-Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo at Morning Glow, KICC on ‘DIVINE ENCOURAGEMENT’ (Part 5)
Praise the Lord!
This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Welcome to Morning Glow. I trust the Lord to bless you, to impart you and to minister to you this morning and your life will never be the same.
Lord we give glory, praise, honour and adoration to You. Heavenly Father, we celebrate Your faithfulness; Your faithfulness endures to the Heavens. You are a faithful God; faithful to keep that which is Yours, faithful to save, to deliver, to protect, faithful to keep Your word. We thank You because of Your faithfulness, we are here today, we can see Your glory, we can see Your hand in our lives. We celebrate, we rejoice, we are grateful, we thank You. Not because of our goodness but according to Your mercy, You kept us. We are covered by Your righteousness, protected by Your holiness, kept in Your goodness. Lord, bless us this morning. Let Your name be glorified, in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Today, we will continue the prophetic word on encouragement. You need to know that God wants you to be encouraged, to stay strong, to keep your eyes on the Lord. Church Gist. God wants you to know that in the midst of all the battles of life, you are justified by faith. It is faith that justifies you and God upholds you by His word and no weapon formed against you will prosper, every mouth that rises against you in judgement shall be condemned.
- You need to know that God is your strength in all circumstances, always encourage yourself by that. Number one, you are justified by faith, do not forget that. We have a situation in the body of Christ where you find out that, some people just feel that salvation is not enough; they have to do it themselves, they have to work it themselves. Somebody sent me a link of somebody preaching on being born again. I just felt the lady could create a problem by what she was preaching. She preached the receiving of Christ in such a way that she said that; some of you, your names are just written down for trial, probably to see if you are really saved or not. A baby is either not born or born. Let’s not preach the Gospel that make people feel that, until they do some works, they are not born again. They may have carnal lives, issues with their lives, lust in their lives and God is working on that but a person is born again by the finished work of Jesus Christ. Being born again is of eternal consequence. So when you receive Christ as your Lord and Saviour, then God will begin to work on your heart; changing your heart. But let’s not make salvation a matter of work (Ephesians 2:8).
We are justified by faith. Justified also means that the day God forgives your sin and Jesus comes into your heart, the word ‘just-if-ied’, it means ‘just as if I did not do anything’. Because Jesus took my place, He took my sin. Praise God.
- Be encouraged by the fact that God is your strength in all circumstances (Philippians 4:11-13).
- Never grow weary of doing good. Never grow weary in blessing people, in touching lives because whatsoever a man sows, that he will reap.
- Always remember that you have a helper who is here to help you and that is the Holy Spirit. He is here to encourage you, to strengthen you, to help you in your prayer, to help you in your walk with God, to help you in your understanding of God, to help you in the leading of God, to help you in the Word of God (John 14:25-27). Church Gist. The Holy Spirit is a discerner of the hearts of men, so He can discern situations. He speaks, the Holy Spirit guides. So, we need His presence and His power in our lives constantly.
- In the mighty name of Jesus, you will not be put to shame.
- Encourage yourself always that you have faith in His refuge over your life. You have put your trust in His refuge, in His protection, in His provision, in His strength, in His ability to take care of you (Psalm 27:1).
There is a lorryload of encouragement words in the Bible. The Bible says in Psalm 46:1-3, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the time of trouble.
- Trust in the Lord. Put your trust in God, you are not alone. “Anyone who messes with me, they are messing with my Father, God, Jehovah” (Proverbs 3:5-8).
Father, we give You praise. We thank You this morning, we rejoice in Your faithfulness and Your goodness which extends to the heavens. Church Gist. Your faithfulness is forever, Your goodness is forever, Your greatness is forever. We celebrate You, we praise You, we magnify You, we love You our Father God. We thank You our Father God. We bless You because no one who put his trust in You is ever put to shame.
Thank You for another day in Your presence. Thank You for making our eyes to see a brand-new day, a brand-new week and today, as we come towards the end of the week, we celebrate You for all that You have done; for the favours, for the blessings, for the outstretching of Your hand, for the proving of Yourself as God. You are God from beginning to the end, there is no place for argument. Take the glory, honour and adoration this morning. Heavenly Father, we bless You this morning, we give glory to Your name, in the name of Jesus.
Also, Lord we thank You for answers to prayers. Thank You for hearing us; thank You for answers, thank You for deliverance, thank You for victory, thank You for pulling us out of darkness into Your marvelous light. Thank You for bringing us into Your purpose, into Your blessing, into Your joy. We thank You for all that You’ve done for us, take the glory, praise, honour and adoration. We celebrate Your faithfulness forever and ever and ever, in Jesus’ name.
Psalm 121:1-8
- Lord, we magnify and celebrate You. The God of a thousand hills, the God of a million rivers, the God who speaks, we thank You. We lift our eyes to You today, we thank You because help is coming for somebody at this platform. Your word cannot lie.
Lord I pray for people who need help this morning; in every area of their lives, Lord, rise and help. Their foot will not be moved, the enemy will not have the final say, circumstances will not overwhelm them. I pray for you today that the Lord will keep you when others are weary. I declare and decree this day that help will rise for you.
I pray for somebody at the altar today, God will keep you, God will protect you. Every arrow that is targeted at you shall not work. The sun will not smite you, the moon will not see you to hurt you in the name of Jesus. God will be your Keeper, He will be your shield. Anywhere, whatever, whoever; who have chosen not to like you, who have chosen to attack your life, their arrows will not work, their words will not stand. God rises on your behalf. I pour the oil of encouragement upon you today, to know that God takes on your battle, He wins for you in Jesus’ name.
Psalm 121:8
- God will preserve you. Darkness will not be able to have power over you. I declare this morning; arrows of darkness will not prosper.
Psalm 34:10
- We declare and decree, help rises for your children this morning. You will not lack any good thing, that is the Word of the Lord. I call in provision from the east, west, north and south; God supplies all your needs according to His riches in glory. The God of surprises wipes your tears in this season and prove Himself as a mighty Provider.
Psalm 28:7, Psalm 20
- May the Lord help you in the mighty name of Jesus. God will rise, He will help you. God will hear your petition; He will decide on your behalf.
Isaiah 26:3-4
- I speak into your life, the peace that passes understanding, keeps your heart, keeps your mind, keeps your body, keeps you in strength and victory in the name of Jesus. May the peace of God be your source of strength. This weekend shall be a weekend of uncommon peace and tranquility of the Spirit. As you rest on the Lord, you will not be put to shame in the name of Jesus.
Matthew 11:28
- May the rest, the tranquility of Jesus be your portion in this season of your life. May you find true rest, true peace in Jesus’ name.
Psalm 46:11
- May the peace that passes understanding garrison your heart, protect your spirit, keep you from falling, powerfully protect your spirit man in the name of Jesus. Joy will be your portion; victory will be your portion in the mighty name of Jesus. You will have testimony, glory, victory, power, you will not be put to shame, rather you will have the reason to magnify the Lord because God is good.
- I pray for you that the peace of God will be your source of strength. This weekend shall be a weekend of uncommon peace for you and your household in Jesus’ name.
COMMUNION:
Get your bread and wine ready this morning. We are going to have a communion and it is going to be a communion of power, victory and the blood of Jesus. The Word of the Lord will touch your life as you partake in this communion today. Listen, this is to seal our covenant with the Father, to seal our healing, our deliverance. Every time you partake in communion, you seal your victory, your silence hell, you shut the mouth of devil, you walk into total victory. Every time you partake in communion, you are saying, I and Jesus, we are one. For anything to pick on me, it will have to pick on Jesus. Since it cannot overcome Jesus, it cannot overcome me.
“For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me”.
- Father bless this bread, let it be that body that bore our sins, our burdens, our pain. As Your people eat today, we shift our burdens on You, who died for us. Total victory in Jesus’ name.
“After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup”.
-Father bless this cup. We plead the blood of Jesus this morning against every cohort of hell, against every weapon of darkness, against every lie of satan. We plead the blood of Jesus against every arrow targeted at us, no weapon formed against us prospers, every mouth that rises against us in judgement is condemned. As Your take today, let it repair, let it heal, let it deliver. Let cancer die, let sicknesses die, let blood pressure go down. Let peace be their portion in Jesus’ name.
Lord, let the Word which we have declared concerning Your people’s healing and peace and joy through the blood, stand in the name of Jesus. Everything in the deepest depth where you cannot reach, the blood of Jesus will get there on your behalf. This day I declare into your life that God gives you strength, grace, power, victory and God gives you testimony in the name of Jesus. Psalm 34:4 – this will be your story, this will be your testimony. May the Lord deliver you from all you fears. May you have testimony in the mighty name of Jesus. May all that we have bound at this altar be bound, that which we have loosed to be loosed, that which we have declared to come to pass. Your eyes to see them, your mouth to testify, your hands to handle the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living; for you to truly be the evidence of what God can do in this season in the mighty name of Jesus.
