1 When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry; 2 And came even before the king’s gate: for none might enter into the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth. 3 And in every province, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes. 4 So Esther’s maids and her chamberlains came and told it her.

1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house. 2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand.

Matthew 16:18

Introduction: When God says He would do something, it can be considered already done. Psalm 33:8-9.

Long before John said, “Behold the lamb”….in John 1:29, it was already settled. Revelation 13:8. Hence when He said “I will build my church” it implies that nothing will stop the church from being built. Luke 1:31-33.

May God Bless us richly as we study in Jesus name. Amen!

He can use a maid, servant or prophet. He can use a fisherman, a little unknown boy, the rich, birds of fish. His work…

Bible Study Outline: JESUS.  The Redeemed Christian Church Of God. 61st Annual RCCG Convention. August 2013. Theme: JESUS.

Introduction:

There has not been any man who walked on the face of this earth like Jesus. Because He is God who became man, John 1:1-14. No name like His. Philippians 2:9-11. And all begins and end with Him, Colossians 1:17. As we study Him, may we be mightily blessed in Jesus Name, Amen!

1.      What Jesus Did For Us.

No man has done more for the human race than Jesus. He saves, by His blood; heals, by His stripes; delivers, by being the truth; supplies, through His riches and protects, through His superior fighting ability. Matthew 1:21. 1 John 1:17; Exodus 15:26; 1 Peter 2:24; John 8:32, 36; John 14:6

Sermon and prayer points by Pastor E A Adeboye. The Wonders of Divine Blessings. RCCG July 2013 Holy Ghost Service.

TEXT: Genesis 12:1-3.

When a man is blessed of God, his friends are blessed and his enemies are in trouble because God says He will bless them that bless him, and curse him that curse him.

Abraham was a blessed man, his servant testified to this in Genesis 24:35 saying “And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.”

There are two basic definition blessings
