Apostle Alfred Theophilus Babatunde Williams, LLB(Hons), LLM Inter Bus. Law, MCIArb Apostle Alfred T. B. Williams was personally commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ in 1984. On 3rd March 1990, he founded Christ Faith Tabernacle (CFT) International Churches—a thriving global ministry that has raised countless leaders, planted churches across nations, and served as a prophetic voice, faithfully delivering God’s divine instruction to individuals, institutions, and governments. At the heart of CFT’s mission is a divine mandate to build overcomers for tomorrow—believers who are spiritually empowered to stand firm in their faith, walk in their God-given authority, and demonstrate the love and power of Christ. CFT is dedicated to equipping individuals with the faith, wisdom, and godly character needed to transform lives, families, and communities through the power of the Gospel. Apostle Williams is actively engaged in global evangelistic crusades, business summits, and leadership training. Through his ministry, millions have experienced salvation, the sick have been healed, and the powers of darkness have been overcome in the name of Jesus. God continues to confirm His Word with miraculous signs and wonders—including the blind receiving their sight, the lame walking, and many testifying of divine encounters through the Holy Spirit. He is widely recognised for his prophetic accuracy and apostolic authority, which have not only impacted churches but also extended into government institutions and national leadership. Apostle Williams has been invited by presidents of nations to teach on the strategic role of the Church in national development, governance, and godly leadership. In addition to his pastoral ministry, Apostle Williams has served as Chair of the Board of the African Caribbean Evangelical Alliance of Great Britain and as a board member of Liberty Counsel (USA), a Christian legal advocacy organisation. He is also the Pioneer of the Jesus City Project—a 430-acre development initiative comprising social housing, a hospital, educational institutions, leisure facilities, and commercial enterprises, all aimed at holistic spiritual and societal transformation. A respected leadership teacher and mentor, Apostle Williams is the creator of the 21st Century Leadership framework—a highly regarded resource exploring key themes such as High-Impact Leadership, Sourcing Ability and Continuity, Navigating Global Complexities, and Sustainable Leadership. His insights empower leaders across various sectors to lead with vision, excellence, and Kingdom values. Apostle Williams’ sermons are more than teachings—they are divine impartations that equip believers to build a deep, intimate relationship with God and walk in the fullness of their spiritual authority. His messages call the Church to embrace Jesus’ Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20): to make disciples of all nations, proclaim the Gospel, and advance the Kingdom of God with boldness, integrity, and love.

In a world filled with uncertainty and increasing global turmoil, what does it really mean to be righteous? In this timely sermon, Apostle Williams invites believers to re-examine their understanding of righteousness—not as a checklist of good behaviour, but as a deep, relational walk with God rooted in faith. With prophetic clarity, he links current events—like the Israel-Iran conflict and the prophesied UK revival—to the urgency of aligning with God's heart in these last days.
 
Drawing from the lives of Noah, Abraham, and Job, Apostle Williams reveals that righteousness flows not from perfection but from faith and the fear of God. He teaches that it is credited to believers as a gift, not earned by works—just as Romans 4 and Psalm 32 describe. Christ paid the full price, allowing all who believe to be called "the righteousness of God". This truth liberates believers from guilt and empowers them to walk in spiritual authority—healing the sick, raising the dead, and casting out devils—fuelled not by striving, but by faith. The message is clear: in these prophetic times, righteousness is not just a status—it is the key to manifesting God's glory on earth.

Apostle Williams addresses the critical theme of time and eternity, sounding a prophetic alarm rooted in the book of Amos—that God reveals His intentions to His prophets. Citing recent global events, including the conflict between Israel and Iran and America's swift involvement, Apostle Williams warns that these developments align with a divine revelation of a global "storm" lasting three months and concluding in September. He draws sobering parallels to the sudden passing of Pastor Josiah, whose earthly accomplishments became void in death, reminding listeners that life is fragile, time is short, and only what is done in Christ will count. The message strongly stresses readiness for the Rapture, when some will be taken and others left behind to face great tribulation, demonic manifestations, and the rise of a global leader of darkness.
 
Apostle Williams proclaims that faith in God establishes a person, while belief in God's prophet brings prosperity. He passionately teaches on the role of the Holy Spirit, referencing Joel 2:28 to affirm that every true believer is capable of prophesying and operating in supernatural power, peace, and wisdom. He urges believers to live by the Spirit, not the world, drawing on Ephesians 2:1 and Colossians. Salvation, he stresses, is urgent and freely available—Jesus washes away even scarlet sin and conforms the saved into His own likeness (Romans 8:29). Apostle Williams concludes with a compelling call to righteousness, warning that those who reject Christ now may suffer unspeakable torment later. Yet, for those who respond, there is eternal hope, divine authority on earth, and full assurance that their past is remembered no more.

What does it truly mean to operate in the power of the Holy Spirit in today’s world? Apostle explores God’s intention for all His children to function in the fullness of the Spirit’s power. Rooted in the prophecy of Joel 2:28, he reminds believers that prophesying, seeing visions, and dreaming dreams are meant to be everyday realities for those filled with the Spirit. This prophetic vision, cited again in Acts 2, is presented not as ancient history but as an ongoing promise. Apostle Williams illustrates its relevance by recounting a vision he had of a ship tossed by storms—representing global instability—which was swiftly confirmed by recent world events, including Israel’s attack on Iran and the ripple effect it had on the global economy and fuel prices. He urges believers to stay alert to world affairs and economic trends, not distracted by time-wasting entertainment, so they can perceive divine insight and walk in wisdom.
 
The message also reinforces that operating in the Holy Spirit is not a spiritual luxury, but a birthright for all born-again believers, regardless of background. Apostle Williams teaches that true success and lasting peace come from submitting to the Holy Spirit, who enables integrity and influence. On Father’s Day, he draws practical wisdom from 2 Chronicles 26, showing how King Uzziah’s success stemmed from both his father’s good conduct and the spiritual mentoring of Zechariah. He reminds listeners of the lasting impact of godly fatherhood, both earthly and spiritual, pointing to Proverbs 23:22 and Ephesians 6:4 to stress honour, discipline, and spiritual nurturing. The sermon closes with the bold encouragement that with the Holy Spirit, no believer is ever unfortunate—fortune and purpose will pursue those who walk in step with God’s Spirit.

What truly happened on the day of Pentecost—and why does it matter to believers today? In this sermon, Apostle unpacks the powerful significance of Pentecost Sunday, describing it as the day when the full power of the Father was poured out upon the church through the Holy Spirit. Citing the prophecy in Joel 2:28-29, he explains that God's Spirit was promised to all—sons and daughters, the old and the young, even servants—enabling them to prophesy, dream dreams, and see visions. This prophecy finds its dramatic fulfilment in Acts 2:1-4, where the Holy Spirit descended like a violent wind, with tongues of fire resting on each individual, resulting in everyone being filled and speaking in tongues. Apostle Williams emphasises that this was not a one-time event but the divine pattern for equipping the Church.
 
He passionately asserts that the Holy Spirit is an indispensable necessity for every believer. Quoting Acts 1:8, he stresses that it is through the Spirit that believers receive power—to cast out devils, heal the sick, and even raise the dead, as Peter did in the Book of Acts. He shares personal testimonies of supernatural encounters and reminds listeners of Luke 3:16, where John the Baptist foretold that Jesus would baptise with the Holy Spirit and fire. Through 2 Corinthians 5:17, Apostle Williams affirms that salvation makes us new creations, reconnecting us to God's divine nature and positioning us as heirs with Christ. He concludes by urging believers to seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit through focused prayer, explaining that it brings not only spiritual transformation and boldness in witnessing, but also empowers success in one's personal and professional life.

What if you truly believed that the same power that worked in Jesus also works in you? Apostle affirms that believers are destined to operate with the same authority and power as Christ Himself. Success in any area—spiritual, academic, or business—is tied not to natural ability but to spiritual enlightenment and a relentless pursuit of deeper knowledge of God. The foundation of this power lies in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, as declared in Romans 8:11: the Spirit who raised Jesus now gives life to our mortal bodies. Referencing 2 Corinthians 3, Apostle explains that when a person turns to the Lord, the veil is lifted, allowing them to reflect God’s glory and be continually transformed from glory to glory.
 
Apostle Williams passionately declares that born-again believers are “the same as Jesus”, referencing John 17:18—“As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” Just as Jesus was anointed to do good and heal all under the power of the devil (Acts 10:38), so are His followers. Citing John 14:12, he reminds believers that they are not only able to do the works Jesus did but even greater—if they walk by faith. This authority is activated through the spoken word: speaking life, declaring truth, and commanding mountains to move. Apostle underscores that, according to Romans 8:1, believers are no longer under condemnation, but under grace—free, forgiven, and empowered. The message closes with a stirring charge: stop retreating. Like Elijah in James 5, rise up, draw a line, and attack the enemy with the authority already given—by declaring what should be, not what is.

What happens when the veil is lifted from your understanding? In this sermon, Apostle Williams explores the connection between spiritual enlightenment and divine authority. Referencing Ephesians 1:18 and 2 Corinthians 3:14–18, he teaches that just as professional excellence comes through continuous study, turning consistently to the Word of God unveils the heart and allows believers to reflect God’s glory. He shares a powerful personal encounter where, after asking to see a cherub, an angel appeared and revealed his life’s purpose written in a book by God—illustrating how spiritual curiosity leads to revelation and accelerated progress. Through the Holy Spirit, who brings all things to those who ask in Jesus' name, believers are called to operate in full power, just as Jesus promised in John 14:12.
 
Apostle Williams reminds listeners that the same Holy Spirit who anointed Jesus (Acts 10:38) now dwells within them, empowering them to heal the sick, cast out devils, and perform miracles (Acts 1:1, Luke 9:1, Luke 10:1–9). This authority is not limited to apostles, as even the 72 sent out by Jesus walked in power. He emphasises that this is the year of revival and the year of the righteous, where the message of Christ must become power on the lips of believers. Miracles, signs, and wonders are not for the past—they are for now. Apostle urges believers to obey, speak boldly in the name of Jesus, and demonstrate God’s power in the streets, just as Philip did in Acts 8:4–8. It is not anointing alone, but obedience that causes demons to flee and healing to manifest. The harvest is plentiful, and the time for God’s glory to be revealed through His people is now.

What if the power you’re waiting for is already within you? Apostle challenges believers to recognise and operate in the power of the Holy Ghost. Citing Ephesians 1:18–19, he revisits Paul’s prayer that the eyes of believers be enlightened to understand the hope of their calling and the immeasurable power available to them. He underscores Colossians 2:9, affirming that in Christ, the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily—and that same fullness has been given to believers through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Drawing on Ephesians 1:3, Apostle warns that the primary barrier to manifestation is not lack of power, but ignorance. Believers already carry every spiritual blessing in Christ, and the same strength that moved the stone from Jesus’ tomb (Matthew 28:1–8) resides within them now.
 
Apostle Williams further explores the role of the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Truth and Guide (John 16:12–13), urging believers to become attuned to His voice—often revealed through inner promptings and spiritual insight. He announces practical changes in the church to better steward time for worship and fellowship, including the introduction of printed bulletins and simplified offerings. Most significantly, he reintroduces hourly prayer, inviting every member to commit to one hour of unified intercession. When believers pray together with one heart, he declares, they generate a “super exponential” spiritual force so powerful that “Satan will hide.” The sermon concludes with a prophetic word: within seven days, signs, wonders, and divine encounters will follow those who embrace their authority in Christ and boldly manifest His glory.

What if giving to God is more than obedience—what if it's a divine contract? In this thought-provoking sermon, Apostle Williams explores the spiritual and practical significance of tithes and offerings, teaching that they form a sacred undertaking with God. Drawing from Malachi 3:10, he emphasises that this is the only command in Scripture where God says, "Test me in this." When believers faithfully bring their full tithe into God's storehouse, they are effectively investing in the work of God—becoming stakeholders in His mission. In return, God promises to open the floodgates of heaven, pour out immeasurable blessings, and protect from devourers and misfortune. Apostle Williams boldly declares that Christians should not struggle in business or career, because tithing invokes divine provision and favour.
 
However, the sermon also carries a sobering warning. Quoting Malachi 3:8, Apostle Williams explains that withholding tithes is described by God as robbing Him, and such disobedience invites a curse. He stresses the seriousness of this act, referencing Revelation to remind listeners that thieves will not inherit the kingdom of God. Just as God is faithful to bless, He is equally bound by His word to discipline disobedience. The message challenges believers to move beyond emotion and embrace giving as a covenant—a business with God in which He can neither deceive nor be deceived. Faithfulness in giving, Apostle affirms, is a visible demonstration of trust in God’s unchanging laws and a key to unlocking supernatural abundance.

What powers your faith when life feels uncertain? In this sermon, Apostle explores the vital connection between faith and hope, urging believers to operate in the power of the Holy Spirit with hearts anchored in confident expectation. Praying from Ephesians 1:18–21, he asks that the eyes of every listener’s heart be enlightened to grasp the fullness of their calling, inheritance, and the incomparably great power available to them. He explains that faith—the substance of things hoped for (Hebrews 11:1)—cannot function effectively without real hope. Approaching God in prayer or worship must begin not only with requests but also with thanksgiving, recognising that the power to overcome is already within us (Acts 1:8). Fasting, he teaches, is for seeking mercy—not for acquiring power believers already possess.
 
Apostle Williams goes on to highlight that praise and thanksgiving are powerful spiritual tools for unlocking manifestation. Through heartfelt worship, believers enter God’s presence, stir up faith, and invite divine intervention—where battles are won and angels move. Like Jesus in John 5, Christians are called to speak life into seemingly hopeless situations, calling things that are not as though they were. The same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead is alive within us, and Apostle reminds listeners never to be disheartened by negativity. God’s grace is sufficient, and He is able to turn every curse into a blessing. As John 4:23 affirms, God seeks worshippers who honour Him in spirit and in truth—those who walk in hope, faith, and power.

What does it truly mean to operate in the Holy Spirit? In this empowering sermon, Apostle Williams traces the consistent presence of the Holy Spirit throughout Scripture—from the Old Testament to the resurrection of Jesus in Matthew 28:1–8, where the angel’s appearance like lightning is seen as a manifestation of the Spirit’s power. He explains that while the Holy Spirit came upon prophets, judges, and kings like Saul and David in the Old Testament to enable supernatural exploits, the New Testament brings a profound shift: the Spirit now dwells within all who receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour. This indwelling transforms believers from spiritual depravity into a life governed by holiness, as affirmed in Colossians 1:13 and 2:13. Apostle Williams highlights that this divine presence not only forgives all sin but also empowers Christians to live by the love of God—treating others as Christ would, rather than from selfish ambition.
 
The sermon strongly connects spiritual obedience to divine blessing. Apostle Williams teaches that withholding tithes, as noted in Malachi 3:8, is considered robbing God and can obstruct a believer’s blessings. He concludes by calling Christians to awaken to the “living hope”, “riches”, and “incomparably great power” available to them through the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:18). This power is not symbolic—it is God Himself, living within. With this awareness, believers are urged to go beyond church walls: to preach the gospel boldly, heal the sick, and cast out demons, even on the streets of London. Every challenge, Apostle affirms, can be overcome by those who live fully in the Spirit’s power.
