Proverbs 21:30-31

No man or any creation of God can take counsel or manifest wisdom against the Lord. Such will surely fail.

The Alpha & Omega gives success, victory & of course safety belongs to Him. He knows the end from the beginning.

The world is battling with Covid-19; but He has kept us safe. It is His divine will for us. Psalm 91:10 remains our portion.

What Is The Basis Of Our Belief That We Are Safe?

There is safety in the blood of Jesus. Exodus 12:13 is my witness. As we plead that blood, we remain safe.

There is safety in the name of Jesus. Philippians 2:9-10. Also, Proverbs 18:10 affirms it.

There is safety in the spoken Word of God. The Word of God is the only thing that will NOT pass away. See Isaiah 40:8. How much of these Words do you know? Study & meditate on it daily. 2 Timothy 2:15 is relevant. So for Joshua 1:8.

There is safety in praise & worship. 2 Chronicles 20:22. Not just safety alone, but victory too.

There is safety in the hill of the Lord. Let’s do all we can to ascend. But who shall ascend? Psalm 24:3-4 provides the answer.

Prayer Points:

Isaiah 66:12. Father, please grant me peace like a river, with your glory flowing like a stream around me & comfort me on all sides!

Isaiah 42:16. Are you seeking the Lord’s guidance or direction on some issues? Remember, He is the Light in the darkness. Cry unto Him: Father, for the rest of the month, illuminate my thoughts & order my steps.

2 Samuel 24:25. Father, please accept the fruit of our lips & take away this plague [Covid-19] from Nigeria & indeed the rest of the world!

Genesis 8:1. God remembers, just as He remembered Noah & his family. Cry unto Him: Father, remember me & my loved ones & send help to us.

Present your personal requests to Him.

Let us share the grace ….

To tarry is to wait, to linger, to remain or to sit back in expectations.

Upper room is an abode where God meets and communicate with his children.

It is a designated place where you commune with God daily .

It is room of transfiguration where you meet with God to study his word, meditate on the scriptures. It is a place where God reveals important things about your life and others to you.

When you tarry in the upper room, it means you are waiting on God in prayers.

When you tarry , you receive strength isaiah 40:30, you can also wait for provision psalm 62:5,

You can wait for direction proverbs 3:5-8. We can tarry for God’s will to be accomplished Hebrews 10-36.

It is beautiful to wait on the Lord.

We are all waiting on the Lord now in the world and I pray that he will answer us speedily in Jesus name, Amen!

We must tarry like Noah, he waited and later gained salvation for himself and his family.

Hanna got tired of her situation and she tarried at the upper room and her samuel came forth
1Sam1:12-16.

King Solomon after his enthronement waited on the Lord and God blessed him

Daniel in Dan 9:3-19 waited on the Lord for Israel and God answered him .

Jonah in Jonah 2:1 prayed to the Lord from the belly of the fish and God answered.

Brethren, there is no better time to tarry than now and I pray that as we do the one who answered all these people of faith will answer us in Jesus name.

Brethren we must tarry to receive power from on high. Daddy GO told us the importance of tarrying during our just concluded conference.

We must give God our time. We must stay calm before him to receive instructions from him. You want to manifest the power of God, then patiently tarry at the upper room for the Lord’s arrival , obey all his instructions then you will be empowered to launch out.

God is always ready for those that request his attention. The question is are you ready? Isaiah 65:24. And it shall come to past that before they call I will Answer and while they are yet speaking I will hear.

Growing in the school of holiness requires persistent time alone with God.

Power and authority to wait patiently upon the Lord shall come upon us this season in Jesus name.

PRAYERS
1 Father, grace and auction to tarry in the upper room release unto me in Jesus name.

2. Father, After the order of Samuel help me to remain calm to hear you clearly in Jesus name.

3. Father, incubate me with the grace to pray in Jesus name.

4. Father, help me to hear you clearly as tarry in your presence in Jesus name .

6. Father, as I tarry in your presence make me untouchable I’m Jesus name

7.Father , please help me to please you in all I do so that I will reign with you eternally in Jesus name.

Thank you Lord for answered prayers in Jesus name.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” – Jeremiah 29:11

1 Kings 11:1-11 KJV

1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;

2 Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.

4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.

5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.

7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.

8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

9 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,

10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.

11 Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

Destiny is God’s purpose for a man’s life. It is a divinely pre-planned destination. It is the totality of God’s counsel for a person and what God has decided concerning a person even before conception (Jer.1:5).

As good as it is, at several points in life, it still depends on one’s attitude and agreement with God. God has a prepared destination for us and we must surrender totally to Him so as to avoid destiny destroyers that may want to scuttle God’s plan for our lives (Jer.29:11).

SOME DESTINY DESTROYERS
BIBLICAL INSTANCES

1. SOME DESTINY DESTROYERS

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE:

Lack of knowledge is a destiny destroyer (Hosea 4:6; Proverbs 29:18). If we are aware of our destiny, we shall be free, focused and fulfilled.

Failure to do so may lead to destruction. John 8:32; Isa.61-9; Heb.11:13.

PURSUIT OF VANITY:

Solomon pursued so much of vanity until he became a complete backslider. The privileges of wealth and lack of self-control ruined his destiny (Eccl.2:10-1, 1 Kings 11:1-10).

LACK OF FAITH:

Lack of faith is also a destiny destroyer (Hebrews 4:2; 1 Tim. 1:19).
PRIDE: Pride is excessive self-esteem. It is when you are filled with an exciting sense of credit due to yourself. Pride is a sin and it leads to loss and destruction ( James 4:6; Dan. 4:28-32; Prov.29:23)

SINFUL LIFESTYLES:

Sins not confessed and forsaken are dangerous because they provoke God to anger. A man who is living in sin cannot fulfill his destiny or attain destination which God has promised (1 John 3:4).

ANGER:

Anger is another destiny destroyer. Uncontrolled emotional outburst has led many people out of God’s purpose for their lives (Eccl.7:9; Pro.29:22).

PRAYERLESSNESS:

Prayerlessness is can cause the enemy to take advantage of a man’s destiny (Matt. 13:25; 26:41; Luke 18:21).

BIBLICAL INSTANCES
There are cases of people who, by one means or the other, had their destinies destroyed. They include: Solomon. (1 Kings 11:1-11), Samson. (Judges 16:6-18), Judas Iscariot (Luke 22:2-5, Matthew 27:3-5), Demas (2 Tim.4:10), Gehazi (2 Kings 5:20-27), Reuben (Gen.49:3-4), Achan (Joshua 7:24-25).

CONCLUSION:

Run away from destiny destroyers and make up your mind to live a life that will enhance the fulfilment of your destiny.

QUESTIONS:

Mention five destiny destroyers that you know.

Identify four cases of people whose destinies were destroyed from the scriptures.

ASSIGNMENT:

Give ten (10) examples of people who fulfilled destiny with relevant bible passages.

“For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” -Philippians 1:21

A genuine encounter with Jesus Christ compels us to re-define the guiding principles of our existence.

So does surviving a serious illness, accident, or pandemic. After his life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus, (Acts 9), Apostle Paul had to re-define his purpose in life.

After experiencing the faithfulness of God in difficult circumstances, Joshua did the same when he declared in Joshua 24:15: ‘..as for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord.’

In those circumstances, you do not need anyone to preach to you about God’s faithfulness.

You do not also require anyone to explain to you what the mercy of God, or His compassion means. Neither do you need any serious prompting to re-define the things that really matter in life.

It is obvious that covid-19 has changed the world for good. Thus, it can no longer be business as usual.

We must choose whether indeed we are on the Lord’s side or not. We need to re-define our life’s priorities, whether to continue to place greater premium on worldly things that have proved meaningless and unhelpful as we hide away from the killer-virus, or get closer to a loving God who, despite our unfaithfulness, has shown us such undeserved mercy.

In Luke 11:23, Jesus said: “He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.”

As believers and especially christian workers, we need to re-define how we serve God. Are you sure that Jesus is truly your Master? Jesus said in Mathew 7:21, that it is not everyone who calls Him Lord, that is truly His.

That means there are fake believers and fake christian workers. This should worry anyone who really desires to go to heaven. Do you have peace in your heart in the manner that you serve God? As a worker in God’s Vineyard or even a Pastor, are you absolutely sure that you are serving God with genuine commitment, honesty of purpose and without any skeletons in your cupboard? Are you distracted? Do you have another secret master?

When you kneel to pray or step on that sacred altar of God, do you experience peace or guilt in your heart? Roman 6:1 warns that we cannot continue in sin and expect God’s grace to increase in us. That means, a time may come when grace may cease in the life of the unrepentant.

When grace ceases, heaven closes and mercy stops to drip.

God forbid!

True Christianity is not a tea-party. Neither is it rocket science.

All that is required is genuineness of motive and a reformed heart.

Paul was a lettered man, yet he put aside his worldly reputation to serve God with total attention, humility and obedience.

Peter was a needy fisherman, yet he abandoned the greatest haul of his life, to follow Jesus.

They both had one thing in common: they totally re-defined their live’s priorities after encountering Jesus.

And they never regretted their choices.

You too can become a Peter or a Paul, if you choose to.

May you never know a better yesterday in your walk with the Almighty God, Amen!

Shalom.

“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.”_

Every human being needs divine help and support. In the name that is above all others, receive divine help to carry on in life.

Yes, our God is ever ready to help in times of trouble. Hebrews 4:16

Father, please let Your divine help be available to me always, in the mighty name of Jesus! Amen.

Romans 8:37
When you are anointed, you are not just an ordinary champion, You are a divine champion. You are a divine champion because the anointing of the most high is operating in your life.

2 Kings 1:9-12, 2:9-15 (Elisha said he wanted double and he got it)

What Anointing can do/Categories of Anointing.

2 Kings 6;8-23, A man of God arresting those that were sent to arrest him, that is the kind of anointing we are anointing we are talking about.

Anointing makes you more than conqueror, because there is a greater ally in you, 1 John 5:4. Mark 16:17. When you have this kind of anointing, you don’t bother about demon. Isaiah 54:16-17, 15, Deut.28:7.

Major challenge of living the anointed life.

1. If your ally departs:

You are nothing on your own. Everything you can achieve through the anointing is that God is with you but if the ally departs then the story will change. Judges 16:4-21

How can God departs, ways your ally can depart,

John 15:1-7, If you are not fruitful. If you are a worker or a minister and you have not won a single soul in a year, you have to watch out,

Revelation 3:15-16. Make up your mind as a worker/minister not to be lukewarm. If you don’t want to do anything for God, get out of the way.

if you are lying. Revelation 21:8, Psalm 101:7.
Why God hates lies

2 Kings 5:20-27 – Ghehazi got leprosy for lying

Acts 5:1-11 – Ananias & Saphira. They die the same day for lying.

Don’t out your signature in a report that is false.

The basic distinction between God and the devil is lie, John 8:44, Numbers 23:19, John 14:6

A child of God tells the truth at all times while a child of the devil tell lies always. Lies no matter how little will cause the Almighty God to stay away.

Lies is not just one fellow born by one mother.

It has a brother who is called hypocrisy, 1 Timothy 4:1-2. In the past one month, how many times have you lied. Angers of hypocrisy presently white as black is severe, Job 8:13, Job 20:5, 15:34 (Desolate). Watch it my brother.

it has a sister called flattery. Another word is exaggeration. Presently facts that are not accurate, Proverbs 26:28

What happens to flatterers

Job 17:5, if you flatter your friend, even the eyes of your children shall fail.

Job 32:22, The flatterer will die young. Don’t flatter, say things exactly as they are, it is crucial.

Psalm 12:3, the Lord will cut off all flattering leaves.

Why is the mouth the issue
It is with the mouth that you do evil things, flatters and exaggerate, Why?
Proverbs 18:21
2 kings 2:19-22
2 kings 2:23-24

Use your tongue to heal not to kill
Use your anointed tongue to win souls
Use your tongue to cast out demon, to command the lame to work. Stop lying, stop hypocrisy, stop exaggeration, sing praising to God, pray without ceasing. If you don’t have anything to do or say, be quite. Don’t misuse your tongue so that the Almighty God will jot depart from you.

Psalm 141:3
Lord the next time I want to lie, shut my mouth, don’t let me lie.

Ask God for mercy for all the lues you have lied in the past. Pray to Almighty God never again to exaggerate, never again to flatter and pray in the sp

The God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob
Jehovah the man of war
Your mercy endureth forever, and ever
Oh praise His Holy name.

Mark 16:15-20

Topic:

The Anointing

What is the anointing?

It is the power or ability released from God to man to perform miracles, signs and wonders.

Anointing flows like a river, river flows from the top to the bottom.
Anointing flows from God the father, Jeremiah 32:27, the one whom nothing can be too hard for. It flows from God the father, to God the son, to God the Joly Spirit, Luke 4:16-21, Isaiah 61:1-3.

God the father the one who can do all things anointed God the son. You will discover that according to Isaiah 9;6, the son is called wonderful which means full of wonders. He heals all those who came to HIM. Mathews 8:16, He even raised the dead, John 11:39-45.

The anointing kept flowing down, from the son to His representatives, Mark 3;13-15, Mathew 10:40, John 14:12. The anointing flows from God the father to God the son and from God the son to the disciples and from the disciples to the believers, Mark 16:17-18. The anointing can reach you, when the anointing reaches you, you can do all things, Mark 9:23, including Moving mountains, Mark 11:22-23.

The anointing is not to stop with you, you must allow the anointing to flow on through you, Acts 1:8. The same Holy Spirit that fell on the day of Pentecost is that same anointing that is in you since the day you gave your life to Christ, Acts 2:1-4, 1 Corinthians 12:4.

When that anointing reaches you, put it to work and it will amaze you what will happen. Acts 3:1-8.

What can stop the flow?

1. Doubt:

if you have any doubt in your mind, that can stop the anointing, Mark 11:23. You must not doubt. The devil may try to convince you, tell the devil what he will do when you pray for the sick and the sick get healed. Who are you going to believe, the devil or God. I think it is better to believe the Almighty God.

2. Wavering;

James 1:5-8. Don’t waver. If He can use a fisher man, He can use anybody. It doesn’t matter whether you are highly educated or not. Don’t wave.

3. Sin:

Isaiah 59;1-2. The power of God is mighty and more than ready to use you, but He expects you to be clean. He expects you to be Holy, Hebrews 1:9. How much of God anointing you want will be determined by how much you hates what He hates and you love what He loves.

4. You must stay under authority, Luke 7:1-10.

5. You must pray more, 1 Thessalonians 5:17. Spent enough time praying. The longer you pray, the better.

6. You must pray more in the Holy Spirit, Romans 8:26-28. Pray in tongues at least one hour everyday. There is no way you will pray in the Holy Spirit and you wont get the answer.

7. When the anointing comes to you, don’t abuse it. Don’t commercialise the anointing. The anointing of God is not for making money, the anointing is not for sale, Acts 8:1-13. Freely you receive, freely you must give.

8. Make sure you use the anointing for the will of God. Anything that is not used will be withdrawn, Mathew 25:14-30. Use the anointing coming upon you to witness, cast out demons, heals the sick and it will multiply.

Jesus said, come and drink. How much time are you willing to spend drinking. The almighty is bringing to you, the river of anointing, how much are you willing to drink, how thirsty are you? Spend time in prayer seeking for the Almighty God and He will soak you with the anointing.
John 20:21;

Prayer
Spend quality time in praying tonight, and ask God to fill you to overflow

1. Prayers of all saints (Rev 8:3) are a perpetual force against all powers of darkness.

2. Prayer is a mighty energy in overcoming the world , the flesh, and the devil.

3. Prayer is a force that must be used.

4. By prayers God’s vengeance is stayed.

5. Prayer affects God’s dealing with man.

6. To prayer without ceasing (1Thess 5:18) is to pray in every thing and to pray everywhere which is a command that expresses the sleepless energy of prayer and exhaustless possibilities of prayers.

7. Prayer can do all things.

Brethren let us spend quality time in prayers and God who hears prayers will answer us in Jesus name, amen!

1 Peter 3: 12 for the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayers!

This should encourage us!

Thank You Jesus

Galatians 5:1

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.”

Beloved, God has broken all the yokes of bondage in our lives so we do not need to attach ourselves to it again but be free.

PRAYERS
1. Oh Lord God Almighty, for the remaining days of these year, let our freedom be permanent in Jesus Mighty Name.

2. Please Lord don’t let me abuse The Liberty Christ paid for on the Cross of Calvary.

3. Personal prayers

Song

All the glory must be to the lord for he is worthy of our praise no man on earth shall give glory to himself .

Father we thank you for the life you have given to us up till this day. we give you all the glory for your church though we are not gathering physically your church is still marching on.

Thank You because we know you have answered in Jesus name we pray amen.

One of our stronghold as believers about God is that he is faithful when he promises he bring it to pass.

Deut 7:9 said know therefore that the lord thy God he is God, the faithful God which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and his commandment to a thousand generation

2 Timothy 2:13 said If we believe not yet he abideth faithful, he cannot deny himself.

What is going on in the world today can bring discouragement to many people, my prayer is that we shall not be discouraged in Jesus name amen.

Psalm 91 :1 said He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty.

Brethren the shadow of the Lord is very large that it can accommodate millions and billions of people, but is only for those that love him and keep his commandment.

That is why Daddy G.O will always use the word my children, he is referring to those that love God and keep his commandment.

In this challenging time may we continue to dwell in his secret place so that his shadow will remain our cover in Jesus name amen.

Finally 2 thess 3:3 said But the lord faithful, who shall stablish you and keep you from evil, the lord will keep our household from all evil, He will keep the church from all evil in Jesus name amen.

Prayer 1

Father in your mercy bring evil to an end in our land and the world at large

Prayer 2

Father by the resurrection power of our Lord Jesus Christ let everything that is dead in me receive life.

Thank you father in Jesus name amen.
