 GO BEYOND

The book of Ephesians is a letter that Paul wrote. The letter lists down several blessing that we as His people enjoy. And there is a reason why he blesses us - it is to go beyond our current circumstances. God will never bless you to settle down. This year we as a church will go beyond.

Here is a list of blessing that God has bestowed upon us as per the Book of Ephesians

  • Every Spiritual Blessing (1:3)
  • Chosen as sons before the foundation of world (1:5)
  • Redemption (1:7)
  • Forgiveness of our trespasses
  • Blessed us with the Gospel of Salvatioin
  • Blessed with the Holy Spirit
  • Paul constantly used "in Christ" througth out Ephesians 85 times. 
  • We were dead and so we were to be born again
  • We walked according to the flesh
  • Made us alive in Christ Jesus
  • created in Christ Jesus for good works
  • part of the body of Christ


Good leaders looks beyond the needs of today.

Marriage is godly. The blessing of marriage

Vision takes you beyond

Be willing to look beyond the worst things people have done - The power of forgiveness 

Look beyond the boundaries that people have set up.

All the blessing are a springboard to go beyond. Activate your partnership in the community of God's people. Dare to pray amazing prayer.

Financial Awareness Day 2025

Financial Awareness Day 2025 Financial Awareness Day, observed annually on August 14th. Financial awareness is important because we navigate through life using money/finance as one of the tools. As part of the awareness, there is one practice, we all need to stay clear off - Financial Impropriety. The term Financial Impropriety encompasses a range of unethical behaviour related to handling money. And this was the first sin of the church and is something that is most overlooked. We see this story in Acts 5  Ananias and Sapphira The story of Ananias and Sapphira is told and interpreted where the couple paid for their lies (related to money). While this is true, most people don't investigate why this came about. This didn't originate with this couple. The church violated a principle, which is the root of this problem But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing (Matthew 6:3) The church decided acknowledge Barnabas' contribution ...

Happy Men's Day!

Happy Men's Day! Celebrating people is important because it builds community, strengthens relationships, and creates a culture of gratitude and appreciation. We all celebrate Women's Day. However, men often are not excited about any kind of celebration meant for them. That is because we are already having such a good time.... and every day!!! We don't need a special day. Here are some examples Men can call upon higher powers to validate their claims.  With Christ as my witness, I speak with utter truthfulness. My conscience and the Holy Spirit confirm it."  (Romans 9:1) This is very helpful in situations where our plans fail. So we compare our word, to unwavering Word of Jesus himself 18 As surely as God is faithful, our word to you does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” 19 For Jesus Christ, the Son of God, does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” He is the one whom Silas, Timothy, and I preached to you, and as God’s ultimate “Yes,” he always does what he says.  (1 Corin...

Kill the Babies!!!

Morality Standards A picture is painted of a potter fashioning clay to his liking. And this animated picture brings life to the clay, with the clay protesting the Potters's design. This surprised Potter asks "Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?" Jeremiah 18:5 NIV It seems completely reasonable and moral that the Potter is allowed to shape the clay to his design and liking. Conversely it is unreasonable and immoral for the clay to protest the Potter's design.   "You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!" Isaiah 29:16 NIV And yet, we continue in our unreasonability and turn things upside down. Why does mere clay (or humankind), protest the Potter (or God) on morality. There is no rational position we can take, that justifies our objections. And it is funny that our objections always start with  "If there were a God, He would not have ordered.... Destruction of all living things in the land of Cannan ...
