Simple Steps to Solid Scripture Bible Study

By John MacArthur, Grace to You

From the moment I sensed the call of God into full-time ministry, the driving passion of my life has been simply to understand God’s Word and then make it understandable to others. I have never aspired to be known as either an academic theologian or a distinguished clergyman. I simply want to know what the Word of God means and to make it known to others. All my pastoral energies-my preaching, shepherding, teaching, writing, and even visitation-are focused on that one goal.

It is my conviction that the Bible is not difficult for the believing heart to understand. And the more I understand, the more unshakable is my conviction that the Bible is the living, authoritative, inerrant Word of God. It has this remarkable effect on me: the more I study it, the more I hunger to know. So God’s Word not only satisfies my appetite, but also arouses an even deeper hunger for more.

I want you to experience that hunger too. I want you to live in the joy of a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ that comes only through knowing the meaning of Scripture. Here’s a simple process to get you started.

Step 1 – Reading

Begin by developing a plan on how you will approach reading through the Bible. Just by reading the Bible you become familiar with its themes, history, and contexts. There is simply no replacement for Bible reading.

Unlike most books, you will probably not read it straight through from cover to cover. There are many good Bible reading plans available (like The MacArthur Daily Bible). Here is what I recommend:

Read through the Old Testament at least once a year. As you read, note in the margins any truths you particularly want to remember, and write down separately anything you do not immediately understand. Often as you read you will find that many questions are answered by the text itself. The questions to which you cannot find answers become the starting points for more in-depth study using commentaries or other reference tools.

Follow a different plan for reading the New Testament. Read one book at a time repetitiously for a month or more. That will help you retain the New Testament so you will not always have to depend on a concordance to find things.

If you want to try that, begin with a short book, such as 1 John, and read it through in one sitting every day for thirty days. At the end of that time, you will know the book. Write on index cards the major theme of each chapter. By referring to the cards as you do your daily reading, you will begin to remember the content of each chapter. In fact, you will develop a perception of the book with your mind’s eye.

When you come to longer books, divide them into short sections and read each section daily for thirty days. For example, the gospel of John contains twenty-one chapters. Divide it into three sections of seven chapters. At the end of ninety days, you will finish John. For variety, alternate short and long books, and in less than three years you will have finished the entire New Testament-and you will really know it!

Step 2 – Interpreting

In Acts 8:30, Philip asked the Ethiopian eunuch, “Do you understand what you are reading?” Or put another way, “What does the Bible mean by what it says?” It is not enough to read the text and jump directly to the application-you must first determine what it means, otherwise the application may be incorrect.

As you read Scripture, always keep one simple question in mind: “What does this mean?” To answer that question requires the use of the most basic principle of interpretation called the analogy of faith-interpret the Bible with the Bible.

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!

May the grace the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to Have a Meaningful Quiet Time with God

How to Have a Meaningful Quiet Time with God

By Adrian Rogers

“Oh how love I Thy law! It is my meditation all the day.” Psalm 119:97

Christianity is not a legal relationship, it is a love relationship. Ten thousand “don’ts” will never make you one iota more like the Lord Jesus Christ. It is Jesus Himself Who makes you like Him. But you need to spend time with Him. I want to give you five factors for spending some quiet time with Him each day.

The Proper Period

You must find the right time. Your quiet time should last at least half an hour. But some time is better than no time, so if you can’t start at thirty minutes, begin with ten. It should be your very best time. Don’t give the Lord your leftovers. And don’t try to find time – make time, and make it a priority. Also find time early in the day. Psalm 5:3 says, “… in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up.” You don’t take the trip and then read the map, do you? Spend time alone with God to begin your day.

The Proper Preparation

A quiet time is fellowship with a holy God. There are a few things you can do to be prepared for this time. First, be physically alert. Find a time when the cobwebs are out of your mind and you can think clearly. Second, be mentally aware. Be focused, and know He’s there. Emotion doesn’t really have all that much to do with it. And third, be morally pure and clean. Some people don’t have a quiet time because they feel uncomfortable looking God in the face with sin in their lives.

The Proper Place

Find a place where you can focus. Jesus said enter into your closet and pray (see Matthew 6:6). That simply means find a place of isolation where you can shut the door on the world and open the windows to heaven. Jesus sought out places where He could be alone, and so should you.

The Proper Provisions

In order to have an effective quiet time, you need the right tools. Here are some tools I use:

• a readable Bible – Invest in one with plenty of room to jot notes in the margins.

• a prayer journal – Expect God to give you something and write it down. Also use it to record things you’re praying about.

• a notepad – Write down your daily assignments.

The Proper Procedure

Finally, may I recommend some procedures to follow in your quiet time?

Get still and quiet. The Bible says in Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God.” Focus your mind on Him. Calm down, relax, and recognize His presence. Take a deep breath and focus your thoughts on the Lord.

Get into the Word of God. It’s better to start by reading the Bible than it is to start in prayer. It is more important for you to hear from God, even than for God to hear from you. God already knows all about you, but you need to know a lot more about Him.

Read the Bible for quality and not quantity. It’s good to have a goal to read the Bible through in a year, or a similar goal; but that’s not the purpose of your quiet time. Also, devotional books are wonderful. But again, this is not the place for them. This is the time when you simply read the Bible with an open mind.

Meditate. As you focus on the Word of God and meditate, let it permeate you. Ask:

• Is there a command to obey?

• Is there a promise to claim?

• Is there a sin to avoid?

• Is there a lesson to learn?

• Is there a new truth to carry with me?

Record what God has given you. Write down what God says to you and what He tells you to do. It doesn’t have to be flowery. You’re not writing it for publication or to impress other people.

Now you’re ready to pray. When you pray, pour out your soul. Be natural and honest with God. Tell Him how you feel. Pray out loud. It keeps your mind on track and enables you to stay focused.

Begin to share out of your quiet time. God did not make us to be reservoirs; He made us to be conduits. Tell others what is God is showing you.

Finally, obey what God tells you. Your spiritual train is running on two rails. One is revelation and the other is obedience. And if either rail stops, your train stops. Learn to obey the Word of God.

I pray these simple suggestions will help you have a daily quiet time in the presence of our loving, almighty, powerful God.

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!

May the grace the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen

 

 

 

 

 

 

Write as you read and study your Bible


Česky: Kříže - symbol utrpení Ježíše Krista a ...

Write as you read and study your Bible

Have you ever read a portion of Scripture – perhaps even several pages or chapters – only to realize that you have no idea what you just read? Your eyes may be reading words but your mind is thinking about the phone call you just received or your day’s schedule. If you wish to know God, you must know His Word, advised C. H. Spurgeon.

How to make God’s Word come alive within you:

•Write out portions of the Word. Do you remember in elementary school when the teacher would instruct the class to copy a list from the blackboard? The teacher knew you were more likely to grasp and remember the concepts if you copied the words. God knew how prone His people were to forget what He had told them. Over and over, He challenged them to remember Him, to remember His law, to remember what He had done for them. Taking time to write out specific passages from the Word forces you to think about what you are reading and to observe the details of the text more carefully. You could begin by writing out paragraphs of scriptures on index cards, then meditating on or memorizing those passages.

•Write in your Bible. Underline verses you find particularly meaningful to you. In time your Bible will tell a story of your personal journey of faith during a specific period of time. Circle repeated words or phrases. Write cross references in the margin as well as noting the meaning of specific words or phrases.

•Record insights. When John was in exile, he was given a vision of heaven. The Lord appeared to him and said, Write on a scroll what you see…Write, therefore, what you have seen (Rev. 1:11,19). Likewise, you can write what you have seen in scripture. Use journals to record your observations and insights that the Holy Spirit has shown you while reading and meditating on the Word. Each time you write, record the date and passage you are reading.

•Record your responses. Ask yourself, What should I do? God told Ezekiel that the problem with His people was that they sit before you to listen to your words, but they do not put them into practice (Ex. 33:31). How does this truth apply to my life? What changes need to be made in my life?

•Record milestones in your spiritual pilgrimage. When the Israelites were attacked by the Amalekites, God used the occasion to teach the eager Joshua to rely, not on his natural strength or ability, but on the power of God revealed each time Moses raised his arms. Not wanting Joshua ever to forget that the Amalekites were his eternal enemies and that He alone had the power to overcome them, the Lord said to Moses, Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered (Ex. 17:14). This is perhaps the first Biblical illustration of what we call journaling. When you have spiritual achievements (understanding the death of a loved one, coming to terms with your frailties, learning about obedience), write them down as a reminder of the providence of God.

Make Appointments with God

Make Appointments with God

By Whitney Hopler

Imagine that you’ve been invited to meet with the President of the United States in the Oval Office. You’d likely look forward to your appointment with great excitement. Now imagine that someone much more exciting – the God of the universe – wants to meet with you personally. This scenario is true; God really does want to meet with you, and He wants to do so every single day through a private quiet time together.

Those appointments with God should be a source of great joy for you. But unfortunately, quiet times can sometimes seem too intimidating to schedule or maintain regularly. Here are some ways you can enjoy your appointments with God:

• Think about how much God loves you, and expect to be blessed as a result of spending time with Him. View your quiet times as cherished meetings with someone that loves you.

• Realize that the more time you spend with God, the greater the intimacy you’ll develop with Him. Although the idea of a daily quiet time might seem awkward at first because you might not know what to say or how to recognize God’s voice, after a while, you’ll look forward to the appointment because it will be like meeting with your best friend.

• Set aside a consistent time every day to meet with God. Choose a time at which you’re most alert and can block out distractions. Although many people choose first thing in the morning after waking up, the afternoon or evening can also work. Try starting out with a half-hour quiet time, and after you’ve developed greater intimacy with God, increase that time to an hour. It usually takes about five to ten minutes during the start of your quiet time to clear your mind enough to focus fully on God, so don’t rush your quiet time. But don’t schedule so much time that you become overwhelmed and lose your motivation to continue.

• Designate a special place in which you can meet privately with God. The place can be either indoors or outdoors, such as a home office or a garden.

• Relax! Don’t feel pressured to perform certain rituals during your quiet time; there is no one “right” way to conduct a quiet time. Think about what activities best draw you into God’s presence, then go with those.

• Seek God Himself rather than anything He might give you. Know that God will meet you where you are and reveal much about Himself to you if you’re sincerely seeking Him.

• Consider following a Bible reading plan during your quiet times. Then ask God to help you apply the verses you read to your everyday life. Meditate on Scripture and memorize it so it will renew your mind.

• Worship God in some way during your quiet times. Thank Him for His work in your life and praise Him for who He is. If you like, sing a worship chorus or hymn as part of your devotions.

• Ask God to reveal hidden areas of sin in your life, and make a habit of confessing your sins to God during your quiet time. Then receive His forgiveness and grace to do better. Invite God to use your quiet times to powerfully transform you.

• Pray for your own needs and desires, and intercede for others. Don’t give up; God will answer you in the best way at the best time.

• Pray against evil in your life and the lives of other people.

• Ask for the Holy Spirit to fill you during your quiet time to give you fresh strength and grace each day.

• Consider fasting occasionally to help you focus more on God.

• Consider writing down your thoughts, feelings, and prayers in a journal during your quiet time to more clearly express them. Read through our ongoing journal to see how God has been working in your life.

Joel Comiskey, Ph.D., has served as a full-time missionary to Ecuador. He and his wife, Celyce, have three daughters.

Do you schedule a daily quiet time with God? If so, how does it help you draw closer to Him? If not, what challenges do you face that discourage you from scheduling or consistently maintaining a daily quiet time?

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!

May the grace the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen

 

Never give up


Česky: Kříže - symbol utrpení Ježíše Krista a ...

Never give up

In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good (Ecclesiastes 11:6).

There are people, who perhaps started out on a business venture that seemed profitable and were excited about it at the initial stage, however, two or three months down the line, challenges set in and it didn’t seem like the venture was making as much progress as they’d expected and as a result they gave up the business. They should have stayed with it!

Possibly, you’re in a similar situation today; you’re at the verge of giving up something you started. My counsel to you is, stay with it and believe in your progress! Keep at it, and don’t give up. The Bible says, “…whatsoever you do shall prosper” (Psalm 1:3). Notice it didn’t say “some of the things you do shall prosper”, but all! Praise God. The hand of God is upon that idea, job or business of yours and will cause it to make progress and move forward. If you believe this, then you won’t give up, irrespective of the seemingly unprofitable circumstances.

If you find yourself experiencing challenges in any area of your job or business for instance, go back to the Word of God. It says, “In all labour there is profit.”  Whatever the challenges are, the Word of God will show you what to do. Even if you had mismanaged the business, there’s the appropriate Word from God to teach you how to be a better manager. Remember, God’s Word remains the best book on success and prosperity.

Therefore, in everything you do, never give up hope. Only make certain to follow God’s Word and practise what it says. That way, your progress, advancement, success, and profiting will not only appear to all but will be unending. Hallelujah!

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!

May the grace the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen!

A Muslim Boy’s Journey to Christ

A Muslim Boy’s Journey to Christ.

By The Voice of the Martyrs Canada

Faith

Imagine what it would be like if your decision to follow Jesus made you an outcast from your family and even a target for death.

That’s what happened to a man named Abdu. But the power of love broke down the barriers and brought him and his family back together.

These days Abdu and his father, Suleman, spend time praying and studying the Bible together. Some might call that a miracle since the two did not speak for nearly 20 years.

In fact, Abdu’s father once tried to kill him. Why? Because at the age of 16 he decided to leave Islam and follow Jesus.

An Unexpected Visit

The young man’s journey of faith began with an unexpected visit.

“I was sleeping and Jesus woke me up, and it was like a dream or revelation,” Abdu recalled.

Abdu gave his life to Christ after reading from a borrowed Bible. His decision made his family angry because in their Muslim community, leaving Islam brings disgrace.

“We didn’t know what kind of belief he brought,” Suleman said. “We were fundamentalist Muslims and were very upset. That is why we were against him.”

“Our neighbors also told us he brought a foreign religion here which is not good, and they said, ‘Attack him and don’t accept him,'” he said.

His mother, Semira, was also very upset when she learned her son became a Christian.

“I had deep, deep sorrow in my heart because I thought I had lost my boy,” she said. “I thought we can’t even be buried together when our days are over. It was a big sorrow at that time.”

Village leaders tried to intimidate Abdu by ordering a gang of young men to attack him.

“As I was walking to school, they met me on the road and they beat me very badly with a rope and made me suffer,” Abdu recalled. “They [asked] me, if this was my final decision. If I continued to be a Christian, they said they would take the full measure and would kill [me].”

Still, Abdu refused to renounce Jesus, and his father became so angry that he tried to kill him.

“We chased him out from our home because we didn’t want to be against our neighbors. He brought different things [here] so we chased him out and he went to another village,” Suleman said.

During his years in exile from his family, Abdu worked at a church as a security guard and grew stronger in his faith. He read more than 100 Christian books and began discipline other former Muslims who had come to Jesus.

Thawing Hearts

But Abdu’s mother missed him terribly, and after many years of separation, she slipped away to visit her son.

“During the six years, I had heard that he wasn’t drinking alcohol and doing bad things,” she said. “But the boys who were his friends here were doing those things, so I decided to see him secretly.”

Impressed by the changes in her son’s life, Semira began to consider Christ. However, it took 10 years before she too would leave Islam to follow Jesus.

“I believed that the faith of my son was true and correct, but now I had a big problem with my husband,” Semira said. “But I still decided to follow Jesus and tried to bring [my husband] to Christ. We showed big love to him and big changes in our character. This influenced him.”

About a year later, Suleman’s heart softened under the influence of God‘s big love. Now, he and the rest of his family, about 40 of them, are all Christians.

A hut on the family property is now a place of worship to the Lord and for hearing the Gospel.

“I’m very happy that my family has come to Jesus,” Abdu said. “But the biggest thing that makes me excited is that near the home [where] I grew up is a place being used as a church. People are coming and praying and giving their lives to Christ!”

A Missionary to Muslims

Abdu is now a missionary to Muslims in areas that are hostile to the Gospel.

With help from the Voice of the Martyrs Canada and Scotland, Abdu oversees a tentmakers’ project for six other former Muslims who are sharing their faith.

“Our way of bringing people to Christ is not only telling them the Bible, but we show them big love and share our things with them and also show them the good life we have in Christ,” Abdu said.

That approach has been very effective, with thousands of former Muslims responding to the Gospel.

As for Suleman, while he and his family are persecuted for the faith, he said he’s not about to return to Islam and he looks forward to eternity with the Lord.

“The fundamentalists can do the worst they can to us,” Suleman said. “The last option for them is to kill us. We don’t mind if they kill us because some believers will bury us.”

“For us, it is better with Christ than to live in the community without Christ,” he said. “We don’t feel fear. These days for us are not a threat.”

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!

May the grace the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen!

“Good” People by Greg Laurie

Not long ago I was a guest on a morning television show. We were having a nice chat when, near the end of the program, the host dropped a bombshell. He said, “Greg, I have a question for you. You believe that most of the world is non-Christian and that because of that, they are going to burn in hell for all eternity. What kind of loving God would ever create such a scenario? Is that like a petty boss that some people have created, not understanding God?”

I had about two minutes to respond to that question. But after the show ended and the cameras stopped rolling, our conversation continued. He went on to ask me about good people and how a God of love could allow good people to face judgment.

I pointed out that we have to define what “good” is. It seems as though we have a sliding scale of good. Everyone seems to believe they are good. They are always the moral center of their universe. They immediately give themselves a free pass, but other people aren’t as good as they are. The problem is that we have conflicting views regarding what is good.

So how do we determine what good is? We all have the answer, and it is found in the Bible. God says, “There is none righteous, no, not one” (Romans 3:10).

This doesn’t mean there aren’t good people in a broad sense; it means there is no one good enough to get to heaven on their own merit. That is where the judgment of God comes in if we reject His offer of forgiveness.

It is not about being the nicest person or the kindest person. It is about being a forgiven person. That is who will be in heaven: forgiven people.

 

 

 

 

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!

May the grace the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen!

THE SECRET OF FRUITFULNESS.

JOHN 15 V 5 I am the Vine ye are the branches, ye that abide in Me, the same bring much fruit, for without Me, you can do nothing.

Jesus Christ says I am the Vine, every christian is a branch of that Vine and then he tells us the secret of fruitfulness, he said if you abide in me and I abide in you, then you bring forth much fruit, so simple! Abide in me, let my word abide in you, then you don?t have to worry about fruitfulness, you will be fruitful. Now when we talk about abiding, if am going to abide in a house, the first thing I need to do is to locate the house.

If I am going to abide some where I need to locate that somewhere, that means first I must seek that place, if I am going to abide in the Lord, I must first seek the Lord, psalm 34 v 10 says the young lion do lack and suffer hunger, but they that seek the Lord, shall never lack any good thing.

Hebrew 11 v 6 God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.  If I am going to abide in the Lord, I must seek the Lord. If I seek the Lord, I will not lack any good thing.

Children are good; success is good, promotion is good, promotion is good, good health is good, If I seek the Lord I won’t lack any good thing.

I decree into the life of somebody here tonight, as you begin to seek the Lord, you will never again lack any good thing.

After I begin to seek, the next thing if am going to abide in a house, I seek the house and then  I must find the house, in Matthew 7 v 7-8 we have an assurance from the Lord that if we seek we will find, if you seek , you will find.

However, the Bible add  certain conditions to our seeking and finding Isaiah 55 v 6 it says seek the Lord while he may be found, call on him when he is near. Seek him when he may be found; that means there is a time when you can seek him and find him, and the bible tells us when we can seek him and find him, Proverbs 8 v 17 the Almighty God says I love them that love me and they that seek me early shall find me. If you put seeking God first you will find him.

Some people seek God when it is already late, but you must seek him first; first thing in the morning seek the Lord, before you go to work seek the Lord, before you get married seek the Lord. He says seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and every other things will be added. Don’t be like those who said let me prosper first, then I will seek the Lord. Seek him first and then you will find him.

Now if I am going to abide, I will seek and then I will find, and after I have found the house the next thing is I must knock at the door, the bible says if you want to gain admission into a place; you seek you find and then you knock, in Matthew 7 v 7 that I quoted earlier, he said if you knock it will be open unto you. Revelation 3 v 7-8 tells you who is the one who will open that door unto you, he is the Lord himself, he said I have the keys of David, he said when I open no man can shut.

I am praying for somebody here today, the Lord will open the door for you.

Genesis 30 v 22 ? 24 the Bible say God remembered Rachael and opened her womb, all of you who are trusting God for the fruit of the womb, the Almighty God will remember you tonight. And he will open your womb.

So I want to abide in a house, I seek for it and I find it, and I knock the door and the door is open. And the next thing is I want to check is it suitable for me or not and Psalm 34 v 8 says taste and see that the Lord is good. There are some of us who have already tasted the Lord and we know that the Lord is good.

There might be some of us who are yet to taste him, taste him tonight and you will discover that the Lord is good.

Thank you Father, the Lord said there is somebody here who will understand, he said just tell the fellow, she came in through the back door; she will go back through the back door.

James 4 v 6 says draw near to God and he will draw near to you, taste the Lord and you will discover he is a good God. So I seek, I find, I knock the door is opened, I checked it out and I found that is good, then I dwell.  Because to abide means to settle down, In Psalm 91 v 1 he said he that dwelt n the secret of the most High, shall abide under the shadow of the most high, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty, so there is a link between dwelling and abiding.

And if I am going to abide in with the Lord, it means I will begin to enjoy divine companionship, if am abiding with him, it follows immediately that he will be with me in all that I do; he will be with me in my business, he will be with me in my marriage, he will be with me in my education, he will be with me. And when you read Exodus 3 v 11-12 when God gave a great assignment to Moses and Moses said how can I achieve this great feat? The Almighty God assures him; I will be with you.

I am praying for every one of you tonight, from this moment forward, everywhere you go, in everything you do, God will be with you.

Occasionally, you have discovered where God wants you to be and all of a sudden, somebody decide to block your way.  You know this is your position, this is where God wants me to be, he want me on top not below, he said I will be head not tail. But then somebody may suddenly stand up and say that may be true but I am not allowing you to get there. That is what happened when Goliath stood up and said David you will never become king, I know you are already anointed before your brothers, but before you become king, I will take the kingdom away from you.

But God gave victory to David, based on one principle only 1Samuel 17 v 34-37 David said to King Saul, don?t worry I will take care of this obstacle, King Saul said you can do it because you are a small boy, David said I know I am small but I had victories before and there is a God who gave me victories before, he will give me victory again. King Saul answered and said go and the Lord be with you.

I decree for someone here today, from this hour onward the Lord will be with you and every obstacle to your fruitfulness, just like Goliath was destroyed, the obstacle to your fruitfulness shall be destroyed also.

Now dwelling with the Lord, abiding with the Lord assures you of several things; number one it assures you of divine goodness Psalm 23 v 6  David said surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell, and because I will dwell , I am assured of Goodness, all the days of my life.

I want to prophecy, to someone here today beginning from this moment; in the morning, there will be goodness, in the afternoon there will be goodness for you, in the evening there will be goodness for you, in the night time, there will be goodness for you.

But not just goodness and mercy.

And mercy is so crucial to your fruitfulness, mercy get you something you  don’t even deserve, if God just looks at you and decide to be merciful, then you know your problems are over. And he said in Romans 9 v 15 -16 he said I will be merciful unto whom I will be merciful, and I will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.

He said it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, it is of GOD who shows mercy.

The people you see who are succeeding more than you, they are not wiser, they are not stronger, they are not even holier. It simply because they are enjoying the mercy of God.

And I pray for someone here today, from this moment onward, the mercy of God will pursue you everywhere you go.

When you abide in him, you enjoy goodness, you enjoy mercy, you enjoy divine partnership. He said if you abide in me and I abide in you, that mean if we are partners, then you will definitely be fruitful, Romans 8 v 31 says if God be for us, who can be against us.

Based on that authority alone, any force that says you will not succeed,  God will deal with that force, because he made a promise in Isaiah 41 v 10 -13?

Daddy says the river will begin to flow again.

In Isaiah 31 v 10 -13 he said don?t be afraid, he said I will help you, he said I will hold you be your right hand and say to you, I will help you and because he says I will help you, all those who are incensed against you, shall be as nothing, he says you will seek them you will not find them. Everyone blocking your way to fruitfulness before the sun rises, you will seek them and you will not find them

Once he becomes your partner, you can’t fail anymore Luke5 v1 -7 it is the story of Peter, fishing all night and catching nothing. You could say he has finish in his career, you could say he has finished financially but the story is more than that, he fished all night; husband and wife fished all night, nothing came out of it. Some couple now has been fishing all night for more than ten years and they have nothing to show for it. But the moment Jesus stepped into his boat, the tide turned.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ the next attempt you are going to make will produce results in Jesus name.

Thank you father, the Lord says I should tell someone, he said the door is open now

The Lord says there is someone here tonight, he said different s specialist have agreed that there is no hope for you; he said I will be your hope.

To fully appreciate the value of abiding, I want you to consider what a single contact with God can do, If we understand what a single visit, a single contact can do, then we can understand what benefit can we get if we are not just contacting but we are abiding.

I remember in 1981/82, some of my church members began to complain; when strangers come to see you, you give them attention. We who are your members we don’t even get time anymore. And God gave me a word of wisdom and I said unto them, they have come to take a bucket of water; you are living by the river side, why should you complain?

There is somebody here tonight, from this moment onward you will live by the river side.

If you read the story in Act 3 v 1 ? 11, it tells us the story of a man who was born lame, for forty years he had been lame, sitting just outside the temple. One day he had single contact with God, and several things happened as a result of this single encounter with God.

So what can a single contact do?
Number one it can bring healing Mark 5 v 24 -34 the woman with the issue of blood, definitely was barren, the blood was flowing all the time and there was no room for her to be pregnant and she had a single contact with Jesus Christ and the problem was over.

Because you came tonight, even if this is your first time, in Jesus Mighty name, your problems are over.

The lame man was healed, as a result of single contact, not only that, his handicap ended. You know there are some people who are barren because of a particular handicap- they say the tube is block, I know of someone whom they say have no tubes at all. One handicap or the other but a single contact can put an end to that handicap.

Thank you daddy, the Lord asked me to tell someone here tonight he said the seed will germinate this time.

In Mark 10 v 46-52 Bartilomeus was blind, a blind man is a handicap mind, and when we are talking of handicap of that has to do with blindness, it is a very serious one. We are not talking of physical blindness now, there are many of us who could be far, far better than we are if only God can open our eyes to opportunities, many of us are surrounded by opportunities, only we can’t see them.

I mean in 2 king 4 v 1 -7 that widow of the sons of the prophet, was dying under the heavy burden of debt and she was surrounded by opportunities; there was a little bottle of oil in her home, she didn’t see how that could help. There were several neighbors with empty bottles; she doesn’t know how that could solve her problems. But a single contact with the Almighty God; her eyes were opened, her debt was paid and she has enough to spend for the rest of her life.

I have told you that when we talk of bareness, we are not talking of the fruit of the womb alone, we are talking about bareness, failure, fruitless effort, even in business, even in ministry, some have been laboring over the years and there is nothing to show for it. Even in academics, the solution is there, is just a question of seeing it.

In that name that is above every other name, every doors of opportunity that have been hidden from you, you will locate them from tonight in Jesus name.

One contact with the Almighty God, Batilomeus eyes were opened, the lame man began to walk, every forms of handicap ends because of a single contact, and not only was this lame man healed, he began to walk, he began to make progress.

There are many of us all we need to make progress, is a single contact with God. in 1 King 18 v 46 the Bible says Good laid his hand on Elijah and he outran Ahab with his chariot of horses.

When God laid his hands on you, you will make rapid progress, enemies can’t catch up with you, and contenders can’t catch up with you.

I pray from today henceforth, the hand of God will be on your business, the hand of God will be on your marriage, the hand of God will be on your education, the hand of God will be on your ministry and you will begin to make rapid progress. The lay man was not only walking he was leaping, he wasn’t jumping forward, he was making progress.

A single contact with almighty God can lead to rapid promotion in 1 Samuel 16 v 11 -13 it was a single contact with God that change a shepherd boy to a king, in 1 Samuel 2 v 21 Hannah that they thought was going to die barren had a single contact with God, not only did she gave birth to Samuel, the Bible says she had three more boys and two more girls, the one that they thought she was going to end up barren, ended up with six children.

I am believing God for those who are believing God for the fruit of the womb, by August next year, you will come forward with a set of twins, and if you can handle triplet get ready for triplet.

A single contact with God turned that lame man to a wonder. When people saw him walking, leaping praising God, the Bible says they were amazed. In Genesis 21 v 6 Sarah said who would have taught that Sarah will give birth to a son, she said who would have taught God could put laughter into my mouth. She said people will hear and they will laugh with me.

All of those who have already written you off, God will surprise them, those who have been laughing at you; very soon they will be laughing with you in the mighty name of Jesus name.

The lame man was not just walking and leaping, he was not just only making progress, he was not only going forward and upward, the Bible says he was praising God, a single contact with God can put a song into your mouth.

The Lord said there is somebody here; he said the problem with your nose is already receiving attention.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight, he said I will breathe on you and yours and I will bring about a revival.

I think this one must be for a business man, The Lord asks me to tell you, your customers will return.

The Lord asks me to tell someone, you can now proceed with that project.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight; he said the stranger in your reproductive system will disappear tonight.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight; he said I will reshape your future.

John 9 v 24 -29 we are talking of God putting a new song into your mouth as a result of a single contact with him, tells us the  story of a man  who was born blind and after Jesus opened his eyes, some people began to argue if Jesus was a sinner.  That man said whether he is a sinner, I don’t know, but all I know whereas I was blind but now I see.

In the name that is above every other names; somebody is going to sing a new song here tonight.

Somebody is going to say whether pastor Adeboye is a man of God or not I don’t know, but I went to September Holy ghost service and whereas I was a failure now i am successful, whereas I was blind, now I see, whereas I was barren,  look at me now, one boy on the right another boy on the left and somebody is helping me to bring the girl,

who is that one, let me hear you shout halleluiah!

Now if a single contact can do that much, you can then imagine what abiding will do, you see when you chose to abide with Jesus Christ, when you choose to abide with the almighty, everything becomes new. In 2 King 4 v 8 – 17 there was the story f the Shullamite woman who offered Elisha food, Elisha was reluctant, but after he tasted and saw how the god was, he chose to abide and because he was abiding in that house, that woman who thought she can never  give birth became the mother of a son.

I decree in the name that is above every other name that thing which you want from God which money cannot buy, you will receive it tonight in Jesus name.

When you abide; there is a new beginning, in 1 king 17 v 8 -17, it is the story of the widow of Zarephath.

The Lord said there is someone here today; he said you are suffering because of someone who put a curse on you, because you disappointed the fellow, the Lord asked me to tell you, because you came, my blood will take care of the curse.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight; he said those who rejected you will soon welcome you back.

In the story of the widow of Zarephath, because Elijah was abiding in her house, the last meal became the first, poverty changed to prosperity and death cannot even stay in the house anymore. When you abide with the Almighty God, everything we call death, failure, insufficiency will disappear.

What exactly do we mean when we say abide, abide means stay put, stop running around. Stay with Jesus! Psalm 92 v 12 – 14 says it is they that be planted in the house of the Lord, are the one who will flourish, not those who are visiting, they that be planted, they that abide.

They that are settled, he said even in old age, they will still be fruitful. Abide, stay put, stop running around. Put your trust in God not in Man Jeremiah 17 v 5 -8 he said if you put your trust in a man you will bring a curse on yourself, but if you put your trust in God, you will be like a tree that is planted beside rivers of water. Abide, stay put!

There is no other bus-stop other than Jesus, any problem that Jesus cannot solve nobody else can solve it, nobody!  Stay put, it is in staying put, it is then that his word can begin to abide in you. If the word of God is to abide in you, you have to study the word of God first, 2 Timothy 2 v 15 says study to show yourself approve unto God.

Before I was born again, i have shared some of my story with you before.  I was a lecturer at the University of Lagos, I already had a car, I had a driver but I am the one who will pay the driver but by the middle of the month I will be borrowing money from my driver to buy fuel.

Then I became born again, then I discovered; you can be a lecturer and still be ignorant, when I come to the Sunday school in the morning and they ask a question, I see market woman and they get up and they begin to say, as it is written in Galatians, as it is written in Thessalonians ? and I will be looking at them, I didn’t even know there is anything called Galatians in the bible.

I knew there was Genesis, I knew somewhere in the middle you will get Psalms because in those days we used to read Psalm into water and drink, God have mercy! Here was  a lecturer. You need to abide in other to study the word of God and then you need to memorize these words.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight, he said I am wiser than you, he said what is best for you is what I will do.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight, he said you have had to break some bad news recently, he said but very soon, you will break some mighty good news.

The Lord said there is someone her tonight, he said one day, when you stand by this altar to give your testimony, you will start by saying it is a long story with a very happy ending.

Psalm 119 v 8-11 he said your word has I kept in my heart that I might not sin against thee. You need to memorize the word of God. You study it, you memories on it. It is those who abide, who can meditate on the word of God. Psalm 1 v 2 -3 tells us the qualification of those who are blessed, those who will be fruitful in every area of life and whatsoever they touch shall prosper.

You will meditate on the word of God, day and night. You will study the word, you will memorize it, you meditate on it and then you begin to quote it. In Joshua 1 v 8 Almighty God said Joshua, this book of the law shall not depart from your mouth , he said if you keep on quoting it you will began to have good success.

Study it, memorize it, quote it and then you do it, James 1 v 22 he said you must not just be a hearer only, you must be doer also. It is one thing to study the word, it is another thing to memorize it and to meditate and to quote, but if you want to be fruitful in every spheres of your life, you must do it! You want to prosper, You must sow. you want to be promoted, you must draw near to God, he is the one who can promote, promotion comes only  from God, you want to be fruitful, you must abide in him and he abide in you.

Let me conclude so that we can have time to pray, our God is faithful, am sure everybody knows that.

The Lord said there is somebody here tonight, he said you have been very good to your parent, I will make sure your parent will be god to you also.

Number 23 v 9 says God is not a man that should lie neither a son of man that he should repent, has he said anything, has he not done it. The Almighty God said the door is opened, it is opened; he said the seed will germinate, it will germinate.  Whether the devil likes it or not, it is already done.   God is faithful!

Lamentation 23 v3 says it is of the mercies of the Lord that we are not destroyed, he said it is new every morning, says great is his faithfulness. Our God is faithful, when he speaks it is already done, but he is a Holy God! That Holy God says you cannot continue in sin and expect grace to abound, he said God forbid, you cannot continue in sin and expect that the Almighty God will give you a breakthrough that is not going to happen.

You cannot be idly away in your place of work and expect God to promote you; God is not going to do it. You cannot be stealing and expect that your prosperity will endure; it is not going to happen. The elders have a saying that the house you build with spittle, it is dew that will pull it down. That is true. Our God is a holy God.

I have told you the story before several times, am saying it because those of you who are new, a woman came barren, heard that pastor Adeboye has  special anointing for making people to be fruitful, if he prays for you, you will become fruitful, they told her, in those days we were very few, so I could lay hands on everybody, if he lays hands on you, you may fall. so she came, we were in the first auditorium then, it was time to pray for the barren, we prayed for her, she fell under the anointing, year later she came back very angry, they told me  if you pray for me , I will fall, I fell, I am yet to get pregnant what is happening?

I was going to pray for her again, when the Lord asked me to ask her; “ how many boy friends have she apart from her husband?”  If I didn’t know the voice of God I wouldn’t be able to ask her, because this woman was a great woman in the society.  God says ask her, and I stammered in asking Iam sorry, but God said I should ask you, it is God who said so, how many boyfriends have you? She said six.  Six! And you want my father in heaven to give you a child?  How are we going to know the father anyway?

What some of you are looking for is magic.  My God is not a magician.  He is a miracle worker.  He is a holy God; my God will insist on holiness, if he is going to prosper you, you must be holy. If you are going to succeed through him, you must be holy. If you are going to be fruitful through him, you must be holy.

So please make up your mind tonight, because I don’t want you to come in vain  and I don’t want you to come in vain. I want you to know before the end of this month knows that God has done something good for you.

To those of you who are yet to give your Life to Jesus, come to him now, come and surrender your life to him, let him save your souls, let his blood wash away your sins, let him give you a brand new beginning, the Blood of Jesus cleanses from all sins, it doesn’t matter how many sins you have committed in the past, if you come to him in genuine repentance he will forgive you and save your soul. Come now.

And as you come, talk to the almighty God, tell him to be merciful unto you, ask him to wash you in his blood. ..

in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

My Father and my God I want to bless your holy name, I want to bless you for your word, I want to thank you for these people who have come forward, everyone of them receive in Jesus name, forgive in Jesus name, let your blood wipe away their sins in Jesus name, save their souls tonight in Jesus name. Please write their name in the book of life in Jesus name, everything standing between them and their miracles put it under your blood in Jesus name and from tonight let them serve you, uphold them till the end and in your kingdom, don?t let them be found wanting. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Thank you Father, thank you Almighty God… in Jesus mighty name we worship.

I want you to lift your voice to God,  and say Father, please let tonight mark a major turning point in my life.  Let’s talk to the Almighty God… in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

You are the mighty God, the great I am, Halleluiah! 2ce

You are the mighty God, the great I am, Halleluiah! 2ce

Tonight in your own wonderful way, visit your children, like never before, visit all your children. Meet all needs tonight, let our joy overflow tonight, at the end of everything, let your name be glorified.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Let somebody shout halleluiah!

Isaiah 40 v 28- 31 “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youth shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”

There are seven categories of motion; there are seven ways of making progress.

Number one is total stagnation, no motion at all, in Mark 2 v 1 – 12 we have the story of a man who was paralytic; he is paralyzed from his neck down, he couldn’t move, he couldn’t do anything for himself unless he was helped.  Somebody like that is in what we call total stagnation state.

Next to that is crawling; in John 9 v 1-7 the Bible tells us the story of a man who was born blind, Jesus saw him, spat on the ground, made some mud out of it and anointed where his eyes were suppose to be and told him to go to the pool Siloam and wash.  He washed and came back seeing.  When a blind man has to go somewhere, he cannot move fast.  This blind man one way or the other managed to find his way to the pool.  Crawling means there is motion but very slow and very limited.

The third stage is walking and walking means you are moving now, your progress is not really hindered, it is just that you are better than the one crawling, but you are not doing too well either.  When we where little child, when we want to begin to make motion; we start by crawling, and then later on we come on to walking.

Majority of people are in this level of motion. They move but very, very slowly.  They go from month to months just managing to exist.  For those of you who are listening to me tonight who are in that category things are about to change for the best.

The next stage is leaping; when you leap, it means a short outburst of energy, you go up but then you come down.  It is like that of a business man who gets a contract maybe once in three years.  In Act 3 v 1 -8 the Bible tells us of the lame man who was healed, he started by walking and the he moved on to leaping.  Leaping even though it’s just a short upward motion and then coming down, it is still far  better than ordinary walking.  I know at least somebody here today who will go home leaping for joy.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight; He said the cloud that is covering your vision is being removed.

Thank you Father, the Lord said there is a man here today He said your potency is being restored.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight; He said you are afraid that you may lose your miracle, He asked me to tell you this one will be permanent.

Stage number five in motion is running, now running means you are making steady speedy progress. In Genesis 26 v 12 -14 the Bible tells us the story of Isaac, who sowed in the land of Gerar and that year he reaped a hundred fold return.

The Lord blessed him and the Bible say and the man waxed great and grew and moved forward until he became very great. That is an example of running, steady progress, speedy progress, continuous progress,

and I am prophesying to someone here today; beginning from now, your business will begin to run, your ministry will begin to run. In every sphere of your life, there will be steady progress.

And then next to running is flying, when we talk about flying we are talking about total unhindered motion. The journey from here to Abuja by road, if you are to run, for a very strong man, would take you at least two days but when you fly, it takes less than one hour.

Those of you who are already running before tomorrow morning you will be flying.

We have several examples here but maybe one or two will do.

The Almighty God said there is somebody here today; He said I will put your enemy to sleep until you escape.

The Lord asked me to tell someone, He said before the end of this month the storm will be over.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said some powerful people are about to take some decision concerning you, He asked me to tell you not to worry that He is the God of all flesh.

Daddy says there are some people here you need spare parts; some needs new eyes, some need new brains, some needs new wombs. The Lord ask me to tell you just lift up your hands and receive your own now, just say Lord I thank you, thank you for my new spare parts, go ahead and tell him, because very soon you are going to testify. New hands, new eyes, new legs, new lungs, new liver, new spare parts, new kidneys.

Let me hear somebody shout halleluiah!

So in 1 Samuel 16 v 11- 13 we see the story of David he woke up a shepherd boy before the evening he was a king.  Now that is flying, that is speedy progress, far, far beyond ordinary running.

Tell your neighbor, from now on I will fly.

Again there is a stage seven, you see when the bird flies, it spent its own energy to fly. Stage seven is to be carried in a plane and then fly. In that case you make no effort you just sat down and you keep flying. Those who have travelled by the plane will tell you, no sweating, you seat down, you are eating, you are drinking, and before you know it you have arrived.

There is somebody here today that the Almighty God will carry on His eagle’s wing and without any efforts on your side, He will take you to your goals.

He has done it before in Exodus 19 v 3 -4 when they brought the children of Israel out of bondage, He carries them on eagle wings, all their effort could not have freed them from Pharaoh but God intervened and because God intervened, they were able to not just to leave bondage; God placed them where the enemy could no longer touch them.

In the name that is above every other name, that level where the enemy will no longer be able to touch you, God will take you there tonight. That level where you will no longer need to beg for anything, the Almighty God will take you there.

Daddy says there is someone here tonight; He said you will not need medical attention for a long, long time.

Now when the bird is flying, if he is carrying his food or anything with it, he has to carry that along, but when you are flying in a plane, the plane that is carrying you is also carrying your load.

And when you read Isaiah 53 v 4 – 5 it tells you that the Almighty God is not only able to carry you, He is able to carry your burdens too.

I can assure somebody here tonight, because you came; all your burdens shall be carried by the Almighty God.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight; He said I have a surprise package for you that will dazzle you.  A surprise package so big, that long after you get it, you will still think you a dreaming.

Now very briefly, we need to understand that a bird fly with two wings; when a bird has only one wing it cannot fly.   You need the two wings of the eagle and this is where I want to spend a few minute so that we will understand fully what the Almighty God wants to do for us.

When you read 1Corinthians 1 v 22- 24 it tells you about the two wings that you need if you want to enjoy this wonderful flight.  He said the Jews require a sign, the Greeks seek after wisdom. The Jews they want miracle signs and wonders, the Greeks; wisdom.  But then he said you need both, and both are to be found in Jesus.  He said Jesus is the wisdom of God and the power of God. The power gives the miracles; the wisdom gives the other wing.

We are very used to signs and wonders.  in The Redeemed Christian church of God we see it every day, we’ve heard testimonies tonight, we have heard of the sister who was paralyzed, who said to the husband just get me a picture of daddy, got the picture and became whole immediately.

Daddy has nothing to do with that, I didn’t know what was happening, that is a sign that is a miracle.

We have heard of someone who took a handkerchief that we bless to her son that the doctor said there is nothing more we can do for this kidney fellow and he got a brand new kidney; that is a sign.

You heard about the man whose wife’s kidney fail, liver fail, wife was in a comma. He took an handkerchief to her, she walk out of the hospital with brand new kidney and brand new liver – that is a sign.

Every miracle you need, every sign from God, you will get it tonight in the mighty name of Jesus.

The area where many of us are deficient is the area of wisdom, we want benefits without responsibilities.  Your bird cannot fly with one wing, Isaiah 1 v 19 says if you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land.  The good of the land is available; it’s your own benefits.  Your responsibility is you must be willing and obedient.

When we go through the scriptures, we see responsibility and benefit balancing out, some of us want the power of God, Act 1 v 8 says you will receive power provided you are willing to evangelize.  You will receive power and be my witness.  Some of us want anointing, we want to be able to just wave our hands and the blind will begin to see, we hear testimony that shake us and we say we want that anointing too.

We just had an Holy Ghost night in Dublin before we came for the convention and one of the testimonies that got everybody jumping and climbing was that of a woman, she has been barren for a very long time and have heard the testimony of people who said they were barren and they sat on the chair we sat on and then they became pregnant.  So one day, when we finished the program, everybody was rushing to go and seat on the chair and then one man took the chair away, the woman was sad.  But then she had a brain wave and said the pulpit is there, he was at the pulpit, so she went to the pulpit and begin to rub her stomach against the pulpit, that month she became pregnant and when she was testifying she showed us three children two boys and a girl.  As we were rejoicing, I looked at the eyes of one of the pastors who was deep in prayer, and I could read what was going on in his mind;  “God give me that kind of anointing!”

How many of you want that kind of anointing?  May you receive it tonight in Jesus name,

But it is conditional Hebrew 1 v 9, He said because you love righteousness and you hate iniquity that is why God your God has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

You want an anointing, you must balance it with holiness, anointing without holiness is like a machine gun in the hand of a mad man, Samson has anointing but he lack holiness, and it destroyed him.

The blessing that will destroy you, you will never get it in Jesus name.

Some people wants victory but they don’t want to pay the price.  Victory is available, the Almighty God wants you to be victorious but if you read James 4 v 7 the Bible said it clearly if you want victory over Satan, you must first of all submit to God.

Submission must go hand in hand with victory, submit yourself first to God, then resist the devil and he will flee from you, many of us don’t want to submit to authority and yet we want to and expect Him to heal – it is not going to happen,  because a bird doesn’t fly with one wing.  Submission must come hand in hand with victory.  Many of us wants breakthroughs but we know Malachi 3 v 10 He said you want a breakthrough?  He said bring all the tithes to my house, we don’t want to tithe but we want God to open the windows of heaven, and bring in just one breakthrough – it is not going to happen, because a bird does not fly with one wing.

You meet the conditions of God; He will meet the other side.  Promotion must work hand in hand with diligence.

The Lord said there is someone where tonight, he said I will replace your entire digestive system.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said what people are saying about you now is that the sun of your family is set.  God asked me to tell you as the sun is rising tomorrow morning, the sun of your family will rise again.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said you will understand when I tell you, He said the flow stopped because you drifted away from Him, He asked me to tell you, because you have decided to come back to Him, the flow will begin again.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said I assure you; from now on you will enjoy my peace.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said at long last, the spring that is in you will begin to produce a big river.

Promotion will go ahead with diligence Proverb 22 v 29 seeth thou a man diligent in his business, he will stand before kings and not before mean men.  Many of us wants to prosper, we want to become great but we don’t want to work, it is not going to happen.

God is not a magician, He is a miracle worker, He is a rewarder of those who are diligent. Hebrew 11 v 6 God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.  You want to make first class but you don’t want to study, it is not going to happen.  You must learn to work hard.

You are the one delaying the blessings God has for you, because you are too lazy, God almighty want you to wake up, if you wake up now and decide that from now on you will begin to work hard, by the time we come again next year, you will know that the God we serve is the Almighty.

He opened a door for you and he expect you to finish that assignment for one month, you are still on it for one year, how is he going to give you another one.  And yet there are doors that the Almighty God wants to open.

I gave someone an assignment; get me a little fish pound and they’ve been on it for months. I went to them one day and say I know you will finish within one year, they replied no sir, we will finish within nine month, the work of two weeks!

How many of you want to reach the top? How many of us will stop being lazy, Jesus Christ said, my father work hitherto and I work, the Almighty God is still working till now, so what excuse are you going to give for not working?

Anyone who is going to because an excellent person, someone who will excel, according to 1Corthinas 9v 24-27 anyone who is going to excel must be self disciplined.  You must keep your body under.  If you are going to excel, you must be self disciplined, don’t let us deceive ourselves; greatness is available, there is plenty of room at the top, the problem is, are you willing to do the work that will qualify you for the top?

Some of you will say Daddy, what is happening tonight.

I will tell you what is happening tonight is going to mark a new beginning for somebody.

God has given me a little glimpse to the future, He is about to raise up some great people and I want you too to be one of them.  How many of you want to be great?  Are you really ready to be great?  Nobody else will tell you the truth if I don’t tell you, I don’t want to be popular, so if you don’t like me anymore it doesn’t matter but you must reach the top.

Anyone who wants to be pre-eminent, anyone who wants to mount with wings like eagle cannot be lazy, Isaiah 40 v 31 says it is they that wait upon the Lord that will renewed their strength, they are the one who will mount with wings as eagles.

I told you the highest level of motion is to be carried, the one who will carry you on the flight is Jesus Christ, he said in John 15 v 5, He said without me you can do nothing.  If I don’t carry you, you won’t get there.

In Philippians 4 v 13 He said I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, the aircraft that will carry you is Christ.  He will be the one who will do the work, but He expects you to do only one thing: wait on him.

We don’t want to pray and we want miracles, we want signs and wonders, it’s not going to happen, you pray for five minutes and you say that is enough, God is not your house boy, He is the King of kings, He is the Lord of lords, you must learn to wait on Him.

I remembered one occasion; the president said he wanted to see me, not the present one.  He gave me an appointment for 11am, I arrived at 10am, he didn’t see me until 1pm… suppose am the one who needed to see Him… and he saw me at 1pm because I threatened to leave, I got up and told the secretary, tell Mr. President, I have been here for three hours, there are sick people waiting for me, I am going.  Now I could only say that because I wasn’t the one who needed help, he was the one who need my help at that time.  If I was the one who need his help even if he saw me by 9pm I will wait.

How many of you know that the almighty God is greater than any president, one miracle from Him that is all, but you don’t want to wait on Him, you pray for two minutes and you think that is enough.

I have told you the story before, we had a convention, I have finished everything, very tired, I told my wife, I don’t want to be disturbed, I want to rest.  I was so tired, I got to the bed and I was almost fast asleep immediately.  Soon as I left for my room, a woman came from the north, asked my children, is papa in?  And since they can’t lie they said yes, but he said he is not seeing anybody.  The woman said is he in?  he said fine, I will seat down here until he comes out.  They said to her he is not coming out today, the woman said who said today?  I said is he in?  she said that’s all. They told my wife, they gave her food, thinking after that she will go, she sat down there, finally my wife came and said I know you are tired, but you better add this to your tiredness, because this woman said she is not going anywhere, I had to come out  in my pajamas to come and attend  to her.

God is not on a journey, but how many of you are ready to tell God, am not going anywhere until you solve my problem.  Because time is gone we will not do what we have been doing since Monday, we are not going to ask you to pray for one hour, but at least twenty minutes, you are going to stand on your feet, if you like you can sleep, nobody is going to stop you, if you want you can kneel, but for the next twenty minutes,

You are going to lift your voice to the Almighty God, and say father, I am going to stay with you until my joy is full, … and then begin to tell him all the things you want God to do for you. I am giving you just twenty minute… ask everything you can continue your prayer…

in Jesus mighty name we have prayed,

God will answer you tonight, He will open the windows of heaven to you tonight, that which you have been asking for all these years; you will receive it tonight in Jesus name.

And your testimony shall be great. So shall it be, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

In the mighty name of Jesus, I fly over every mountain, every mountain of sorrow, over mountain of failure, over every mountain of fruitless effort, over every mountain blocking my way…

and so shall it be in the name of Jesus,

Will you please lay the handkerchief on your own head, and remember The Just shall live by faith.

Tonight and whatever you say tonight, it is established forever.  Talk now to the Almighty God.

Let Somebody Shout Alleluia

 For how long would you be a slave?

Who is a slave?

A slave is someone who is not the owner of himself.

He is someone who cannot decide for himself.

One who cannot control his spirit.

One who is dominated by someone else.

He is someone who has sickness and diseases.

Someone who has negative dreams all the time.

He is someone who is confused about life.

He is someone who does not have access to what he wants.

A slave is also one who is still afflicted by the enemy; he is one who cannot reason on his own.

A slave is someone who does not have his own personal wealth. He is one who does not have the ability to make changes.

A slave is one who does not have Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour. A slave is one who is still afraid.

A slave is someone who still has worries and anxieties. A slave is someone who still depends on man instead of God Almighty!

A slave is one who is not reigning in life. If you are living in a dirty environment, physically and spiritually you are a slave.

Those who are still living unfulfilled lives are slaves.

Why not change the way you think, why not change the way you see yourself? It is high time you changed!

Do you find yourself in one of these conditions?

Freedom!

You must give your life to Lord Jesus Christ!

Accept Him as your personal Lord and Saviour

Repent of your sin and have God’s original thought for your life and

Believe in God Almighty alone.

Discover the grace of God through Christ Jesus by reading and meditating on The Holy Scripture – The Holy Bible.

Pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ, and

Attend a Bible believing church!

Learn To Conquer Your Handicaps! Philippians 4:13 I Can Do All Things Through Christ Which Strengthens Me

Learn To Conquer Your Handicaps! Philippians 4:13 I Can Do All Things Through Christ Which Strengthens Me

 

 

Oftentimes in life, people allow themselves to be held back by those things they consider as limitations in their lives. It reminds me of the story of Moses in the Bible. Right after the LORD told him to go to Egypt and deliver the children of Israel, he said, “O My LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue” (Exodus 4:10). In other word, Moses said to God, “I’m handicapped when it comes to speaking; please send someone else”

The LORD had to remind him that He made the talking tongue. Nonetheless, He presently recommended his brother Aaron to be his spokesman. In the process of time, Moses became, not only a great leader, but a great teacher too, speaking for himself!

Understand that as a Christian, the limit breaker lives in you! He’s taken every limitation off your life! You can be a great, successful, prosperous, and victorious as you choose to be, if you’d learn to conquer your handicaps! Conquer whatever that thing is that you would have given as the reason or excuse for your limitation of failure; go beyond it; gain the mastery over it in the Name of Our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ! Amen! He lives In You! You cannot fail!

Perhaps you’ve always dreamed of owning your own business, but you never had the opportunity to go to school properly and you’re thinking you’ll never achieve that dream. It’s time to conquer that handicap! Maybe you’ve dreamed of being a public speaker, but like Moses, you’re slow of speech. It’s time to conquer that handicap! Tell yourself, “I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me! I’ll be the best of me in the Name of Jesus! Amen!!

If you haven’t started already, then begin today with confidence in the Name of Our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ! To take definite steps towards the actualization of that dream, target and goal of success that you have!

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD 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!

Betrayal and Forgiveness!

English: David’s Joy Over Forgiveness; as in Psalm 32; illustration from a Bible card published by the Providence Lithograph Company (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Betrayal and Forgiveness!

Spend any amount of time and have any kind of interaction with people, and you’ll experience something we’re all too familiar with: betrayal.

Everyone deals with it. We’ve either been betrayed or we will be betrayed. And we know the feeling it leaves in our lives and on our souls—a bitter feeling of resentment, anger and hurt.

But is it possible to overcome the devastating effects of betrayal and experience phenomenal outcomes?

The answer is a resounding, “Yes!” And it all comes down to forgiveness.

But we all know that one of the most difficult things to do is forgive someone who has hurt us. We want that person to pay for what they did. But here’s the thing. Your responsibility and mine is not to make them pay. Our responsibility is to follow God’s lead when it comes to forgiveness. The Bible clearly tells us:

Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Luke 6:37

The relationship between forgiveness and betrayal might seem obvious. But the underlying power of these two can lead to a life that is so much more than you ever imagined!

Though betrayal can break us down, God intends to use it to break us through to a new level of living!

And through forgiveness, we can experience the power of freedom in every area of life!

 

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!

How do you know if you are being a good steward? The Authority of Godly Stewardship


English: 4 days of Evangelism Training in Sout...

English: 4 days of Evangelism Training in Southern California provided by LivingWaters Ministry. Obeying the great commission of Jesus Christ. “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to everyone” Mark 16:15 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

How do you know if you are being a good steward? The Authority of Godly Stewardship

How do you know if you are being a good steward? There is only one way to know—read God’s Word. Deuteronomy 8:3 says: “Man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.” We show our love for God by obeying Him, being a steward who manages things on His terms.

Human ownership must be governed by God. That’s why when God made Adam, the first thing He did was give him instruction: “The LORD God commanded the man, saying, ‘From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day you eat from it you will surely die” (Genesis 2:16-17). God gives instruction to protect us, and following His instruction provides His results.

When you first consider stewardship, you might think it has too many limitations. But let me assure you that the limitations of stewardship are always for the enjoyment of it. God doesn’t give us commands to stifle our stewardship, but rather to expand it. We shouldn’t think that God’s ways are negative—we can’t do this or that—because the negative exists to enhance the positive.

So many people think God’s commands restrict their freedom. But freedom in the biblical sense never means just doing what you want. Freedom in the Bible is the power to do what you ought to do. How do we get that kind of freedom? Jesus told us the truth sets us free, and the absolute standard of truth is God’s Word.

John 8:32

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Join your hands together, the Bible says one will chase a thousand, two will put ten thousand to flight.  Lift your voices to the Almighty God and say Father, I am in agreement with this your child, give him/her wonderful victory tonight…

in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Father, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of peace.

Jesus mighty name we have prayed amen.

Let someone shout halleluiah!

Shake hands with two or three people and tell them that you are expecting at least thirteen miracles from God this year

Daddy asked me to tell you that he meant it when He said he that this year will  be a year of laughter for you.

Wonderful

Isaiah 9 v 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, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of peace.

Wonderful as we know by now is a combination of two words, wonder and full.

So wonderful actually means full of wonders.

Now when you read Act 2 v 22 the Bible talks about how God approved Jesus of Nazareth as a result of miracles, wonders and signs that He performed among the people.

Now when you read the way it is written, miracle, wonders and signs, they are written in order of superiority, in other words wonders are superior to miracle.

So I am telling someone here tonight, that something more than miraculous is going to happen in your life in Jesus name.

Wonders are a higher category of miracles.

And when you talk about Jesus Christ you will found that everything about Him is wonderful.

His name is wonderful according to Philippians 2 v 9 -11 God has given Him a name that is above every other names. That at the mention of His name, every knee should bow of things in heaven, of things underneath the earth.

His name is the only one that is recognized in three realms; in heaven, on earth and underneath the earth.

Wonderful name!

His love is wonderful, John 15 v 13 He says greater love has no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.

His love is so wonderful.  You can’t get a greater love than the love of Jesus.

His peace is wonderful. He said peace I give unto you not as the world gives, give I unto you.

The Bible says in Philippians 4 v 7 He says His peace passes all understanding.

His power is wonderful.

In Matthew 28 v 18 He said all power in heaven and on earth has been given unto Me.

His power is wonderful.  And I can go on and on.

I can tell you His grace is wonderful, His joy is wonderful, His strength is wonderful and on and on.

But because I told you that miracles are of a lesser degree than wonders that wonders is a higher level of miracles. We want to take some quick look at some illustrative examples from the scriptures.

I will be as quick as possible because we really want to pray, because one of the things about the name of JESUS being wonderful is that it guarantees the answer to prayer.

And I’m sure by the grace of God, every prayer we pray here tonight will be answered wonderfully.

Now healing is a great act of God, when God heals, it is something that we thank God for.

For example in Matthew 8 v 14 -15 the Bible tells us that Jesus came into the house of Peter and found the mother in law sick of fever, He merely touched her head and instantly she was healed.

Now that is a miracle that is beautiful healing. But then somebody may say what is in fever, just take two three tablets and off goes the fever.

So while healing is great, curing the incurable is greater.  You know there are occasions where the doctors will tell you that “I’m sorry there is nothing more we can do”,

If they have told you that one, very soon when you stand before them again they are going to say wonderful.

In Mark 5 v 25- 34, the Bible tells us about the woman with the issue of blood.  The Bible said she went to many physicians, spent all her money and rather than getting better, she grew worst.

Because the physicians were dealing with situation they couldn’t handle. But when she came in contact with Jesus Christ, in an instant the incurable became cured.

In the name of Jesus Christ any incurable disease, that is here today, will perish today in the name of Jesus.

Someone was pointing an article to me in one of the news papers recently, when a “clever reporter” was making a joke of the miracles God has performed in my life.

He said “Daddy what is your comment?”

I said I have no comment.

Those who make fun of miracle always ending up needing one; one day when the doctors says there is nothing more we can do, suddenly they will remembered there is the God of miracles.

In the Name that is above every other name, from this moment on you will enjoy the miracles of God.

But while we are talking about healing, while healing is great, curing the incurable is greater.

When healing involves creative miracle, then we call it wonderful.

For example in 2Kings 5 v 1 – 14 the Bible tells us about Naaman, who had leprosy.

When at the instruction of the man of God, he dipped himself seven times in Jordan, he was not only cleansed of his leprosy, it wasn’t that he was just cured, the Bible said he came out of the river with a brand new skin, the skin like that of a new born baby.

In John 9 v 1- 7 the Bible tells us the story of a man who was born blind.

It wasn’t that he had bad eye sight; it wasn’t that after he was born, his eyes became bad, he was born without eyes.

But Jesus spit on the ground made some mud out of the clay anointed his eyes, told him to go and wash in the pool of Siloam and the Bible says he had a brand new eye.

He came back with two brand new eyes. When you have a healing that involve creative miracle, we call that one wonderful!

If there is any part of your body that is already damaged beyond repairs, my Father will recreate it tonight in Jesus name.

There was this young man who came to a crusade and at the crusade, something happened!

When he was small, he had only one testicle and the one testicle did not even descend.

So the parent took him to an herbalist who in an attempt to cause the one testicle to descend destroyed it.

So the boy ended up without a testicle at all and yet he went ahead and got married.

Of course you know the result of such a marriage; nothing!

Then he came to the crusade which we held in Row park Yaba in the early 80’s and as the word of God was going on, he noticed that something was happening in his body.

To cut the long story short before the program ended he already got two testicles.

Later on he came into my office, some month later with his wife, by that time his wife is now pregnant and he was sharing the testimony again and in his excitement he said daddy may I show you the testicles? I said there is no need I can see the evidence.

Every one of you needing a spare partner tonight, you will get one is Jesus name.

Now a financial breakthrough is great, in Luke 5 v 1 -7  Peter  fished all night caught nothing.

Jesus came into his boat, told him where to fish and he got enough to fill two boats.

That happened once then, the second time it happened was several years later.

So one financial breakthrough like that is good, to win a big contract is beautiful, but one massive breakthrough, I’m talking of the kind of breakthrough that will wipe out all your debt that is better.

For example in 2 kings 4 v1 -7 the Bible tells us of a widow who was so indebted that the creditors wanted to sell her sons to pay the debt, she cried to the man of God and the man of God told her what to do.

And the bottle of oil that she had in the house multiplied. So much that when she sold it, the man of God told her payoff your debt and live on the rest, you and your sons.

That is a bigger breakthrough, the one that clears all debts and there is a lot left over.

But when you have an unending, successful, successive breakthroughs, then that is what we call wonderful.

In 1Kings 17 v 8-16 the Bible tells us of the widow of Zareffat; you know the story, she had only one meal left then the man of God came on the scene and from that day onward the pot of oil is never dry, the vessel of flour was always full every day, she will wake up to discover that everything is full everyday; breakthrough upon breakthroughs.

I’m sure if you ask the son of that woman, what were you saying each time you woke up in the morning and you look at the barrel of oil is full, the vessel containing flour was full, what do you think the boy will be saying?  Wonderful!

Do you know there is someone here today that before the end of this year, when you look at your account from month to month, what are you going to say? Wonderful!

I have told you the story of a man before, he might be in the congregation right now, he said to me, he said daddy, there is nothing I can do now to stop money from coming in.

I said I think you better explain because I have not heard that one before.  Then he mentioned a particular city and he said the whole street, from beginning to end and it is a very long street, he said every house on that street belongs to him, everybody living there is his tenant, so there is nothing he can do to stop them from paying rent.

I decree to somebody here that very soon you will testify that there is nothing you can do to stop money from rolling in.

Now when a barren woman gives birth to a child, that is great, that is good news, that calls for rejoicing particularly if the fellow is someone that people have written off.

Like in Genesis 21 v 1 – 6 Sarah said who would have thought that Sarah will give Abraham a child, who would believe that at my age, I will still give birth to a child, so when she got one she named the child laughter and I can understand.

But it is better to get two instead of one, like in the case of Rachel in Genesis 30 v 20 -24 when she got her first child she said  I know God will give me a second one and by the time we get to Genesis 35 v 16- 18 the second one came.

So to have one is good, to have two is much better, but then when you were barren and people have been mocking you and they have been saying what is the use of a tree without fruit?

And they say stop eating the food of our sons and get out of here and all of a sudden you end up with six children, now what do you call that? Wonderful!

Now that is what happened in 1 Samuel 2 v 21 tells us that Hannah, ended up with six children, she started with Samuel then God gave her additional boys and additional girls, she ended up with six, that is what we call wonderful.

One of my pastors who has been waiting on God for 26 years phoned us towards the end of last year with excitement; daddy, mummy finally God has answered your prayers and He has given me three children at a go.

So we asked her, what names have you given to them; she said the first one is called Miracles, the second one is called Signs, and the third one is called Wonders.

I saw the children last week and I said that God I am looking at Miracles, Signs and Wonders.

All  of you who are believing God for the fruit of the womb, before the end of this year you will come forward rejoicing with your miracles with your signs, with your wonder, if you believe God let me hear you shout halleluiah!

The Lord says there is someone here tonight; He said you know it will take special miracles to solve your problems, He asked me to tell you that the anointing to set you free has been released.

Now let’s talk about deliverance.

Deliverance from an unclean spirit is great.

Mark 1 v 23-26 tells us the story of a man with an unclean spirit. A single demon inhabiting a man can be a terrible situation.

But thank God that the Almighty God has the power to set the captives free. He came in contact with the Lord Jesus Christ and he was free.

But when someone has seven demons inhabiting him/her alone, that is serious.

In Luke 8 v 10-3 the Bible tells us about Mary Magdalene she had seven demons inhabiting her. A woman with one single demon would be consider a witch, a woman with seven demons will  be a chief among witches; when the witches are holding their meeting, they will probably tell her to chair their meeting.

But when a man is delivered from a legion as we read in Mark 5 v 1-15 when a man had a legion and Bible scholars mean a legion mean at least six thousand demons, when a man is delivered from six thousand demons at a go that is wonderful!

That is why I have goodness for someone tonight, it doesn’t matter how many demons are troubling you, in the Name that is above every other names you are going to be free tonight.

I have told you the story before of a man highly educated but for one reason or the other, certain demons decided to take him over.

The day they brought him I thought they have brought a mad man, the way he was looking, everything thing about him was evidence of seriously possessed person.

And then he began to tell his story, if he scratched his head cockroach will come out, if he out his hand into his ear butterfly can come out, and he wasn’t a magician.

He said just look at it any part of the body I scratch an insect will come out. I told him that I know some somebody who can set a man free from legion it doesn’t matter how many they are.

At the name of Jesus Christ every knee must bow.

He left, in those days I used to visit my mother every two, two weeks in Ilesha. Two weeks later he came back, I couldn’t recognize him; he had been completely transformed.

I am telling someone here today, all those forces who thought they had already capture, by the time you get home tomorrow morning, they will see you and say wonderful.

Thank you father, the Lord says there is someone here today He said you have become well known because of your many problems. The Lord asks me to tell you that you will become well known for your many testimonies.

Daddy says there is someone here tonight; He said your breakthrough will come without previous notice.

Raising the one who has just died takes a miracle like in Mark 5 v 35 -42 Jarius daughter, the girl has just died but Jesus said the girl is sleeping; the people laughed Him to scorn.  Jesus drove them out and He said little girl I say unto you arise.

And then people said well the girl wasn’t dead, she was sleeping that was what He said.  So raising someone who is about to be buried will take a bigger miracle,

So in Luke 7 v 11-16 there was this widow who had an only son and the only son died.

Not just died, he was about to be buried when Jesus came on the scene and brought him back to life.

Brethren, raising someone who has been died and buried for four days, that one is wonderful.

That is why you see on out poster, the picture of Lazarus coming out from the tomb, all the people there must have been saying wonderful!

You will find that in John 11 v 39- 45 the sister said by now he is stinking. Not just dead, not just buried, he is rotten now.

But there is a God who can reverse the irreversible, and that God is here to attend to your case tonight.

Which reminds me of the testimony of one our sister, the baby in her womb died and she went to the hospital. The doctor said this child has been dead four days, but the woman went to the hospital when the child stops moving.

So they told the husband, we need to evacuate quickly so that it doesn’t become a problem for this woman.

But it was some days to the Congress and the woman said to the husband, “let me go to the Congress first, if after the Congress God doesn’t do anything we can come and evacuate”

The doctor said no!

This thing is already rotten inside you; the baby is dead and decaying.

Somehow the woman convinced her husband because the doctor said she herself will die if we don’t do something.

She said don’t worry let me come.

Monday she came nothing happened,

Tuesday nothing happened.

And then on Wednesday, the power of God came down.

The power of God came mightily that I couldn’t stand up.

How many of you will remember that night?

I asked them to get me a chair.

And the word of God came and said there is a woman here the baby inside of you has been dead for days but the baby is coming back to life. And the woman jumped and shouted, immediately the baby jumped back to life.

I am prophesying to someone here tonight, everything good in your life that have died will resurrect to life in Jesus name.

Thank you Father, the Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said the one who sent sorrow to your home, will come back to pick it up.

The Lord says there is someone here tonight, He said this year even your doubt will not stop your sun from rising.

So raising the dead by prayer is a great act of God, no doubt about that like in 1Kings 17 v 17-24 when the son of the widow of Zarephath died.

Elijah threw himself on the child, prayed, went up and down, returned and pray again and at the third time the baby came back to life, that was a miracle no doubt about that.

But when your dead bones begin to raise the dead that is a greater miracle!  That happened in 2Kings 13 v 20 – 21 that is the story of Elisha now, he was already dead and was buried and they were about to bury a young man and saw some enemies coming so they threw his body into the cave of Elisha, and as the dead body touched the bones of Elisha, the dead body came back to life.

That is a greater miracle!

But when you consider what happened in Ezekiel 37 v 1- 10 when Ezekiel found himself in a valley surrounded by dry bones and God asked him “son of man can these bones lives?”

The man of God with all his faith said. “God this is beyond my faith only you can tell”

And then the Lord said don’t pray, don’t touch the dry bones, just prophesy to the dry bones.

‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord begin to come together’.

I want you to put yourself in the position of Ezekiel as soon as he spoke and am sure he must have been grateful to God that there is no one there to hear him.

Because he must have sounded very stupid even to him.

“Dry bones hear the word of the Lord, come together”.

And suddenly the Bible said there was shaken.

Bones began to come together to join themselves to bones.

If you were Ezekiel what would you be saying?

Wonderful!

Let me hear you say it loud and clear.

And then as he was watching, flesh began to cover the bones, skin began to cover the bones,

I’m sure he must have been saying wonderful, but they were still dead, and God said son of man prophecy a little more.

Prophesy to the wind; say wind, I hope you are listening to me?

I mean when he was talking to dry bones he could see dry bones but when he was talking to the wind he could not see anything so he said alright wind blow and the wind blew and suddenly a whole army arose.

I am going to prophesy tonight, I know you are not dead, and you are not dry bones but there might be situations in your life that might beyond hope that looks hopeless.

In the Name that is above every other name, every dry bone in your life should come back to life.

In every situation that the wind of the Holy Spirit must blow so that your hopeless situation might become hopeful again, the wind will blow tonight in Jesus name.

And before this night is over, you will shout WONDERFUL!!

Somebody said that it is what you call that will answer, that if you don’t call a man by his name, he has no reason to answer you.

That what you don’t call, you don’t have any reason to experience.  So when ask you to say wonderful and you don’t call wonderful…

I have told you the story before, there must be a reason why the Holy Spirit is reminding me now of a young man who came when I moved to the University of Ilorin.

They gave me accommodation and he came to help me fix the electrical situation there, he put everything in order.

And when he was about to leave he said Daddy pray for me.

I said how much do I pay? He said no, I don’t have to pay, he is my son I should just pray for him but things are so bad financially I will have to give him money for transport back.

So I gave him the money and he said pray for me, I said you don’t need prayer now God bless you.

Thing so bad he didn’t have the money for transport fare, two weeks later he bought his first brand new car.

I prophesy to every business that is already dry bodes, dry bones you shall live again.

The Lord wants me to tell you another story.

I think there might something to this one also.

It is a story also you know.

One of my daughters came to me and said Daddy I am in serious trouble.

I said what is the problem?

She said my husband left me with four children and as moved in with a woman with five children and the five children by five father.

She said daddy, I have done everything I could, I have fought this battle but am totally defeated my husband is gone.

And I just hear the spirit of God saying

Tell her don’t worry.

Tell her your husband is coming back to beg.

She said I am not asking him to come and beg, I just want him to come back because this witch has taken over.

I don’t know what she did to my husband.

I said don’t worry the Almighty God will start a quarrel between him and the strange woman that nobody can settle.

Some days latter there was a misunderstanding between the strange woman and the man.

And the strange woman said unto him.

Don’t you know that your head is not correct?

If your head is correct, how can you leave your wife with your children and come and stay with me and none of these children is yours, don’t you know your head is not correct?

When God uses the devil to solve your problem what do you call that one?

The man said that is true oh,

And he packed his load came to his wife.

When he knocked at the door and the wife opened the door, he prostrated and said please take me back.

I am prophesying to every family here tonight, every evil that has come into your home to cause any kind of problem shall be up rooted in Jesus name.

Now killing a lion with bare hands takes a miracle.

And David did that and you know what a lion means.

A lion is an animal that wants to jump on you choke you and devour you.

Lion represent big bosses who want to crush those who are lower than them.

Killing a bear is a greater miracle because a bear represents an enemy who is pretending to be a friend.

Because the bear hugs his victim to death that is where you get bear hug.

When someone is pretending to be your friend, “I love you”, when he is actually planning to kill you,

To be able to represent that wolf in sheep clothing, to be able to destroy that one is a greater miracle still.

And in the Name that is above every other name, enemies that is pretending to be your friends, they will be exposed this month and they will be dealt with this month.

But then killing a goliath takes something called wonderful.

1Ssamuel 17 v 4- 9 the Bible tells us what Goliath said.

He said to the children of Israel why are you gathered together as an army?’

Give me one man let me fight him, if he can defeat me we all become your slaves, if I defeat him you all become our slaves.

What is he saying?

The devil knew David has been anointed to become king.

Goliath is saying I want to take over that kingdom even before this boy can get on the throne.

So what does Goliath represents?

Goliath represents somebody who wants to stand between you and your destiny.

And in the mighty name of Jesus just as goliath fell, just as goliath lost his head, anyone who wants to stand between you and your destiny will fall this month.

I give you an example.

In one of the nations of the world I won’t mention because this program is being aired all over the world,

We built a Church at a great expense and then we want to dedicate the Church and according to the laws of that land; you have to get approvals of all the neighbors that you are welcome.

And there was this very powerful man, high up in government.

He said I checked in the internet, I read about your general overseer.

That he said he wanted to plant church in five walking distance.

Well! Go and tell him, as long as I am alive his Church will not stay here.

And he is a very powerful man.

And so my children phoned me and said Daddy we have a problem.

What are we going to do?

We have already build the church. If we have not build the church, we will go and look for land elsewhere but the church is already built.

As a matter of fact they were already asking me to come and do the dedication.

I said what is the problem?, why are you worried?

The battle is not yours, it is between him and the Owner of the Church.

If he is bigger than the Owner of the Church well let’s wait and see.

They say so what do we do Daddy?

I said fix the date for the dedication.

Daddy says there is someone here tonight; He said the date for your celebration has been fixed.

So they fix the date for the dedication.

A week to the date, and this man is still saying you are joking, without approval it can’t be done.

The man woke up in the morning, he wanted to go to work and as he was putting on his trouser.

His leg got caught in the trouser and he fell forward and hit his head on the floor and that was the end of the story.

Anyone who says you will not reach your goal this month in particular, the Almighty God will uproot him.

The Lord says there is someone here tonight; the Lord said I will sustain your joy.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight; he said just like the wall of Jericho fell, all your opponents will crumble one by one.

Now changing your destiny for the better is great.

In 1King 19 v 19-21 the destiny of Elisha was changed.

He was to be a farmer all the days of his life, but God changed it, so that instead of living and dying a farmer, he became one of the greatest prophets that ever lived.

That was great!

Restoring your destiny is greater.

That happened to Exodus 3 v 1 – 15

Moses knew that he was to be a deliverer but something went wrong and he ended up forty years in the backside of the desert until the Almighty God said let’s restore Him.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight, the Lord said the relationship between Him and you has not been the way it ought to be for a long time, He ask me to tell you, I will start afresh with you.

Occasionally you find someone whose destiny has been totally truncated, destroy beyond repair.

When God then looks down from heaven at a man with a truncated destiny and He transformed that destiny we can only call it wonderful.

And I give you an example one, just one will do.

In Genesis 49 v 1-7 we have the story of Jacob about to die and he called his children together.

When a man is about to die, whatever he says it is a decree.

He said my children come I am about to die let me tell you what is going to happen to you.

And he began to talk to them one by one.

He told his first born, he said I know you are the first born but because of the things you did you will never excel and that settles that one.

He began to talk and talk then he came to one fellow called Levi, he said Levi, because of your terrible anger he said you are going to be scattered in Israel.

Terrible things coming from a father about to die and he finished saying all these things and died.

So there was no room for anybody to beg him and say father change your mind, it was something that was sealed.

And then suddenly God looked down from heaven and looked at Levi; the one that the father said he is going to be scattered and he said Levi draw near.

I will make you My first born.

He said of all these people irrespective of what their father had said to them, you Levi you will be My first born.

Numbers 3 v 11- 12. Truncated destiny!! Destiny destroyed beyond repairs but the Almighty God said come and be my first born.

In Yoruba Land it is known that if somebody is mad and has not yet reach the market place he can still be cured.

But once the madness takes the fellow to the market that is the end of the story.

Well some of you who are old will remember this story.

Years ago one man came to us; the wife not only ran mad, she had reached the market, not just reached the market; she had reached the market naked even before they knew what was happening.

So it was a settled matter, so they took her to one big herbalist who said well we will still try.

Then somebody who knew somebody told them and the husband came to me and said this is the problem.

I said that is no problem if you tell me where she is I will go and pray. So I went and we prayed.

The relative with whom she was saying, said to the husband ‘I don’t know this kind of man that you said you are sending, he came and he didn’t even pray for five minute, doesn’t he know what we are dealing with?

They were so disappointed and said let’s take her to cychristric hospital. If God do something fine, if not well!

After two weeks the doctor sent for the husband and said what do you say it is wrong with this woman?

Because for two weeks we have been observing her and we have not giving her drug.

If you say something is wrong with this woman then something must be wrong with you.

I decree tonight that if your destiny had been tampered with, it will be fully restored tonight in Jesus name and you will go home shouting WONDERFUL!

Now God performing wonders for you is wonderful.

I mean like in the story 2Kings 4 v 1 -7 when that woman who was in debt came to the man of God.

And the man of God said, go and borrow empty vessels, shut the door on yourself and your son and let your son begin to bring out the empty vessels to you as you pour out the oil.

I was telling some of my children last week Sunday, I said what do you think the boys were saying when the mother was pouring the oil from the vessel and they saw one empty vessel full?.

They brought another one full, they brought another one full, what do you think they were saying? Wonderful!

When your miracles begin to multiply everyday this year what will you be saying? Wonderful!

But turning you to a wonder is more wonderful.

Performing wonder for you is wonderful.

Turning you to a wonder is more wonderful, like in Act 3 v 1 -11 the man who was born lame at the beautiful gate who everybody knew he was lame, he was born lame.

He has been a beggar for more than forty years, suddenly they saw him walking and leaping and praising God. the Bible says they were all amazed. God turned the man to a wonder.

In the name that is above every other names, when people wants to give an example of wonders they will be refereeing to you very soon.

But something most wonderful is when God decides to perform wonders through you.

When He turns you to an instrument or a vessel of honor through whom He can perform wonders Act 5 v 14-16 the Bible tells us that the Almighty God so empowered Peter that his shadow began to heal the sick.

For God to perform a wonderful for you, for him to perform wonder to you that is wonderful, for God to use you to perform wonder, that is most wonderful and in the name that is above every other name you will not leave here until God has turn you to a vessel for performing wonder in Jesus name.

One of my pastors was sharing a testimony yesterday that there was a little problem over a little piece of land we have in one part of the country and then the people came and wanted to cause trouble.

One of them saw our pastor and said is this the land you are talking about they said yes, the Land of Pastor Adeboye?

They said yes. He said the last time when they came to cause trouble he said daddy shook hands with me and my body kept vibrating for a long time. Those of you that want to fight can fight; I don’t want another kind of hand.

That kind of handshake that can heal the sick, the kind of hand shake that can cause the lame to work, the kind of hand shake that can cause the dead to rise, God will give it you tonight in Jesus name.

Let me conclude so that we can have time to pray.

Thank you father, the Lord says there is someone her tonight, he said very soon your testimony will be once upon a time I was despised but now I am an amazement.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said very soon you will announce to your relative and say I told you that Jesus will never fail.

Who deserves wonders?

For whom will God perform wonders? I told you the story of a young man called Levi whose destiny was completely truncated and God completely transformed his destiny and that is wonderful in a high degree.

But what happened?

Exodus 32 v 25-26 Because God never does anything without a reason; Moses has gone to the mountain to collect the Ten Commandments.

The people came to Aaron and said we don’t know what happened to these Moses, we need an idol we can worship and they were already worshipping an idol they were naked, they were rejoicing before an idol.

When Moses came and he saw what was happening he was angry but he couldn’t face the nation alone, he wanted to punished them but he was one man, so he stood by the gate and cried out, “who is on the Lord side, let him come unto me and every sons of Levi crossed over to the side of Moses, they told Moses has cursed us….

We are not going to amount to anything but we are on the Lord side and God looked down from heaven and said Levi, you said you are on my side, then I am on your side.

Your father says you will be scattered I say you will be my first born. Who is going to get wonders from God tonight?

The question then is who is on the Lord side?

That is while if you have not yet given your life to Jesus Christ you better come and do so now. His wonder is for those on his side.

If you are pretending to be a Christian but you know your heart is not hundred percent with God come now.

God is calling for those who will be on his side… it is those who are on his side who will begin to say wonderful.

If you are not on his side you will be hearing the testimony but you won’t be able to say it is mine. If you are not on the Lord side and you want to be on the Lord side, beginning to run forward now….

As you come begin to pray calling on Jesus to save your soul.

Ask the Lord to have mercy on you, ask him to save your soul, promise him from now on you will serve him, ask him to forgive you all your sins.

The rest of you let us pray for these people; that the Almighty God will receive them save their soul and forgive them all their sins.

Let’s call on the Almighty God for all these people. Wish them well that savior will save their souls that he will forgive them all their sins that from today onward they will be called children of the living God.

Thank You Jesus, In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Father I just want to say thank you, thank you for your word and thank you for all these people who have decided that they want to be on your side, you promise that whomsoever come unto you, you will in no wise caste out.

They have come now father receive them in Jesus name.

Save their souls in Jesus name. Father forgive all their sins in Jesus name, write their names in the book of life in Jesus name, let your blood wash them clean in Jesus name, Father I am praying that from now on anytime they call on you will answered them by fire, than you Almighty God in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

I want to rejoice with you because from now on by the grace of God I will be praying for you, so I am going to need your name, your address and your prayer request so I can know how to pray for you. And by God’s grace you will be receiving miracles. Please drop these information here http://www.rccghome.org

Anointing For Expansion


Anointing of Jesus

Anointing of Jesus (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Anointing For Expansion

“Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left;” (Isaiah 54:2-3).

As a child of God, you have in you the seed of greatness; this is your birthright as Abraham’s seed. If you look through the scriptures and study the lives of the physical descendants of Abraham, you’ll find that they always made progress; no matter how they started, they ended up expanding to the point that they became the dominant force wherever they found themselves.

For example, the Bible says that Isaac “waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him” (Genesis 26:13-14). If it was so for Abraham’s physical descendants, your story should be no different for you’re the true seed of Abraham (Galatians 3:29)! Thus the natural progression of your life should be that of progress, increase and expansion in everything you’re involved in.

When you received the Holy Spirit, He brought the anointing into your life, and that anointing is supposed to do much more than make you speak in tongues and prophesy. It’ll bring progress into your life. It’ll cause everything you do to grow and expand. That anointing is the “mimshach” anointing, which in Hebrew means “expansion” or “to spread.” This anointing causes everything you do to multiply and expand beyond your immediate sphere of contact.

In this month of Progress more than ever, God wants you to recognize that anointing and let it function in you. You don’t need to wait for someone to sponsor your dream; this is your time to expand! The anointing and grace for progress and expansion is upon your life, therefore it’s time for your business to grow and expand beyond what your mind can imagine. It’s time for that little kiosk to become a supermarket! It’s time for that supermarket to become a shopping mall!

Start making plans for the greater and higher level you want to function in, for this is your season for progress. Every day, when you wake up, say “This is my set time for growth, increase and expansion because the “mimshach” anointing is working in me! Hallelujah!

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!

Keep Growing In The LORD


Stained glass at St John the Baptist's Anglica...

Keep Growing In The LORD

2 Corinthians 8:11

“Now you should finish what you started. Let the eagerness you showed in the beginning be matched now by your giving. Give in proportion to what you have.”

NKJV

Did you know that giving can be exciting? It’s like a competition to out give God. We give and God provides. We sow into our local church and God sows into our lives. His blessings may not always be financial, but they are always greater than what we expect. This shouldn’t surprise us as our God is a blessing God. He’s calling us to grow deeper with Him through giving of ourselves. Each day, it’s as if God is saying, “Keep growing.” Hearing that call, many have begun stepping out to serve others, share the Gospel, give to their church or spend more time in the Bible.

God wants to see you grow in joy, peace, patience and much more. He is opening the windows of heaven to bless those who are seeking Him. Are you ready to receive those blessings? Take action. Don’t just take notes or talk about it, step out and get blessed. Be obedient to what God has called us to do and watch your life change. You may have been asking God to help you in life with your relationships or finances, and today He is answering that prayer. He’s saying “Keep growing”. Serve, give, love and get ready for God to pour out His blessings in a major way.

Life Lesson: The Bible teaches that the more you give the more you receive.

Dear God,

I am ready to grow deeper in my relationship with You. I desire to take action in my life to be a blessing to others. Help me to live a generous life of love and service. Give me opportunities to walk this out each day this week. Strengthen me to keep growing! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

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!

Spiritual Growth. The Salvation Experience. The Prayer Of Salvation

The Salvation Experience

Beloved child of God, I congratulate you for reading this piece. The bible says in John 3:16 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.”

Jesus Christ himself in John 14:6 said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” God loves you and He is a Great God who owns the heavens and the earth. In this life, He has promised you dominion. In the life hereafter, He has promised you everlasting life. But the only way you can access these benefits is to give your life to Jesus Christ and become Born Again.

Repent from every known sin

You need to ask God to forgive you of every sin you have committed. Call back your sins into remembrance and genuinely forsake them with a determination not to go back to them.

Accept Jesus Christ and become Born Again

The prayer of salvation is simple but it is the greatest prayer you will ever pray. As you pray this prayer, you immediately gain access to dominion here on earth and your name is entered into the Book of Life. Wherever you are, say this prayer “Lord Jesus Christ, I acknowledge my sins and turn away from them now. Jesus, I accept you as my personal Lord and Saviour. Come into my life, take total control of my life. Thank you Lord. In Your Holy Name I pray, amen.”

Let me tell you what has just happened. Your name has just been entered into the Book of Life. And right now, because of your decision, there is joy in heaven. The bible says in Luke 15:7I say unto you, that likewise, joy shall be in heaven over one sinner who repents…”

Foundational Class

A foundation in any situation is very important. The foundational class, which is a must for every new believer, is where you are taught the word of God, and how to build your faith on Christ and His teachings. The bible says that all other ground is sinking sand. Therefore, we must build on the solid rock, Jesus Christ through the word of God.

Living the Born-Again Life

Now that you have started a new life as a member of God’s family, there are steps you must take to grow in the knowledge of the Lord and for your life to eternally secure in God.

Steps to Take

Start living for God: Your life must be guided by the word of God, which is the Bible (Romans 12:1-2, 9-18)

You Can Live Above Sickness!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The human body was formed by God in a way that nothing could harm it. Man was made to live long and free of sickness, disease of any kind or anything that hurts. However, Adam’s fall introduced death into the fabric of everything in the world. “Death” does not only imply the cessation of life; it also means “to fail” “to be damaged” and to “fade away”.

Thus, Adam’s fall introduced failure and damage to the world. Man, who was created in God’s image, could now fall sick. His heart, blood, liver, kidney etc, could now fail. When Jesus Christ came however, He defeated the devil and his cohorts and seized the keys of hell and death from them.

The Bible says in 1 John 3:8, “for this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” After He destroyed the hold of sin and death over your life, He then declared, “…..sin shall not have dominion over you” (Romans 6:14)! Meaning therefore that sin and all its negative effects such as sickness, failure, poverty, and death ought not to have any power over you!

The LORD Jesus Christ has given us the victory over the enemy. The reason some people are still living in bondage to the devil is lack of knowledge. God said “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). Refuse to be in bondage to sickness, disease or the devil. You can change that negative situation by stirring up the power of The Holy Spirit in you. The more of the power of The Holy Spirit you stir up by speaking in other tongues, the less of the things of this world that will be able to manifest in your life. Amen!

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!
