SPEAKER: APOSTLE (DR.). A. A. AKAJIAKU jp
THEME: CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE
TEXT: PS. 1:1-2
REF: 1 Tim. 3:4, 1 Cor. 3:11

NOTE

The speaker began the ministration with a brief opening prayer which got the expectant congregants excited to recieve the Word of God. In an admonition to the celebrated couples and as a message to intending couples and ongoing marriages, the speaker briefly pointed out the basis and standards of a Christian marriage which eventually births a Christian home.

A Christian marriage has the man as the head of the family as Christ is the head of the Church and by this, he is entitled to the respect, submissions and regards from the wife towards building a peaceful home.

Love cannot be excluded in a Christian home and this first begins with the love for God. Couples can only love themselves better if they first love God and strive to raise their children to love the Lord.

Fruitfulness is an embodiment of a Christian home as it is never the will of God that his children should be barren. However, upon the reception of children from the Lord, it is the role of the parents to ensure that these children are properly raised and without they themselves being allowed to be controlled by the desires of their children.

Jesus came from a home of two married people, Joseph and Mary whose upbringings and childcare accorded to him by this couple cannot be overlooked, thus, he mandates every home to strive above all odds to raise godly children.

Conclusively, marriage is not new; marriage is almost as old as the creation of man of Man and God Himself had established the institution of marriage and He had likewise commanded this institution to be fruitful and to multiply. With this, marriage is part of the will of God.

APOSTOLIC DECLARATION

👉 The marriages of the Children of God shall ever remain fruitful and shall keep flourishing and multiplying in JESUS Name, AMEN

HAPPY MARRIED LIFE TO DEACON GARA AND SISTER AMAKA

THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH NIGERIA, ABAKALIKI AREA HEADQUARTERS | SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE | SUN. 11TH SEPT. 2022

SPEAKER: Apostle (Dr.) A. A. Akajiaku
THEME: Don’t Cast Stones!
TEXTS: Jn. 8:1-11
REF(S): Lev. 20:11, Deut. 22:22, Exo. 31:18, Lk. 19:10, Matt. 5:27-28

NOTE

The speaker began the ministration at about 10:22AM with an opening prayer and with the recitation of the fundamental teachings of the church. In a brief introductory exposition of the topic “Don’t Cast Stones!” the speaker admonished the congregants to be serious and fervent in their services and relationship with God in earnest anticipation of the coming of Christ Jesus.

Considering the biblical story of the adulterous woman who was brought before Christ Jesus, the speaker pointed out that righteous living unto God’s pleasure is far more important than all titles or positions acquired by anyone in the church today.

Relatively, the Pharisees had brought the adulterous woman before Christ Jesus, both with the intention of accusing her and with more intention to tempt Jesus using the contents of the Mosaic Law (Lev. 20:11, Deut. 22:22).

Obviously, the accusers had come before Jesus with the full intention of casting stones at the adulterous woman and not until Jesus had scribbled on the floor, declaring unto anyone who was without an iota of sin to cast on the stone, this which rather led to their departure.

Going on to speak on this, the speaker vividly portrayed that Jesus came into the world to save and to deliver everyone who trusts in Him, declaring that He is able to deliver us from every accusations leveled against us.

Speaking against a sinful lifestyle that makes a Christian vulnerable to the accusations of the devil, the speaker portrayed that the Lord expects everyone to be fruitful as opposed to the Fig tree (Matt. 21:19) that earned for itself, a curse from Jesus owing to its unfruitfulness.
God expects thorough repentance from everyone as membership in the church is not the criteria for the candidacy of heaven.

The speaker charged the congregants to sanctify themselves and desert from every appearance of ungodliness portraying that offending God can occur in such ways as through the thoughts of the hearts, the sights of the eyes and the activities of the body;

Thus, the speaker concluded that it is expected of every Christian to desist from judging others, casting stones at others mistakes and to look towards their own victory over sin as no one with the identity of sin shall be allowed entrance into the kingdom of Heaven.
