Reverential Fear gives Supernatural Prosperity

Reverential Fear gives Supernatural Prosperity

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff’s sermon serves as a spiritual "reset" for the year’s end, emphasizing the bridge between reverential fear and supernatural prosperity. Drawing from Numbers 13 and Deuteronomy 28, she outlines a life governed by divine order rather than human negotiation. Apostle Conliff argues that many talk to God but few truly fear Him. She defines true fear as a refusal to negotiate one’s lifestyle, particularly regarding gossip or sexual immorality. She upholds a high standard of integrity and holiness, noting her refusal to baptize those in "common law" relationships because God’s blessings require a testimony of obedience. For Apostle Allison, staying "straightforward" in righteousness prevents Satan from "pointing fingers" at the church through the compromised lives of its members. Using the biblical spies as a warning, she rebukes the tendency to bring "evil reports" into the home or church. She challenges the "grasshopper" mentality, seeing oneself as tiny compared to giants, and insists believers see themselves through God’s eyes. She provides a radical definition of faith: believing a house is yours even with only "$5 in the bank" if God has spoken it. This echoes her previous teachings on divine authority, where human logic is secondary to God's final word. Central to the message is the conditional nature of God's promises in Deuteronomy 28. Apostle Conliff highlights that blessings are not automatic; they "overtake" those who "harken diligently" and are "watchful to do all His commandments". She warns that many want the "blessing" without the "serving," but true victory requires a lifestyle that does not "mess up" through compromise. The sermon climaxes with the opening of "heaven's good treasury". Apostle Conliff declares that heaven has no lack and that God's treasury is open to those who obey, transforming them from borrowers to lenders. She encourages the congregation to claim their status as the "head and not the tail" and to speak blessings over their city, field, and business to cancel the "voice of wickedness" and satanic declarations. Amidst spiritual promises, Apostle Allison provides sober, practical warnings. She cites local violence, specifically a contractor killed for his money after a bank withdrawal, to emphasize the need for spiritual alertness. She urges believers to listen for the Holy Spirit’s guidance (e.g., "don't go to the mall today") to avoid the traps set by "Satan and his imps". The analysis concludes with the stark reality of the "then" in Deuteronomy 28:15. While God is merciful, the same mouth that pronounces blessings also warns that turning back to "former gods" or disobedience transforms those blessings into curses. Her ultimate call is for the church to remain "real" and accept God's word as the final authority in every area of life to move mountains. Rec. Date: December 19th, 2024

The Greatness of the Childlike Mindset

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff provides a rigorous analysis of Matthew 18, challenging the congregation to move beyond religious formality into a life of genuine discipleship, radical purity, and childlike humility. The sermon centers on the disciples’ inquiry regarding who is the "greatest" in the kingdom of heaven. Apostle Conliff explains that Jesus’ response, placing a child in their midst, was a strategic illustration of the necessity of repentance and heart transformation. She defines this "childlike" state not as immaturity, but as being "trusting, lowly, loving, and forgiving". She contrasts this with "big people" who often fail to recognize the pain they cause others, asserting that one cannot enter the kingdom without returning to this state of innocent trust. Building on themes from our conversation history regarding divine authority, Conliff reiterates that "the glory belongs to Jesus" and God shares it with no man. She warns that seeking personal exaltation is a "dead man's" path, citing King Saul as a biblical warning. She points to historical figures like Reinhard Bonnke and RW Shambach as models of those who "took no glory" despite witnessing miracles like the raising of the dead, emphasizing that a clean and pure lifestyle is the prerequisite for such anointing. Apostle Conliff provides a sobering interpretation of Jesus' command to "cut off" hands or feet that cause sin. She clarifies that this is not a call for literal mutilation but for a drastic "reset" of the mindset. To "cut it out" means to stop "foolishness," abandon "unholy alliances," and "disrespect sin" by walking away from it entirely. She specifically addresses: * Secret Sins: Warning that "secret sins will destroy you" and that God often exposes them through the spirit or witnesses to save the individual's future. * Sexual Purity: Rebuking "mingling" before the "ring" and insisting on "no wedding, no bedding" to maintain holiness. * Integrity: Using the example of a blocked bank account, she suggests that God sometimes intervenes in physical circumstances to prevent a believer from falling into mischief. A major emphasis is placed on the believer’s responsibility as an example. Apostle Conliff argues that because children and new converts "mimic" leaders, a leader’s failure can "crush" the faith of others. She highlights Jesus’ "terrible" warning: that it is better to be drowned with a millstone than to cause a "little one" to lose faith through one’s lifestyle or temptations. The Apostle introduces the concept of storing treasures in heaven through faithful service, tithes, and sacrifice. She teaches that when a disciple "follows" God’s "straight and narrow" path, they build a spiritual reserve. When "satanic invasion" or illness strikes, a believer who has "stored up" can make a "withdrawal" from heaven for deliverance, whereas those who have not followed God's instructions find themselves unable to withdraw in times of crisis. Finally, Apostle Conliff warns against a dependency on the preacher rather than God. Using the example of an unsaved woman seeking a "word" on a medical procedure, she asserts that a prophet’s word cannot override a lack of personal faith. She insists that every believer must have their own "childlike faith", the kind that expects a "truck for Christmas" even when the parents have no money, because God responds to the heart’s trust, not just the preacher’s decree.

Preparation Precedes Blessings

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a profound message on consecration, spiritual positioning, and the supernatural power of God. Drawing primarily from 2 Kings 3, she explores how divine intervention often requires human preparation and a heart of total surrender. Apostle Conliff defines consecration as being "set apart" for Christ rather than merely being "program oriented". She challenges believers to move beyond religious formality to live a life on the "Jesus beat". A central theme is that true service to God inherently leads to moral and civic integrity; those who serve God "in spirit and in truth" will naturally uphold the laws of the land. This integrity extends to financial matters, as she notes that the water supply for the three kings in the biblical narrative was cut because the Moabites stopped paying taxes, reminding the congregation to fulfill their obligations to avoid spiritual and physical lack. A major point of the sermon is that "preparation precedes the blessing". Using the miracle of the trenches in 2 Kings 3, she argues that if the wells weren't dug, the water would not have arrived. Believers must be "in position" to receive their change, acknowledging that while humans may fail or fall short, God’s power makes the impossible possible when one says "yes" to Him. Apostle Allison makes a distinction between human forgiveness and divine restoration. While humans may forgive but maintain distance, God "restores us to original communication". This restoration often requires a "reset" of one's life in the hand of God, similar to resetting a malfunctioning electronic device. Apostle Conliff uses her own journey as evidence of God’s power. Despite others discrediting or casting her away, God was "consecrating a village girl" for His purpose, turning "nothing into something". She emphasizes that a situation is not finished until Jehovah says it is finished, encouraging those who feel discarded to trust in God's ability to make "the finest of the fine" out of them. The Apostle rebukes the "lone ranger" mentality, asserting that heaven was not designed for individuals alone but for a body that works together. She introduces the concept of "tough love," explaining that just as flour must undergo the pressure of rolling and the heat of a "tawa" (plateau) to become a quality roti, God "presses" and "shapes" believers to bring out their best quality. The sermon’s climax focuses on supernatural breakthrough. By calling for a minstrel, the prophet Elisha invited the hand of God, which produced water in a dry brook without the visible signs of wind or rain. This signifies that when God provides, He does so with excellence and no lack, often in ways that defy natural logic. She encourages the congregation to trust that God can rescue them from "drought" and "devastation" if they remain humble and obedient to His word. Rec. Date: October 24th, 2024

God Calls You For Purpose

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a profound analysis of spiritual legacy, growth, and reformation through the biblical narratives of King Manasseh and King Josiah. The message serves as a call to believers of all ages to reject the "evil" of their environment and embrace a radical, personal relationship with God. Apostle Conliff establishes that age is no barrier to divine service, noting that God called Moses at 80 and Josiah at 8. However, she emphasizes that a calling must be accompanied by visible spiritual growth. Using children of various ages as a physical metaphor, she argues that just as a child must develop in height and ability, a believer must show a "definite shift" in the realm of the spirit. She asserts that if a person has been "feeding" for years without development, it indicates a spiritual malfunction. A central portion of the sermon examines the "much evil" of King Manasseh, who reversed the godly reforms of his father, Hezekiah. Apostle Conliff details the gravity of his sins: * Desecrating the Temple: Manasseh built heathen altars within the house of God. * Human Sacrifice: He burned his own children as offerings, a practice Conliff warns still manifests today through demonic "sacrifices" in modern society. * Provoking Divine Anger: By dealing with mediums and wizards, he provoked God to anger, eventually leading to his capture and affliction by the Assyrians. The sermon highlights King Josiah as the ultimate model of reformation. Despite being born into an "evil kingdom" of idolatry, Josiah chose to seek the "God of his forefather David" rather than following the wicked examples of his father and grandfather. Apostle Conliff identifies this as a "relationship" rather than a "ritual". At age 16, Josiah began a radical purge of Judah, physically destroying idols and "burning the bones" of idolatrous priests to cleanse the land. Apostle Conliff describes him as a "dread youth" who refused to let anyone embarrass or compromise his God. Building on the concept of divine authority from previous teachings, Apostle Conliff reminds the congregation that "God shares His glory with no one". To maintain this authority, believers must: * Feed Themselves: She uses the "umbilical cord" analogy to explain that while a mother (the preacher) provides initial nutrients, a born-again believer must eventually get their "own supply of food" through personal Bible study. * Reject Unholy Alliances: She warns against being "unequally yoked," noting that she cannot pronounce a divine blessing on what God has already called cursed. * Practice Humility: She points to Manasseh’s restoration as proof that God responds to those who "humble themselves greatly," even after committing great mischief. The sermon concludes with a sober warning that "time is far spent". Apostle Allison implores the congregation to be "spiritually fit" and "on fire," moving away from a lukewarm existence. She challenges every "vessel" to fulfill their specific assignment, ensuring they are part of the "bride without spot or wrinkle" when the Lord returns. Rec. Date: October 17th, 2024

The God of Order

Apostle Allison Smith-Conliff teaches that God is a God of order, so spiritual life and ministry cannot be done casually. The Apostle begins by pointing to the strict detail required under the Law (even priestly items like the prayer shawl with specific colours and knots) to show that divine service is done by instruction, not impulse. When God gives an assignment, He also sets the standard for how it must be carried out, and our first responsibility is to “hearken” (listen and respond) to His voice.  The foundation of Ezekiel 3 [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel+3&version=KJV]is God telling Ezekiel to “eat the scroll.” The scroll represents the Word of God, and eating it means daily study until Scripture fills the inner person, mind, spirit, and conscience, so the messenger becomes what they proclaim. The Word is “sweet as honey”: it nourishes, steadies, and strengthens, even when the message itself may confront sin. The sermon makes it plain that believers cannot face temptation, discouragement, or demonic pressure on an empty spiritual stomach. If you want to stand firm and overcome, you must keep feeding on the Word so you can answer the enemy with Scripture (as Jesus did in the wilderness).  God then sends Ezekiel to Israel but warns him ahead of time that the people will not listen, because they already refuse to listen to God. This becomes a key leadership and discipleship principle: obedience is not measured by people’s response, but by whether God sent you. You may be sent to people you can relate to, yet still be resisted; you must go anyway. To prepare Ezekiel, God makes his face and forehead “hard” like flint, strong against intimidation and hostile looks, showing that God equips the one He commissions. From there, the Apostle applies the text to spiritual warfare and personal integrity. Authority cannot be borrowed; you cannot confront darkness by invoking “the Jesus” someone else preaches. Demons and opposition “smell” fear and weakness when a person lacks real authority, so each believer must know Jesus for themselves and move under God’s authorization, not under title, reputation, or personality. The sermon then turns to holiness, repentance, and witness. It warns believers not to return to the “first Adam” life of the flesh, but to crucify it and be fully immersed in Christ. Baptism is explained as immersion (not sprinkling): going under the water represents burying the old life and rising into a new identity, an outward testimony that inward repentance and cleansing have taken place. The preacher also urges the church to call back the backslider without condemning them, reminding them that God still calls people to return and be useful workers in His kingdom. Personal testimonies are used to underline that God’s preparation is practical: He can grant calm, wisdom, and strategy in moments of danger, preserve lives and purpose, and keep His people for His glory. The climax is Ezekiel’s appointment as a watchman. God places responsibility on His servants and intercessors to warn the wicked to turn and to caution the righteous who drift back into sin. The sermon challenges complacency by emphasizing that a righteous person can turn from righteousness into iniquity; therefore the watchman must speak God’s warning. If we refuse to warn, we share accountability; if we warn faithfully (even if rejected), we have obeyed God and “delivered” our own soul. The message closes with prayer for mercy, renewed prayer life, steadfastness under pressure, peace, and courage to fulfill one’s calling rather than run from it. Rec. Date: 26th September, 2024
