026| PATHWAYS TO WEALTH| FINANCE CONVENTION DAY1

Sermon Notes: PATHWAYS TO WEALTH Speaker: Rev. Dr.  Ebenezer Okronipa Occasion: Finance Convention Day 1 Key Scripture: “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth...” — Deuteronomy 8:18 I. The Spiritual Foundation of Wealth * The Power to Get Wealth: Wealth is not merely an accident; it is an ability given by God. If God gives you the "map" or the "key," it is because He intends for you to arrive at the destination of abundance. * Prosperity as a Spirit: Prosperity attracts those who carry a specific spiritual alignment and repels those who do not. Poverty can be a "stronghold" or a "lock" that keeps people in a cycle of bad decisions. * The Mentality of Wealth: Breaking the spirit of poverty is only the first step. One must also deal with the mentality and habits of poverty, or the spirit will return. II. The Prophetic and Strategic Connection * The Role of the Man of God: A spiritual leader carries the capacity to help "make many rich" (2 Corinthians 6:10). Spiritual encounters and prophetic instructions are often the "activators" for financial breakthroughs. * The Power of Instruction: Pastor Okronipa shares a testimony of a man who was instructed by a spirit to give 25% of his meager weekly income (5 out of 20 cedis). Despite initial frustration, consistent obedience to this "prophetic activator" eventually led to a massive increase in his finances. III. The Components of "True Wealth" (Haleel) True wealth is more than just "riches" (liquid cash); it is the Hebrew concept of "Kayil," which implies force, strength, and resources. 1. Faith in God: A covenant relationship with God through Jesus is the most vital denominator. 2. Strategic Relationships: Human capital is wealth. Having a "bucket" of connections—lawyers, doctors, accountants, and spiritual fathers—provides leverage. 3. Material Possessions: Desiring material growth (homes, land, technology) is a valid aspect of a wealthy life. 4. Experiences: Practical "wealth of experience" can open doors that formal education cannot. 5. Knowledge and Skills: Rich people trade knowledge for money. Learning a skill (plumbing, IT, content creation, even the "skill of prayer") creates opportunities where certificates might fail. IV. Practical Takeaways * Self-Presentation: How you carry yourself matters. Confidence and composure attract resources. * Thriving vs. Surviving: "Survival" is the mentality of the poor; "Thriving" is the mentality of the wealthy. * The Power of Negotiation: Mastery of negotiation ensures you are never paid less than you deserve. * Creating an Atmosphere: Generosity and intentionality create an atmosphere that attracts supply. Conclusion: The journey to wealth begins with a change of mind. God is releasing a "spiritual token" or "access" to open doors for those who are ready to move from glory to glory.

025| THE DOMINION MANDATE OF THE WOMAN| SUNDAY CELEBRATION SERVICE| WOMEN'S WEEK CELEBRATION

Sermon Notes: The Dominion Mandate Of The Woman Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28, Genesis 2:18, Proverbs 31. I. The Co-Equal Mandate * Genesis 1:27-28: God created man in His own image—male and female. He blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply... and have dominion." * Dominion is Gender-Neutral: The authority to rule over the earth was not given to the man alone. Women carry the same "Dominion DNA" and creative capacity as men. * Identity in Christ: A woman’s value is first found in her creation in the image of God, not her marital status or societal role. II. Redefining the "Helper" (Ezer) * The Hebrew Meaning of "Help Meet": The word Ezer used in Genesis 2:18 is the same word used to describe God as our "Helper" (Psalm 121:1-2). * Not a Subordinate, but a Strength: A helper is not someone who is less capable; rather, they are someone who possesses the specific strength or resources that are currently missing. * Strategic Partnership: The woman was created to bring completion and "surround" the man with wisdom, support, and spiritual insight to ensure the divine purpose is achieved. III. The Power of Influence and "Building" * The Architect of the Home: "The wise woman builds her house" (Proverbs 14:1). Rev. Okronipa stresses that a woman’s influence can either establish or dismantle a legacy. * Spiritual Intuition: Women are often gifted with a unique spiritual sensitivity and discernment that is vital for protecting the family and the church from the enemy’s tactics. * Maternal Dominion: Dominion is expressed through nurturing, teaching, and shaping the next generation of leaders. IV. Overcoming Cultural and Religious Limitations * Breaking the "Silence": The preacher addresses historical misinterpretations of scripture used to suppress women's voices, noting that in Christ, "there is neither male nor female" regarding spiritual inheritance (Galatians 3:28). * The Deborah Anointing: Just as Deborah was a judge, prophetess, and mother in Israel, modern women are called to lead in professional, spiritual, and social spheres. * Resisting Inferiority: A woman must refuse to see herself as "second-class." If God has called her to a task, He has authorized her to lead in it. V. Conclusion: Walking in Full Authority * Fruitfulness: Women are called to be productive in their careers, businesses, and ministries. * Multiplication: Taking what is small and making it great through the power of the Holy Spirit. * Subduing: Taking authority over chaos and bringing the order of the Kingdom of God into every environment they enter. Closing Prayer/Declaration: "I declare that I am a woman of dominion. I am not an afterthought; I am a divine necessity. I walk in the authority given to me by God to build, to fruitify, and to rule. I break every limitation off my life and step into my full mandate in Jesus' name. Amen."

024| THE PERCEPTION OF LOVE| TUESDAY TEACHING AND MIRACLE SERVICE

Sermon Notes: The Perception of Love Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa  Main Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 14:1, Galatians 5:6, Mark 11:23-25, 1 Peter 3:8-12. I. The Purpose of the Church * A Place for Healing: The church is meant for "offended" and "weak" people seeking God's help. Believers must be patient with one another's frailties. * The Problem of Offense: Satan uses offense as leverage to break down churches. Leaving a church due to a personal hurt is often a sign of spiritual immaturity and selfishness. * Spiritual Training: Being offended serves as a test to see how far your "love life" has actually developed. II. The Supernatural Power of Love (Agape) * Faith’s Engine: According to Galatians 5:6, faith is "activated, energized, and expressed" through love. Without love, faith for miracles or breakthroughs will eventually shut down. * Beyond Human Sentiment: While human love (Storge, Philia, Eros) is powerful, Agape is the "God-kind" of love that allows a believer to sacrifice for others and forgive even the deepest wrongs. * Miracles through Love: Love has the power to cast out demons and bring healing where standard spiritual warfare might struggle. III. The Doctrine and Discipline of Forgiveness * Unforgiveness as Poison: Holding onto a grudge is described as "drinking poison and expecting the other person to die". * Blocked Prayers: Mark 11:25 teaches that before you pray for a mountain to move, you must first forgive anyone you have something against. * No Conditional Forgiveness: Believers shouldn't wait for an apology to forgive. Forgiveness is a spiritual decision that reopens the door to God's favor. IV. Divine Protection and Long Life * The "Eyes of the Lord": 1 Peter 3 promises that those who seek peace, avoid evil speech, and walk in love will enjoy divine protection and "good days". * Escaping Satanic Traps: Walking in love keeps spiritual doors closed to the enemy. Bitterness often provides a foothold for demonic operations and physical sickness. V. Practical Application: How to Love * Tenderheartedness: Replace hard-heartedness and stubbornness with a soft, easily entreated spirit. * Courtesy and Respect: Love is evidenced in simple courtesy and how we treat those "below" us in social or spiritual status. * Protecting Others: Love seeks to protect and cover the reputations of others rather than exposing their mistakes. Closing Challenge: Identify someone who has treated you unfairly and make the decision to bless them and pray for their welfare, thereby aligning your heart with the nature of God.

023| THE PRACTICE OF LOVE: THE POWER FOR VICTORY| SUNDAY CELEBRATION SERVICE

Sermon Notes: The Practice of Love: The Power for Victory  Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa   Main Scripture Focus: Galatians 5:6, Mark 11:23-25, 1 Peter 3:8-12, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. I. Love: The Engine of Faith * The Activation of Power: Faith is not a standalone force; it is "activated, energized, and expressed" through love. * The Cause of Stagnation: If your confessions of Scripture are not producing results, check your love walk. Bitterness and unforgiveness act as spiritual blockades to miracles. * Maturity Over Gifting: The greatest measurement of spiritual growth is not the intensity of your tongues or the accuracy of a prophecy, but the depth of your love for others. II. The Danger of Offense and the "Gates of Hell" * The Trap of Offense: Satan often uses offense as leverage to fight against the church. When you decide to leave a church or stop serving because of an offense, you are falling into a demonic snare. * A "Hospital" Mindset: The church is not a place for perfect people; it is a place for the "sick, weak, and offended" looking for healing. We must accommodate each other's frailties. * Selfishness in Conflict: Most offenses in the body of Christ are rooted in self-centeredness—being more concerned with one's own feelings than the unity of the body. III. Love as Divine Protection * The Power of Forgiveness: Forgiveness is a spiritual decision, not an emotion. When you forgive, you close the doors that allow the enemy access to your life. * The Consequences of Bitterness: Bitterness can cause physical sickness and spiritual blindness, leading a person to "not know where they are going". * The "Eyes of the Lord": According to 1 Peter 3, long life, "good days," and divine protection are promised to those who keep their tongues from evil and seek peace. IV. Practical Love in Action The sermon outlines specific traits of Agape love that believers must practice: * Suffering Long: Enduring difficult people with patience. * Being Kind: actively seeking the welfare and happiness of others. * Not Boasting or Being Proud: Operating without a sense of superiority or "puffing yourself up" over others. * Keeping No Record of Wrongs: refusing to hold on to past hurts or using them against someone later. * Protecting Others: Covering a brother or sister in private rather than exposing their weaknesses. V. Conclusion: The Victorious Walk * Everything Else May Fail: Prophecies, tongues, and specialized knowledge are temporary and may fail or cease, but love is eternal and never fails. * The Final Goal: The believer's "great quest" should be to attain a state where they speak the truth in love and grow into the full stature of Christ. Sermon Declaration: “I refuse to live a powerless or disconnected life. I choose to make love my great quest. From today, I reposition my life so that my faith is energized by love, my prayers are answered, and I walk in the total victory of God.”

022| THE DOCTRINE OF GOD'S LOVE| TUESDAY TEACHING AND MIRACLE SERVICE

Sermon Notes: The Doctrine of God's Love Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: 1 John 4:7-8, 1 Corinthians 12-14, Ephesians 4-5. I. The Essence of God is Love * Divine Identity: God does not just "have" love; He is love. * The New Birth Connection: Being "born of God" is inherently linked to love; knowing God is measured by your capacity to love. * The Measuring Rod of Maturity: Spiritual growth isn't defined by the intensity of your faith or the frequency of your visions, but by your conduct in love. II. Love vs. Spiritual Gifts * The Futility of Giftings Without Love: * One can speak in tongues, prophesy, and understand mysteries, but without love, they are "nothing". * Sacrifice (giving to the poor or giving one's body to be burned) profits nothing if not motivated by love. * The More Excellent Way: Love is the primary "spiritual endowment" that should be eagerly pursued above all other gifts. III. Love in the Body of Christ * The Five-Fold Ministry's Goal: Apostles, prophets, and teachers are given to equip the saints to "speak the truth in love," leading to a "perfect man" modeled after Christ. * Collective Revelation: Jesus is best revealed to the world through the members of the church acting in love, rather than through individual spiritual manifestations. * The Danger of Stagnation: People often leave churches not because they lack miracles, but because they lack the "picture of Christ" which is only visible through loving relationships. IV. The Hard Truth: Love and Sacrifice * Walking in Love Means Dying: To walk in Agape love requires a "crucifixion" of the self. * Forgiveness as Power: Love requires us to ignore offenses and love those who have treated us poorly—even when it is "righteous" to be angry. * The Warning: Unforgiveness and bitterness act as "spiritual blockades" that hinder your prayer life and fellowship with God. V. Types of Love (Human vs. God-Kind) * Human-Kind Love: Includes Storge (family/blood), Philia (friendship), and Eros (romantic). These are powerful but limited by human nature. * God-Kind Love (Agape): A "liquid love" poured into the heart by the Holy Spirit. It is the only love capable of truly honoring God and producing eternal profit. Closing Declaration: “I choose to pursue love as my great quest. I will be an imitator of God by walking in love, allowing the Holy Spirit to stir my heart toward those who have hurt me, so that I may grow into the full measure of Christ.”
