encouraged in the hope we eagerly await as followers of Christ!

Priesthood has a response,we don't practice dead orthodoxy. In prayer and worship, there's a response to be gotten.  The God of the Bible isn't just to be known; He's to be experienced. The priesthood we've come into carries a tangible outworking.  Be stirred as you listen!

From the structure of the Levitical priesthood in the Old Testament, we see how each member of the house of Levi had a unique role in keeping the fire on the altar burning continually.   Now, as priests in the new covenant, we each have an important part to play in fulfilling God's will. As believers, we are called to align with what God would have us do.   We pray you are instructed and edified as you listen.

Eating in Scripture symbolized fellowship and covenant. Jesus revealed that the Passover and manna pointed to Him as the true bread of life, calling us to partake in His covenant and eternal life. As priests, we now offer sacrifices: our praise, actions, resources, and lives. We must live to reflect His glory and lead our homes as examples of faith. Listen to this teaching and embrace your calling as a priest in Christ!

From scriptures, we see the role of the priest is to offer sacrifices of atonement and to offer intercessory prayers for the people before the Lord. Under the new covenant, because of Christ's sacrifice, we now have access, so when we stand in the place of prayer, it's an act of worship, expressing our honor for Him. Listen to this teaching and be stirred to pray!

In the Old Testament, the high priest entered the Holy of Holies to offer atonement for Israel's sins regularly. Under the new covenant, Jesus is our eternal High Priest, whose once-for-all sacrifice has redeemed us. We pray that as you listen to this teaching, you gain a deeper understanding of Jesus as our High Priest!

God, needing nothing, calls us to worship for our good. Like Israel called from Egypt, we are called to reflect His holiness and shine His light. As priests, we teach His truth, guard His holiness, and model His ways. Worship is about Him; our lives must tell His story. Listen and be inspired to live for His glory!

It's our annual camp meeting soon and in this message Pastor Nelson teaches us on how to position our hearts and get ready for camp meeting.  It is a time of consecration and refocusing our hearts on God. It's about seeking Him with intention, not worrying about tomorrow but being present today. With open hearts and attentiveness, we come together to grow in faith, build godly principles, and live to please Him. Don't forget to share with family and friends.

Rounding up the Faith series, Pastor Nelson taught on Faith vs foolishness. As believers, We put our complete faith in God, but we should also make sure not to do away with common sense. We live our lives by the wisdom of God. It is wisdom to obey God! If the Lord says to do, it may sometimes look foolish but it is wise to obey God! Some questions were also answered in conclusion of the teaching series. It is our prayer that your mind is renewed as you listen.

Faith is not just an act, it acting according to the word of God. Our faith confessions must be actual faith confessions, that is; confessing what we believe. If we don't confess what we believe, it can be questioned if we truly believe. God is the one who creates things with His words, what we do is speak those words. Listen to this teaching on Vocal Faith and be blessed!

Faith is believing in God who is faithful, true and good. Beyond looking at the seemingly impossibilities around you, you can persevere and focus solely on God, holding on to His word which is a testament of His faithfulness.  Real Faith is tenacious. Listen to this teaching by Pastor Nelson Iheagwam as we continue in the Faith is series.

Faith is following God. In this sermon titled Following Faith, Pastor Nelson expounds on how Faith is a relationship and not a formula. Faith involves bringing our unbelief to Jesus and trusting Him even when things don't go as we expect. A man of great Faith is a man of prayer. It is not about commanding God but trusting both His power and wisdom. Ultimately, faith is not just about receiving from God, but about following Him. Be blessed as you listen.

We start a new teaching series, learning about a worldwide popular concept, FAITH. Looking at scripture, we see three major contexts on what Faith is. This teaching serves as an introductory into the series on Faith. We look at what the word of God says on what Faith is and what Faith is not.  Listen to this message by Pastor Nelson and be blessed.

Prayer is an expression of humility. If God feels far, all we have to do is draw near to Him and He will draw near to us. We cannot serve God only when it is convenient. The Christian life is not an 'ad on' to your earthly life, the Christian life is a surrendered life. In this sermon, Pastor Nelson teaches on the importance and the hows of building a prayer altar. It's our prayer that you're blessed as you listen.

Is the gift of tongues still present today? Is tongues a human language? Is praying in tongues gibberish? Why speak in tongues? When should we pray in tongues? Should we pray in tongues in public? These and several other questions about the gift of tongues were properly answered and explained according to scripture in this teaching.  It is our prayer that you are blessed and edified by this teaching.

The Bible instructs us to Love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul and with all our mind. Loving God and knowing God in this entirety is Worship. Being mindful in prayer is a form of Worship to God. Our minds can be fruitful in prayers when we pray contemplating the Mighty God we are praying to.  Listen to this edifying teaching on praying to God and be blessed.

Baptism and Communion are important sacraments of the Christian faith, we see this spoken of in scriptures. In this teaching, Pastor Nelson expounds on their significance not just as mere symbols but important signs pointing to Christ. Be blessed as you listen!

Christianity is a taught faith and it is deeply rooted in the Word of God. Believers are called to gather, stir one another up, and exemplify the life of a true believer. When we gather, we are stirred up in faith and equipped to do good works. Our time in fellowship is essential, not just for our own growth, but for the blessing and strengthening of others. Each of us has something to give, and we are called to be a blessing to one another. The righteousness God has called us to must be reflected in how we live, as a testament to the powerful work He's done in our hearts. Be blessed as you listen to this powerful sermon.

Desiring spiritual gifts is important, but our motives must be grounded in love and service for God. If we're not careful, our pursuit can shift toward a power drive or recognition, leading us away from God's purpose. In this message, we'll see how to seek these gifts with the right heart, ensuring they are used to serve others, build us up, and glorify God. It is our prayer that as you listen to this message, you are blessed and stirred up to desire spiritual gifts with a heart of love and service.

The gifts of the Spirit are just as important today as they were in the early church. In 1 Corinthians 12:1, Paul reminds us not to be ignorant about these gifts, and throughout scripture, we see him teaching the church about their significance. In this panel session, Pastor Nelson and his friends in ministry will answer common questions about spiritual gifts in our time.  Let's explore how the Holy Spirit is working through us today. Be blessed!

Our love for Jesus should be evident in all we do, even in the smallest actions. This sermon teaches that faith doesn't shield us from trials, but through them, God shapes us to reflect Christ. In every season, whether we are in abundance or in lack, we should trust God's goodness. We pray that as you listen, may you be encouraged and strengthened. Don't forget to share this message with others!

The Christian Faith is practiced communally. Having an individualistic Christianity is not God's plan. Biblically we see Paul describe men as a means to communicate God's goodness to His people. Ministry gifts are expressions of the goodness of God; they exist for the body of Christ and for the growth of the believer. The believer must be grounded in truth and thoroughly equipped that they are not moved by false doctrine. It is our prayer that as you listen to this sermon, you are better for it. Don't forget to share with your family and friends.

Oh, what a glorious day it will be when we finally behold the One we've longed for—the hope of our glory, the fulfillment of every promise. All our faith, all our waiting, will find its beautiful completion in His presence. Listen to this powerful message on Glorification by Pastor Nelson and be blessed.

In this sermon, we dove into the topic of sanctification and how it plays out in the Christian life; shaping and aligning the believer to God's will. Listen and be blessed.

The Bible shows we are justified by faith but what does this mean? How does this play out in the legalities of salvation and what does justification mean for the man in Christ? In this sermon,  we will be exploring the topic "Name Tag: Justification" Listen and be blessed.
