Notes: RCNNA DISCIPLESHIP RETREAT DAY 3 BY DR APOSTLE AROME OSAYI
INTRODUCTION
THEME The core message of this sermon centres on the analysis of Christ's temptations as blueprints for the believer's spiritual journey. Apostle Arome focuses on moving from the Principle of Living (operating by the proceeding word) to the Principle of Believing (operating by faith versus presumption), emphasizing the necessity of an active secret place.
PURPOSE The sermon aims to deliver believers from the trap of spiritual presumption and religious gimmicks, teaching them how to establish a consistent altar that triggers divine protection and authentic guidance.
MAIN TEACHINGS
THE PRINCIPLE OF LIVING: THE PROCEEDING WORD Apostle Arome revisits the first temptation of Jesus, noting that man was not designed to live by bread alone but by the proceeding word of God.
* Circumstances should never be the trigger for your actions. * A believer must have a diary or record of encounters and insights received from God to justify their current path. * Living without a proceeding word makes one a victim of environmental manipulations and territorial demons.
THE PRINCIPLE OF BELIEVING: FAITH VS PRESUMPTION The second temptation (casting oneself from the temple) addresses how Satan attempts to control what a believer believes.
* Satan quotes scripture (Psalm 91) but intentionally omits the conditions attached to the promises. * Faith is born from hearing the Rhema (the voice) of God, whereas Presumption is acting on the Logos (written word) without a specific divine instruction. * Presumption is classified in scripture as a "great transgression" (Psalm 19:13) because it attempts to force God's hand without His consent.
THE ANATOMY OF PSALM 91: THE SECRET PLACE Apostle Arome breaks down the conditional nature of divine protection:
* THE STRONGHOLD: Verse 1 requires "dwelling", not just visiting. Vulnerability in the natural world necessitates a spiritual insurance policy found only in the secret place. * THE SHADOW: Protection (the shadow) is cast outside for those who dwell inside. If a person lacks a secret place, they are exposed to "stray bullets" and the "noisome pestilence" of life. * THE THREE CONDITIONS: He highlights that Psalm 91 has specific conditions in verses 1, 9, and 14 that must be met before the deliverables (deliverance, long life, and honour) are activated.
THE ART OF MINISTERING TO THE LORD Using Acts 13:1, Apostle Arome explains that ministering to the Lord is the primary duty of a priest.
* It involves staying in God's presence with no agenda other than worship and attention to Him. * This practice activates the "supervising spirit" of the altar, leading to audible guidance, prophetic insights, and the breaking of yokes. * Consistent ministering creates a "spiritual transport" where the believer can see years ahead and gain victory over invisible enemies.
ILLUSTRATIONS AND EXAMPLES
THE MISSIONARY REDIRECTION Apostle Arome shares a detailed testimony of how a prophetic word from an elder, followed by his own three-day fast, redirected him from his beloved city in Nigeria to the United States. He explains that despite personal plans for the UK or returning home, he stayed in the US because of a "proceeding word" that overruled his logic and partnerships.
THE SEVENTY-PERCENT RULE IN WARFARE He illustrates that 70% of spiritual victory is simply seeing the enemy. He shares a story of a brother who, through his altar, was shown a mistake from his past that a deity was using as legal ground. Once it was seen, the enemy lost its power.
THE PREGNANCY DELIVERANCE Apostle Arome recounts a time his wife was overdue for delivery. While praying, the Holy Ghost showed him a specific spiritual entity (a man in a straw cap) blocking the birth. The moment he identified and challenged the entity in the spirit, his wife went into labour.
THE SUBMARINE STOCKS He humorously compares the instability of the stock market (which "glides into submarine red") to the "surely" of Godβs deliverance. While the world's systems are volatile, the deliverables of the secret place are guaranteed.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
ESTABLISH A DEDICATED LOCATION Dedicate a specific spot in your home as your stronghold. Lock the door, set a timer for at least an hour, and practice staying there until the atmosphere is activated.
PRACTICE SPIRITUAL DANCING AND SINGING Minister to the Lord without music. Sing spiritual songs and dance before Him as a priestly sacrifice. This "ventilation" of the spirit clears bitterness and pain from the soul.
SEEK CONFIRMATION FOR BIG STEPS Do not take major life steps (marriage, ministry, relocation) based on "checking" or presumption. If you are not sure, ask God to quicken another vessel to speak to you by prophecy to confirm His voice.
AUDIT YOUR BELIEFS Check if your "faith" is actually presumption. Ask: "Did God speak this specifically to me, or am I just quoting a promise whose conditions I haven't met?"
KEY TAKEAWAYS
* You are not traced to a man or a foundation, you will be traced to the devil; everyone needs spiritual referees. * Presumption is a sin that leads to great transgressions and leaves you without God's backing in a crisis. * The secret place is not a place for visiting; it is a place for dwelling and abiding. * Real faith is predicated on the faithfulness of God to His own spoken word (Rhema). * Ministering to the Lord is the fastest way to attract miracles and breakthroughs without asking for them.
CONCLUSION
The sermon concludes with a call to priestly living. Apostle Arome emphasizes that the life of a follower is one of participation and partnership with God's vision. Believers are encouraged to move beyond mere belief into a disciplined walk where the secret place dictates their public reality, ensuring they are exempted from the destructions that waste at noonday.
Lord Keep me from presumptuous sins . Let them not have dominion over me . Then Iβll be upright & innocent of transgressions ππΌβ€οΈβπ₯π₯ππΌ
