The obligation of the Church

What are the true responsibilities of the Church—and of every believer within it? In this deeply reflective sermon, Apostle Williams explores the divine obligations tied to salvation, beginning with the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, who gives life to our mortal bodies (Romans 8:11). He explains that knowledge of this truth becomes kinetic power when applied. Belonging to the Church of the Living God comes with sacred duties that must be fulfilled in this lifetime, as they end only at death, which he describes as the believer’s true entrance into eternal life. Special responsibility is placed on shepherds, whom Jesus entrusts to lead others into the Church and feed them spiritual truth at the proper time (Matthew 24:45), with strict accountability for neglect. The Church’s ultimate purpose, Apostle affirms, is to prepare souls for eternity.
 
A large part of the message is devoted to the essential power of prayer. Believers are called to be “watchmen” who pray continually, day and night, as commanded in Isaiah 62:6 and Luke 18:1. Apostle Williams outlines key biblical hours of prayer—the third hour (9 a.m.), sixth hour (12 p.m.), and ninth hour (3 p.m.)—and points to Jesus as the perfect example, who often withdrew to pray, sometimes all night (Luke 6:12). He asserts that consistent prayer renders Satan powerless and unlocks the supernatural authority given to believers (Mark 16:16). Prayer, he teaches, is the channel through which the Holy Spirit—the Spirit of Truth—guides us into all truth (John 16:12) and through which God answers and reveals hidden things (Jeremiah 33:3). The sermon ends with a warning against unbiblical practices like "anointed soap" or imported spiritual help, affirming that the true and living God requires only our voice—because heaven is listening.

The works of the Holy Spirit

What does it truly mean to walk in resurrection power? In this sermon, Apostle Williams explores the profound role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer, teaching that this power is not accessed through striving or fasting, but through relationship. Drawing from Romans 8:11, he explains that the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in us—giving life to our mortal bodies, enabling us to resist temptation, and empowering us to live fully for God. This Holy Spirit is also God’s seal upon every believer, the guarantee of our eternal inheritance, confirming our identity and destiny in Christ. Apostle stresses that this is not theory but daily reality: the Holy Spirit empowers us now, not just in the life to come.
 
Apostle Williams goes on to outline the Holy Spirit’s many functions, referencing John 16:12–15 to show how He guides into all truth, reveals future things, and makes known everything Jesus received from the Father. The Holy Spirit acts as the executor of Christ’s will, making divine provision available to believers. As Romans 8:15–17 declares, He affirms that we are children of God and joint heirs with Christ—brothers of Jesus and even superior to angels, who are assigned to serve the heirs of salvation. Apostle also addresses fear, describing it as a demonic spirit countered by the Holy Spirit’s presence. Finally, he teaches that the Holy Spirit helps us pray when we don't know how, interceding according to God’s will (Romans 8:26–27). When the Spirit leads our prayers, manifestation is guaranteed. The sermon closes with a powerful call to deeper fellowship with the Holy Spirit, where true power and purpose are revealed.

The works of the Holy Spirit

What if the missing link in a believer’s life isn’t more power—but understanding how to use it? Apostle explores the transformative impact of spiritual knowledge and its vital role in Christian growth. Just as education shapes a child’s future, spiritual knowledge equips believers to fulfil their divine purpose and avoid stagnation. This isn’t simply intellectual knowledge, but spiritual insight revealed through the Holy Spirit, who authored the Scriptures. Apostle explains that knowledge is “potential power,” but only becomes effective—kinetic power—when applied. It’s through this application that believers experience innovation, manifestation, increase, and prosperity. Importantly, this power isn’t reserved for church leaders; every Christian is called to manifest Jesus in their daily lives.
 
At the centre of this empowerment is the Holy Spirit. Referencing Romans 8:11, Apostle Williams teaches that the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now dwells within believers, bringing life to their mortal bodies and enabling victory over sickness and demonic attack. He explains the Spirit’s role as God’s seal and guarantee of the believer’s inheritance (Ephesians 1:11–14), marking them as God’s own. Through Romans 8:15–17, believers are reminded that they are children of God and joint heirs with Christ—sharing not only in His suffering but also in His glory. Apostle concludes with a challenge: Christians must not merely possess this power, but use it—applying spiritual truths daily to unlock their full potential and walk in the inheritance already given to them.

The power of Resurrection

What makes the resurrection truly powerful in the life of a believer? In this sermon, Apostle unveils the central role of the Holy Spirit—the often unseen, “silent one” who is the divine force behind every spiritual manifestation. He highlights the creative and transformative power of God’s Word, referencing John 1:1–3 as the weapon through which the Holy Spirit operates. This is seen in the healing of the ten lepers in Luke, who were cleansed as they obeyed Jesus’ instruction. The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13) is also presented as the most potent prayer, with a testimony of brain cancer being healed through its repeated, faith-filled declaration.
 
Apostle Williams explains that the same Holy Spirit who descended at Jesus’ resurrection—shaking the earth and overpowering Roman guards (Matthew 28:1–4)—now lives within believers (Romans 8:11), empowering them to revive what is dead in their lives, be it purpose, health, or relationships. He urges listeners to pray for spiritual insight, referencing Ephesians 1:18, to fully grasp the hope, authority, and divine power they possess. The sermon closes with a call to godly living (Romans 8:12–13, 2 Corinthians 7:1) and deeper communion with the Holy Spirit through consistent prayer and worship, reminding believers that resurrection power is not just a historic event, but a daily reality that enables them to overcome every trial and fulfil their God-given destiny.

Resurrection Day

What does the resurrection of Jesus truly mean for the believer today? In this Resurrection Service sermon, Apostle Williams reminds listeners that one of the clearest signs of a born-again life is a deep, personal desire to know Jesus above all else. While careers and ambitions are temporary, a life devoted to Christ holds eternal value. Apostle explores the mystery of Jesus' resurrected body—capable of eating and drinking yet unaffected by natural processes—and teaches that believers will one day receive a similar, glorified body at the resurrection or rapture (1 Thessalonians 4), able to transcend time and space. He also stresses that true, godly love flows from a heart rooted in Christ, far beyond physical attraction. A sobering warning is given regarding video games, which Apostle describes as demonic tools that can open doors to spiritual possession—something no medical intervention can resolve, only God's power.
 
The message then shifts to the church’s mission following Christ's resurrection. Quoting Matthew 28:16–20, Apostle Williams lays out the call to make disciples, baptise them, and teach them to obey all of Jesus’ commands. He highlights the supernatural authority believers carry, referencing Mark 16:16–17, where signs like casting out demons, speaking in tongues, and healing the sick are promised to those who believe. Believers, he explains, are citizens of God’s kingdom (Colossians 1:14)—beyond the reach of demonic rule. He concludes by affirming that Christ Faith Tabernacle follows the example of Jesus and the early Church in practice, through daily prayer and spiritual disciplines (Acts 2:42, Luke 24:50), and encourages believers to use their careers as platforms for advancing the gospel worldwide.

Jesus Seminar: Who is Jesus? (p.3)

Who is Jesus, and what does His relationship with the apostles reveal about God’s purpose for us today? In this compelling sermon, Apostle Williams explores the divine calling of the twelve apostles, beginning with Jesus spending an entire night in prayer before selecting them (Luke 6:12). Among them was Judas Iscariot—chosen despite Jesus knowing he would betray Him. Apostle highlights Judas’s character flaws, including greed and theft, which opened the door for Satan to influence him (Matthew 27:3–4). The message draws a sharp contrast between remorse and true repentance, noting that Judas’s deep regret, though sincere, did not lead to salvation but to self-destruction (Matthew 27:3–10). Through this, listeners are reminded that regret without a turning back to God is spiritually hollow.
 
Apostle Williams teaches that betrayal, while painful, is often permitted by God to elevate the betrayed and bring about His greater purpose. He urges believers to follow Christ’s example by walking in radical forgiveness, just as Jesus did on the cross when He prayed, “Father, forgive them” (Luke 23:34). The sermon reflects on all seven last sayings of Jesus, particularly “It is finished” (John 19:30), which signifies the end of Satan’s dominion over mankind (Ephesians 2:1–4). With strong pastoral care, Apostle concludes by calling Christians to daily family prayer and spiritual discipline, encouraging them to entrust each day to the Lord and remain steadfast in faith, avoiding the pitfalls of spiritual complacency.

Jesus Seminar: Who is Jesus? (p.2)

Who is Jesus, and what did the cross truly accomplish for those who believe in Him? In this rich and insightful sermon, Apostle Williams offers a compelling exploration of Christ’s divine identity and the powerful outcomes of His sacrifice at Calvary. Drawing from Colossians, John, and Genesis, he affirms that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the Creator of all things, and the eternal force that holds all things together. As the Word made flesh, Jesus revealed grace and truth, unlike the law given through Moses, and remains the full embodiment of the Godhead, the head of the Church, and supreme over all creation. Apostle emphasises that all authority, fullness, and truth are found in Christ, who existed before time and reigns forever.
 
The sermon then unpacks three life-transforming victories secured through the cross: first, forgiveness and redemption, which brought believers out of darkness and into God’s kingdom, cancelling every past sin and refuting the concept of generational curses (Colossians 1:13, Romans 3:23–24); second, the cancellation of all legal accusations, as Jesus nailed every written ordinance and negative covenant to the cross (Colossians 2:14); and third, the disarming of demonic powers, where Jesus triumphed over every enemy, rendering them powerless (Colossians 2:15). Apostle Williams concludes by calling believers to walk in humility, following Christ’s servant-hearted example (Philippians 2:5–8), and to rest in the grace of salvation—free, unearned, and undeserved. Scriptures like John 1:1–14 and Romans 8:29 are highlighted as vital truths that affirm our identity as sons of God and co-heirs with Christ.

Jesus Seminar: Who is Jesus? (p.1)

What does it mean to truly know Jesus—not just as Saviour, but as the visible image of the invisible God? In this sermon from the Jesus Seminar, Apostle Williams unpacks the divine identity of That Man Jesus, urging believers to align their lives with His example and serve as His reflection in the world today. He opens by exploring the historical accuracy of Easter as the true commemoration of Jesus’ death, suggesting that the crucifixion likely occurred on a Thursday, not Friday. While Christmas serves as a global celebration, Apostle clarifies that Jesus’ exact birthdate is unknown, though Scripture records the season and ruling king at the time.
 
The heart of the message focuses on Christ's divinity. Drawing from Colossians 1:15–17 and John 1:1–14, Apostle Williams affirms Jesus as the Creator of all things—visible and invisible—and the Word who became flesh. Jesus, he teaches, is the full expression of God in human form, the light that darkness cannot overcome. This revelation has profound implications: those who receive Jesus become new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17), born of God with a new spiritual identity (John 1:12). Because Christ lives in believers, they carry divine authority to influence their environments—careers, institutions, even governments—through prayer and faith, trusting that nothing lies outside His control.

God's invisible qualities

What does it truly mean to carry God’s image? In this powerful sermon, Reverend Oma Williams unpacks the reality of God's invisible qualities—His divine power and divine nature—and how they are already present in every believer. Drawing from Romans 1:20, she teaches that since creation, these qualities have been clearly revealed through what God has made, leaving no excuse for rejecting Him. Referencing Psalm 139:13–16, she explains that God wove His very essence into our being at creation. Believers are encouraged to speak life into their situations just as God said, “Let there be light,” and to walk in the same divine power demonstrated by Jesus, who went about healing and doing good (Acts 10:38).
 
Reverend Williams contrasts God’s divine nature—marked by the fruits of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22–23—with the destructive tendencies of the sinful nature, such as jealousy, hatred, and immorality. Using Jesus as the ultimate example, she highlights His humility in washing the disciples' feet (John 13:1–18) and His suffering for humanity (Isaiah 1:18–19) as a call for believers to walk in meekness and godliness. She concludes by reminding listeners that they are God’s workmanship, created to do good works, and that embracing both His power and nature leads not only to a godly life but also to divine blessing.

The promises of God never fails (p.3)

What truly hinders the fulfilment of God’s promises in a believer’s life? In this episode, Apostle Williams explores the unchanging nature of God’s word, declaring that He cannot lie or change His mind (Numbers 23:19). Whatever God speaks, He fulfils—His promises are guaranteed and cannot fail. Believers, as children of Abraham through faith (Galatians 3:6–9), inherit the blessings God gave him, including divine protection from curses. Referencing Deuteronomy 23:5, Apostle affirms that God turns every curse into a blessing for His people. He strongly rejects the concept of generational curses applying to those in Christ, reminding listeners of Romans 8:1: there is no condemnation for those who belong to Him.
 
However, the sermon delivers a clear warning—while Satan cannot cancel God’s promises, a believer’s disobedience can delay or frustrate them. Through the example of Balaam and the Israelites (Numbers 22–25), Apostle Williams shows that God protected His people as long as they remained set apart, but their indulgence in immorality and idolatry led to devastating consequences. A plague claimed 24,000 lives—not because God failed, but because they walked outside of His will. Apostle concludes by urging believers to live in obedience and holiness, reminding them that God lives within them, and no curse or demonic attack can touch them—if they remain faithful to Him.
