GLA Worship 24 with Dupsy

YOUTUBE TITLEHow do you move from simply reading the Bible to genuinely enjoying, understanding and living by the Word of God?In this powerful teaching, we explore Discipline, Delight, and Desire in Seeking God, drawing from Psalm 1 to see how God's Word shapes our choices, transforms our thinking, and positions us to walk in the fullness of His promises.God has made promises concerning our lives, but we must know His Word to apprehend, enforce and walk in the reality of what He has spoken.Through practical illustrations and biblical insights, this message explores how to develop a genuine delight in Scripture, meditate on God's Word day and night, recognise the distractions that pull us away from His purpose and understand our seasons without comparing our journey with others.

What does it take to get back to winning ways?In this message, we explore the fundamentals of winning—believing God's Word, seeing life's challenges from a Kingdom perspective, taking action in faith, and refusing to give up when opposition comes.Through the story of Nehemiah, discover how to see beyond your present circumstances, receive God's strategy for the battle, and stay the course until the work is finished.When you learn to see through God's eyes, the mountains in front of you no longer determine what is possible.

What do you do when what you are facing seems impossible?There are moments when circumstances, human ability, and everything around us can make a situation look completely hopeless. But Scripture reminds us that what is impossible with men is possible with God.This message is a reminder that God is still the God who makes a way where there is no way, brings rivers into deserts, provides where there is insufficiency, and brings life where something appears dead.The answer to our impossibility is not first an outcome. It is a person—Jesus Christ.Drawing from Scripture and the stories of Moses, Abraham and Sarah, Mary, and the Israelites at the Red Sea, this message explores what it means to trust God's ability when we cannot see how He will accomplish what He has promised.Sometimes God's answer is not to reveal a road that already exists. Sometimes He makes a road where there was none.The question is not whether the situation looks impossible. The question is whether we will trust the God who is able to do what we cannot.

What does it really mean to have a Christian marriage?In this message, we continue the Understanding the Basics series with “Understanding the Fundamentals of Christian Marriage.” Marriage is more than two people choosing to live together. It is a covenant relationship in which husband and wife learn to love, serve, forgive, grow, and keep choosing one another—with Christ at the centre.Drawing from Scripture, this teaching explores the foundations that should shape a Christian marriage: sacrificial love, mutual submission and honour, truthful and gracious communication, forgiveness, sexual faithfulness, spiritual companionship, financial unity, healthy boundaries with extended family, humility, and perseverance through trials.A Christian marriage is not one without difficulties. The difference is how those difficulties are faced—with Christ, faith, humility, forgiveness, and a commitment to continue walking together.

What does it really mean to walk in the light?In this message, we begin the Understanding the Basics series with “Walking in the Light,” exploring 1 John and what it means to truly know Jesus—not simply as a fact, but through fellowship, obedience, the work of the Holy Spirit, and a life that reflects Christ.

The glory of God, the honor we give Him, and the fear of the Lord all begin with one thing: knowing who God is.In this powerful message, we explore what it means to know God's glory, honour His majesty, and develop a reverential fear of the Lord. When we truly know Him, our perspective changes—fear gives way to faith, worry gives way to confidence, and our circumstances become insignificant compared with the greatness of God.Discover how the knowledge of God strengthens your faith, transforms your life, and positions you to experience His presence and power.

The Christian life is not simply about changing your behaviour—it begins with a renewed mind.In this powerful message, we explore Ephesians 4:17–24 and what it means to put off the old nature, be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and walk in the new nature God has created in true righteousness and holiness.Discover how renewing your mind through God's Word leads to transformation, holiness, and a new way of living in Christ.

What if what you call wisdom, caution, or self-preservation is actually fear keeping you from obeying God?In this powerful message, Pastor Adeolu Adefarasin examines the spirit of fear and reveals how fear can distance us from God, place us in bondage, and neutralise our power, love, faith, and sound judgment.Through Scripture and practical examples, this message explores how to recognise fear, discern its influence, and overcome it by running into the presence of God and trusting His Word.The Bible says, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”If fear has been holding you back from what God has called you to do, this message will challenge and encourage you to choose faith, obedience and trust in God.

The Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God—but how do we actually use it?In this powerful Bible teaching, Pastor Ademola explores the meaning of the Sword of the Spirit in Ephesians 6 and learn how believers can use the Word of God in faith, prayer, and spiritual warfare.From Genesis and the power of God's spoken Word to Jesus' victory over Satan through “It is written,” this message challenges Christians to stop simply carrying the Word and start wielding it.The Word of God is not just something to read—it is a spiritual weapon God has given you.Take up your sword. Know what is written. Believe it. Speak it. Live it.

God has given you something that the church and the world need—but are you actually giving it back to Him?In this powerful message, “A More Excellent Way,” we are challenged to examine what we do with the gifts, abilities, resources, knowledge, and opportunities God has placed in our hands.The message begins with a personal story about being called to speak at GLA after initially choosing the more convenient option of simply writing blog posts. That experience became a powerful lesson in the difference between doing what is convenient and doing what God has actually called you to do.Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12–13, Hebrews 11:4, and Matthew 22:37–39, this teaching explores why God gives different gifts to different members of the body of Christ—and why those gifts were never intended to be used solely for ourselves.Every gift has a purpose.Every ability has a responsibility.And true sacrifice is not simply giving God something—it is giving Him what He has actually asked of you.
