Description

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams teaches that stepping into a new month is a spiritual moment: earth should “inquire of heaven” and believers should ask, “Holy Spirit, what are You saying about this month?” Drawing from Psalm 19:1–4 and Romans 8:14, he calls the church to live as Spirit-led people, interpreting what happens in life through God’s perspective rather than noise, confusion, or fear. He emphasises that spiritual growth and the word-of-knowledge lifestyle begin with a posture of hunger—turning your heart to understand, as Daniel did (Daniel 9), and building your life on Scripture, not guesswork or emotions. Apostle then anchors the key instruction for May: “Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts” (1 Corinthians 14:1). He explains that what God has prepared for those who love Him is revealed by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:9–10), because the Spirit searches the deep things of God and knows His thoughts (1 Corinthians 2:10–11). Therefore, believers can understand what God has freely given them—wisdom, direction, peace, provision, and insight—through the Spirit who lives within them (1 Corinthians 2:12). He closes by linking May’s theme to transformation “from glory to glory” by the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18) and reminding the church that angels are ministering spirits sent to serve those who inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14)—so fear has no place in the believer’s life.

Clean Hands, Pure Heart & Prophesying

In this sermon we learn that revelation and authority flow from a life aligned with God’s Word. Drawing from Psalm 51, Psalm 24 and John 1:1, Apostle reminds believers that Scripture is not for recitation alone, but a spiritual weapon when spoken from a clean heart, pure hands and genuine relationship with God. He challenges the church to examine motives, reject pride and argument, and pursue the kind of holiness that allows believers to ascend “the hill of the Lord” and speak with heaven’s authority. Apostle then turns to Revelation 4 and Ezekiel 37, showing that God still opens the eyes of His people and brings them into the realm of revelation. Through Ezekiel’s encounter with the valley of dry bones, he teaches that no situation is beyond the power of God—but believers must speak as commanded, call the condition by name, and prophesy the Word of the Lord over it. This sermon is a call to clean living, spiritual boldness and prophetic obedience: rise above fear, speak God’s Word from your spirit, and watch heaven breathe life into what looked impossible.

Revelation, Vision & the Call to Seek God

Apostle Alfred Williams continues teaching on the Month of Revelation, urging believers to focus on Jesus and not be distracted by fear-driven messages about the Antichrist. Focussing on Daniel chapter 10, he explains that revelation and vision are distinct but connected: revelation may show what God is saying, while vision can bring the understanding. Like Daniel, believers must learn to seek God through prayer, fasting, humility and spiritual seriousness until divine insight is released. We then turn to John the Revelator, showing how John’s suffering, endurance and devotion positioned him to receive the Revelation of Jesus Christ while on the island of Patmos (Revelation 1:9; 4:1–2). Apostle reminds the church that revelation is given by the Holy Spirit, and that believers can receive spiritual gifts through prophetic impartation, the laying on of hands, and earnest prayer (1 Corinthians 12:11; Acts 8:14–17; Luke 11:9–13).

The Month of Revelation

Apostle welcomes the church into July 2026 as the Month of Revelation, reminding believers that revelation is not reserved for a select few, but is the right of every child of God. Referencing Revelation 1:1–3, he explains that God gave revelation to Jesus Christ to show His servants what must take place, and that the Holy Spirit makes known what belongs to Christ (John 16:12–15). The call is clear: believers must not live blind, confused or unaware, because the same Spirit who worked through Jesus now lives in those who are born again. Apostle then teaches that revelation opens when believers worship sincerely, pray deeply, seek God wholeheartedly and respond seriously to Gpd's Word. Referencing John 5:19, Luke 4, Revelation 4:1–2 and Daniel 10, he shows how Jesus saw what the Father was doing, John was caught up into heavenly revelation, and Daniel received understanding through fasting, prayer and humility. This sermon is a call to spiritual hunger: stop treating revelation as distant or mysterious, and begin to seek God until your eyes are opened—because in this season, heaven is ready to show you what must take place, and the Holy Spirit is ready to guide you into all truth.

Men Who Change Their World: Lessons from Nehemiah (Men's Convention)

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams challenges believers—especially the men of Christ Faith Tabernacle—to reject distraction and embrace the call to greatness. Drawing from Nehemiah 6:3, he reminds us that every Christian has “a great work” to do, and that focus, courage and resilience are essential if we are to fulfil heaven’s mandate. Using the theme “The Men Who Change Their World”, he points to Jesus Christ as the greatest example of lasting impact, while also reflecting on Moses, Joshua and Nehemiah as men whose lives reveal both the power of obedience and the danger of losing focus. Apostle then anchors the message in Matthew 5:14–16, declaring that believers are the light of the world—a city on a hill that cannot be hidden. He teaches that when our motive is right, heaven backs us; when we stop asking “what can I get?” and begin asking “what can I give?”, our light begins to shine in our homes, workplaces, churches and nation. With Isaiah 60:1 and John 8:12, the sermon becomes a call to rise, shine, seek God wholeheartedly, and serve Him with willing devotion. Don’t be distracted, don’t hide your light, and don’t settle for less—because God has called you to stand out, build boldly, and become a man or woman who changes their world.
