Today, Pastor Yomi Badejo-Okusanya shared an uplifting message titled "The Author & Finisher!" with the lead scripture Hebrews 12:2a (NKJV): “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.” He emphasized that our faith journey begins and ends with Christ, who not only initiates but perfects our walk with God.

Referencing Jeremiah 1:5 (AMP), Pastor Yomi reminded the congregation of God's intentionality: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you... and consecrated you.” This affirms that each believer is divinely appointed for a unique purpose, fully known and empowered by God.

He encouraged the church to keep their eyes on Jesus, trusting in His ability to fulfill the plans He has for us, from start to finish.

The Hand of the Lord That Serves and Feeds Us

At today’s Holy Communion service, Pastor Femi Paul shared a powerful exhortation and themed: “Communion for Obliteration of Problems!”
Drawing from Psalm 34:19 (NCV) — “People who do what is right may have many problems, but the LORD will solve them all!” — Pastor reminded us that divine intervention is reserved for those who live righteously and faithfully serve God. It’s not that righteous people don’t face challenges, but God promises to solve them all!

He introduced the word "obliteration" — a complete and utter removal, leaving no trace behind. That is God’s intent with our problems: to root out, snuff out, stamp out, wipe out, and sweep out every issue confronting His people!

Using 2 Chronicles 20:1-3 (MSG), Pastor illustrated how Jehoshaphat, when faced with a massive threat, responded not with fear but with prayer, fasting, and nationwide unity in seeking God. Though shaken, he looked to God for help — and so must we.

This Communion was therefore declared as prophetic and powerful, ordained for the obliteration of your problems, my problems, and our problems — by the hand of the Lord!

At today’s Holy Communion Service, Pastor Yomi Badejo-Okusanya brought a timely word titled “The Narrow Option.” He challenged us to reflect on the life of true discipleship — one that doesn’t follow the crowd but chooses the narrow gate that leads to life (Matthew 7:13–14 CEV, MSG, Easy). It’s not always the popular path, but it is the one that brings transformation and eternal reward.

Referencing 2 Corinthians 5:17, we were reminded that in Christ, we are made new, called to live differently. Pastor Yomi then expounded on the unshakable love of Christ as outlined in Romans 8:35–39 NKJV, assuring us that no trial, power, or circumstance can separate us from His love once we choose the narrow path.

At today’s Holy Communion Service, our Senior Pastor, Pastor Femi Paul, shared this impactful exhortation titled “Kingdom Mastery Called: Recognition of Opportunities.” He outlined the three essential components of Kingdom mastery: Wisdom, Insight, and the Recognition of Opportunities. Recognition, he explained, is the ability to perceive and discern what others overlook, enabling us to seize God‑sent moments.

Citing Acts 28:26 (NKJV) -  “Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you will see, and not perceive!” Pastor Femi emphasised that perception precedes recognition. The capacity to recognise opportunities will make you, while failure to recognise them can break you. As we partook of the Communion, we prayed for sharpened discernment so that we never miss the doors God opens before us.
