Wave your hands and bless God for how great He is.
Pray and give God quality thanks and praise!
Pray: Lord, visit me, by Your Word. Let me grow from strength to strength and grace to grace.
Pray: My eyes are fixed on You, I will not be disappointed.
I declare that you will only go from glory to glory!

I prophesy laughter in season and out of season, in the name of Jesus Christ!
On account of your result, men will follow you and say I want to serve The Lord.
I decree and declare that what has never been done in your family, may the grace and anointing rest upon you to do it!

RECAP ON PART ONE: THE FUNDAMENTAL DOCTRINES OF THE FAITH
Any effective teaching ministry focuses on communicating doctrine and the mysteries or principles of the Kingdom. And the teaching ministry does so in a contextualized, pragmatic and life-applicable manner.
The Bible is infallible only with respect to its ability to reveal God, the state of man, Jesus Christ, and God’s salvation of man.
The Bible contains the richest, documented revelation of God to man.
RECAP ON PART ONE: THE FUNDAMENTAL DOCTRINES OF THE FAITH
The Exclusive Attributes Of God:
1. God is eternal
2. He is self-existent (He does not outsource vitality from anyone or any other factor)
3. God is immutable (He is unchanging in His character. His methods can change, but His character is consistent)
4. God is omnipresent (His ability to be everywhere)
5. God is omniscient (all-knowing)
6. God is omnipotent (all-powerful)
The six attributes listed above are exclusive attributes He does not share. Below are the shared attributes of God:
7. God is Spirit and He made man’s spirit
8. God is light and man is light
9. God is Holy (consecrated, set apart)
10. God is love
THE TRIUNE NATURE OF GOD:
No man can fully understand the triune nature of God intellectually.
(Acts 17:29)
This is a reality that is beyond the frame of man’s intellect. If you have to intellectualize everything about God, there will be many aspects of Him that we will miss out on because His nature cannot be intellectualized.
“Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.” Acts 17:29 (KJV)
“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Colossians 2:9 (KJV)
“because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” Romans 1:19-20 (KJV)
What Is Triune?
The concept of Triune means “Three that is manifested in One”.
The word “One” is the Hebrew word translated as, “Echad” and it means “Unity”, not singular. (Genesis 2:24, Ezra 3:1)
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3 (KJV)
“Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.” Deuteronomy 4:35 (KJV)
“Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.” Deuteronomy 4:39 (KJV)
“one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” Ephesians 4:6 (KJV)
“And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.” Ezra 3:1 (KJV)
“All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.” 1 Chronicles 12:38 (KJV)
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” Genesis 1:26 (KJV)
“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
Isaiah 6:8 (KJV)
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;”
Isaiah 61:1 (KJV)
“Doubtless thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our Father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.”
Isaiah 63:16 (KJV)
“Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: The sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”
Psalm 45:6-7 (KJV)
SCRIPTURES ABOUT GOD (THE SON):
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14 (KJV)
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)
SCRIPTURES ABOUT GOD (THE HOLY SPIRIT):
“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” Genesis 1:2 (KJV)
“And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;” Isaiah 11:2 (KJV)
“Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.” Isaiah 48:16 (KJV)
SCRIPTURES ABOUT THE TRIUNE NATURE OF GOD (NEW TESTAMENT):
“And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Matthew 3:16-17 (KJV)
“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:”
John 17:1 (KJV)
SCRIPTURES CONFIRMING THE EXISTENCE OF GOD AS THE TRINITY:
– God the Father: Isaiah 63:16
– God the Son: Psalm 45:6-7, Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, Matthew 3:16-17, John 17:1
– God the Holy Spirit: Genesis 1:2, Isaiah 11:1-3, 48:16, Matthew 3:16-17
Regarding engaging The Godhead, according to Scriptures, all activities of prayer and worship go primarily to God (The Father). Matthew 6:9 (KJV)
The “Triune” nature of God cannot be fully comprehended from an intellectual standpoint.
THE STUDY OF MAN:
The study of Man from the theological standpoint is called “Anthropology” which is from the Greek Word “Anthropos”.
Two Questions To Consider in Understanding the Doctrine of Man from an Anthropological StandPoint:
1. What Is Man? (Psalm 143:3, Job 7:17-18, Psalm 8:1-4)
2. Why Did God Create Man?
When you know who you are, you understand the possibilities and vulnerability that come with your person, and it sponsors your dependence on God.
TRACING THE ORIGIN OF MAN (FACTS ABOUT MAN):
1. Man is a created being (Genesis 1:26-28, 2:7, Revelation 4:11, Psalm 139:14-16, Isaiah 45:11).
2. Man was created to be a dependent being; dependent on God, fellow men (relationships), and his environment. (Acts 17:23-28)
Differences Between the Words “Create” and “Form” in The Creation Of Man (Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:7)
To “Create” means:
– To draw a reality from the realm of the Spirit.
– To bring into existence that which is not in existence.
To “Form” means:
– To frame.
– To bring shape or fashion.
Every time you invest in God’s Presence, it revitalizes your soul.
From a spiritual perspective, when you ignore God’s Presence (which represents your environment), you begin to die slowly much like how other beings cannot survive outside their natural habitat.
Declare: Father, I need Your presence in my life. I cannot love or thrive without You. By Your Spirit, teach me the practice of Your Presence!
What makes the life of a person glorious is the presence of God.
A glorious minister is a “presence-carrying” Minister. A glorious businessman is a “presence-carrying” businessman. This applies to anyone, regardless of their field of life.
In the name of Jesus Christ, the men (relationships) that have strategically been positioned to show up in your life, I gravitate them towards your destiny, ministry, business, and family, with speed, in the name of Jesus!
In the name of Jesus Christ, we declare supernaturally and medically, let there be speedy solutions to the demonic affliction called cancer!
In the name of Jesus Christ, I speak against breast cancer, leukemia, cancer of the blood, and prostrate cancer; we curse it now!
I decree and declare that cancer will not be your end, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Another aspect of man’s dependence on God is that you can agree that since God created the earth for me (humans), no element or force in creation will partner with the earth to fight me! (Job 5:23)
Pray: In the name of Jesus Christ, I stand in covenant with the earth, no element in creation will partner with earth to fight me!
No weapon of divination shall prevail against me, in the name of Jesus Christ!
TRACING THE ORIGIN OF MAN (FACTS ABOUT MAN):
3. Man is a being with intelligence; God built him with an ability to reason, imagine and express his thoughts in language and arts, and to give material frame to his thoughts, desires, and imaginations. Man operates beyond genetics and instincts. (Genesis 2:15, 19-20, 11:6, Romans 1:21, Ephesians 3:20)
4. Man was created as a moral being;
– Having the ability to make choices
– Having the ability to distinguish between right and wrong
– Having the ability to feel and face consequences
– Having conscience (John 3:14-15, 17, John 3:18)
5. Man is a triune or tripartite being; consisting of three parts, areas, or aspects (a spirit, soul, and body). Genesis 2:7, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Hebrews 4:12
No eye has seen (Jesus Revealed) by David Dam
GOD’S PURPOSE FOR MAN: WHY DID GOD CREATE MAN?
“When the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable.” – Dr. Myles Munroe
God created man for the following reasons:
1. For Relationship (God desired a family of sons and daughters to share love, fellowship, and communion).
(Genesis 3:8, John 20:17, Ephesians 3:14-15)
2. To Manifest His Glory (virtue, nature, character) upon the earth.
3. For Dominion (Hebrews 2:6, Revelations 5:10, Ephesians 3:10)
Dominion means demonstrating His wisdom and power.
Make contact with someone and pray for them. Stand in prayer against anything that threatens their destiny, and agree with them for their rising and excelling.
Pray: In the name of Jesus Christ, I decree and declare that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I dare to speak that greatness resides within me and the glory of God resides within me. I am a blessing to creation and everyone around me!
Pray against low self-esteem and inferiority complex.
I declare that whatever it takes to manifest the dominion God has called you into, may it begin to work in your life! May wisdom and knowledge, favour, the anointing, prosperity, and abundance, honour and lifting be evident in your life in the name of Jesus Christ!
I decree from now henceforth, begin to manifest the life and wisdom of Christ!
Begin to walk in the favour of God in the name of Jesus Christ!
No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper, every tongue that rises upon you shall be condemned, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I decree that men will bless you! May the book of remembrance will be opened for you, in the name of Jesus Christ!
You will not sleep the sleep of death, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I decree and declare that for your sake, everyone connected to you is blessed!
From Monday to Sunday, experience testimonies and liftings everyday!
Through your life, someone will love Jesus and be inspired to live for Jesus in the name of Jesus Christ!
You will never lack testimonies, in the name of Jesus Christ!
We are in the days of His power and this calls for personal revival and spiritual awakening.
Are you yet to heed the call of Jesus? Tonight, He is reaching out to you once again, ready to show you a path that leads to life and eternal glory.
Take this bold step of faith and begin the journey of salvation by saying “yes” to Jesus Christ. With faith in your heart, declare this prayer of salvation to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
”I say unto you, that likewise, joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.“ Luke 15:7 (KJV)
If you’ve made the decision to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior tonight, we celebrate you, and Heaven rejoices with you! We would love to hear from you and walk alongside you on your new Christian journey.
