Celebration Church Int'l

EBENEZER

No guaranteed strategy makes a year better, except if the Lord wills. We may plan to do this or that, but it is not in a man’s power to direct his own steps. Our lives are ultimately guided and sustained by God.

Welcome to 2026 — our year of EBENEZER

We were reminded that Jesus actually cares about who we think He is. (Luke 21:27, Matthew 16:13–17)

📌 Christmas is the most celebrated season in the world largely because of storytelling. 📌 Storytelling shapes culture, perception, and belief. Yet, while many are open to the celebration of Christmas, they are not always open to the Christ behind it. Everyone loves Christ… until He is clearly defined.

To kick off our Seven Days of Christmas series at midweek service yesterday, Apostle taught powerfully. 🔥 He began by emphasizing the importance of genealogy, especially in a generation determined to rebrand the story of Christmas to make it culturally fitting while stripping it of its true essence. Genesis 38:26, 2 Samuel 11:1-2, 9, 15 Here are a few key takeaways from the sermon. 👇🏻

In today’s service we received a stirring word from our Apostle, @pst_iren, on the topic; ‘Faith is the Language of Revival.’ 🔥 He began by referencing Joshua 1:3 and Genesis 17:5, emphasising that the vocabulary of God calls the end from the beginning. It is a vocabulary of faith, and our confessions must align with His vocabulary ✨ Here are a few key takeaways from the sermon 👇🏻 📍 Until you embrace what God has already done, your experience will not align with what He has said. 📍 On a corporate level, we must learn to embrace the vocabulary of God. Nations are opened unto us. 📍 Every problem that arises has a solution already in place. ⚪️ Two things you must do when you hear and read God’s Word. 1. You must receive it. 2. You must do it. 📍 Whatever you do must come from a place of conviction in what God has said. 📍 Act as though what God has said has already happened. Receive it, walk like it, and talk like it. 📍 Prophetic visions will positively affect your psychology.

📍Some things to put in place and follow religiously; 1. Fellowship with the brethren. 2. Your personal devotion.3. Consecration. 4. You must take action.

God’s unstoppable love is seen in our daily lives and ministries (Gen 18:18-19). Family is God’s strategy for His unstoppable move. The first time God ever spoke to a human, it was about a family (Gen 1:28).

Sovereignty is who God is and what He does, while providence is God’s intentional, personal involvement in the details of our lives. These two truths form the foundation for creative miracles.

Build, create, influence, and use every platform for the kingdom of God, bringing all things into obedience to Christ.

A word study on Israel: The name Israel is formed from two words — Sara and El. Sara means to contend, to wrestle, to fight.

God is actually in control. When Jesus says yes, nobody can say no. God’s providence is all-encompassing: it’s God’s continuous and active involvement in sustaining, guiding, and solving all things towards the fulfillment of his purpose

Jesus Called Me Broke With our anchor scripture being Rev. 3:20, a powerful reminder that not every kind of growth is beneficial (after all, cancer is a form of growth too). A church with Jesus is complete, no matter the number. 🙏The economy of heaven is different; those the world calls rich may actually be poor. 💭 And that the modern church must balance both justice and justification, because the gospel is more than social impact, its truth, compassion, and purpose intertwined.

Leaving a Legacy

Master money, don’t serve it. (Proverbs 21:20) Plan for the future, save diligently, and resist the urge to show off. Having money doesn’t mean you can afford everything. Choose to be rich, not look rich.

We explored faith and prudence in the aspect of marriage. It was emphasised that both our spirit and mind must be actively engaged for us to make major life decisions. Here are some key points from the sermon;

The Church of Satan sometimes doesn’t outright preach anything diabolical. They encourage you to live according to your will. We must recognize that the devil is a master of deception. Even a religious endeavor designed to satisfy your appetite is controlled by the devil.

💡What are the things that happen in a revival?  ✅Increased zeal and boldness.  ✅ More people will preach more radically.  ✅ Conviction of sin. ✅ Massive conversions. ✅ Explosive church growth. ✅ Disciples raised

Work has always been God's idea from the very beginning. In Genesis 2:8, God planted a garden, and Adam continued what God started. This shows that work was always an extension of worship, not a punishment or distraction from it.
