Pastor E. A. Adeboye at RCCG March Special Holy Ghost Service. God Bless You (Part 3) ‘I Will Lift Up My Eyes’
Psalm 121:1-2
Those who are wondering why something that started 35 years ago is growing bigger and bigger? It is God. The reason for the Holy Ghost Service is that we come, pray and God will answer. I am thanking God in advance for you that your prayers will be answered.
35 is a very interesting number, it is 5 times 7, 5 is the number for grace and 7 is the number for perfection. So this is grace times perfection. Grace because today God is going to focus His attention on you.
John 5:2-9
If God is going to pay attention to just one person today, who will that fellow be ?
7 is the number for perfection and it means that by the time God finishes with you today, two things will happen.
- God will look at you and say very good.
Genesis 1:31 - God will say excellent.
Genesis 2:1-3
I am believing God for someone today that after this Holy Ghost Service, for the rest of your life you will have nothing else to do other than to thank God because He will do excellently for you.
We started the series God Bless You by defining God. Today, we will take a look at God from what He calls Himself.
Genesis 17:1, Jehovah El-Shaddai He is the God who is more than enough.
In Exodus 3:13-14, He introduces Himself as I Am That I Am.
My prayer for everyone of you is that the all sufficient God will prove Himself in your life today.
We defined Bless meaning the Almighty God is summoning all His sources to assist you to reach your goal.
Who is the You in God Bless You? It’s an individual in need of help.
Psalm 121:1-2
John 5:2-9, not every sick person wants to be well. Not everyone wants to be free.
John 3:19
I pray today that if there is anyone tormenting you, who does not want you to be free, the Almighty God will deal with that fellow today.
Psalm 46:1
2 Kings 1:1-17
Seeking true help.
This program is for those who want help from the true help.
Thank God I have found the helper of the helpless, His name is Jesus.
The fellow who will be blessed today must be somebody who will make determined efforts to get that help. David said I will lift up my eyes not may I lift up my eyes.
Psalm 108:1, David was determined. The one who will get help must be someone who will ask and keep asking
Matthew 7:7-8
John 16:25
Hebrews 11:6
Luke 18:1-8
God has no time for those who pray casually.
Revelation 3:15-16
God prefers those who are violently diligent.
Mark 2:1-12
God is the Almighty, He speaks to His prophets. May I pray for someone today, that rugged determination of God, to say I will not let you go, He will give to you.
We all know that needs differ, the problem of one is not necessary the problem of the other.
- Namaan in 2 Kings 5:1-14, Was not in need of money or success, he needed healing.
- The Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4:8-17 needed no financial breakthrough, she wasn’t sick but she was barren. The Shunammite woman used what she had to get what she wanted violently.
Today, I am rejoicing with you in advance because you will not be crying to God alone. Everyone listening to me is going to join you in crying to God.
Matthew 18:19-20
Everyone needs some form of help, you may be determined, but you need help. Namaan needed help in 2 Kings 5:1-14 and help came from a house maid who told him where help can be obtained. You need help and that help will come to you today.
- Are you sick ? Do you need physical help? Do you want to be made whole? Lift up your eyes there is someone called ‘I Am the Lord that healeth you’.
Exodus 15:26
Mark 5:25-34, The woman with the issue of blood has had doctors but when she heard that the Great physician was around, she pushed her way. - Are you in bondage? Have you sensed certain evil forces seeking your progress ? Seek the Lord of Hosts.
Psalm 24:7-10
In Matthew 15:21-28, The woman kept disturbing until the Lord answered her.
Some people will say God knows I need help, I don’t need to pray. Today is not a day for joking, I beg you.
- Are you in need of help? Are you in need of a financial breakthrough? Cry unto the All- sufficient God. Genesis 17:1,
2 Kings 4:1-7, do is violently. - Are you in marital need, look up to the one called the Fruitful Vine. John 15:1-5
He can resurrect dead wombs. You have to seek Him diligently.
In 1 Samuel 1:9-20, Hannah prayed so much that the priest thought she was drunk. - Are you in spiritual need? Are you in need of power? Look up to the One who is the source of power.
Psalm 62:11
2 Kings 2:1-15
Go to God today with everything in your being. Pray and seek Him like you have never done before.
Proverbs 11:21, The whole world will be joining you in prayer today, but if you are a sinner, you will be wasting your time. If you are listening to me and you have not yet surrendered to the Lord Jesus Christ, come to Him now!
Pray that the Lord will remove every sin from you. If you have given your life to Christ, intercede for them and if you have backslided, pray that He will have mercy on you.
