7 Marks of the Godly from Psalm 1

"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers...For the LORD watches over the way of the

"THE GREATNESS OF GOD"

The Greatness of God is beyond the intellectual capacity of man to comprehend, and any attempt to define His greatness is an exercise in futility.
He has been described as omnipotent, omnipresent, the greatest, most awesome, powerful, glorious, loving being known or unknown to man," and perhaps every other word or expression that might convey His greatness, but it all falls short?
Can anyone comprehend the One who knows the nucleus of every atom, the number of grains of sand upon the earth, the One who knows

"NAMES OF JESUS"

Advancement:God's desire,Human's responsibility

Introduction

In the world, everyone desire to be great or to be successful, but not so many have the technical know how to make it, many pursue it in an ungodly manner. To be successful is the mind of God for his children, Job 1:8b, 3 Jn 2, Deut 8:18 etc, Therefore, advancement is God’s will for His children. Several places in the N.T, pictured the Christian life is as a race (I Cor. 9:24 -27; 2 Tim 4:7; Heb 12:1), Also, to fully understands advancement is to know what race means.

NEVER LOOK BACK!!!

When the apostle Paul wrote his first letter to the Corinthians, we can hear the passion in his voice. “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those of us who are being saved, it’s the power of God.” (See 1 Corinthians 1:18) Can you hear the plea? Do you feel his longing to communicate the importance of this message? He’s saying, “Salvation has come and we will never turn from the power of it!”
If you know anything about the personality of Paul, you know he’s not passive. This is a man who experienced

GOD IS ALWAYS IN CONTROL

God Is Always In Control
Isaiah 45:5-7
We often don’t understand why bad things happen. Even so, we believe that God has a purpose for everything He does or permits. Our faith must be rooted in the biblical principle that says the Lord is sovereign (Ps. 22:28). He is in absolute control of this universe, the natural and political climate of this earth, and our lives.

When we are in the midst of a trial, it is hard to resist crying out,“God, Why is this happening?” Sometimes we get the answer and sometimes we don’t. What we can be sure of is that nothing happens by accident or coincidence. He has a purpose for even our most painful experiences. Moreover, we have His promise to “cause all things to work together for good to those who love God” (Rom. 8:28).

Seeing in advance how the Lord will work evil or hurt for our benefit is very difficult, if not impossible. Our limited human perspective doesn’t allow us to grasp His greater plan. However, we can confirm the truth of this biblical promise because

Welcome

2016 NEW YEAR SPEECH PRESENTED TO THE CONGREGATION BY REV S. ADE AYOOLA AT PHILADELPHIA BAPTIST CHURCH, APETE, IBADAN, OYO STATE, 

ON 1OTH JANUARY 2016

I bring greetings to you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and on behalf of my family. We give thanks to God for this grace that made us crossed over from 2015 to 2016 in peace and whole.  If we look back in retrospect, several socio-political, economic and spiritual related issues consumed people while others are still entangled in various untold hardship occasioned by the year 2015.  For us, we are not unfortunate,we are among the apples of God’s eyes, we benefited from God’s mercies and favors and in all, here we are today, beautiful and radiant in His presence. It is not our doing but God’s wonders and benefits to his children. It is my prayer that we shall not depart from the presence and mercies of God in Jesus Name.

For us as a Church, we have multiple reasons to give thanks to God. Our transformation from the smaller and uncomfortable worship auditorium is enough reasons to continue to thank God. In most Churches, an edifice of this magnitude has become a memorial building which out-lived those who started it, but in our own case, we thank God for granting us the grace to achieve this unprecedented height in the course of our labor in His Vine yard. To God be the glory and honour now and forever more.
