Rev. Nwaiwu's Sermons

CHAPTER ONE I was awakened by a loud volley of strange voices in the middle of night.  I raised my head to listen to what was happening, but I could not grasp anything due to different voices talking, weeping, and groaning all at the same time. The sound which their moving feet made indicated that all was not well. They matched to the church compound and then went to the parsonage. They knocked on the door persistently, "Sir Peterson, open the door. Sir, open, please!" they cried. I was in the church watching through one of the glass windows what was happening. None of them thought that I was sleeping in the church. If they had been kidnappers, I would have escaped from them. This was what I thought. I learnt a lesson: let no man know where you sleep in the night, for security reasons. Though I did not know exactly what had happened, I remembered what happened to one bishop. He was aroused one night and told that there was a member who was critically sick; as the man ...

Don't Share Your Secrets A sermon preached by Nigerian Minister Fortune Emerence Chinemerem Nwaiwu on 18th February, 2018. "A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence"--- Proverb 11:13 NLT Introduction A man was seen at the front of a bank inserting his ATM card into an ATM machine, and he was using his hands and body to cover where he was putting his ATM secret PIN (security code). His reason for doing that was that he did not want people to know about his PIN, to avoid being swindled or defrauded. He could tell people the bank he operates with, but he would never disclose his secret PIN to them. He knows that his PIN is a password to his blessings and a source of his livelihood. If he tells people about his secret, he could be ruined and doomed. I then remembered a man who told his son all about his ATM card PIN, and his son secretly took it to withdraw money. Thank God that the son was apprehended by police on th...

Put Yourself in Someone Else's Shoes A sermon preached by Fortune Emerence Chinemerem Nwaiwu on 11/02/2018 "Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him for He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust"-- Psalm 103:13-14 KJV. God as a father of all that dwell on Earth shows compassion to his children because He knows they are dust. There could be a time God would vent His fury on man's wickedness, but when He remembers that we are made of dust, He relents because he knows how weak any person made of dust is, capable of having many trials and sorrows. Now, as Christians, never forget to continue showing compassion to anyone, putting yourselves in their shoes---their situations, getting to know what they are passing through and the factors that are causing them to react in the manner they do. In this sermon, we shall consider two prime questions that will aid us to consider someone's else problems as paramount as ours...

GOD, REPLACE MY EVIL YEARS WITH GOOD A Sermon preached by Fortune Emerence Chinemerem Nwaiwu on 28th January, 2018 at Apostolic Christian Faith Mission, Alulu in Ngor Okpala Imo State. "Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery; replace the evil years with good"--- Psalm 90:15 NLT Moses uttered this prayer having remembered the forty years of exile in Egypt. He knew that God's children had suffered greatly, and had been afflicted severely under the yoke of enslavement. And now is a time of plea, making petitions to God, Lord, make us glad because we have been in Egypt for forty years living a life full of misery, a life that is not comfortable to us, a life of pains and grief, a life we get drowned in tears for many years. But this time, we ask you to replace all our evil years with good. Note: Your evil years shall be replaced with good, death with life, replacing poverty with riches, failure with success, infertility with fertility, sickness with good h...
