Christ Faith Tabernacle International

In Part 1 of the Marriage Seminar at Christ Faith Tabernacle, Apostle Alfred Williams reminds the whole church that marriage teaching isn’t only for “those about to wed” — it’s for every believer, because strong families build a strong church. Through the timeless hymn “God Give Us Christian Homes”, he paints a clear picture of what a godly home should look like: a home where the Bible is loved and taught, where God’s will is sought, and where children are led to know Christ. With a sober but loving urgency, he repeats a key truth: you only have one life and it has no duplicate — so choose wisely, seek counsel, and aim for a marriage you can genuinely enjoy, as Scripture says: “Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love…” (Ecclesiastes 9:9).Grounding everything in Scripture, he traces marriage back to God’s design (Genesis 2:18–25; Genesis 1:26–28): a covenant union between a man and a woman, with purpose, fruitfulness, and responsibility — not pressure, confusion, or regret. He teaches that a spouse is meant to be a suitable helper (Genesis 2:18), that marriage is a covenant witnessed by God (Malachi 2:14), and that unity is an obligation that must be guarded (Matthew 19:3–6). This seminar lays the foundation for partnership, raising children in security, and honouring marriage for the good of society — while warning against casual choices that can lead to lifelong pain. Let this episode steady your heart and sharpen your discernment: before you say “I do”, let heaven settle your “yes” — and may your home become the kind of altar that burns, glows, and lights the way for generations.

Apostle Alfred Williams calls believers back to the only rightful boast: Jesus Christ—not money, status, houses, or any material measure of “success” (cf. Jeremiah 9:23–24; Galatians 6:14). He urges the church to pursue real spiritual substance: encounter, intimacy, and a life led by the Holy Spirit. The central declaration is uncompromising: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free” (Galatians 5:1), and that freedom is not partial—it is total, signed and sealed, meant to produce boldness, clarity, and victory in everyday life.Apostle explains that grace doesn’t excuse compromise—it trains us to say “no” to ungodliness and worldly passions (Titus 2:11–12), while we live with expectancy for Christ’s return (Titus 2:13–14). Apostle challenges believers to stop re-yoking themselves to fear, intimidation, condemnation, and sinful patterns, and instead live by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16)—rejecting the works of the flesh and embracing the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:19–23). This sermon is a call to stand firm, stay clean, and stay close—because when you walk in Spirit-led freedom, you don’t just “cope” with life… you overcome it, and heaven recognises your step. 

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams leads the church into February with a joyful celebration of God’s faithfulness—marking nearly 36 years since the Lord first gave him the vision for the house, and reminding us that this is an apostolic and prophetic ministry built by God’s direction, not human “launching” (Acts 13:1–3). He announces the Scripture of the month as Acts 1, with a clear emphasis on Acts 1:8: receiving power by the Holy Spirit and becoming Christ’s witnesses.
 
The heart of the message is a call to maturity: God has placed grace on every believer, but it must be developed and expressed in a life “worthy of the calling” (Ephesians 4:1–3). Apostle contrasts a Spirit-ruled life with a disobedient life that leaves people vulnerable (Ephesians 2:1–3), urging humility, gentleness, unity, and the ministry of comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3–4), while stirring faith with testimonies of healing and deliverance that prove God still acts in power. He closes with a holy insistence that the Kingdom is not talk, but power (1 Corinthians 4:20), and that God can be found when we seek Him wholeheartedly (Jeremiah 29:12–14).

In this Overcomer’s Night message, Apostle Alfred Williams sets the tone for February with a powerful call to legacy and impact—not merely attending church, but getting actively engaged in serving and transforming the community. Using Isaiah 60:1–3 (“Arise, shine…”) and John 1:5 (“the light shines in the darkness…”), he charges believers to stop hiding their gifts and to lift their light where it can be seen—because nations are drawn to God’s light on His people. It’s a timely wake-up call to act with urgency, make the decision, and move from intention to obedience—without folding your hands another month.He then confronts fear head-on, teaching that a born-again believer is not at the mercy of curses, charms, or spiritual intimidation—because God’s word cannot be reversed (Numbers 23:19–20) and the Lord turns curses into blessings because of His love (Deuteronomy 23:5). From Ephesians 2:1–3 and 1 John 5:19, he explains the difference between life under the world’s influence and life in Christ—declaring “no weapon formed against you shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17) and reminding us there is no condemnation in Christ (Romans 8:1–2). This sermon will stir your faith to stop chasing fear-based “deliverance” and start standing on covenant truth—because as you step into February, your light isn’t meant to flicker… it’s meant to blaze, and the world will have no choice but to notice.

Apostle Alfred Williams declares that two gifts are being released over God’s people in 2026: mercy and comfort—mercy that carries you into God’s promises, and comfort that equips you to comfort others (2 Corinthians 1:3–4). With faith for healing and deliverance, he reminds us that the house of God is a place where the Lord saves, heals, and restores, and he prays for every burden and infirmity to be driven out by the power of Christ. This is a prophetic call to receive the Father’s compassion afresh, so your life becomes an answer to someone else’s cry.Jesus is coming again, and the Church must be ready—walking in obedience and keeping our “robes” clean (Revelation 22:12–14), while recognising the intensity Jesus described in the last days (Matthew 24:21–22). Apostle Alfred Williams charges believers to rise into leadership and influence—salt and light in society—standing on God’s promise to make you “the head and not the tail” (Deuteronomy 28:12–13), and to increase in understanding in a world where knowledge is accelerating (Daniel 12:4). This sermon will stir your faith, sharpen your focus, and call you to serve God wholeheartedly—because mercy has found you, comfort is covering you, and 2026 is demanding your witness… so don’t just survive this year—shine in it.

In this sermon, Reverend Oma Williams teaches that Jesus is “the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24), and that wisdom isn’t distant. Reverend Oma explains that if we truly want to increase this year, we must learn to recognise and obey the voice of wisdom, because God’s people are meant to follow His voice—not the voice of strangers (John 10:27). We identify three dangerous mindsets that resist God: the simple (uninformed and easily influenced), the mockers (scoffers who sneer at correction), and the fools (those who reject right thinking and godly behaviour), warning that complacency and pride can quietly shipwreck one's life.
 
We discuss Samson’s downfall through gullibility (Judges 16), Rehoboam’s costly rejection of wise counsel (1 Kings 12), the rich fool who hoarded without eternity in view (Luke 12:16–21), and the prodigal son’s collapse before repentance (Luke 15:13–17). She also highlights how mockery and spiritual arrogance are never harmless (2 Kings 2:23–24; Nehemiah 2:19; Luke 16:14), and contrasts foolish pride with the God-given wisdom placed in mankind—able to “tunnel through the rock” and bring hidden treasures to light (Job 28:1–11), while the ostrich is used as a striking picture of careless pride (Job 39:13–19). This sermon is a call to maturity: choose wisdom, fear the Lord, and stay teachable—because when you listen, your life doesn’t just improve… it shines, and people will see the difference and be drawn to God.

Apostle Williams urges the church to become intentional disciples in 2026—starting with being taught so we can also teach others (2 Timothy 2:2). Jeremiah 29:11–13 reminds us that God’s plans to prosper us are discovered through a real relationship: calling on Him, seeking Him, and finding Him with our whole heart. This is the year to sharpen your spiritual “mental capacity” through the Word (Romans 12:2), to refuse mediocrity, and to position yourself to hear God clearly—because His sheep hear His voice (John 10:27).
 
Building on the prophetic theme of increase, he declares Isaiah 54:2–3 as a practical mandate: enlarge, stretch, do not hold back, and strengthen your stakes—preparation always precedes expansion. He challenges us to let go of the past without living in it (Isaiah 43:18–19), to stand confident that no opposition can overturn what God has determined (Isaiah 14:24–27), and to commit afresh to serving Jesus wholeheartedly (Ephesians 6:10–11).

As Apostle continues the prophetic charge for “2026: Your Year of Increase”, he lays down a vital foundation: expectation. Anchored in Isaiah 54:3, Apostle declares that this is a year of expansion—spreading out to the right and to the left—where opposition will not overcome God’s people. But alongside increase comes shaking: the Lord will shake kingdoms and systems, bringing equity and justice, while the Church remains unshaken. In the midst of global uncertainty (including financial turbulence), the message is clear—this is not a year for casual Christianity, but for wholehearted alignment with God’s word and will.Turning to Proverbs 8:17–21, Jeremiah 29:12–13, and Psalm 112:1–6, Apostle teaches that prosperity is not a gimmick and not merely the product of fasting—rather, it is a covenant promise tied to loving God, seeking Him, walking in righteousness, and fearing the Lord. He explains that God’s riches, honour, enduring wealth and a “full treasury” are attached to righteous living and wise stewardship (Deuteronomy 28:12), with blessings that extend beyond you to your children and generations. The sermon closes with a piercing call to generosity, justice, and obedience—because when darkness covers the world, light still dawns for the upright (Psalm 112:4).

Apostle Williams opens 2026 with a father’s charge to the house: God is raising “eyes” and “watchmen” in His Church, and this year God will clearly distinguish those who truly serve Him from those who do not (Matthew 7:21). With a sober warning from 1 John 2:15–17, he exposes how distraction, compromise, and the pull of secular culture can drain devotion, urging believers to turn their gaze back to Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). He calls for holiness in how we live and present ourselves, reminding us we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14) and that the enemy’s agenda is always to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).
 
Declaring “2026: Your Year of Increase”, Apostle Williams anchors the promise in Isaiah 54:3—spreading out to the right and left, dispossessing the enemy, and possessing what God has allotted—alongside the vision of “a city without walls” and the Lord Himself as a wall of fire and glory (Zechariah 2:4–5). He teaches that increase is protected by reverence and obedience (Psalm 34:7), and that God wants believers to live by revelation—encountering Him through prayer, the Word, and the awesomeness of His house (Genesis 28:11–22). This sermon is both a warning and a weapon: cut off what dims your love for God, build your altar again, and step into the expansion He has already spoken—because the doors of 2026 aren’t just opening… they’re waiting for your faith to walk through.
