GOD COMES IN THE MIDST OF MULTITUDES TO LOOK FOR A MAN
REVIVAL IS NOT A GENDER THING!
IT IS A DESIRE THING!
IN THE DAYS OF DAVID AND DEBORAH, WHILE OTHERS WERE LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY STOOD UP WITHOUT LOOKING AT OTHERS.
MAY WE BE DELIVERED FROM PLASTIC CHRISTIANITY AND SHALLOW ENCOUNTERS!
THERE ARE MANY CONTAMINATED WATERS IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT, POLLUTED WATERS IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT, TOXIC WATERS…
BUT THERE IS THE LIVING WATER, LET IT FLOW.
YOU CANNOT BE FLESHLY CONSUMED AND EXPECT THE POWER OF GOD TO FLOW THROUGH YOU.
YOU CANNOT BE FLESHLY CONSUMED AND EXPECT TO CAST OUT devils AND THEY WILL OBEY YOU.
SAY, GOD DELIVER ME FROM LETHARGIC, DRY, GLOOMY, MOODY CHRISTIANITY
WHENEVER BELIEVERS BECOME LUKEWARM, IT IS A CLEAR SIGN THAT THEY HAVE LOST TRUE ENCOUNTERS WITH GOD
HOW CAN I BE A CARRIER OF RIVERS AND BE LOOKING FOR A CUP OF WATER?
LORD, BURST MY BODY, BURST MY NATURE!
BREAK AND BURST ANYTHING HOLDING BACK THE FRAGRANCE OF GOD IN ME!!
-Reverend Godwin I Abba at the PRE-CONVENTION SERVICE at Word Alive Centre Int’l, Abuja || 1st Service ||27th November, 2022
Nothing is as frustrating as being in church and not in touch with the God of the church. Unfortunately, this is the position of the church across the globe. We are in church, present in church, but never in touch with the owner of the church. More carried away by self impression and God is wondering, why did they come? Church Gist. If they’re not here for me to touch them, why are they here in the first place?
I have my message prepared here, I have my message already, but I don’t know why God is leading us in this direction. Heavy message, loadedly prepared!
Ezekiel 22:30. I was in Uyo, in my friend’s church, my Covenant brother’s church to preach. I preached in the subject – The Anointing of One. The power of One. Very powerful message. Never preached it anywhere, not even in this church.
God will always come in the midst of multitudes, in the midst of millions looking for only one man. Church Gist. In the days that Goliath confronted the armies of Israel, everyone went into hiding. Until David showed up. While everybody was looking at anybody or somebody that will go. Church Gist. Until one person showed up.
In the days of Deborah, even the men went into hiding! God sought for a man – no man! Until Deborah arose! I, Deborah, arose in Israel!
So, revival is not a gender thing! It is a desire thing – whether male or female. It’s not a gender thing, I’m a man or oh I’m a woman, it is a desire thing!
One man! One man! One man! That can run through the city and turn the city inside out! That will tell the devil in that family, Enough is enough. One woman, whose voice will roar like a tornado! Throughout the land! And say no more shall children be uprooted from here!
The Bible said, I Deborah, I arose.
David said, Is there not a God… One man, one man, one man!
While others looked for somebody, somebody stood up without looking at others.
-Father, use me in this church and for this church. In this kingdom and for this kingdom, use me!
If this is why we are here today, no problem.
Lift up your voice, let God hear your voice. For yourself, for your family, for your generation.
We have been lackadaisical enough, we have been lukewarm enough! It is now time to contact unusual grace and fire and power to be used of God, to move into the realms that God wants to use us and move us. Church Gist. Don’t look at anybody, focus on God and focus on yourself. My life will not remain like this! I refuse to remain on dry, dead and disgusted…
I refuse to remain discouraged waiting for somebody else to come and encourage me. I refuse to go ahead complaining and murmuring. Lord, here I am, make me brutal and rugged for you!
Deliver me from plastic Christianity and shallow encounters. Let the wells within me break, let the waters burst! Let something fresh come out! Out of me.. Out of them shall flow rivers of living waters.
There are people carrying elephants on their head, yet they are still standing and walking. Others are carrying ants and they’re complaining and fainting. Others have been bitten by serpents and they didn’t die. Rather they cast the serpents into the fire! Others are bitten by ants and they almost died!
What is your capacity? What are you carrying in these days of the kingdom? I sought for a man that will stand in the gap and I found none…Lord, here I am, use me! Raise me for your kingdom! Raise me for my generation! Raise me for my community!
Ask God to restore your prayer life, your intercessory grace, your revelation capacity, your vision capacity.
-Place your hand on your womb and say, Father, help me to birth what you have deposited on the inside. Let me birth life, living water. Church Gist. Let me birth grace, I refuse to remain spiritually dormant. I refuse to remain spiritually barren. Let me birth souls for you and your kingdom. Let me birth gladness and joy. Oh God, let it flow! I birth it now! I refuse to live in depression, I refuse to live in sadness. I refuse to live in frustration, I carry rivers! Rivers of joy! Rivers of life, rivers of revival!
Restore my prayer life! Restore my fasting gift!! Restore every missing gift! Every lost gift, every dormant gift on my inside, restore me Oh God. Open my spiritual eyes, open my spiritual sensitivity!
The Bible says the flesh luat against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh. They war against each other. Galatians 5.
You cannot be fleshly consumed and expect the power of God to flow through you. Church Gist. You cannot be fleshly dominated and you want to lay hands on the sick for the sick to be healed. You cannot be fleshly dominated and you want to cast out devils and you expect the devils to obey you.
-Father, this day, quicken my spirit man, set my heart on fire again! I come against empty, dry Christianity. I come against every lethargic, gloomy, moody, dry Christianity. I come against dragging, boring, dead life. Oh God, as I profess, let it manifest. As I profess, let it be! Deliver me oh God, from this end time antiChristianity! Deliver me from this end time dry Christian life! Deliver me Oh God!
Christianity of distraction, Christianity of easy satisfaction! Christianity of no fire, no life, no guts, no grace!
Deliver me from the Christianity of just going to church and yet never on fire. Of just going to church and yet no revival. Of just going to church and no life. Deliver me oh God from me today!
On the Last day, which is this day, let him that thirsts come. Here I am Lord, I am here today!
Deliver me from the Christianity of miracles, of bread and butter. Make me through the fire of the altar, the fire of your presence, the Christianity that believes in Kingdom sacrifice! Church Gist. The Christianity that believes in pursuing after God sincerely and wholeheartedly! Bring me back, bring me back to it oh Lord!
-Lift up your voice say, Touch me afresh, with your coal of fire. Kill me within me every demonic desires of the flesh!
Let pride give way, let fleshly desires give way! Anything not of you, limiting your fire and your power, in my life and through my life, let it give way now!
Isaiah 6:1-8.
-Lift up your right hand! Every true encounter with God sets the people of God on their toes. Church Gist. Every true encounter with God makes the people of God to become restless in God until they carry out the mission and assignment of God. Anytime believers become lukewarm, it is a clear sign that they have lost encounter with God. You can’t encounter Him and remain the same. Who will go for us? And he said, Here am I, send me.
-Say Father, I make myself available, Use me. Send me!
Restore my spiritual senses!
Take me beyond makeup Christianity! Church Gist. Beyond artificial Christianity! Take me, pull me out from that realm! I am ready to burn for you! I am ready to be used of you! Set me on fire! Let me burn like a blazing missile! A blazing spear! A blazing arrow through the land oh God! Church Gist. Set me on fire again! Take my eyes from distraction and focus my eyes on your vision! Take my eyes away from distraction oh God!!!
Out of their belly shall flow rivers! Rivers! I refuse to carry empty stomach! I refuse to carry dry stomach! Out of my belly shall flow rivers!! I cannot be carrying rivers and I’m looking for a cup of water!! Church Gist. No! I cannot be a carrrier of rivers and I’m looking for a cup!!
I don’t know where you are watching from, but I want you to connect to God this morning!
Let something burst out of you!
The way that alabaster box burst and the fragrance filled everywhere!
Lord burst this body! Burst this clay! Church Gist. Burst this nature! Break and burst anything holding back the fragrance! Anything stopping the fragrance, let it break!
- I curse every serpentine demon! I curse the demon of witchcraft! I curse every occultic power! Every snail spirit, I bind you now! Every tortoise spirit, I bind you now! I cast you out of the lives of God’s people!
I sought for a man…I sought for a man!
Lord cause us to rise! Up our game for us! Take our focus off who is there or who is not there. Church Gist. Take our focus off who is watching us or who is not watching us. Take our focus off the past, who was there or who offended us or who did not offend us. Take our focus off it Lord!
Baba, help us to become focused kingdom military men and women. Help us Oh God!
2 Timothy 2:3. Ministry is military! This kingdom has a king and this king has soldiers and these soldiers are you and I. There is a different lifestyle of this kingdom from other kingdoms! The day you became born again, you were recruited into the military of this kingdom. Male or female! Except you’re not born again! Or you are born again and you’re not aware! Church Gist. But if you are, you were chosen or recruited!
Too many vegetable Christians these days! The devil running through them, messing them up anyhow! Soldiers don’t get tied up!
I can’t go to church because I didn’t eat yesterday. I can’t go to church, somebody offended me. I can’t go to church because they didn’t pay me salary. Church Gist. I can’t go to church because I dont have transport fare. What a weakness and what a generation!
I can’t go to church because it’s on Sunday I wash my clothes. What a life!
Endure it. It won’t kill you.
What we went through in this place before we got to where we are, if I tell you, you will collapse.
Why are you not in church? My tailor didn’t bring my cloth! These are the excuses people give these days! The tailor did not bring my cloth!
There must be labour first before you can enjoy the fruits. What price have you paid? You are blaming God for what He has not done: Father if You are there, why have I not married? Church Gist. Why don’t I have a job? If You are there why don’t I have a child? If You are there why is my business not thriving? What price have you paid for the kingdom? What have you done for this kingdom? Can there be harvest without Labour?
I learnt a long time ago that if it’s not working I should check my own life. If I desire a thing and I don’t get it, it is not God. Church Gist. I should check my own life and it shouldn’t stop me from serving God. I should check my own records, where did I go wrong? Where did I miss it, that I am missing this blessing? What have I not done that I am supposed to do to get to the level I think I’m supposed to be?
That has been my walk with God and that has left me permanently desperate for God. I don’t blame anybody and I don’t blame God. If I desire a level and I am not yet there, it means something is missing and my eyes must be opened to see it. Let me revisit that aspect and correct things.
-Father, here am I. Rewire me, revamp me, revive me. Rekindle your fire in me Lord. I have realized that the fault is not with You, or with anybody. I have realized that the mistake came from me. Lord help me correct it and help me retrace my steps.
Go before God. Any prayer position you want to take, go ahead and take it!
This is the breaking point of somebody and the breaking point of a man is the breakthrough point for that man.
When you come to your breaking point, it means you have come to your breakthrough point.
Lord, I come to you at this level. This is who I am. I won’t put the blame that is not yours on You Lord and I won’t put the blam on others that is not theirs on them!
Here am I, Father have mercy!
Where did I go wrong? How did I go wrong? Church Gist. Father, correct everything! Open my eyes Lord to see where I went wrong, so that this wrong does not continue.
Let Your mercy flow, I come before You as I am!
Thank You Father, in Jesus mighty name!
I’m a man of unclean lips said Isaiah and I dwelt in the midst of people that are unclean. But the angel took a coal of fire with tongs from the throne of Grace and it touched my lips. He said This is a fresh fire, I rekindle you afresh. I set you ablaze afresh. I set you on fire again. Lord, let the fire be rekindled! Lord let the coal be rekindled! The coal from Your presence, the fire of Your presence!
