The Wrestling Match By http://www.girlfriendsingod.com

 

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. – (Ephesians 6:10-12, NIV)

It was the end of the school year.  The sun was blazing in the sweltering high 80s with not a hint of shade to be found on the treeless playground.  The boys were stinky from their sweaty schoolyard endeavors and the girls were now wilted versions of the fresh flowers they had been that morning.  It was almost time for the big wrestling competition.  Electric excitement lingered in the air.  I was a fifth grader at West Hempfield Elementary School in Irwin, Pennsylvania and I had signed up to participate in the wrestling match.

To this day, I’m somewhat amused and perplexed that I would’ve thrown myself into the middle of such a barbaric display.  Wrestling certainly wasn’t my sport of choice, or even a faint interest of mine.  So, as we all gathered around the red and white striped gymnasium mats for the annual, end-of-the year wrestling tournament, I was sweating bullets…not just from the relentless, yellow ball of heat in the sky, but also from the nerves that consumed my body.

Before the match even began, I was a captive to the bully in my brain.  What do you think you are doing?  This is ridiculous!  Caroline is not only three inches taller than you, but she’s meaner than you, and she’s in the sixth grade!  You are going down, Gwen.  Prepare to be humiliated in front of every fourth, fifth and sixth grader in the school.

At the sound of the whistle, the match was on. Caroline and I danced around like two alley cats with their backs raised high. She had a confidence in her eye that was foreign to me at that moment. A series of unskilled and ungraceful moves followed. (Cringe with me here!) She lunged and I retreated. I lunged and she retreated. Then came contact.  Within seconds we were on our hands and knees battling for control. Battling for the win.

The sounds of the crowd were deafening as Caroline moved in to get the better of me. All I could think was, Just DON’T let her get you on your back! Feelings of hopelessness and desperation flooded my heart as she and I exchanged move for move. There were several points allotted and several restarts from Mr. Gordon’s whistle.  In the midst of this primitive battle, my goal had changed from trying to win to just trying NOT to be pinned…therein lies the defeat.

As the match came to an end and the final whistle blew, it was Caroline’s victorious arm that was raised high in the sky.  I was defeated in front of half the school.  Cheers went up for Caroline as I shrunk back into the sea of students, longing for super powers that would render me invisible.  I was exhausted from the match, humiliated from my failure, and defeated by both Caroline and my own mind.

That was a dark day for me as a young girl.  But as dark as that day was emotionally, I was able to clearly see my opponent.  Ladies, when it comes to spiritual wrestling matches, we do not have the advantage of sight.  The Bible says: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”  (Ephesians 6:12, NIV)

Many of the battles we contend with each day are spiritual.  We can’t see our enemy.  And while at first glance this may seem disarming, look again at Ephesians 6.  The Bible clearly tells us that we can be equipped to stand firm with the Armor of God!

 

“Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.” (Ephesians 6:13-18, NIV)

Though the wrestling match with Caroline seemed overwhelmingly daunting, the battles that I face now are so much greater.  I’m thankful that God’s word clearly says the victory is ours if we are in Christ. If God is for us, who can be against us?

What are you wrestling with today?  Is the enemy speaking lies to you?  Do you feel weak?  Strength comes when we call on Jesus!  We can stand firm against the schemes of the devil when we put on the armor of God!   Suit up girls…a battle is going on all around you.   Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power!

Let’s Pray

Dear Lord, I thank You for being a Mighty God Who longs to cover my weakness with Your strength.  Please equip me for all that lies ahead today, protect me from attacks and schemes of the enemy, and help me to be strong in Your mighty power.  Cover me with Your peace, truth, faith, and salvation so I can stand firm in the battle.

 

I ask this in the powerful name of Jesus, amen.

Psalm 99. God The Supreme King. Praise To The LORD For His Holiness

1 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved. 2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people. 3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy. 4 The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. 5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. 7 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them. 8 Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. 9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Psalm 98. God The Ruler Of The World. A Song Of Praise To The LORD For His Salvation And Judgment

A Psalm

1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. 2 The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the heathen. 3 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. 5 Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. 6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King. 7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 8 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together 9 Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

Psalm 97. God The Supreme Ruler. A Song Of Praise To The Sovereign LORD

1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. 2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. 4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. 5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. 7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. 9 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. 10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. 11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

10 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. 11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. 12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice 13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. 3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. 4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. 5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. 6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.

7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. 10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: 11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

Psalm 94. God The Judge Of All. God The Refuge Of The Righteous

1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself. 2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. 3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? 4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? 5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. 6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. 7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. 8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? 9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? 10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? 11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; 13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. 14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. 15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. 16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? 17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. 18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. 19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. 20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? 21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. 22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. 23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day

1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 2 To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. 4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. 5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. 6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: 8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. 9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. 11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. 12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. 14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; 15 To show that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

 

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Psalm 91. Safety Of Abiding In The Presence Of God. God Our Protector

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Unstoppable Generations Sermon by Pastor E. A. Adeboye during October 2012 RCCG Holy Ghost Service

Romans 8 v 31 what shall we then say to these things; If God be for us who can be against us.

When God is on your side, nobody can stop you; sickness cannot stop you, poverty cannot stop you, because Exodus 15 V 26 the great physician Himself said I am the Lord that heals you.

You cannot have God as your doctor and be stuck by sickness. Because If God be for us according to what one of my boys have already spoken; it means the word from the beginning, John 1 v 1 the one who made you John 1 v 3 can repair any part of your body.

Sickness cannot stop you.  And as I have always pointed out; not only can he repair what is wrong with you, He can give you spare part John 9 v 1-7 so if you are sick and the enemy has been telling you this sickness is going to stop you, tell the enemy he is a liar.  Sickness cannot stop you because God is on your side.

The Bible says in 1 Peter 2 v 24 He said by His stripes we were heal, Matthew 8 v 1 – 3 tells us that He can cure the incurable. A leper came to Him, in those days leprosy was an incurable disease but just one touch from the great physician the leper became cleanse.

In Mark 2 v 1 -12 they brought to him a man who was paralyzed from neck downward; just one word from the great physician and he was healed.

When I was preparing my little note for this sermon, I remembered an incident that happened when I was in Ilorin several years ago. There was this brilliant young lawyer, the whole thing started as a joke; he thought it was an ordinary headache but gradually he discovered that he couldn’t use his hands.

After some time he couldn’t use his legs, after some time the only place that remains alive in his body was his head, and everybody was saying they are just waiting for the head to die and they will bury him.

But Jesus took control and what the doctor said we just couldn’t know what to do, they don’t even know where to put injection because every where was dead. The great Physician touched him and healed him.

Whatever it is that is in your system that the enemy has planted there to slow you down or to stop shall be uprooted tonight in Jesus name.

Am sure you many of you will remember the story of one of my sons and I think his brother even shared the testimony sometimes. In 1983, the doctors told the parent in London; you want your boy to see his home country again? They said yes, they said take him home now because he has less than two weeks to live. They brought him, then somebody said take him to the pastors, he will be prayed for and he will be healed. When I saw him; even my faith was shaken. He had cancer of the jaw bone, his head has  become so  swollen that it has block the passage that go down the throat into the belly, it took him one hour to drink a bottle of Fanta because there was no way for the liquid to go down. When I saw him, I knew only God can do this one, that was in 1983. The one they said have two weeks to live is still alive today.

Not only is he alive and well, (because they have given him all sorts of chemotherapy before they finally said we can’t do anything anymore. But one thing is clear, because of the chemotherapy, you can never have a child. Because of the poison that goes with chemotherapy.) Today, he is married, today he has a child.

I am standing on the word of God to say to every fellow here today, it doesn’t matter the nature of sickness or disease, my God will give you victory over that sickness in Jesus name.

If God be for us, no demons can be against. Why because Psalm 24 v 1 said our God is the Lord of host.

I have told you before that when I first read that He is the Lord of all host I thought He is the commander of all the angels, but God opened my eyes to see that He is the Commander in chief of all host; whether those in the earth or underneath the heaven. Because Philippians 2 v 9 -10 tells us that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow; of things in heaven, of things on earth, of things underneath the earth. So all hosts it doesn’t matter which host they are they must obey his voice. Whether the demons are few like just about seven in numbers like  in Luke 8 v 1- 3 the bible told us He cast out seven demons in Mary Magdalene. Even if they are only seven demons, they must obey Him, and if they were a legion as in Mark 5 v 1-15 they must obey Him, just one word and 6000 demons scattered

I stand here today in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and I decree that all the demons in your father’s house, all the demon in your mother’s house, all the demons in your husband’s house, all the demons in your place of work will never be able to stop you in Jesus name.

I have seen God at work and I know if God is on your side, demon can’t stop you.

I think have shared with some of you what happened when I went to Cameroon; earlier this year. We were hurrying to a program in the evening and there was a terrible traffic jam.

We had police escort and everything trying to clear the way for us but the road was so busy that the drivers were not even paying attention to the police and then all of a sudden out of nowhere came this mad man, and I mean he was mad. All you have to do is just a look at him and you will know he was mad. He stood in front of my car and began to clear the way; he will beat the bonnet of your car and motion to you to move and when you see the person asking you to move you will move.

What the police man could not do, this mad man did. Within minute he has cleared the way and as he was clearing the way he was beckoning to my driver to follow, and the driver was following and when he got to the round about where the holdup ended, he came to my side of the car bow down and disappeared.

Those who were in the car with me where dumbfounded, and I said to them “I told you my Father is the Commander in chief of all the hosts”. Let somebody shout hallelujah!

And it is on behalf of my Father, that I am decreeing tonight that every evil force that have been trying to block your way shall be cleared out of the way tonight in Jesus name.

Daddy says there is someone here tonight; He said you will understand, He said before they can stop you, they will have to stop Me first.

The Lord says one day very soon, your sibling will come to you and say change your name to Joseph.

If God be for us; witches, wizard, herbalist, whatever you want to call them they cannot stop you, why? Because Isaiah 54 v 16 tells us God said I am the maker of even those who are called wasters.

He said Herbalist; He said I made them, witches I made them, wizard; I made them. The Bible says by Him were all things made and there was nothing made and there was nothing made that was not made by Him.

So He went on to say in Isaiah 54 v 17, He said therefore there is no weapon formed against you that shall prosper, so let the herbalist go and gather his leaves and gather his roots and combine it together and say by this particular charm I hereby say so and so shall not reach their goal. The Lord will tell the leaves; don’t function. He will tell the earth reduce to nothing. Ask the Elders; ask those who are old enough to tell you, they will tell you that from time to time herbalist will say our leaves had slept in the farm, meaning it have come ineffective. Every charm prepared to stop you shall become ineffective.

Number 23 v 23 says there is no enhancement against Jacob; you can’t begin to chant incantation against the child of God and expect it will work.

I think I remember one occasion when someone says he was in confrontation with secret society and they begin to chant their incantations, he said to them go ahead when you are tired let me know.

Because when incantations get to the real original they begin to go back into history; on a certain day Ogun went somewhere did this. Sango went somewhere did that, he said when they have finished he said I want you to know that in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God and the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory and his glory as of the only begotten son of the father.

Full of grace and truth and that word His name is JESUS and so all your incantations are swallowed by just one name JESUS.

There was a king in Ogun state, some people felt that he has been ruling for too long and that he is a Christian; he has given his life to Jesus Christ, he is calling himself the son of Adeboye. They said the best thing to do is let’s kill him. Now they tried, they went to Cotonou to bring a juju man all the way, to come and do all kind of charms , will kill the man because the cook for the king happen to come from that place, they linked up with him, who went to bring the juju man.

By the time the Juju man tried everything he knew he confessed; Tell that your Oga that the God that he is serving let him keep on serving Him, because He has reduce all my charm to nothing.

Every charm against you shall be neutralized tonight in Jesus name.

I am telling you true story, some of you probably know the king I am talking about. So they said if the Juju will not work, we know what will do the job. We know from our tradition, that this particular King must not see masquerade. So They knew the normal route he will take, they went and arrange for masquerade chanting their incantation and he looked at them and said you are wasting your time because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the World. Is there anybody here who knows that He is living in him/her?

Let me hear you shout halleluiah to the Almighty God.

Daddy says there is someone here tonight He said He is going to give you a complete overhaul.

Daddy says, the changes He promises have already started.

If God is for us, curses, sins, evil covenant cannot stop us, because the bible says in Numbers 23 v 8 it says how can I curse he whom God has not cursed?

Somebody says he is touching his mouth on whatever and pronouncing a curse on you, he is wasting his time. Nobody can curse somebody that God has not cursed and the bible says in Isaiah 28 v 15 – 18, He said any evil covenant entered on your behalf will not stand, He says he will disannul all of them.

Many of us, unknown to us when we were young we were covenanted to one demon or the other.

Many of our parents did it out of ignorant, they did it because if they do that they will be able to protect you from other demons, but the problem there is that many at times when you grow up, you can’t get free.  And what was supposed to be for Good may end up becoming for evil.

I have good news for you; every evil covenant made on your behalf is destroyed tonight in Jesus name.

Some of you may be too young to remember the story of this lady; I was visiting a church in Yaba several years ago. Before then this lady has come to me, she was one of my student at the University of Lagos and said Daddy, I have found a young man who wants to marry me, I said congratulation, she said  No! That is where the problem is. She said because her father told her he has covenanted her to mammy water and that if she ever gets married she will die and if she doesn’t die, on the day of marriage, mammy water will kill the boy. She said this boy has come now, I have a feeling it is the will of God; I don’t want to say yes to him because I don’t want mammy water to kill him. What do I do? And I laughed, I know the One who created mammy water, I know the controller of mammy water and I prayed a simple prayer in the name of Jesus and I said forget mammy water, go ahead.

Two years later I was in a church in Yaba and this young lady came to me carrying a baby in her hand.

She said do you remember me? And I said of course how can I forget a mammy water girl and I said where is your husband and she pointed to a very handsome young man.

Every covenant between you and any mammy water, every covenant between you and any idol, every covenant between you and any secret society, I cancel tonight in Jesus name.

The Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said don’t be afraid, what I started I will finish.

There Lord said I will show your adversaries that you are serving the living God.

Daddy says the same wind that opened a way in the red sea shall blow for someone here tonight.

Matthew 15 v 13, it is written every plant my father has not planted shall be rooted up; every curse shall be rooted up, every covenants shall be rooted up, every evil blockage shall be rooted in Jesus name.

If God be for us, even the devil himself cannot stop us. Revelation 12 v 11 tells us that they overcame by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony. We already have the blood of the lamb, there is power mighty in the blood and I can assure you the devil cannot handle the blood of Jesus. And I can tell you several testimonies.

Maybe I just tell you one of them; a man belong to a secret society and the wife happens to be a Christian and then they discovered that money was missing in the house; the wife’s money was missing the husband’s money was missing, I mean the money just disappearing.

The husband thought it’s the wife stealing the money, and the wife was wondering if you give me money for housekeeping why are you stealing it again.

So one day they confronted each other, because they will put the money where nobody can see it.  And they kept on changing location and the money kept on disappearing.

And the sister came and said, we have a problem in our house, we will deal with it with the Blood of Jesus.  From now henceforth when you want to keep your money, you will say I cover you with the Blood of Jesus. From that day onward not a kobo got missing.

There is a power in the Blood of Jesus Christ that the devil cannot tamper with, and I decree tonight in the name that is above every other name, that Blood will speak for you.

He said they overcame the devil by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimonies.  And am happy that one of the preacher before me said one of the things you must do before you can be unstoppable is that you must be a good witness. You must be a good soul winner.

When you go through the story of Job, you will see all am saying clearly illustrated there, in Job 1 v 8-12, the devil came to God and God said have you seen Job? A wonderful fellow, he loves righteousness he ensued evil, the devil says the reason Job is serving you is because you prospered him and you build a hedge round about him.

I can’t cross that hedge unless you open it, he said give me permission and let me take all he has and he will curse you. God said go ahead but I draw a line, don’t touch his life. You know the rest of the story. Job said no problem I hope God knows what He is doing.

And the devil came back and the Lord said you see…. The devil says make him sick, God said go ahead but don’t kill him. The devil takes final instruction from God. Somebody says God allows the devil to that to Job, how am I sure. … Job was a servant of God, I am not a servant I am a SON!. You can perform experiment with servant; you don’t perform experiment with son.

I remembered years ago when there were thieves in where we were living, we went and hired servants/guards. Our children we kept in the inner room. The word of God says He will keep me in His pavilion; He will hide me until all the problems are over. If you are thinking that God is going to give the devil permission to torment you, think again. If you are His own child, He calls you the apple of His eyes.

He is not going to allow the devil to tamper with the apples of His eye, but the most important point is this all the time that all these things were happening, the reason why Job was able to overcome finally is found in Job 19 v 25 he said it doesn’t matter what is happening, I know my Redeemer lives.

The devil cannot stop a witness; somebody who goes around witnessing.  Anyone who goes around witnessing, telling everyone Jesus saves, Jesus heals, Jesus provides, Jesus delivers, I can guarantee you; it doesn’t matter if all the host in heaven, on earth and in hell gathered up against him, he will overcome.

He said it clearly in John 15 v 16, He said if you go and witness and the soul abide, He said if you ask anything in His name and it will be done for you. Anything includes being unstoppable.

I have Good news for those of you who are witnesses nothing will stop you in Jesus name.

Now If God be for us who can be against us? I preached a sermon on this topic several years ago, and God showed me something. ,,

The Lord says there is someone here, He asked me to tell you that I will advertise you.

He says there is someone here tonight; He said in the past when situations looked hopeless you won, He asked me to assure you that you will win again.

I preached a sermon on if God be for us who can be against us, because God showed me something. Each time I say if God for us who can be against us? Everybody will say nobody.

And the Lord says read the bible, if God be for us who can be for us? The only thing there is question mark. Nobody was not written at the back of it, the reason why the question mark was there is that God is saying answer the question by yourself.  We would love to say nobody but the answer is not nobody, if God be for you only one person can be against you and that is yourself. If you fail to learn from history, if you fail to learn from those who have gone before you, God can be for you and you can stop yourself.

And like I was sharing with my children the youth yesterday night; In Joshua 1 v 1 – 9 the Almighty God told Joshua, He said listen where Moses failed you will succeed, He said you are the one who will divide the land to them.

Moses couldn’t get to the promise land he failed, you will get to the promise land, you will divide the land to the people. He said every where the soul of your feet touched, I have given it to you.

He said all you need to do is work on it and it’s yours, he said no man will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. He said only be strong and of all good courage. Fantastic promises!

Of course Joshua was happy and he began to go from one victory to another, from one victory to another, in fact when he came across the wall of Jericho one shout alone brought down the wall.

Then came Joshua 7 and the people of Jericho by just shouting came against a small town and they were defeated, the people of Ai pursued them and killed many of them.

So Joshua went back to God and said you told me nobody will be able to stand before me all the days of my life, all the days that is what you said. God said yes I remembered and He said because sin has entered. Some of your people have stolen what I said they shouldn’t steal. And they are keeping it in their possession and God said I am not going with you anymore unless and until that which is not yours which is pout among your stuff is removed.

Its there in Joshua 7. The reason many people get into trouble in the past is that they read one aspect of the word of God and they ignore the other. They claim the beautiful promises of God and they ignore the conditions, you cannot continue in sin and expect grace to abide. The bible says God forbid.

Some of us think there are parts of the bible we can treat lightly. Beautiful ones their we love to quote; I shall be head and not tail, I shall be above only and not beneath when the enemy comes against me in one way they shall flee in seven ways, I shall live I shall not die. No weapon fashioned against me shall prosper, all these are true but they are subject to certain conditions.

Somebody once asked me, he said sir, how come you find it so easy to do the will of God? I said probably because God trained me as a mathematician for twenty seven years before bringing me into the ministry, because if there is anything that the mathematician knows, it is that if the conditions are meant, the formula will work. If all the conditions are not there, forget it.

I don’t want to come here and teach you mathematics but those of you who are youth you will understand this one if the elders don’t; in a right angle triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides. Is that correct!

If the angle is right, if it is a right angle triangle, whether in the moon or underneath the sea, the formula holds. But if the angle is 90.001 degrees the formula breaks down, if the angle is 89.9999 degrees, the formula breaks down. The angle must be 90.

You want to be unstoppable and you are mixing the things of God with your own, you are eating His tithe, you are denying Him of His first fruit, you are denying Him of His offerings.

Or when you give the offerings, you are not giving Him cheerfully. Conditions must be perfectly fulfilled. I am a soul winner, you win soul but you don’t follow them up. You are to win soul and make sure that the souls abide.

Do you know as a result of what you are hearing tonight, your promotion is going to be accelerated, you will realized that you are your own enemy, because if you are not stopping yourself nobody else is going to stop you.

Nobody! No witch, no wizard, none, nowhere that can stop you, and I am saying it in public and I know there are one or two of them present in the congregation tonight. I know they can’t stop me because by the grace of God there is no quarrel between my Daddy and I.

I remembered one television program watched in London, several years ago, and they were talking about witches and wizard and one white man was speaking loudly; there is nothing like witches, it is psychological. The other white man who had been in Nigeria said I thank God you are not saying this in Nigeria, because they will have shown you before tomorrow morning.

I know they are there, I know they are watching the television I know they are listening on the internet but they know too that when God is on your side, if you don’t stop yourself, power passes power.

Let me hear somebody shout halleluiah!

We are not denying the fact that devil can perform magic, the priests of Pharaoh threw down their rods but one serpent swallowed up another serpent.

Every serpent arrayed against you shall be swallowed by the serpent of Jesus.

Only you can stop yourself if you are not obeying God, completely, if you are living a life of sin and think you can presume on God and begin to quote the bible, it doesn’t work that way.

You remembered those sons of Scavas in Act 3v13-18; they have seen God performing miracles by the hand of Paul, the handkerchief of Paul was casting out demons.

They say well we know what to do; all we need to do is to go and say in the name of Jesus. They got there and say to the madman, we conjure you in the name o f Jesus that Paul preaches, come out of him. And the devil answered and said, Jesus I know, Paul I know, he said but who are you?

I remembered some years ago, we went to cast a demon out of one fellow.

As soon as we entered, the demon in the fellow began to laugh he said Adeboye I can understand your case, you want to talk home, we shall see.

He said but look at this fellow; he had sex with another man’s wife last night and he wants to cast me out. I was embarrassed, I told the fellow you better run because by the time we say demon come out, he will say no problem, I will come out of this one and just into the other one.

I want to appeal to you tonight, brethren, let’s make a new resolution. We will serve God 100% if we reach that decision, nothing will stop us from now on.

But if you are not going to serve Him 100%, go all the way with the devil. Let the devil treat you as well as well he can here on earth. Give you wealth, give you this, and give you that. Prepare you as a ram for the slaughter.

But don’t put one leg in the world and put one leg in God. God said in Revelation 3v 15-16, He said if you want to be cold, be cold, and if you want to be hot, be hot. But if you are lukewarm, He said I will spill you out of his mouth.

Judges 15 v 18-21 the bible said Samson said I will get up as before, I will go out as before.

The Bible said he didn’t know God has departed from him. You cannot disobey God and expect Him to support you. Tonight, many of you may say but I have this problem, I have prayed but I have not received reply. Ask yourself, in what areas am I still disobeying God?

Put your ways right and you are back in business. When Joshua heard that there is something in the camp that should not be there, he said God what do you want me to do? God said you remove it and I will go along with you. And they located the man who stole God’s money, who stole God’s raiment and they brought him out with his family wiped them out of the camp and the Almighty God said now those people who thought they defeated you let’s go and wipe out those who thought they have defeated you.

Do you know if you restituted your way, everything you have lost, you will regain? Half a word is enough for the wise!

If there is anyone here tonight and you have not given his life to Jesus, you are not yet cover in that precious Blood of the Lamb. Come and give your life to Jesus now, even if it’s only because of the victory that you will get, because you are a child of God that should be enough for you to surrender your life to Jesus Christ.

Come, let Him wash away your sins with His blood; let Him save your soul. Once you are a child of the living God. Let Him forgive you your sins. You will soon be become the child of God, if God is for you; no weapon, no demon, no witch, no wizard, no herbalist, no charm, no curse, no curses, no evil covenant will be able to stop you. So if you want to give your life to Jesus come now…

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Saviour I thank You for Your word and I thank You for these people who have come forward to surrender their lives to You.

Father! You promised that whosoever come to You, You will in not cast out, they have come to You now, Father please receive them in Jesus name, be merciful unto them in Jesus name, and cleanse them in Your blood in Jesus Name. Save their souls and write their names in the book of life in Jesus name, don’t let them ever go back into the world in Jesus name and from now on anytime they call on You, answer them by fire in Jesus name.

Make them unstoppable in Jesus name. Thank you Almighty God in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Praised the Lord!

I want to rejoice with those of you who have given your life to Jesus Christ now, because from now on, I am going to be praying for you. So I am going to need your name, your address, your prayer request, so that I can be praying for you. www.rccgcamp7.org I guarantee you very soon you will be receiving miracles then you will know somebody somewhere is there praying for you. And that somebody is going to be me.

TONIGHT PRAYER POINTS:

  1. Praise God for being here tonight, praise Him for the word.
  2. Father, give me grace to stop being my own enemy and obey you completely.
  3. Father, let your blood speak for me against all satanic host.

Psalm 90. The Eternity Of God And Man’s Frailty

A Prayer of Moses the man of God

1 LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. 4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. 5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. 6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. 8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. 9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. 10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. 13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. 14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. 16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. 17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Psalm 89. A Hymn In Times Of National Trouble

Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite

1 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. 6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? 7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. 8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? 9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. 10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. 11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. 12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. 13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. 14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. 16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. 18 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. 20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: 21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. 22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. 24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. 25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. 28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. 29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; 31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; 32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. 34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. 36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. 37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. 39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. 40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. 41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. 42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. 44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. 45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. 46 How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? 47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? 48 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. 49 Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? 50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; 51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. 52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Psalm 88. A Prayer For Help In Despondency. A Cry For Help

A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite

1 O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: 2 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; 3 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. 4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: 5 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. 6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. 7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. 8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. 9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

10 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. 11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? 12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. 14 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? 15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. 16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. 17 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together. 18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. 5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. 6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. 7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

Psalm 86. A Prayer For Help. A Prayer For Mercy, With Meditation On The Excellencies Of The LORD

A Prayer of David

1 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. 2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. 3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. 4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. 5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. 6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. 7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. 9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. 10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. 11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. 12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. 13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. 14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. 15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. 16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. 17 Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Psalm 85. Prayer That The LORD Will Restore Favour To The Land. A Prayer For The Nation’s Welfare

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah

1 LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. 2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. 3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. 4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. 5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? 6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? 7 Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. 9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. 10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. 12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. 13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!
