Descripción

In this episode of the junior's brethren meeting, our Pastor introduced a series on the origin and nature of love, establishing that love is not a human idea but a divine reality proceeding from the Godhead. He emphasized that because God is love, any definition of love independent of Him is false, and we must return to the origin to understand its true essence. We began by distinguishing love from mere emotions, feelings, or biological instincts. It was established that love is a commandment and a law; the very code by which the Godhead operates. Using John 13:34, we saw that Jesus is the only accurate standard for love, and we must be taught how to love by Him because this nature does not exist in us naturally. In addition, we explored the covenantal and binding power of love. Through the example of David and Jonathan, we saw how love “knits” souls together, mirroring the inseparable oneness of the Father, Word, and Holy Ghost. This love is active and forceful, described in Song of Solomon as a fire that many waters cannot quench and a nature that finds its primary expression in giving. Furthermore, we learned that love cannot be self-generated but must be shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, as seen in Romans 5:5. Without the Holy Spirit, man only possesses natural instincts, but through the Spirit, we receive the capacity to walk in the very nature of God. Ultimately, we saw that love is a substance meant to be cultivated and fanned into flame. According to Philippians 1:9, our love must abound more and more in knowledge and judgment. The teaching concluded by emphasizing that love grows as we learn the heart of Jesus, setting the stage for understanding the wisdom required to dispense the different manners of love.

(2026_07_11) - The Work of the Holy Ghost in the Life of a Believer - High School & Freshmen BM - Pastor Greatness Olaitan

In this episode of the High School & Freshmen Brethren Meeting, we examined the work of the Holy Ghost in the life of the believer. It was established that the Holy Ghost makes the spirit of man a new creature at new birth, initiating the work of preservation for man. However, the soul still has old things. Without gaining the right understanding, the soul of a believers is limited in how deeply they can relate to God. The baptism of the Holy Ghost, makes it easy for us to receive the understanding that would raise our soul to a point where it is new like our spirit. This baptism is distinct from water baptism, which involves the physical body. The baptism of the Holy Ghost involves Him coming upon the soul of the believer. The evidence of this experience is speaking in new tongues, which is the language of the new creature. Additionally, we saw that speaking in new tongues does not mean speaking the language of another country. Rather, it is a divinely-inspired utterance in an unknown language. Speaking in tongues remains vital because it builds a hunger within believers for a different way of thinking. If our thinking patterns do not change, our souls cannot be preserved.

(2026_07_08) - The Foundational Principles of How to Receive and use Faith - Pastor Israel Ajiboye

In this episode, we examined the subject of faith. Without faith, it is impossible for a believer to please God (Hebrews 11:6). God cannot be blamed if a believer lacks faith because He has already provided the means by which faith can be obtained. Therefore, it is the believer's responsibility to seek out that means and develop faith. According to Romans 10:17, "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." For our requests to be answered by God, we must have faith. Even the new birth is received through faith (Ephesians 2:8). There is power in words. Faith comes as we are preached to and as we continually hear the Word of God. We cannot develop faith if we neglect hearing. Faith is not dormant; it can be perceived (Acts 14:9). It is often evident in the conversations of believers who have faith. Words and expressions such as "but," "what if," and "maybe" do not dominate their speech because their hope is firmly established on the Word of God. To walk in faith, we must believe in our hearts even when our physical senses suggest otherwise (2 Corinthians 5:7). Faith in the heart brings our hopes into the realm of reality. As believers, we should continually give ourselves to hearing the Word so that faith can be developed in our hearts. We must also learn to rest in God's Word regardless of what natural circumstances or physical evidence may suggest.
