THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH NIGERIA, ABAKALIKI AREA HEADQUARTERS | SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE | SUN. 18TH SEPT. 2022

SPEAKER: APOSTLE (DR.) A. A. AKAJIAKU
THEME: Standing Before God to Give Account
TEXT: Rom. 14:12
REF (S): Matt. 12:35 – 36, 1Cor. 6:9-10, Gal. 5:16, Matt. 24

NOTE:

The speaker began the ministration at about 10:04AM with an opening prayer and with the recitation of the fundamental teachings of the church. Building on the chorus “on the last day (2x) only true believers shall be raptured” the speaker emphasized that only those who live a faithful life shall be entitled to the great consummation as promised to the Church by Christ Jesus.

In a brief introduction of the ministration theme, the speaker listed out that the righteous, the ungodly and the fallen angels shall give account of their distinct activities unto God. In the contemporary world, a culprit may be guilty of murder and other sorts of crimes, but his ability to get a lawyer who has the capacity to defend his crimes to the conviction of the magistrates in the law court can lead to his release.

The speaker pointed out that this in no manner would ever happen on the day of reckoning and account before God as everyone shall have his own questions to answer. Quoting from the statement of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matt. 12:36), the speaker emphasized that every idle words that proceeds out of the mouth shall be accounted for as well.

Whatever anyone does here on Earth and the motives behind them shall be part of the accounts that will be rendered unto God. God is not only interested in what you give but also in the motive that is behind the gift. The heart of man plays a significant role in the personality of a person, with this, a good mind will birth good motives and actions but an evil mind births the contrary.

It is worthy of note that no one can argue with God on the grounds of any issue because He is all-seeing, all-knowing and He will bring every work into judgement with every secret thing whether they be good or evil.

Anyone who commits sin despite his/her membership in the church is a sinner and such persons will have their parts in the flames of hell where they will spend a condemned eternity.

God is more interested in the salvation of the soul than in its condemnation, thus, He has provided Jesus as a remedy from condemnation (Rom. 8:1).

Being in Christ goes beyond mere membership in Church, it implies walking in the spirit and not after the follies of the flesh. If you are a child of God, you must be a servant to the Spirit of God.

The speaker went on to charge the congregants to depart from all appearances of unrighteousness, admonishing them to confess their sins unto God as God is ever faithful to forgive all sins.

Using the story of King David and Bathseheba (the wife of Uriah the Hittite) as a case study, the speaker portrayed that when a man leaves what he is meant to do, to do what he is not supposed to do, such will definitely find himself drowning in sin.

It was the time of the year when Kings go for battle but David had stayed back and this had only plunged him into the sin of adultery which was unacceptable in the sight of God, thus leading to severe punishment.

Conclusively, the speaker stated clearly that heaven is the dwelling place of God and a prepared place for the prepared people. Adding that whoever is not prepared for the kingdom of God cannot get into the kingdom of God.

The speaker brought the message to its end by leading the congregants through series of self-confessing and consecrating prayers in renewal of their faith and hope in God for a rewarding eternity other than condemnation.
