God Calls You For Purpose

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 Historical Cycle of Unbelief

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff's sermon provides a comprehensive analysis of the Book of Judges, weaving historical biblical narratives with contemporary social issues to illustrate the necessity of unwavering devotion to God. Apostle Conliff establishes the sermon’s foundation by examining Israel’s transition after the death of Joshua. She highlights a recurring spiritual pattern: God provides a miracle or victory, the people rejoice, but then they quickly regress into worldliness and sin once "things are well". She warns that Jesus must not be viewed merely as a "great physician" to be visited only during a crisis, but as a constant Savior, Provider, and Protector. A central theme is God's ability to use anyone, regardless of their background or perceived limitations. Apostle Conliff reviews the era of the judges, noting that: * Jephthah, though born to a prostitute and discarded by his family, was chosen by God as a leader. However, his story also serves as a warning against "rash decisions" and impulsive vows. * Deborah exemplifies divine authority; Apostle Conliff uses her successful 40-year reign to defend the modern role of women in ministry, arguing that if God used a woman to judge Israel in the Old Testament, He will certainly use them in the New. * Ehud demonstrated that God can turn a perceived "disadvantage", such as being left-handed, into a strategic victory for His people. * Samson represents the tragic danger of having supernatural power without the "common sense" to guard one’s heart against destructive relationships. Apostle Conliff delivers a stern warning regarding "unholy alliances." Because Israel failed to obey God’s command to drive out pagan inhabitants and destroy their altars, God allowed those nations to remain as "thorns in their side" and "snares". She applies this to the modern believer, asserting that refusing to separate from sinful environments or relationships leads to "bitter distress" and personal demise. A critical point of the sermon is the failure of the generation that arose after Joshua. Apostle Conliff attributes their lack of faith to parents who failed to "enforce the laws of God" in their own homes, leaving children vulnerable to pagan influences. She challenges the current generation to "lead by example" to prevent children from falling into "evil in the sight of the Lord". Drawing from the concept of divine authority, Conliff emphasizes that spiritual power requires "self-crucifixion", a total removal of ego so that God receives all glory. She rebukes "Christian bullying" and calls for a "glad spirit" in worship. True transformation comes when believers move beyond religious formality to develop a genuine "passion for the word". Reflecting on local crime in Trinidad and natural disasters abroad, Apostle Conliff stresses that "time is far spent". She implores the congregation to seek the Kingdom of God first, ensuring they do not "play with the mercies of God" but instead live as a people who "grow and glow" in His truth. The ultimate goal of her message is to move the church from a cycle of "rising and falling" to a state of sustained, obedient victory. Rec. Date: October 10th, 2024.

"Where Is My Honour ?"

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a pointed message centered on the Book of Malachi, focusing on the themes of divine honor, the quality of sacrifice, and the necessity of love. Building on the concept of divine authority from our conversation history, she emphasizes that true spiritual power is inseparable from a heart of humility and excellence. Apostle Conliff begins by asserting that all spiritual gifts work through love; without it, the gifts are ineffective. She describes love as a "gift" received through Jesus that enables believers to pray for and bless others without issue. She challenges the congregation to love their neighbors as themselves, noting that "loving people is not hard" if one’s mindset is correct. The core of the sermon addresses God's grievance through the prophet Malachi: "Where is my honor?". Apostle Conliff highlights the historical context of Malachi as the final prophetic voice before 400 years of silence, emphasizing that God was displeased with the people's lack of reverence. The Apostle applies this ancient rebuke to modern worshippers, warning against offering "polluted" or "worthless" sacrifices. Key points include: * The Best for God: Believers should not give God "leftovers" - whether in time, talent, or treasure. * Physical Offerings: Apostle Conliff specifically rebukes the practice of giving crumpled or "old" money while keeping "new money" for oneself, arguing that the quality of the presentation reflects the heart's respect for God’s altar. * Purity of Service: She insists that everything brought to the altar, from food for first fruits to musical talents, must meet a standard of excellence, as God considers defective offerings "evil". Drawing on her role as a leader, Apostle Conliff explains that she meticulously oversees what is placed on the altar because she must give an account to God. She acknowledges that her strictness might offend some, but she maintains these standards to ensure the congregation fulfills its "purpose and destiny". She asserts her divine authorization to pronounce blessings and warns that she will not pray for situations resulting from intentional disobedience, such as "maintenance money" for children born out of wedlock. The sermon concludes with a sobering analysis of the curses resulting from disrespect. Apostle Conliff explains that when a believer "vexes God" with a poor sacrifice, God may: * Rebuke the Seed: This results in a "delayed" or prevented harvest in the believer's life. * Curse Blessings: God can turn a position of favor into one of lack. * Public Shame: Citing Malachi, she warns that God may "splatter your face with dung" (the remains of defective sacrifices), metaphorically representing the rejection and disgrace of hypocritical worship. Finally, she reminds the congregation that they are the temple of the Holy Spirit. She warns that watching "killing games," "vampire shows," or "porn" defiles this temple, making it impossible to receive a "good word" or maintain the "cleanliness" required for God's presence. The ultimate goal of the message is to encourage wise living and a return to "genuine" prophecy and worship. Rec. Date: October 3rd, 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
