Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Holy Cow

Life is not behind you.. it's ahead of you! "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind  and straining toward what is ahead," Philippians 3:13 1) The unique red heifer had to be sacrificed: Red heifers are very unique and without defect (" but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect" 1 peter 1:9) “This is a requirement of the law that the  Lord  has commanded: Tell the Israelites to bring you a red heifer  without defect or blemish  and that has never been under a yoke.  " Numbers 19:2 2) Jesus carried the wood(cross) on His back (Jesus is our high priest " 14  Therefore, since we have a great high priest  who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God,  let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.   15  For we do not have a high priest  who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in ever

Challenge of the Week

Hello everyone :) How is your Tuesday going?? Mine is great praise God :) Have you ever started praying about something so passionately and a week later you have forgotten about it? Have you considered how much better the results would be if only you had continued to pray about that thing? What have you done about it? Challenge of the week: This week I challenge you to pray continually. So many times in the bible we can see the lasting effects of consistent prayer. I challenge you (and myself) to learn to be consistent and persistent in your (my) prayers. I challenge you (myself) to pray continually. "pray continually," 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Stay Blessed<3

Prayer of the Week

How is everyone doing? How is your Monday going? Praise God mine is going great :) Praying in agreement, have you ever heard of that phrase before? What do you think it means? What are the benefits of praying in an agreement? Prayer of the week: This week pray in agreement (join in a group or even with another person and agree to pray on couple of topics). Bring the same topics up together to the Lord and pray about them. There is something positive that comes when people agree and pray over the same topics. "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them. " Matthew 18:19-20 Stay Blessed<3

True Religion!

For those of you who  go to school in Canada (Ontario to be specific, because am not sure how it is in other provinces) you will probably be nearing the end of your reading weeks (normally knows as spring/march break). But, our schools being the way they are, they give us a reading week. It is literally a reading week, for those who are actually productive, because the week after is usually filled with midterms and assignments. I wanted to be productive in a different city so I  traveled   I know I am making it sound like I went somewhere far, nope just half an hour away.  I had an amazing time, and I did spend two days in the library, so it was fun and productive. However, nothing beats the lesson I learnt and the verse the Lord put on my heart during my reading week. I found out that one of my closest friends, whom I refer to as my cousin, sponsors a 6 year old girl. The little girl had mailed a hand written letter with her picture. In this she stated how because of my cousin’s s

Challenge of the Week

Happy Tuesday everyone :) How is you day going so far? mine is great Praise God! Do you have something in your life that is taking away your peace of mind? Has it been bugging you for a while now? Do you know the source of this unrest within you? What have you done about it? Challenge of the week: This week I challenge you to find the source of the unrest in your lives, I challenge you to dig deep and deeper until you find it! When you do, I challenge you to give it up to Jesus! Recognize that He is source of all peace because He is the prince of peace! Recognize that He wants you to bring your heavy burden and live it at the foot of the cross while picking up His Yoke. His yoke though, is so much easier to carry and is filled with peace! "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6 "Take my yoke upon you an

Or that your life style does not permit you to have solid worship sessions? Prayer of the week: This week pray for wisdom from God. Pray that God will reveal to you that He should come first. Pray that God will guide you in your everyday life, in all of your ways. Pray that you will have a revelation that when He comes first then all else will follow, and it will work out for your benefit.     "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Romans 12:1 "Charm is deceptive, and  beauty  is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised." Proverbs 31:30 Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Acres of Diamonds

Some people don't understand the Unsearchable riches of Christ (The plenitude of His riches)!  "Open my eyes that I may see      wonderful things in your law." Psalms 119:18   1) The devil wants you to think there is something better out there for you and makes you leave the already good thing you have going for you!( Recommended to read Luke 15:11-32 )   "11  Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12  The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. 13  “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14  After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15  So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16  He longed to fill his stomach with the pods

Challenge of the Week

Hello :) I know it is Wednesday, but better late than never :) hope your Tuesday(During the day I mean) was great :) Have you ever sat down to think about your relationship with God? How you ever thought ,How is He sooo loving? How does He manage to forgive so quickly? and perhaps the most important question, Have I been transformed to look like Him, somehow? Or am I so far from where I am supposed to be in my walk with God because my character is so far from Christ? Challenge of the week: This week I challenge you to search deep in to your walk with God. Ask God to change  parts of you that still doesn't look like His son, Jesus Christ. I challenge you especially to take forgiveness seriously! The irony is very obvious in most of our lives, as Christians our main principle of operation should be forgiveness because we have been forgiven. However, many of us struggle with the fact of forgiving a person who wronged us! "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and

Prayer of the Week

Hello Everyone :) Are you Glad it is Monday? I am , Today is the Day The Lord has made, To praise and Worship His Holy name :)!!! There comes a time in our lives where all we see are crossroads, so many different walks of life present them selves as the perfect way out. There are so many paths you can take, but which one has 'God's will' written all over it? which one is the one you need not want? Prayer of the week: This week I ask that you pray about the different paths and directions you are planning on taking. I ask that you pray for God's will to be revealed to you. Pray for discernment, pray for wisdom and understanding! Honestly, His will is so much better than ours! " For this reason, since the day we heard about you,  we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will  through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives" Colossians 1:9 "For I know the plans  I have for you,” d

Video of the week: You Have Shown Us

You have shown us oh God who is gracious You have shown us...You died so I can find forgiveness ..You rose so I can live in You!       "As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received." Ephesians 4:1 "And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again." 2 Corinthians 5:15 Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Formula of Success

"IN THE BEGINNING GOD..." Genesis 1:1 1) Make God first  "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 2) Fear not When you put God first!...I have never seen the righteous forsaken!  8  Then the word of the Lord came to him: 9  “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.” 10  So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?” 11  As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.” 12  “As surely as the Lord your God lives,” she replied, “I don’t have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.”

Prayer of the Week

How are you doing this beautiful Monday? Praise God am doing great! Have you ever had a feeling of entitlement overwhelm you? I have heard numerous preachers preaching on what we deserve and what we have gotten, very recently I listened to a teaching about entitlement. The preacher said that in this generation the young people feel entitled to everything. And in that same attitude we feel we deserved to be saved and hence why God had to save us, because we deserved it! Is that the case though?? No, not at all! Prayer of the week: Pray against the spirit of entitlement. because if it came down to what we actually deserved we all know its hell but in His kindness and mercy He gave us life! "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23. So this week I urge you to pray against this false sense of entitlement that is floating in the air!                                                                            St

Wait for Him for it!

One of the random courses I took in first year was an introduction to human psychology. This course was very interesting and I learnt a lot from it. One of the drawbacks of having a psychology course is having to write a test made by a psychologist. My professor mentioned that one of his colleagues did his PhD on how to set multiple choice questions for exams, and in my head I thoughy "am doooommmmeeddd!" Praise God I did OK in that course. One of the videos we had to watch was a study done on kids. They would take kids one by one in a room with no windows but with cameras for the experimenters to view the kids. The experiment was to give kids one or two marshmallows and telling them to wait for a bit longer. The incentive for waiting was getting 10 marshmallows by the end of the waiting time. Most of the kids took at least a bite out of the marshmallow and some went ahead and devoured it. Do you see yourselves in these kids, I know I do. God is a father, a caring and a
