In his message at the September 6 Sunday service, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, reading from the theme scripture for the Month, Daniel 11:32b, said that men who look for flattery are setting themselves up for a fall. As the Bible puts it, doing wickedly against the covenant is tantamount to heresy and is for those who position themselves for all types of corruption. King Herod’s death was given as an example of flattery from men.
Pastor Taiwo reminded the sparse congregation and viewers that we were created to live a life of great exploits.
In Acts 9:1-16, Pastor Taiwo showed an example of how the presence of the Holy Spirit can allow us do exploits. Pastor Taiwo further explained that the Bible verse showed us different experiences of Exploits. He added that there were four sets of people recognised and they were the 12 men, Paul, the unbelievers (Jews) and the Iterant Jewish exorcists.
Such was the power that was experienced, that a whole continent came into the knowledge of God. (Acts 19:10). Pastor Taiwo added that the tremendous exploits performed by Daniel in the Old Testament mean that we, now living in the New Testament should aim much higher, as we’re under a newer covenant.
In conclusion, Pastor Taiwo reminded believers that if they’re in Christ Jesus, they are created for great exploits and that their root will remain grounded in Christ Jesus.
