Recorded LIVE at our 2026 Beginning of the Year Fasting & Prayers (Day 3) our Senior Pastor, Rev Dr Femi Paul, led the church in prayers focused on making the most of every great opportunity in 2026. The emphasis of the day was not merely on open doors, but on readiness, wisdom, and grace to maximise every divinely orchestrated opportunity God brings our way. To make the most of opportunity is to maximise it through preparation, discernment, and timely action. As opportunities open in 2026, we will do good, we will do very good, and the Lord will be glorified. Scripture Readings: JOHN 5:5-7 (NKJV) JOHN 5:7 (TLB) 2 CHRON 1:7 (NKJV) 2 CHRON 1:10 (NKJV) 2 CHRON 1:11-12 (MSG) PROV 12:27B (AMP) MATT 25:28 (NKJV) GAL 6:10A (NKJV) Prayers: Father, prepare me to maximise every opportunity You open before me in 2026. I receive divine wisdom to act rightly and timely. I will do good and produce strong testimonies, in Jesus name. Amen.
The books of 1-2 Chronicles begin in seemingly the least engaging way imaginable, that is, with nine chapters of long genealogies! However, these lists of peoples, tribes, clans, and families teach us a lot about the theology of the author and what his main focus will be for the rest of the books. Enjoy this sample from Lesson 2, "Genealogies of Salvation History (1 Chron 1-9)" from Dr. Nick's ten-part course, "1-2 Chronicles: The Kingdom of the Lord." Anyone can join our community of students and stream the entire audio lesson and full course (and other courses too!) whenever they wish.

In this section of scripture King Jehoshaphat is surrounded by an army that caused him great fear. Have you ever had a time on your life when you are suddenly surrounded by overwhelming circumstances? A personal battle with temptation? A marital crisis? A debilitating health condition? The death of a loved one? A prodigal son or daughter?Truth be told beloved, we all have had our times when it seemed like there is no way out. What can be used to help us work through such times? Well, what did Jehoshaphat do? He set aside a time to fast. He acknowledged God's sovereignty (vs. 6), God's covenant (vs. 7), God's presence (vs. 8,9), God's goodness (vs. 10), God's possession (vs. 11) and their utter dependence upon Him (vs. 12).In the midst of the anticipation of the forthcoming battle, the prophet Jahaziel said, "Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's (2 Chron 20:15). That does not mean that we shirk any human responsibility related to our battle, whatever it may be. But it does mean this: You and I as followers of Jesus Christ never face any battle in life alone. Yes, we have family, and friends who are there with us, and for that, we can and should be thankful, but then there are BATTLES that only the presence of God can get us through. Shepherd boy David said to the giant Goliath, and all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands (1 Sam 17:47).Beloved, our God promises to be with us in every battle, every fiery furnace, every single lion's den. When Jehoshaphat heard what God said to him and the people of God, we see in verses 18-21 that the people of God began to worship The Lord before the battle was fought, confident in God's promise of victory. For the child of God, death itself will be swallowed up in victory (1 Cor 15:54). The tribulation saints got the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God (Rev 15:2). But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Cor 15:57). We may lose a skirmish here and there beloved, but when all is said and done, Jesus prevails because He has won the ultimate battle over sin, the devil and death for us. Halleujah to His Name. SELAH

Hilariously written about a serious topic! J.J. is living with a hidden disease, Chron's. In this story, the disease is an actual character (funny and sarcastic) named Norm--a 7 foot ogre and motorcycle gang member. Filled with tons of illustrations, middle grade readers will LOVE it.

In Part 2 of The Priestly Shift Series, Dr. Kenny Russell reveals Yeshua as the Bridegroom of Sinai and eternal High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. Discover how the marriage covenant at Sinai, the fall into the Levitical system, and the Cross all connect in one continuous story of redemption and restored relationship. Study the Scriptures listed above and see how the Bridegroom King is calling His people back into covenant love and royal priesthood.Part 2 The Bridegroom, the Priesthood, and the Promise - Yeshua the Covenant HusbandFrom Sinai to the Cross, the same divine Bridegroom, YHVH revealed in Yeshua, has been calling His people into covenant. The priesthoods, covenants, and promises all point to the restoration of the original Melchizedek order through Messiah.1️⃣ Yeshua Was the Bridegroom at SinaiAt Mount Sinai, Israel entered a marriage covenant with YHVH, the very Word who would later become flesh (John 1:1-14).• Exodus 19:3-5 “If you obey Me fully and keep My covenant…”• Exodus 6:7 “I will take you as My own people.”• Isaiah 54:5 “For your Maker is your Husband.”• Jeremiah 2:2 “The devotion of your youth, as a bride you loved Me.”• John 1:1, 14 “The Word was God… The Word became flesh.”• John 8:58 “Before Abraham was, I AM.”• 1 Corinthians 10:4 “The Rock was Messiah.”• Romans 7:2-4 Through His death the Husband died, releasing Israel to enter a New Covenant.It was the pre-incarnate Word who covenanted with Israel. At Calvary, the same Bridegroom fulfilled the Torah's marriage law - dying and rising to unite Jew and Gentile into one redeemed Bride.2️⃣ The Covenant at Sinai Was Melchizedek in Order - Before the Golden CalfIntended Order:“You shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” Exodus 19:6Before sin entered, Israel was called to the Melchizedek pattern, royal-priestly access to God without Levitical mediation (see Genesis 14:18-20).The Shift after the Calf:When Israel worshiped the golden calf (Exodus 32), the priesthood changed from firstborn to Levi (Exodus 32:26; Deuteronomy 10:8).This Levitical order became a temporary administration to manage sin until Messiah restored direct access.Galatians 3:24 “The law was put in charge to lead us to Christ.”Hebrews 7:11 “If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood… why was there still need for another priest?”3️⃣ Misunderstood ‘Forever' Verses about the Levitical PriesthoodHebrew עוֹלָם (olam) often means “for an age” or “until the appointed time.”These verses describe continuity within the Mosaic covenant, not eternity.Passage Common Assumption Correct Context Fulfillment in MessiahExodus 29:9 Eternal Levitical rule For the age of Moses Ended at the Cross (Heb 9:10)Exodus 40:15 Everlasting generations Limited to Aaron's line Heb 7:12 – law and priesthood changedNumbers 25:13 Phinehas eternal priesthood Within Levitical system Heb 8:13 – old made obsoleteLeviticus 16:34 Perpetual atonement day Until fulfillment Heb 9:12; 10:10 – once for all1 Chron 23:13 Aaron forever Worship of that era Superseded by heavenly tabernacleMalachi 2:4-8 Unbroken Levi covenant Conditional — priests failed Yeshua restores true priesthoodPsalm 110:4 — Anchor text of transition Messiah = Eternal Melchizedek4️⃣ Yeshua Restores the Original PriesthoodThrough His death and resurrection, Yeshua reinstated the Melchizedek order permanently:Psalm 110:4 “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.”Hebrews 7:23-24 “He lives forever and has a permanent priesthood.”This fulfills Exodus 19:6 and extends the priestly calling to

Their conversation also explores the treatment of the law by Jesus, the nature of demons (a highly nuanced issue relating to the Greek concept of daimonia), and the significance of Hezekiah's prayer for God's forgiveness of Israelites who had been guilty of breaking Mosaic law (2 Chron. 30).
