Jesus Has Ordained Us To Receive Answers To Our Prayers

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my Name, He may give it you (John 15:16)

One of the wonderful blessings of the new creation life is our privilege to talk directly to God in prayer, and receive answers. When Jesus walked the earth physically, anyone who needed a divine intervention or wanted anything from God had to get to Jesus and make requests of Him. But towards the end of His earthly ministry, The Master declared “And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask…

“The Wonders of His Name.” Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye During January 2013 Holy Ghost Service

WONDERS OF HIS NAME

Thank you Jesus, brethren, all your journeys last year; left to the devil you will not be alive today, but in spite of everything that the enemy did last year, you are still here today.

I want you to go ahead and praise the Almighty God, bless His holy name, give Him glory, give Him honor, and give Him adoration.

Worship the King of kings, bless Him because the devil has lost the battle, give Him glory, give Him honor, give Him adoration.

He is worthy to be praised, He is worthy to be adored, in all your journeys last year, He kept you save; in going out, in coming in, He was with you.

Throughout last year, you did not have…

Pray Every Day

                          “Devote Yourselves To Prayer…”  Colossians 4:2 NAS

Each night a little girl would throw one of her shoes under the bed before going to sleep. When her mother asked why, she replied, “My Sunday School teacher said if I have to get down by my bed in the morning and look for my shoe, it’ll remind me to say my prayers while I’m there.” If it helps, Why Not! Throw your shoe under the bed every night!

Prayer is the life force that sustains us spiritually. David wrote. “As the deer paints for streams of water, so my soul pants for you….My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? (Psalm 42:1-2 NIV)

In his book, The Power And Blessing, Pastor Jack Hayford writes: “I had gone on vacation and I needed…

Behold, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers (3 John 1:2)

INVEST IN SPIRITUAL THINGS!

Even though much emphasis is sometimes placed on God’s concerns for our health, wealth and general wellbeing, God is more concerned about your spiritual growth and wellbeing than anything else. He’s more interested in the growth and development of your human spirit, for He knows that when your soul and spirit prosper, you’ll also prosper in your health, finances and other areas of your life.

It’s essential that your spirit grows unto maturity, for that’s the only way you’re guaranteed to live a successful life. Success is beyond buying a car or choice cars, owning a house or an estate, giving birth to a child, passing your exams, or landing a good job. True success is when you’re living in God’s perfect…

Break Free From Self Rejection; The Chain Of Poverty

Poverty and Shame shall be to him that refuses instruction (Proverbs 13:18)

Always, I tell people that poverty isn’t the necessarily the absence of required necessities but a mindset or mentality. It has nothing to do with material possession but a way of life. The poverty mentality is entrenched in the system of this world, and a man will remain bound by it as long as he operates under that system. Self-rejection is the chain that poverty (The devil) uses to bind people.

A poor man would say, “I’m nothing. I’m a no good. I’m just a beggar.” He talks that way because of the wrong mentality. So if he meets someone who is well dressed, he’s immediately intimidated. Always, he thinks people address him on the basis of his…

Submission to Godly Authority
2 Corinthians 1:24“Not that we have dominion [over you] and lord
it over your faith, but [rather that we work with you as] fellow
labourers [to promote] your joy, for in faith (in your
strong and welcome conviction or belief that Jesus is the
Messiah, through Whom we obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom
of God) you stand firm”

We all have specific skills and gifting in the body of Christ but
without direction of leadership we will all pull in separate
directions. God placed authorities in our lives for a good
reason. Through submission to your authorities will you be able
to be more effective in running your race. It’s not a one
man/woman thing but team effort.

Actions speak Louder than Words. Exemplify Christ through your actions.

2 Thessalonians 1:12:“Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be
honoured because of the way you live, and you will be honoured
along with him. This is all made possible because of the grace of
our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.”

A lot of times we think people listen to what we say, but in
actuality they watch what we do. Today take some time to walk the
talk and exemplify Christ through your actions.

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

Saved by Grace. (It is
only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)

Ephesians 2:5: “That even though we were dead because of our
sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is
only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)”

You were raised to Heavenly places with Christ the day you
accepted Him as Lord and Saviour. It absolutely had nothing to do
with anything you ever did or are going to do but what Christ did for us.

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

Grace- The Power of Promotion

“For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south” (Psalm 75:6).

Promotion, the Bible says, doesn’t come from the east, west, or south, but from God. The Lord delights in promoting His kids; that is, taking them from one level to a higher level in every aspect of their lives. He detests stagnation and retrogression; that’s why He wants you to make progress and move forward in this year 2013. The Bible says, “…the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18). The exciting thing about favour is that its promotion defies human logic and awes the natural mind. This year is your set time to experience supernatural promotion.

As a child of God, you need to understand that God’s grace is upon you and…

Men Ought Always To Pray And Not To Faint

Take Advantage Of Prayer Time!

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint (Luke 18:1)

Prayer is a privilege as well as a right given to us to approach Our Heavenly Father in faith and through His Word in The Bible, and by The Holy Spirit. Our Heavenly Father always wants us to take advantage of the opportunity and privilege of prayer. When Jesus said men ought always to pray and not to give up, He was looking at the connection that we have with our Heavenly Father! A connection that builds our faith through constant communication.

As we commune with The LORD in prayer, and He talks back to us, our…

It Is More Blessed To Give Than To Receive

The Benefits Of Giving

I have showed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of The LORD Jesus, how he said, it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35).

According to the opening scripture above, Jesus said “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” meaning “It is of more benefit to you to give than to receive.”The promise of blessing is to the giver and not the receiver. As far as God is concerned, the one who gives is greater than the one who receives.

An important benefit of giving is that when you give something – be it money or other material possessions, you “Conquer” that thing that you gave, and I’ll explain…

God Knows How To Take Care Of You (The LORD Is My Shepherd I Shall Not Want).

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures…. {Psalm 23:1-2}

God knows everything. He knows you and everything about you. He knows the things you need, and He knows how to get them across to you. He is that BIG! He proved this in the Scriptures when a certain Hebrew woman needed His help. She had given birth to a son at a time the Pharaoh of Egypt issued a decree that every Hebrew male child from two years down be killed. She tried for a while to protect the child, but it became increasingly difficult; so she put him…

Divine Health Is Ours In Christ Jesus. By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayst prosper and be in health…. (3 John 1:2)

God’s desire for us His children is for us to live in divine health! The life He gave us when we were born again is divine, and that life can’t be corrupted by any sickness or disease. The Bible however says that the believer has been delivered from death and all its effects (Romans 8:2). That includes sickness, for sickness is incipient death. The reason many Christians are still suffering in their bodies is that they are oblivious of this truth.

Some
time ago, God showed me a vision: I saw a man, a born again Christian, who was dying of a deadly cancerous disease and his doctors had given him up to die. This…

Communication (Photo credit: P Shanks)

Be Polite To Others

Let your speech at all times be gracious (pleasant and winsome), seasoned (as it were) with salt, (so that you may never be at a loss) to know how you ought to answer anyone (who puts a question to you) (Colossians 4:6 AMP)

For many in our country, acting in a polite and civil manner, after being exposed to protracted years of military rule is something to learn. Many are yet to learn the importance of the words “Please”, “Excuse me” and “Thank You” in their communication with others. They are of the erroneous belief that being polite is a sign of weakness in one’s character, but that’s not true. Rather, being polite is something that reveals the strength of character.

In James 3:13-14, the Bible says, “Who is a wise man and endued…

Christ In You The Hope Of Glory!

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory(Colossians 1:27)

The Christian is not a religious fellow, but one in whom all the fullness of Deity resides. If you’re born again, God dwells in you. This should give you a new mindset and confidence in life. There’s a big difference between us today – the new creation – and the Old Testament folks. God’s plan was to be in them, but they couldn’t enter into His rest because of unbelief.

When Jesus came, He came as “Emmanuel”, meaning “God with Us”, and thus was them until His crucifixion. After His resurrection, and the arrival of the Holy Spirit, the new creation – The Church – came into…

Your Mouth Is A Weapon By Pastor Anita Oyakhilome

Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff (Isaiah 41:15)

In Joshua 1:2-3, The LORD said to Joshua: “….now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you.” Thus, by this instruction the children of Israel knew that all they had to do to take possession of the land God gave to them was to step on it. Once they stepped on it, it became theirs.

But in the New Testament, there’s a difference. The power isn’t in…

Holy Spirit! The Spirit Of Excellence

Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps because an excellent spirit was in him, and the king thought to set him over the whole realm (Daniel 6:3 AMP)

Christianity isn’t a life of mediocrity, for the Holy Spirit, Who Himself is The Spirit of Excellence inspires excellence in all you do. When you recognize this truth, you’ll find yourself doing things right the first time, without having to try again and again to get it right.

Walking in excellence is giving The LORD the opportunity to express Himself through your mind, words and actions; it takes you off the sidewalk of life, and stands you out amongst your peers. Having the consciousness that you have an excellent mind will make you a success in your job, business or academics; it will reveal brilliance and high quality in all…
