TO GOD BE THE GLORY
1. To God be the glory, great things he hath done!
So loved he the world that he gave us his Son,
who yielded his life an atonement for sin,
and opened the lifegate that all may go in.
Refrain:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son,
and give him the glory, great things he hath done!
2. O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
to every believer the promise of God;
the vilest offender who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
3. Great things he hath taught us, great things he hath done,
and great our rejoicing thru Jesus the Son;
but purer, and higher, and greater will be
our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

HYMN 3
BLESSED SAVIOUR, WHAT SHALL WE BRING
The wise may bring their learning,
The rich may bring their wealth,
And some may bring their greatness,
And some their strength and health:
We too would bring our treasures
To offer to the King,
We have no wealth or learning—
What shall we children bring?
Blessed Saviour, what shall we bring(3x)
To offer to the Lord
We’ll bring Him hearts that love Him,
We’ll bring Him thankful praise,
And young souls meekly striving
To follow in His ways:
And these be the treasures
We offer to the King,
And these are gifts that ever
The poorest child may bring.
We’ll bring the little duties
We have to do each day;
We’ll try our best to please Him
At home, at school, at play:
And better are these treasures
To offer to the King
Than richest gift without them:
Yet these a child may bring.
The wise may bring their learning,
The rich may bring their wealth,
And some may bring their greatness,
And some their strength and health:
We too would bring our treasures
To offer to the King,
We have no wealth or learning—
What shall we children bring?
Blessed Saviour, what shall we bring(3x)
To offer to the Lord
We’ll bring Him hearts that love Him,
We’ll bring Him thankful praise,
And young souls meekly striving
To follow in His ways:
And these be the treasures
We offer to the King,
And these are gifts that ever
The poorest child may bring.
We’ll bring the little duties
We have to do each day;
We’ll try our best to please Him
At home, at school, at play:
And better are these treasures
To offer to the King
Than richest gift without them:
Yet these a child may bring.

PASTOR'S REFLECTION
What have you done for God?
“I gave my life for you, My precious blood I shed that I might redeem you; And quicken you from the dead; I gave my life for you; what have you given Me?”
“I suffered much for you; more than your tongue call tell; of bitterest agony; to rescue you from hell; I suffered much for you; what can you bear for me?”
Beloved, the Lord asked us two questions here, one, pertaining to what you have done, and another on what you are prepared to do for Him and His kingdom. I see this cry of the Lord as simply a call to every child of God to define his/her relationship with God. It is clearly obvious that the Lord does not encourage a one-sided relationship where just one partner pours out all that sustains the relationship.
Apostle Paul, long ago, personally answered the Lord, and defined his relationship with God:
“But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ; Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the Excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.” (Phil 3:7-8)
Today, the Lord is waiting for my answer and yours. If we don't answer Him now, sooner or later we will do, either here or in the other divide. I make bold to ask you, child of God, as I have asked myself severally, what have you done for God or His kingdom? What can you bear for Christ, who bored so much for you? The truth is that no person was ever honored for what he received, rather honor has been the reward of what he gave (Calvin Coolidge, former American President).
To help you answer these questions raised by the Lord, identify the gains of yesterday, you have counted dung for Christ and the loss of things you have suffered for Christ, to advance God's kingdom. What burdens are you carrying today for Christ, for the glory of His name on earth?
Child of God, if you cannot identify anything of substance, you still have time today to begin to make amends. It requires a total surrendering of your life to Him and now is the acceptable time.

PASTOR'S REFLECTION
Is your name written in the Lord's book of life?
“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name; And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven; Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you, but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven” (Lk 10:17-20)
Beloved, the danger in the Christendom is this: the devils may subject themselves unto you in the name of Jesus Christ, Satan may fall at your feet by the power of God, you may tread on serpents and scorpions and even over all the power of the enemy unhurt through God; yet, your name may be missing in the Lamb's book of life (Matt. 7:21-23, Lk 13:25-27). It has happened before and it is still happening now. The same, the Lord Jesus Christ said unto His disciples several thousand years ago, is what He is saying to us today. 'A stitch in time saves nine.'
In the above passage, the Lord made it very clear that miracles, signs and wonders, casting out demons, church positions, titles, testimonies, church politics, etc are good, but not the joy of a Christian. It is therefore very dangerous to rejoice over the additions at the expense of the most important. Unfortunately today, many of us are pursuing the mundane so vigorously not minding whether or not our names are written in heaven.
Child of God, have you asked God at anytime if your name is written in heaven? The truth is that until you hear from God, don't assume anything. Again, even when God confirms to you today that your name is included, it is also very advisable to go back to Him from time to time to check as names could be deleted (Ex 32:33; 2 Tim 4:10). Do you know that all those the Lord denied knowing in Matt. 7:21-23; Lk 13:25-27, were among the well-fed, well-taught, who had daily eaten spiritual bread and drank spiritual water in the presence of the Lord? Do you know they were the generals of Christ in the eyes of the world?
So what was their mistakes? They did not inquire from the Lord if their names were there, nor did they consistently examine themselves (2 Cor. 13:5), rather, they went about doing mighty works in His name. What happened to them is a lesson to help us (1 Cor. 10:11-12). If your name is not written there, all the noise, positions, bible study, church meetings and fellowship, and in fact, your coming to the world would be in vain. Judas Iscariot learnt his lessons too late (Matt 27:3-10). May you and I never make the same mistakes in Jesus name!

AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

PASTOR'S REFLECTION - 8TH OCTOBER, 2015
We brought nothing to the world
“And Job said: Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither” (Job 1:21; Eccl 5:15)“For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we carry nothing out” (1 Tim 6:7)
Beloveth, I do not know how well you understood the scriptures above. I believe that the parable of the fox will make you understand it better. 'several years ago, a certain poultry farmer fenced his poultry with barb wires to protect it from dangerous wild animals, but mistakenly left a small hole in the fence. One day, a lean and hungry-stricken fox gained entrance into the poultry through that small hole and began to feed daily on the chickens and the eggs, thereby depleting the flock. It did not take long for the fox to become very fat and her activities noticeable in the place. This situation prompted the owner of the poultry to put measures in place to trap the intruder, and the fox realizing that her life was in great danger decided to escape through the same small hole. Unfortunately, she could not, as she has became too fat for the hole that allowed her entrance a few months ago. Desperate to escape death or capture, she resorted to dry fasting and hiding in a dark corner, and after about a week, she returned back to her original size (lean and hungry-stricken) and was able to escape through the small hole.
The scriptures above and the story of the fox, makes it very clear to us that everything we acquire in this world will be left there. Nothing here is worth losing our eternal life for. Like the wise old fox, it is time for us to understand that the world we are in is completely fenced with traps for our souls (1 Jhn 2:15-17) and the princes of this world desperately seeketh whom to devour (1 Pt 5:8; Job 1:7)
What then is the way of escape? Child of God, learn from the wise fox – as a matter of urgency, begin to shed every unnecessary weight that would not allow you walk pass the strait gate through the narrow way (Matt 7:14; Luk 13:24; Heb 11:13-16). Then set your affection above and not on things on the earth (Col 3:1-2). Let this be your watch word: “I brought nothing into this world, and I will carry nothing out of it.” Pastor K. Nzeh

WORSHIP HYMN 3 - 8TH OCTOBER, 2015
PRAISE MY SOUL THE KING OF HEAVEN
Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven;
To His feet thy tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore His praises sing:
Praise Him, praise Him,
Praise the everlasting King.
Praise Him for His grace and favor
To our fathers in distress;
Praise Him still the same as ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Praise Him, praise Him,
Glorious in His faithfulness.
Fatherlike He tends and spares us,
Well our feeble frame He knows;
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes.
Praise Him, praise Him,
Widely yet His mercy flows.
Frail as summer’s flow’r we flourish,
Blows the wind and it is gone;
But while mortals rise and perish,
Our God lives unchanging on.
Praise Him, praise Him,
Praise the high Eternal One!
Angels, help us to adore Him,
Ye behold Him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before Him;
Dwellers all in time and space,
Praise Him, praise Him,
Praise with us the God of grace.

Pastor's Reflection for 1st November
PASTOR'S REFLECTION
The burning bush and its lessons to a child of God“Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even horeb.
And the angel of the lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire and the bush was not consumed.
And Moses sais, I will turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses; And he said, here am I.” – Ex 3:1-4
The phenomenal story of the 120yrs of the life of Moses can be broken into three parts; He lived the first 40yrs of his life thinking that he was somebody (Ex 2:11-13); another 40yrs discovering that he was a nobody (Ex 2:14-21); and the last 40yrs, he witnessed what God can do with somebody that was a nobody (Ex 7:1; 4:17; 24:1-2; 34:28-35)
It was therefore at this second stage of his life that he encountered God at Mount Horeb and the lesson is that only at the mountain of God can encounters of great substance be possible (Oba 1:17; Gen 28:10-19). Again, until one becomes a nobody before God, and count all gain as loss for Christ, certain divine revelations and encounters may not be possible (1 Cor 1:26-29; Phil 3:7-8; Heb 11:24-27)
What did the lord use the burning bush to tell Moses? The first was the persecution and trial state of the Israelites. God practically demonstrated to Moses that although the people of Israel were going through severe fire of affliction, oppression and adversity in the hands of the Egyptians, they will not be consumed such as the bush burned with fire but could not be consumed. More importantly, the lord used that encounter to tell Moses about the future church of God – that the church and indeed every true child of God would suffer persecution, trials and oppression in the world but would not be consumed (Isa 43:2; Jhn 16:33). The devil and his co-hosts will use the fire of adversity and much more, to compel many to give up but the church shall not be consumed (Matt 16:18; Jhn 1:5) Allelluia!!
Beloved, what is happening to you now, be it affliction, oppression, suffering, troubles, delays and adversities, was indeed revealed over thousands of years ago, and cannot consume you as long as you remain in God. The nation of Israel went through it, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (Dan3:23-30); Daniel (Dan 6:16-23), etc all did and came out stronger and better. You will surely come out of that situation with a testimony to the glory of God in Jesus name.
However, child of God, make sure that you are always at the mountain of God (a good bible teaching and believing church) and like Habakkuk, watch daily to see what He will say or show to you (Hab 2:1) and in the scriptures (word of God) and be quick to answer him when He calleth (Ex 3:4)
Look around you, there is something He has been calling your attention to, all that is required of you is “turn aside to see”. For it could be a life-challenging encounter.
