Rev Kodwo Lindsay

In Deuteronomy 30:16 (KJV), the Bible says “16 In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.”   It is Resurrection Sunday, Reverend Lindsay preaches the message “If you Love the Lord you understand His Blessings”. As Christians we must show the world that we are here to be blessed. We show that by keeping God’s commandments. If you will love the Lord, the blessings will follow. First if you love the Lord you will experience His presence and manifestations. Secondly if you love the Lord all things will work out for your good. If you love the Lord, He will keep His covenants towards you. His promises work for lovers of God! God will be with you in trouble and will defend in crisis if we love Him.    Let us truly love our God and experience all He has for us to the fullest.

John 14:21 (AMPC),  “The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him. [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.]”   In the Hosanna or Palm Sunday Reverend Lindsay preaches the powerful word “ If you Love God you will obey Him”. God tells us how he would like to be loved. Sign that you love God when you follow him and obey him wholeheartedly. This is how to obey God. First you will keep the word of God in your heart. Keep the word meditate on it read, listen to it consistently. The second way is that you will keep God’s commandments. Feed God’s flock, you will be one that invites people to church and shows love of God. When God tells you how to love Him, believe Him and do it! Love is felt!   Obedience is your main guarantee of God’s presence, so let us love our God truly by doing what He commands.

In 1 John 4:7 (KJV) the Bible says “ 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.”   Reverend Lindsay preaches this Sunday a continuation message “If you Love God you will love the brethren”. Love is not defined by what you think but what the person receiving the love thinks. God will make you blessed if you become a true God lover. One of God’s love languages is loving the brethren. What does that mean? First you must love your brother and sister. A sign that you love God is you love others. That you are able to sacrifice for others also shows your love for God. The second sign is that you lay down your life for others. You must also have compassion for the brethren.   Let us live out our love for God daily by loving those around us truly.

In Matthew 22:37 (KJV) the Bible says “37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.”   In this message Reverend Lindsay preaches a powerful message “If you Love the Lord, You are Doing the Most Important Thing”. God is the definition of love and we must respond to His great love for us by loving Him. A church must love God and love people. People may not read the scriptures but they can read love. Our motive for all aspects of our life should be loving God. If we love God, He will truly be real to us. Christians are not supposed to live a regular life, we are to live a supernatural life loving God and follow His ways.    Loving God is our most important duty, let us daily be lovers of God with our whole being.

2 Corinthians 9:8 (KJV) “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:”   In this message Reverend Lindsay preaches “ The Importance of Work”. Why is it important to work? Work is better than rest. It is a blessing to be able to work. There are two types of work, working for God and working for yourself. God created us to work with Him, man was never meant to work for anyone but God. FInd something to do in God's garden. Be mindful and look for opportunities to work for our Lord.   Let us join God’s workforce and get the blessing that is beyond working just for ourselves.

Isaiah 54: 1(NKJV) ““Sing, O barren, You who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, You who have not labored with child! For more are the children of the desolate Than the children of the married woman,” says the Lord.”    In this message Reverend Lindsay preaches”How Prayer Makes You have Greater Works“ Fruitfulness is a reflection of intimacy with God. Real christians see God in their room. Your maker needs to become your husband. Just like children are made in an intimate private moment, the time with God is you alone spending time. Only then can fruits be borne, through intimacy with our Maker! Let us move christianity from just being in church and take it to your bedroom for a true relationship! Let God be the first person you speak to, the first words you read from His word, let us seek Him first. As Daniel 11:32b (NKJV) says “ but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits”   Do you know God, are you intimate with God? Let us all grow in intimacy with

Isaiah 54:1(MSG) “ Sing, barren woman, who has never had a baby. Fill the air with song, you who’ve never experienced childbirth! You’re ending up with far more children than all those childbearing women.” God says so!"   Reverend Lindsay preaches the message “Attempt Great Things for God”. What did not work last year, will work this year in Jesus' name. First point we learn from Isaiah 54 is clear lots of ground. Then continue to make room in your tents for what God is going to do! Often what you think about yourself is who you are. Instead of thinking about yourself, start thinking about God. Think big, your God is big! Usually your expectations drive your attempts. So attempt great things and expect great results.   Let us attempt great things for God this year and be ready for the overflow because our God is great and mighty!

John 12:24 (KJV)  “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”   Reverend Lindsay preaches a message entitled “Sacrifice is the key to Fruitfulness”. What is the process of true fruitfulness? It takes sacrifice going deeper, dying, losing, planting and of going under to bear fruit. Going beyond your desires and doing what God desires. Dying of self and living in Christ. Don’t just eat the fruit of your life but also sow and save a portion of yourself  to go deeper.You will never be able to see what you missed until you go down. How do you go down; by glorifying God. God never intended for us to live as a seed and die as seed, your life is supposed to be like God. Being fruitful and living for God.   Let us live the life God intends for us a life of sacrifice and fruitfulness. 

John 6:11 (KJV) “And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.”   In this message Reverend Lindsay preaches a powerful  message entitled “The Greatest Miracle of Thanksgiving”. How to be thankful and walk a miraculous life is first to relax and sit down. We should follow the example of Jesus as he fed the five thousand. Tell God what you need and then go ahead and thank Him for what He has already done and what he is to do. You must also appreciate the little things around, they are the source of your miracles.If you appreciate what you have it appreciates.We must not murmur and complain that stops the flow of our blessings, thanksgiving opens that flow up. Verbalize your appreciation is the next key point.   Let us follow Jesus' example and live a thankful life!

Matthew 16:24 (KJV) “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”   In this message Reverend Lindsay continues the Losing, Sacrificing, Suffering and Dying message series with a message entitled Enemies of Sacrifice. The enemies of sacrifice include the antichrist, the spirit Judas, and the devil himself. We need to fight the enemies of sacrifice that try to destroy your peace, prosperity, and power in Christ. The spirit of telling you things you do for the Lord are waste is the spirit of Judas. What is the Lord asking you to sacrifice that your logical mind by the satanic spirit is telling you not too? Any gift you give God becomes better.   Let us not let the enemies of sacrifice remove power and blessing we have in Christ our Lord.

In Philippians 3:8 (NIV) the Bible says, ”What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ”   The message series  Losing, Sacrificing, Suffering and Dying  continues with Reverend Lindsay preaching about the “Power of Sacrifice”. Sacrifice is power. We as Christians often have taken for granted the power of God. How that power dwells in us.When we speak Heaven should hear, when we speak satan should fear, when we speak evil should clear. That type of power is what we carry in Jesus' name. There are three powerful effects of sacrifice.Sacrifice causes people to follow, it causes people to be convinced about you,and lastly causes people to be  committed to you.   Let us walk in the glorious power of God through our sacrifices for Him and His Kingdom's sake!

In Galatians 2:20 (KJV) the Bible says, “I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”   In this message Reverend Lindsay preaches a much needed message entitled “Losing,Suffering, Sacrificing, and Dying”. We have  these four spiritual appointments as believers in Christ. These appointments are necessary to understand the fullness of God’s power. You have to lose something to get the fullness of God. The sacrifices you make for God, produces endurance. We are to as James 1:2 says “count it all joy” when we go through diverse trials, in this we build up our strength. We must die to our flesh daily and as Galatians 2:20 says we should no longer be a forefront but Christ is what lives in us.   Let us listen to anointed word and lose, suffer, sacrifice and die of some things for God’s sake!

In Isaiah 43:4 (KJV) “Since thou wast precious in My sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men for thee and people for thy life.”   In this special Honor Your Prophet Sunday, Reverend Lindsay preaches a powerful message entitled “Honoring the Anointed”. Anything you appreciate, appreciates. When you truly value something then only can it be of benefit. It is important to honor those God has placed in your life including pastors and our Bishop Dag Heward-Mills. Contentment is not desiring what you don’t have, but appreciating what you do. Since God has given us the gift of this ministry and our leader we must appreciate it. Where the anointing is not honored it does not work. Honoring is an obligation and legal requirement.   As we honor and appreciate those God has placed in our lives there is a special blessing that awaits us.

In Psalms 65:4 (KJV) “Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.” This week Reverend Lindsay continues the message series The Powerful Effects of the Assembly. The assembly brings about unity. We are to be each other’s keeper, looking out for and helping one another. The assembly also prevents you from being a mocker. When you are an active part of the assembly you are less likely to mocking or complaining about the church. The assembly causes your needs to be met. You can find your spouse, friends, prayer partners, study partners, etcetera being part of the assembly. Prophecies happen in the assembly. It is such a blessing to part of the assembly, so let us all endeavor to be fully plugged into God’s assembly: the church.

In Hebrews 10:24-25 (KJV), “24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” This week Reverend Lindsay preaches a powerful sermon entitled “The Power of the Assembly”. The power of coming together. If the church does not get together as one body there is no use. when you join the assembly your value increases, you become more useful to the kingdom. The assembly also provokes you to love and do good works. Your safety is in the Lord, your covering is in the Lord, we need to be fully submitted to him.The assembly is powerful because it is a place of edification. It is also a place of encouragement, you can come to the assembly with a heavy heart and leave with a joy in your heart. Let us all be encouraged to pursue continuous fellowship and assembly growing in Christ together.

In Jeremiah 23:2 the Bible says “ ​​2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them…” As an introduction to National Vistation Week, Reverend Lindsay preaches about the importance of “Visitation”. Visitation is a ministration of love and God demonstrated the ultimate example by sending His son Jesus to visit where we were here on earth. Pastors and shepherds and as believers in general is it important to visit and meet people where they are. We learn in this message that every church member needs a visit, deserves a visit, should expect a visit, and God expects every pastor to visit God’s sheep. Let us  all be expectant and open to receive the love God has for us!

Proverbs 3:9-10 (KJV)  Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. In this message Reverend Lindsay preaches powerfully about the different “Levels of Honor”. Honor is to show respect, acknowledgement, and appreciating someone for who the person is and what they have done. You don’t honor to satisfy a need but because of what that person is worth to you. Those who Honor God, honor the church, respect worship, respect His words, and respect the men that represent Him. When you recognize all the different ways that represent God, then you honor Him. When you come to God you must believe as it says in Hebrews 11:6.  As it says Hebrews 11:6 (KJV), “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Let us all seek  and truly believe in our God, it is key to our life in Christ.

Hebrews 10:25 (KJV) “ Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” In this powerful message Reverend Lindsay continues the series “Reasons why you must be permanent church members”. When you are permanent there is longevity and with that blessings that flow out. Often when there is no permanence in church, there is also lack of Bible reading, praying, and seeking God in all things. You can invest freely when you are permanent. When you are permanent you have a family to celebrate with. You will be rewarded for faithfulness. Above all let us be permanent with God.

Psalms 92:13 (KJV) “Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God..” It is important to be permanent in the house of the Lord. In this message Reverend Lindsay starts a new series on “Reasons why you must be a permanent member of the church “. Why is it important to be a permanent member first because you are part of a family. We are brothers and sisters of the first son Jesus and our Father God reigns. We are also a building, like every building block is important for the structure and steadiness of the building. It is also important to be a permanent member because we are part of the garden.God is beautifying us and flourishing us when we are planted in His house.  Let us be permanently attached to our Lord God and keep ourselves firmly planted in the house of the Lord and reap all the blessings He has for us.

In Philippians 2:4(KJV) “Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.” In this special International Sunday Service Reverend Lindsay preaches an anointed message about “Others”. God’s mind is full of man. Jesus thought about others, He came for you and I. Often when we wake our mind is full of ourselves not concerned with the well-being and the needs of others. We have the ultimate example of living for others. Jesus didn’t come for himself, He loved us so much that He came and died for us. That He may come and reside in our hearts and change us from our fleshy selves to righteous Christ-like beings. Thinking of others and not just ourselves. Let us allow Jesus to live in us and transform our lives to love and care for what He does.
