THE POWER OF PRAYER AND PRAISE 2

Image
THE POWER OF PRAYER AND PRAISE 2 MEMORY VERSE: - Acts 16:25 - "And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them" Wherefore, verse 26 of our text made us understand that when Paul and Silas prayed and praised God, He came through for them. "And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken." It didn't take long, their God arose in His power and sent an earthquake to the prison that shook it to its foundation.  You may recall that the jailer having received a strict command, threw them into the innermost prison which is the dungeon or in today's terms, the maximum security cell and clamped down their legs with irons. He did it so that by no means would they be able to escape.  But our Most High God, the Almighty God, the God whose name is Jahovah, the God who chooses to become whatever He wants to become for the sake of His children came in His power into the prison as an

  THE POWER OF PRAYER AND PRAISE MEMORY VERSE: - Acts 16:25 - "And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them" Paul and Silas were on their way to prayer, when they encountered a fortune telling girl. The spirit inside the girl knew the truth about God’s power, and she followed them for days saying the same thing over and over. Eventually, Paul sensed that the spirit in her is not right thus, he cast the spirit out of her. This made her masters angry and they came after Paul and Silas and locked them up in the prison. Now, in the midst of their challenge, Paul and Silas did not murmur against God neither did they complain nor feel bad about their situation. Rather, they turn to God in prayer mixed with praise. While some believers would have felt bad and abandoned by God for not coming in His power to save them immediately but instead He allowed the matter to escalate to the point of them being taken to prison. I tell you that m

GOD OF VENGEANCE

Image
  GOD OF VENGEANCE MEMORY VERSE: - Numbers 35:19 - "The avenger of blood himself shall put the murderer to death; when he meets him, he shall put him to death." Our God is a vengeance God, He avenges for His children of their enemies. It's good to want justice, however, you should not try to go physically to get it for yourself. Because when you try to get it for yourself, you will miss it and you will be putting yourself in God's place. For the Scriptures say: “Vengeance is mine, and I will repay,” says the Lord. (Romans 12:19). Now, Romans 12:19 told us, “Never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay,' says the Lord” (ESV). Truly, our God will bring the evil of the wicked upon them when you let him and cry out to him to avenge you of your adversaries. The truth is that until the God of vengeance shows up the enemy will not leave one alone. They will continue to resist you from excelling and r

THE GLORIFIED LIFE

  THE GLORIFIED LIFE MEMORY VERSE: - John 20:19-20 - "The disciples were afraid of the Jewish leaders, and on the evening of that same Sunday they locked themselves in a room. Suddenly, Jesus appeared in the middle of the group. He greeted them [20] and showed them his hands and his side. When the disciples saw the Lord, they became very happy. (CEV)." When Jesus rose from death He was no longer functioning in the same way He was before His death.... He was no longer the one whom they wanted to beat, who they wanted to kill, who they wanted to stone to death, the one they reproach, and spat on, but the Christ of Glory and honor  Due to the dimension of Jesus glorified body, He was no longer operating in the same way He operated before His death because He has been glorified, He has been instated in the glory he was looking forward to when he endured the pains of the cross. This risen Christ was a different person, risen in glory and power. His dimension has changed, He could

THROWING OFF THE OUTER GARMENT

THROWING OFF THE OUTER GARMENT MEMORY VERSE: - Mark 10:49-50 - "And Jesus stopped and said, Call him. And they called the blind man, telling him, Take courage! Get up! He is calling you. [50] And throwing off his outer garment, he leaped up and came to Jesus." (AMPC) There are things in one's life that are not necessarily needed for the next level God is taking him or her to. Things that will become a huge distraction, things that can slow down your speed in life, things that can hinder you from reaching your goal. Those things must be cast away. Blind Bartimaeus for many years of his blindness was wearing a particular garment that has become a part of his blindness story and an identity for him. But when he heard about Jesus passing by, he cried out for help. He was tired of being blind and was desperate for a new life of having his sights back. And whatever that will slow him down or would be a hindrance to his going to receive his miracle must be cast off. Therefore,

LIVING IN THE FULLNESS OF GOD'S BLESSINGS

LIVING IN THE FULLNESS OF GOD'S BLESSINGS MEMORY VERSE: - Romans 15:29 - "I am sure that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ" Living in the fullness of God's blessings is living a life without limitation. It is to be living in a life filled with the blessings of God that brings you the fullness of joy. Jesus in the book of John 16:24 told us "Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full." Every time you experience a new dimension of God's blessings, it gives you a new lease of joy, an increase of faith in God, a new enthusiasm for kingdom work and a new dimension of relationship with God. So, Paul wrote to these believers in Rome telling them he has no doubt that when he meets with them, it will be in the full measure of Christ's blessing. Not partial, not average nor part of God's blessings but in all its fullness and richness. This is the perfect will of God for all His children, not

DESTROYING THE COVERING CAST 3

DESTROYING THE COVERING CAST 3 MEMORY VERSE: - Isaiah 25: 7 - "And He will destroy on this mountain the surface of the covering cast over all people and the veil that is spread over all nations.” In 2 Kings 2:19, we read about the land of Jericho and its inhabitants, it says, "One day the leaders of the town of Jericho visited Elisha. "We have a problem, my lord," they told him. "This town is located in pleasant surroundings, as you can see. But the water is bad, and the land is unproductive." Why was their land unproductive? Because of the pronouncement on it by Joshua. After the Lord God gave the city of Jericho into the hands of Joshua and the people of Israel, Joshua pronounced a curse on the city: (See Joshua 6:16 –19). Remember a curse brings about covering and when there is a covering in a family no matter how well such a family is situated, they will be unproductive, they will be operating in struggle and will be frustrated in every effort. And e
