Sermon Notes: PATHWAYS TO WEALTH Speaker: Rev. Dr.  Ebenezer Okronipa Occasion: Finance Convention Day 1 Key Scripture: “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth...” — Deuteronomy 8:18 I. The Spiritual Foundation of Wealth The Power to Get Wealth: Wealth is not merely an accident; it is an ability given by God. If God gives you the "map" or the "key," it is because He intends for you to arrive at the destination of abundance. Prosperity as a Spirit: Prosperity attracts those who carry a specific spiritual alignment and repels those who do not. Poverty can be a "stronghold" or a "lock" that keeps people in a cycle of bad decisions. The Mentality of Wealth: Breaking the spirit of poverty is only the first step. One must also deal with the mentality and habits of poverty, or the spirit will return. II. The Prophetic and Strategic Connection The Role of the Man of God: A spiritual leader carries the capacity to help "make many rich" (2 Corinthians 6:10). Spiritual encounters and prophetic instructions are often the "activators" for financial breakthroughs. The Power of Instruction: Pastor Okronipa shares a testimony of a man who was instructed by a spirit to give 25% of his meager weekly income (5 out of 20 cedis). Despite initial frustration, consistent obedience to this "prophetic activator" eventually led to a massive increase in his finances. III. The Components of "True Wealth" (Haleel) True wealth is more than just "riches" (liquid cash); it is the Hebrew concept of "Kayil," which implies force, strength, and resources. Faith in God: A covenant relationship with God through Jesus is the most vital denominator. Strategic Relationships: Human capital is wealth. Having a "bucket" of connections—lawyers, doctors, accountants, and spiritual fathers—provides leverage. Material Possessions: Desiring material growth (homes, land, technology) is a valid aspect of a wealthy life. Experiences: Practical "wealth of experience" can open doors that formal education cannot. Knowledge and Skills: Rich people trade knowledge for money. Learning a skill (plumbing, IT, content creation, even the "skill of prayer") creates opportunities where certificates might fail. IV. Practical Takeaways Self-Presentation: How you carry yourself matters. Confidence and composure attract resources. Thriving vs. Surviving: "Survival" is the mentality of the poor; "Thriving" is the mentality of the wealthy. The Power of Negotiation: Mastery of negotiation ensures you are never paid less than you deserve. Creating an Atmosphere: Generosity and intentionality create an atmosphere that attracts supply. Conclusion: The journey to wealth begins with a change of mind. God is releasing a "spiritual token" or "access" to open doors for those who are ready to move from glory to glory.

Sermon Notes: The Dominion Mandate Of The Woman Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28, Genesis 2:18, Proverbs 31. I. The Co-Equal Mandate Genesis 1:27-28: God created man in His own image—male and female. He blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply... and have dominion." Dominion is Gender-Neutral: The authority to rule over the earth was not given to the man alone. Women carry the same "Dominion DNA" and creative capacity as men. Identity in Christ: A woman's value is first found in her creation in the image of God, not her marital status or societal role. II. Redefining the "Helper" (Ezer) The Hebrew Meaning of "Help Meet": The word Ezer used in Genesis 2:18 is the same word used to describe God as our "Helper" (Psalm 121:1-2). Not a Subordinate, but a Strength: A helper is not someone who is less capable; rather, they are someone who possesses the specific strength or resources that are currently missing. Strategic Partnership: The woman was created to bring completion and "surround" the man with wisdom, support, and spiritual insight to ensure the divine purpose is achieved. III. The Power of Influence and "Building" The Architect of the Home: "The wise woman builds her house" (Proverbs 14:1). Rev. Okronipa stresses that a woman's influence can either establish or dismantle a legacy. Spiritual Intuition: Women are often gifted with a unique spiritual sensitivity and discernment that is vital for protecting the family and the church from the enemy's tactics. Maternal Dominion: Dominion is expressed through nurturing, teaching, and shaping the next generation of leaders. IV. Overcoming Cultural and Religious Limitations Breaking the "Silence": The preacher addresses historical misinterpretations of scripture used to suppress women's voices, noting that in Christ, "there is neither male nor female" regarding spiritual inheritance (Galatians 3:28). The Deborah Anointing: Just as Deborah was a judge, prophetess, and mother in Israel, modern women are called to lead in professional, spiritual, and social spheres. Resisting Inferiority: A woman must refuse to see herself as "second-class." If God has called her to a task, He has authorized her to lead in it. V. Conclusion: Walking in Full Authority Fruitfulness: Women are called to be productive in their careers, businesses, and ministries. Multiplication: Taking what is small and making it great through the power of the Holy Spirit. Subduing: Taking authority over chaos and bringing the order of the Kingdom of God into every environment they enter. Closing Prayer/Declaration: "I declare that I am a woman of dominion. I am not an afterthought; I am a divine necessity. I walk in the authority given to me by God to build, to fruitify, and to rule. I break every limitation off my life and step into my full mandate in Jesus' name. Amen."

Sermon Notes: The Perception of Love Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa  Main Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 14:1, Galatians 5:6, Mark 11:23-25, 1 Peter 3:8-12. I. The Purpose of the Church A Place for Healing: The church is meant for "offended" and "weak" people seeking God's help. Believers must be patient with one another's frailties. The Problem of Offense: Satan uses offense as leverage to break down churches. Leaving a church due to a personal hurt is often a sign of spiritual immaturity and selfishness. Spiritual Training: Being offended serves as a test to see how far your "love life" has actually developed. II. The Supernatural Power of Love (Agape) Faith's Engine: According to Galatians 5:6, faith is "activated, energized, and expressed" through love. Without love, faith for miracles or breakthroughs will eventually shut down. Beyond Human Sentiment: While human love (Storge, Philia, Eros) is powerful, Agape is the "God-kind" of love that allows a believer to sacrifice for others and forgive even the deepest wrongs. Miracles through Love: Love has the power to cast out demons and bring healing where standard spiritual warfare might struggle. III. The Doctrine and Discipline of Forgiveness Unforgiveness as Poison: Holding onto a grudge is described as "drinking poison and expecting the other person to die". Blocked Prayers: Mark 11:25 teaches that before you pray for a mountain to move, you must first forgive anyone you have something against. No Conditional Forgiveness: Believers shouldn't wait for an apology to forgive. Forgiveness is a spiritual decision that reopens the door to God's favor. IV. Divine Protection and Long Life The "Eyes of the Lord": 1 Peter 3 promises that those who seek peace, avoid evil speech, and walk in love will enjoy divine protection and "good days". Escaping Satanic Traps: Walking in love keeps spiritual doors closed to the enemy. Bitterness often provides a foothold for demonic operations and physical sickness. V. Practical Application: How to Love Tenderheartedness: Replace hard-heartedness and stubbornness with a soft, easily entreated spirit. Courtesy and Respect: Love is evidenced in simple courtesy and how we treat those "below" us in social or spiritual status. Protecting Others: Love seeks to protect and cover the reputations of others rather than exposing their mistakes. Closing Challenge: Identify someone who has treated you unfairly and make the decision to bless them and pray for their welfare, thereby aligning your heart with the nature of God.

Sermon Notes: The Practice of Love: The Power for Victory  Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa   Main Scripture Focus: Galatians 5:6, Mark 11:23-25, 1 Peter 3:8-12, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. I. Love: The Engine of Faith The Activation of Power: Faith is not a standalone force; it is "activated, energized, and expressed" through love. The Cause of Stagnation: If your confessions of Scripture are not producing results, check your love walk. Bitterness and unforgiveness act as spiritual blockades to miracles. Maturity Over Gifting: The greatest measurement of spiritual growth is not the intensity of your tongues or the accuracy of a prophecy, but the depth of your love for others. II. The Danger of Offense and the "Gates of Hell" The Trap of Offense: Satan often uses offense as leverage to fight against the church. When you decide to leave a church or stop serving because of an offense, you are falling into a demonic snare. A "Hospital" Mindset: The church is not a place for perfect people; it is a place for the "sick, weak, and offended" looking for healing. We must accommodate each other's frailties. Selfishness in Conflict: Most offenses in the body of Christ are rooted in self-centeredness—being more concerned with one's own feelings than the unity of the body. III. Love as Divine Protection The Power of Forgiveness: Forgiveness is a spiritual decision, not an emotion. When you forgive, you close the doors that allow the enemy access to your life. The Consequences of Bitterness: Bitterness can cause physical sickness and spiritual blindness, leading a person to "not know where they are going". The "Eyes of the Lord": According to 1 Peter 3, long life, "good days," and divine protection are promised to those who keep their tongues from evil and seek peace. IV. Practical Love in Action The sermon outlines specific traits of Agape love that believers must practice: Suffering Long: Enduring difficult people with patience. Being Kind: actively seeking the welfare and happiness of others. Not Boasting or Being Proud: Operating without a sense of superiority or "puffing yourself up" over others. Keeping No Record of Wrongs: refusing to hold on to past hurts or using them against someone later. Protecting Others: Covering a brother or sister in private rather than exposing their weaknesses. V. Conclusion: The Victorious Walk Everything Else May Fail: Prophecies, tongues, and specialized knowledge are temporary and may fail or cease, but love is eternal and never fails. The Final Goal: The believer's "great quest" should be to attain a state where they speak the truth in love and grow into the full stature of Christ. Sermon Declaration: “I refuse to live a powerless or disconnected life. I choose to make love my great quest. From today, I reposition my life so that my faith is energized by love, my prayers are answered, and I walk in the total victory of God.”

Sermon Notes: The Doctrine of God's Love Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: 1 John 4:7-8, 1 Corinthians 12-14, Ephesians 4-5. I. The Essence of God is Love Divine Identity: God does not just "have" love; He is love. The New Birth Connection: Being "born of God" is inherently linked to love; knowing God is measured by your capacity to love. The Measuring Rod of Maturity: Spiritual growth isn't defined by the intensity of your faith or the frequency of your visions, but by your conduct in love. II. Love vs. Spiritual Gifts The Futility of Giftings Without Love: One can speak in tongues, prophesy, and understand mysteries, but without love, they are "nothing". Sacrifice (giving to the poor or giving one's body to be burned) profits nothing if not motivated by love. The More Excellent Way: Love is the primary "spiritual endowment" that should be eagerly pursued above all other gifts. III. Love in the Body of Christ The Five-Fold Ministry's Goal: Apostles, prophets, and teachers are given to equip the saints to "speak the truth in love," leading to a "perfect man" modeled after Christ. Collective Revelation: Jesus is best revealed to the world through the members of the church acting in love, rather than through individual spiritual manifestations. The Danger of Stagnation: People often leave churches not because they lack miracles, but because they lack the "picture of Christ" which is only visible through loving relationships. IV. The Hard Truth: Love and Sacrifice Walking in Love Means Dying: To walk in Agape love requires a "crucifixion" of the self. Forgiveness as Power: Love requires us to ignore offenses and love those who have treated us poorly—even when it is "righteous" to be angry. The Warning: Unforgiveness and bitterness act as "spiritual blockades" that hinder your prayer life and fellowship with God. V. Types of Love (Human vs. God-Kind) Human-Kind Love: Includes Storge (family/blood), Philia (friendship), and Eros (romantic). These are powerful but limited by human nature. God-Kind Love (Agape): A "liquid love" poured into the heart by the Holy Spirit. It is the only love capable of truly honoring God and producing eternal profit. Closing Declaration: “I choose to pursue love as my great quest. I will be an imitator of God by walking in love, allowing the Holy Spirit to stir my heart toward those who have hurt me, so that I may grow into the full measure of Christ.”

Sermon Notes: Katartizo – Creating Your Miracle with Your Words Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: Hebrews 11:3 – "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." I. Understanding "Katartizo" Definition: The Greek word Katartizo means to put in order, to restore, or to complete. The Blueprint of Creation: God did not use pre-existing material to create the world; He used His words. Words are the "building blocks" of the spirit realm. The Power to Repair: Just as a fisherman mends his nets (Katartizo), you can use your words to mend broken areas of your life—finances, health, or relationships. II. The Law of Confession Faith Must Speak: Faith is not passive. 2 Corinthians 4:13 says, "I believed and therefore I spoke." If you believe it but won't say it, you aren't fully exercising faith. The "Say-Check": Your words should not describe your problem; they should declare your solution. Don't say "I am sick"; say "By His stripes, I am healed." Alignment: Your mouth must be in agreement with God's Word. When your confession aligns with Scripture, you give the Holy Spirit the "material" to work with in your life. III. Framing Your World You are the Architect: Your words are like the frame of a house. They set the boundaries and the structure of what you can experience. The Echo Effect: The circumstances you see today are often the "echoes" of words you spoke yesterday. To change the echo, you must change the original sound (your speech). Dominion through Speech: God gave man dominion. In the Kingdom of God, dominion is exercised through decrees. A king does not struggle; he speaks, and it is done. IV. Practical Steps to "Katartizo" Your Life Identify the Breach: Locate the area of your life that is out of order or "unframed." Find the Word: Search the Scriptures for a promise that addresses that specific need. Release the Sound: Consistently speak that Word over your situation. Do not be moved by what you see; stay focused on what you are saying. Refuse Contrary Talk: Stop "self-sabotaging" by speaking doubt, fear, or gossip, which tears down the frame you are trying to build. Key Quote: "Your world is a product of your words. If you don't like what you see, change what you are saying." Closing Prayer/Declaration: "I declare that my world is framed by the Word of God. I am mending every broken area of my life with my confession. My future is bright, my health is restored, and my paths are made straight by the power of my words. Amen."

Sermon Title:  THE PRACTICE OF LOVE Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 14:1, 1 Corinthians 13:1-8, John 14:21-23, Galatians 5:6. I. The Priority of Soul Winning The Mark of Wisdom: "He that wins souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:30). Eternal Impact: earthly fame and wealth are temporary, but the impact made in heaven through soul winning lasts forever. A Call to Action: Believers should pray to become "ardent soul winners," asking God to use their lives to bring others to righteousness. II. Love: The Most Excellent Way Beyond Gifts: One can speak in tongues, prophesy, or work miracles, but without love, they are merely a "clanging cymbal". The Measurement of Maturity: Spiritual growth is not measured by the depth of one's tongues or the number of visions they see, but by the dimension of their love. The Nature of Agape: This is a supernatural love that allows a person to sacrifice for others—even strangers—without expecting anything in return. III. The Manifestation of God through Love The Conditional Presence: Jesus promises to manifest Himself to those who love Him and keep His commandments. Check the "Love Meter": If you are not experiencing the presence of God, examine the genuineness of your love for Him and others. The Danger of Hypocrisy: Many in the church "smile but don't love." True love requires being real and honest, rather than pretending. IV. The Practical Dangers of Not Walking in Love Hindered Faith: According to Galatians 5:6, "faith worketh by love." Without love, faith for healing or miracles cannot produce results. Physical Sickness: Unforgiveness and hatred (e.g., toward family members) can manifest as physical ailments like high blood pressure or heart conditions. Loss of Members: People often leave churches not because of a lack of miracles, but because they do not feel the love and compassion of the community. V. Practicing Love Daily Love is an intentional action, not just an emotion. It involves: Suffering Long: Enduring annoying people with patience. Being Kind: Looking for ways to help others even when it is inconvenient. Not Being Easily Provoked: Refusing to take offense or seek revenge. Thinking No Evil: Choosing to see the best in people rather than being constantly suspicious. Closing Challenge: Identify one "difficult person" in your life this week and intentionally show them the Agape love of God.

  CREATING YOUR MIRACLE WITH WORDS Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Theme:  CREATING YOUR MIRACLE WITH WORDS Core Message: The Christian life is inherently supernatural, and believers have the divine ability to "frame" or manufacture their reality through bold spiritual declarations. Scripture References Mark 16:17-18: These signs follow those who believe, including casting out devils, speaking in new tongues, and being unharmed by deadly things. Acts 1:8: "You shall receive power" (Greek: Dunamis), interpreted here as access to miracle-working ability. Hebrews 11:2: Through faith, the elders obtained a "good report" or divine testimony that did not exist before. Hebrews 11:3: "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God". Key Points & Sub-points 1. The Nature of Miracles External Intervention: A miracle is something that defies natural logic and requires external divine intervention to manifest. Replicability: Miracles are not random occurrences (intoms); they are replicable if one understands the spiritual laws and technology that govern them. Miracles as Atmosphere: Creating an atmosphere for the miraculous involves applying specific scriptural principles. 2. "Katartizo": The Technology of Framing Framing the World: The Greek word Katartizo means to mold, shape, fabricate, or manufacture using specific materials. Words as Building Materials: Just as God framed the universe with His word, believers use their words to frame their own systems and patterns (aeons) within the earth. Stability in the Word: Unlike opinions or feelings, the Word of God is immutable and provides the necessary stability for spiritual construction. 3. The Miracle in Your Mouth Bold Declaration: The sermon emphasizes that a believer's miracle is tied to their speech. Speaking feelings or negative circumstances (e.g., "I don't have money") only frames more of that negative reality. Case Study (Philippa): A student was encouraged to speak boldly against a situation where her father's imported cars were being seized at the port. By refusing to sympathize with the problem and instead declaring a positive outcome, the situation was miraculously reversed by a higher authority. Changing the Atmosphere: Continual positive declaration acts like water vapor forming clouds; eventually, the "spiritual cloud" becomes heavy enough to pour out as a physical manifestation. Call to Action / Application Stop Speaking Feelings: Do not speak what you see or feel; speak what you believe according to God's Word. Boldness in Prayer: Approach God with boldness rather than timidity, as boldness activates spiritual power. Personal Confession: Actively declare strength, health, and abundance over your life to shift your spiritual atmosphere from one of bad luck (mattah) to one of divine favor.

Sermon Notes: THE PRIORITY OF LOVE: YOUR GREATEST PURSUIT Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, 1 Corinthians 14:1, Matthew 22:37-39, 1 John 4:7-8 I. The Core Mandate: Love as the Primary Pursuit The Greatest Quest: Love is not merely a spiritual option; it is the ultimate pursuit of the Christian life. The Supremacy of Love: While spiritual gifts like prophecy, tongues, and miracles are desirable, they are "nothing" and "meaningless" without the foundation of love. The Definition of Maturity: Spiritual growth is not measured by the intensity of one's spiritual gifts, but by one's capacity to love and forgive others. A Law of Necessity: Following Christ requires prioritizing love as a command, not a suggestion—loving God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. II. The Purpose of Spiritual Power For the Body, Not the Individual: Spiritual gifts and anointing are given to serve and protect the "weaker" members of the church body, just as the most vulnerable parts of the human body are the most covered and cared for. Against Elitism: True spiritual power rejects social elitism; it does not favor the wealthy or educated over those who appear less prominent. Kingdom Value: Anointing is intended to bring deliverance and change to others, not to build a personal reputation as a "major prophet" or servant of God. III. The Dangers of Walking Without Love Pastor Okronipa identifies six grave dangers for those who neglect the walk of love: Faith Failure: Faith is "powered by love" (Galatians 5:6); if love is absent, your faith will stop working regardless of how many scriptures you confess. Hindered Prayers: Harboring offense or bitterness against anyone—including family or leadership—acts as a barrier that prevents God from answering your petitions. Disconnected Fellowship: Because "God is love," failing to love others means you are stepping out of alignment and fellowship with God's nature. Open Doors to the Enemy: Bitterness and unreleased anger provide a "foothold" for demonic oppression and spiritual instability. Zero Kingdom Profit: Even the most extreme sacrifices (like giving all your goods to the poor or giving your body to be burned) have "zero reward" if they are not rooted in love. Spiritual Blindness: Claiming to be in the "light" while hating a brother means you are actually walking in darkness and deception. IV. Practical Application Examine the "Heart-o-meter": Regularly check for hidden bitterness, jealousy, or envy that might be hindering your spiritual progress. Celebrate Others: Mature love celebrates the success, gifts, and strengths of others without the need for competition. Repent of Lovelessness: We must surrender ambitions and spiritual activities that are not rooted in the nature of Christ, which is love. Closing Thought: "To grow spiritually is to grow in God, and to grow in God is to grow in love, because God is love."

Sermon Title: Making the Love of Christ Your Great Quest Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 13 & 14, 2 Thessalonians 3:5, Ephesians 5:1-2 I. The Mandate: Love as the Primary Pursuit In the Christian walk, there is a distinct hierarchy of spiritual priorities. While the church often emphasizes power and gifts, Scripture redirects our focus toward love as the "more excellent way." The Command to Pursue: 1 Corinthians 14:1 instructs us to "Pursue love." The Greek word used here is dioko, which means to eagerly chase or hunt, much like a predator pursues its prey. The Difference Between Desire and Quest: You are told to desire spiritual gifts but to make love your quest. You can desire something without chasing it, but a quest requires an intentional, life-altering pursuit. The Goal: Love must be your "bullseye"—the very center of your spiritual aim. II. The Futility of Gifts Without Love 1 Corinthians 13 highlights that the highest levels of spiritual operation are rendered useless if they are not fueled by love. 1. Spiritual Utterances If you speak in the tongues of men or even angels but lack love, you are merely a "sounding brass" or a "clanging cymbal." Without love, powerful prayer and tongues become an "empty sound" that is frustrating and irritating rather than transformative. 2. Revelation and Knowledge One can understand all mysteries and possess all knowledge, yet if love is absent, the person is "nothing." 3. Miracle-Working Faith Even faith that is powerful enough to remove mountains is profitless without the component of love. 4. Extreme Sacrifice Giving all your goods to the poor or even giving your body to be burned (martyrdom) profits you nothing if the motivation is not love. Correction on Human Love: Often, we mistake "kindness" or "human affinity" for God's love. True Agape goes beyond loving those in our circle; it is a supernatural disposition. III. The Superiority of Love The Bible establishes that love is the greatest of the abiding virtues. The Abiding Three: Faith, hope, and love remain, but love is the greatest. The More Excellent Way: 1 Corinthians 12:31 transitions into the love chapter by promising to show us a way that is superior to all spiritual offices and gifts. IV. Defining the Quest: Walking in the Love of God To pursue love is to pursue the very nature of God. Directed Hearts: 2 Thessalonians 3:5 is a prayer that the Lord "direct your hearts into the love of God." This implies that our hearts need divine navigation to stay aligned with His love. Imitating the Father: Ephesians 5:1-2 calls us to be "imitators of God" as dear children. The Standard of Christ: We are commanded to "walk in love, as Christ also has loved us." This is a sacrificial love—one that gives itself up as an offering. V. Practical Application: An Excellent Church An "excellent" church is not defined by its social gatherings or the fame of its leaders, but by its operation in love and the Spirit. Love Removes Barriers: When a church walks in the love of God, tribalism, social status, and personal offenses disappear. Gifts Flourishing in Love: Spiritual gifts (prophecy, healing, miracles) should be evident in the church, but they must be exercised through the "more excellent way" of love to be effective. A Burden for the People: The greatest drain on a leader is not the exercise of power, but the emotional labor of counseling those who are not walking in love and are thus easily frustrated or offended. Conclusion and Call to Action Make the love of God your Great Quest. Do not be satisfied with merely being "spiritual" or "gifted." Ask the Holy Spirit to direct your heart into a love that is sacrificial, consistent, and modeled after Jesus Christ. Prayer Point: "Lord, direct my heart into Your love. Let my life be an imitation of Christ's love in every word and action."

Sermon Notes: "Jesus, The Turning Point" Preacher: Rev. DR. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Reference: Mark 5:25–34 (The Woman with the Issue of Blood) I. The Universal Need for a Turning Point Life is filled with many challenges, calamities, and sorrows that can cause people to feel backward, negative, or overwhelmed. Definition: A turning point is a divine encounter or a specific point in time that shifts a person from backwards to forwards, negativity to positivity, and sorrow to rejoicing. The Reality of Struggle: Everyone, regardless of their background, faces something that weighs them down—be it in education, marriage, health, or personal shame. The Human Response: In the midst of problems, people often look for help in the wrong places, such as: Juju/Occultism: Seeking supernatural help from sources other than God. Human Influence: Relying on wealthy or influential people who ultimately have limitations. Destructive Habits: Turning to drugs, alcohol, or other vices to numb the pain. Key Thought: Human beings are limited and will eventually fail you, even those with the best intentions. II. The Origin of Life's Problems If God created a perfect world, why is there so much suffering? The Perfect Beginning: God created everything perfect in the Garden of Eden, with man made in His own image. The Fall of Man: Through the deception of the serpent and the disobedience of Adam and Eve, sin entered the world. The Consequence: Every challenge—sickness, broken hearts, mental breakdowns, and poverty—is a manifestation of the "death" that resulted from sin. III. Jesus: The Ultimate Turning Point Jesus Christ is the only one who can truly change a person's situation because He is the Way, the Truth, the Life, and the Light. Case Study: The Woman with the Issue of Blood The Condition: She suffered for 12 years with a constant flow of blood. The Frustration: She spent all her money on various doctors but only grew worse. The Isolation: Under Levitical law, she was considered "unclean," leading to spiritual, emotional, and social isolation. The Encounter: She heard about Jesus—the one who healed the blind, the deaf, and even raised the dead. The Act of Faith: She told herself, "If I may but touch the hem of His garment, I shall be made whole". The Result: The moment she touched Him, 12 years of suffering ended instantly.  IV. How to Connect with Your Turning Point Pastor Okronipa outlines the A-B-C-D steps to receiving a miracle and salvation through Jesus: A - Accept: Acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of help. B - Believe: Have faith that Jesus came to die for your sins and was resurrected for your justification. C - Confess: Declare with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. D - Dedicate: Commit your life to serving Him forever; this includes joining a community of believers (the Church). Conclusion Jesus wants your joy to be full. He is able to move you from obscurity to prominence and from being a "nobody" to a "somebody". No matter the generational curse or the length of the struggle, an encounter with Jesus is the turning point you need.

Sermon Notes: The Firstfruit Resurrection Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 I. Introduction: The Uniqueness of Christ's Resurrection The Definitive Event: The resurrection is the single event that sets Jesus Christ above every historical or religious figure. Fulfilled Prophecy: Unlike other leaders who died and remained in the grave, Jesus predicted His death and His return to life, bringing salvation to humanity. The Consummation of Promises: Jesus is the fulfillment of every promise God ever made to man; He is the "one single heart desire" and vision of God. II. The Scriptural Basis (1 Corinthians 15:20-23) The Firstfruit: Christ has risen from the dead and become the "firstfruits" of those who have fallen asleep (died in faith). The Two Adams: * Through one man (Adam), death entered the world. Through another man (Christ), the resurrection from the dead came to all. Life in Him: "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive." III. Finding Your Identity in the Word Moving Beyond Application: Many Christians have weak faith because they try to apply the Word to their lives rather than seeing themselves in the Word. Living Expressions: We are called to be "living expressions" of the Word of God—Word in motion and power in action. Subjective Understanding: We must lose our "objectivity" toward life and subject our understanding entirely to what God has said. Breaking Lineages: When you find yourself in the Scriptures, you are no longer a victim of generational curses or bloodline patterns; your bloodline is now defined by Christ. IV. The Threefold Revelation of Jesus To have strong faith, one must understand Jesus in three specific roles: The King: The sovereign ruler. The Savior (Messiah): The one who delivers. The Lamb of God: The sacrifice who takes away the sins of the entire world (including the media and unbelievers), not just Christians. V. The Reality of the Resurrection The Scrutiny: As a "Lamb without blemish," Jesus' life was questioned and scrutinized by man, yet He died sinless for the sake of sinners. The Victory in Hell: After His physical death, Jesus' soul entered Hell to defeat Satan and take the keys of death and Hades (Revelation 1:18). The Power of an Endless Life: * Other resurrections (like Lazarus) were returns to a mortal life that would eventually end again. Christ's resurrection introduced a "new kind of life"—Zoe, which is eternal, incorruptible, and undying. VI. Practical Application: Living the Resurrection Life No Fear of Death: Because Jesus holds the keys, a Christian should not fear death. It is not an end, but a transition to being present with the Lord. Authority Over Sickness and Poverty: Resurrection life (immortality) is at work in our spirits now. We can use this "on-diability" to combat cancer, diabetes, and lack, as these are expressions of mortality and decay. The Witness of the Spirit: Even though we did not see the empty tomb physically, the Holy Spirit reveals the truth of the resurrection to our hearts, creating a transformation more powerful than physical sight. Core Message: "Everything that is supposed to be the foundation of our faith and the foundation of our hope is already outlined in the Bible... our story has already been written."

TOPIC: BEHOLD YOUR JESUS – OUR SAVIOUR AND REDEEMER Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Matthew 21:9 (Hosanna – Save us now) John 1:29 (The Lamb of God) Isaiah 53:5 John 19:30 Luke 22:19 Matthew 26:14–16 KEY POINTS 1. Jesus the Messiah – The Saviour Has Come The celebration of Jesus was a sign that He is the Messiah. “Hosanna” means Save us now. Jesus came to give: Peace Salvation Restoration Jesus came for: Deliverance from sin Eternal restoration Transformation of the soul Jesus is the Saviour of our souls. 2. The Finished Work of Salvation Jesus paid the full price for our redemption. We do not need to pay again.

TOPIC: POWER FOR DESTINY FULFILLMENT Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa INTRODUCTION There is a difference between activity and accuracy. Life is not about just doing something. It is about knowing what to do and having the power to execute it. Destiny is not guaranteed when power is not at play. WHAT IS POWER? Power is best explained through experience. Until power is in expression, destiny cannot be guaranteed.

Preparation Is the Mother of Success Nothing happens by accident in the Kingdom of God. Preparation positions a person for favor. 2. Understanding Favor Favor beautifies life and gives it meaning.

God Empowers His People for Wealth

TOPIC: Ending Financial Hardship PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Psalm 119:98, 104 Philippians 4:19 Genesis 22 Genesis 3:19 Isaiah 5:13 Proverbs 10:4 KEY POINTS 1. Understanding Is Needed to Move Through Life Successfully

FAITH FOR MATERIAL & FINANCIAL PROVISION (PART 2) Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa INTRODUCTION Faith is required not only for salvation or spiritual growth — faith is needed for material supply, daily survival, and financial victories. God operates strictly by faith, and everything done outside of faith is unacceptable to Him. Even when a person has money physically, a believer must still engage faith — because faith is the master key to supernatural provision. KEY TRUTHS FROM PART 1 (FOUNDATION RECAP)

FAITH FOR MATERIAL AND FINANCIAL PROVISION Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa INTRODUCTION Faith is needed for our daily living. Faith is the master key to a triumphant life. Faith is the atmosphere of God — the realm in which He operates. God does not honor anything except by faith. Anything done outside of faith is unacceptable to God. God desires to supply all your needs. Even if you have money physically, spiritual transactions still require faith (e.g., buying a car by faith). UNDERSTANDING THE LIFE OF FAITH 1. We Are the Seed of Abraham By redemption, we are connected to Abraham's covenant blessings.

TOPIC: Understanding Christian Fruitfulness — Part 4 PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES: Colossians 3:2 Daniel 12:3 Romans 12:9 Romans 6:17 Romans 12:10–11 Job 1 Luke 4:13 John 14:30 Proverbs 4:18 Exodus 16:18 Lamentations 3:22–23 2 Corinthians 4:16 Ephesians 5:18 Matthew 12:43–45 Joshua 1:8 Proverbs 13:20 KEY POINTS (PART 4) 1. A Christianity Without Fire Goes Downhill A believer without spiritual fire will decline in effectiveness. Fruitfulness cannot be sustained without spiritual fervency. 2. Fruitfulness in Time Determines Celebration in Eternity “To enjoy and to be celebrated in eternity, you need to be fruitful in time.” What you do now determines what you will enjoy later. Your earthly fruitfulness affects your eternal relevance. 3. Set Your Mind on the Right Things

TOPIC: Honor — A Master Key to the Life of Blessedness PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa THEME SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:1–2 "Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise." KEY POINTS 1. Honor Is a Master Key to Blessedness Honor is a divine key that unlocks a life of blessedness. It positions a person to experience God's favour, ease, and supernatural help. 2. General Blessings and Uncommon Blessings Some blessings are general and available to all. But uncommon and extraordinary blessings flow through honor. Honor determines how much blessing a person can access. 3. Honor Can Change Situations in Your Life Honor has the power to shift situations. It can turn difficulties around and open doors that were previously closed. Honor changes levels. 4. Who Are You Honoring? Who Are You Following? The direction of your life is connected to the people you honor. The grace on those you follow flows into your life. Honor determines impartation and influence. 5. There Is Grace That Comes From Honoring Honor releases grace — grace flows from those you choose to honor. Dishonor blocks blessings; honor attracts them. You rise by the grace you honor. 6. Honoring Makes Things Easier Honor brings ease, wellness, and longevity. This is why Ephesians 6:1–2 says honor carries the promise “that it may be well with you.” Honor reduces struggle and brings divine speed. CONCLUSION Honor is a spiritual law that shapes the destiny of every believer. It unlocks blessings, releases grace, and makes life easier. Your results are connected to who you honor and who you follow. Honor is truly a master key to a life of blessedness.

TOPIC: Activating Your Set Time PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES: Psalm 102:13 KEY POINTS 1. Activating Your Set Time Psalm 102:13 teaches that God has a set time to favour His people. You must learn to pray: “God, look at me and favour me.” 2. Every Human Has Two Times a. Natural Chronological Time This is the normal time we live by: Hours Days Weeks Months The 24-hour cycle The 365 days of the year This is ordinary, natural time. b. Set Times (Kairos Moments) Kairos is the God-appointed time for manifestation. When you miss your Kairos, you fail to achieve or actualize destiny. There is a Kairos moment in everybody's life and ministry. 3. Entering Your Place of Achievement You need a push to enter your Kairos moment. That supernatural push is what moves you into the place of achievement. Without stepping into Kairos, destiny remains unfulfilled. CONCLUSION Every believer has a natural time and a divinely appointed set time. To enter your set time, you must cry out for God's favour and allow Him to push you into your Kairos moment—the moment where achievement and destiny become reality.

TOPIC: Understanding Christian Fruitfulness — Part 2 PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES: John 15:8 John 15:11 Matthew 5:16 Galatians 5:22–23 Philippians 1:11 Hebrews 12:11 Matthew 3:8 Acts 26:20 Hebrews 13:15 Colossians 1:10 Titus 3:8 Romans 1:13 Proverbs 11:30 Philippians 4:17 2 Corinthians 9:10 KEY POINTS (PART 2) 1. Understanding Fruit-Bearing (Recap) a. What Is “Fruit” in Scripture? Greek: Karpos (καρπός) — meaning: Result Outcome Visible evidence Advantage or profit “That which originates from something” Biblically, fruit represents the visible expression of an invisible life—the outward manifestation of the inward work of the Holy Spirit. 2. Results of Bearing Fruit Fruitfulness produces undeniable outcomes in the believer's life: a. Fruit Glorifies God — John 15:8 Your fruit is evidence that God is working through you. b. Fruit Proves Discipleship — John 15:8 A true disciple is known by the results their life produces. c. Fruit Brings Personal Joy — John 15:11 Spiritual productivity leads to deep joy and fulfillment. d. Fruit Influences the World — Matthew 5:16 Your good works shine light and draw people to Christ. 3. Types of Fruits Every Christian Must Bear 1. The Fruit of the Spirit — Galatians 5:22–23 This fruit reflects the character of Christ in the believer. The nine traits include: Love Joy Peace Longsuffering Kindness Goodness Faithfulness Gentleness Self-control These are not nine different fruits, but one fruit with nine expressions. 2. The Fruit of Righteousness — Philippians 1:11; Hebrews 12:11 Produced through obedience to God and sensitivity to the Spirit. Righteousness leads to right living and right actions. 3. The Fruit of Repentance — Matthew 3:8; Acts 26:20 True repentance produces visible change. Turning away from sin is evidence of genuine salvation. 4. The Fruit of the Lips — Hebrews 13:15 The fruit of praise and thanksgiving. A believer who abides in Christ expresses gratitude continually. 5. The Fruit of Good Works — Colossians 1:10; Titus 3:8; Matthew 5:16 Good works reveal inward faith through outward actions. This fruit blesses other people and glorifies God. 6. The Fruit of Soul-Winning — Romans 1:13; Proverbs 11:30 Paul called his converts “fruit.” Every believer is expected to reproduce spiritually by winning souls. 7. The Fruit of Generosity — Philippians 4:17; 2 Corinthians 9:10 Giving is spiritual fruit credited to the believer's account. Generosity reflects a heart of love, stewardship, and sacrifice. CONCLUSION (PART 2) Part 2 expands on what fruitfulness looks like in the Christian life. Fruit-bearing is not limited to character alone — it includes righteousness, repentance, worship, good works, soul-winning, and generosity. A fruitful Christian is one whose life produces consistent, visible, and spiritual results that glorify God and edify others.  

  TOPIC: Understanding Christian Fruitfulness — Part 1 PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES: John 15:1–8 Jeremiah 3:15 Matthew 25:14–30 KEY POINTS (PART 1) 1. Introduction to Christian Fruitfulness Fruitfulness is God's expectation for every believer. God does not save us to remain barren or unproductive. Jesus introduces the foundation of fruitfulness in John 15:1, describing: Himself as the True Vine The Father as the Vine Dresser Believers as the branches The health and productivity of the branch depends entirely on its connection. 2. The Parable of the Talents — A Picture of Fruitfulness

TOPIC Four Forces That Oppose the Dominion Mandate PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Genesis 2:17 Genesis 3:1–6 Revelation 12:9 Ephesians 6:12–14 Hosea 4:6 John 1:14–18 2 Corinthians 4:6 1 Corinthians 15:31 KEY POINTS Introduction From the beginning, God gave man dominion—the authority to rule and represent Him on earth. However, this dominion faces strong opposition from spiritual, mental, and fleshly forces that seek to weaken man's authority. To maintain dominion, the believer must identify and overcome these opposing forces through truth, knowledge, and the Spirit. 1. Satan and the Forces of Darkness

TOPIC The Wonderful Name of Jesus PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Philippians 2:10 Isaiah 9:6b John 14:13–14 Acts 3:6–16 Mark 16:17–18 KEY POINTS 1. The Power in the Name of Jesus The name of Jesus carries supreme authority and power in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. Philippians 2:10 — “At the name of Jesus every knee should bow.” Every demon, sickness, and power submits to the authority of that Name. The name of Jesus is not an ordinary title—it is a spiritual weapon and the identity of divine authority. The believer's victory is hidden in the revelation and use of that Name. 2. The Revelation of the Name It is not enough to merely mention the name of Jesus; one must have revelation of what the Name represents. Many speak the name without results because they lack the understanding of its power and meaning. The revelation of the Name gives the believer confidence and dominion in spiritual warfare. To know the Name is to understand who Jesus is—the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6b). When you act from revelation, the Name works with precision and power. 3. Using the Name with Revelation The name of Jesus can produce miracles when used in alignment with faith and revelation. Every believer has been authorized to use the Name in prayer, healing, and deliverance. John 14:13–14 — Jesus said, “Whatever you ask in My Name, that will I do.” The disciples demonstrated this truth when Peter declared, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” (Acts 3:6) Using the Name without revelation produces words; using it with revelation produces power. 4. The Effects of the Name The Name of Jesus: Heals the sick Drives out demons Restores peace and order Brings salvation and victory The name works for those who believe and understand their authority in Christ. Mark 16:17–18 — “In My name they shall cast out devils… they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” 5. Walking in the Revelation of His Name The believer must learn to live consciously aware of the authority of the Name. When faced with opposition, declare the Name in faith, not fear. Maintain an active revelation of who Jesus is—your life, power, and victory depend on it. The revelation of the Name will make you bold, fearless, and unstoppable. CONCLUSION The name of Jesus is the believer's greatest weapon and highest authority. It is not the repetition of the Name that brings power, but the revelation behind it. When you understand who Jesus is and what His Name represents, you can speak it with faith and see miracles, deliverance, and transformation. Every knee still bows, and every power still yields to the Wonderful Name of Jesus. Walk in that revelation and let His Name work wonders in your life. ✨

TOPIC Becoming a Strong Christian Through Meditation PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Ephesians 6:10 Joshua 1:8 Psalm 1:1–3 Psalm 119:97–100 Psalm 119:130 1 Chronicles 15:13 Romans 12:2 KEY POINTS 1. The Call to Spiritual Strength “Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.” (Ephesians 6:10) Strength in the Lord is not physical—it comes from revelation, knowledge, and conviction. Truth means reality—factual, spiritual realities that produce tangible and consistent results. You must come to a point where no knowledge can change your mind about God. Prayer must be rooted in revelation; pray from the Word, not from fear or emotion. 2. Meditation — The Key to Spiritual Growth Meditation opens the spirit man to greater depths and heights in the Spirit. It promotes breakthrough power and spiritual understanding. Joshua 1:8 — success and prosperity come from continual meditation on God's Word. Psalm 119:97–100 — wisdom and understanding are products of meditation. What you think about shapes who you are becoming; your thoughts define your reality. If you want to be successful, ask: “Which Word of God am I living by?” 3. The Way of Serving God There is a way to serve God and a pattern to find results. 1 Chronicles 15:13 — divine results come when things are done according to divine order. Meditation brings life and light out of the Scriptures. If the Word of God doesn't give you stability, challenges will bring you down. Meditation lays God's Word in your heart like blocks, building a foundation that cannot be shaken. 4. Understanding Meditation Meditation is pondering on God's Word until answers come. Learn to picture the Scriptures as you read them; let them form images in your heart. Psalm 1:1–3 — the one who meditates day and night becomes like a tree planted by rivers of water. Until you change the way you think, even prosperity will reject you—your mindset determines your manifestation. 5. Benefits of Meditation It brings light (understanding). Psalm 119:130 — “The entrance of thy words giveth light.” Light produces clarity, wisdom, and insight. When you learn, you begin to earn the results you seek. It transforms your life and habits. Romans 12:2 — transformation begins with the renewal of the mind. Meditation changes thought patterns, attitudes, and behavior. It establishes faith and produces results. Meditation gets the Word deep into your spirit. Out of the spirit comes light and understanding, which produces faith. When faith is expressed, it brings miracles and results. 6. A Call to Spiritual Maturity When you are hungry, don't only look for fish—learn how to fish. Don't chase temporary miracles; pursue understanding that produces lasting results. A strong Christian is one whose life is built on the Word, revelation, and meditation. CONCLUSION Becoming a strong Christian requires more than prayer—it requires depth in the Word through meditation. Meditation makes the Word alive, stable, and effective in your spirit. It brings light, produces faith, and transforms your life from within. Learn to think, speak, and act from the revelation of God's Word. For when your spirit is full of light, no darkness can overpower you. Meditate your way into strength, success, and victory in Christ.

TOPIC FAITH FOR DOMINION| PEC 2025 GRAND FINALE PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Genesis 1:26 Romans 5:17 Joel 2:28–32 Psalm 8:4–6 Ephesians 2:6 Luke 10:19 KEY POINTS 1. Dominion Is the Core of the Believer's Identity Every believer was created with a mandate to rule, reign, and represent God on earth. Dominion is not optional—it is the believer's original design and responsibility. “Your significance and value in life are tied to your dominion mandate.” Until a believer understands and walks in dominion, their full potential remains hidden. Dominion is about managing and influencing the world according to divine order. 2. The True Meaning of Dominion Dominion is not ownership—all things belong to God. Dominion is not control over people, but governance through love and stewardship. True dominion expresses itself through: Influence — shaping environments for God's glory. Stewardship — managing divine resources faithfully. Capacity — developing strength to handle divine responsibility. Dominion is not about pride or power—it is about reflecting God's character and authority in humility. 3. The Faith and Spirit of Dominion Dominion operates by faith—believing and acting on God's Word with confidence. Faith gives believers the boldness to take charge and enforce divine promises. The Spirit of dominion empowers believers with wisdom, creativity, and authority. Poverty, fear, and limitation have no place in the dominion life. A believer walking in faith for dominion becomes a channel of divine influence and transformation. 4. Dominion Is About Effective Management Dominion is responsibility—faithfully handling what God has entrusted to you. Managing your time, gifts, finances, and opportunities determines your level of dominion. Poor management leads to loss of authority; wise management multiplies influence. Dominion is maintained through obedience, discipline, and excellence. 5. Dominion Is a Lifestyle of Faith Dominion must reflect in every sphere of life—family, business, ministry, and society. Faith for dominion is expressed through everyday obedience and persistence. God calls His people to live as ambassadors of His Kingdom in the earth. Dominion is not a moment—it's a mindset, a culture, and a continuous walk of faith. CONCLUSION The Grand Finale of PEC 2025 was a prophetic celebration of faith and dominion in full display. Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa reminded believers that true dominion flows from faith in God's Word, the Spirit's power, and wise stewardship. Believers were charged to live beyond fear and limitation, walking boldly in their identity as kings and priests. Many left the convocation not just inspired but empowered to live by faith for dominion—ruling and reigning with Christ in every aspect of life. Faith is the key to dominion. Walk in it, live by it, and let the world see the Kingdom through you.   

TOPIC The Revelation of “I AM” PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Exodus 3:13–14 Philippians 4:19 Psalm 23:1 Numbers 23:19 Acts 1:8 Malachi 3:6 John 8:58 KEY POINTS 1. The Meaning of “I AM” “I AM” reveals God's eternal, self-existent nature — He has no beginning and no end. God is unchanging, constant in His nature, and dependable in all situations. The name “I AM” expresses God's limitless sufficiency — He is everything His people will ever need. When God said, “I AM THAT I AM,” He declared Himself as the ever-present One who is always enough. 2. The Revelation of “I AM” The revelation of “I AM” is a revelation of identity and relationship. It reminds believers that God is not distant or abstract — He is personally involved in the lives of His children. “I AM” means: Whatever you need, I will be that to you. This revelation calls believers to walk in faith, confidence, and intimacy with God. 3. What “I AM” Represents God's Divine Provision “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1) God provides for every need — physical, spiritual, emotional, and material. Philippians 4:19: “My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” God's Divine Power God is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19). His power enables believers to live victoriously and witness boldly (Acts 1:8). The name “I AM” carries authority and power over every circumstance. God's Divine Purpose Everything God does flows from His divine purpose. His identity as “I AM” aligns His people with destiny and direction. Understanding “I AM” helps believers to trust God's process and timing. 4. The Impact of the Revelation The revelation of “I AM” stirs true worship and strengthens the believer's faith. It brings peace and confidence, knowing that God is sufficient in every situation. It deepens intimacy with God, reminding us that He is present, powerful, and personal. There is no reason for fear or discouragement when “I AM” is with you. CONCLUSION The revelation of “I AM” is a call to know God beyond religion — to know Him as the All-Sufficient One. He is your provider, your power, and your purpose. Whatever life demands, God declares: “I AM that I AM.” Therefore, live in confidence, rest in His sufficiency, and walk in unshakable faith — for the Great I AM is always enough!   

TOPIC How to Provoke Miracles 2 [Things That Deny People of Their Miracles] PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Mark 6 Mark 5:1–43 Proverbs 4:5 Romans 10:17 Luke 1:45 2 Corinthians 4:13 John 16:24 John 3:1–2 Luke 8:39 Acts 10:38 2 Chronicles 20:20 KEY POINTS 1. Understanding Miracles Miracles are real and represent the manifestation of God's power at work in human affairs. They are the outcome of the working of God's Word, suspending or overriding natural and man-made laws. Miracles demonstrate that God's power is superior to every limitation of nature or circumstance. 2. The Power of Teaching Teaching brings insight, understanding, instruction, and direction — all of which create an atmosphere for miracles. When faith is built through the Word, the supernatural becomes natural. 3. Why Miracles Are Needed To restore creation to its original order. To destroy the works of the devil and set people free. To bring joy and hope to many. To cause others to believe in God. To bring glory to God, revealing His love and presence among men. 4. How to Provoke Miracles By hearing God's Word — faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17). By declaring God's Word — your confession activates divine power. By taking action in faith — obedience releases results. By believing in the man of God — connecting to the anointing upon God's servant brings manifestation (2 Chronicles 20:20). 5. Things That Deny People of Their Miracles Lack of faith — without faith, it is impossible to receive. Lack of knowledge — ignorance blocks access to the supernatural. Lack of application of faith — hearing alone is not enough; faith must be acted upon. Lack of aggression — spiritual passivity causes people to miss divine moments. Lack of consistency — many stop believing too soon. Being overly sensual or emotional — focusing on feelings instead of the Word. Failure to press through — miracles require persistence and determination. Examples: The woman with the issue of blood pressed through the crowd until she touched Jesus' garment and was healed. Blind Bartimaeus refused to be silenced and received his sight. “You must train yourself that whenever you enter an atmosphere of miracles, if there's only one miracle, it must be yours.” “There is help for everybody — but not everyone will access it.” Therefore, take your miracle by faith and by force. CONCLUSION Miracles are a vital part of the Christian life — a demonstration of God's power, love, and faithfulness. Every believer can provoke a miracle through faith, action, and persistence. Do not allow doubt, fear, or inconsistency to rob you of what God has already made available. Like the woman with the issue of blood and Blind Bartimaeus, press through and take your miracle!

TOPIC The Dynamics of the Dominion Mandate PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Genesis 1:26–28 Romans 8:19 Ephesians 2:10 Isaiah 60:1–3 KEY POINTS 1. The Dominion Mandate Is Our Identity The dominion mandate is not a prayer topic but a believer's identity. Every child of God already carries divine power and capacity to influence and transform their environment. Dominion is not something to be requested; it is something to be walked in. God's intention is for believers to rise and function from their position of divine authority. 2. The Dynamics of Dominion Operate Through Prophetic Action Dominion is activated through prayer, prophecy, and faith declarations. As believers pray and declare, destinies are realigned, mysteries are unveiled, and lives are transformed. The prophetic word unlocks divine realities and releases heaven's authority on earth. The believer's mouth is a tool of dominion—words carry power to create, shift, and establish. 3. Dominion Expresses God's Creative Nature God is still releasing creative solutions through His people. Dominion includes the grace to innovate, build, and bring divine ideas to solve world problems. Believers are called to be partners with God in creation, manifesting wisdom and excellence in every field. “God is not out of ideas — He's looking for willing vessels to birth divine innovations.” 4. Dominion Is a Continuous Journey Dominion is not passive or static; it requires spiritual growth and consistency. No matter one's current level, God continues to call His people higher in grace, depth, and dominion. The more a believer yields to God, the more he operates in supernatural authority. True dominion is a life of ongoing ascent — from glory to glory. CONCLUSION Day 6 of PEC 2025 was a night of prophetic dominion and divine empowerment. Through worship, prayer, and prophecy, believers were reminded that they are born to rule and created to reign. Dominion is both identity and responsibility — to think like God, speak like God, and create solutions for the world. Dominion is not passive; it is prophetic, creative, and continuous. Rise and walk in your mandate — you are a carrier of dominion!
