    Mattins Service Sermon 16/11/2025

    Preacher: Rev. Canon Gideon Genka

    Topic: Singing of the Lord’s mercies, declaring His faithfulness

    Text: Psalm 89:1

    Introduction: One of the greatest pleasures in a Christian’s life is the ability to praise God. The Lord is God in the good time and also God in the bad times.
    The Psalm 89 tells us that praise is not dependent on circumstances but rooted in God’s character.

    Nathan the psalmist reminds us of 2 unchanging attributes of God:

    1. The mercies of God
    2. The faithfulness of God.
      By God’s mercies we are not consumed and of His faithfulness we have been restored.

    Lessons from the Psalm 89:1
    i. Declaration of praise: Praise is a choice and act of the will. The Psalmist said “I will sing”. Whether in good or bad, he showed intentionality.
    Worship is not determined by feelings but by faith.

    • Praise is a choice anchored in conviction not convenience.
    • Praise is a testimony that God is in control. When we sing in difficult times we declare to our soul that God is still God and He is unshaken.

    ii. The content of our praise: Praise has a content and the content of the Psalmist praise is “the mercies of the Lord endures forever”.

    • It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed because every morning He renews His mercies towards us.
    • The mercies of God are eternal. Human mercy fades but God’s mercy is forever.
    • Every miracle, every teaching, every act of compassion is the mercy of God.
      Ps.23:6a “surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life”.

    Praise is not silent admiration but a vocal proclamation with your mouth. It silences the enemy and strengthens the church.

    Conclusion: Be practical in your approach

    • Choose to praise God daily
    • Cultivate the habit of thanking God.
    • Keep a record of God’s mercies.
    • Remember what God has done.
    • Speak of God’s faithfulness daily. Don’t be ashamed
    • Mentor the younger generation. Let every generation hear that the Lord is good.

    As you testify and inspire somebody today, may God’s mercy and faithfulness continue to be evident in your life in Jesus name, amen!!!

    MOTHER’S UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICE SERMON

    Preacher: Lady Dr. Peace Chizi-Boms

    Topics: Women of influence; Discipling with purpose and power

    Text: Titus 2:3-5, 7-8

    As women and men of influence, we have not been called to live or behave anyhow. God has called us to be instruments of discipleship mentoring nations and generations.
    Influence means the capacity to have an effect on the character development and behavior of someone or something.
    A woman of influence is someone that embraces a dynamic role across different areas of life or fields of endeavor going beyond her personal drive for a meaningful change to mentor others and to advocate for societal change. It is far above prestige and power.

    To be a woman/man of influence, you must possess certain qualities:

    • She is a teacher of good conduct.
    • She is not addicted to strong wine.
    • She loves her husband and children dearly. Influence starts from home.
    • She is hardworking and tidies her home
    • She is kind and submissive to her husband. Honour your husband and children.
    • She is a woman of integrity
    • Her words edifies and brings peace to the hearer.
    • She is a role model.

    Learn to appreciate and love one another as husband and wife. Marriage is all about friendship.
    As a man of influence, value your wife and show your love to her. Be supportive and kind.

    Lessons from the life of Deborah
    (Judges 4:1-10, 5:6-7)

    • She was dependable and bold
    • She was just and equitable
    • She was a great encouraged
    • She was an intercessor.

    Benefits of being a woman of influence:

    • She is victorious in her battles (Judges 4:22-24)
    • Her home is blessed and fulfilled (Ruth 4:13, Prov. 31:10-31).
    • Her children are responsible (2Tim.1:5)
    • She brings about positive change in her home and society.

    Let us x-ray our lives in line with the word of God and adjust to God’s standard to make influence in our world.
