Invites you to join us as we begin our annual month of July Prayer and Fasting. July 1st-31st, fasting from 6am-6pm (or as directed by the Holy Spirit). This year’s theme is taken from Isaiah 58:6. “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?” “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”, Ephesians 6:12. Scripture tells us that the battles that we face are not physical battles but spiritual ones. This year’s theme tackles those inherited yokes that have been passed down from generation to generation as well as the yokes we put on ourselves by engaging in iniquity. God’s word has told us that there are bands of wickedness that need to be loosed, burdens that must be undone, oppressive forces that we must be freed from as well as yokes that must be broken. Join us as we set apart the month of July to address these demonic forces to let God’s people go! MZGTI Month of July Fasting and Praying, fasting...

FASTING: THE RIGHT WAY, July 2nd, 2023

Posted by on Jun 30, 2023 in Sunday School

CENTRAL THOUGHTFasting should be done the way it is prescribed in Scriptures. HYMN: Nearer, my God, to Thee. TEXT: MATTHEW 6:16-18, ISAIAH 58 INTRODUCTION:Fasting is a time when we humble ourselves before the Lord, accompanied with prayers and study of the Word. Fasting, is a means given to believers to approach the Lord, is practiced by many denominations. However, the purpose and its usefulness have been abused by a lot of individuals intentionally and unintentionally. For instance, its effectiveness is sometimes seen by some persons in the number of days one can fast or should fast, in order to receive from the Lord. Some believers pride themselves in the number of days they and their church members have fasted. Thus, it becomes a show. Some persons tacitly believe that fasting is a must as we enter into the new year or else that year will be less glorious. Sometimes some believers fast because their church or denomination has proclaimed a fast and not because they believe that it is the will of God for them to fast. Others think it is a sure way of receiving from the Lord irrespective of the way they live. Such persons do not see anything wrong with fasting in strife, unforgiveness, immorality, corruption...

THE USE OF THE TONGUE, June 25th, 2023

CENTRAL THOUGHTWholesome use of the tongue is a measure of spiritual maturity. TEXT: JAMES 3:1-13; PSALM 34:12-13 INTRODUCTIONThe tongue is a very important part of the body, situated in the mouth. It is a very small fleshy muscular organ that facilitates speech among other things. When properly used, it brings blessings to the speaker and the hearer but when used wrongly, it can result in death, destruction, bitter envying and strife, clamor, and wars, etc.However, it is important to note that what comes out of a man depends on what he harbors in his heart because the Bible says, “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”, Luke 6:45. If the heart of an individual is filled with the word of God, the Holy spirit will undue him with godly wisdom that will enable him to control his tongue and “speak with grace”; have “sound speech that cannot be condemned”, Colossians 4:6; Titus 2:8. “For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.”, James 3:2. Wrong use of the tongue can cause a lot of problems to an individual in the home, neighborhood, and community and even in...
