Satan Targets The Holy. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Memorise:

Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.

Acts 12:1

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

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: Acts 6:8-15

8  And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.

9  Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.

10  And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.

11  Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.

12  And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,

13  And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:

14  For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.

15  And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.

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

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

Message

Holiness is very necessary for anyone who wants to fulfil destiny and make it to Heaven. Holiness also makes God to hide you in His bosom (Psalm 91:4). In other words, holiness provides a cover for the holy, whereas sin exposes the sinner. Sin exposes the one who commits it to shame, disgrace and pain, and it makes the sinner vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy. When you combine holiness with being a vessel of honour, you become doubly precious to God. You become like a delicate egg in His hands. This is why Psalm 103:13-14 says God will treat such a vessel with lots of care, remembering how weak and fragile he or she is. From today, the Lord will treat you with special care. You will be special to God and He will hide you in His love in Jesus’ Name.

Ephesians_6-10-1: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil

Ephesians_6-10-1: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil

Moreover, as an instrument of honour, never rest on your oars. Whatever level you may be on presently, you have only started; you have not yet attained the heights that God is taking you to. If you think that you have already arrived with respect to Kingdom tasks, you may attract unwanted things to yourself. Note however that the more God uses you, the more you will be of interest to the kingdom of Satan. Satan never wants any believer in Christ to end up in Heaven; so he will do all he can to stop you. Take Peter for instance: he loved Jesus so much that he vowed never to deny Him. This he said in spite of what Jesus had foretold would happen (Matthew 26:34-35). Satan saw Peter as a vessel of honour in God’s hands and immediately marked him out as a target. He did everything possible to bring him down, but Jesus prayed for him and he overcame.

Similarly, Satan picked on another vessel of honour – Stephen. Stephen was holy, full of faith and full of the Holy Spirit. He was also full of wisdom and was used to perform mighty signs and wonders in the early Church. Satan therefore stirred up serious opposition against Stephen, but he overcame them. When this failed, the enemies connived and brought false witnesses to lie against him. Satan never keeps to any rule of decency when he fights. He fights dirty. He kept working at it until he got Stephen killed (Acts 7:56-60). But unknown to him, when he thought he had won that battle, his chief vessel of persecution, Saul, was arrested by God and did even far greater works for God than Stephen did. In the end, the devil regretted his action. He wished he had left Stephen alone to have been spared the immense irrecoverable losses he got from his ex-loyal fanatic – Paul.

Action Point:

Pray that every target of Satan in your local church be protected from falling.

Prayer Can Subdue People. Sermon And Prayer Point by Pastor E A Adeboye

Prayer Can Subdue People. Sermon And Prayer Point by Pastor E A Adeboye

Memorise:

He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

Psalm 47:3

Read: Genesis 32:6-12 & 33:4

6  And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.

7  Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;

8  And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.

9  And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:

10  I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.

11  Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.

12  And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

4  And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.

Message

When Jacob was told that his brother, Esau, who had sworn to kill him, was coming to meet him with four hundred men, he was justifiably afraid and distressed. However, he prayed to God for deliverance, reminding Him of His covenant with his fathers. Several things happened to Jacob as a result of this prayer. After he prayed, God changed his name from Jacob to Israel (Genesis 32:28). Prayer can rename a situation or an individual, and it can also terminate the regime of an evil era induced by a bad name. When prayer ends a bad name, there will no longer be any reason to call the fellow by the former name. God told Jacob “From today, nobody will call you that name again.” As soon as He said it, every reproach the name had attached to him was completely erased. Royalty took over from there. From today, you shall no longer be called barren! You shall no longer move around in circles. You shall no longer labour without receiving a commensurate harvest. From today, sorrow, tears and disappointment have ended in your life!

Beside this, prayer gave Jacob power with God and helped him prevail over the anger of his brother. To subdue impossible human beings, you need power with God. The extent to which you can control men will be determined by the power you have with God, because it’s God who subdues men under you (Psalm 47:3). Whenever you pray intensely from your heart, power is produced. The power that prayer generates can be channelled towards achieving any goal. When you pray effectively concerning your business, the power to succeed in it is released to you. If you are struggling in your studies, you need to pray intensely, and the power to enable you do all that you should do to succeed in your academics will be released.

Acts 1:8 declares that when the Holy Spirit comes, power comes with Him. When you pray in the Holy Ghost with your heart, power comes. This power may come in the form of understanding difficult subjects you are studying, wisdom to relate with subordinates in such a manner that garners their support to enable you succeed in your assignment or ministry, and so on. Prayer also helps you to be victorious over men. Are people rising up against you? Pray! As you pray, they will be subdued. Is anyone threatening your life like Esau did to Jacob? Pray, and the Lord will subdue them.

Action Point:

One weapon every leader requires to keep the loyalty of their subjects and subordinates is prayer. Pray that God will keep those under you faithful to your righteous cause.

Message

One of the names or titles of our Lord Jesus Christ is Wonderful (Isaiah 9:6). The word ‘wonderful‘ is a combination of these two words: ‘wonder‘ and ‘full‘, which jointly mean full of wonders. Acts 2:22 says,

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:”

The terms miracles, wonders and signs in this scripture are placed according to their order of awesomeness. It means that wonders are superior to miracles in awesomeness and of a higher  grade. When you look at Jesus, you will discover that everything about Him is full of wonders. His Name is Wonderful because it is far highly exalted above every other Name (Philippians 2:9-11). His Name commands the compulsory obedience of every force or power that exists.

Not only is His Name full of wonders, but His love is also wonderful. No one else can love you like Jesus does. He loves you even much more than you love yourself. What about His peace? It is very unique; it is unlike anything the world can offer you (John 14:27). No wonder Philippians 4:7 says His peace passes all human understanding. If God gives you peace, who or what can trouble you? What of His power? It is equally wonderful. Matthew 28:18 says:

 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”

All authority comes under His divine majesty.

What about His grace? It is also full of wonders. The richness of His grace goes beyond what we are currently enjoying in this world (Ephesians 2:7). His grace is inexhaustible to the fellow who knows how to relate with Him, which is why He has a throne of grace that we can boldly approach to receive mercy (Hebrews 4:16). Grace made God’s provision available to us at the expense of Christ sacrificing His life on the cross of Calvary. In addition, His joy is wonderful, and so is His strength. If you have Jesus Christ in you and you give Him the freedom to do whatever He likes in your life (i.e. you regard Him as Lord and not as a guest), His wonders will be replete in every area of your life. Do you allow Him to do His wonderful works in your life?

Prayer Point:

Father, come and perform Your wonders in every area of my life.

Return Reduced Wages! Sermon By Pastor E A Adeboye

Memorise:

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Romans 13:8

Read: Genesis 31:36-42

36  And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?

37  Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.

38  This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.

39  That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.

40  Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.

41  Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.

42  Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.

Message

God is a righteous God, and as a result, He hates all forms of fraud. According to Leviticus 19:13, it is a crime to delay your worker’s salary for 24 hours. Do you promptly pay your staff – whether church or secular? Another aspect of fraud is manipulating your workers’ salaries. One Bible character who was a victim of this was Jacob. All the years he worked for Laban, he suffered a great deal. He was deceived, cheated, made to bear the losses his boss should have borne and earned an ever-decreasing wage. Laban was extremely wicked. But do you know that some employers today are like Laban? They take all the gains of their businesses and push all the losses to their staff, irrespective of what caused such losses. Also, while they plan to make more profit and push their staff to work hard at it, they hardly ever plan to increase their salaries. If anything, they continue to come up with excuses as to why such salaries should remain at the same level, or even be reduced.

Laban reduced Jacob’s wages 10 times. If you are happy to cut down your staff salaries rather than increase them, though your business is not diminishing, you are toying with Hell. If your business cannot afford an employee anymore, it is better to let such staff go after paying their entitlements. Take note of the words of Romans 13:8:

 “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.”

Every cent, kobo or penny you fraudulently cut off the wages of your staff amounts to a debt you owe them. Also, the fact that you owe your staff shows your lack of love for them.

You cannot be cutting down the salary or wages of those you love, while your business is doing fine. Do not be surprised that some employers who claim to be believers in Christ will die and get to the gate of Heaven, only to be told that they cannot enter in because of the debt they owe their staff. At that checkpoint, the entire amount owed will be found on them. They will then say “I am sorry; I am now prepared to pay the debts I owe my staff“, but the angels will say “Sorry, it’s too late.” The money such persons fraudulently stole from their staff will follow them to Hell-fire and torment them there for eternity. For your own good, go and restitute all the wages you have cut off without just cause!

Key Point:

Besides pride, another vice that God cannot stand in people is breaking of agreements. If you make a promise, you must keep it.

As Parents, It’s Important To Teach Your Kids To Obey You. Obedience

Ephesians_6-1: Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right

Ephesians_6-1: Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right

As Parents, It’s Important To Teach Your Kids To Obey You. Obedience

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

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

Hear, my son, your father’s instruction, and forsake not your mother’s teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.  Proverbs 1:8-9

Wise families fear and respect the Lord, and also commit themselves to obedience.

As parents, it’s important to teach your kids to obey you. Because this is how they will learn to obey God!

In the verses above, the word instruction is from a Hebrew word that includes the idea of counsel, warning, and correction. Dads, your role in the family is to be firm in instruction, to lay down reasonable rules and fair boundaries, and to give correction and fair discipline.

The word teaching in the verses above describes the work of a mom in the house. It’s a word that actually means coaxing or coaching. In other words, moms, your role in teaching is to push the kids a little bit like a mama bird with a nest full of little birds.

When it’s time for those baby birds to fly, the mama stirs up the nest, flaps her wings, and coaxes those little birds to elevate!

Parents, I want to ask you today, are you teaching your children to obey you? Furthermore, when your kids look at your life, can they see that you’re obeying your heavenly Father?

Wise families commit themselves to obedience.

Rather Than Pollute Your Christian Experience, Keep Living For God

2-Peter_1-4: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust

2-Peter_1-4: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust

Rather Than Pollute Your Christian Experience, Keep Living For God

2-Corinthians_5-17: 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: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new

“He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.”

2 Corinthians 5:15 (NLT)

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

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

What we as believers must realize is that we are fighting an adversary that is putting people under pressure so that they will deny their faith. But you must come to a point where you take some quality decisions like the three Hebrew friends who said to Nebuchadnezzar, O king we are not careful to answer you in this matter. Our God is able to deliver us but we want you to understand that even if He is not able to, we are ready to die and go to meet Him. Rather than pollute your Christian experience, keep living for God. Whether anyone is there or not, it is a personal responsibility to keep living your life to please Him.

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

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

2 Peter 3:13 says “Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness”. When you are living for Him, expect a manifestation. Keep your expectations high that things will change. Keep hope alive. God will visit you and it will not end on a bad note, no matter how it looks. You will come out of this situation. No matter the pressure or challenge always remember that this is the day that the Lord has made for you to rejoice and be glad in it. When you continue to hope in God and the breakthrough comes then it will be your day.

There is always a day out of the days that the Lord has made for your own visitation. So you have to keep hope alive because there is no manifestation for anyone who does not have hope. Spiritual hope is confident expectation that it will happen. You must continue to believe that it just has to happen. God will step in. He will come through for me and I know He will. You must keep hope alive any time the enemy tries to create doubt in your heart. Remind yourself it will still happen. I declare to you today that your hope will not be denied and your expectation will not be cut off. You will testify in Jesus name.

Forgiveness Therapy. The Burden Anger And Hatred

Luke_6-37: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven

Luke_6-37: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven

Forgiveness Therapy. The  Burden Anger And Hatred

Unforgiveness is classified in medical books as a disease. According to Dr. Steven Standiford, chief of surgery at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, refusing to forgive makes people sick and keeps them that way.

With that in mind, forgiveness therapy is now being used to help treat diseases, such as cancer.

“It’s important to treat emotional wounds or disorders because they really can hinder someone’s reactions to the treatments, even someone’s willingness to pursue treatment,” Standiford explained.

Of all cancer patients, 61 percent have forgiveness issues, and of those, more than half are severe, according to research by Dr. Michael Barry, a pastor and the author of the book, The Forgiveness Project.

“Harboring these negative emotions, this anger and hatred, creates a state of chronic anxiety,” he said.

“Chronic anxiety very predictably produces excess adrenaline and cortisol, which deplete the production of natural killer cells, which is your body’s foot soldier in the fight against cancer,” he explained.

Barry said the first step in learning to forgive is to realize how much we have been forgiven by God.

“When a person forgives from the heart – which is the God’s standard we see in Matthew 18, forgiveness from the heart – we find that they are able to find a sense of peacefulness. Quite often our patients refer to that as a feeling of lightness,” he said.

Barry said most people don’t realize what a burden anger and hatred were until they let them go.

As Jesus Is In Heaven, So Are We Here On Earth

Matthew_28-18-1: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth

As Jesus Is In Heaven, So Are We Here On Earth

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ . . .”

2 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV)

2-Corinthians_2-14: Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place

2-Corinthians_2-14: Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place

Life is filled with mysteries. Life will not give to you what you expect. Life will only give to you what you demand. By the reason of the fall, there is an adversary at work all over the nations of the world. People will contend for the things that belong to you. You will see people fight to take away from you what is rightfully yours. Knowing this you have got to make up your mind, guard your loins and ensure that you don’t sit by and expect that things would fall on you like a bag of cherry.

We live in a world that is filled with injustice and all kinds of mischief. Oftentimes, things are not as straight as they appear. You must understand these facts. However the mysteries of life can be unravelled when we apply kingdom principles. The kingdom of God overrules all other kingdoms. All other kingdoms are subject to the kingdom of God.

1-John_4-4: Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1-John_4-4: Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

As a child of God, you don’t need to be afraid. By the reason of your connection to God you are already a victorious person. 1 John 4:4 tells us “Ye are of God, little Children and have overcome them, because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world”. You are a world overcomer. You are a world system overcomer and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. We always win; it does not matter what the enemy does.

We are already declared the winner because Jesus died for us. He descended to hell; He rose triumphant over death, hell and grave. He is sitting at the right hand of the Father Almighty. He spoilt principalities and powers and made a show of them openly. So we are already winners. But we have got to step out in faith and act like the winner that we are. God wants us to always put on a far-above – mentality. Far-above is where Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father. Jesus is the head of the church. As He is in heaven, so are we here on earth. There is no material for failure in you. You can always win in the challenges of life.

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

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

God Qualifies the Unqualified, He Has Not Rejected You. God Does Not Reject Anyone

“And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse“.

Matthew 1:5 (KJV)

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.

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.

Rahab was a prostitute. She took a good look at her life and must have imagined how she would end up. She saw an opportunity when the servant of God who came to spy the land lodged at her house. She took a decision to end prostitution. She looked at herself and realized that of all the people in her city, God had chosen to visit her. She made a decision to end prostitution that day and start a new life. She made the choice to hide the spies and side with the Lord. If you check the Scriptures, Rahab is documented in the lineage of Jesus Christ. That’s God. That’s an uncommon grace. God qualifies the unqualified! So you see you are the only one who can rule yourself out. God has not rejected you. He does not reject anyone.

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

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

Don’t ever write off anyone, no matter how bad their situation is. Don’t write people off no matter how far gone or hopeless their case is. As long as a man is still sitting under the teaching of the word of God, don’t underestimate him. It was Job who said a tree can be cut down but as long as that tree perceives the scent of water it will sprout again and bring forth (Job14:7-9). Water here is a type of the Word of God.

Ruth was another example. Ruth and Orpah were married to the sons of Elimelech. They both lost their husbands during difficult times. Orpah turned back and we never heard about her again. There is no book documented in her name. They both got married to the same family and were introduced to the same God. They both had colourful destinies but when they came to a cross road in their lives, Orpah said what the world normally says; a bird in hand is better than thousands in the bush. That’s not what the bible says, it is a fable.

The believer walks by faith and not by sight. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law and went back but Ruth said the future may not look colourful, it may look ordinary, and it may appear as if nothing can happen but I’d rather stay connected to God almighty and I will not let go of his love for me. She went with Naomi. Ruth went with God and today a whole book of the bible is dedicated to Ruth. In the scripture, a Moabitess, Ruth, was found in the lineage of Christ. That is an uncommon grace.

Make a decision to go all the way with the Lord today and I assure you that you will also experience uncommon grace. I bless you today in the name of the Lord.

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

Keep Moving

“Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain . . .”

Zechariah 4:7 (KJV)

Whenever you come to the crossroads of life, get ready because God is ready to show you a dimension of himself that you have never seen. There will always be crossroads. You cannot pray, fast or confess it out of existence. Every one of us will surely come to crossroads several times in our lives. A crossroad is a place where you make critical decisions. Crossroads are part of your pathway to greatness.

1-Corinthians_2-9: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him

1-Corinthians_2-9: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him

Moses had the assignment of a deliverer, he was to lead God’s people out of Egypt and slavery after 430 years. They came to the red sea. The scripture tells us that before them was the sea, on their left and right were obstacles; behind them they saw the Egyptians with their choicest military personnel in hot pursuit. Remember they were in the will of God but that was a crossroad. What do you do when you are in God’s will and things are still difficult; and you don’t know what stand to take? Do you know what God said to Moses; tell them to go forward. You have come to a crossroad but go forward.

In Christianity there is nothing like retreat, you don’t go back. That was why when they crossed the sea, the Lord told Moses to lift up his hands and the sea covered. In other words you can’t go back no matter the crossroad you encounter in life or in your pathway of serving God. Go forward, don’t retreat. Don’t run away from battle. Go forward and you will see the salvation of God. Whenever you go forward you see God in another dimension. You see him do the unusual.

Child of God, I challenge you now to go forward. Keep moving. The mountain will fall before you. Just go forward. I can assure you that when you are faced with a mountain and you are determined to go on irrespective of obstacles, supernaturally, the mountain will either give way or you climb over the mountain or you go under it or you bore a hole through it. One thing is sure; you are getting to the other side. Beloved rejoice because I already see you on the other side.

This year you And I will testify in Jesus name

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

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

This year you And I will testify in Jesus name

“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”

Romans 1:17 (KJV)

I don’t know how we came about the idea that simply because we are in the will of God challenges will not come. The fact that you are in the will of God does not give you immunity from the challenges of life. The fact that you are in the will of God is the more reason the enemy would come against you. Oftentimes when people are in the will of God, the challenges they face are so big that they will begin to wonder; did God really promise? Did God really speak to me? Could it be my flesh that was speaking? Could it be that God didn’t say anything about my situation? This is the position a lot of people find themselves in.

1 John 4:4 tell us “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world”. 1 John 5:4 tells us “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith”. As God’s children, we already have the victory. By the reason of your connection to God you are already a victorious person. We are already declared winners because Jesus died for us.

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

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

I challenge you now to walk in the victory that Jesus has obtained for you. Believe in what He obtained for you and walk in it. Understand that He paid the full price for your victory and there is nothing the adversary can do about it. That is why Jesus himself said “it is finished“. In other words, everything that is needed to be done for your victory over sickness, disease, poverty, failure and disappointment is fully accomplished and the enemy cannot reverse what has been accomplished concerning you. Rise up now and walk in the reality of the victory that you have. This year you will testify in Jesus name. I bless you in the name of the Lord.

Get Ready God Is Going To Prove Himself In Your Life.

Jeremiah_32-27: Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Jeremiah_32-27: Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Get Ready God Is Going To Prove Himself In Your Life

“Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.”

Isaiah 44:6 (KJV)

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

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

As we step into a new era physically and spiritually, it is important that we understand the mind of God for every season. It will be a time of satanic attack upon the earth but God will be God in your life. Darkness may be around you but the light of God will shine in your life, family, business and the church will experience great increase in every area. God wants us to leave Him to be who HE is. We are to be spectators and let God be God. Things will happen divinely and supernaturally because He is God. So let Him be God in your life.

The truth is that God is in a class of His own and He wants us to leave Him in His exclusive class. Let Him be God alone that He may show to the world His wonders with the happenings in your lives. How are you going to run with horses if merely running with men is wearying you out? Get ready God is going to prove Himself in your life. If you are thinking that things will be normal before God shows up then you are mistaken. Get ready to be lifted above your wildest dreams. Your rising has started. You have stayed long enough on the floor. God is going to strategically position people for your sake.

The evil that will come on the earth will not come near you. Only with your eyes will you see it but it will not come near you because God is God. He will defend you. He will shield you from all evil and show you His goodness. How can you not manifest in this season when the Almighty is on your side. It is your season. So rejoice and be expectant. It will rain in your desert and there is nothing the devil can do about it. Your harvest will be bountiful. I bless you today.

Enjoy True Spiritual Intimacy In Your Marriage

Enjoy True Spiritual Intimacy In Your Marriage

Our Marriage is forever (Photo by Pastor Davis)

Our Marriage is forever (Photo by Pastor Davis)

A strong, healthy marriage doesn’t just include physical intimacy between a husband and wife, but also spiritual intimacy.

What is spiritual intimacy? It is a sense of unity and mutual commitment to God’s purpose for our lives and marriage, and respect for the special dreams of each other’s hearts. It’s the greatest depth of intimacy we experience in marriage.

Intimacy Necessitates Value, Energy, Sacrifice, and Trust. Let’s explore those four areas as they relate to spiritual intimacy.

Value: “I value God’s purpose for your life and the dreams of your heart.”

In marriage, a husband and wife are a team. One is not more important than the other, and together God uses both to accomplish His purposes. That means a husband and wife must each work to help their partner reach their full potential. They are dream-makers for each other, not dream-breakers.

Energy: “I commit to pursuing God personally and together to find and fulfill God’s call on my life, your life and our marriage.”

In making this commitment, a husband and wife collaborate to fulfill God’s call on their lives and marriage. This means putting in the work and energy. Pray together. Worship together Seek God together. Retreat together.

Sacrifice: “I sacrifice the desire to only promote myself or to worry about myself.”

Selfishness is a marriage-killer. God put us together to build each other up and to work as a team. This can be a struggle because humans are naturally selfish. That’s why we must sacrifice this innate self-regard. We have to set it aside in order to build true intimacy. Put your spouse first.

Trust: “I will create an atmosphere where you can share your deepest spiritual desires and dreams and know that they’re honored by me.”

A husband must be his wife’s safest place, and the same goes for a wife. Each person in a marriage must be able to share their dreams without worrying those dreams will be shot down, belittled, or ignored.

Husbands, if you are not prepared to honor your wife’s deepest dreams, don’t expect her to open up to you. Wives, your husband will not share his spiritual desires with you if he expects you to devalue them.

Dreams are sensitive things. Research shows that most couples’ worst fights occur on a dream level. You may dream of financial security. You may dream of a loving, orderly home where children are valued by their parents. You may dream of a house filled with peace.

If your spouse dreams of her house being a restful retreat but you are constantly introducing chaos into the home, you’re not just making her anxious. You are actively attacking her dream.

Having a spouse that fights against or somehow damages that desire can be heartbreaking in a marriage. Help each other pursue each other’s dreams. Don’t stand in the way of them.

Value! Energy! Sacrifice! Trust!  Exhibit these behaviors toward your spouse to enjoy true spiritual intimacy in your marriage.

Book Of Remembrance Was Written Before Him For Them That Feared The LORD

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.

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.

“Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.”

Malachi 3:16 (KJV)

Things you have been struggling to do over the years will be easily realized. While others are crying, you will be testifying. Incredible things will happen in your life and it will affect your business, your finance, your health, marriage, family and ministry. It will touch different areas of your life. You will see GOD arranging things in your favour. That is when God is God. I am so excited over you. Your testimony will dazzle the world. Your rejoicing will not be cut short. Your mouth will testify and it will be noised abroad. You will be celebrated. I congratulate you today because you are next in line for a miracle. Get ready!

Joseph said to the butler, “Remember me” and he was forgotten for two years but God was not silent. God was working out something. Who told you that you are forgotten? God remembered Rachael and she conceived. God has remembered you because He remembers his people. In the natural, it looked as if Joseph was abandoned but God was working, waiting for the appointed time. Child of God, this is your time. When Joseph took his hands off every arrangement, then, God became God. Joseph took his hands off when no one remembered him, no one spoke for him, but then Jehovah said “It is your time“.

When they checked, no one in the entire land could interpret the king’s dream. Who told you that you are forgotten? God has your number and you will be remembered. Your case is not forgotten. God is about to surprise your detractors. He has remembered you.

The name “God” means the one who does supernatural things. He is not like man. He does the impossible. I see Him showing you off to the world because He is God. He took Moses from his parents into the very palace of Pharaoh who wanted his head. God is God! You can’t beat His wonders. That is why I know that the enemy will not touch you. He has not found iniquity in you because you are in Christ. All God sees is the beauty of Christ. He is our God and He will provide for us.

Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid

Joshua_1-9: Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Joshua_1-9: Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Joshua 1:6-11

Esther 6-8;

Acts 6

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.

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.

Be strong and very courageous. —Joshua 1:7

Whether it’s the loss of a job, the loss of a loved one, a serious illness, or a financial setback, every major change brings challenges.

The book of Joshua is recommended reading whenever we find ourselves in transition. After 40 years of wandering and setbacks, God’s people were poised to enter the Promised Land. Moses, their great leader, had died, and Joshua, his assistant, was in charge.

God told Joshua to “be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go” (Joshua 1:7). God’s words of direction were to be the bedrock of Joshua’s leadership in every situation.

The Lord’s charge and promise to Joshua apply to us as well: “Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (v. 9).

Prayer:

Father, I’m bringing You my trials and frustrations. You know each and every detail. Please comfort me as only You can, and provide exactly what I need for today. Help me give my unfulfilled expectations to You, trusting You’re working out a plan for me.

God remains faithful in every change.

Devil, Fear and Doubt

Posted on by

Psalms_23-4-1: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Psalms_23-4-1: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Then he began to call down curses on himself and he swore to them, ‘I don’t know the man!’ Immediately a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: ‘Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.’ And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Matthew 26:74-75

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

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

Ever since the fall of man, the devil has been actively working to sow doubt and denial in the body of Christ.

The devil succeeded in his evil work in the Garden of Eden, tempting Adam and Eve and causing sin to enter the world: “Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, ‘Did God really say, “You must not eat from any tree in the garden”?'” (Genesis 3:1)

Satan succeeded again with Peter on the night of Jesus’ betrayal-in Matthew 26:69-75, Peter disowned Jesus.

If it could happen to Peter, one of Jesus’ faithful disciples, it could happen to anyone.

The devil will try to instill fear and doubt in whatever way he can. If he can get you to doubt the power and presence of Christ, he has succeeded in his evil work.

Do not give the devil the opportunity to sow these seeds. Rebuke him in the name of Jesus!

Ezekiel 33

    Matthew 3:1-3

Matthew 10:16-20

Child Of God, God Is God Whether On The Sea Or In The Land Or In The Air. No Storm Of The Enemy Will Kill You

Jeremiah_32-27: Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Jeremiah_32-27: Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”

Numbers 23:19 (KJV)

1-Samuel_2-2: There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God

1-Samuel_2-2: There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God

We must learn to leave God in His exclusive class. In His dealings with us as his children, let’s leave Him and keep working with Him. He came through for the children of Israel after 430 years in Egypt. Let’s not be in the company of those who say that it never happened. The truth is that it happened. He came through for Joseph. He came through for David. For 13 years David was running from pillar to post because he was on death roll but God saw him through. If God saw all these people through He will see you through, if you will only believe.

Today I am still going to show you some people for whom God came through. Look at Paul! Several attempts were made on his life. The devil tried many ways to kill him on his way to Rome but God said Paul you are going to get to Rome. Some people took an oath that they will not break their fast until they have killed him but God used a small boy to expose their plot. Why? It is because Jehovah has spoken and His word cannot be broken. And on their way to Rome the storm came from nowhere but the Lord assured him that even if it is on a piece wood Paul was going to get to Rome and they landed.

When they landed, the devil said now that you are on land I am going to kill you still. A viper fastened itself on him and they thought that he was going to die because if such snake bites you, you are dead. But Paul was still standing.

Child of God, God is God whether on the sea or in the land or in the air. If He delivered on the sea, He will deliver on the land. I declare to you today that no storm of the enemy will kill you. They may come against you in one way but they shall be scattered. You will fulfil your purpose in life and arrive at your destiny. Your life will not be cut short. No matter the situation, God will come through for you. You will testify. I bless you in the name of the Lord.

Child Of God, Stay Focussed On God. Don’t Act In Ignorance

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

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

“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.”

Isaiah 43:2.

Beloved, what I want you to put at the back of your mind is that God will always come through for His people. If He said it, He will do it. If you check the scriptures for His track record, you will discover those He came through for. He came through for Sarah and Abraham. He made a promise to them and twenty five years down the line, it seemed it will not happen but it eventually happened. They had occasion to doubt and to turn their back on God but they stood their ground.

He came through for Zachariah and Elizabeth who were serving God, committed and dedicated. The scripture is careful to tell us in Luke chapter one that these people were serving God faithfully and yet they had no child. They had grown old and there was no possibility of having a child. They didn’t turn their back on God or get angry at Him. But it was when they were in active service in the temple that the Lord came through for them. Let me ask you, when you are angry at God what can you do to Him? I make bold to tell you that whether you serve him or not, He still remains God. Love Him or not, He is still God.

The other day Job was trying to tell God all his qualifications and was saying based on that, he doesn’t see why he should suffer the things he was suffering. I feared you and eschewed evil but look at what has befallen me. Everything I had has been wiped out. How can you say that you love me and these things are happening? Job queried. When he was through with all his questions, in Job 39, God said Ok, it is time for me to ask you my own questions; because if you want to come to me by your merit I will prove to you that you will score something worse than a “fail“. To prove to you that you are zero, I am going to use the everyday things to talk to you. And God began to ask, “Do you know how a goat gives birth to a child? And God asked him several other questions and by the time He was through Job said I was stupid and I have acted in my ignorance. Child of God, stay focussed on God. Don’t act in ignorance. I assure you He will come through for you. I bless you in the name of the Lord.

INTRODUCTION:

All the children of God need to care for one another. This is what the Lord Jesus Christ expects from every one of us. By this shall all men know that we are His.

[He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.]

 

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 ]

 “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

 

HOW DO WE SHOW CARE, ONE FOR ANOTHER?

  1. By Praying For One And Another.

“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

 

 

  1. By Giving Good Things To One Another.

Matthew 6:3-8

 

  1. By Visiting One Another.

Matthew 25:34-40.

 

“ Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me ”

  1. By Encouraging One Another To Stand In Faith.

 

Colossians 3:16

“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.”

CONCLUSION:

It is the Lord’s command that we should love one another and care for one another. This is a sign that we are His true disciples.
