Pray To Separate Your Leaders From Fear

 

 

 

 

For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

 

 

Before any leader will make it in ministry, there is a need to back up such an individual with prayers. It took much intercessory prayers from Jesus on behalf of Peter, to move from a point of denying Jesus to the other extreme of performing special miracles (Acts 5:15-16). For your leaders to succeed, you need to invest in prayers for him or her. If you fail to pray for your leaders, do not complain when they fall into temptations or take wrong decisions. You are part of the cause. However, if you pray for your leader and yet he fails, you pray want to believe that it was still partly your fault: that is, you did not pray enough. When last did you spend on solid hour interceding for your leader?

There are areas you need to pray specifically about concerning spiritual leaders. Such breakthrough prayers will help to take care of the barriers in their way. The first of these is FEAR. Fear is not a strange phenomenon as far as ministerial work is concerned. Even the disciples that went through the physical training of Jesus Christ had to contend with fear. They could not publicly declare Jesus for fear of persecution. They had to lock up themselves in the upper room until the Holy Ghost was sent.

Fear can make a spiritual leader to compromise. This is why some leaders cannot preach restitution for fear of losing rich members. For this same reason, sermons against polygamy are unpopular in many churches today. Any spiritual leader that has not overcome fear may never really become a vessel of honour t God. Anything you fear dominates your life (Romans 6:16). Some pastors and leaders are afraid to go to their place of posting. Some find it difficult to go to remote towns and villages, especially after hearing the history of witchcraft activities there. If you fail to break this yoke in the lives of your leaders, you will remain limited. You may never be able to hear the full Gospel through them. They will not be able to give their best, and your blessings could be hindered. Arise and intercede for your leaders, breaking the yoke of fear in their lives.

 

Prayer Point: Dear Heavenly Father, break the yoke of fear in the life of my pastor, and fill him with the spirit of holiness to enable him declare Your full counsel in Jesus Christ Name I pray! Amen!

 

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Prayer! A Sign Of Dependence

Prayer! A Sign Of Dependence

 

 

“And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.” (Luke 6:12).

 

 

 

It is a dangerous thing to go into ministry without being called of God. However, if you have heard God’s call, follow His timing and respond in obedience. After God has called you into spiritual leadership, go ahead and pray your way into breakthrough. Leadership is not for the unprepared. If you came into ministry because of the honour, money or fame, you have been deceived. You will sooner or later become food for the enemy. By its nature, ministry brings the called into face to face conflict with the kingdom of darkness. God backs only those He has called. If God has not called you, He will not be obligated to defend you. If He had not called you, He will not be moved to reward you for your service or meet your personal and ministerial needs. Are you called of God?

 

 

 

However, prayer is necessary for the called. Prayer shows your level of dependence on God. If you place much premium on prayer, it shows you depend on God. But if you pray infrequency, or you continue to say few minutes’ prayers, it shows how independent of God you are. A prayer-less Christian is a self-directed and self-sufficient individual. Does this describe you? Before the Lord started His ministry, He fasted and prayed for 40 days at a stretch. After His ministry began, did He go to sleep? No! He continued to pray. That is the mistake some of us make. Before embarking on a major assignment such as ministry, marriage, etc. we pray and rely on God for direction – every step of the way. However, after the inaugural service and marriage ceremony, prayers cease; we are now in charge. Now, why won’t things go wrong? Let us learn from the Lord. He kept on praying. Before He appointed His twelve apostles He took time to talk it over with the Father. Before each day’s ministerial activity, He prayed and settled it all the previous night. It was prayer that helped Him to subdue His flesh. At the Garden of Gethsemane, when He was about to take a major step towards the salvation of mankind, His flesh stood in His way. It took serious prayers to overcome this. Have you dumped your prayer-life? Pick it up today?

 

 

 

Your prayer-life simply shows how God-dependent or self-dependent you are. In all your ways depend on God and acknowledge Him.

 

 

 

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

God’s Word Never Returns To Him Void

Something From Nothing!

 

 

“So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I send it.” (Isaiah 55:11)

 

 

 

God’s Word never return to Him empty. Once it has been uttered, it is settled and the case is closed (Psalm 33:8-9).

When God speaks, it is settled. Why? Because He can bring something out of nothing!  In Genesis 1:20-23, the Lord commanded the waters to bring forth marine life and out of nothing, all variety of sea creatures of various sizes, shapes and colours sprang forth. At that same time, in response to His command, all kinds of birds came forth and began to adorn the skyline. It was just His Word in action. This tells us that God does not always require materials to create miracles; His Word is enough. Similarly, in Exodus 17:1-6, out of the rock, God brought forth enough water to quench the thirst of a whole nation. God is a specialist at bringing out something out of nothing.

Are you in a situation of nothingness and you are in doubt as to whether God can do something about it? He can and He will! In that emptiness God will move to fill up the void. Has He spoken into your life a promise which after your assessment, you concluded was not possible? Wipe your doubts! God is bringing something out of that nothingness! You see, it takes looking through God’s eyes to see something in nothing. In your hopelessness there is hope for you. In that so-called terminal ailment, there is healing for you. In your impoverished state, there is abundance for you. Ensure you make your ways right with God, do everything you can to please Him; Worship Him and obey Him. Listen to His instruction and follow it diligently. It shall produce something out of nothing.

Prayer Point:  Dear Heavenly Father, let your Word be settled for good concerning my life and destiny, In Jesus Christ Name I pray! Amen!

 

 

 

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Psalms 27:1:

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?”
This is one of those verses that put a kick or maybe a jump in my step. We serve the best God there possibly can be, in fact the only God there can be. Today would you just give Him praise, lift His name and pray that His kingdom comes into our world.

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

The Secret Of Greatness. Sermon By Pastor E A Adeboye. The General Overseer. The Redeemed Christian Church Of God. On A Special Day Out With The God Of The G O.


English: The Last Supper of Jesus Christ

“The Secret Of Greatness” Sermon By Pastor E A Adeboye, The General Overseer The Redeemed Christian Church Of God, On A Special Day Out With The God Of The G.O

The Secret Of Greatness.

2 Chronicles 1:6-15

Introduction:   it is said that knowledge is power. The secret of what made Moses greater than all of Israel combined is hidden in Psalm 103:7. You will discover the true secret of greatness today in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen!

Diligence is a key to greatness

The scriptures teach us that diligence is a key to greatness. However it is not the major key because it is subject to the mercy and sovereignty of God.

Proverbs 22:29; Hebrews 11:6; Romans 9:15-16; Genesis 48:12-20; Deuteronomy 33:17; Luke 5:1-7; Psalm 127:1; Proverbs 10:22.

Gratitude to God is the Major Key to greatness

Gratitude to God ensures promotion and abundant gratitude ensures unique greatness.

Psalm 108:1-3; Act 13:21-22; 1 Samuel 16:1-13; 2 Samuel 6:14-22; Jeremiah 33:20-21; 2 Chronicles 7:5.

Conclusion:  Whereas ingratitude can demote, turn a king to an animal or kill outright, repentance can bring about restoration and increased greatness.

1 Samuel 15:1-23; Daniel 4:28-33; Acts 12:20-23; Daniel 4:34-37.

May your greatness be fully restored and increased today in Jesus Christ Name! Amen!

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

There is no higher authority than God

There is no higher authority than God

God’s Judicial Authority

“I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth.” (Matthew 28:18)

A judge, above all else, must have authority. Our government endows judges with authority through the oath they take to execute justice. The law enforcement and prison systems back up the judge’s authority. The robe that he wears and having everyone in the courtroom stand as he enters, help to emphasize that authority. His gavel and his elevated seat in the courtroom show that he commands the proceedings.
Similarly, God, as the Creator, has the authority to do whatever He deems best with His creation. He is the potter; we are the clay. His throne is high above us in the heavens. His pronouncements are final. There is no higher authority than God.
God will judge every wrong act ever committed every sinful motive, every evil word. The sentence for these crimes is eternal separation from God and His holiness.
But there are those who will live in safety with God. These are the ones who have accepted Christ‘s payment for our sin when He died on the cross. Our loving Saviour, Jesus Christ, paid the sentence pronounced by the Perfect Judge. God sees these “sinners saved by grace” as righteous in His courtroom. Therefore, they will live eternally in the love, peace, and joy of God’s presence.

Your View of God Really Matters……..

Are you ready to stand before the Perfect Judge who has all authority? Remember, God’s standard of justice is perfection. Will He see your shortcomings, or will He see Jesus’ perfect sacrifice? It’s your choice.

What More Does God Say?

John 9:39; John 3:16-18

Because God is Just, He will always treat me fairly

 

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!
