Building Spiritual Capacity: Growing Stronger Through Prayer

Part 2: Growing Stronger Through Prayer

Spiritual strength is not developed through occasional effort. It requires consistent prayer, fellowship, biblical teaching and a willingness to be trained by the Holy Spirit.

In this concluding teaching, Pastor Arowolo examines the importance of spiritual vigilance and preparation. Drawing from the early church in Acts 2:42, he explains how prayer, God's Word, fellowship and breaking of bread provide a foundation for spiritual growth.

The sermon also explores spiritual discernment, the importance of remaining in God's presence and learning when to step forward or entrust a battle to the Lord.

Scriptures: 1 Kings 3:16-28, Acts 2:42, Luke 18:1 and Genesis 14:14.

  • Pastor Arowolo Protect Your Family: The Power of Unity and Love

    35:33|
    Christian families do not become spiritually strong by accident. They must be built and protected through unity, love, godly teaching and consistent prayer.In this timely sermon, Pastor Arowolo examines the responsibility of believing parents to establish family values and train their children in the way of the Lord. Drawing from Proverbs 22:6 and the biblical accounts of Samuel and Eli, he explains how children raised within a spiritual environment can still depart from the values they have been taught when parents stop watching, evaluating and praying.Parents must not assume that academic achievement, professional success or church attendance guarantees spiritual maturity. They must continue teaching by example, reviewing their children’s progress and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide them as parents.This message challenges every family to protect its unity, strengthen its love and become more intentional about raising children who know God, follow His Word and fulfil His purpose for their lives.

    40:17|
    How can Christian families remain united, spiritually strong and rooted in God's Word in a rapidly changing world?Speaking at the 2026 Women's Convention, Mummy Pastor Arowolo shares a practical biblical message about building a Christ-centred home. She challenges families to move beyond simply knowing Scripture and demonstrate God's Word through love, patience, forgiveness, communication and the way they care for one another. Parents are encouraged to make time for their children, listen when they need attention and provide not only for their physical needs but also their spiritual development. Children are likewise encouraged to listen to, honour and support their parents. The message also explores marriage decisions, family unity, responsible stewardship and the importance of leaving a godly inheritance for future generations. Mummy Pastor Arowolo calls families to make decisions together, prayerfully and according to God's Word rather than allowing selfishness or division to determine the direction of the home. The sermon concludes with powerful prayers for marriages, children, homes and future generations, asking for God's presence, peace, protection and guidance over every family. Scriptures include: James 1:22, Ephesians 6:1-4, Proverbs 22:6, 1 Timothy 5:8, Proverbs 13:22 and Proverbs 27:17.
  • Pastor Arowolo- Seek God’s Face and Rekindle Your Spiritual Fire

    23:22|
    Have you lost the passion you once had for God? This sermon challenges believers to move beyond casual Christianity and seek God with humility, commitment and their whole heart.Drawing from 2 Chronicles 7:14, John 1:35–39 and Jeremiah 29:13, the message explains the difference between simply praying for what we need and genuinely pursuing God. The disciples did not only want something from Jesus. They wanted to follow Him, know where He dwelt and remain in His presence.As we spend time with Jesus, His character should become visible in our attitudes, words and actions. God is calling His Church to wake up, recover its spiritual fire and become the true worshippers He is seeking.Listen and be encouraged to renew your passion for God, dwell in His secret place and seek Him wholeheartedly in every situation.
  • Minister Kevin Fitzpatrick - Why We Take Holy Communion: The Significance of Biblical Remembrance

    25:56|
    In this sermon preached on the first Sunday of the month, believers gather to partake of Holy Communion and rediscover its deep spiritual meaning. While the busyness of everyday life can lead us to make decisions without consulting God, communion serves as a vital reminder that while we may not forget Jesus mentally, we must actively keep Him at the centre of our daily actions.Key Topics & Themes in This Episode:God Provides What We Need: God promises to supply what we genuinely need rather than everything we want, calling us to trust His divine care without getting angry or frustratedMental Recall vs. Daily Living: Christians rarely forget who Jesus is mentally, but the demands of life often cause us to live and make choices without actively reflecting His loveSelf-Examination at the Table: Prior to receiving the bread and wine, believers are instructed to look inward, examine their hearts for sin, and ensure they are walking faithfully with ChristScriptural Institution of Communion: Grounded in 1 Corinthians 11:23–25, the sermon highlights Jesus' command to break bread and drink the cup "in remembrance of me"The Meaning of Biblical Remembrance: True biblical remembrance is more than recalling a past historical meal; when Christ's love is embedded in our hearts, every choice we make is shaped by HimJesus' Sinless Life & Ministry: The message reflects on Christ's miraculous life—conceived by the Holy Spirit, perfectly obedient to the Father, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and reaching out to those others avoid.Gethsemane & The Sacrifice of Calvary: Facing intense sorrow and fear in Gethsemane, Jesus submitted to the Father's will ("nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt"). From a wooden manger in Bethlehem to a wooden cross at Calvary, He willingly gave His life for our sins."It Is Finished", Not Defeated: When Jesus declared "It is finished" on the cross, He completed His work on earth, paid the debt for our sins, and reopened the door back to God.Salvation as a Gift: Salvation cannot be earned or achieved through human effort; it is a free gift received from God, accompanied by the Holy Spirit's power to be His witnesses.Looking Ahead to Christ's Return: Holy Communion looks backward to the cross, celebrates the victory of the resurrection—where the darkness of Friday was overcome by the light of Sunday—and anticipates Christ's promised return.Scriptures Referenced in This Sermon:1 Corinthians 11:23–25 – The institution of the Lord's SupperMatthew 3:17 – God's voice at Jesus' baptismMatthew 26:34–39 – Jesus praying in the Garden of GethsemaneJohn 19:30 – Christ's final declaration on the crossActs 1:8 – The promise of the Holy Spirit's power1 Corinthians 11:26 – Proclaiming the Lord's death until He comes

  • Pastor Oladipo - The Heart: Your Spiritual Operating System

    33:59|
    In this episode, we move beyond the physical mechanics of the heart to understand its scriptural role as the center of spiritual life. Many believers mistake their "soul feelings" for their "heart's intent," leading to decisions based on fleeting emotions rather than objective faith.Drawing from Deuteronomy, Psalms, and Chronicles, we discuss why God is more interested in why you serve than how much you do. We take a close look at the life of King Amaziah, who performed the right actions but lacked a "perfect heart," proving that it is possible to do the right thing for the wrong reasons.Highlights include:The necessity of serving with totality ("all your heart").How to guard your heart against pollution and gossip.Why the "word" must be hidden in the heart to prevent sin.The power of a clean heart in transforming your character and relationship with others.Join us as we learn to align our hearts with our Creator so that our service becomes a "sweet-smelling savor" to the Lord.
