• in pursuit of GOD

  • discovering PURPOSE

  • maximizing POTENTIAL

  • impacting LIVES

The pursuit of God represents the way of life we hunger after as a church, a way of life in which God’s guidelines for wise living, as documented in the Bible, form the basis of everything we do.

Our goal is to emulate Christ, so that we can also be a gift to a world in need.



Just as a tool cannot decide its function, a created being cannot determine the reason for its existence.

We believe in the importance of each individual and encourage an environment in which anyone can be set on the path to discover the role they were designed to fill.




Each person is designed to do something a lot better than most, and the strength of the body lies in the strength of its individual parts.

It is in the maximisation of these innate talents and skills that mankind can have a positive and lasting impact the world.




We are committed to practical Christianity, where our pursuit, purpose and potential are used to enhance the lives of others.

Locally or in the international community, we desire to play our part in easing burdens on those less fortunate than ourselves.





Verse of the Day

Psalm 42:8  "Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life."

SPIRITUAL CHECK UP OR EXAMINATION

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?”2 Corinthians 13:5

May I have the pleasure to welcome you to September 2017, with the theme SELF EXAMINATION.

When I turned fifty recently, I was invited by my doctor for medical checks. The same thing happened when I turned forty. Once every year, I take my car for an MOT (a test that all UK road vehicles more than three years old have to pass each year in order to prove that they are safe to drive). Even here in London, I have had to invite an expert for a termite check in our home. And most times, I also conduct a check on my bank accounts to see if there is a ‘foreign’ transaction. I am made to understand too that these checks could save us from a lot of big problems. For example, in the case of cancer, I read that there are some signs of cancer that when detected early could save or prolong life. These signs are: unusual bleeding or discharge; a sore throat that refuses to heal; a lump or thickening on the breast; lasting indigestion or difficulty in swallowing; any  change  in a  wart or mole on your body; persistent change in bowel or bowel habit; and persistent cough or hoarseness.

Similarly, as Christians, we need to examine or carry out periodic Spiritual checks to see if we are still in the faith as Paul referred to in 2 Corinthians 7:5 or not. The truth of the matter is that we could be dying spiritually and yet not know. Just as there are symptoms of cancer, so also there are symptoms for Spiritual decay. What I intend to do in this

 write up is to look at such symptoms of Spiritual death and the way out if we are affected. As true children of God, we must be interested in the state of our Spiritual health too. No one wants to die talk-less of dying of cancer, especially when one is aware of the symptoms early. Be that as it may, Spiritual death is more dangerous and problematic than physical or death through cancer.

“And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.”Revelation 3:1 KJV

The following infographics explain it all.

 Once you detect any of these signs, do something before it is too late. Once you miss Heaven, you cannot miss hell. Just as you would ordinarily go to your doctor if you detect any of the cancerous symptoms, so also I recommend strongly you go to your maker GOD, when you detect any of the signs of dying spiritually.
