Christ Faith Tabernacle International

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams continues the post-resurrection reflection, reminding the church that Jesus remained on earth 40 days after rising before His ascension—just as key “40” moments mark Scripture (Moses, Elijah, and Jesus’ wilderness testing). He anchors the teaching in Acts 1:1–3, stressing that Jesus did before He taught, and that authentic Christianity must be seen in a transformed life, not merely spoken words (Matthew 7:21). From there, he highlights Christ’s final focus during those 40 days: the kingdom of God and the absolute necessity of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4–5).Apostle then lands on Jesus’ final marching orders: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel” (Mark 16:15), because the Lord promises to accompany His witnesses with power (Mark 16:20). He emphasises that the "accompanying signs" Jesus promised is for ALL those who believe”: authority over demons, tongues, healing, and divine protection (Mark 16:17–18). Finally, the sermon lifts our eyes to the Church’s living hope: Jesus will return the same way He ascended (Acts 1:9–11).

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams proclaims, “He is risen!” and unpacks what Christ’s resurrection means for believers now. He draws from Revelation 22:12–17 to warn that going to church is not the same as going to heaven—only those who “wash their robes” and turn from sin will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, while persistent rebellion leaves people outside. He then points to the sure hope of the Church: Jesus will return in the same way He ascended (Acts 1:9–11), and prays that anything that could hinder your rapture-ready life would be broken off you. Moving into Matthew 28:1–6, he highlights the moment heaven intervened—an angel descended, an earthquake shook the ground, and the stone was rolled away and sat upon as a sign that no power could reverse God’s victory.Apostle then brings the message home with the believer’s inheritance: the same resurrection power has not disappeared—it now lives in every true Christian by the Holy Spirit. He anchors this in Colossians 1:13–14 (rescued from darkness and forgiven) and then declares the core promise: “If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you… He will also give life to your mortal body” (Romans 8:11). He teaches that this power heals, restores, and produces authority—signs follow believers (Mark 16:17–18)—but the “rules of engagement” are clear: we must live by the Spirit, not by the sinful nature (Romans 8:1–14).

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams continues the journey through the final days of Jesus Christ, reminding the church that Christ not only taught—He also did (Acts 1:1). From the parable of the vineyard labourers to the thief on the cross, he highlights the mercy of God: no one is beyond redemption, and eternal life is granted by choice and repentance, not by how long someone has “looked religious” (Luke 23:39–43). He also warns of the spiritual danger of unforgiveness, urging believers to release offences quickly—because unforgiveness harms the one who holds it and can rob a person of heaven’s rewards (Psalm 24:3–5).Apostle Alfred then lays out four things the cross did for us, anchoring them in Colossians: (1) The cross rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of God’s Son (Colossians 1:13–14). (2) The cross forgave us all our sins—fully and completely—making us alive with Christ (Colossians 2:13). (3) The cross cancelled every written code and regulation that stood against us, nailing it to the cross (Colossians 2:14). (4) The cross disarmed principalities and powers, making a public spectacle of them and triumphing over them (Colossians 2:15).

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams continues unpacking the final week of Jesus Christ, calling the church to become rooted believers who don’t merely read Scripture, but study it until the Word “dwells richly” within them. He returns to Jesus’ teaching on faith and authority—reminding us that if we truly believe, we can operate in the same spiritual confidence Christ modelled (Matthew 21:21–22; John 14:12–14). From there, he reinforces a simple but powerful Kingdom pattern: Ask, Seek, Knock—with heaven’s assurance that whoever asks receives, whoever seeks finds, and whoever knocks will have the door opened (Matthew 7:7–8). He illustrates this with the persistent widow (Luke 18:1–8) and charges believers to cultivate disciplined spiritual habits that produce real results—because the Word in your heart is your reference point for faith, prayer, and victory (Joshua 1:8).Apostle Alfred Williams then widens the lens to end-time readiness, urging the church not to be distracted by online predictions and date-setting, but to hold fast to Scripture and discernment—“watch out that you are not deceived” (Matthew 24:4; cf. Matthew 24:6–14). He teaches that trials, persecution, and global shaking must not produce panic, but maturity—Christians who can stand, share, serve, and still preach the gospel even under pressure (Matthew 24:13–14). He closes with a pastoral call to pray for illumination and steadfastness, echoing Paul’s prayer that God would encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word (2 Thessalonians 2:13–17). 

In today’s sermon from the Jesus Seminar, Apostle Alfred Williams calls the church back to disciplined devotion—studying the Word daily and becoming doers, not just hearers. He charges every believer to take Scripture seriously as the key to clarity, success, and spiritual strength, anchoring this in Joshua 1:8: keeping the Word in your mouth, meditating on it, and doing it. Flowing from Palm Sunday’s theme (“Who is your rider?”), he moves into Jesus entering the temple and driving out merchandising, declaring that the house of God must remain a house of prayer—not a marketplace (Matthew 21:12–13). This sermon is a direct call to reverence God’s house, cultivate a real prayer life, and build a “Bethel” at home where God’s presence is welcomed daily.Apostle Alfred then highlights Jesus’ prayer habits—often withdrawing to lonely places, rising early while it was still dark, and at times praying all night before major decisions (Luke 5:16; Mark 1:35; Luke 6:12). He shows the fruit of that devotion: power flowing so strongly that people pressed in just to touch Jesus and were healed (Luke 6:18–19). Turning to the withered fig tree, he teaches that faith produces authority—not wishing, but speaking: if you believe and do not doubt, you can command mountains to move (Matthew 21:18–22). The sermon closes with a bold reminder of Jesus’ promise: “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing” and “You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it” (John 14:12–14; Matthew 7:7–8). This is your invitation to stop tolerating what God never authorised—pray, believe, speak, and watch the name of Jesus turn your faith into visible results.
