We will like to welcome people who are joining us from the various parts of the world, wherever you are and you have joined, may you be blessed and highly favoured.
Praise God!
Yesterday we started praying and coming against all kinds of afflictions. The Bible says: many are the afflictions of the Righteous but the Lord delivers him from all of them. Affliction is a terrible experience. When it comes, it holds you in one place, it humiliates, it gives pain and trouble. This morning I want to particularly pray against the affliction of delay. Delay in your breakthrough, delay in your finances, delay in your business, delay in your meeting the right person for marriage, delay in some of the things you are trusting God for.
The story of the man that really captures delay until the man’s season comes is the man by the pool of Bethesda in John 5:2-9. From the story of this man, we can see that he has been on the same spot for 38 years. If this man lived for 70 years it means that more than half of his years were wasted on one spot. The delay in his life was unbelievable. People looked down at him, the delay was such that people gave him name because he was there all the time. They probably made him the head of distributing food to those who are there but one day, his season came and the delay was over.
This morning I am confident that somebody’s time has come. You heard other people’s testimony, you are the next on the line for a miracle in Jesus name.
The affliction of delay is a terrible thing and the affliction of delay is even worse when you are one of those who pray for others to get their miracle and yours is delayed. The mystery of it just makes you wonder what did I do wrong? This morning the Lord is going to order your steps in Jesus name.
I believe that today is someone’s day of freedom – Leviticus 25:10-11. When delay happened is like your life has ended, I believe that God is going to turn someone’s delay around in Jesus name.
Bethesda by the Sheep gates, a place of five porches. Bethesda means the house of mercy. The man was in the place of mercy for 38 years but no mercy. He was by the Sheep gates, sheep is symbolic of salvation and yet he was not saved. He was at the place of five porches, that is grace. So, Grace, Mercy and Salvation were present and yet the man did not have breakthrough. I pray for someone this morning, you are the next on line!
Lamentation 3:22-23
In the place where this man was, the blind has to perceive what God was saying and jump into the water but this morning you are already inside the water and healing is going to take place in the name of Jesus.
When you face health challenges, accident, a sudden disaster, people rally, they cared for one week, two weeks, three weeks. After three weeks, the crowd begin to dwindle, if you see anyone six months then they must be unusually devoted to you. If anybody is there for you for one year, haaaaa, they must love you. Job didn’t take that long when his wife and his friends left him.
This man was dropped and left alone. No man wanted to help him. Jesus said will you be made whole? The man said I have no one. No parental help, no family help, no one was there for him. I am sure this man survived on the Jewish culture of taking care of the poor in the book of Leviticus. He had to live on the handouts of other people. God will change and turn your story around, he will wipe that shame and wipe that pain and change your story in Jesus name.
This morning you have come to a bigger pool, a greater pool, living waters. John 3:5, Jesus is the water that quenches our thirst. John 4, Jesus is the well that we drink from. John 7, Jesus is the river of living waters. You have come not just to the well, you have come to the River himself that flows and quenches thirst. As you jump into it this morning there is deliverance for you. Every delay is turning around to a testimony, every delay is turning around to glory, to favour, everything that have delayed, I bring the power of God against it this morning, let there be a turnaround before the end of the day and before the end of this week receive your favour in the name of Jesus. You will not be frustrated at this river in Jesus name.
Something better came to the scenario, not an angel but Jesus himself. Glory be to God! Jesus Himself! Jesus touched him! This morning I released an auction across the globe for instant breakthrough in the name of Jesus.
Another delay was the woman who was bent over for 18 years, 18 years. Luke 13:11-13. I pray for you for an uncommon testimony in the name of Jesus. Let your tears be wiped and let your mouth be filled with joy and celebration in the name of Jesus. You will testify, you have not been forgotten! Take your bed from this morning, move a new move, take a new step, do a new thing, every delay is turning into glory and testimony in the name that is above all names.
- Isaiah 22:25
Everyone pegged down somewhere, delayed in any matter, I command a divine turnaround today in the name of Jesus
I come against every wicked embargos of delay by the blood of the Lamb in the name of Jesus. - There is terrible limitation that comes by the affliction of delay. Everyone who have experienced terrible limitation, receive your favour in the name of Jesus.
- There is the delay of affliction causing disappointment. I come against the Spirit of disappointment and I speak an uncommon turnaround in the name of Jesus. Every disappointment turns to God’s appointment in the name of Jesus name.
- There are programmed losses. You work, work, work and loss. This day I decree and declare into your life by the testimony of Jesus Christ, let there be a turnaround in the name of Jesus.
- There is the ‘almost getting there’ syndrome. Almost getting there but not getting there. The devil is a liar! I speak favour and divine turnaround in Jesus name. God lifts you, God stretches your hand, God proves himself mighty in your life in the name of Jesus. Delays are removed from your journey, you will get there in the name of Jesus.
- There is the failure at the edge of success delay. This morning, every failure at the edge of success, by the blood of the Lamb I release grace of finishing upon you in the name of Jesus.
- There is the delay of waiting for too long on a matter. I bring an end to that delay and I command speed in the name of Jesus.
- There is the delay that causes stagnation. For someone who is feeling I have been left alone, I have been abandoned, you are the next on line! It’s your turn for a miracle!
