Thy Will Be Done on Earth | Pastor Goke Afolayan

Thy Will Be Done on Earth | Pastor Goke Afolayan

"Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." — Matthew 6:10 (KJV) God created the earth — so why do we have to pray for His will to be done on it? Shouldn't that just happen automatically? In this message, Pastor Goke Afolayan unpacks a truth that's easy to overlook: God's will is settled instantly in heaven, but not on earth — because the authority over the earth was handed to us. What happens here, for good or for harm, is shaped by the choices you and I make every day. Using relatable, everyday illustrations — a jaywalking ticket and a very literal math lesson — Pastor Afolayan lays out three essentials for partnering with God's will on earth: 1. Desire it 2. Seek it in the Word 3. Submit your life to it This teaching is part of House of Hope's ongoing series on our foundational mandates, beginning with Mandate One: A Call to Perfection. Are you helping God's will happen on earth — or standing in the way of it?

A Father After God's Own Heart | Brother Oladapo Olalude

What does it truly mean to be a father? Society often reduces fatherhood to provision alone — but Scripture calls fathers to something far greater. In this powerful Father's Day message, Brother Oladapo Olalude draws from Psalm 103:13 — "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him" — to paint a picture of the father God intended from the very beginning: not a perfect man, but a present one. Through the lives of King David, Abraham, Noah, Enoch, and Caleb, Brother Olalude explores what it looks like to be a man after God's own heart. He outlines six foundational marks every godly father is called to walk in: * Seeking God first — letting obedience to His Word set the tone for the home * Living under God's authority — leading the family by surrender, not pride * Leading by example — because what your children see in you is what they become * Loving with compassion and sacrificially — reflecting the heart of the Father in the parable of the Prodigal Son * Building a lasting legacy — not of wealth, but of faith, as Abraham did * Praying for family and community — standing as an intercessor, as Job and Isaac did This message is a challenge and an encouragement — a reminder that God isn't looking for perfect fathers, but for faithful ones who are intentional, repentant, and rooted in Him. Whether you're a father, a son, a mentor, or someone being raised up for that role, this word is for you.

Majestic Encounters: Are You a Candidate? | Elder (Dr.) Sam Alfa

What does it truly mean to encounter God — and more importantly, are you positioned to receive one? In this powerful message, Elder (Dr.) Sam Alfa unpacks the meaning of a Majestic Encounter: a divine meeting with God in His majesty, power, and glory. Drawing from Scripture, he explores how God sovereignly chooses when, where, and how He reveals Himself — from the burning bush with Moses to the cool of the day with Adam, from Jacob wrestling through the night to Paul's dramatic road to Damascus. Every encounter was different. Every encounter was intentional. But here's the question that drives this message: What qualifies you as a candidate? Through vivid biblical examples — Esther's year of preparation, Abraham's radical hospitality, Solomon's sacrificial worship, Cornelius' faithful giving — Elder Sam reveals the attitudes and actions that open the door to divine encounter.
