Nothing Goes For Nothing. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor Adeboye.

Pastor E A Adeboye. Open Heavens. RCCG

MEMORISE : And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, MATTHEW 17 : 1.

 
READ : MATTHEWS 17 : 14 – 21 :
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

 
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

 
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

 
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

 
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

 
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

 
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

 
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

 
MESSAGE :
In secular environments, it takes diligence to get to the top and it takes even more diligence to remain there. There are many people who work really hard to get to the top but upon getting there, they soon begin to relax. Diligence is even more important when it comes to spiritual responsibilities. You need to work hard to have an encounter with God but you need to work twice as hard to keep your encounter intact. To get the answer to all your requests, you have to invest a lot of time before God. Many people just get born again and begin to relax. If you want to command the miraculous you must be ready to pay the price. You have to keep running until you get to the finish line. There are people who have not given God their entire lives, yet they want God to always respond to all their requests. If you want a spiritual transformation in your life, you have to give attention and seriousness to the business of growing daily. Following Jesus Christ could be very costly, His standards are always high and He will never compromise His standard for anyone. If you want to operate in the miraculous, you must be willing to die daily. Self-denial is a basic qualification for discipleship and there are many courses you have to register for in the school of exploits. That includes fasting while others are feasting. It includes praying while others are sleeping. You have to study the Bible while others are spending time on things that will not add significant value to their lives. It involves spiritual discipline while some people are wasting their time away. Paul testified that he kept his body under in order to win the prize. Keeping the body under is self-denial. You are deliberately doing something to achieve something. Somebody asked me how I am able to fast for many days and I replied that it is always very easy for me to do so because each time I want to start a long fast I just go to the calender and count the number of days I want to go and I tell my stomach “look at that day very well, that is the time next time we shall be taking food” it is as simple as that.

 
To command supernatural situations, nothing goes for nothing. You have to engage in spiritual exercises ;

 
“Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17 : 21.

 
If Jesus said “men ought to pray and not to faint” ( Luke 18 : 1 ), it is very obvious that prayer covers a wide range of issues that should keep one very vigilant. It is in the place of prayer that there is a guarantee of continuous Open Heavens for every child of God. At the same time, there are many people who have lost many opportunities because of their understanding of the significant prayer in commanding the release of their heart desires.

Fasting is not just a religious exercise as some think. When you engage in fasting, you are equipping yourself with strong weapons to counter every attack of the wicked ones and take your victory in every battle of life. When faith is actively coupled with prayer and fasting, there is nothing that can stop your prayers from being answered. Every barrier that wants to stand on your way will always give in like we observed in the case of Daniel with the prince of Persia.

 
KEY POINT : Fasting and prayer is a combined spiritual weapon that commands the miraculous.

Prince Of Peace. Sermon And Prayer Point By Pastor Adeboye.

Isaiah_9-6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

MEMORISE :
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
ISAIAH 9 : 6.

 
READ : ISAIAH 9 : 2 – 7 :
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
MESSAGE :
In recent times, the entire world has been troubled by one thing or the other. Government of nations all over the world have explored all avenues and different theories to solve their problems, yet the crises increase. So many budgets are being voted by members of different groups all in the name of providing peace, and the more the investment of time, meetings, mediations and reconciliations, the less the solutions. Until we come back to where we have missed it, we will just keep reinventing the wheel. Also, individuals go through different forms of troubles and worries with no solution. There is nothing like an atmosphere of peace either in a nation or in the life of an individual. It is the greatest thing the world is searching for today and it is the best thing that can happen to a person.
Peace is saying no to violence and creating room for harmony and love. Those who do not have peace cannot experience wellness of life. When there is no peace in a place, it exposes everyone to hostility and aggression, but where there is peace, there is rest of mind and tranquility. I decree that you will find peace today in Jesus’ name. Finding peace is finding Jesus Christ. He came to restore the broken relationship between man and God. He came to reconcile us back to the Father. Jesus is the one who broke down every wall of partition between us and God.

 
“For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.” Ephesians 2 : 14.

 
No matter what you are going through in your life, there is a solution in Christ Jesus. In what area are you experiencing problems? Come to the Prince of Peace and He will give you rest. Are you having troubles and fierce storms in your marriage? Come to Jesus and He will step into the center of your home and give you peace.

 
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John14 : 27.

 
There will be trying times in the life of every child of God but you can be rest assured that in your troubled times, you are not alone. God will never allow the trouble to overwhelm you. He will make you experience calmness in the situation. It is important you know that peace is not necessarily the absence of war, it is the presence of rest and calmness in the time of war. Jesus will always bring light into every darkness. He will always speak peace into every storm. He presides over every unpleasant situation of life so that you can experience His peace.

PRAYER POINT : Father let Your peace overrule all my worries in Jesus’ name.

Great Invitation! Sermon And Prayer Point By Pastor Adeboye.

Matthew_18-11: For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost

Memorise:
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith The LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18

 
Read: Matthew 11:28-30
28. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29. Take My Yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I Am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30. For My Yoke is easy, and My Burden is light.

 
MESSAGE:
There are numerous invitations we receive during the course of our lifetime, but there is an invitation that changes the life of a person permanently and that invitation is only found in Jesus.

 
Sometimes, people can invite you to great occasions where you dine and wine with very important people in the society but that does not put an end to the trouble you are going through as an individual.

 
You dine with them, but upon returning to your private closet, you carry your problems again.

 
However, when you respond to the invitation of Jesus, He solves all your problems.
This is why you cannot afford to respond inappropriately to this invitation. With this invitation, you come as you are.

 
Present yourself to Him the way you are and let Him turn your life around.
This is why the invitation of Jesus is the greatest of all invitations; it is also unique because He has all The Power and The Resources to turn any situation around.

 
No matter how blessed an individual is, there is a limit to how many people he can help.
No matter how buoyant your organisation is, there is no CEO that can employ everyone in a country.

 
Jesus is the only employer who can pay everyone that comes under His Government.
There no restriction, it is open to all.

 
This invitation is to those who live under the stress and turmoil of this world.
He wants to deliver them from all their troubles.

There are those who have problems with their spiritual life.

 
Jesus is available to release Grace and Mercy in the state of their spiritual poverty.
There are people living under the bondage of emotions and religion.

 
Jesus wants to set them free and deliver them from all their battles both within and without.

 
There are many people who are struggling on the inside. When you see them, they appear alright but they have troubles, fears, worries, anxieties and depression.

 
Jesus is calling you to come to Him.

 
He wants to remove the yoke that the devil and His agents have put on you.
He wants to uproot every plant that He has not planted in your life.

He wants to deliver you from the burdens of this world that cause frustration and depression.

 
However, you must submit to Him before He can be of help to you.

 
It does not matter how far you have gone into the world of sin, Jesus is calling you to come.
There is no sinner without a future and there is no saint without a past but in Jesus everything becomes new;
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

 
One finds Peace and Rest of mind by understanding that his sins are forgiven by The Grace of God through The Blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross at Calvary. Because where there is no shedding of blood there is no remission for sins.

 
You can cast all your worries and anxiety on Jesus. It is part of your Redemption Right because all those troubles have been exchanged for Peace through His death.
However, you must know that The Glory of God is His Holiness.

 
His dwelling is in Holiness.

 
His Way is Holy and the invitation to us is not an invitation to lawlessness but an invitation to Holiness.

 
Prayer Point:
There is no sin that is beyond the redemption at cross.
