Faith Recovers All Your Losses. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 5, 2015 by Prayer

Hebrews_12-2: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God

Faith Recovers All Your Losses. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Galatians_2-20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me

Memorise:
As Soon As Jesus Heard The Word That Was Spoken, He Saith Unto The Ruler Of The Synagogue, Be Not Afraid, Only Believe.
Mark 5:36

Hebrews_11-1: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen

Read: Mark 5:23-24 & 35-43
23 And Besought Him Greatly, Saying, My Little Daughter Lieth At The Point Of Death: I Pray Thee, Come And Lay Thy Hands On Her, That She May Be Healed; And She Shall Live.
24 And Jesus Went With Him; And Much People Followed Him, And Thronged Him.

35 While He Yet Spake, There Came From The Ruler Of The Synagogue’s House Certain Which Said, Thy Daughter Is Dead: Why Troublest Thou The Master Any Further?
36 As Soon As Jesus Heard The Word That Was Spoken, He Saith Unto The Ruler Of The Synagogue, Be Not Afraid, Only Believe.
37 And He Suffered No Man To Follow Him, Save Peter, And James, And John The Brother Of James.
38 And He Cometh To The House Of The Ruler Of The Synagogue, And Seeth The Tumult, And Them That Wept And Wailed Greatly.
39 And When He Was Come In, He Saith Unto Them, Why Make Ye This Ado, And Weep? The Damsel Is Not Dead, But Sleepeth.
40 And They Laughed Him To Scorn. But When He Had Put Them All Out, He Taketh The Father And The Mother Of The Damsel, And Them That Were With Him, And Entereth In Where The Damsel Was Lying.
41 And He Took The Damsel By The Hand, And Said Unto Her, Talitha Cumi; Which Is, Being Interpreted, Damsel, I Say Unto Thee, Arise.
42 And Straightway The Damsel Arose, And Walked; For She Was Of The Age Of Twelve Years. And They Were Astonished With A Great Astonishment.
43 And He Charged Them Straitly That No Man Should Know It; And Commanded That Something Should Be Given Her To Eat.

1-Corinthians_13-13: And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity

Message

Hebrews_11-6: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him

Faith In Jesus Christ Is So Powerful And Relevant That If There Is Any Area Where Every Believer In Christ Needs To Grow, It Is In The Area Of Faith. Faith Is Believing That God Is Who He Says He Is. Faith Is Also Believing That God Can Do Everything He Says He Will Do. Faith Is Giving God The Benefit Of The Doubt Not To Go Below His Promise In The Face Of Contrary Circumstances. Are You In Any Form Of Bondage? If Only You Can Believe In The Power Of Jesus To Set You Free, You Will Be Free. Also, If You Can Believe That You Can Recover Any Of Your Missing Valuables That Money Cannot Buy, You Will Have It. This Was Demonstrated In The Case Of Jairus, Whose Only Daughter Died. It Seemed His World Had Crashed. The Most Important Person To Him Was Gone. For Most People, That Loss Would Have Been Permanent Or Irrecoverable. Sometimes, When Something Or Someone Goes Missing, A Reward Is Offered To The One Who Helps In Finding The Missing Person Or Item. The Size Of The Reward Would Depend On The Value The Owner Places On The Missing Item Or Person. In The Case Of A Kidnapping, A Large Amount Of Money Would Be Demanded As A Ransom By The Captors Before Their Victim Can Be Set Free. All These Are Cases Of Temporary Loss; In The Event Of A Permanent Loss Such As The Death Of A Loved One, What Ransom Can Be Paid?

In Today’s Bible Reading, Jairus’ Daughter Was In A Critical Condition, And He Went To Jesus, Asking Him To Come And Pray For Her. On The Way Back Home With Jesus, Somebody Came From His House To Tell Him That It Was Too Late As The Child Had Given Up The Ghost. When Jesus Heard The Message, He Simply Told Jairus, “Don’t Be Afraid; Only Believe.” Why Did Jesus Say This? He Knew The Bad News Was Capable Of Affecting The Faith Of Jairus, Causing Him To Doubt. Jairus Held On To The Restorer, And His Child Lived. If You Have Faith In Jesus, No Loss Is Permanent. If You Lost A Child, He Can Restore That Child To You Or Give You Another Child. If You Lost A Job, You Can Recover It Or Be Given Something Better; If Only You Believe Jesus Can Do It. What Is That Situation Of Loss You Have Experienced? Invite The Restorer, Jesus Christ, To Step Into It. Hold On To Him In Faith Until Your Desire Is Met.

Galatians_5-22: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith

Prayer Point:
Father, Increase My Faith And That Of Your People In My Local Assembly, So That We Can Receive The Good Things We Are Holding Onto You For.

Romans_1-17: For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith

Prayer Queries The Roots Of Your Problem. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 5, 2015 by Prayer

Luke_6-28: Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you

Prayer Queries The Roots Of Your Problem. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

John_14-16: And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever

Memorise:
Yea, They Shall Not Be Planted; Yea, They Shall Not Be Sown: Yea, Their Stock Shall Not Take Root In The Earth: And He Shall Also Blow Upon Them, And They Shall Wither, And The Whirlwind Shall Take Them Away As Stubble.
Isaiah 40:24

Matthew_21-22: And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Read: Isaiah 40:22-24
22 It Is He That Sitteth Upon The Circle Of The Earth, And The Inhabitants Thereof Are As Grasshoppers; That Stretcheth Out The Heavens As A Curtain, And Spreadeth Them Out As A Tent To Dwell In:
23 That Bringeth The Princes To Nothing; He Maketh The Judges Of The Earth As Vanity.
24 Yea, They Shall Not Be Planted; Yea, They Shall Not Be Sown: Yea, Their Stock Shall Not Take Root In The Earth: And He Shall Also Blow Upon Them, And They Shall Wither, And The Whirlwind Shall Take Them Away As Stubble.

Matthew_5-44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you

Message

James_5-16: Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Jacob’s Experience At Peniel Reveals That Prayer Addresses The Foundation Of Problems (Genesis 32:24-30). In Other Words, It Tackles The Root Cause. Most Times, When Attempts Are Made To Solve A Problem, The Focus Is On The Peripheral Or At The Surface Level. When You Attack The Symptoms Of A Problem But Leave Its Roots, The Problem May Seem To Fizzle Out For A Moment, Only For It To Make A Powerful, Formidable Comeback. Prayer Is So Important That It Can Cause Problems To Receive Queries From Heaven. After Jacob Prayed, The Root Of His Problems Received A Query From God. Genesis 32:27 Says:
“And He Said Unto Him, What Is Thy Name? And He Said, Jacob.”

As You Pray, God Will Query The Foundation Of Your Problems! The Foundation Of Jacob’s Problem Was His Name. As He Prayed, There Was A Divine Shake-Up. Some People Do Not Believe That Prayer Can Tackle Problems Emanating From Their Ancestry. They Believe That Since The Particular Problem Affecting Every Member Of Their Family From One Generation To Another Began Several Generations Ago, Nothing Can Be Done About It, Especially If The Person It All Started With Is Dead. Nothing Can Be Further From The Truth! Why Is Jesus The Alpha And Omega, The Beginning And The End If He Cannot Go Into The Past And Undo Evil Deeds? From Today, As You Pray, The Lord Will Query The Foundation Of Your Problems.

The Foundation Of A Problem Quakes When God Queries It. The Foundation Of That Nagging Problem In Your Life, Family, Workplace And Ministry Receives A Divine Query Today! It Begins To Quake Now! God Is A Specialist At Dealing With Roots. In Isaiah 40:24, God Declared Thus:
“Yea, They Shall Not Be Planted; Yea, They Shall Not Be Sown: Yea, Their Stock Shall Not Take Root In The Earth: And He Shall Also Blow Upon Them, And They Shall Wither, And The Whirlwind Shall Take Them Away As Stubble.”

When God Queries The Foundation Of A Problem, The Roots Will No Longer Hold It Down. That Means The Days Of That Problem Are Numbered. That Long-Standing Situation That Has Caused You So Much Pain, Tears And Sorrow Is Receiving A Divine Query Now! Its Roots Will No Longer Hold You Down. The Root Of That Problem Has Just Lost Its Grip Over Your Life In Jesus’ Name.

Mark_14-38: Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak

Prayer Point:
Father, By Your Word, Blow Upon My Problems And Let Them Wither From Their Roots Today.

2-Chronicles_7-14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land

Wealth Without Covetousness. Sermon And Prayer Point By Pastor E A Adeboye.

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Prayer

Proverbs_13-11: Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase

Wealth Without Covetousness. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Proverbs_10-22: The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it

Memorise:
And When Jesus Saw That He Was Very Sorrowful, He Said, How Hardly Shall They That Have Riches Enter Into The Kingdom Of God!
Luke 18:24

Pastor E A Adeboye. Daddy G O

Read: Luke 18:18-25
18 And A Certain Ruler Asked Him, Saying, Good Master, What Shall I Do To Inherit Eternal Life?
19 And Jesus Said Unto Him, Why Callest Thou Me Good? None Is Good, Save One, That Is, God.
20 Thou Knowest The Commandments, Do Not Commit Adultery, Do Not Kill, Do Not Steal, Do Not Bear False Witness, Honour Thy Father And Thy Mother.
21 And He Said, All These Have I Kept From My Youth Up.
22 Now When Jesus Heard These Things, He Said Unto Him, Yet Lackest Thou One Thing: Sell All That Thou Hast, And Distribute Unto The Poor, And Thou Shalt Have Treasure In Heaven: And Come, Follow Me.
23 And When He Heard This, He Was Very Sorrowful: For He Was Very Rich.
24 And When Jesus Saw That He Was Very Sorrowful, He Said, How Hardly Shall They That Have Riches Enter Into The Kingdom Of God!
25 For It Is Easier For A Camel To Go Through A Needle’s Eye, Than For A Rich Man To Enter Into The Kingdom Of God.

The Truth Of God’s Word That You Are Exposed To Will Determine The Degree Of Freedom You Experience. In The Past, Many Of Us Were Held Under One Type Of Bondage Or The Other By The Devil Through Our Wrong Beliefs; But Thank God For The Truth We Later Received. Can You Imagine We Once Believed We Needed To Be Poor In Order To Get To Heaven, Because We Had Heard That The Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil? The Devil Knows And Quotes The Scriptures, But He Usually Manipulates Or Misquotes It To Confuse, Deceive Or Get You To Offend God. God Did Not Say That Money Is Evil, But That The Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil (1 Timothy 6:10). If We Had No Money, How Would We Have Built Some Of The Great Kingdom Projects We Have Undertaken At The Redemption Camp? For Example, We Had To Use Several Tons Of Steel Spanning Several Kilometres And Several Tons Of Cement To Build The Auditorium Where People Come To Receive Salvation From God. The Truth Is, Neither Wealth Nor Poverty Can Take You To Heaven; Your Saving Faith In Jesus Christ Is What Will Take You There. The Poorest Man Who Does Not Know The Lord Will End Up In Hell, Just As The Richest Man Who Is Born-Again Will Continue His Life In Heaven.

God Wants You To Prosper In Three Main Dimensions: Spiritually, In Health, And In All That You Lay Your Hands Upon, Including Your Business And Finance (3 John 2). However, When You Love And Crave Money To The Extent That You Are Ready To Sacrifice Your Salvation For It, You Are In A Precarious Situation. When The Rich Young Ruler Came To Ask Jesus How He Could Make It To Heaven, The Lord Put Him To Test, Saying “Since You Have Kept All Of The Law, Do One More Thing: Sell All You Have, And Give The Proceeds To The Poor, Then Come And Follow Me.” The Man Failed The Test Because He Loved Money More Than The Salvation Of His Soul. It Seems He Said In His Heart, “Sir, You Can Keep Your Salvation While I Keep My Money.” Some People Who Profess To Know The Lord Still Cannot Place Money Where It Belongs. They Will Do Just About Anything To Get Money: Steal, Defraud, Inflate Cost Of Materials And So On. Such People Are In Serious Trouble, Because No Covetous, Greedy Or Lying Fellow Will Enter Heaven. Nonetheless, God Does Not Want You To Die Poor. The Wealth He Has For You Shall Locate You This Season In Jesus’ Name.

Clean Under The Carpet? Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Pastor E A Adeboye, Daddy G O

Memorise:
Lie Not One To Another, Seeing That Ye Have Put Off The Old Man With His Deeds;
Colossians 3:9

Pastor E A Adeboye, Daddy G O

Read: Exodus 22:10-12
10 If A Man Deliver Unto His Neighbour An Ass, Or An Ox, Or A Sheep, Or Any Beast, To Keep; And It Die, Or Be Hurt, Or Driven Away, No Man Seeing It:
11 Then Shall An Oath Of The LORD Be Between Them Both, That He Hath Not Put His Hand Unto His Neighbour’s Goods; And The Owner Of It Shall Accept Thereof, And He Shall Not Make It Good.
12 And If It Be Stolen From Him, He Shall Make Restitution Unto The Owner Thereof.

The Advent Of Sin Brought Problems Into The Relationship Between God And Man, And In The Relationship Between Man And His Fellow Man. The Day You Were Born-Again, Your Quarrel With God Was Laid To Rest, But Not The Quarrel With Men. It Takes Restitution To Settle Pending Issues With Men. Apostle Paul Was Conscious Of This And That Was Why In Acts 24:16 He Said:
“And Herein Do I Exercise Myself, To Have Always A Conscience Void Of Offence Toward God, And Toward Men.”
Have You Settled Your Pending Restitutions?

Many Years Ago, While Still An Unsaved School Teacher, I Had A Visitor For Whom I Had To Take A Bed From The School Dormitory. After His Departure, I Retained The Bed, And When I Eventually Left The School, I Took It With Me. Seven Years Later, I Gave My Life To Jesus, And When I Learnt About Restitution, I Decided To Obey. I Paid Back To The School Double The Value Of That Bed. I Felt It Was Not Right Returning It, Having Used It For Seven Years. When I Did This, I Had Peace. Do You Know That Your Peace Is Tied To Those Pending Restitutions? In Other Words, Even Though The Lord Wants Your Peace To Be Full, There Is No Way This Can Happen Except You Restitute Your Wicked Ways.

Moreover, Do You Know That When Somebody Puts Something In Your Care And It Gets Missing, You Are Expected To Restitute, Unless The Owner Specifically Says You Should Not? If You Borrowed Somebody’s Car And Damaged It While In Your Custody, It Is Your Responsibility To Repair It; But If You Cannot Afford To Repair It At That Time, Report The Matter To The Owner, Apologise And Humbly Ask Him To Help You Repair It, Promising To Repay Him As Soon As Possible. If The Owner Says You Should Not Bother To Settle The Bill, Then And Only Then Are You Free. The Christian Life Is A Life Of Responsibility. You Cannot Afford To Destroy Things And Hide Them. Some House-Helps, Children Or Wards Mistakenly Destroy Valuable Things In The House And Conceal Their Wrong-Doing. This Is Wrong! The Matter Should Be Exposed So That The Appropriate Disciplinary Measures Will Be Meted Out. That Issue You Swept Under The Carpet Will One Day Be Discovered. Right Your Wrongs Today!

Jesus. The Gift Of Life.

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Prayer

Ephesians_1-3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Jesus! The Gift Of Life

John_3-5: Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God

Memorise:
And If I Go And Prepare A Place For You, I Will Come Again, And Receive You Unto Myself; That Where I Am, There Ye May Be Also.
John 14:3

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts_2-38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Read: John 14:1-3
1 Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled: Ye Believe In God, Believe Also In Me.
2 In My Father’s House Are Many Mansions: If It Were Not So, I Would Have Told You. I Go To Prepare A Place For You.
3 And If I Go And Prepare A Place For You, I Will Come Again, And Receive You Unto Myself; That Where I Am, There Ye May Be Also.

Acts_2-38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Message

Mark_9-23-1: Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth

What Is Life? In Simplistic Terms, We Can Define Life As The Opposite Of Death. When You Travel To A Far Country, Say For A Period Of Three Months, You Will Experience A Temporary Separation Between You And The People, Things And Locations You Are Familiar With. But When Death Occurs, It Permanently Separates You From The Things You Love, From Your Loved Ones And From The Places You Are Familiar With. God Gave Jesus To Us To Give Us Life, And To Destroy The One Who Had The Power Of Death – The Devil (Hebrews 2:14). For This Reason, Wherever The Process Of Death Has Been Activated, Jesus Can Terminate It And Restore Life Fully. In John 11:25, He Declared Himself To Be The Resurrection And The Life. God’s Gift To Us In The Person Of Jesus Shows How Much God Loves Us – To The Point Of Giving Us The Gift Of Life (John 3:16). With Jesus, Death Cannot Permanently Take Hold Of You (1 Corinthians 15:54).

Also, Jesus Came So That We Would Not Die Financially. To Be Financially Dead Is To Be Financially Bankrupt. Have You Experienced This In Your Business? The Lord Will Bring Your Finances Back To Life. Jesus Became Poor So That You Can Be Financially Free (2 Corinthians 8:9). Because Of The Price Jesus Has Paid, Financial Freedom Is Yours From Today! Jesus Is Our Shepherd So That We Would Not Lack Anything Good (Psalm 23:1). In Addition, Jesus Was Given So That We Might Not Die Mentally. A Mentally Dead Fellow Is One Who Has Lost Control Of His Or Her Mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 Says:
“For God Has Not Given Us The Spirit Of Fear; But Of Power, And Of Love, And Of A Sound Mind.”
Even For The Mentally Sick, Jesus Can Restore The Intellect. You Can Regain Your Mental Wholeness. Whatever Is Wrong With You Mentally, The Lord Will Put Right Today In Jesus’ Name.

Moreover, Jesus Was Given To Us So That We Can Have A Permanent Relationship With The Almighty God For The Rest Of Our Lives. Through Jesus, You Have Access To Your Heavenly Mansion After Your Sojourn On Earth. This Is One Reason Why You Must Not Break The Relationship Between The Lord And Yourself. Nothing On Earth Is Worth Separating You From Christ. Never Allow Anything, No Matter How Alluring, To Break You Off From The Love Of Christ. He Was Given Generally For Everyone But Specifically For You. Ensure You Respond Positively To God’s Love So That You Can Maximally Enjoy The Benefits Of Knowing Him. It Is Well With You.

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

Prayer Point:
Father, Grant Me Grace To Remain In Your Love Till Your Son Returns To Take Me Home.

Before The Manifestation Of Signs. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Prayer

Isaiah_7-14: Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Before The Manifestation Of Signs. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Isaiah_9-6: 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, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Memorise:
God Also Bearing Them Witness, Both With Signs And Wonders, And With Divers Miracles, And Gifts Of The Holy Ghost, According To His Own Will?
Hebrews 2:4

Psalms_139-14: I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Read: Psalm 34:1-3
1 A Psalm Of David, When He Changed His Behaviour Before Abimelech; Who Drove Him Away, And He Departed. I Will Bless The LORD At All Times: His Praise Shall Continually Be In My Mouth.
2 My Soul Shall Make Her Boast In The LORD: The Humble Shall Hear Thereof, And Be Glad.
3 O Magnify The LORD With Me, And Let Us Exalt His Name Together.

There Are Certain Criteria God Looks Out For Before Choosing A Fellow Through Whom His Signs And Wonders Will Be Manifested To The World. He Saw Meekness And Humility In Moses. If The Lord Will Use You To Do The Greater Works He Promised (John 14:12), You Must Be Meek And Gentle. You Must Also Be Humble To The End. Some People Start Off Being Humble, And God Begins To Lift Them Up; But At Some Point, They Become So Full Of Themselves That They Commit The Grievous Sin Of Taking Or Sharing In God’s Glory. Because Of This, God Takes His Leave From Them. Those Who Will Go Far With God Must Start, Continue And End With Humility. Take Note That When The Lord Sent Moses Back To Egypt, He Did Not Send Him Back Alone. God Instructed Him To Go With His Rod; A Rod Which God Decided To Make His Own. Exodus 4:17 Says:
“And Thou Shalt Take This Rod In Thine Hand, Wherewith Thou Shalt Do Signs.”

He Obeyed, And With That Rod, God Performed Signs And Wonders. He Never Parted With That Rod. God May Want To Take Over Your Rod Too. He May Want To Convert Something That Is Dear To You To His Own As An Avenue For The Performance Of Signs And Wonders. What Is Most Important Here Is That Whatever He Asks Of You Must Be Done In All Humility. When You Do This, The Signs Will Follow.

Similarly, If You Check Closely, You Will Find Out That God Chooses Worshipers. He Chose David, The One Who Said He Would Bless The Lord At All Times And Continually Praise Him With His Mouth. How Committed Are You To The Worship Of God? Some Worship Him Only When The Going Is Good, But When They Go Through Trying Times, They Cease To Do So. Instead, They Begin To Grumble, Murmur And Complain. There Is A User Of This Devotional: God Chose You For Signs And Wonders, And He Even Started Using You In The Miraculous Until You Began To Grumble And Complain. If You Can Repent Of This And Embrace The Regular Worship Of God, Appreciating Him For His Works In Your Life, The Working Of Miracles That Stopped In Your Life Will Begin To Flow Again. When This Happens, Testify To God’s Glory Before The Congregation Of God’s People. Are You A Worshipper? How Often Do You Worship God? Is There Quality In Your Worship? If You Will See Signs And Wonders In Your Life And Ministry, You Must Be Prepared To Live A Life Of Quality Worship.

Pastor E A Adeboye. Daddy G O

Key Point:
Your Willingness To Obey All Of God’s Commands Is What You Need To Enter The Realm Of The Miraculous.

Treading On Serpents. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Prayer

Matthew_10-16: Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves

Treading On Serpents. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Hebrews_4-12: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart

Memorise:
Behold, I Give Unto You Power To Tread On Serpents And Scorpions, And Over All The Power Of The Enemy: And Nothing Shall By Any Means Hurt You.
Luke 10:19

Acts_1-8: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Read: Luke 10:17-20
17 And The Seventy Returned Again With Joy, Saying, Lord, Even The Devils Are Subject Unto Us Through Thy Name.
18 And He Said Unto Them, I Beheld Satan As Lightning Fall From Heaven.
19 Behold, I Give Unto You Power To Tread On Serpents And Scorpions, And Over All The Power Of The Enemy: And Nothing Shall By Any Means Hurt You.
20 Notwithstanding In This Rejoice Not, That The Spirits Are Subject Unto You; But Rather Rejoice, Because Your Names Are Written In Heaven.

Ephesians_6-12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places

Message

2-Timothy_1-7-1: For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind

Holiness Makes You A Weapon That God Can Use. As Long As Sin Dwells In You, It Makes You Loathsome To God And Unsuitable For His Use. Hence, 2 Timothy 2:21 Says:
“If A Man Therefore Purge Himself From These, He Shall Be A Vessel Unto Honour, Sanctified, And Meet For The Master’s Use, And Prepared Unto Every Good Work.”
If You Truly Want God To Use You To Heal The Sick, Raise The Dead And Perform Signs And Wonders, Then You Must Run Far Away From Sin And Live A Life Of Holiness Unto God. It Is Important To Note Here That If You Lay Your Hands On The Sick, Nothing Will Happen Unless Jesus The Healer Lays His Hands On Yours. So, It Is Not Your Hands Doing The Healing, But His. If Your Hands Are Stained With Sin Or With Blood, Jesus Will Not Lay His Hands On Yours. How Clean Are Your Hands?

Moreover, Holiness Empowers You To Fight On God’s Side Against The Devil And His Demons. Imagine The Same Fellow Who Was A Slave Of Sin And A Prisoner To The Devil, Now Confronting Him Face To Face And Facing The Forces Of Evil In Battle. This Is Just Great! God In Isaiah 41:15 Said:
“Fear Not, Thou Worm Jacob, And Ye Men Of Israel; I Will Help Thee, Saith The LORD, And Thy Redeemer, The Holy One Of Israel. Behold, I Will Make Thee A New Sharp Threshing Instrument Having Teeth: Thou Shalt Thresh The Mountains, And Beat Them Small, And Shalt Make The Hills As Chaff.”
Holiness Empowers God’s People To Fearlessly Confront Any Satanic Agent And To Paralyse His Or Her Powers. By Holiness, You Become Strong In The Lord And In The Power Of His Might. It Clothes You In God’s Armour And Protects You From The Missiles Of The Enemy (Ephesians 6:14).

Holiness Makes You Stand Tall In The Midst Of Opposing Forces (John 14:30-31), And Positions You In Christ So That Satanic Forces Are All Kept Under Your Feet (Ephesians 1:20-23). Sin Puts The Sinner Under Satan; This Is Why He Can Tread On Them At Will (Romans 6:16). Holiness Reverses That Order And Places The Believer Above The Devil. No Wonder Jesus In Luke 10:19 Says:
“Behold, I Give Unto You Power To Tread On Serpents And Scorpions, And Over All The Power Of The Enemy: And Nothing Shall By Any Means Hurt You.”
Anytime You Dare Demons When Sin Is In Your Life, You Can Be Sure You Will Suffer Some Injuries; But If You Are Living Holy, You Can Trample Them Under Foot.

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

Key Point:
A Person’s Lifestyle Determines His Or Her Position In The Spirit Realm. While Sin Puts You Under The Devil, Holiness Puts You Above Him.

God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_84-11: For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly

Finishing The Race. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Hebrews_12-28: Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

Memorise:
I Have Fought A Good Fight, I Have Finished My Course, I Have Kept The Faith:
2 Timothy 4:7

Ephesians_2-8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Read: 2 Timothy 4:6-8
6 For I Am Now Ready To Be Offered, And The Time Of My Departure Is At Hand.
7 I Have Fought A Good Fight, I Have Finished My Course, I Have Kept The Faith:
8 Henceforth There Is Laid Up For Me A Crown Of Righteousness, Which The Lord, The Righteous Judge, Shall Give Me At That Day: And Not To Me Only, But Unto All Them Also That Love His Appearing.

2-Timothy_2-1-1: Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus

Message

Romans_6-14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

The Moment You Became Born-Again, A Race Was Set Before You (Hebrews 12:1). This Implies That Until A Person Becomes Born-Again, He Or She Has No Destination To Go With God. It Is The New Birth In Christ Jesus That Gives You A Destination In God. Are You Saved? If You Are, There Is A Divine Destination You Have Been Called Unto. Religion And Being Religious Can Never Give You A Destination In Christ. If You Are Born-Again, You Are Going Somewhere Glorious, Prepared For You By The Lord Jesus Christ, Both In This World And In The World To Come; But If You Are Not Born-Again, You Are Heading Nowhere. You Shall Arrive At Your God-Given Destination In Jesus’ Name.

Moreover, It Is One Thing To Start A Race And Another Thing To Finish It. While It Is A Great Thing To Finish The Race, It Is More Glorious To Finish It With Joy. The Devil Will Do Everything To Stop You From Starting The Race, But When He Fails, He Will Try To Hinder You From Reaching The Finish Line. When He Sees That He Is Not Able To Stop You From Finishing The Race, He Will Do Everything Possible To Make You Miserable, Sad, Depressed And Unhappy Along The Way, So That You Will End The Race With Grumbling, Regrets, In Tears And, If Possible, Even Accusing God. These Are All Satanic Wiles, But By The Grace Of God, You Shall Overcome.

One Bible Character Who Was Very Conscious Of The Race He Was Called To Run Was Paul The Apostle. In Our Bible Reading, Towards The End Of His Race, He Looked Back And Assessed His Performance. He Assessed Himself Against The Backdrop Of The Rewards He Saw Reserved For Him In Heaven. Paul Knew Exactly What He Wanted. He Had Set His Goal Right From When His Race Started, And Had Worked Assiduously Towards Achieving It. In Acts 20:22-24, In Spite Of The Difficult Situations He Had Already Gone Through For The Faith, He Acknowledged That Several Unpleasant Events Were Awaiting Him Even As He Headed For Jerusalem. Nevertheless, He Was Completely Detached From Them, Because He Was Totally Sold Out To The Lord; The Devil Was Therefore Not Able To Get His Attention. He Had To Do All These So That He Could Finish His Race With Joy. If You Truly Want To Finish Your Race With Joy, You Must Die To Self. Satan Will Do Everything To Get At You, But If You Are Dead To Self, You Will Not Be Moved. However, If You Allow Self To Control You, You Will Take Offence And Finish In Sorrow, And You May Even Get Derailed. Are You Ready To Pay The Price To Finish This Christian Race With Joy?

Romans_5-17: For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ

Prayer Point:
Father, Help Me Finish With Joy The Christian Race Set Before Me.

Ephesians_4-29: Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers

25 And When He Saw That He Prevailed Not Against Him, He Touched The Hollow Of His Thigh; And The Hollow Of Jacob’s Thigh Was Out Of Joint, As He Wrestled With Him.
26 And He Said, Let Me Go, For The Day Breaketh. And He Said, I Will Not Let Thee Go, Except Thou Bless Me.
27 And He Said Unto Him, What Is Thy Name? And He Said, Jacob.
28 And He Said, Thy Name Shall Be Called No More Jacob, But Israel: For As A Prince Hast Thou Power With God And With Men, And Hast Prevailed.
29 And Jacob Asked Him, And Said, Tell Me, I Pray Thee, Thy Name. And He Said, Wherefore Is It That Thou Dost Ask After My Name? And He Blessed Him There.
30 And Jacob Called The Name Of The Place Peniel: For I Have Seen God Face To Face, And My Life Is Preserved.
31 And As He Passed Over Penuel The Sun Rose Upon Him, And He Halted Upon His Thigh.
32 Therefore The Children Of Israel Eat Not Of The Sinew Which Shrank, Which Is Upon The Hollow Of The Thigh, Unto This Day: Because He Touched The Hollow Of Jacob’s Thigh In The Sinew That Shrank.

Isaiah_41-10: Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness

One Lesson About The Workings And Operations Of God From Today’s Bible Reading Is That Prayer Compels Blessings Out Of Unwilling Helpers. There Are Some People Who Can Help You But Who Deliberately Refuse To Do So For One Reason Or The Other. If You Fail To Pray, You Might Be Denied Their Help; But If You Pray, Your Prayers Can Force Them To Have A Change Of Heart, And Move Them To Help You. Why Did Jacob Have To Wrestle With God? Why Did He Say He Would Not Let Go Until His Desire Was Granted? It Is Because There Is The Possibility Of Unwillingness From Destiny-Helpers. In The Name Of Jesus, All Destiny-Helpers Who Have Refused To Help You Will Have A Positive Turn-Around And Render Help To You From Today.

You Need To Understand The Reasons Why A Destiny-Helper May Refuse To Help The One He Or She Has Been Appointed To Help. Many Factors May Be Responsible For This, And One Of Such Factors Is Sin. The Greatest Helper Of Destiny That Anyone Can Have Is God. God Wants To Help You, But Sin Ties His Hands (Isaiah 59:1-2). Some People Have Maltreated Their Helpers Unknowingly, Only To Later Realise That The Person They Had Treated Badly Has A Significant Role To Play In Their Lives. Never Oppress Anyone, Particularly Those Who Appear To Be In A Disadvantaged Position, Because You Don’t Know What They Will Become Later. Besides, If You Are Always Antagonising Your Helpers, Others Who Were Meant To Help You Will Soon Take Their Flight From You.

In Addition, Prayer Makes Your Helpers Remember You And Review Your Situation In Your Favour. Jacob Wrestled With God All Night, And This Moved God To Remember His Plight And Review His Situation. This Is Why God Asked Jacob, “What Is Your Name?” From That Moment, Things Changed For Jacob. You May Want To Ask: “What If Jacob Had Not Prayed?” The Answer Is That His Story Would Have Ended Prematurely. Esau, His Vengeful Brother, Who Was Very Militant, Would Have Taken Revenge On Him. This Tells You That If Not For The Prayers You Had Prayed, And If Not For The Intercession Of Others To God On Your Behalf, You May Not Be Where You Are Today. You Need To Pray So That You Can Arrive At God’s Ordained Destination Ahead Of You.

Prayer Point:
Father, In Your Mercy, Reverse Today, Whatever Is Making My Destiny-Helpers Withdraw Their Help From Me, In Jesus’ Name.

Freed By The Truth? Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Prayer

John_14-6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me

Freed By The Truth? Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Memorise: If The Son Therefore Shall Make You Free, Ye Shall Be Free Indeed. John 8:36

John_8-32: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Read: John 8:32-36 32 And Ye Shall Know The Truth, And The Truth Shall Make You Free. 33 They Answered Him, We Be Abraham’s Seed, And Were Never In Bondage To Any Man: How Sayest Thou, Ye Shall Be Made Free? 34 Jesus Answered Them, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto You, Whosoever Committeth Sin Is The Servant Of Sin. 35 And The Servant Abideth Not In The House For Ever: But The Son Abideth Ever. 36 If The Son Therefore Shall Make You Free, Ye Shall Be Free Indeed.

Psalms_86-11-1: Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

Message

Psalms_100-5: For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Jesus Is The Only Way To Salvation, And The Truth That Sets Free. He Declared That If He Sets You Free, You Will Be Free Indeed (John 8:36). He Also Said That One Is Set Free By Knowing The Truth In Him (John 8:32). I Am Living Proof Of The Freedom That Jesus Gives, And A Living Witness Of What It Means To Be Set Free And Left Free. While In My Final Year Of Secondary School In 1960, There Was An Altercation Between My Father And Some People In Our Village Compound, And It Was Over Me. During A Family Meeting, In Spite Of My Father’s Pleas, His Adversaries Threatened My Life. They Said, “Is It Because Of This Boy That You Are Refusing To Join Us? We Will See How Old He Will Grow Up To Be.” When My Father Returned Home And Reported This Threat To My Mother, I Ran For My Life. For 13 Years, I Kept Running Away From Home Until I Met Jesus. When I Did, My Flight From Home Stopped. Praise God That The Forces Of Darkness That Hitherto Put Me To Flight Now Take To Their Heels When They See Me, Because I Now Carry The Greater One Inside Of Me. Are You Passing Through A Similar Experience? Are You Afraid Of Demonic Powers? Have You Been Running From Your Village Or Town? Stop Running! Confront Them With The Power In The Name Of Jesus! When You Are In Christ And You Know Your Rights And Privileges In The Kingdom, And You Choose To Stand On God’s Word To Activate His Promises, No Evil Power Can Destroy You. Confront Every Power Opposing You Today In The Name Of Jesus. For Some Believers, Fear Has Kept Them On The Same Spot. They Fail To Recognise That Jesus Christ Has Liberated Them From The Bondage Of Fear. While Expounding On What Jesus Accomplished Through His Death, Hebrews 2:15 Says: “And Deliver Them Who Through Fear Of Death Were All Their Lifetime Subject To Bondage.” One Of My Sons Challenged Some Idol Worshippers During Their Festival. He Went To Their Headquarters To Preach To Them. Instead Of Attacking Him, They Were Afraid Of What He Was Carrying Inside Him. They Let Him Go Because They Reasoned That For Him To Be That Bold, He Must Have A Power Greater Than Theirs. Of Course He Knew Who He Was Carrying – The Almighty God! The Madman Of Gadara Had Thousands Of Demons In Him, But One Command From The Truth Set Him Free. Do You Know Jesus Enough To Be Able To Withstand The Wiles And Arrows Of Darkness By The Use Of His Name? What Truths Based On His Word Have You Been Exposed To? Do You Stand On Them? What Efforts Have You Made To Increase Your Knowledge Of The Truth?

2-Timothy_2-15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Action Point: Pray That The Leaders Of Your Country Will Get To Know The Truth, So That They Can Govern In The Fear Of God.

Psalms_91-4: He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

In A Particular Church, Some Children And Teenagers Were Asked To Contribute Some Money For A Specific Purpose To Their Coordinator. After A While, The Money Contributed Disappeared Into Thin Air, And What Was Promised Was Never Delivered. That Is Stealing! Such Fraudulent Actions Can Take Heaven Away From Its Perpetrators. If You Are Guilty Of Such An Act, Go Back And Restitute, Even If You Have Moved From That Place To Another. Do You Know That Some People Need To Restitute Some Items (For Example, Church-Owned Hymn Books) And Money To The Churches They Once Attended In The Past? Wherever You Have A Restitution To Make, Go And Do So For The Sake Of Making Heaven.

Moreover, Stealing Comes In Different Shades. Have You Lied While Filling Your Tax Forms By Declaring Less Than What You Earn? You Have Defrauded The Government. Do You Have Something That Belongs To The Government In Your Custody? Return It! Did You Join Others To Share The Proceeds Of Bribery, Illegitimate Deals And Extortion In Your Office? Return It! Have You Stolen A Position From The Rightful Candidate Through Lying Or Mudslinging? Go And Restitute Your Ways. Anything You Fraudulently Acquired Must Be Returned To The Rightful Owner.

“The Getting Of Treasures By A Lying Tongue Is A Vanity Tossed To And Fro Of Them That Seek Death.”
Proverbs 21:6
As A Dealer In Used Cars, Do You Tamper With The Mileage Figures Of Cars You Sell Just To Deceive Potential Buyers? Repent. When Asked To Supply Some Goods In A Contract, Do You Look For Fairly Used Ones, Refurbish Them And Present Them As Brand New? Restitute! When You Go For A Course Outside Your Place Of Residence, Do You Lie That You Lodged In An Expensive Hotel, Whereas You Stayed In A Cheaper Hotel Or Even Lodged With A Friend Or Relative? Do You Falsify Figures? Some Pastors Manipulate Attendance To Enhance Their Periodic Performance Assessment. If You Can Deceive Man, Can You Deceive God? Even If You Succeed With That Deception And Get What You Wanted, Does God’s Silence Equal Divine Approval? Restitution Is Putting To Rest Something That Is Experiencing Unrest. Until You Restitute A Pending Matter, There Can Never Be Rest, No Matter What Else Is Done. God Wants You Holy. It Must Be His Way And Not Yours.

Every Lie Told Is Not Gone Into Oblivion; Rather, It Is Only Waiting Somewhere To Implicate The Liar.

Is Your Love For God Proven? Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 3, 2015 by Prayer

1-John_4-12: No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Is Your Love For God Proven? Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Hebrews_10-24:And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

Memorise:
He That Loveth Not Knoweth Not God; For God Is Love.
1 John 4:8

1-John_3-16-2: Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Read: 2 Timothy 4:7-8
7 I Have Fought A Good Fight, I Have Finished My Course, I Have Kept The Faith:
8 Henceforth There Is Laid Up For Me A Crown Of Righteousness, Which The Lord, The Righteous Judge, Shall Give Me At That Day: And Not To Me Only, But Unto All Them Also That Love His Appearing.

John_13-35: By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Message

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.

If You Can Prove To God That You Truly Love Him, You Will Provoke Greater Love And Great Blessings In Return. After Paul Showed God How Much He Loved Him, Not Only Did God Perform Special Miracles Through Him While He Was Still Alive (Acts 19:11), God Also Showed Him The Glorious Crown Awaiting Him In Heaven. How Great And Awesome It Is To See The Reward Reserved For You In Heaven. Some Of Us Desire To Have This Experience. While This Is A Good Desire, The Question Is: Have You Demonstrated Your Love For God Beyond All Reasonable Doubt? In Fact, God Made Paul Aware Of The Time He Would Finish His Christian Race; Death Did Not Come To Him As A Surprise. There Are So Many Things That You May Not Have Easy Access To As A Believer In Christ Until You Prove To God That You Love Him Unconditionally, Willingly And Sacrificially.

Solomon Is Another Person Who Demonstrated His Love For God. He Did This By Giving A Powerful, Record-Setting Offering. This Moved God To Give Him A Blank Cheque, So That He Could Ask For Whatever He Desired. He Asked For An Understanding Heart That Would Enable Him Govern God’s People Successfully. God Granted Him His Request And Gave Him Even Much More. In Other Words, If You Can Prove Your Love For God, Even When You Do Not Know What To Ask For, God Will Give You What You Need And Much More.

God Loves You And Me. He Showed This When Jesus Died In Our Place On The Cross Of Calvary, To Save Us From The Eternal Death That Awaited Us As The Just Retribution For Our Sins. Jesus Never Sinned. He Was The Only One Who Lived On Earth Without Sinning, Yet He Willingly Gave Up His Righteous, Spotless And Sinless Life For Us So That We Will No Longer Perish. 1 Peter 3:18 Says:
“For Christ Also Hath Once Suffered For Sins, The Just For The Unjust, That He Might Bring Us To God, Being Put To Death In The Flesh, But Quickened By The Spirit:”

If You Accept His Love Today, All Your Sins Will Be Washed Away From The Record Books By His Blood. You Will Then Become A Child Of God. But If You Reject His Love, You May Be Inviting Eternal Wrath And Damnation To Yourself. Give Your Life To Jesus Today. If You Are Already Born-Again, Ask For Grace To Love Him More. You Can Have The Best That God Has Reserved For You By Showing Him How Much You Love Him. Show It Through Obedience To Him, Consecration And Sacrificial Giving. Let Nothing Be Too Much For You To Give To God; After All, He Gave You All That You Have, And He Owns The Blessings You Will Yet Receive.

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

Key Point:
God Establishes Your Love For Him Through The Small And Big Tests You Face.

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

An individual who believes he or she is wiser than other people is proud. Proverbs 26:12 says:
“Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.”
It is bad enough to be a fool, but this Scripture tells us that a person who thinks he knows more than every other person is in worse shape. While there may still be a ray of hope left for the fool, the case of the proud is almost completely hopeless. 1 Corinthians 8:2 says:
“And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.”

It is what some people know that makes them proud (1 Corinthians 8:1). The knowledge of God that you have should not generate pride in you but strength (Daniel 11:32). As a husband, if you say you are not proud, why then is it that you don’t entertain the useful suggestions of your wife? As a leader, do you operate with others under you as if you are the custodian of knowledge? If you are not proud, you will be able to learn from your subordinates and even from children. Believe it or not, there are lots of advice, useful suggestions and other blessings God will be sending to you through your subordinates and those under you; but if you are not ready to humble yourself to receive these, you may likely miss them.

One way of identifying the proud is through their boastings. A proud fellow will not only brag about what he can do, but also about several things he cannot do, all in a bid to make him look bigger than who he really is. As a child of God, you are expected to avoid boasting because several variables in life are completely out of your control (James 4:14-16). Hence, our Bible reading says even when you are wealthy, never put your trust in your wealth or boast about what you have. Money may buy you a water bed, but it cannot buy you sleep. What is the use of a water bed without the ability to sleep? Also, you may be the richest man in the world, and yet with all your wealth, you cannot buy salvation for yourself or for your brother. Money can buy a beautiful wife but not a good name. Do you boast of your accomplishments? You need to be broken. Forget whatever you may have achieved and yield yourself to the hands of the Lord, asking God to mould you as He deems fit.

Pastor E A Adeboye, Daddy G O, RCCG

And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
Genesis 21:6

Read: Genesis 21:1-6
1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

Pastor E A Adeboye, Daddy G O, RCCG

Message

Pastor E A Adeboye. RCCG. Daddy G O

We serve a God that fills the mouth of his chosen with laughter. Some chosen of the Lord testified of this in Psalms 126:2 saying:
“Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.”
In Genesis 18:1-14, when the Lord visited Abraham and Sarah and ate in their tent, He promised them that they would have a son in nine months’ time; but Sarah laughed because her husband was over 99 years old and she herself was 90 years old. She thought that this promise was a joke borne out of how much the three august visitors enjoyed the meal that she and Abraham had prepared. God asked why she laughed, but she denied that she laughed. Nine months later, she gave birth to laughter, and she laughed for the rest of her life (Genesis 21:6). Today, God still makes people laugh.
When God makes you laugh, your laughter will be sustained. But how can God make you laugh today? God makes you laugh when you receive an unexpected divine visitation. It is one thing for you to pay God a visit, like when you attend a church programme or a special programme like the Holy Ghost Service; but it is another thing for God to visit you. It is a beautiful experience when God visits a congregation or group of people, but it is even lovelier when God picks out an individual in a large congregation for divine visitation. The Lord will single you out for a divine visitation this season in Jesus’ Name.

In John 5:2-9, there was a multitude of sick folks at the pool called Bethesda, but when Jesus visited there, He went straight for the man who had been sick for 38 years, healed him and left the place. In like manner, in Mark 10:46-52, Jesus entered Jericho and passed through it looking for whom to visit. He saw none in Jericho, but as He was leaving, in the midst of a crowd, he saw a blind beggar outside the city gate, healed him and continued with His journey. As Jesus healed these people, He introduced laughter into their lives.
There was no record that either of them was ever sick again. Whatever criteria He uses to determine candidates for His visitation shall work in your favour today. Out of the crowd of those who need children, the Lord will visit you with yours. Out of the crowd of those who need promotion, the Lord will promote you. Out of the crowd of those who need special anointing, the Lord will visit you specially today. However, flee from sin, and do only what pleases Him. Be faithful in your tithes and offerings, and worship Him.

And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
Genesis 30:1

Read: Numbers 16:29-35
29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.
30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.
31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:
32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

Envy is a terrible character flaw that everyone who has accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour must completely give up. Envy can lead to the murder of the one being envied or the murder of his or her dreams. Many polygamous families are wrapped up in envy. The mark of a place where there is envy is confusion and evil. James 3:16 says:
“For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.”
As much as it lies within your power, avoid such places, because the Spirit of God will not stay in a place where there is confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). In such places, people go to any extent to discredit, poison, afflict and destroy their own out of envy. If you are driven by envy, you are on a satanic mission: a self-destructive mission that will definitely lead to regret someday. Today, some churches are envy-driven. Do you know that some pastors go to set up their own ministries out of envy? The foundation of such ministries is faulty from the beginning, and if you dare to check, God is completely out of it. Are you driven by envy? What are you doing as a result of envy? Repent and amend your ways today before it is too late.

There is a great price the envious always has to pay. This price could have a physical, emotional and spiritual component. The price for envy can be very costly! You would be amazed at what that tiny envy in your heart towards your neighbour can take out of you. Envy can erode the blessings of the envious. If you do not want to lose your blessings, completely abstain from it. Korah, Dathan and Abiram paid dearly for the envy that led them to rebel against their leader – Moses (Numbers 16:1-3). God publicly set them aside to show everyone that they had done the wrong thing. God, who earlier appointed them as leaders under Moses, openly discredited them. Thereafter, the ground swallowed them up together with their households. Envy made sure their generation was terminated. That envy in your heart can terminate your future generations! Greed and envy are two tools the devil uses to destroy future generations and destinies! Gehazi’s greed brought leprosy to his generation (2 Kings 5:27), while the envy of Korah, Dathan and Abiram completely wiped out their generations. Check your heart! That tiny looking seed of envy that appears harmless today can become your greatest undoing. Ask God to help you uproot it now.

Dangers Of Envy. Sermon and prayer point by pastor E A Adeboye

Pastor E A Adeboye, Daddy G O, RCCG

A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
Proverbs 14:30

Read: Genesis 4:3-8
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

From Proverbs 3:31-33 we understand that oppressors should not be envied, because there is a divine curse on their households. If you envy an unbeliever for any reason, you may be attracting the curse on such a fellow to yourself. Furthermore, Psalm 37:1-2 admonishes us to look beyond the material blessings of sinners, as they are heading for a tragic end. Besides not envying sinners, Galatians 5:26 makes it clear that it is equally wrong to envy one another. Envy is dangerous, because it can trigger a chain of negative events in the life of the envious. If there is envy in the heart of a person and it is not dealt with, it can lead to murder, as was the case with Cain. Cain and his younger brother, Abel, offered up sacrifices before God.
While Abel’s offering was accepted, Cain’s offering was rejected. Instead of going back to God to find out what he did wrong, or going to his brother to find out what he did right, so that he could adjust and offer an acceptable sacrifice, he took the mean option of giving room to envy. He nursed envy in his heart until the day they had a quarrel over some other issue. On this day, he hit his brother so hard that he died. Envy leads to murder. If you are envious, a seed that can grow into murder is already in your heart.

Similarly, in Genesis 37, we see how Joseph’s brothers were taken over by envy. They envied him because he was their father’s favourite son. This they did instead of finding out what they could do to make them partake of their father’s favour. When Joseph had a set of dreams revealing a great future ahead, they envied him the more. Envy made them forget that Joseph was their younger brother and of the same blood with them.
Envy affected their reasoning to a point where they became very irrational. Come to think of it, if their younger brother’s dreams of greatness were realised, would it not positively affect their position in several ways? This should have made them encourage him to fulfil his destiny, so that they could become co-beneficiaries. Instead of this, envy poisoned their hearts against their own blood and got them to take up the assignment of killing his dream. Are you envious of anyone? Are you out to kill other people’s dreams because if realised, they could become greater than you? It is evil! Repent today!

Acts_2-38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Key Point

Envy distorts the rational thinking process of the envious and makes such a fellow more subjective than objective.

God Still Sends Angels. Sermon and prayer point by Pastor E A Adeboye

Psalms_91-11: For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Memorise

Pastor E A Adeboye. Open Heavens. RCCG

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Hebrews 1:14

Read: Acts 27:20-25
20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

When God sends help from Heaven to an individual, He could send an angelic being to rescue the fellow. Often times, such an angel takes up a familiar form while executing the assignment. When this happens, the recipient of that assistance may not recognise the angel for who he is. For instance, many years ago, it was time to build a particular church. Announcements were made for members to gather together on a particular date and volunteer themselves to take part in the work. On the set day, as they gathered in the morning, they prayed to God before commencing the work, asking for strength not to be tired, and that God should send His angels to join them in the work. After the work started, they observed three unknown faces that had joined them in doing the work. Although they noticed that these men did most of the work, none of them dared to ask them who they were.

At the end of that day’s work, when they were trying to take stock of the day’s activities, they wanted to appreciate everyone, particularly those three unknown people, but they realised that they had disappeared.

Similarly, when I was about six or seven years old, one of my elder sisters got married and went to live with her husband. One day, we met and I asked her where her farm was. “Not very far” she said, as she tried to describe it to me. At that age, I could not determine the meaning of “not very far“, so I set out to locate it on a particular day. At a point, I did not know where I was, how to get to her farm or how to get back home. I realised I was lost! In my own little childish way, I looked up to heaven for God’s help. By the time I looked down, I saw a little dog which showed a very friendly disposition towards me and was sort of beckoning to me to follow it. So I followed the dog until I got to my sister’s farm.
On seeing me, my sister asked, “How did you get here? Who brought you?” “I followed that dog“, I replied. “Which dog?” She asked. “That little white dog“. Then she said, “There is no dog on this farm.” When we went outside their hut, there was no dog anywhere. God sent His angel to rescue me, and the angel took the shape of a dog to accomplish the mission. The Lord will go before you. He will send His angel to lead you on the path to your destiny. May He open your eyes to see the angels He sends your way in Jesus’ Name.

Pastor E A Adeboye, Daddy G O

Action Point

Whether you see them or not, as long as you are saved, holy and obedient to God, always remember that an angel is around you.

Raising Godly Children? Sermon and prayer point by pastor E A Adeboye

Raising Godly Children? Sermon and prayer point by pastor E A Adeboye

God Bless Our Children

Memorise

Ephesians_6-4: And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:4

Read: Ephesians 6:1-4
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

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

Message

Matthew_18-3: And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

When God gives you children, He expects you to raise them in a godly manner. For this reason, He sent you this express command in Proverbs 22:6:
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
This passage of Scripture tells us to “train up a child“. In other words, even when God gives you several children, each of them requires personal attention. Every child is different from the other. Never lump children together without making out time to teach, instruct, correct, rebuke, discipline and lead them by example individually. Every child that God gives to you is hungry to take something out of you. Let them take the life of Jesus out of you. Personal attention is very crucial to the development of your children and wards.

Also, carry them along with you when you are going for church programmes. There are parents who leave their children at home when they are going to church. When you ask why they do that, they say their children are already youths and should be left to decide things for themselves. That scenario suggests that the parents are carefree. If you fail to bring up your children in the way and admonition of the Lord, you will be courting trouble. Joshua’s resolve in Joshua 24:15 is very important to us here. He said both himself and his household would be devoted to the service of the Lord. In other words, he must have made serving God an attractive thing to his family.

There are some pastors’ children whose primary desire is to become pastors; other careers or professions are secondary options to them. Their desire shows that their parents have done a good job on them. But if you are a pastor and your child says the last profession he will ever consider is to be a pastor, check it out, something must have gone wrong in the training of that child. Do you always paint the ministry in bad light to your children? How do you present the Christian faith to your children or wards – as interesting or as a burden? Do you just dole out dos and don’ts to your children, or do you take out time to patiently explain why things should be done the way you want them done, and why certain things should not be done? It is your responsibility to raise your children to fear and love God.

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

Key Point

While some families are raising leaders and builders of nations, others are raising miscreants and misfits. Everyone will give account to God over how they raised their children.

Matthew_5-9: Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God

Instruments Of Deliverance. Sermon and prayer point by pastor E A Adeboye

Psalms_50-15: And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

Memorise

But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
Jeremiah 1:7

Psalms_34-4-1: I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Read: Genesis 50:18-20
18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

Matthew_18-3: And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Message

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

Children are carriers of blessings wherever they go. When Isaac was born, God put paid to the sorrow in the heart of his parents (Genesis 21:6-7). When Samuel was born, the chief mocker of his mother had no choice than to swallow her words (1 Samuel 1:6-7 & 2:1-3). Similarly, when Samson was born, the children of Israel began to receive the deliverance that had eluded them for so long (Judges 13:2-5). This shows that God can send you a child just to deliver you, your family or even your nation from a particular captivity. It is my prayer that from now onwards, you will not just have children, but children who will be instrumental to delivering joy to you in full in Jesus’ Name.

In addition, when God wants to preserve a people or a nation, He can send a child. That was the case with Joseph. God did not only use Joseph to preserve his own family, he was also used to preserve other families of the world. Dear parents, do you know that there could be another Joseph in your house? When young Joseph began to have those wonderful dreams, his brothers were angry and envious, but his father simply observed the scenes, analysed the dreams and realised he had a special child in his house – a child of destiny (Genesis 37:3-11). May God open your eyes to see the Joseph in your house!

Also, there may be another Samson in your house. Samson was still young when the Holy Spirit began to move him from time to time (Judges 13:24-25). If his parents were observant, they would have noticed. In one of our meetings, the presence of the Holy Spirit was so strong that the children were baptised with the Holy Ghost. The teachers could not believe what was happening, but when I came to listen to them myself, I knew God was the One at work. There may be a Samson in your house, which is why you need to take extra care in raising your children in the fear of God and obedience to His word. Proverbs 22:6 says you should spend quality time in raising your children up in God’s Way. Any child you fail to bring up properly will ultimately cause you sorrow. Are you leaving the training of your children to your house helps and nannies? Take responsibility for your children’s upbringing today!

Ephesians_6-4: And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord

Key Point

If you are prayerful and sensitive enough, you will notice some early signs or traits in your children that can be a lead on what God would have them do on earth.

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

Wise In Your Own Eyes? Satan’s Necklace. Sermon and prayer point by Pastor E A Adeboye

Wise In Your Own Eyes? Satan’s Necklace. Sermon and prayer point by Pastor E A Adeboye

Proverbs_13-20: He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed

Memorise

Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
Psalm 3:7

Matthew_10-16: Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves

Read: Psalm 3:5-7
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

Proverbs_6-6: Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise

Message

Proverbs_29-11: A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards

One character flaw that has worked against many people all through the ages is pride. Unfortunately, many people fail to recognise pride for what it is; rather, they see it as part of self respect. Proverbs 21:4 says pride manifests itself in the carriage of a person and in the state of their heart. Not many proud people realise that they are proud. Psalm 73:6 says pride is like a chain around the neck of the proud. In other words, pride cannot be hidden for too long, just as a necklace is seen by all. That Scripture also says that there is a link between pride and violence. If you are proud, you won’t be far from evil, violent actions. God always has problems with His children who are proud, because pride is Satan’s necklace. You cannot be a child of God and while dressing yourself, you put on the necklace of your Father’s enemy! Immediately any child of God wears Satan’s necklace, God keeps His distance from the fellow. Are you proud? Are you wearing Satan’s necklace? Put it off now if you want God to relate well with you!

How can you identify the proud? A proud fellow thinks he or she is better, superior, wiser and stronger than other people. It is wrong to think you are wiser or better than others. Why? Wisdom comes from God, and He can give it to whoever He wants. If you misuse the wisdom God has given you, He can take it from you or give it to someone else. Also, if you are wise in the things of the world, you ought to be extremely careful and humble, because some people who are walking about the streets as madmen and women were once very wise. There are PhD holders and professors who have become insane. Do not let your wisdom become your undoing. There is a very thin line between wisdom and folly. No matter what you know, you can never be more knowledgeable than God. 1 Corinthians 1:25 says this about God:
“Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”
An antidote to pride is having the fear of the Lord. Proverbs 3:7 says:
“Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.”
The more you fear God, the less likely you are to be proud. Ask God to increase His fear in your heart.

Psalms_86-11-1: Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

Key Point

You cannot put on the robe of righteousness, and thereafter wear Satan’s necklace (pride).

Proverbs_9-10-2: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding
