Praise should go beyond the sing that we sing and the words of our mouth. Praise should be a lifestyle. Psalm 148: 5. Jeremiah 45: 1 We should be faithful and pursue faithfulness Find God's plan and purpose for your life. And stay with it. Acts 16: 22. Let's praise that we will consistently depend on him That God will be our first option and only option. We need to change our whole mind-set to living our whole life for praise. In the scenario of Paul and Silas in the prison as they weren't praising God to save them but they were just praising God because of the privilege to be in such situation because of God. Daniel 3:13. Let's consistently depend on God, irrespective of what's happening. Staring at death and the fact that they will be burnt they still stood their ground trusting that the out some will be Good.

Babatunde Idowu Topic: Acceptable Praises and Worship Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:15-23 Message It is an accepted fact that we should praise God but the issue is how to praise God to be acceptable by Him. How can we praise and worship God acceptably? We must do it joyfully: acceptable praise and worship must be with a deep seethed joy in our heart (Neh 8:1-10). As a child of God let nothing take away your joy. We must be prayerful: we must pray without ceasing by reporting everything to God. Don't think anything is too small or big to report to God, be prayerful. We must be thankful: when you look at your situation no matter what, you are still doing better than some people so we must be thankful. Always see a reason to thank God because God is good. We must be Spirit-ful: make sure in all you do you are being led by the spirit. Make sure to feed your spirit man with the word of God.

Babatunde Idowu Theme: Let Everything Praise The Lord Topic: God deserves your Praises and Worship Text: Psalm 148:1-14, Rev. 4:9-11, Psalm 50:14-23 Message What is praise and why should we give it to God? The Bible said offer it unto God. Praise means value, price or worth. So whatever you consider to have value and worth is what you praise. Anything that have the fear of God is worthy of praise. When you know God has value in your life, you have no choice but to praise Him. To praise is a form of commendation, approval etc. you give to something or someone you find worthy. As believers we must learn to appreciate God always. We must learn to give Him praise and worship. When you offer praises to God, you are glorifying Him. Why must we give Him praise? He demands it. You must determine to give God praise whether you like it or not. Always appreciate God regardless of how you see your situation. Offer to Him sacrifice of thanksgiving. He owns all of us

Speaker: Rev M. C. Adebisi Topic: What Seeketh thou? Text: Mark 10:46-52, John 1: 35-42, 1 Kings 3:4 God is asking us as Christians, what we seek? The way and manner we answer that question determines everything we do in every spheres of our lives. Some asks god for things that does not please him, they only ask god for things that are beneficial to them, and when god answers, they forget about god. That should not be our attitude as Christians, we should not seek god only because of what we get from him but should seek god diligently at all times. All we need is to have a connection with our maker, so that when we seek him, we will be able to find him. We should seek god by praying, fasting, reading the word of god, and being a good Christian.

God works in a seemingly absurd way, He brings impossible things together and make them possible. He works in mysterious ways. There are situations and circumstances where God suspended nature just for His word to take cause. As human beings any situation that comes suddenly and is not to our favour, our natural reaction is fear but as believers what we do in that situation is what matters, do you allow it to control you? Or. Do you take it to God in prayers? As individuals we should already know and be familiar to how God speaks to us. As believers we are supposed to always take steps of faith in ensuring that God's plan come to pass in our lives. As believers we should always learn to listen and obey so as not to miss what God has in store for us. Prayers Lord, help us to always trust in your ways Lord, help

Babatunde Idowu Theme: Seeking after God's help Topic: Refuse to be confused, Refuse to be intimidated Text:2 Chronicles 20:1-5, 13-21 Message Challenges will always come at one point or the other but nothing should cause us to be confused or intimidated as children if God. When they come it should always be in our hearts as children if God that this challenge shall not overcome us. When challenges come and you are settled in your heart that you are right with God, you can boldly then wait on the lord to come through for us. The fact that you are challenged or things are not the way it should be is not the issue, the issue is that how do you deal with these things. As children of God when we are confused or intimidated, we should always talk to God who is omniscience. Do not allow circumstances and situations make you forget you have God, He will never leave nor forsake you. We should always remember that there is a God who is always working in our favour and draw

How does a sheep behave? They are naturally defenceless against predators. They cannot do anything to protect themselves. The only thing a sheep knows to do well is to follow the Shepherd.

It is possible for us as Christians to be safe amidst all the bad happening around us because of the promise of security God has assured us as Christians.

Acts of Bravery As Christians we must have total dependence in God coupled with the boldness to stand firm in our beliefs. 2. Acts of Courage The ultimate goal as a Christian is to win the battle of life without conforming to the dictates, practices and standards of the world. 3.

Joseph stood firm in his faith refusing to fall a victim to the advances of Potiphar wife, but his faithfulness and steadfastness was greatly rewarded by God through his promotion and favour in the sight of Pharaoh and men. He also showed great courage and was totally dependent on God’s directions and directives never drifting away from his path. 4. We must stand out, be courageous and aim to please God not men.
