June Victory Night

Apostle Alfred Williams calls the church to wholehearted worship and spiritual urgency—because God is distinguishing those who truly serve Him, and time is not guaranteed (John 4:23). He teaches that the Holy Spirit removes confusion and brings direction, so believers must protect their desire and pursue what Scripture commands: present your body as a living sacrifice, renew your mind to discern God’s will (Romans 12:1–2), and seek the deep things God has already revealed by His Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:9–12). He warns against fear-based words and false prophets, giving a clear test: true prophecy strengthens, encourages and comforts, building the church (1 Corinthians 14:3–5, 12).

The Gift of Prophecy & Tongues (Pt.2)

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams calls the church into deeper hunger for the Holy Spirit, urging believers to worship with full focus—hearts engaged, distractions shut out—so the Word isn’t stolen from us (cf. Mark 4:15). He teaches that spiritual gifts are not casual add-ons, but are pursued with clean hearts and genuine desire: “Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts” (1 Corinthians 14:1). From Romans 12:1–2, he explains that living as a holy sacrifice and renewing the mind are not optional extras—they position us to discern God’s will and move in the prophetic chambers with clarity, purity and power.Apostle then breaks down the purpose and advantage of tongues: when a believer speaks in tongues, they speak directly to God, uttering mysteries in the Spirit (1 Corinthians 14:2), building themselves up while their spirit prays (1 Corinthians 14:4, 14–15). He charges the church to pray both in the Spirit and with understanding, and to seek interpretation—because tongues with interpretation becomes prophecy that strengthens, encourages, and comforts the church (1 Corinthians 14:3; Ephesians 6:18; Jude 1:20).

The Gift of Prophecy & Tongues

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams teaches that the outpouring of the Spirit was promised for all God’s people—so that sons and daughters would prophesy (Joel 2:28). He explains that prophecy is not guesswork or hype, but mysteries revealed by the Holy Spirit—often through dreams and visions—and he anchors this in Jesus’ words that the Spirit of truth will guide us into all truth and tell us what is yet to come (John 16:12–13). This sermon is also a sober correction: believers must stop chasing “a word” from people, and learn to hear God for themselves, because a Church that cannot discern will be easily misled and frustrated.Apostle then opens up the gift of tongues and its purpose: when you speak in tongues you speak to God, uttering mysteries in the Spirit (1 Corinthians 14:2), and you edify (build up) yourself—strengthening your faith and spiritual authority (1 Corinthians 14:4; Jude 1:20). He urges believers to pray in the Spirit and in understanding (1 Corinthians 14:15; Ephesians 6:18), and to seek interpretation, because tongues with interpretation becomes prophecy—meant to strengthen, encourage, and comfort the Church (1 Corinthians 14:3). 

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is yours

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams teaches that the believer’s faith must be governed by what Jesus said, not by denominational opinions—because the Lord’s instruction is clear: wait for the Father’s promise and receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you (Acts 1:4–8). He explains three distinct experiences of the Spirit: receiving the Holy Spirit at salvation, being baptised in the Holy Spirit, and being filled with the Holy Spirit—each opening a deeper realm of spiritual capacity and effectiveness (Romans 10:9–10; Acts 1:4–5).Apostle Alfred then explains that speaking in tongues is evidence of baptism of the Holy Spirit, because in Scripture the Spirit came, filled believers, and “they began to speak” as He enabled them (Acts 2:1–4). He anchors this in the Gentiles’ experience at Cornelius’ house (Acts 10) and the disciples at Ephesus (Acts 19:1–6), urging every believer to become thirsty for God—so that “rivers of living water” flow from within, bringing boldness, deliverance, and prophetic utterance for the blessing of others (John 7:37–39; Mark 16:17).We then finish with a short Q&A to round up this teaching. We hope you are blessed.

How to receive power - Pentecost Sunday

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams welcomes the church to Pentecost Sunday and declares a Holy Ghost Convention season—calling believers to take the Holy Spirit seriously as the Father’s promised gift (Acts 1:4–5). He teaches that the gifts of the Spirit are released when the Spirit manifests “for the common good” (1 Corinthians 12:7), and challenges every believer to stop living beneath their inheritance: if we die without profiting others through what God placed in us, what will we say to Jesus?Apostle Alfred then makes the invitation plain: the Holy Spirit is for all who believe, and baptism in the Holy Spirit releases power, bold witness, and supernatural language (Mark 16:17; Acts 1:8). He urges the church to tarry—to worship, wait, and listen—because those who truly want to hear God must make room for Him, not rush past His voice. Anchoring the promise in Jesus’ own words—“If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink” (John 7:37–39)—he declares that believers are meant to carry rivers of living water, bringing life and healing wherever they go (Acts 2:1–4). This sermon is a call to desire, to surrender, and to receive: come thirsty, ask boldly, and let the river flow—because when the Holy Ghost fills you, you won’t just attend church… you will become the evidence that Jesus is alive.

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams charges the church not to miss God’s “time of visitation” in May, reminding us that from the moment of salvation the Holy Spirit lives within the believer and our bodies become His temple (1 Corinthians 6:19). He teaches that whoever you yield yourself to becomes your ruler—yield to God and the Spirit leads you; yield to sin and the enemy gains influence. Building on the morning’s teaching, he reiterates that the Holy Spirit carries the nine gifts, but for any gift to be manifested the Spirit must “come out” and rest upon the believer—hence Jesus’ command that every Christian must seek and receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8; Luke 11:13).He then lays out the month’s spiritual posture: “Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts” (1 Corinthians 14:1). He explains that your destiny and God’s prepared answers are revealed through the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:9–12), and urges believers to stop prioritising only physical outcomes when Holy Spirit carries everything God can do. He highlights how faith triggers healing and miracles (Acts 3:6–16), distinguishing between faith in the name of Jesus and the faith that comes from His name—a transcendent faith that empowers bold action beyond natural reasoning. The sermon closes as a call to holy living, unity, and courage: refuse fear, present your body as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1), guard your tongue, and pursue the Spirit with hunger—because in this season God is calling the church higher, and the Holy Spirit is ready to mark your life with power.

Three arms of God's operation in the church: 1. Holy Spirit

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams teaches that May is a month of fresh focus on the Holy Spirit, because the Church cannot fulfil it's potential through enthusiasm alone—only through understanding and partnership with the Spirit (Acts 1:8). From 1 Corinthians 12:4–6, he explains the three arms of God’s operation in the Church. He emphasises that the Holy Spirit is God’s present Administrator on earth—revealing God’s mind, guiding believers, and enabling the church to move beyond nominal Christianity into Spirit-led living and true manifestation (1 Corinthians 2:9–12).He then grounds the teaching in 1 Corinthians 12:7–11, showing that the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the common good, and walks through the nine gifts—wisdom, knowledge, faith, gifts of healing (noting the plural), miraculous powers, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues, and interpretation (1 Corinthians 12:7–11). To illustrate how these gifts function in real life, he opens Acts 3:1–16—Peter and John at the Beautiful Gate—showing that the power that lifts the cripple is not “personal greatness”, but faith in the name of Jesus and the faith that comes through Him.

Eagerly Desire the Holy Spirit and Spiritual Gifts

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams teaches that stepping into a new month is a spiritual moment: earth should “inquire of heaven” and believers should ask, “Holy Spirit, what are You saying about this month?” Drawing from Psalm 19:1–4 and Romans 8:14, he calls the church to live as Spirit-led people, interpreting what happens in life through God’s perspective rather than noise, confusion, or fear. He emphasises that spiritual growth and the word-of-knowledge lifestyle begin with a posture of hunger—turning your heart to understand, as Daniel did (Daniel 9), and building your life on Scripture, not guesswork or emotions.Apostle then anchors the key instruction for May: “Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts” (1 Corinthians 14:1). He explains that what God has prepared for those who love Him is revealed by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:9–10), because the Spirit searches the deep things of God and knows His thoughts (1 Corinthians 2:10–11). Therefore, believers can understand what God has freely given them—wisdom, direction, peace, provision, and insight—through the Spirit who lives within them (1 Corinthians 2:12). He closes by linking May’s theme to transformation “from glory to glory” by the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18) and reminding the church that angels are ministering spirits sent to serve those who inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14)—so fear has no place in the believer’s life.

The Power of the Cross

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams begins a focused teaching series on the power of the cross—running through to Pentecost—because ignorance is one of the enemy’s strongest weapons against God’s people (Hosea 4:6). He confronts popular but destructive teachings that trade on fear (including “generational curses” and other sensational doctrines), insisting that true prosperity is not a money-hype scheme, but the work of Christ in a believer’s life. Apostle calls the church back to knowledge, maturity and biblical thinking—so believers stop seeking “power” from liars when salvation already carries divine power.This sermon is anchored in Colossians 1:13–14: God rescued us from the dominion (jurisdiction) of darkness, translated us into the kingdom of His Son, and granted redemption and forgiveness of sins. From there Apostle explains spiritual “jurisdiction” through Ephesians 2:1–6—we once lived under the ruler of the air, but God, rich in mercy, made us alive, raised us up, and seated us with Christ in heavenly places—meaning Satan has no legal authority over a born-again believer. This is reinforced further in Galatians 5:1 and John 8:36: Christ has already set us free, so submitting to fear-based “deliverance” doctrine is stepping back into bondage. Finally, he addresses the often-misquoted curses passage in Exodus 20:3–6, showing it applies to those who hate God, while God promises covenant mercy to a thousand generations of those who love Him. The sermon closes as a clear call to repentance and clean living: come to Jesus sincerely, reject darkness, stand firm in grace—and let the cross settle your identity once and for all: you are redeemed, you are free, and you are not under any curse

The Month of Transformation

Apostle Alfred Williams declares May as the Month of Transformation, anchoring the promise in 2 Corinthians 3:16–18: when anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is removed; where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty; and believers are transformed “from glory to glory”.Apostle then confronts a major spiritual misconception: the idea that a born-again believer still needs “deliverance”. With conviction, he declares that this teaching produces bondage, because Christ has already set the believer free—“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36), and “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free… stand firm” (Galatians 5:1). The sermon closes as a faith declaration for the new month: turn to the Lord, let every veil lift, refuse every yoke of bondage, and stand in the liberty Jesus purchased.
