Pst E.A Adeboye

Why Do We Come to the Convention?

  1. To Praise God: It's our highest calling and privilege to worship and glorify our Creator.
  2. To Fellowship Together: We gather as a community to share and strengthen our faith.
  3. To Pray in Agreement: Unified prayer brings powerful results.
  4. To Encourage One Another: As fellow pilgrims on a journey, we support each other to remain steadfast in our faith (Hebrews 10:23-25).

Attention Shift

In today's world, there's a significant shift from an eternity-focused mindset to one centred on earthly concerns. We need to pray daily to keep our hearts and minds focused on heaven. Some things in life are temporary, but others last forever.

As Pure As Light

Key Scriptures: James 1:17, John 9:5, John 14:30, Matthew 5:14, Ephesians 5:27, Revelation 19:5-6, Genesis 9:19-27, Deuteronomy 23:3

Our Perfect Father

We have a Father in Heaven who is not just any Father, but one of perfect, pure light! We are His children, children of Light. Our Father is perfect in all His works, ways, and laws (2 Samuel 22:1). When He heals, He heals perfectly. When He delivers, He delivers perfectly. When He loves, He loves perfectly. When He shows mercy, He does so perfectly.

For a God who is perfect, He expects no less from us. Whatever you do for Him, do it perfectly (Revelation 3:14-15).

Children of Light

As children of God, we ought to be as pure as light. The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 2:19 that we are known by God, and we should depart from iniquity.

The Power of Jesus' Blood

The Blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. If we cooperate with the Holy Spirit, we can live a life free of sin, fully committed to purity and holiness.

Practical Steps

  • Prayer and Fasting: Strengthen your spirit through regular prayer and fasting.
  • Community Support: Engage with your faith community for encouragement and accountability.
  • Scripture Reading: Regularly read and meditate on the Bible to renew your mind and spirit.
