DON’T LIVE IN FEAR (A sermon delivered by Fortune Nwaiwu on Wed. 19th  June, 2019) “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline” – 2 Tim. 1:7 NLT Introduction Fear is a psychological phenomenon, a deadly game that may not lead one to the level one desires or to achieve one's aspirations. There are a lot of people who are living under the umbrella of fear. It could be the fear of lack, the fear of losing a partner, job, or the fear of death- living in sickness, or the fear of rejection. Whatever it may be, remember that God has not given you the spirit of fear. Then why must you live in fear? Why would you be afraid of the house rent you have not yet renewed? Why would you be afraid of that your seaming condition now? Why would you fear for the sickness that has bedridden you now? Do you think that God does not see you at the moment of your despair, a time it pains, hurting you all the time? Remember, fear is a weapon of Satan, whi...

Jesus  is Knocking  A sermon preached by Fortune Nwaiwu on Sun. 9th June, 2019. Introduction : There are different varieties of doors. We have interior doors, exterior doors, glass doors, and wooden doors. But in all, the door that Jesus Christ is Knocking on is your very HEART. Heart is a domain of forces, supposedly a dwelling home of God. Jesus is eager and meek to come into your heart and dwell in there to feed you with good thoughts nourishing your soul to keep it secure from danger and sin, and to give it life in abundance but Satan is aggressively fighting to steal it. Jesus Christ says: ‘The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly', John 10:10 NHEB. There are people whose souls have been stolen by Satan with the wealth of this world, and they tend to believe that they have gotten all they want in life. Such people are not only unbelievers but also some church members. Their belief in self-satisfac...

A sermon preached by Fortune Nwaiwu on Sun 16th June, 2019. "But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven." Luke 10:20 NLT. Introduction: I see that there are some unfathomable mysteries about human existence and the relationship of soul and his maker which some men of this world are unable to discover because they don’t want to know. We are too attached to everything about the external part of our lives which comprises of our needs i.e. education, business and social life, and we then show less concern to the inward, the real man. The inward is the essence of being human, and when we fail to recognise how important it is, it's said to have been tarnished because great harm of negligence has been done to it. In this era of civilization, registrations are no longer done with analogue (registering in a book) but with a computer and saved in a database. In the banking industry, if you didn’t register your bank accoun...

                     WHERE IS YOUR HOPE? A sermon preached on the Easter Sunday, 21st April, 2019 by Rev. Fortune Nwaiwu Can the dead live again? If so, this would give me hope through all my years of struggle, and I would eagerly await the release of death”− Job 14:14 NLT. I preach from the angle of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ who was crucified. We see that there were many people in those days that had committed crimes and were supposed to die based on the Law of Moses (i.e. the man that committed adultery with the woman that was brought to Jesus that he saved) but no one sentenced them to death. But why is it that our Lord Jesus Christ, an innocent soul was crucified? He came to show us the way, to save us from the power of sin. In order to fulfil the scriptures, he was destined to die for us all, but his people did not know him. ...

Sermon 16. THE GOD OF ELEVENTH HOUR by Fortune Nwaiwu “And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said unto them, why stand ye here all the day idle?”─ Matt. 20:6 KJV. B rethren, do you know that an “eleventh hour” is an idiomatic expression which means the last hour─ the last possible moment for doing something [before it’s too late]. From the “Parable of the Vineyard workers” told in Matt. 20:1-7, we see a set of people who were not employed to work in the vineyard of God. They were like applicants seeking for employments but no one was hiring them, and so they stood idle perhaps in a main road or street. When there was a massive recruitment, their applications were not honored, and in the subsequent one, no one considered them but it was by God’s mercy that they were found standing idle at the late hour, a time they might have considered themselves as unlucky fellows, a time their children would look unto them for ...

sermon 8.   Don't Share Your Secrets A sermon preached on 18th February, 2018. "A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence"--- Proverb 11:13 NLT. Introduction A   man was seen at the front of a bank inserting his ATM card into an ATM machine, and he was using his hands and body to cover where he was putting his ATM secret PIN (security code). His reason for doing that was that he did not want people to know about his PIN, to avoid being swindled or defrauded. He could tell people the bank he operates with, but he would never disclose his secret PIN to them. He knows that his PIN is a password to his blessings and a source of his livelihood. If he tells people about his secret, he could be ruined and doomed. I then remembered a man who told his son all about his ATM card PIN, and his son secretly took it to withdraw money. Thank God that the son was apprehended by police on the way, when...
