Welcome to NECF sermons. Each message here is
designed to uplift and strengthen you in your
walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until
the end for our rewarding experience. Let's dive
right in. We are here to charge each other. To
steer up each other. for Catatissmus for the
believers conference that is coming and for walks
for good walks for good walks for the walk of
ministry Hebrews 10, let's start with Hebrews
10 the title of the teaching or the exhortation
or the encouragement is what to know before a
believers conference so what we need to know
before a believers conference when there's a
conference like this coming up what we need to
know is also valid for every believers meeting
you attend that you know what you are going there
to do that we understand what we are coming together
for think about so if i enjoy the teaching what
should to after a believers conference and this
is just something like you know the other side
of the coin which is like what to know right
before a believers conference you see one of
the things I believe that is very valuable to
yourself and myself is our time right? very precious
that when we go to a place we get the value of
why we are there. Praise God. That is why it
is necessary to know certain things when you
are coming to a believers meeting, when you are
coming to a conference, when you are coming to
church for service, when you are coming to a
place of prayer. There are certain things that
must be set in place. It helps our mind to receive.
Right? It's like a student attending or enrolling
for a program. With no intention of what they
will come out with They have no idea that there
will be a certificate at the end. They have no
idea that there's a transcript It means that
the student is just there for just for the long
run But when you enroll with an understanding
You will be able to catch everything that that
institution has provided for you. Have it together
But when you don't go there without understanding
some things will be passing you by Including
you know the grades it's the same when we come
to spiritual things are much more important that
when we come together There is something That
we must know so that we can receive in abundance
what God has for us Are we together so that we
can receive in abundance what God has for us?
Hebrews 10 verse verse 24. It says, and let us
consider one another to provoke unto love and
to good works. Let us consider one another to
provoke. That what provoke is to steer up one
another unto love and good works. And this year
we know that the theme of the church is greater
works. Greater works through the Spirit of God.
Greater works in the Holy Ghost. So one of the
things that we must know is that in a believer's
conference We are coming together to steer each
other up in love and for good works We are coming
to steer each other up in love unto love and
for good works It means that it is not the pastors
that will do it alone You will participate in
the steering Do you get it? You will participate
in the sharing when we come together We stay
each other up for good for good works for good
works and that good works Starts from the works
of ministry. It is the work of ministry Now come
on right down because people might be asking
you what is this believers conference? I just
try to craft out a definition after examining,
you know yesterday when pastors missing and this
was like We're realizing that it's like the seventh
year of the same believers conference like the
seventh year of holding this meeting here in
here out and We can see The move of God we can
see the revelation of God we can see the power
of God in every of our meetings So as we come
together to stay each other up unto love and
good works we can say that a believers conference
Okay, we can write We can write this all starts,
you know happening from next week starting from
now a believers conference Is where time is given
okay a believers conference is where time is
given a Believers conference is where time is
given To activities A believer's conference is
where time is given to activities that take place
in every form of believer's meeting. This is
just the definition while I was preparing. It
just struck me. that what we are actually doing
and we are calling conference is a combination
of many believers meeting stretched out within
a week so a believers conference is where time
is given to activities that take place in every
form of believers meeting every form of believers
meeting so this will help us to shape our expectation
when you come to a meeting when you come to church
when you come next week what we're trying to
do this morning is to shape our expectation to
make us know what we need to know so that when
things are happening you won't say ah this is
strange you know there was a time jesus was teaching
and he healed someone and because of the teaching
and the healing the people there said we have
seen a strange thing today we are shaping our
expectations i won't say that so that we will
be participants in what God is doing in that
meeting so just a quick summary of what we've
known before right a quick summary of what we've
known before and we'll give an illustration of
a people that had a meeting with God you know
just as we have our believers meeting there's
some people in the scriptures they had a meeting
with God in fact God called them for a meeting
and we can learn what we need to know in a believers
conference the believers meeting from that so
let's write down the first and the most important
that we always emphasize is the teaching meeting
right the teaching meeting so from next week
one of the things that will be seen is that there
will be a lot of teaching hours from next week
a lot of teaching hours so teaching meeting Means
one person is teaching and others are listening
and writing They're listening they're writing.
So the first thing is the teaching meeting Where
others are listening and one person is teaching
now, why do we have a teaching meeting? I'm gonna
give scriptures for that. Well, I need to tell
us why why is there extensive time of teaching?
When Paso Victor was praying he said sometimes
the will of God is not popular You must know
that that's sometimes the will of God is not
it means that is not is not common among people
Is the times will come when many would draw back?
from the correct doctrine of Christ and That
scripture says your duty is to what to preach
the word so in a believers meeting that is a
teaching meeting right sorry teaching meeting
one of the reasons why we have it is for persuasion
and convincing so you can write it down we have
teaching meetings for persuasion you need to
be persuaded you know sometimes when we teach
salvation we can teach it one hour here sometimes
we can teach it you know extensively maybe two
hours here but in this meeting we're going to
teach for hours so it is for persuasion for persuasion
for convincing So that you will be fully convinced
that nobody will be able to change your mind
pertaining the will of God for your life I Say
it again that we will teach the world that you
will be so convinced and so Persuaded that nobody
will be able to change your mind regarding the
will of God for your life Let's go to acts Let's
go to the book of Acts. There are many scriptures,
right? Acts 17 Acts 17 10 to 12. Acts 17 10 to
12. Let's start with that. Persuasion And the
brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas
by night unto Berea who considered went into
the synagogue of the Jews next They were more
noble than those in Thessalonica in that they
received the word with all readiness of mind
and such the scriptures daily whether those things
were so 12 Therefore many of them believed also
of the honorable women which were Greeks and
of men not a few not a few now this was Paul
going into the synagogues to teach It is not
a one day thing. A series of, of course the scriptures
just put it within two few verses. But one thing
that is sure there is that it was a teaching
meeting. That these people had to go and go back
and search themselves. And they were convinced
and they believed. And said not a few believed.
Not a few believed. Not a few believed. Acts
18. Verse 24 to 28 but many believed act 18 Act
18 Act 18 And when Paul was now about to open
his mouth, sorry is the act 18 Verse 24, can
you go to 24? Yes, and a sudden Jew named Apollos
born at Alexandria an eloquent man and mighty
in the scriptures came to Ephesus the next and
the man was instructed in the way of the Lord
and being fervent in spirit he spake and taught
diligently the things of the Lord knowing only
the baptism of John and began to speak boldly
in the synagogue see a place where teaching takes
place the synagogue teaching extensive teaching
when whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard
they took him unto them and expounded unto him
the way of God more perfectly Next and when he
has the when he was disposed to pass in into
a care the brethren wrote exulting the disciples
to receive him who when it was come help them
much with Help them much which had believed through
grace then 28 for he mightily did what? Convince
the Jews and that's publicly Showing by the scriptures
that Jesus was Christ This was someone who was
already preaching who was already engaging in
the synagogues but he did what he convinced mightily
convinced so one of the essence of teaching extensively
is that beyond reasonable doubts you are able
to convince others from your conviction because
you are convinced you are able to do what you
are able to persuade others you barely persuade
others when you are not persuaded You cannot
persuade others when you're not persuaded But
when you are persuaded it helps you to persuade
others to tell others Christ is the Messiah Acts
19 Acts 19 But when divers were hardened and
believe not but speck evil I think we can start
from verse 8 verse 8 Acts 19 verse 8 and he went
into the synagogue and specked boldly for the
space of three months disputing and persuading
the things concerning the kingdom of God who
was that? that was Paul that was Paul he said
he went into the synagogue and specked boldly
base of three months we just have one week and
we want to see how much we can do hallelujah
we just have one week right maybe there will
be a time when it will be three months i believe
it's possible when we will be persuading people
concerning the things that pertain to the kingdom
of god so few hours in caratismos is few Six
hours per day is just few, and we pray. So in
teaching meeting, the essence is for us to be
convinced beyond reasonable doubt. To be convinced,
to be persuaded. The next one, just a prayer
meeting. Prayer meeting, which we have prayer
meeting. Prayer meeting. You write scriptures
Acts 4 verse 23 to 24 Acts 4 verse 23 to 24 and
verse 31 just write the scriptures down the scriptures
we've read Acts 13 verse 1 to 2 Acts 13 verse
1 to 2 what happens in this kind of meeting is
that people are stirred up the examples of the
scriptures we found is that people are stirred
up for the work of ministry to have boldness
to preach the word so they pray for boldness
they pray for boldness they are stirred up all
are all praying everybody praying together When
we begin to pray together we steer each other
up in the Holy Ghost We steer each other up in
the Holy Ghost We steer each other up so in the
week coming we will see abundance of this We
have prayers in the morning. We have prayers
in the evening. We have prayers all through While
the word has been taught you can be praying under
your breath when the time for prayer comes you
can pray The essence is that it helps you to
also receive the word effectively When you're
praying under your breath while the word is coming
you receive the word more effectively. It means
you are actively participating So in prayer meetings,
which we also have in this hour meeting Everybody
prays, oil is filled, oil is teared up, oil receive
direction Let's go to 1 Corinthians 14 1 Corinthians
14 26. I think I'm running too fast but... So
when you come together, how is it then brother?
When you come together, every one of you had
a psalm, had a doctrine, had a tongue, had a
revelation, had an interpretation. Let all things
be done unto edifying. Let all things be done
unto edifying. Now in prayer meetings... We have
the expressions of the Holy Ghost as well Okay
in prayer meetings. We have the expression of
the Holy Ghost We have demonstrations among believers
We have demonstrations among believers So while
prayer is going on right we're gonna have this
demonstrations We can have this Holy Ghost time
where we receive the word. Now it says when you
come together every one of you are a psalm, a
doctrine, a tongue, a revelation. You have an
interpretation. Sometimes when we start a prayer
meeting it turns to an Holy Ghost meeting. Right?
We start praying, we start praying, we start
praying and before we know we start ministering
to each other. So prayer meeting can actually
become an Holy Ghost meeting. As we just sit
down to pray. I will begin to receive the word.
I'll begin to minister to one another. Now, another
one you can write is healing and healing meetings,
healing meetings. I actually thought it's healing
and miracle meetings, but healing meetings is
fine. Now, while in the caratismos, we are not
emphasizing this that much. right we're not actually
emphasizing you know we're not giving time to
teach about healing i don't think that teaching
will come or calling people out i mean or going
out rather going out or bringing people there's
something you must know about when the teaching
meeting is taking place so others meeting it's
not like they are so exclusively separated right
sometimes you're having a teaching right and
The teaching is going on and by the leading of
the Holy Ghost we just stop and it becomes a
healing meeting. And we begin to teach about
healing and we begin to heal on that spot. Luke
5 verse 17 to 26. Luke 5 verse 17 to 26. This
is Jesus. And it came to pass on a certain day
as he was teaching that there were Pharisees
and doctors of the law sitting by so we see that
this is a teaching meeting for Jesus right go
to the next verse and behold men brought a man
in bed a man which was taken with palsy and they
sought means to bring him in to lay him before
him so while Jesus was in a teaching meeting
someone was in need and that need was what was
met Do you get it? So while pastors will be teaching
there will be series of teaching taking place
you must Be perceiving that as that teaching
is taking place something Needs will be met Healing
will take place Direction will be given remember
that scripture that we used to read that While
Paul while Peter yet speak the Holy Ghost did
what it fell on them while Peter was teaching
So while teaching is taking, that's why we give
teaching priority. A lot of priority. So that
while we are teaching, you also knowing now that
while teaching is going, you can receive. Within
you, you are praying under your breath and you
are receiving healing. Go to verse 26. We knew
this man receive his healing. Go to verse 26.
It says, and they were all amazed and they glorified
God. That was after Jesus healed him. And they
were filled with fear, saying, we have seen strange
things today. We have done what? We have seen
strange things today in Cardatismus. Strange
things will happen. Say strange things will happen.
We will do strange things by the Holy Ghost.
We know those things are not strange. Healing
is not strange. Having clarity and direction
is not strange. Hearing the voice of God is not
strange. But it will call a strange things so
mighty and miraculous things will happen as the
teaching is taking place I'm using this to set
your expectation so that when you come and you
sit down You will not just be waiting for the
word was you are receiving the word you are perceiving
within your spirit You are receiving the word
within your spirit. You are believing God that
healing is taking place. You're receiving direction
Confusion is taking away Do you want to make
decisions? As the man of God will be teaching
you are receiving clarity So we will experience
this but we experience healing in this meeting
we experience healing in this meeting Now another
meeting that we have is the evangelistic meeting
which Cataclysm will prepare us very well this
believers conference will prepare us very well
because we're gonna teach about how to answer
questions As someone ever asked you, why not
Islam? Why not Buddhism? Why not Scientology?
As someone ever asked you that question, why
did you choose the Christian faiths? As someone
ever confronted you with this question, that
what if you were not born in a Christian home?
We would explain thoroughly. empowering each
and every one of us for evangelism hallelujah
for evangelism while it's not exactly an evangelistic
meeting because we might not have more of people
unbelievers coming in or going out to meet them
but there's empowerments for you to hold an evangelistic
meeting wherever you go there'll be many people
traveling home right after the meeting there'll
be many people going back to their countries
so what you should pick in this meeting is that
I want to pick something that I can hold an evangelistic
meeting in my community and men will be saved.
Let's go to Acts 8. This is the empowerment that
we are given. It said, therefore, they that were
scattered abroad went where they were preaching,
went where they were preaching the word you know
and I was like well for us there's no persecution
scattering us abroad but graduation is scattering
us abroad right hallelujah graduation is sending
us forth is scattering us abroad we have many
people everywhere that have been part of this
believers meeting for several years and whether
we like it or not sooner or later some of us
here most of us here will also be scattered abroad
what will you be doing abroad in the country
you are desiring to go what will you be doing
Will you just go there and you will turn it to
a place of you know economic Stability and all
of that. No much more Importantly is that you
will go wherever you are going doing what preaching
the word You go wherever you're going doing what
preaching that is why this meeting is there,
you know That's why we're encouraging people
risk. I do your flight do this do that because
it will launch you into starting up meetings
like evangelistic meetings now let's see you
know while I was preparing this someone a brother's
name came to my mind and I'm going to read it
when we finish all right let's read verse 5 it
says then Philip went down to the city of Samaria
and preached Christ unto them And the people
which one accord gave heed you see people will
listen to you never doubt it someone say oh What
what if I preach and nobody listen people will
listen to you because it is the power of God
It is the power of God You know sometimes when
we go for evangelism in city center one of the
first thing is what if the person says no What
if person doesn't want to hear what if I don't
have time what if people will listen to you?
You know when you go with so many people they
say I don't have time and you beg them for two
three minutes and they will give you that time
but they never had time right because you want
to share something that is very important with
them so people will listen to you you must know
that men from every nation will listen to you
after you have been equipped and strengthened
is that and people which one i could give heed
onto those things which philip speak hearing
and seeing the miracles which you did for unclean
spirits crying with loud voice came out of many
that were possessed with them and many taken
with palsies and that were lame were healed and
there was great joy in that city hallelujah this
is what we read it is because there was a preaching
of the gospel signs and wonders following and
what there was great joy in that cities they
said the disciples also rejoice so Men will always
seek the gospel from you. Did you hear that?
Men, they might not know it. They might not even
know it. See, they would always seek the gospel
from you. Because when you present it, they will
know that is the power of God. Verse five. So
in verse five, you can replace it with your name.
and the name that I said you know while I was
teaching and I was preparing the teaching that
came to my mind that came to my mind was I said
then verse 5 then Prince went down to the city
of Monrovia where's brother Prince? okay brother
Prince you are there yes so you are the one that
came to my prayer you know you what I just I
didn't even know Monrovia and Samaria sounded
alike you know but when I was preparing the teaching
your name just kept coming to my mind not because
you are the one in charge of evangelism sincerely
not that but it just came that priests went down
to the city of Moravia and you preach Christ
unto them so you can insert your name inside
the place you're going that after this meeting
I will go into a city and I will with boldness
preach with boldness people that have been worried
about sharing with people that have been thinking
would they hear me with boldness I would go I
will hold an evangelistic meeting Now the last
one is The Holy Ghost meeting which is the last
day of the catatismos The Holy Ghost meeting
which is the last day which is more or less prayer
meeting you will observe that what we do is we
pray and we have the Holy Ghost meeting we pray
and We have the Holy Ghost that's why I say praying
and Holy Ghost meeting they flow together prayer
meeting and Holy Ghost meeting flow together
So your first Corinthians 12 verse 4 to 11 first
Corinthians 12 verse 4 to 11 first Corinthians
14 verse 26 that were read This is where the
demonstration is in abundance it's giving room
for this demonstration so when you are coming
for Galatians Moses you know that You will have
a Sam you will have a doctrine You will have
a tongue, you have revelation, you have interpretation.
If you have not interpreted your tongues before,
you will interpret your tongues. It means that
at the spot of the moment, while you are praying
in the Holy Ghost, while you are praying, the
Holy Ghost within your spirit begins to tell
you what you're praying about. It's an experience
that is real. It's an experience that is real
that when you begin to pray in tongues Within
your spirits you will receive what you're paying
about you will receive instructions You will
receive clarity on what you're praying about
On the spot of the moment by the Holy Ghost so
we can say That's karatis most is the power packed
meeting Yes, I understand that because that is
most the believers conference is a power pack
You know power pack meeting those that we used
to go power pack you see drama you see singing
you see choreography and all of that While those
sustained and lasted for those moments we are
sure that these meetings this expression this
kind of Occurrences and meetings in our conference
is what makes it power pack This is what makes
it power pack that men can run Men can fly men
can do greater works for God after the meeting
Are we ready to do something this morning come
stand up and pray in the Holy Ghost We appreciate
you being here today, we hope you carry this
war with you throughout your week Don't forget
