“The friendships we share, the connectedness to one another, the inner feelings of oneness and love that we have…these are invaluable assets that make our home churches such a sweet and pleasant family.”  ~  Pastor WD Favour

Experience the joy and ecstasy of our home church fellowships…

“A light snack awaited everyone on their arrival. ‘Nice one,’ a member thrilled.

We were glad to see each other and this was evidenced by the warm greetings during our snack time. We then ushered in the presence of the Lord and said a short prayer.

Our interactive study was on, ‘Consecration to God,’ and our text was from Proverbs 18:1. An avalanche of perspectives on the subject came to the fore, such as: extremity, focus, sacrifice, yielding, submission, being set apart, dying to all but one.
What a day!
In totality, a member postulated, ‘Consecration to God is allowing God to possess you.’

We transcended the present state of our minds and the power of thought during this session. It was a timeless experience.

We gave our offerings and then practiced for our presentation which is a mimic on ‘Blaze.’ Its a top-notch performance and will certainly edify the Church.

I personally prayed for everyone and their families and told them to be expectant as the Lord ushers new and pleasant realities into their lives.

Next week we’ll discuss, ‘Prayer as a key.’

Be expectant too and watchful.

Remain blessed.”

“Wednesday is fast becoming my favorite day of the week.
There was a general air of excitement as we all gathered, conversing and interacting with one another. We then said a prayer to usher in the Holy Spirit.

Our interactive bible study was on the topic, ‘Be fruitful and multiply’. Our texts were taken from Genesis 1:28; John 15:8; Luke 19:12-26. It was quite interesting as everyone tried to contribute. Comments included:
‘To be fruitful means to produce the desired results…’
‘Fruitfulness is God’s love language as illustrated in His first command to Adam and Eve…’
‘God expects us to multiply the gifts, opportunities, and talents He sends our way…’

It was a great time of bonding as we all put heads together to come up with a great presentation for our Sunday Family Gathering.

One of us, a nurse in training, passed her clinical exams; so we celebrated with her over drinks and snacks.

Next week we will be looking at ‘Be Fruitful And Multiply – Part 2.’

Have a nice weekend!”

“Our meeting began in an atmosphere of worship with a soft gospel music playing at the background as we welcomed each other. When most of the members had arrived, we began with worship songs to get our minds fixed on the lord. This was followed by intercessory prayers, after which we entered the interactive bible study segment.

Our topic of discussion this week was on “ Building a Strong Relationship with People.” Texts were taken from Deuteronomy 7:3-4, 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, and 1 John 2:15. 

Questions were asked on how to manage relationships that were going through crisis; answers given include, ‘Define what you stand for, what you can tolerate and what you cannot tolerate,’ and ‘Build your relationships on the word of God, and not on human sentiments and feelings.’ We also shared our individual experiences on relationship matters.

Afterwards we had our group picture, took our offerings, rehearsed for our Sunday presentations, and ended with light refreshments.

Next week’s topic is ‘Perfect Focus’”
