GRACE HOUR WITH PS EBEN

GRACE EMBASSY                                EPAPHRODITUS     (Philippians 2:25-30) Epaphroditus was one of the lay members of the Philippians Church. He was the messenger of the Philippians Church through whom the Church (at Philippi) sent their material offerings to Paul (Php 4:18). Also, he was sent by the Church as a person dedicated to be with him (i.e. Paul) in Rome to help him during his confinement. Epaphroditus became dangerously ill while his stay in Rome and was almost to the point of death Epaphroditus did not quit Paul citing selfish reasons Firstly, Epaphroditus was very brave to have accepted the call of helping out Paul, who was accused of a capital crime. This reason itself would have been sufficient for most to stay away from Paul. However, Epaphroditus, bravely faced this fact, travelled all the way from Philippi to Rome (distance!) and stayed in Rome to help Paul. After this he fell dangerously ill. Even though Epaphroditus became seriously ill, he di

      Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 John 3:9(KJV) It is true that when you are born again you cannot sin? The answer is YES . The bible says ….For whatsoever is not of faith is sin.(Romans 14:23 KJV). The faith here is the faith that worketh by love in the book of Galatians 5:6 that is the faith God is saying here. Faith by love is God Faith that worketh by love is imparted by the word of God. Faith which worketh by love cannot be selfish or cannot fear any darkness. Sin do not separate man from God because the problem of sin has been dealt with on cross in Christ Jesus. The bible says our sins were nailed on the cross with him-(Romans 5:8-11 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled

                MY TITHE Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Malachi 3:8 Now imagine that all the money you have ever been given to the Lord in tithes has been kept in a trust fund earning about 10 percent a year. Before long, you will get it all back. Would you be rich? Or would you be no better off? In our open verse, we noticed that God told the people that they have been robbing him in Tithe, They have been skimping on their tithes for some time now, and it’s affecting their bottom line. Malachi urged the people to stop holding back their tithes, to stop keeping from God what he deserved (Malachi 3: 8-10). The tithe system begun during the time of Abraham in the book of Genesis 14:20, when he gave Melchizedeck a tenth (tithe) of all the goods he had recovered. It was set up by God to provide an income for the Levites who ministered in the tabernacle and the temple of the Lord (Numbers 18:21). During Malach

THE HEALING MINISTRY OF THE GOSPEL Jesus went to every town and village. He taught in their meeting places and preached the good news about God’s kingdom. Jesus also healed every kind of disease and sickness. Matthew 9:35(CEV). The power of God’s word to heal disease and infirmity is proved over and over again in the bible. Without the Gospel the is no healing. Why Jesus could heal is that, He himself is the word of God and the word is what brings healing. When one is sick what is important is to act on the word of God by faith to be healed. The word of God can be demonstrated in your life only faith .Jesus asked …. Do you believe I can make you see? Matthew 9:27 This means Faith + the word of God =Healing. In other words you can’t heal without the word of God. Many times in the church we accentuate the preaching ministry, we stress on the teaching ministry and we need both of them, we just leave one of them, but if we forget the healing ministry, we forget a big portion o

PREPARE TO MEET THE LORD YOUR GOD Question 1 :    Dad, In view of the Covid-19 and the troubles it has put many countries now, it could it be a sign of the end time and what has the Bible said about the end time? Answer: The Covid-19 has been declared as a pandemic by the W orld Health Organization because of its wide spread across countries and the number of lives it has claimed, but history tells us that similar deadly viruses have plagued the world in the past such as the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu that killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide, so Covid-19 is not enough bases for many to conclude that the world is coming to an end. However, Jesus was asked by His disciples about the signs of the end of age and this is what He had to say   “3… Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am

Pastor Eben Amakeh             FORGIVENESS ….and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven (left, remitted, and let go of the debts, and have given up resentment against) our debtors. Matthew 6:12(AMP)

BE WISE AS A CHILD OF GOD. ‘But to those are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power and the wisdom of God’. He who has wisdom, knows God or understand God.1 Corinthians 1:24   If you need wisdom or if you want the power of God, then you need to receive God with all your heart. For God is power, God is wisdom, Solomon asked God to give him wisdom because he knows that Jesus is the wisdom and power of God that he can use to rule. So he knows that if he asks for wisdom for his ruling, he has asked God himself to rule for him, because God has anything. Peter had the wisdom of God, John also had the wisdom and power to God to heal, to deliver, to caste all kinds of sickness. Apostle Paul received the wisdom and the power of God to do more than the other disciples. David was young when he came to the house of King Saul, but he was having the wisdom and power of God, when he later became the king he was able to rule. 1 Corinthians 1:25 “For the foolishness of God is wiser t

THE ACT OF BELIEVING GRACE EMBASSY I believed,therefore have i spoken: i was greatly afflicted Psalms 116:10 When you are a believer, you will know when he asks you to tarry. “I will not give you now, wait “-that does not mean he will not give you. It could be for some reasons, for your protection. It may be to strengthen your desire for him; it could be to prepare you for the further, to keep you alive. Who knows, if the miracle you have been asking for has been given to you, what would have happen to you? Fill your prayer with the scripture because scripture prayer releases the power of God. Prayer and reading the bible should always go together. One is not complete without the other. This tells you that prayer has a language. The language is in the word of God. Read the scriptures because it is food for your spiritual growth. Read it because it is a guide for your feet. Without it, you walk in darkness. Read it, it has a purifying power. Read it, it has a healing pow

PS EBEN Believing is Possession -1 “And these signs will follow those who believe. In the my name they will cast out demons; They will speak new tongues; they will take up serpent; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover”. Mark 16:17-18

GRACE EMBASSY FAITH IS THE INSTRUMENT TO USE “If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and (be) not moved away from the hope of the Gospel, which ye have heard,(and) which was preached to every creature which  is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister".Colossians 1:23

  YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD   For he hath made him (to be) sin for us,who knew sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.2 Corinthians 5:21 He made Jesus to be sin(that is the sin offering) for us,so that we could be made the righteousness of God in him. This is what made it possible for the Lord Jesus to die a sinners death in our place.This brought the result of us standing before God without any sense of  guilt or fear. I sometimes get intimidated when i hear some people saying '' No one is a Righteous person" Remember in the opening verse,the scripture says "For he hath made him to be sin for us,who knew sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.Jesus came for us to be righteous,he didn't come for us to remain unrighteous or sinners.It says he hath made him(Jesus) to be sin for us(you and I),that we might be made the righteousness of God.Glory be to God In the book of  Hebrews 10:19 says "Having therefo

PREACH THE WORD “So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you that are at Rome”. Romans 1:15 J esus left us a message to tell the untold, a message for the whole world, if we talk about the “WORD OF GOD”, what does it mean? “The Word of God is all about God and his Heavenly” which brings us “Salvation”. And Salvation comes when one accept Jesus Christ as his/her Lord and Personal Savior , which also means the process of been saved from the World, the state of been saved from hell, been restored and made new or translated into his Heavenly Kingdom. In the Scripture above, Brethren, Apostle Paul said he is eager, in other words “READY” to proclaim that Jesus is Lord or Preach the word that is Jesus to everyone, which is a duty for every believer who accepts Christ as Lord and Personal Savior, which is the great commission. Jesus left us a message to tell the untold, a message for the whole world. In the book of Ezekiel 3:17 says “Son of man, I have mad

                        WALKING IN THE SPIRIT PS EBEN '' I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, URGE you to walk in a manner worth of the calling" (Ephesians 4:1) Apostle Paul was telling the Ephesians that we should walk in a manner worthy of the calling,walking in a good path,walking in the light. To walk in a manner worthy of your calling is being accompanied by Humility and gentleness, patience,bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.  In 1 Peter 2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and ll evil speakings,.. Every Christian must abstain him or herself from the passion of the flesh, For the enemy of spirit is tricky . As a Child of God, you must make sure that the spirit of God overcomes the flesh.The spirit overcomes the flesh by constant exercising on the word of God ,fasting and praying and meditating on the word of God.When you pray in other tongues,the

YOU  HAVE  SOMETHING TO IMPART PS EBEN AMAKEH For I long to see you ,   that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift ,to the end ye may be established:( Romans 1:11) Notice that the Apostle Paul didn’t say, “…I long to see you that we may pray together and ask God to impart you with some spiritual gifts…..”, no .Rather ,he said,”…..I long to see you , that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift…”Paul knew he had something to give ,contrary to what some people might think about themselves’, they don’t believe they have the gifts of the spirit  “Nobody has any gift; only God has gift, so stop saying you have a gift,” they’d say, thinking they are being humble.      However, that’s ignorance, not humility, and God doesn’t want us to be ignorant about the gift or manifestations of the spirit. He said  in  1corithians 12:1, “Now concerning spiritual gifts brethren, I would not have you ignored ,” because the manifestation of the spirit is given to every man for the  com

INVEST IN YOURSELF (GROW YOUR MIND) But their minds were blinded:......2 Corinthians 3:14 When we talk about "Grow Your Mind" we mean how to take the world to the next level,move to the next level.Here are some of the steps to grow your mind. 1) INVEST TIME IN CREATIVITY . Our creativity doesn’t have to diminish as we get older. In fact, it is believed that the peak of creativity in most people is around 30-40 years old. Creativity can be the catalyst in the manifestation of continual learning and lifelong activity. It allows us to be inspired, have fun and appreciate the beauty in the world. It is very important to manage your time effectively because time is so valuable. Make an audit of how you generally spend your time each day to see if you are prioritizing correctly. You may be surprised to learn that you spend too much time checking and updating your status on Facebook, Whatsapp ,looking at your phone, hitting the snooze button on your alarm and lazing

Ways Entrepreneurs Can Grow PS EBEN As a small business owner, you may have dreams of your company becoming the next Alibaba or Apple, or you might be content making a splash in your local community. Either way, you may wonder how you can make it against large companies that seem to have the people and resources to do the things you can't do.Expansion is Possible Just because your business is small, that doesn't mean you can't think big. Below are three ways you can grow your small business without a big budget. 1)Innovate: One way to innovate an industry is to find a problem that most businesses are ignoring. "Don't be afraid to solve the hard problems that everyone else avoids," wrote Clear. "There is a lot of money to be made when you're the first person to fix something." "Because you have passion and because you can tap into dexterity, you have a perfect mix to better innovate," It doesn't require an inte

FAITH AND THE WORD PS EBEN Now faith is the substance of the things hoped for,the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 You need to meditate on the word of God. The more you meditate on the Word, the more your heart acts upon the Word. When the Word of God dominates your heart, it influences your character and conduct. When faith comes, it influences your conduct and character-it is no longer about what you want to do but about what God want you to do. When your conduct and character are influenced by God that is salvation. When you are saved , you no longer think the way you want to think but the way God want you to think. Allow the word to dominate your hart and all other things that you need will begin to come. Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you.”
