A NEW MAN IN CHRIST

25th Feb. 2018
Sermon by Pst.Valentine Uhonbam
Text: 1 thess5:23, Heb 4:12, Rom3:22-26

Nature before the fall. 
  Man was and is a spirit that has a soul that lives in the body. The spirit was in control over the body and soul. After the fall the order became distorted.(Gen.3:6)
   In the Old Testament, the sins of the people were not covered and  cleansed. The spirit couldn't exactly dwell in the people. This system could not make them perfect. (Heb.10:1-4)
  Righteousness is the very nature of God (2 Cor.5:17-21). 
"Righteousness is the divine principle that makes deity"
It is the divine principle that makes you stand before God without a sense of guilt and stand before the devil with a sense of superiority.
There is no level in righteousness but there are levels of grace.
Righteousness is not right living,  it produces right living.
  Justification does not mean to be pardoned but it is a legal action whereby man's action before God was changed.
In the Old Testament, the sheep always died for the Shepard but in the New Testament it was changed.        The devil will make you think that you are not who you are and make you fight for what u already have.

Notice: There will be 'monthly prayer meeting ' on Saturday, 31st Feb. 2018
Let us endeavour to be there and bring a friend!
Remain blessed.

Date : 22/07/2018 Venue : Unimed chapel Preacher  : Ohonbamu Valentine Topic  : Love and unity in Christ Text:   2 John 1vs1-6            Nowadays many christians struggle to follow the instructions Jesus made known to us as major pillar of our christanity and walk with God. The reason is because people don't really love God. Many Christians practise religion and don't live by it.       Christianity is the way of life so we live by it not practise it. If you do not  spend time with God, you cannot love him superficially. The commandment God gave us is love your neighbour as yourself.  Your love for God will make you do what your flesh is not willing to do. The love for God will make us do things he wants us to do.  For you to love him,you must know him by:    •Spending more time in fellowship with God.     • Obeying his commandments.      •Reading the Bible   ...

UCCF Holiday Diaries 2

Hello people of GOD. So I made the lon g trip from Festac (Lagos) to Ondo first thing on Thursday and that marked the end of a very short stint at home. Back to the beautiful place that is called NIEPA...and Mama Ifaka’s bread , and Porter  Gbenga  and his bullets (Please don’t ever tell him I typed this. Let this be our little secret….winks….)  I can’t say I achieved much other than eating lots of chicken and beef. You begin to wonder why GOD didn’t make eating meat a way to edify “the hidden man of our hearts”. Just think about it for a second. We would have run Satan out of business by now. Instead of praying in tongues why can’t I just eat meat???Atherosclerosis  answers my spirit.  Sad. And now I know my dream of eating meat to edification can never come to reality, one thing I  still  know that can come to pass is seeing you all fulfilling destiny.  We talked about having definite plans and structures for how our holiday pans out with Jes...
