We all love to see Thee

We all love to see Thee

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

We all love to see Thee
O thou, good sabbath day
All the days of the week inquire
How long wilt thou tarry?

Thou teacheth us to know
That Christ rose from the dead
All the days of the week inquire
How long wilt thou tarry?

Thou telleth of Thy power
As Jesus rose from dead
All the days of the week inquire
How long wilt thru tarry?

Thou speak of living rest
In the city of peace
For all blessed saints in Jesus
How long wilt thou tarry?

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends

Here another Sabbath close

Posted on August 23, 2015 by Prayer

Here another Sabbath close

Psalms_118-24: This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it

Here another Sabbath close,
Here again we seek repose,
Lord, our song ascends to Thee,
At Thy feet we bow the knee.

For the mercies of the day;
For this rest upon our way.
Thank to Thee alone be given
Lord and king of earth and
heaven.

Cold our services have been
Prayers and praises stained with
sin:
But Thou canst and wilt forgive
By Thy grace alone we live

Whilst this thorny path we tread,
May Thy love our footsteps lead
When our journey here is past,
May we rest with Thee at last.

May our earthly Sabbathas
Foretastes of our joy above;
While our pilgrim steps we bend
To the rest, which knows no end. Amen!

Nehemiah_8-10: Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength

God of many chances

Posted on August 21, 2015 by Prayer

God of many chances

Genesis_28-15-1: And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of

Psalm 103:4
who [the Lord] redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,

Psalms_103-8: The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy

Four women are mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus. (Matthew 1:1–16) Interestingly, they are not Sarah, Rebekah, Leah or Rachel, wives of the patriarchs of the Old Testament. Instead, they are Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba, women who had morally questionable backgrounds.

Galatians_5-1-1: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage

Tamar resorted to deception and prostitution to produce children through her father-in-law. Yet, it was from her line, the tribe of Judah, that the Messiah came. (Genesis 38) Rahab was a Gentile and a prostitute in Jericho, who became a believer in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Joshua 2:1–21) She also became the mother of Boaz, who married Ruth. (Ruth 4:13)

Psalms_100-5: For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Ruth was morally upright. But as a Moabitess, she was a Gentile and therefore considered unclean. Yet, she became the grandmother of David (Ruth 4:13–17), whom the Jews regard as their greatest king. Bathsheba committed adultery with David. (2 Samuel 11:4) Later, she gave birth to King Solomon (2 Samuel 12:24), from whose royal line Jesus descended.

Psalms_91-4: He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

So what is God saying to us here?

Romans_5-8: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

He is saying that He is greater than our sins—where sin abounds, His grace abounds much more. (Romans 5:20) His grace is greater than our sins, so that even when the world disqualifies us, He can qualify us to receive His blessings!

Romans_8-35: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

God is also saying that He is the God of many chances. These women’s stories show us that even when our troubles are of our own making, they are neither final nor fatal. When we turn to Him, He will turn our situations around until we see His glory upon us!

2-Corinthians_12-9: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me

Finally, God is saying that He is The God of supernatural positioning. Even when all our earthly connections are gone, the moment we turn to Him, He will find ways to turn our captivity into blessings.

My friend, don’t look at your natural circumstances and be discouraged. Trust the One “who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies”. Trust Him who qualifies the disqualified!

“And when Abraham was ninety years old and nine the Lord appeared to Abraham and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before Me and be thou perfect”.
God said to Abraham, He said I Am Jehovah El – shaddai, the God who is more than enough, the All Sufficient God.
That All Sufficient God is here tonight, He has demonstrated His power, if you will obey Him, He will solve all your problem tonight.
Do I hear your amen loud and clear?

63rd RCCG August 2015 Annual Convention. The All Sufficient God

He is sufficient for all our needs.
That is while the Bible says ‘the just shall live by faith’.
He is sufficient for our physical needs.
Like I told you on Wednesday, He is the God of all flesh.
Jeremiah 32:27, says “He is the God of all flesh and there is nothing too hard for Him”.
If only you will believe, He will surprise you tonight.
I will tell you a story of faith that can produced the miraculous.
There was this young man, a teenager, and he has a blood condition that is called “SS”, had been sick all the days of his life.
Then, one Sunday he said he wanted to give a testimony, and they said yes!
What is your testimony?
He said, “I heard that Daddy G.O. is coming to this church this next coming Sunday”.
I want to testify, that, “I will be healed on that Sunday”.
Somebody phone me to tell – “this young man gave this testimony”.
And I was praying, God, let me meet this young man.
As God will have it, as I was coming out of my car, in the church, the young man was standing there.
He did not look like a teenager at all.
He looks so tiny.
He came to me and say Daddy, ‘I have been sick all the days of my life, but I am confident that since you have come to this church today, I will be healed today’.
I hugged him.
I said, it will be unto you according to your faith.
I got his letter last month, because the boy is in America. I met him in March.
He wrote, “Dear Daddy, I want to thank God and I want to thank You, I have been healed since the day you came to our church”.
With confidence in the Most High God, I am prophesying to someone here tonight, who believes, tonight you will get your miracles.
He is more than sufficient for our material needs.
Because according to Psalm 24:1.
Psalm 24:1. The Bible says “the whole earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof”.

63rd RCCG August 2015 Annual Convention. The All Sufficient God

In 2 King 4:1-7. A widow was in debt, and the creditors wanted to sell her two sons to recover their money.

She cried to the Almighty – The All Sufficient one.
He intervened.
Not only was she able to pay off her debt, she had enough money to live on for the rest of her life.
I am prophesying to someone here tonight, before the end of this month, financially the tide will turned for you.
A woman came to me, I think it was in 1983 or 1984, she came from one town in Oyo State, for prayers.
I said don’t worry, God will provide for you, etcetera; you can go home now.
She said I cannot go because I don’t have the money to travel back.
And I was very poor then too.
It is just that one poor is different from another poor.
I took the little money I had, divided it into two and gave her half – it was in June.
By the following August, she came back and bought a big cow for the convention.
There is somebody here tonight, financially, things might be difficult, but next year convention you will be one of those who will sponsor it.
He is more than sufficient emotionally.
Psalm 16:11, the Bible says “in His presence there is fullness of joy”.
You have heard the testimony before.
We were in the very first auditorium, we were all praying and when I was praying, I closed my eyes.
Then God spoke to me, He said, son, open your eyes.
I almost told Him ‘Lord, I am praying’.
So, I opened my eyes and He pointed at a woman in the crowd, who was drenched in tears; God said, go and tell her to ‘weep not’.
That is all God asked me to tell her.
I got to her; I touched her.
Sister! God said, ‘weep not’.
Suddenly, her face brightened, as if the sun was coming out of the cloud.
Because she knew, at long last God has heard her.
In the Name that is above every other name, at long last God will hear you today.
A year later, she came to see me, I said, sister, what can I do to help you?
She opened her mouth and closed it. She couldn’t say anything.
She opened her mouth again, and closed it.
I said, what is it sister?
She opened her mouth the third time and said “Jesus! Jesus!! Jesus!!!”
I said ok. Yes! Have heard Jesus. What?
She said, I was the woman who was weeping that you came to and said “weep not”.
She said, “I had been barren, I think twelve years, and the relatives of my husband said I should get out of the house if I don’t have a child. That is while I was weeping that day”.
I looked at her – It was my turn to weep, but to weep for joy.
Because on her right hand she was carrying a child, on her left hand she was carrying a child.
Because you are here tonight, in the Name of the All sufficient God, you will never weep again. Amen
He is more than sufficient to promote.

63rd RCCG August 2015 Annual Convention. The All Sufficient God

Thank You Father.
Daddy says there is someone here tonight, He says you will understand, He said, I should tell you, you will win convincingly.
In Psalm 75:6-7, the Bible says promotion comes not from the East or from the West, it doesn’t come from the South, promotions come from God.
And then, in 1 Samuel 2:7-8, the Bible says ‘God can pick up a beggar from the dunghill, and set him among princes’.
I thank God for the testimony of my son, who dropped out of school in class two, and today he is a Governor.
I prophesy to someone here today, no matter how critical your situation may be, in the Name of all sufficient God, you will reach the top.
I can give you testimonies, but don’t let us waste time because will have a lot of prayer to do.
As you have already heard, He is able to save to the uttermost.
1 John 1:7 says, ‘the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sin’
He took Apostle Paul, the Chief of sinners, (according to 1 Timothy 1:15), and turned him to the Chiefest Apostle, (according to 2 Corinthians 11:5).
He can pick the worst of a sinner and turn him to one of the greatest apostles.
I am believing God for someone here tonight, someone who never thinks he or she could be a vessel unto honour in God’s hands, before you die, the world will know you’re with Christ.

63rd RCCG August 2015 Annual Convention. The All Sufficient God

Oh thank You Lord! May be I should say amen to this one before I tell you.
The Lord says there is someone here tonight, the Lord said I will give you a mighty testimony too.
I want to get out of the way, so that He can do the rest that He wanted to do.
But the Lord says I should tell someone here, He said the pain in the neck of your family, will be gone before the end of next week.
Now He asks me to tell you, it is as a result of prayer you prayed yesterday, and so when it happens…
Ok. He asks me to tell you a story, so that I won’t have to tell you, you will be able to put two and two together.
Several years ago, one of my sons was promoted, they gave him beautiful recommendations, and for no other reason at all, not query, nothing, and they sacked him in his place of work.
And he came to the Holy Ghost Service, and God spoke through me and said, that there is someone here, someone close to you is going to die, He said don’t be sorry at all.

63rd RCCG August 2015 Annual Convention. The All Sufficient God

Well! Nobody knew who.
The following week, the young man lost his father, before the father died, he confessed. That he is the one responsible for the sacking of the boy, because he was making too rapid a progress.
Those of you who were here yesterday will pray some serious prayers.
And the Lord is saying I should tell someone, the pain in the neck of your family will be gone before next weekend.

63rd RCCG August 2015 Annual Convention. The All Sufficient God

Hmmm! Thank You Lord!
Again, Daddy says because of the prayer you prayed yesterday, that there is someone here tonight, He said I should tell you, the danger is passed – You can come out of hiding now.
Oh! Amen and amen
Daddy says there is someone here tonight, He said beginning from now, all your projects will experience comprehensive and inclusive progress.

63rd RCCG August 2015 Annual Convention. The All Sufficient God

Haa! I think this one is specially for me.
Daddy says there is someone here tonight, He said when My glory begins to shine in your life, and it will dazzle those who are expecting your shame.
I am not going to make another altar call, because my son have already done and I believe those of you who want to give your life Christ you have already done so.
If you didn’t do so, in your own interest, before you leave here tonight, surrender your life to Jesus.
I want to move on to what God want us to do next.
I was reading my Bible, in the book of Revelation, and again and again and again, I keep reading about the seven Spirits of God – Seven SPIRITS OF GOD.
So I turn to God, in the middle of the night.
I said Daddy, You have never explain this one to me.
There is only one Holy Spirit. Why do we have seven Spirits of God, seven Spirits of God?
And He said to me, My son, on special occasions, the Holy Spirit can divide himself into three or seven or seventy.
Ooooh! I said I understand.
But why are You drawing my attention to this at this particular time!
He said because on Friday, the 7th of August, at Redemption camp, it will be a special occasion and the Holy Spirit will divide Himself into seven.

63rd RCCG August 2015 Annual Convention. The All Sufficient God

I want to encourage you, don’t be lazy tonight, because you are going to pray seven serious prayers.
I will tell them one by one.
And He asked me to prepare seven flags.
Each one for the Holy Spirit.
Where is this boy?
Ok.
I am going to raise up the flags one at a time.
When I raise up the first one, I will tell you what to pray, and you will pray if for five minutes.
Then I will come and raise up the second and I will tell you what to pray about.
And on and on till will get to the seven.
I assure you in the name of the Almighty you will never never never forget tonight.
Some of the things you are going to pray about will be big.
Don’t be afraid. I told you yesterday ‘don’t be afraid’.

63rd RCCG August 2015 Annual Convention. The All Sufficient God

Fear is the opposite of faith.
Tonight we are not going to ask for small things. When you hear the prayer points, just go ahead and pray them.
When the results begin to come, you will remember tonight and glorify God.
Ok. Ehem, I think I will use this one as the first one.
I hope… take it to the very back. …we don’t want to block the sight of…
And if you are seating where you can’t see, you are free to come and stand where you can see. Or they will help us show it on the screen.
The first prayer that we are going to pray for five minutes only is a PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING.
Please focus on the flag, forget me, they can hear me, they want to see the flag.
Put this thing on the screen!
Is that the best you can do? That is the best?
Why?
Move the camera back, so you can see this thing accurately. I urge those of you in front – capture the whole flag. Please.
Thank you. Alright.
Now, while I was praying, the Lord says we are GUILTY OF INGRATITUDE.
That we have not thanked Him enough for what He had done in the past.

63rd RCCG August 2015 Annual Convention. The All Sufficient God

So, before we begin to ask for big things, first five minute, just thank God. And that should be easy for you to do. But do it with all you heart – With all your heart.
Remember you are thanking the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the All Sufficient God.
Thank Him.
In Jesus’ mighty name we have prayed.

63rd RCCG August 2015 Annual Convention. The All Sufficient God

He cried master what shall we do?
The Master said, ‘those who are with us are more than those who are with them’.

If are going to be the things that God want you to be, you must have divine protection.
That brings us to flag NUMBER SIX.
Please lift your voice to the Almighty God and say, Father, From This Moment Onward, Surround Me And My Family With Horses And Chariots Of Fire.

Let me hear somebody shout hallelujah.

63rd RCCG August 2015 Annual Convention. The All Sufficient God

I know some of you are already waving your handkerchiefs; yes they are anointed but they will be better anointed tomorrow after the Holy Communion service.
Now as you go back to your seat, let me make this few announcement, before we thank God for what He had done tonight.
I am sure some of you will still be wondering why we are still here in this auditorium – I mean if you look to your right to your left, look everywhere, you know we have to thank God that He didn’t rain. We would have been in serious trouble.
The reason we are not in the new auditorium yet, is because it is not yet finished; because we have no money.
All those who promised me mighty big money, they will show up one day.
For the first time in my life, I have become almost a beggar – begging for money.
I am sure you have never heard me say before, if you want to give your offering online, this and that; I never know how to do that.
But circumstances beyond my control.
(Omode yi powe lodo agba).
(Laughing)
So, I want to appeal to those of you who are my children –
Help! Do your best!
If your best is only one thousand Naira towards the new auditorium, do it.
If you start somewhere God will keep on multiplying. After all you are going to become divine treasurer. Please help. So that we can go to that place latest by December.
Do I hear you say amen to that?
We are going to leave the flag here till Sunday.
If still want to come before the altar, focus on any of them and pray. The presence of the Almighty will be heavy here.
Very quickly now, let us get ready our thanksgiving offering.
I don’t know about you, this has been a very special night in life.
Has God visited you tonight?
I did not hear your yes.
If God visited you mightily tonight, let me hear shout a mighty hallelujah.

Child of God, don’t seek God occasionally, seek Him continually. May your life please God now and always

Posted on August 20, 2015 by Prayer

Child of God, don’t seek God occasionally, seek Him continually. May your life please God now and always

Hebrews_11-6: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him

“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.”

Romans 4:17

Proverbs_16-7: When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him

Beloved, how deep is your belief in God? How strong is your faith in Him? How well is your trust and dependency on God Almighty? Is there an alternative to your God? Are you seeing Him as a spare tyre, someone you can call upon only when you are in trouble? Do you call on Him when you need Him and discard Him when things are alright? No! God is not your spare tyre. You must depend on Him absolutely. You must give your heart wholly to Him; you must not have an alternative to believing Him. He must be your one and only Authority. Hebrews 11:6 tells us that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Child of God, don’t seek God occasionally, seek Him continually.

Psalms_119-2: Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart

In Genesis 15:1, God appeared unto Abraham after he refused that booty from the king of Sodom. He demonstrated His trust and love for God. He was not ready to do anything outside the will of God. He showed his commitment to God. God now said to Abraham “I am thy shield and thy exceeding great reward”…If you have me, you have everything. “God was saying to Abraham “if you have me, you have everything because I am your reward. At this time Abraham and His wife were getting old but what did Abraham do to please God? He simply believed the promise of God that he was going to be a father of many nations and he spoke and acted like it.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

You will be surprised to know how people come to church, high-five one another, sing, clap, lift up holy hands in worship and walk away not pleasing God. It doesn’t mean they are not children of God, but they are not pleasing God. So God cannot elevate them to the secluded and privileged position of being a friend. It is not every Christian that is a friend of God but you can chose to be one today by obeying His word always, thereby pleasing Him. Today I release upon you the grace to believe every word of God, you receive and to obey them. May your life please God now and always.

The Fear Of The Lord

Posted on August 19, 2015 by Prayer

The Fear Of The Lord

Proverbs_9-10-2: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding

Text: Proverbs 1:7

Proverbs_1-7: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction

Psalm 11:1

Psalms_34-4-1: I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Introduction

Hebrews_12-28: Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

There are two kinds of fear, a wrong kind and a right one. The Bible is full of passages that tell us to “fear not” e.g. in Genesis 15, Luke 2:10, Revelation 1:17 and John 6:20. This lesson is about the right kind of fear, the fear of God, which the Bible recommends that we ought to have. This fear is clean, wholesome and brings wisdom.
Job 28:28 and Psalm 19:9.lt is a good thing to fear the Lord

2-Timothy_1-7-1: For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind

What Does The Fear Of The Lord Mean?

1-John_4-18: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love

The fear of the Lord is that deep feeling you must have in order to be able to obey God. It is coupled with hatred for evil. You cannot serve God or keep His commandments if His fear is not in you. –Genesis 6:13, Ecclesiastes 12:13, Proverbs 8:13. The fear of the Lord is a treasure to him that has it-Proverbs 15:16. It is a fountain of life, Proverbs I4:27

Psalms_139-14: I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Why Mush I Fear The Lord?

Psalms_118-6: The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

(a) Because of His holiness.(Revelation 15:4).
(b) Because of His greatness. (Daniel 10:12-17).
(C) Because of His goodness.(1 Samuel 12:24).
(d) Because of His forgiveness. (Psalms 130:4).
(e) Because of coming judgments.

Isaiah_41-10: Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness

What Are The Results Of Fearing God?

Psalms_34-4-1: I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

(a) Fearing God brings pleasure to the Lord. –Psalms 147:11.
(b) His pity will increase upon you. –Psalms 103:13.
(c) Brings down God’s mercy. –Psalms 103:17.
(d) Brings down God blessings. –Psalm 112 :1.
(e) It brings long life.-Proverbs 10:27.
(f) It brings answers to prayer, Psalms 145:19
(g) It brings separation from evil, –Proverbs 6:6
(h) It brings confidence.-Proverbs 14:26.

Isaiah_41-13-1: For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee

Conclusion

Deuteronomy_31-6: Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

We must fear the Lord because He commands it.

Something Deadlier Than AIDS. Something Deadlier Than Ebola

Posted on August 19, 2015 by Prayer

Something Deadlier Than AIDS. Something Deadlier Than Ebola

Romans_6-23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord

Text: Proverbs 14:34

Proverbs_14-34: Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people

INTRODUCTION

John_5-24: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life

According to the word of God in Proverbs 14:34, sin is a reproach to anyone who is still toying with it. Just as the contemporary global disease called AIDS i.e. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, sin is a deadly disease to any man or woman living with it.

Psalms_119-11: Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Some Dangers Of A Sinful Life

Romans_3-23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God

1. Eternal damnation.-John 3:16.
2. Loss of fellowship with God and His glory. –Romans 3:23.
3. Loss of earthly blessings.-Romans 6:1.
4. Eternal death. –Romans 6:23.
5. Becoming God’s enemy (King Saul).
6. Destiny diversion (Prodigal son).
7. Suffering that can lead to death (Physical & Spiritual).

Romans_5-8: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

CONCLUSION:
We must avoid sinful lifestyle for our own personal good and for peace of mind in the nearest future. Sin erodes a man of divine covering. it is very dangerous (e.g. Adam and Eve).

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Overflowing Grace

Posted on August 19, 2015 by Prayer

Overflowing Grace

Psalms_84-11: For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly

Text: Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

INTRODUCTION

Hebrews_12-28: Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

The grace of God is without measure in the life of true believers. Whatever you have and being able to do is all by God’s grace. May we never waste this grace in Jesus name.

Ephesians_2-8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

What The Grace Of God Does

2-Timothy_2-1-1: Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus

1. The life we live is by His Grace. –Ephesians 2:8-9.
2. Our acquisition in life is by God’s grace. –Romans 11:6.

5. Our salvation is by Gods grace. –Ephesians 2:8-9.

Hebrews_4-16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. .God’s Throne Of Grace

Conclusion

The grace of God is the favour of God shown to us, which we do not merit. Everyone that has breath of life is living on this great grace.

Just like Abraham pleased God, you also will please Him and you will continually be on His right side

Posted on August 18, 2015 by Prayer

Just like Abraham pleased God, you also will please Him and you will continually be on His right side

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends

“And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.”

James 2:23 (KJV)

Hebrews_6-10: For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister, God Cares

God himself puts it in His register that Abraham is righteous. He puts it in His register that Abraham is His friend. Abraham believed the word of God and acted on it and God recorded that he was righteous. So it was in believing what God has said and acting on it whole heartedly that God’s kind of righteousness is attained. God’s righteousness declares us guiltless of any form of ungodly acts by virtue of our belief in the redemptive work and finished acts of God through His son Jesus.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Please note that Abraham was from an idol worshiping background. God called Him out at an old age with a promise to make of him a great nation, bless him, make his name great and make him a blessing. And Abraham believed and started following God. Then God said because of this action, you (Abraham) are my friend. God almighty called him friend. You too can become God’s friend today if only you will receive His word, believe it and step out in faith. Decide now to do something with the word of God you hear. Don’t just be a hearer, be a doer also because it is the doer of the word that is blessed in his deeds.

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

Today, I declare you a friend of God. Isaiah 55:11 says “So shall my word be that goeth 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 sent it”. I declare that the word of God will not fall to the ground in your life; you will do something with it. The word of God in you will not be in vain, it shall produce. You will run and not be weary. You will walk and not faint. You will fly and excel because you are a friend of the Almighty who never fails to keep His part in the relationship. You will live continually in the confident assurance that you are God’s friend and nothing shall be impossible to you. Just like Abraham pleased God, you also will please Him and you will continually be on his right side.

ARE YOU MORE CONSCIOUS OF THE DEVIL THAN OF GOD?

Posted on August 18, 2015 by Prayer

ARE YOU MORE CONSCIOUS OF THE DEVIL THAN OF GOD?

1-Peter_5-8: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith…
1 Peter 5:8–9

When I was a teenager, I was taught that if I wanted to resist the devil, I had to rebuke him. So whenever an evil thought came to my mind or I was tempted, I found myself saying, “I resist you, devil, in Jesus’ name! I bind you, devil! Go away from me, devil! I rebuke you in Jesus’ name!”

James_4-7: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you

This went on until God showed me one day that though I had “resisted” the devil, I had spent more time talking to him than to God! I was more conscious of the devil than of God throughout the day.

Proverbs_30-5: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him

I checked the Word of God and realized that we resist the devil not by focusing on resisting him, but by being established in the faith that we are made right with God through Jesus’ blood, that we are the righteousness of God in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:21)

2-Corinthians_5-21: For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him

Yes, the devil will continue to remind you of your mistakes, failures and sins. And he will tell you that because of these things, you cannot receive your healing, that you will have to pay for your mistakes or that something bad will happen to your family. He will accuse you, condemn you and try to persuade your heart to believe that he can do bad things to you.

Romans_8-1:There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit

But the truth is that the devil cannot enforce anything in your life if he cannot persuade your heart. And your heart cannot be persuaded if it is “Steadfast In The Faith”, if it is established in righteousness. God says that once you are established in righteousness, “You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you”. (Isaiah 54:14)

Romans_1-17: For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith

So now that my heart is established in righteousness, I can boldly declare, “Yes, I may have these problems in my life, but I am not guilty in God’s eyes. I am justified in God’s eyes by faith because of what Christ has done. I am righteous by Jesus’ blood!”

Ephesians_2-8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

My Love! That is how you resist the devil and become undevourable!

John_3-17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved

Your body. The choice is yours by Pastor D I Odum

Posted on August 18, 2015 by Prayer

Your body. The choice is yours by Pastor D I Odum

1-Corinthians_6-19: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own

Your Body

1-Corinthians_6-20: For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Your body is that which carries you about to where ever you want to go, it is what makes you a human being. Your body house your spirit and soul. You are a living trinity. At death your body returns to the soil, your spirit to God and your soul goes off either to heaven or hell. 1 Corinthians 6:15.

Galatians_3-13-1: Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree

Your body have been purchased by the Almighty God through the death of His Son Jesus Christ at the Cross of Calvary, 1 Corinthians 6:20. He bought us with a price so that He can use us to accomplish certain assignment here on earth. That assignment is to spread the good news of JESUS CHRIST birth, death and resurrection to the world.

1-Peter_2-24: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed

Therefore if you use your body for earthly pleasures of drunkenness, fornication, lesbianism and homosexuality etc, not only that you use your body for the wrong motive, you destroyed His temple he will destroy you, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Mark_8-36: For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul, ie spend eternity in the lake of fire. (Mark 8:36) God’s Word is true. It is not logical neither contestable nor debatable. You can accept it or leave it (Psalm 119:160). God have known you and have ordained you before you were in your mother’s womb, Jeremiah 1:5 and destined you for greatness.

Jeremiah_1-5: Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations

Jeremiah 29:12. How have you been using your body? For the Spirit of God to inhabit or to gratify your flesh or for monetary gain, repent and turn back to your creator now before it is too late, let those who have ears hear what the Spirit of God is saying. Revelations 2:2

Revelation_22-12: And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be

STOP RUNNING FROM PILLAR TO POST. STAY IN THE WORD OF GOD AND GET ALL THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU.

Posted on August 17, 2015 by Prayer

STOP RUNNING FROM PILLAR TO POST! STAY IN THE WORD OF GOD AND GET ALL THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU

Proverbs_30-5: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him

“He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.”

(Romans 4:20 &21 KJV)

Colossians_3-16-3: Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. God Answers Prayers

God wants us to believe His Word and stand absolutely and confidently on it. He wants us to be resolute in our belief, believe it so much that you can start working on it before you see the manifestation. You believe it so that God will honour what He says. Without the word of God, you cannot please God. But with the Word, you can be pleasing in His sight because God and His word are one. And obeying His word is obeying Him. That is why He gave you His Word. To know God is to know the word of God. That is why you must make it a priority not to observe rituals. Stop running from pillar to post! Stay in the word and get all that God has for you.

Isaiah_40-8: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever

Remember that the plan of God is that you should please Him. His plan also is that you should be representative of Him on earth. You are to replicate Him and reveal who he is to the world. He wants you to be conformed to the image of His Son Jesus Christ in all things because whoever has seen the Son Christ Jesus has seen our Heavenly Father. God according to Hebrews 1:2-3 “Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high“.

John_1-1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God

Jesus pleased the Father. In the same way and manner, God wants you and I to please Him by staking our lives out on His Word. Pleasing Him is believing absolutely and totally in the efficacy of His word. No matter what you are seeing you must come to the realisation that God in His love cannot fail you. Genesis 15:6 made us to understand that Abraham believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. The bible also says God is not slack concerning His promises. Let us, therefore, believe Him wholeheartedly and depend absolutely on His word because there is power in the Word. That Word of God will produce wonders in your life and you will testify in Jesus Name.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

TRACE YOUR WAY BACK TO GOD.

Posted on August 17, 2015 by Prayer

TRACE YOUR WAY BACK TO GOD

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts_2-38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

INTRODUCTION

The Lord said to the Church in the book of Revelation 2:3-5 that they have left their first love despite all their activities in the Church. Where did you leave your first love for Christ? You need to retrace your way back to Him today.

Psalms_51-2: Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

HOW CAN ONE KNOW HE OR SHE HAS GONE FAR FROM GOD?

Psalms_51-10: Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me

1. When you are prayerless or do not pray as before.
Luke 18:1:
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

2. When you do not enjoy reading and studying the word of God as before.
Hosea 4:6:
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

3. When you do not evangelise as before.
Mark 16:15:
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

4. When you find it easy to quit church meetings.
Hebrews 10:25:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

5. When you cannot deny yourself of food and water (i.e.fasting).
Matthew 17:21:
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
6. When you enjoy toying with sin.
James 1:15:
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Psalms_51-11: Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

CONCLUSION

Psalms_51-12: Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

The above points are danger signals to you that you need to trace your way back to God. Repent and go back to your first love.

God does not need you to defeat the devil. Jesus has already done it and given you the victory

Posted on August 15, 2015 by Prayer

God does not need you to defeat the devil. Jesus has already done it and given you the victory

1-John_5-4-3: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith

Ephesians 6:11
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Ephesians_6-13: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand

God does not need you to defeat the devil today. Jesus has already done it and given you the victory. (Colossians 2:15, Romans 8:37) Your part is to enforce the victory by simply standing your ground, which is victory ground. In other words, you “fight” from victory ground by standing. You don’t fight for victory.

Ephesians_6-11: Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil

In Ephesians 6:10–18, the passage on spiritual warfare, the word “wrestle” appears only once (verse 12), while the word “stand” appears four times—“stand against the wiles of the devil”, “withstand in the evil day”, “having done all, to stand”, “Stand therefore”. (Verses 11, 13–14) Four times the Holy Spirit tells us to stand. Yet, many Christian are focusing on wrestling their way to victory!

2-Timothy_2-19: Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity

My friend, you are already on victory ground. You already have everything in Christ. (1 Corinthians 3:21, 23) You are already blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3). The devil knows this. And that is why his tactic is to deceive you and make you think that you don’t have the victory.

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ

So when he attacks you by saying, “Look at that small sum in your bank account! How are you going to pay the bills?” stand your ground. Declare, “I am not trying to be rich. I am already blessed in Christ!” It doesn’t matter how much you have in the bank. You are richly supplied because you are in Christ. And as the need arises, the supply will be there if you believe it.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

It is the same with healing. The devil will try to attack you with symptoms in your body. He will try to put pain in your body, and make you feel weak here and there, so that you think that you are still sick. He is trying to make you believe that you don’t have your healing. That is the time to be conscious of Jesus’ finished work and declare, “I am not trying to get healed, I am healed! I am standing on the victory ground which Jesus has given me!”

Beloved, it makes a world of difference when you fight from victory and not for victory!

Prayer Neutralises Fear. Sermon and prayer point by Pastor E A Adeboye

2-Timothy_1-7-1: For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16

Hebrews_4-16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. .God’s Throne Of Grace

Read: Luke 1:5-13

5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,
9 According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

Prayer unleashes great possibilities to anyone who is given to it. Looking at the experience of Zacharias in today’s Bible reading, we can see some of the things made possible through prayer. First, when you pray, you attract angelic visitations into your situation. In other words, prayer brings the supernatural into the natural. Any time you are tired of the ordinary, pray, and you will see the supernatural. Are you tired of seeing ordinary results? Pray, and you will soon receive results that are beyond your imagination.

1-Thessalonians_5-17: Pray without ceasing

In addition, when you pray, your fear is substituted with calmness. Prayer causes fear to dissipate, because it is linked with faith, just as fear is linked with unbelief. While intensive prayers were going on in the temple, Zacharias heard an angel say “Fear not“. When you hear “fear not“, don’t jump up in excitement until you have found out the source of that command. For instance, if a man tells you not to be afraid, there may still be reasons to accommodate some elements of fear, because of man’s several limitations; but if God tells you not to be afraid, then you can rest assured there is nothing to fear.

Hebrews_4-16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. .God’s Throne Of Grace

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
Hebrews 4:16
Are you afraid? Pray! As you engage the prayer gear, boldness will surge into you, and before long, fear would have disappeared. If you are constantly tormented by fear, it is an indication of the absence of an effective prayer life. If you pray often, you will always be looking up at the sunny side of life. You will be optimistic. You will have hope for the future and easily accept that your tomorrow will be alright. On the other hand, if you seldom pray, you will always see the bleak side of life. You will be easily discouraged. You will be full of fear, worry and anxiety. You will equally be filled with suspicion. With fear in your heart, it will almost be impossible to do what you should do, go where you should go and be all you were created to be. Fear paralyses, don’t give room to it.

Key Point

Prayerlessness ensnares the prayerless fellow in the trap of fear. Only a fervent, vibrant and consistent prayer life can set him free.

Understanding The Abrahamic Blessing. Sermon and prayer point by Pastor E A Adeboye.

Understanding The Abrahamic Blessing. Sermon and prayer point by Pastor E A Adeboye

Proverbs_10-22: The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it

Memorise

Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
Numbers 23:20

Read: Genesis 27:27-29

27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.

Isaiah_44-3: For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring

Message

Ephesians_1-3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

When God called Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3, he instructed him to do certain things, while He promised to bless him in specific ways. One of the articles of this blessing in Genesis 12:3 was:
“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
We can infer from this Scripture that when a man is operating under the blessing of Abraham, his friends will also be blessed, and his enemies will most likely be cursed. Thank God we have access to the blessing of Abraham through Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:14). When a man is blessed, his children are also blessed. The blessing of God on an individual can affect the genealogy of that fellow. Your generations can be blessed because of you. God did not just promise to bless Abraham, He actually fulfilled it. The testimony of Abraham’s servant in Genesis 24:34-35, clearly shows God’s faithfulness to Abraham. Every good promise the Lord has made to you shall be fulfilled in Jesus’ Name.

James_1-12-1: Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him

Now, how can we define blessing? There is a generic definition of blessing and a spiritual definition for it. When all of your needs are being met and you still have extra resources left, generically, you can be said to be blessed. In other words, you cannot be said to be blessed when you are living from hand to mouth or you are begging. To be considered as blessed, there must be an overflow of resources. David in Psalm 23:5 spoke of his cup running over. After you have had enough for yourself and your immediate family, and you still have surplus, generically, you can be said to be blessed. It is good to be healed from a sickness, but it is better to be healthy.
You are considered blessed when, instead of just being healthy, the healing virtue flows through you. This shall be your portion in Jesus’ Name. On the other hand, the spiritual definition of being blessed is the attainment of a state in which all the forces on earth, in heaven and under the earth are summoned to come to the aid of a person in his or her bid to succeed or excel. This was exactly what happened to Jacob. Isaac commanded the heavens, the earth and all people to help Jacob succeed (Genesis 27:28-29). In the Name of Jesus, the dew of heaven will favour you, the earth will yield her fatness to you, people and nations will willingly serve you, and you shall remain head everywhere you go.

Prayer Point

Father, release the dew of heaven to me, grant me the fatness of the earth and let nations, situations and circumstances bow down to me.

When He Beckons To You. Sermon and prayer point by Pastor E A Adeboye

Matthew_20-16: So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen

Memorise

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
John 7:37

Matthew_5-6: Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled

Read: Exodus 3:3-4

3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I

Jeremiah_33-3: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not

When a king beckons to you, it means you have caught his attention. In Esther 5:1-3, when King Ahasuerus saw Esther standing in the inner courts of the palace, he immediately raised his sceptre towards her. By so doing, he was inviting her to come nearer. When God beckons to you, you can be assured that things are definitely taking a new turn from that moment. This was the experience of Moses. For 40 years, Moses was at the back side of the desert looking after his father-in-law’s sheep; but one day, this well-read and once very promising heir to the throne of Egypt (now turned shepherd boy) encountered the burning bush which was not consumed. He heard God beckon to Him saying “Moses, Moses”. From that very moment, his story was never the same.

Psalms_5-12-1: For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

God beckons to you when the day of your favour dawns. There is a user of this devotional: you have invested so much time and money in acquiring several degrees but you have not been able to use them. It appears God has forgotten you for some years, and you have been wondering when the opportunity will ever come for your certificates to work for you. Rejoice! Your time of favour has just dawned. God has just remembered you and is presently beckoning to you. Within the next three months, your life will go through a transformation, to the extent that it will be difficult for you to believe this is happening to you. When the Lord does this for you, do not forget to appreciate Him and testify of it.

In 1969, while doing my postgraduate programme in Mathematics, a friend of mine was doing his research on the coastlines of Lagos, and so he needed to visit all the coastlines and take samples from them. He decided to go to Ebute Metta, Lagos, for some samples. Because we were friends and I was available, I accompanied him. At Ebute Metta, we saw a very large signboard which read “The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG)”. Looking to see what the big signboard was referring to, we only saw a very little church. I turned to my friend and said “The big name killed a small dog!” We laughed and left. Four years later, somebody invited me to the same RCCG for the first time, saying “There is a small church at Ebute Metta where God is performing miracles.” I told him I had seen that church before – the small church with the big signboard”. Imagine what God is doing today after beckoning to me. May you heed God’s beckoning in Jesus’ Name.

Lamentations_3-22: It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

Action Point

What you look down on today may be your saving grace tomorrow. Ask for divine guidance in all you do.

Memorise

And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook: and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
1 Kings 17:4

Read: 1 Kings 17:2-6

2 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
5 So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

Jeremiah_32-17-2: Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

Message

Our God is awesome, and His ways are beyond finding out. Nobody can box God into a pattern or regimen. He can use anything He chooses to achieve His purpose on earth. God uses those who are lowly placed, and He also uses the rich. Luke 8:1-3 tells of some wealthy women who ministered to Jesus from their resources. Mary Magdalene and other women blessed by the Lord resolved to serve Him with the resources they had. Are you rich or wealthy? Do you serve the Lord with your substance? Experience has shown that those who have little are the ones who dare to give their all to God.

Hebrews_12-28: Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

This was the case with the widow who dropped her mites (Mark 12:41-44). Usually, the rich only give a fraction of what they have because they believe they are giving something big. However, God does not judge by size, He judges by proportion. Hence, the poor can give more than the rich in the sight of God, even if what they give is not as much as what the rich have given in quantity. Justifying why the widow’s gift was more than what the rich gave, Jesus in Mark 12:44 said:
“For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.”

Psalms_100-4: Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Moreover, not only can God use humans to accomplish His purpose, He can also use animals. In 1 Kings 17:2-6, God sent ravens to deliver food to His servant, and they obeyed. We have equally seen Him use birds too. When we began to build the Redemption Camp in those early years, there were some trees that provided shade which I instructed the workers to preserve. Some little birds came in their hundreds of thousands to perch on these trees. Whenever they descended on them, there would be no leaves left on the trees the following day. They were also very noisy. I wondered if they were demonic birds. Some of my children who had guns would enter their midst and fire some shots; yet, they refused to go away. Some birds were hit by the fired bullets and dropped dead, but the rest stayed on. At some point, it appeared the more they were killed, the more they multiplied! The situation became unbearable.

Psalms_28-7: The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

I therefore called on God to help us one morning. That evening, several eagles came and began to eat them up. Within hours, there was not a single one of them left. God has not stopped using birds! If He needs to send birds to meet your needs, He will do so; but you need to show Him that you can serve Him with all He has given to you. How faithfully have you served God? To what extent can you risk your life and all He has given to you for His service?

Key Point

God can mobilise all of His resources to satisfy the needs of those who can give Him their all.

Weapons For God’s Servants. Sermon and prayer point by Pastor E A Adeboye.

Weapons For God’s Servants. Sermon and prayer point by Pastor E A Adeboye

Ephesians_6-13: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand

Memorise

And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
1 Samuel 3:19

Ephesians_6-11: Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil

Read: 1 Samuel 3:19-21

19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

2-Timothy_2-15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Message

There are some principles of God that can be used as weapons by everyone, regardless of their faith. Divine principles relating to the natural world are given to all to harness the power inherent in them. For example, the principle of sowing and reaping falls into this category. However, there are some weapons of God that are exclusively for those who have believed in Jesus Christ. In this subset, there are some weapons designed for the use of God’s servants; one of which is prophecy. The Bible in Amos 3:7 says,
“Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”

Proverbs_30-5: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him

God attaches great importance to the words of His servants. In fact, if you walk closely with God, He will personally honour your word, just as He did with Samuel (1 Samuel 3:19). If only you can work on your relationship with God as His servant, He will become the backbone of your words. In other words, whenever you speak, people will tremble because they know God will back you up. In Ezekiel 37:1-10, God asked Ezekiel if dry bones could live, and he replied that only God could tell. Thereafter, God told him to prophesy: to make simple pronouncements from his mouth. He did, and God backed up his words. The result was a mighty army raised from dry bones.

Hebrews_4-12: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart

Another weapon available to God’s servants, closely linked with prophecy, is decrees. Job 22:21-28 reveals that if a servant of God can satisfy certain conditions, he will decree a thing and it shall be established. When you go through Scriptures, you will discover that those who skilfully used this weapon were mainly prophets of God. A heavily indebted widow ran to Elisha in 2 Kings 4:1-7, and he gave her certain instructions, decreeing that the little oil she had would continue to multiply until all available vessels she had were filled up. It happened just as he decreed. Notice that He did not say “Thus saith the Lord”. Similarly, a very rich, elderly and barren woman who had consistently taken care of Elisha was told “Madam, nine months from now, you will have a son.” She did not believe it, but it happened as Elisha decreed (2 Kings 4:16-17). When you hear a prophecy, you need faith in order to receive it and see its manifestation; but when it is a decree, even your doubts cannot stop it. As a servant of God, have you been using these weapons that God has made available to you?

John_15-7: If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Action Point

After worshipping God today, decree good things into your life, family, workplace, ministry, etc.
