High Praises

Preached by Apostle Sydney Quaye, the Global Lead Pastor of Shekinah Avenue Church. In “High Praises,” Apostle Sydney Quaye teaches that praise is more than singing, dancing, or expressing emotion—it is the execution and celebration of God’s written judgments concerning His people. From Psalm 149, he explains that the high praises of God function like a two-edged sword, enforcing the verdicts, pronouncements, privileges, and divine decisions already written in Scripture. When believers discover what God has declared concerning them, praise becomes a confident response: through our words, shouts, dancing, clapping, and singing, we celebrate what God has already decided in our favour. Apostle Sydney emphasizes one powerful written judgment: we are born overcomers. Through Christ, believers do not struggle to become victorious; victory is already part of their spiritual identity. Regardless of trials, sickness, opposition, financial difficulty, or circumstances, Scripture declares that everyone born of God overcomes the world. This message calls believers to fill their mouths with God’s written verdicts and praise Him boldly in every season, knowing that Christ has overcome the world, and in Him we are born to overcome whatever comes our way.

In “Fatherhood of God (Our Heritage Part 2),” Apostle Sydney Quaye teaches believers to make God Himself their praise and their boast. Rather than magnifying trouble, fear, spiritual attacks, or difficult circumstances, believers must magnify who God is and what His Word says. Using the examples of David, Miriam, Israel, and Rahab, he shows that praise is more than music—it is a bold declaration of confidence in God. When He becomes our praise, faith is released and we approach life convinced that God protects, delivers, provides, heals, and causes His people to overcome. Apostle Sydney further emphasizes the importance of being deeply grounded in the Word of God rather than religious practices, symbols, or fear-driven beliefs. Rahab’s testimony shows that Israel’s enemies were already terrified of the God Israel sometimes struggled to trust, reminding believers that what you are afraid of may already be afraid of you. Through Christ, we have received a true token of redemption and can confidently approach the throne of grace for help in every need—spiritual, physical, financial, emotional, or otherwise. The message calls believers to continually boast in the Lord, praise Him boldly, and live assured that He is our praise, He is our help, and His grace is available whenever there is a need.

Preached by Apostle Sydney Quaye, the Global Lead Pastor of Shekinah Avenue Church In “Fatherhood of God (Our Heritage),” Apostle Sydney Quaye teaches that believers must understand the new family and heritage they entered when they were born again. We are a chosen generation—born of God, born of the Word, born of the Spirit, born from above, born unto good works, and born unto a lively hope. Because God is our Father and source, our lives should no longer be defined by negative family cycles, earthly limitations, fear, or hopelessness. Like the prodigal son returning home, believers are called to rediscover the Father’s love and stop trying to earn through their own works what grace has already made available in the Father’s house. Apostle Sydney further emphasizes that our heritage includes access to God’s help. Scripture declares that blessed is the person who has the God of Jacob for their help, and under the New Covenant believers find this help at the throne of grace. God provides His services and resources to make what we are called to do easier and possible. Whether in family, business, ministry, health, relationships, or the future, believers can confidently expect divine assistance. This message calls us to come home to the consciousness of God as Father, embrace everything that belongs to us in Him, and live with the expectation that with the help of God, things are becoming easier and possibilities are opening before us.

Preached by Apostle Sydney Quaye, the Global Lead Pastor of Shekinah Avenue Church In “Throne of Grace Part 2,” Apostle Sydney Quaye teaches that grace is God’s help made available to the believer, providing His services and resources to make what we are called or desire to do easier and possible. Because believers are accepted in the Beloved, they can live free from fear, anxiety, and uncertainty, knowing they can always count on God’s grace. However, grace is meant to work alongside purpose and action—we must have something we are pursuing, building, starting, or accomplishing. Like Paul, we are called to labour while depending on grace, trusting that God’s help will meet us as we move forward. Apostle Sydney further reveals that believers already carry divine resources designed to help them: the blessing of God, the love of God, the faith of God, the anointing of God, and the power of God. These virtues are at work to make progress possible despite obstacles or limitations. Beyond these, God Himself has given us the Holy Spirit as our Helper, who remains with us continually. The message calls believers to stop declaring that they have no help and instead live, plan, work, and praise with confidence, knowing that God Himself is our Helper, and His grace is available for every need and every assignment.

In “Throne of Grace,” Apostle Sydney Quaye teaches that believers are established in grace—blessed, chosen, accepted, anointed, and enthroned by what God has done, not by human effort. From Ephesians 1 and Hebrews 4, he explains that understanding the glory of grace naturally produces praise. Through Christ, we can come boldly to the throne of grace, knowing that mercy and help are available for every need. Grace is God making things easier and possible by providing His services and resources, giving believers confidence to reject fear, anxiety, and the language of impossibility. Apostle Sydney highlights different expressions of this supernatural help: people will help you, angels will help you, even situations intended for evil will be turned for your good, and creation itself will work in your favour. Using examples such as Joseph, Mordecai, Jacob, and Jonah, he shows how grace can transform opposition into advancement and provide help in unexpected ways. The message calls believers to live with the consciousness that they are never without assistance: grace provides help always for every need, and the God who watches over His people will preserve their going out and coming in, now and forever.

In “Beloved Son,” Rev. Dr. Stephen N. Gapson teaches that God’s desire in redemption is to reveal Himself as Father and bring believers into the same sonship relationship revealed in Christ. Because believers have been placed in Christ, knowing Christ becomes essential to understanding who we are. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus dealt with sin, the curse, shame, sickness, and condemnation, rising victoriously as the first begotten from the dead. Everything accomplished in Christ becomes the believer’s inheritance because His identity is now our identity. Rev. Dr. Stephen emphasizes that just as the Father declared over Jesus, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased,” believers can live conscious that they too are beloved and pleasing to the Father because they are in Christ. Our confidence is therefore not based on personal performance, but on what Christ has accomplished. As God’s beloved children, we can expect heavenly advantage, provision, support, and supply, knowing the heavens are open unto us and our Father cares for us. The message calls believers to continually confess and live from this identity: I am my Father’s beloved son, and He is well pleased with me.

Jesus revealed the perfect Father—His love, care, compassion, provision, and desire for relationship with His children. Prayer therefore should not feel like a distant transaction or begging for God’s attention; it is a family conversation. Through Christ, believers have been welcomed into God’s family, qualified to share in His inheritance, and can live confidently knowing they have a responsible Father who deeply cares for them. Apostle Sydney further explains that blessing flows from fatherhood. Believers have been delivered from the power of darkness and brought into a new family where their identity and expectations are no longer determined by earthly family patterns, limitations, or negative cycles. God the Father has blessed His children, and knowing this produces freedom from fear and anxiety about the future. The message calls believers to become conscious of the family they now belong to, trust the Father with every area of life, love fellow believers as family, and live with the assurance that their heavenly Father is more than capable of giving good things, opening doors, and caring for everything committed into His hands.

Preached by Apostle Sydney Quaye, the Global Lead Pastor of Shekinah Avenue Church. In “The Father (Redemption),” Apostle Sydney Quaye teaches that one of the defining truths of the Christian faith is that God has become our Father. He is our source, sustainer, and future, and through faith in Jesus Christ we have received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry, “Abba, Father.” Understanding God’s fatherhood frees believers from fear, anxiety, and religious bondage. Rather than living afraid of tomorrow, failure, darkness, or opposition, we can live boldly and excellently, knowing that our Father cares for us and His ability is at work within us. Apostle Sydney further explains that the Father has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints and delivered us from the power of darkness. Redemption is therefore not something believers are still trying to earn through religious performance—we have already been qualified and brought into God’s family. Our responsibility is to learn how to enjoy and participate in this inheritance with thanksgiving, while resisting sickness, lack, sorrow, and everything contrary to God’s purpose. This message calls believers to live fully, freely, and without fear, continually conscious that we have a Father, we have been redeemed, and we are no longer in bondage.

Preached by Apostle Sydney Quaye, the Global Lead Pastor of Shekinah Avenue Church. In “The Father’s Love,” Apostle Sydney Quaye teaches that the Father’s love is everlasting and has made believers His beloved sons. Through the blood of Christ, we have been redeemed, called, justified, and brought into a relationship where we can cry, “Abba, Father.” Sonship means we are not praying, fasting, or waiting to earn an open heaven—we have been made for it. The Father’s love gives believers confidence to face life without fear or worry, knowing they are deeply loved, accepted, and positioned for a glorious destiny. Apostle Sydney further shows from Deuteronomy 23:5 that because God loved Israel, He turned the intended curse into a blessing. In the same way, the Father’s love assures believers that opposition, negative reports, hatred, envy, and circumstances cannot overturn His purpose for their lives. Instead of living afraid of what may go wrong, believers can rest in the Father’s love and expect Him to turn situations for their good. This message calls us to become deeply conscious of God as Father, knowing that His love brings rest, turns things around, and gives us confidence that every good and perfect gift comes from Him.

Preached by Apostle Sydney Quaye, the Global Lead Pastor of Shekinah Avenue Church. In “Christianity (Prophecy of Scriptures),” Apostle Sydney Quaye teaches that Christianity is built on the person of Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of Scripture, not on myths, traditions, or human philosophy. He explains that the strength of a believer’s faith is determined by the depth of their revelation of Christ. From the testimony of the apostles and the prophetic writings of the Old Testament, he shows that Jesus is the promised Messiah foretold by the prophets and confirmed by eyewitnesses. The Scriptures are therefore not merely historical records but God’s living testimony pointing to Christ, the sure foundation of the Christian faith. Apostle Sydney further emphasizes that the Scriptures are meant to be fulfilled in the believer’s life today. As believers know, believe, and declare God’s Word, they begin to experience its promises—guidance, healing, provision, protection, restoration, and victory. Rather than allowing circumstances or human opinions to define life, Christians are called to let “what is written” govern their thinking and expectations. This message challenges believers to become deeply rooted in the revelation of Christ and to live with the confidence that the same Scriptures fulfilled in Jesus continue to be fulfilled in those who believe.
