My Lesson Notes from Church (Vol. 2): Wonders of Praise Service

First Service – Topic: Knowing Your Enemy

Pastor: Emmanuel Emefienim

Scriptures: 2 Samuel 6:22, Joshua 1:5

The first enemy of praise highlighted was pride. Pastor reminded us that pride can silence our praise and block our blessings. David, despite being king, declared in 2 Samuel 6:22:

“And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight…”

Also, Joshua 1:5 reminds us:

“There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”

Declarations Wonders of Praise RCCG:

• ARISE O GOD AND SCATTER ALL MY ENEMIES
• IN THE NAME OF JESUS, MY MOCKERS ARE SILENCED PERMANENTLY;
• IN THE NAME OF JESUS, MY BURDENS ARE LIFTE AND MY JOY MULTIPLIED;
• IN THE NAME OF JESUS, ALL MY PENDING BLESSINGS ARE RELEASED THIS MONTH
• FROM NOW ON, MY REALM IS QUITE; INENJOY PEACE ROUNDABOUT
• AGAINST ALL ODDS AND ON A DAILY BASIS, FEARFUL TESTIMONIES ARE MY PORTION
• THIS MONTH ENDS GLORIOUSLY FOR ME. MY CASE IS SETTLED! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

Second Service – Topic: Knowing Your Enemy (continued)

Pastor: Emmanuel Emefienim

Scriptures: Hebrews 12:14–15 (NLT), Matthew 6:14–15 (NLT)

The second enemy of praise is bitterness. Pastor taught that bitterness is poisonous, affecting not only us but those around us. Unforgiveness also blocks both prayer and praise.

Declarations:

• IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I AND MY HOUSEHOLD ARE FOR SIGNS AND WONDERS
• WHOEVER ATTACKS ME AFTER TODAY SHALL BE THOROGHLY DISGRACED;
• MY CHALENGES ARE OVERTURNED; I ENJOY UNCOMMON GRACE WHEREVER I GO;
• MY HEART IS FIXED ON THE LORD; I AND MY FAMILY SHALL NOT BE MOVED;
• IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I CAN NEVER BE STRANDED; GOD WILL MAKE A WAYFOR ME;
• FOR ME AND MY FAMILY, THIS MONTH SHALL SURELY END IN PRAISE…..
• AND AT LAST MY, MY JOY OVERFLOWS.. AMEN & AMEN

Third Service – Topic: Explosive Growth Drive

Theme: The Mandate to Intercede for the Gospel

Scriptures: 1 Timothy 2:1–4, Acts 16:25

Prayer isn’t just for pastors, it’s a mandate for every believer. We must intercede for:

• The lost to be saved
• More laborers in God’s vineyard
• The Gospel to penetrate hearts
• Ministers’ health, boldness, and strength
• Utterance to communicate the Gospel effectively

Takeaway: When the church prays, the Gospel grows.

Fourth Service – Topic: His Word Will Come to Pass

Scriptures: Habakkuk 2:3, 2 Corinthians 1:20, Psalm 138:2, Isaiah 55:11, Proverbs 3:5–6

No matter how long it takes, God’s Word never fails. Even if it tarries, wait for it.

Why I believe God’s Word will come to pass:

• Psalm 138:2: “Thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.”
• Isaiah 55:11: “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void…”

What we must do:

• Trust in the Lord with all our heart (Proverbs 3:5–6)
• Recognize His faithfulness to every promise
