Who Am I?

Pastor Adekoye Sanni
Who am I? Who are
you? Who are we? We are ambassadors for Christ. We are here to represent God on
earth. In order to not fall by the way side or fall into temptation; it is
important for us to know who we are. What is our identity and what do we
represent.
 
1.) I am a new
creature, one that never existed. 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if
anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the
new has come." (english standard version)
2.) I am the
righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. 2 Coritnhians 5:21, "For our sake he
made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the
righteousness of God" (esv)
3.) I am
potentionally a child of God. John 1:12, "But to all who did receive him,
who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God"
(esv)
4.) I am chosen and
set apart. 1 Peter 2:9, "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a
holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the
excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous
light." (esv)
5.)
My citizenship is in Heaven. Phillipians 3:20-21, "But our
citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious
body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to
himself." (esv)

Overcoming Temptation

Pastor Adekoye Sanni

Anatomy of Temptation

Pastor Adekoye SanniGenesis 3:1-10The most expensive meal in the history of man-kind is the apple that
Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree. All of humanity is still paying for the
cost of it today. Some have argued - why did God place the tree in the midst of the garden in the first place? Pastor 'Koye explained this in the 2nd part of this topic and many other questions such as - what does yielding to temptation do to a believer? How does temptation overtake a man (James 1:14-15)? What role does your thought pattern play in allowing temptation to overtake you? Be blessed as you listen!

What is Temptation?

Pastor Adekoye SanniMatthew 4:1-11What is temptation? Who is the tempter? Is temptation a sin? Why do I have to face temptation? How can I overcome temptation? These and many other questions on temptation are addressed in this message series. At the heart of temptation is an identity crisis. The devil is trying to prove God wrong in your life.
God allows the temptations because He has given you the ability to overcome them.

Parables of the Kingdom Series - The Parable of the Leaven

Pastor Adekoye SanniMatthew 13:33 - Another parable spake he
unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman
took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. In this message, Pastor Koye challenged the church on what part we need to play in spreading real gospel in our world today - true joy is found in sharing the goodness of God with others, spreading the 'leaven' of the word of God. Also, we are to beware of the leaven of hypocrisy and malice. As individuals, we need to be ourselves and not allow the enemy to hide his devices in our lives by being hypocritical about what we have done - as soon as you are able to 'tell on yourself' you have broken the power the sin had on you and you will be able to move forward and the grace of God will be made available to you. But as long as you are pretending and hiding behind one finger, the enemy will continue to overpower you.Always remember - no matter how many times you fall down, pick yourself up and keep going...until you commit to keep going, you will always entertain the option of quitting after a failure.
