Today, being Rev. Aliu's Birthday, he gave a short Thanksgiving rendition before delivering his sermon. In the sermon, titled BATTLES, he talks about 5 kinds of Battles we encounter in life: 1. Battles of Folly 2. Battles of Intent 3 Apportioned Battles 4. Battles of Conspiracy 5. The Lord's Battles Anchor Scripture- Psalm 27:1-6 [1] The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? [2] When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. [3] Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. [4] One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord , and to enquire in his temple. [5] For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. [6] And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
