Message: “No Distance” from Femi Osunnuyi – City Church Lagos

Femi Osunnuyi - November 17, 2018

Narcotic Power

The story of Haman and Mordecai in this passage shows us how we often relate to power. Like Haman, we want people to venerate us. If we have power, we flaunt it; if we do not have it, we hide. We assume that visible power is true power. However, we see in this story that the invisible God who sovereignly and providentially governs all things is the all-powerful God who deserves our worship and allegiance-not the idol of power. When we truly know God’s power and love, we will use power rightly. Rather than serve ourselves and seek to destroy others, like Haman, we will seek to serve others and give ourselves for them like Jesus.

Scripture References: Esther 5:9

From Series: "Idols and the City"

Lagosians know a thing or two about physical idols but in the 21st century we think of them more as harmless cultural artefacts kept in museums. The Bible however, teaches us that they’re more than that – our hearts are idol-making factories that exert power on us through three main surface idols: Money, Sex and Power. In the “Idols and the City” sermon series, from September 2nd to November 25th, we will see that only the Gospel of Christ can truly give us the fulfillment we seek from these idols and deliver us from their bondage.
