Countdown to Encounter - Mid Year Retreat 2026 || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 01.06.2026 49min

As we set our hearts in expectation for our Mid-Year Retreat, we were reminded to prepare with intentionality. Attention must first be given to God’s Word, approaching every gathering with hunger and readiness to receive.We must also pay attention to God’s men and God’s work, recognising that the Lord often ministers through His servants and that the blessing may be found not only in the service but also in serving. Above all, we come with faith, expecting encounters and positioning our hearts to receive all that God has preparedBe blessed as you listen to this sermon.

My Church and Pastors || My Church and I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 24.05.2026 1h 28min

We wrapped up My church and I series with My Church & Pastor. A pastor is not a mediator, a prayer contractor, or a spiritual broker. He is not God, nor is he perfect. The role of a pastor is to faithfully handle the Word, teach what was handed down by the apostles, and lead people to God, not to himself. In response, believers submit themselves to sound teaching, grow spiritually under pastoral guidance, and serve alongside their pastor in ministry. Our prayer is that you are blessed as you listen to this sermon.

My Church and Doubts || My Church and I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 18.05.2026 1h 30min

Today’s teaching on “My Church & Doubts” reminded us that there is a difference between doubt and disbelief. Doubt is wrestling with questions and uncertainty, while disbelief is the refusal to believe even when truth is evident. We saw throughout Scripture that God is not afraid of our questions, and that believers can bring their doubts honestly before Him.We also learnt that faith does not mean having every answer. There comes a point where knowledge reaches its limit and faith requires a response. God calls us to seek truth sincerely, to ask questions with the right heart, and to remember that the goal is not merely to win arguments, but to win people.Most importantly, we were reminded that doubt should not drive us away from God, but closer to Him. Read, learn, ask questions, speak to wise spiritual leaders, and take your doubts to Jesus. There is grace for the believer who genuinely wants to know and trust God more.

My Church and Sexual Sins || My Church and I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 10.05.2026 1h 37min

We continued our series with My Church & Sexual Sins.Sex is God’s design, and purity is His standard for everyone. Jesus did not only save us from sin, He broke its power over our lives, calling us to honour Him with our bodies as those bought with a price.Sin begins in the mind, so we respond to temptation with truth, refusing to entertain what wars against the soul. Because our bodies belong to the Lord, there are things we cannot carry, consume, or excuse.Victory over sin requires seriousness, devotion, prayer, accountability, wisdom, and structures that help us walk in honour. Rather than making excuses for sin, we hate it, pursue holiness, and remain humble when restoring others.Listen to this sermon and be blessed.

My Church and Money || My Church and I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 04.05.2026 1h 44min

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it well. Hard work is Christian because it is done unto God, and from it flows a true dignity for labour as we maximise the gifts and talents given to us.The centre of life is not self. God cares for the poor, and giving becomes part of devotion—living as a blessing to others.With this comes discipline. Modesty shapes how money is handled, setting boundaries and consecration. Not everything affordable must be owned, and prosperity must never come at the expense of family.

My Church and Money || My Church and I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 27.04.2026 1h 39min

Faithfulness must show even in little things, including money. Life cannot be defined by what is in the account. There must be more to living than what is in the pocket.Comfort that pulls the heart away from God is dangerous, while hardship that draws one closer is a mercy. True wealth shows in generosity; investing in God’s cause and becoming an extension of blessing.As resources increase, trust must remain in God, not money. What matters is Christ, not what is owned.Be blessed as you listen to this sermon

The House of God || TEC Lagos Inaugural Service || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 21.04.2026 1h 8min

On Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Pastor Nelson, taught on “The House of God.” He explained how revelation in Scripture is progressive; introduced in the Old Testament and fully revealed in the New.We were taken on a journey from the tabernacle to the temple, culminating in the powerful truth that today, we are the house of God.He unpacked what this means; the implications of the house of God and what happens in the house of God.We pray that as you listen, you are blessed and deeply edified.

Supernatural Class Lagos 2026 || Evening Session || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam.mp3 21.04.2026 1h 25min

In the afternoon session; Pastor Nelson taught on the truth that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation; living, active, and transformative. Miracles are not the end; they are signs pointing us to Christ.That when we come before God, we bring nothing of our own merit. From the Day of Atonement to the brazen serpent to the Passover lamb, God has always been the One working proactively for our redemption, and He has done the same through Christ.Through His sacrifice, the power of sin has been broken. The hold the enemy once had is gone. We have been made alive, delivered, and set free.Principalities and powers have been disarmed. Satan has fallen like lightning. In Christ, we now walk in authority to trample on every power of the enemy, assured that nothing shall harm us. Listen and be blessed as you do so.

My Church & Parenting || My Church and I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 12.04.2026 1h 46min

Pastor Nelson taught on My Church & Parenting, showing that children are a sacred trust from the Lord, made in His image. Parenting is both a privilege and a ministry, where example leads; children follow what they see, not just what they hear.Each child carries a God-given destiny, not an extension of personal desires, so parenting requires intention—teaching the faith, praying together, and modelling Christ. Discipline flows from love, because parenting is stewardship, and God cares deeply about how children are raised.Be stirred as you listen to this sermon.

My Church and Hard times || My Church And I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 06.04.2026 1h 37min

The fall of man brought brokenness into all creation, yet God remains present in suffering, not always removing pain but giving comfort through it. Following Christ calls for surrender, no longer living for self but for Him.In every hardship, God is at work and no trial is wasted. The believer is never at a disadvantage, and with the right understanding of suffering, we remain anchored in His constant comfort even in hard times.Be Stirred as you listen to this sermon.

Christian Cults || SELAH || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 04.04.2026 4h 29min

A “Christian cult” is a category, not a recognition of true Christianity, as such groups often form around the misinterpretation of a man and a distortion of biblical truth.The believer carries the responsibility to present a clear testimony of Jesus, both in lived experience and in the accurate handling of truth, especially when engaging with cult groups and addressing false representations of Christ.Be blessed as you listen to this sermon.

My Church and Marriage || My Church and I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 29.03.2026 1h 38min

Marriage goes beyond feelings for the believer; it is a tool for sanctification that shapes and tests the Christian walk. Both male and female are made in the image of God, and that reality calls for honour. Respect is not cultural but Christian, extended to all because they bear His image.Within this covenant, both are joint heirs in Christ with distinct roles that bring order and glory to God. The man loves sacrificially as Christ loves the Church, and the wife responds in submission as the Church does to Christ; each reflecting God’s design with care.Marriage, then, is a daily choice. In every season, whether easy or hard. We choose to love, honour, and respond rightly, and in doing so, we give glory to God.Be blessed as you listen to this sermon.

My Church and Butterflies - Part 2 || My Church and I || The equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 22.03.2026 1h 48min

Marriage requires intentional, prayerful decisions. Seeking God’s guidance comes first, choosing in the Lord and refusing to return to patterns He has called you away from, while approaching such a life decision with clarity and conviction.That clarity also demands honesty meaning; examining readiness, seeking counsel, and having real conversations before committing. Questions around family expectations, growth in a partner, and personal readiness must be handled with wisdom and sincerity.Be blessed as you listen to this sermon.

My Church & Butterflies || My Church and I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 15.03.2026 1h 43min

We had another impactful service today We continued with My Church & Butterflies.Sexual intimacy is sacred and reserved for marriage because our bodies belong to God. Relationships must honour Him, prioritising conversation and discernment rather than rushing into physical intimacy.Our attachment patterns also shape how we relate to others. Experiences from upbringing can influence trust, communication, and emotional closeness, sometimes creating fear, distance, or instability in relationships.Be blessed as you listen to this sermon.

My Chruch and Offence - Navigating Hurt || My Church and I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 08.03.2026 1h 43min

Love must mark the life of the believer. The way we respond to the worst in others reveals our true character, so we train our hearts to see virtue in others and examine vice in ourselves. Since all people are made in God’s image, honour becomes the right response. Being blood-bought sets us apart, calling us to esteem others highly and guard our words toward them.Devotion cannot live alongside contradiction. Loving God must show in how we treat people. Acts of devotion must produce fruits of devotion, and the fruit of the Spirit shapes our relationships—friendships, marriage, and community.God’s correction restores. Healthy relationships require communication, peacemaking, and patience with others. Instead of treating people as they treat us, we extend grace, knowing not everyone will respond the way we would.

My Church & Devotion 3 || My Church and I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 01.03.2026 1h 32min

We continued on My Church & Devotion.We were reminded that an act of devotion is right thinking. Our thinking powers our living, so we must guard our hearts diligently. God doesn’t only desire that we live right, but that we think right; aligning our minds with His Word, because whatever He instructs is wisdom.From right thinking flows right serving. Serving God’s cause is devotion, and He pays attention to it. When we show kindness to a member of the body, we are showing kindness to Jesus.Be blessed as you listen to this message

My Church & Devotion 2 || My Church and I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 22.02.2026 1h 32min

God is holy, set apart and in a class of His own. As His own people, acts of devotion are expected of us. In giving, prayer, and fasting, we engage in priesthood; asking that His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.Giving carries spiritual weight. Generosity rises before God and reflects a life of devotion. We give to the poor, to our parents, and to our local church. Acts of priesthood cannot be separated from the life of priesthood.Prayer is the language of the helpless. To neglect prayer is pride. We refuse to pray as those trusting in earthly systems, but we make time for sacrifice and seek God with expectation. We pray for the saints, persecuted believers, and ministry gifts.Fasting humbles us before the Lord. It is worship which is an intentional pause to seek Him and respond in devotion.

My Church and Devotion || My Church and I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 16.02.2026 1h 29min

A praying church produces praying people, and a Word-centred church produces serious students of Scripture. We provoke one another to good works and train not only for devotion, but for service.Devotion honours the Lord because of who He is. His greatness makes worship logical. We trust in His name above every natural advantage, and when we truly magnify Him, the quality of our worship reflects it.Acts of devotion flow from that understanding—giving, fasting, prayer, right living, right thinking, and serving. We present ourselves to God because He first gave Himself to us.

My Church and Discipleship 2 || My Church and I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 08.02.2026 1h 13min

What a rich and grounding service today We were reminded why discipleship matters and how God uses it to shape our lives.Discipleship happens through teaching. Jesus and the apostles taught consistently, and discipleship begins by conforming the mind to the Word of God. God cares about how we think, because the Word is where real warfare takes place.Discipleship actively trains us to obey Christ in a world that constantly tries to disciple us through culture and information. Church shapes the heart and mind for eternity, and this training happens in real relationships—through proximity, accountability, and availability. Only those who submit themselves can truly be formed.Be blessed as you listen to this sermon.

My Church and Discipleship || My Church and I || The Equipping Center Global || Pastor Nelson Iheagwam 02.02.2026 1h 17min

Such a grounding service today as we were reminded why Church matters and what God intends it to be. Church begins with Jesus calling people to Himself. The Church is not a building but a people gathered unto Christ, devoted to teaching, fellowship, prayer, and the breaking of bread.God designed community for growth and safety. We gather to know Him, be equipped for His work, and mature through sound doctrine and consistent teaching.Church is not defined by ambience or popularity, but by saved people centred on Christ, growing in truth, accountability, and service—esteeming Jesus alone.
