Psalms_23-1: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want

Good Shepherd. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

John_10-11: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

Memorise:
I Am The Good Shepherd, And Know My Sheep, And Am Known Of Mine.
John 10:14

Matthew_7-15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves

Read: John 10:11-14
11 I Am The Good Shepherd: The Good Shepherd Giveth His Life For The Sheep.
12 But He That Is An Hireling, And Not The Shepherd, Whose Own The Sheep Are Not, Seeth The Wolf Coming, And Leaveth The Sheep, And Fleeth: And The Wolf Catcheth Them, And Scattereth The Sheep.
13 The Hireling Fleeth, Because He Is An Hireling, And Careth Not For The Sheep.
14 I Am The Good Shepherd, And Know My Sheep, And Am Known Of Mine.

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

Message

John_10-11: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

One Of The Earliest Jobs That Man Engaged In After The Fall Was That Of Shepherding Animals. Abel Was Described As A Shepherd In Genesis 4:2. The Job Of A Shepherd Is A Difficult One, And It Involves A Lot Of Discomfort And Sacrifice. Jacob’s Testimony In Genesis 31:40 Should Give You An Idea Of What It Takes To Be A Shepherd. He Said:
“Thus I Was; In The Day The Drought Consumed Me, And The Frost By Night; And My Sleep Departed From Mine Eyes.”
However, There Are Different Kinds Of Shepherds. There Are Shepherds Who Do The Work Purely For Monetary Consideration: These Are Referred To As Hirelings. The Slightest Inconvenience Or Threat Encountered While Watching Over The Sheep Puts The Hireling To Flight. There Are Also Regular Shepherds, Who Show Some Care For The Sheep And Are Prepared To Take Some Minimal Risks On Their Account. Beyond These Aforementioned Is The Good Shepherd. He Loves The Sheep So Much That He Can Sacrifice Anything For Them, Including His Life. Jesus Revealed Himself As The Good Shepherd In John 10:11, Saying:
“I Am The Good Shepherd: The Good Shepherd Giveth His Life For The Sheep.”

Luke_2-11: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

The Reality Of Jesus As The Good Shepherd Assures Us Of God’s Tremendous Love, Care And Compassion. The Good Shepherd Is Ever Ready To Accommodate Any Level Of Risk For The Sheep. He Takes Time To Get Personally Acquainted With Each Of His Sheep. He Knows Their Strengths And Weaknesses, And On This Basis, He Is Able To Give Them Adequate Guidance. He Knows His Sheep And Calls Them By Name.

Philippians_3-14: I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

As A Servant Of God Or As A Leader In Your God-Given Area Of Endeavour, You Have Been Called To Be Like The Good Shepherd; But You Can Choose To Serve God As A Hireling, A Regular Shepherd Or Like The Good Shepherd Himself. How Are You Serving God Today? How Much Risk Are You Prepared To Take For The Sheep The Lord Has Placed Under Your Care? To What Extent Are You Ready To Serve The Lord Without Monetary Considerations, But Just For The Sake Of The Love Of Christ? Can Any Member Of Your Flock Call You A Good Shepherd Like Your Lord? As A Shepherd, At Whatever Level You Are Currently Operating, You Can Move Forward To The Next Level. If You Want The Good Shepherd To Be Everything To You, It Follows That You Must First Be A Good Shepherd To Those He Has Placed Under Your Care. If You Are Doing Your Work As A Good Shepherd, You Will Never Take Advantage Of The Flock Under You. While Some Pastors Are Thinking Of How To Improve The Lives Of Their Members And Help Them To Become Financially Free, Others Are Milking Their Members Dry. What Kind Of Shepherd Are You?

Galatians_5-1-1: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage

Action Point:
Adopt The Attitude Of A Good Shepherd In Relating With Those You Lead.

Romans_8-1:There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit

2-Corinthians_12-9: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me

Do You Recognise These Voices? Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 7, 2015 by Prayer

Revelation_3-20: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Do You Recognise These Voices? Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

John_5-28: Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

Memorise:
And When He Putteth Forth His Own Sheep, He Goeth Before Them, And The Sheep Follow Him: For They Know His Voice.
John 10:4

Matthew_3-17-1: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased

Read: John 10:2-5
2 But He That Entereth In By The Door Is The Shepherd Of The Sheep.
3 To Him The Porter Openeth; And The Sheep Hear His Voice: And He Calleth His Own Sheep By Name, And Leadeth Them Out.
4 And When He Putteth Forth His Own Sheep, He Goeth Before Them, And The Sheep Follow Him: For They Know His Voice.
5 And A Stranger Will They Not Follow, But Will Flee From Him: For They Know Not The Voice Of Strangers.

John_10-11: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

Message

Matthew_7-15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves

On Your Way To Heaven, One Thing You Need To Identify Clearly Is The Various Voices You Will Hear. Apostle Paul In 1 Corinthians 14:10, Indicates The Existence Of Different Voices, Each With Its Own Character:
“There Are, It May Be, So Many Kinds Of Voices In The World, And None Of Them Is Without Signification.”

Virtually Everything Seen And Unseen Has A Voice, But Of Interest To The Success Of Your Race To Heaven Is The Recognition Of The Following Voices: God’s Voice, Your Own Voice, The Voice Of Men, And The Voice Of Satan And His Demons. It Is Your Duty To Identify The Voices That You Hear, So That You Can Know How To Respond Appropriately. God’s Voice Must Be Heard, Understood And Obeyed. God’s Voice Can Come Audibly As A Still Small Voice, Through The Word Of God, From Sermons, As Prophecy, Through Dreams, In Visions And Through Any Other Medium He Chooses To Use At A Point In Time. Obeying God’s Voice Always Adds Value To The Hearer, Giving Direction And Upliftment. Every Time You Listen To And Obey God’s Voice, You Are Saved From Harm, Given Solution To A Problem, Divinely Assisted, Healed And Blessed. God Does Not Just Speak; He Speaks To His Children For A Good Purpose. He Could Speak To Warn You Of Dangers Ahead. This Is Why You Must Ask God For Grace To Recognise His Voice.

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

A Particular Brother Who Claimed To Have Been Led Of God, Proposed To Three Different Sisters, Asking Their Hands In Marriage. It Is Very Clear That If He Was Ever Led At All, He Did Not Know How To Recognise God’s Voice. John 10:4-5 States Clearly That God’s Sheep Know And Follow His Voice. If You Are Following A Stranger’s Voice, It Is Doubtful You Are Saved; But If You Are Sure Of Your Salvation, Then It Is Pertinent That You Learn To Recognise His Voice By Paying Attention To Him When He Speaks To Your Spirit. This May Occur While Studying God’s Word, Praying, Worshipping Or While In Church. Learn How He Speaks. Test What You Hear As His Voice With His Word, Because If It Is Truly God Speaking, He Will Not Say Anything Against His Written Word. In The Same Way, You Need To Identify The Voice Of The Flesh, Which Will Always Want You To Do Things That Will Satisfy Its Lusts. You Should Also Identify The Voice Of Devils, Which Will Overtly Or Covertly Nudge You To Disobey God Or Violate His Word. You Must Acquaint Yourself With God’s Voice From Today!

Psalms_23-1: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want

Action Point:
Father, As Your Sheep, Grant Me Grace To Recognise Your Voice At All Times.

Seek Revelation From God. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 7, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_119-2: Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart

Seek Revelation From God. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

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

Memorise:
That The God Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father Of Glory, May Give Unto You The Spirit Of Wisdom And Revelation In The Knowledge Of Him:
Ephesians 1:17

Isaiah_55-6: Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

Read: Acts 16:25-34
25 And At Midnight Paul And Silas Prayed, And Sang Praises Unto God: And The Prisoners Heard Them.
26 And Suddenly There Was A Great Earthquake, So That The Foundations Of The Prison Were Shaken: And Immediately All The Doors Were Opened, And Every One’s Bands Were Loosed.
27 And The Keeper Of The Prison Awaking Out Of His Sleep, And Seeing The Prison Doors Open, He Drew Out His Sword, And Would Have Killed Himself, Supposing That The Prisoners Had Been Fled.
28 But Paul Cried With A Loud Voice, Saying, Do Thyself No Harm: For We Are All Here.
29 Then He Called For A Light, And Sprang In, And Came Trembling, And Fell Down Before Paul And Silas,
30 And Brought Them Out, And Said, Sirs, What Must I Do To Be Saved?
31 And They Said, Believe On The Lord Jesus Christ, And Thou Shalt Be Saved, And Thy House.
32 And They Spake Unto Him The Word Of The Lord, And To All That Were In His House.
33 And He Took Them The Same Hour Of The Night, And Washed Their Stripes; And Was Baptized, He And All His, Straightway.
34 And When He Had Brought Them Into His House, He Set Meat Before Them, And Rejoiced, Believing In God With All His House.

Matthew_6-33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

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

There Is A Relationship Between Information, Knowledge And Revelation. Information Is A Collection Of Known Facts On A Subject Matter, Particularly Those Garnered From Cumulative Experiential Knowledge. There Are Pieces Of Information To Help You In Various Areas Of Life. For Instance, In Marriage, There Is A Lot Of Information That Can Help A Couple With Marital Problems To Improve Their Situation, Which Can Be Found In Books, Tapes, Cds, Dvds, Seminars And So On. As Long As A Couple Does Not Access Such Information, It Remains Simple Information, But The Moment They Take It, It Becomes Knowledge. The Knowledge You Receive But Fail To Act Upon Cannot Profit You.
If Anything, It Will Lead To Condemnation When The Negative Event That Could Have Been Averted Through The Use Of That Knowledge Finally Occurs. However, Getting Insight Into How Knowledge Can Be Applied In Solving A Specific Problem Is Dependent On Inspiration, Which Is Closely Related To Wisdom. Having Knowledge Is Good, But Having Revelation Is Much Better, Because Revelation Tells You How To Apply Your Knowledge To A Specific Situation You Are Confronted With In Order To Get The Best Results.

Luke_19-10: For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Take For Instance The Jailer In Today’s Bible Reading; By Asking Paul And Silas What He Must Do To Be Saved, It Shows He Already Had The Knowledge That Salvation Was Available, But He Did Not Know How To Get It. It Also Shows That Information Was Available On Salvation At That Time. Although He Had Obtained The Knowledge About Salvation, He Remained In The Dark And Joined The Authorities To Punish And Oppress Innocent Citizens, Because He Had No Revelation On Salvation. When Eventually He Caught The Revelation Of Salvation Through Jesus Christ, He Received Jesus Into His Heart And Restituted His Ways. He Washed, Fed And Took Care Of The Same Prisoners Whose Beating And Imprisonment He Had Supervised. As Long As You Remain At The Level Of Knowledge, You Are Bound To Make Series Of Mistakes Or Take Regrettable Steps Concerning Certain Situations Of Life.
Today, Many People Have Information But Lack Revelation. They Acquire Knowledge But Do Not Know How Best To Utilise It. Being Religious Is All About Having Knowledge. That Is Why You Find Out That The Most Religious People Commit The Greatest Sins. Beloved, Knowledge Is Not Enough! You Need Revelation. This Was The Essence Of Paul’s Prayer In Our Memory Verse. Call On God To Give You Revelation Concerning The Things You Know. Revelation Links You With The Purpose Of A Thing, In Order To Optimise That Purpose.

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

Action Point:
Religious Fanatics Like Saul Of Old Persecute Other Religious People, Because They Have Knowledge But Lack Revelation. Pray That God Will Reveal Himself To Them.

Psalms_119-2: Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart

Permanent Connection To The Jesus Christ. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 7, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_51-11: Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

Permanent Connection To The Jesus Christ. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

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:

Memorise:
And Of The Angels He Saith, Who Maketh His Angels Spirits, And His Ministers A Flame Of Fire.
Hebrews 1:7

Isaiah_44-3: For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring

Read: Philippians 1:20-21
20 According To My Earnest Expectation And My Hope, That In Nothing I Shall Be Ashamed, But That With All Boldness, As Always, So Now Also Christ Shall Be Magnified In My Body, Whether It Be By Life, Or By Death.
21 For To Me To Live Is Christ, And To Die Is Gain.

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

Message

Psalms_51-12: Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

For God To Use You As A Minister For Manifesting His Signs And Wonders To The World, You Must Be Totally Consecrated And Committed. In Addition, You Must Be Permanently Connected To Jesus. In Philippians 1:21, Paul Declared That If He Would Be Alive At All, The Essence Of His Living Must Be Christ. Many Of Us Are Still Living For Ourselves, Our Families And For Others. Until You Get To That Point Of Deciding To Live For Christ Like Paul Did, You May Not Be Chosen By God For The Manifestation Of His Signs And Wonders. If You Take A Piece Of Hot Iron And You Drop It Into A Bucket Of Cold Water, What Will Happen To The Water? It Will Heat Up Immediately, But As The Water Gets Warm, The Iron Loses Its Heat. If You Are Connected To The Holy Spirit And You Became Red Hot, But Then You Later Jump Into The Cold Water Of The World, You Will Still Be Healing, Delivering People And Casting Out Demons Initially, But At Some Point, Because You Are No Longer Connected With The Fire Of The Holy Spirit, You Will Begin To Lose Heat Until You Becomes As Cold As The World.

2-Corinthians_3:18: But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord

Have You Observed The Life Of Jesus Christ? Every Time Jesus Performed A Major Miracle, He Would Immediately Set Himself Apart From Men Unto God On A Mountain, In Order To Recharge His Battery. You Need To Be Permanently Connected To The Holy Spirit. When A Water Heater Containing Cold Water Is Connected To A Power Source, The Water Will Start Boiling After Some Time. If The Water Heater Is Not Disconnected, At Some Point, Evaporation Of The Water Will Follow. If After Evaporation Has Commenced, The Water Heater Continues To Receive Power, A Fire Outbreak Will Likely Happen. This Illustrates That As Long As You Remain Connected To The Holy Spirit And His Fire Continues To Flow Through You, At Some Point, You Will Manifest His Very Nature, Especially In The Dimension Of Being A Consuming Fire. No Wonder Hebrews 1:7 Says:
“And Of The Angels He Saith, Who Maketh His Angels Spirits, And His Ministers A Flame Of Fire.”
God Wants You To Manifest His Very Nature. This Is Only Possible When The Link Between You And The Holy Spirit Is Unbroken. How Is That Connection Today? Do You Once In A While Dabble Into Sin? If You Do, You Break The Connection And Move Away From Manifesting As A Flame Of Fire.

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

Action Point:
You Cannot Afford To Lose Your Link With God. Consciously Ensure You Are Permanently Connected To Him.

Ezekiel_36-26: A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Knowing God Is Life. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

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:
But Let Him That Glorieth Glory In This, That He Understandeth And Knoweth Me, That I Am The LORD Which Exercise Lovingkindness, Judgment, And Righteousness, In The Earth: For In These Things I Delight, Saith The LORD.
Jeremiah 9:24

Psalms_139-23: Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

Read: Jeremiah 9:23-24
23 Thus Saith The LORD, Let Not The Wise Man Glory In His Wisdom, Neither Let The Mighty Man Glory In His Might, Let Not The Rich Man Glory In His Riches:
24 But Let Him That Glorieth Glory In This, That He Understandeth And Knoweth Me, That I Am The LORD Which Exercise Loving kindness, Judgment, And Righteousness, In The Earth: For In These Things I Delight, Saith The LORD

Message

Psalms_51-10: Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me

Life Is Not What Many People Think It Is. It Is Not About Financial Or Material Abundance; Neither Is It About Physical Endowments. Life Is Definitely Not About Power, Achievements Or Worldly Wisdom. What Then Is Life? Jesus Answers This Question In John 17:3:
“And This Is Life Eternal, That They Might Know Thee The Only True God, And Jesus Christ, Whom Thou Hast Sent.”
True Life Is Knowing God And Jesus Christ. In Today’s Bible Reading, God Instructs Us Not To Boast Of Our Wisdom, Might Or Riches. He Said If We Want To Boast, We Should Boast In What We Know About Him. When You Engage In Such Boasting, The Essence Is Not To Flaunt Your Knowledge Like Some People Do Today; Rather, It Is To Rejoice In The Fact That God Has Revealed Himself To You To That Extent. Why Should You Take Pleasure In Knowing God? Why Should Knowing God Be Something You Should Be Proud Of? It Is Because Knowing God Can Do Certain Powerful Things In Your Life And In The Lives Of Others Around You.

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

“And Such As Do Wickedly Against The Covenant Shall He Corrupt By Flatteries: But The People That Do Know Their God Shall Be Strong, And Do Exploits.”
Daniel 11:32
By The Revelation Of God Given To Daniel, We Are Made To Understand That Knowing God Produces Strength And Exploits. What Kinds Of Exploits Are Being Referred To Here? When You Receive Jesus Christ As Your Lord And Saviour, And You Daily Increase In The Knowledge Of The Holy Trinity, You Will Not Only Have Eternal Life, But The Life Of God Will Also Be Channelled Through You To Others. For Instance, You Will Lay Your Hands On The Blind, And As The Divine Life Flows Through You To Such A Fellow, He Will Begin To See. When You Pray For The Barren, The Divine Life Will Cause Her To Conceive. This Is Life! When Your Life Begins To Bring Joy To The Lives Of Many Others, That Is Life. The Life Of God Flowing Through You Will Make You The Light Of The World, Causing Those In Darkness To See. The Divine Life Will Also Make You The Salt Of The Earth, Giving Good Taste To A Tasteless World. This Life Of God Is Not Predicated Upon The Material World But On The Relationship You Have With The Lord. How Is Your Spiritual Life? Have You Gauged Your Spiritual Life Lately?

1-Peter_3-15: But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Prayer Point:
Father, Reveal Yourself To Me, And Help Me To Respond To You The Way You Expect Me To, In Jesus Christ Name! Amen!

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

Read: Nehemiah 5:1-13
1 And There Was A Great Cry Of The People And Of Their Wives Against Their Brethren The Jews.
2 For There Were That Said, We, Our Sons, And Our Daughters, Are Many: Therefore We Take Up Corn For Them, That We May Eat, And Live.
3 Some Also There Were That Said, We Have Mortgaged Our Lands, Vineyards, And Houses, That We Might Buy Corn, Because Of The Dearth.
4 There Were Also That Said, We Have Borrowed Money For The King’s Tribute, And That Upon Our Lands And Vineyards.
5 Yet Now Our Flesh Is As The Flesh Of Our Brethren, Our Children As Their Children: And, Lo, We Bring Into Bondage Our Sons And Our Daughters To Be Servants, And Some Of Our Daughters Are Brought Unto Bondage Already: Neither Is It In Our Power To Redeem Them; For Other Men Have Our Lands And Vineyards.
6 And I Was Very Angry When I Heard Their Cry And These Words.
7 Then I Consulted With Myself, And I Rebuked The Nobles, And The Rulers, And Said Unto Them, Ye Exact Usury, Every One Of His Brother. And I Set A Great Assembly Against Them.
8 And I Said Unto Them, We After Our Ability Have Redeemed Our Brethren The Jews, Which Were Sold Unto The Heathen; And Will Ye Even Sell Your Brethren? Or Shall They Be Sold Unto Us? Then Held They Their Peace, And Found Nothing To Answer.
9 Also I Said, It Is Not Good That Ye Do: Ought Ye Not To Walk In The Fear Of Our God Because Of The Reproach Of The Heathen Our Enemies?
10 I Likewise, And My Brethren, And My Servants, Might Exact Of Them Money And Corn: I Pray You, Let Us Leave Off This Usury.
11 Restore, I Pray You, To Them, Even This Day, Their Lands, Their Vineyards, Their Olive yards, And Their Houses, Also The Hundredth Part Of The Money, And Of The Corn, The Wine, And The Oil, That Ye Exact Of Them.
12 Then Said They, We Will Restore Them, And Will Require Nothing Of Them; So Will We Do As Thou Sayest. Then I Called The Priests, And Took An Oath Of Them, That They Should Do According To This Promise.
13 Also I Shook My Lap, And Said, So God Shake Out Every Man From His House, And From His Labour, That Performeth Not This Promise, Even Thus Be He Shaken Out, And Emptied. And All The Congregation Said, Amen, And Praised The LORD. And The People Did According To This Promise.

God Hates Extortion; Hence He Prohibits It. In Our Bible Reading, After The Children Of Israel Returned To Rebuild The City Of Jerusalem, The Rich Ones Among Them Began To Extort The Poor Until They Cried Out To Nehemiah. Nehemiah Rebuked The Rich Who Did This, And He Asked Them To Make Restitution. When This Was Done, There Was Great Joy In The Land. We See A Similar Situation In The Case Of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10). Zacchaeus Was A Chief Tax Collector Who Amassed Wealth By Defrauding The Poor. The Day He Received Jesus Christ, He Immediately Decided To Share His Wealth Into Two And Give One Part Of It To The Poor. Thereafter, He Offered To Apply The Mosaic Law On Restitution, By Restoring Fourfold Of Whatever He Fraudulently Received From People (Exodus 22:1). Jesus Did Not Tell Him That His Step On Restitution Was Unnecessary, Rather He Reinforced It. Luke 19:9 Says:
“And Jesus Said Unto Him, This Day Is Salvation Come To This House, Forsomuch As He Also Is A Son Of Abraham.”

Pastor E A Adeboye, Daddy G O

Moreover, Restitution Equally Affects Employer-Employee Relationships. In Leviticus 19:13, God Warns Against Extorting Your Workers:
“Thou Shalt Not Defraud Thy Neighbour, Neither Rob Him: The Wages Of Him That Is Hired Shall Not Abide With Thee All Night Until The Morning.”

Pastor E A Adeboye. Daddy G O

Do You Know It Is Wrong To Withhold Your Worker’s Salary Or Wages A Day Beyond The Agreed Date Of Payment? There Are Employers Who Sit On Their Staff Salaries For Weeks And Months And Expose Them To Untold Hardship, And Yet They Expect Their Staff To Be Faithful In Their Work. That Is Wickedness! Such Employers Must Make Restitution By Releasing The Salaries And Paying An Inconvenience Allowance. However, If The Employer Genuinely Does Not Have The Funds To Pay The Staff And He Explains The Situation To Them Before Hand, He Is Exonerated. Some People Trade With The Salaries And Benefits Of Their Staff For Months Before Releasing Their Pay. They Do This To Derive Gain For Themselves. This Also Is Wickedness. Why Is It That Retired People Who Contributed All Their Working Years To A Fund Cannot Access Their Money Or Receive Their Pension After Retirement? God Hates Fraud, Whether It Is Perpetrated By An Individual, Organisation Or Government.

Key Point:
When You Occupy A Public Office, You Are Accountable To God And To The People You Are Serving In That Office.

What Life Is Not. Sermon And Prayer Point By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 6, 2015 by Prayer

James_1-12-1: Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him

What Life Is Not. Sermon And Prayer Point By Pastor E A Adeboye

1-John_5-12: He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life

Memorise:

And He Said Unto Them, Take Heed, And Beware Of Covetousness: For A Man’s Life Consisteth Not In The Abundance Of The Things Which He Possesseth.

Luke 12:15

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

Read: Luke 12:15-20

15 And He Said Unto Them, Take Heed, And Beware Of Covetousness: For A Man’s Life Consisteth Not In The Abundance Of The Things Which He Possesseth.

16 And He Spake A Parable Unto Them, Saying, The Ground Of A Certain Rich Man Brought Forth Plentifully:

17 And He Thought Within Himself, Saying, What Shall I Do, Because I Have No Room Where To Bestow My Fruits?

18 And He Said, This Will I Do: I Will Pull Down My Barns, And Build Greater; And There Will I Bestow All My Fruits And My Goods.

19 And I Will Say To My Soul, Soul, Thou Hast Much Goods Laid Up For Many Years; Take Thine Ease, Eat, Drink, And Be Merry.

20 But God Said Unto Him, Thou Fool, This Night Thy Soul Shall Be Required Of Thee: Then Whose Shall Those Things Be, Which Thou Hast Provided?

John_11-25: Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live

Message

Romans_8-38: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

In The Materialistic World We Live In Today, Not Many People Have The Right Understanding Of What Life Is. An Example Here Is The Farmer In Today’s Bible Reading, Who Experienced A Major Breakthrough In His Farming Business, To The Extent That He Decided To Go On A Leisure Spree For The Rest Of His Life, Because He Could Afford It. He Thought He Had Finally Made It; He Therefore Wanted To Enjoy Life And The Fruit Of His Hard Work, But Little Did He Know That He Was Just Being Foolish. John 17:2 Tells Us About The Life Which Jesus Gives:

“As Thou Hast Given Him Power Over All Flesh, That He Should Give Eternal Life To As Many As Thou Hast Given Him.”

The Moment You Receive The Lord Jesus Christ Into Your Heart, You Receive Life. This Life Is Not A Temporary Form Of Life That Will Pass Away; Rather, It Is Eternal Life. The Nature Of This Life Is Such That It Is Sustained By Growing In The Knowledge Of God And In The Knowledge Of His Word (John 17:3). May You Never Lose The Eternal Life Of God That Is Within You In Jesus’ Name.

Psalms_16-11: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Today, So Much Time And Focus Is Placed On The Acquisition Of Wealth And Material Things, But In Our Memory Verse, The Lord Jesus Christ Said That The Worth Of A Man’s Life Does Not Consist In The Abundance Of The Things That He Has. Having 100 Exotic Cars, 100 Houses Spread Across The World And Billions In Your Bank Account Is Not True Life. Also, Life Is Not To Be Defined By The Level Of Physical Charm Or Beauty That You Exude, Because Proverbs 31:30 Says Beauty Is Simply Vanity. Beauty Without The Fear Of God Is Vain, But Adding The Salvation Of God In Christ Jesus And Meekness To Your Physical Appearance Will Make You Truly Beautiful.

In Addition, Power Is Not Life. In 2 Kings 5:1, We Read Of Naaman Who Was Great And Powerful But A Leper Nonetheless. Power Belongs To God And Is Transient. If You Have Power Or You Have Attained Greatness In This World, But You Do Not Know Jesus Personally, It Is All Vanity. That Is Not Life! Life Is Also Not In Achievements. In Daniel 4:29-33, After A World Ruler, King Nebuchadnezzar, Finished Boasting About His Achievements, God Asked Him To Go And Eat Grass In The Bush For Seven Years. Life Is Not About How Many Academic Qualifications You Have Acquired, Nor Is It About Worldly Wisdom; If It Was, The Wisest Man To Ever Live On Earth Would Not Have Called Life Vanity (Ecclesiastes 2:17, Ecclesiastes 9:9). What Do You Think Is Life? Have You Encountered The True Life?

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Key Point:

A Wrong Perspective Of Life Has Misdirected So Much Of People’s Time, Efforts And Money Towards Things That Are Eternally Irrelevant.

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

God’s Presence. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye.

Posted on November 6, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_51-11: Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

God’s Presence. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Psalms_16-11: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Memorise:
He That Hath Clean Hands, And A Pure Heart; Who Hath Not Lifted Up His Soul Unto Vanity, Nor Sworn Deceitfully.
Psalm 24:4

Exodus_33-14-2: And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

Read: Psalm 24:3-4
3 Who Shall Ascend Into The Hill Of The LORD? Or Who Shall Stand In His Holy Place?
4 He That Hath Clean Hands, And A Pure Heart; Who Hath Not Lifted Up His Soul Unto Vanity, Nor Sworn Deceitfully.

Psalms_100-2: Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing

Message

Psalms_23-5: Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

It Is Always A Great Experience To Be In God’s Presence, Because The Fullness Of Joy And Everlasting Pleasures Reside There. Psalm 16:11b Says:
“…In Thy Presence Is Fulness Of Joy; At Thy Right Hand There Are Pleasures For Evermore.”
However, The State Of Our Lives Determines What We Derive From God’s Presence. According To Psalm 68:2-3, While The Righteous Receive Joy In God’s Presence, The Enemies Of God Or Those With Wicked Schemes Will Melt Like Wax Before The Fire Of His Presence. While The Fire Of God’s Presence Protects His Own, It Acts An Incinerating Agent Against The Enemies Of God’s People. As You Live In Obedience To God From Now On, The Fire Of God That Protects You Will Destroy Your Enemies In Jesus’ Name.

With This Knowledge Of The Potency Of God’s Presence, Every Child Of God Should Desire At All Times To Be In His Presence. Nevertheless, You Don’t Enter The Presence Of A King Just Anyhow; There Are Certain Protocols You Must Follow. How Much More, When Entering The Presence Of The King Of Kings? How Then Do We Enter God’s Presence? Going Into The Presence Of God Is Not About Going Into A Place Of Worship; It Is About Being Taken Up Into His Presence, Or His Presence Coming Down To You, Through Heartfelt Praise And Worship. In A Gathering Filled With God’s Glory, It Is Possible That Some People There Will Not Have Access To God’s Presence Due To Their Nonchalant And Standoffish Attitude. From Our Bible Reading, We Understand That If You Truly Want To Enter Into God’s Presence, Particularly If You Want To Benefit From The Pleasures At His Right Hand, You Must Have Clean Hands And A Pure Heart. In Other Words, Entering The Church Auditorium Is Just Not Enough; Likewise, Praising And Worshipping God With The Lips Is Just Not Enough. This Is So Because When God’s Presence Descends Upon An Assembly, God Will Ask His Angels To Carry Out A Personality Check On Everyone Present, To Know Those Who Have Met With His Conditions, And Only Those Found Worthy Will Be The Beneficiaries Of His Presence That Day. Beloved, You Must Have Clean Hands. Your Hands Must Not Be Tarnished With The Blood Of Anyone Or With The Filth Of A Foul Means Of Livelihood. Your Hands Must Have Been Washed By The Blood Of Jesus For Them To Be Deemed Clean. Similarly, Your Thoughts, Plans And Motives Must Be Pure Before You Can Enter Into God’s Presence. Prepare Yourself And Ensure You Follow Heaven’s Protocol Whenever You Want To Access The Presence Of God.

Psalms_51-11: Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

Prayer Point:
Father, Cleanse My Heart And My Hands With The Blood Of Jesus, As I Access Your Presence Today To Partake Of The Pleasures At Your Right Hand.

Psalms_16-11: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

How Prophetic Are Your Names? Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 5, 2015 by Prayer

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

How Prophetic Are Your Names? Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

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.

Memorise:

And She Shall Bring Forth A Son, And Thou Shalt Call His Name JESUS: For He Shall Save His People From Their Sins.

Matthew 1:21

Read: Exodus 2:5-10

5 And The Daughter Of Pharaoh Came Down To Wash Herself At The River; And Her Maidens Walked Along By The River’s Side; And When She Saw The Ark Among The Flags, She Sent Her Maid To Fetch It.

6 And When She Had Opened It, She Saw The Child: And, Behold, The Babe Wept. And She Had Compassion On Him, And Said, This Is One Of The Hebrews’ Children.

7 Then Said His Sister To Pharaoh’s Daughter, Shall I Go And Call To Thee A Nurse Of The Hebrew Women, That She May Nurse The Child For Thee?

8 And Pharaoh’s Daughter Said To Her, Go. And The Maid Went And Called The Child’s Mother.

9 And Pharaoh’s Daughter Said Unto Her, Take This Child Away, And Nurse It For Me, And I Will Give Thee Thy Wages. And The Woman Took The Child, And Nursed It.

10 And The Child Grew, And She Brought Him Unto Pharaoh’s Daughter, And He Became Her Son. And She Called His Name Moses: And She Said, Because I Drew Him Out Of The Water.

Message

Acts_4-12: Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

The Name You Bear Is Very Important Because It Serves As Your Identity, And Your Future May Be Connected To It. The Name A Person Bears Is Sometimes Indicative Of The Experiences He Or She Will Encounter In Life. Take For Instance Moses: This Name Means “Drawn Out Of Water” (Exodus 2:10). No Wonder Water Was A Recurring Decimal In His Life. He Turned Water Into Blood (Exodus 7:19-20); He Parted The Red Sea (Exodus 14:21-22); He Turned Bitter Water Into Sweet Water (Exodus 15:24-25); He Brought Water Out Of The Rock (Exodus 17:5-6); And The Issue That Denied Him Entrance Into The Promised Land Was About Water (Numbers 20:8-20). Knowing How Significant The Name Of An Individual Is To His Destiny, God Had To Change The Names Of Several People In The Bible (Genesis 17:5, Genesis 32:28, Mark 3:16, Acts 4:36). My Mother Told Me That After My Birth, She Intended To Name Me Elisha, But On Her Way To See The Priest For My Baptismal Name, She Forgot, So She Named Me Enoch. I Told Her I Like The Two Names: Elisha, The Man With The Double Portion Anointing, And Enoch, The Man Who Walked With God, So I Took The Two Names. By The Grace Of God, The Prophetic Essence Of These Names Is Being Fulfilled In My Life Today. Examine Your Names: If There Is Any Evil Name Among Them, Reject It, And If There Is A Good Name You Desire, Add It To What You Have, And The Lord Will Back It Up.

A Good Name Should Glorify God; For This Reason, Any Name Attached To An Idol, Local Deity Or Unclean Spirit Must Be Discarded. A Good Name Should Also Be Prophetic. A Name Such As Christopher Means “The Bearer Of Christ“. It Is A Prophecy That The Child So Named Will Bear The Person Of Jesus Christ Any Where He Goes. A Name Such As Gabriel Means “Able-Bodied One Of God” Or “Strong Man Of God“. That Is Very Prophetic! A Good Name Should Give The Bearer Something Positive To Work Towards: It Should Be A Challenge, A Promise Or A Goal He Or She Should Strive To Realise. How Prophetic Is Your Name? On The Other Hand, Many People Are Yet To See The Fulfilment Of The Promise In Their Names. For Instance, Someone Who Is Named After Wealth May Still Be Living In Squalor, And Someone Named After Glory May Still Be Living In Shame. If You Find Yourself In This Type Of Situation, Pray Hard That God Will Cause The Good Promise And Prophecy In Your Name To Be Fulfilled, And Also Work Towards Its Realisation.

Romans_10-13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved

Prayer Point:

Father, Speedily Bring Into Manifestation, Every Good Prophecy Or Promise Inherent In My Name, In Jesus’ Name.

Proverbs_18-10: The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe

Look Upwards! Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 5, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_121-5: The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

Look Upwards! Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Psalms_28-7: The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Memorise:
I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes Unto The Hills, From Whence Cometh My Help.
Psalm 121:1

Isaiah_41-13-1: For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee

Read: Psalm 121:1-2
1 A Song Of Degrees. I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes Unto The Hills, From Whence Cometh My Help.
2 My Help Cometh From The LORD, Which Made Heaven And Earth.

Hebrews_4-16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. .God’s Throne Of Grace

Message

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

In The Course Of Our Walk With God, We Encounter Challenges Of Life That Test The Level And Quality Of Our Faith; But Praise God That We Have The Assurance Of The Lord That There Is No Mountain Our Faith Cannot Surmount (Matthew 17:20). For Those Who Are In Christ, Problems Arise In Order To Generate Testimonies. The Size Of The Problem You Encounter Will Determine The Size Of Your Testimony. If You Ask God For A Big Testimony, Then You Must Be Ready To Face A Big Challenge. What Made The Testimony Of Shadrach, Meshach And Abednego Most Outstanding Was Not Just The Fact That They Went Through The Fiery Furnace, But The Fact That The Furnace, Heated To Its Most Intense Level, Could Not Harm Them (Daniel 3:19-24). Are You Going Through Fire At The Moment? Fear Not! Look Up To God And He Will See You Through.

Are You Confronted With Any Issue Of Life? In What Direction Are You Looking For Solution? If Looking Forward, Backward And Sideways Has Not Helped You, Then It Is Time To Look Up. Looking Ahead, Behind Or Sideways Simply Suggests Dependence On Self Or On People. Depending On A Fellow Man Operating At The Same Level As You Is A Foolish Thing To Do; You Cannot Access True Help That Way. Jeremiah 17:5 Says:
“Thus Saith The LORD; Cursed Be The Man That Trusteth In Man, And Maketh Flesh His Arm, And Whose Heart Departeth From The LORD.”
Furthermore, Looking Down Implies Looking At The Devil And His Forces Of Darkness, Because They Are Under Your Feet. Of Course You Can’t Go To The Architect Of A Problem For Its Solution. You Need To Know That Until You Look Upwards For God’s Intervention, You May Never Get Your Blessing.

There Was A Particular Nice Woman Who Had An Epileptic Son. Whenever He Had A Seizure, It Was So Bad. Wherever She Rented An Apartment, People Loved Her For Her Good Nature, But After They Realise Her Son Was Epileptic, They Would Show Her The Exit Door With Some Apology. This Made Her Move Houses So Often. Then One Day, While Going With The Boy To The Market, At The Very Heart Of Town, The Boy Experienced A Seizure And Everyone Fled. She Grabbed The Boy, Stood Him On His Feet, Lifted Her Eyes To God And Said, “O God, I Am Here Without Anyone To Help Me, But I Know You Are There, Please Help Me.” From That Day, Her Son Was Healed Of That Condition. Has An Unpleasant Situation Brought You To A Most Disgraceful Place? Look Up To God Today, Hold Unto Him And He Will Make A Way For You. The Lord Will Terminate Your Shame And Turn It Into Honour.

Prayer Point:
Father, Give Me The Grace To Always Focus My Gaze On You.

Are You In Error? Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Happy birthday to my sweet baby, my friend, my sister, my lover, my confidant, my pali, my only wife, my mummy and my partner in Christ. Love you today and always. @PastorFAAdeboye with love from @PastorEAAdeboye

After Your Heart Is Illuminated By The Light Of The Glorious Gospel Of Jesus Christ, You Need To Carefully Guard This Light, To Prevent It From Getting Dimmed Or Extinguished By The Introduction Of “Another Gospel” Into Your Heart. Guarding Against Falling Into The Error Of Another Gospel Involves Being Grounded In The Knowledge Of God’s Truth As Revealed In The Scriptures And Yielding Your Heart To The Holy Spirit To Teach You The Truth Of God’s Word. We Are Not To Take A Part Of God’s Word In Isolation Nor Give Personal Interpretation To God’s Word, But Rather, Allow The Holy Spirit To Interpret The Scriptures With The Scriptures. This Way, What We Believe Will Always Be Based On God’s True Word.

I Had An Encounter With A Member Of An Organisation That Forbids Its Members From Mentioning The Blood Of Jesus. There Are Very Intelligent People In That Group. In A Conversation With One Of Them, I Said, “Sir, It Is Written In Hebrews 9:22 That Without The Shedding Of Blood, There Is No Remission Of Sin. Who Do You Think Is Afraid Of The Blood Of Jesus? It Is Only One Fellow – The Devil, Because Revelation 12:11 Says The Devil Was Overcome By The Blood Of The Lamb. Anyone Who Says You Should Not Mention The Name Of Jesus Or The Blood Of Jesus Is Of The Devil. Therefore, Your Organisation Is Most Likely Connected With The Devil.” This Fellow Heard This Truth But Did Not Like It. If You Are In A Religious Organisation Or Group Where They Restrict Your Freedom To Read The Bible, You Are In The Wrong Place. If They Tell You That Because We Are Now In The Time Of Grace, The Old Testament No Longer Applies, Take To Your Heels!

Also, If You Find Yourself In An Assembly Where They Cannot Mention The Name Of Jesus Christ Directly, But Rename Him As “The Righteous One” Or “The Holy One“, You Are In A Very Dangerous Zone; Take Flight Immediately! If Your Place Of Fellowship Tells You That The Name Of Jesus And The Blood Of Jesus Are No Longer Enough, And That After Prayer In Jesus’ Name, You Need To Add The Word “Fire” Or Something Else, You Are In Error. If You Are In A Place Where They Tell You That The Name Of Jesus Is Too Hallowed To Be Used, And That In Reverence, You Should Pray To God In The Name Of Any Other Individual Like Mary, An Angel Or A Dead Saint, And That These Individuals Can Act As Mediators Between God And Man, They Are In Error. Jesus Christ Is The Only Mediator Between God And Man (1 Timothy 2:5). Read Your Bible, Hold On To The Truth And Let No Man Deceive You.

Fraud In Relationships. Sermon And Prayer Point By Pastor E A Adeboye

Thou Art Snared With The Words Of Thy Mouth, Thou Art Taken With The Words Of Thy Mouth.
Proverbs 6:2

Pastor E A Adeboye, Daddy G O

Read: Exodus 22:16-17
16 And If A Man Entice A Maid That Is Not Betrothed, And Lie With Her, He Shall Surely Endow Her To Be His Wife.

In Different Areas Of Human Relationships, Offences Arise In The Course Of Interacting With One Another. These Offences Can Sometimes Bring Physical And Emotional Injury To People, Especially In Relationships Between The Opposite Sex. One Offence That Is Pronounced In Relationships Today, Which Was Foretold By The Apostles Of Old, Is Covenant Breaking. Apostle Paul Lists This Among The Ungodliness And Unrighteousness Of Men In Romans 1:31:
“Without Understanding, Covenant-Breakers, Without Natural Affection, Implacable, Unmerciful:”

It Is Also Listed As Treachery In 2 Timothy 3:4. In Relationships Between The Opposite Sex, Covenant Breaking Is A Situation Where One Party Makes A Promise To The Other Party Concerning A Future Commitment, But Later Fails To Keep His Or Her Promise. As A Christian, God Expects You To Restitute Such Acts. In Our Bible Reading, God Said If A Man Deceived A Lady By Promising To Marry Her, And As A Result Had Sex With Her, He Had To Marry Her, Unless Her Parents Refused To Give Her To Him. In Such A Case, The Man Would Be Required To Pay Her Bride Price, Even Though He May Not Be Given The Bride. These Principles Still Apply Today. Today, There Are Instances Where A Lady Agrees To Marry A Man, And As A Result, He Invests A Lot On Her Education, Sets Her Up In Business Or Helps Her Get A Good Job; But By The Time He Expects Her To Become His Wife, He Receives The Shock Of His Life When She Elopes With Another Man. He Will Then Realise That All Along She Was Not Really In Love With Him. This Is Fraudulent! Such A Man Would Never Have Made Those Sacrifices If He Knew She Would Not Eventually Become His Wife. If You Find Yourself In Such A Situation, Go And Restitute. What You Received Was By Fraud And Must Be Returned. If You Are Not Prepared To Be Bound By A Written Or Unwritten Agreement, Why Feign Consent? Today’s Memory Verse Warns Against This.

Pastor E A Adeboye, Daddy G O, RCCG

There Are Cases Where A Lady Would Ask A Man To Send Her Abroad To School Or To Work, And In Some Cases, The Man May Even Acquire A Property Abroad In Her Name As Proof Of His Love And Commitment To Her, All With The Understanding That There Will Be Marriage Down The Line; Only For Her To Dump Him After Getting Abroad. That Is A Terrible Seed That Will Deliver The Fraudster An Evil Harvest. If You Are In That Situation, Immediately Go And Restitute Your Ways. These Scenarios Could Also Happen The Other Way Round. There Are Men, Who With The Promise Of Marriage Were Sponsored By Some Women To Become Somebody, Only For Them To Dump These Women For Some Other Ladies. Go And Restitute! Everything Obtained By Fraud Must Be Returned.

Eternal Life Starts Here. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 5, 2015 by Prayer

Romans_6-23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord

Eternal Life Starts Here. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Psalms_30-5: For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Memorise:
And This Is Life Eternal, That They Might Know Thee The Only True God, And Jesus Christ, Whom Thou Hast Sent.
John 17:3

Proverbs_11-30: The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise

Read: John 17:1-3
1 These Words Spake Jesus, And Lifted Up His Eyes To Heaven, And Said, Father, The Hour Is Come; Glorify Thy Son, That Thy Son Also May Glorify Thee:
2 As Thou Hast Given Him Power Over All Flesh, That He Should Give Eternal Life To As Many As Thou Hast Given Him.
3 And This Is Life Eternal, That They Might Know Thee The Only True God, And Jesus Christ, Whom Thou Hast Sent.

Psalms_63-3: Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

Message

John_5-24: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life

In Order To Enjoy The Things That God Has Provided For Us Through Jesus Christ, We Need To Have An In-Depth Understanding Of What These Things Are; One Of Which Is Everlasting Life. Out Of God’s Love For Us, We Have The Privilege Of Partaking In This Everlasting Life (John 3:16); But What Is Everlasting Life? This Is Life That Never Ends. It Is The Type Of Life That Even Death Cannot Terminate. It Means, Living With God Inside Of You On This Earth, And Continuing With This Life After Going Through The Gates Of Death. Eternity Does Not Start After Death, It Starts Now. Jesus Declared Thus In John 17:3:
“And This Is Life Eternal, That They Might Know Thee The Only True God, And Jesus Christ, Whom Thou Hast Sent.”

If You Want To Have Eternal Life, It Starts With Receiving Jesus Christ As Your Lord And Saviour, But It Does Not End There. It Continues With Having An Intimate Knowledge Of God. It Requires Knowing His Word. Every Bit Of God’s Word That Is Revealed To You Adds Virtue To The Life Of God Operating Within You. Although Some People Are Saved, They Have Little Or No Evidence Of The Presence Of The Divine Life In Them, Because They Do Not Know Whom They Have Believed. How Much Do You Know Of Him Who Gave His Life For You?

Apostle Paul In 2 Timothy 1:12 Declared That:
“For The Which Cause I Also Suffer These Things: Nevertheless I Am Not Ashamed: For I Know Whom I Have Believed, And Am Persuaded That He Is Able To Keep That Which I Have Committed Unto Him Against That Day.”
The Knowledge Of The Holy Trinity Is The Source Of Eternal Life. The More You Know Jesus, The More Impossible It Is For You To Be Made Ashamed. The Knowledge Of Jesus Drives Away Spiritual And Physical Shame. If You Know Jesus, You Will Not Be Ashamed Or Shy Of Being Identified With Him, Or To Suffer For Him. Knowing Him Helps You To Trust Him. The Level Of Trust Or Confidence You Place In God Is A Function Of What You Know About Him. Are You Born-Again? Congratulations! The Eternal Life Of God Is Present Inside You; But This Has To Be Jealously Guarded And Sustained By Building A More Intimate Relationship With The Holy Spirit, And By Increasing In The Knowledge Of God.

Prayer Point:
Father, Let The Presence Of Your Divine Life Be Increasingly Made Manifest In Me Every Day, In Jesus’ Name.

Am I Forever Saved? Sermon And Prayer Point By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 5, 2015 by Prayer

Acts_4-12: Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Am I Forever Saved? Sermon And Prayer Point By Pastor E A Adeboye

Romans_10-13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved

Memorise:
Christ Is Become Of No Effect Unto You, Whosoever Of You Are Justified By The Law; Ye Are Fallen From Grace.
Galatians 5:4

John_3-17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved

Read: 1 Timothy 1:18-20
18 This Charge I Commit Unto Thee, Son Timothy, According To The Prophecies Which Went Before On Thee, That Thou By Them Mightest War A Good Warfare;
19 Holding Faith, And A Good Conscience; Which Some Having Put Away Concerning Faith Have Made Shipwreck:
20 Of Whom Is Hymenaeus And Alexander; Whom I Have Delivered Unto Satan, That They May Learn Not To Blaspheme.

Romans_10-13-2: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved

Message

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

When Paul Embarked On His Christian Race, He Focused On It Wholeheartedly, So That Nothing Would Derail Him From The Race. This Is Why In Acts 20:24, He Said:
“But None Of These Things Move Me, Neither Count I My Life Dear Unto Myself, So That I Might Finish My Course With Joy, And The Ministry, Which I Have Received Of The Lord Jesus, To Testify The Gospel Of The Grace Of God.”

The Possibility Of Starting The Christian Race And Not Reaching The Finish Line Is Obvious From Paul’s Statement In The Scripture Above. However, Across The Globe Today, Several Preachers Are Teaching Erroneous Doctrines, Saying All That Matters Is To Believe In Jesus Christ, And You Will Be Saved Forever, Irrespective Of Your Conduct After You Are Saved. They Teach That If You Are Saved Today, You Will Surely Make It To Heaven, Even If You Continue To Live Like The Devil. Some Say That Any Work Of Righteousness On Your Part, Even After You Have Been Saved, Amounts To Self-Righteousness, Which According To Them, Cannot Take You Anywhere. They Also Teach That You Are Automatically Made Perfect Once You Believe In The Lord Jesus Christ. They Will Want To Tempt You By Asking If You Are Righteous. If You Sincerely Say You Still Have Some Areas Of Your Life You Are Working On, They Will Discredit You And Say That You Are Depending On Your Works To Make It To Heaven. Such Preachers Say That It Is Okay To Sin Occasionally, As Long As You Do Not Do So Very Often. These Are All Lies!

You Need To Know That It Is Possible To Fall From Grace, As Stated In Our Memory Verse. Do Not Let Teachers With Itching Ears Deceive You. They Will Tell You What Appeals To Your Flesh And Call It “The Good News“. No! It Is Called Deception. They Mix The Truth Of God’s Word With A Bit Of Deception. Some Will Tell You That The Day You Were Born-Again, All Your Sins, Past, Present And Future, Have Been Forgiven, And So If You Commit Any Sin Afterwards, There Is No Need To Confess It. It Is All A Lie! If Indeed You Are Saved And Therefore Forever Saved, Why Does The Bible Instruct You To Work Out Your Salvation With Fear And Trembling (Philippians 2:12)? Why Does Scripture Repeatedly Say That Only Those Who Endure To The End Shall Be Saved (Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13)? Why Did The Lord Of The Unprofitable Servant Banish Him To Outer Darkness In Hell (Matthew 25:30)? Take Heed, Lest You Fall! It Is Possible To Fall From Grace. Be Careful How You Run The Race!

Acts_16-31: And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house

Key Point:
Believing That Consistent, Righteous Works Are Not Needed After Salvation Is Taking The Grace Of God Out Of Context.

John_10-9: I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.

Challenges Of Life. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Posted on November 5, 2015 by Prayer

James_1-12-1: Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him

Challenges Of Life. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

1-John_5-12: He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life

Memorise:
And Moreover I Saw Under The Sun The Place Of Judgment, That Wickedness Was There; And The Place Of Righteousness, That Iniquity Was There.
Ecclesiastes 3:16

Read: Genesis 25:19-23
19 And These Are The Generations Of Isaac, Abraham’s Son: Abraham Begat Isaac:
20 And Isaac Was Forty Years Old When He Took Rebekah To Wife, The Daughter Of Bethuel The Syrian Of Padanaram, The Sister To Laban The Syrian.
21 And Isaac Intreated The LORD For His Wife, Because She Was Barren: And The LORD Was Intreated Of Him, And Rebekah His Wife Conceived.
22 And The Children Struggled Together Within Her; And She Said, If It Be So, Why Am I Thus? And She Went To Enquire Of The LORD.
23 And The LORD Said Unto Her, Two Nations Are In Thy Womb, And Two Manner Of People Shall Be Separated From Thy Bowels; And The One People Shall Be Stronger Than The Other People; And The Elder Shall Serve The Younger.

John_11-25: Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live

Message

Romans_8-38: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Looking At The Life Of Esau, One Cannot But Learn A Few Lessons From Him. Esau Was The Firstborn Of Isaac. He Was A Twin. Being The First Of The Twins, He Was Supposed To Inherit The Double Portion Blessing Meant For Firstborns. But He Had A Major Challenge: Before His Birth, A Prophecy That Would Rob Him Of His Rightful Place Had Already Gone Forth. His Problem Started While He Was Still In The Womb Of His Mother! Esau’s Mother, Rebekah, Had A Lot Of Discomfort During Her Pregnancy, And So She Went To Ask The Lord What The Matter Was.
“And The LORD Said Unto Her, Two Nations Are In Thy Womb, And Two Manner Of People Shall Be Separated From Thy Bowels; And The One People Shall Be Stronger Than The Other People; And The Elder Shall Serve The Younger.”
Genesis 25:23

Romans_8-38: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

The Forces That Would Truncate Esau’s Destiny Were Already In Place Before His Birth. Therefore, From The Very Day He Was Born, He Was Born Into Trouble. Do You Know That Like Esau, Many People Are Born Into Trouble? Before Moses Was Born, The Decree That Made It Illegal For Him To Live Had Already Been Passed. He Was Born To Die Prematurely, But God Stepped Into The Scene And Preserved His Life (Exodus 1:15–2:9). Similarly, After Jesus Was Born, A Decree Was Passed To Kill Him (Matthew 2:13-19). King Herod And His Army Were On The Lookout For Him. They Searched So Thoroughly That For The Child Jesus To Be Safe, God Had To Instruct Joseph To Escape With Him To Another Country, Egypt. The Lord Who Delivered Moses And Jesus Will Also Deliver You! Have Some People Seen Your Destiny While You Were In Your Mother’s Womb, And Declared War Against You? The Lord Will Arise For You And Put Them To Shame In Jesus’ Name.

Psalms_16-11: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

We Should Learn From The Circumstances Surrounding Esau’s Life That You Cannot Correctly Compare One Person With Another, Because Their Foundations Are Not The Same. One Of Them Might Make Easy Progress In Life With No Trouble At All, Because He Or She Was Born Into Peace, While The Other Fellow May Have Been Battling To Survive Even From The Mother’s Womb. Every Battle That Pre-Dates Your Birth Is Terminated Today! The Lord Will Put To Flight All Unknown Enemies Working Against Your Destiny!

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.

Prayer Point:
I Paralyse Every Destiny Manipulator Or Destroyer, Sent On A Mission Against Me, My Family And Members Of My Church, In Jesus’ Name.

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

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

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.

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

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.
