– Pastor E. A. Adeboye on “THE UNLIMITED GOD” || JUNE 2023 THANKSGIVING SERVICE || RCCG || 4th June, 2023
This morning we are talking about, ‘THE UNLIMITED GOD.’ Our text will be Jeremiah 32:27. When God asks a question, he is probably not even expecting an answer from you because he is the answer himself. Church Gist. The Lord God of all flesh is asking the flesh, “Is there anything too hard for me?” We are talking about the unlimited God – 2 words here: ‘unlimited’ and ‘God.’ God is a noun so we start by defining him because there are all kinds of gods around so we need to know which one we are talking about.
Who is God?
The God we are talking about is the one in Genesis 1:1. Church Gist. He is the creator of all things. The one who was at the very beginning.
Unlimited is a combination of 2 words: Un and limited. ‘Un’ is another word for not. Unlimited means not limited. Unpleasant means not pleasant, etc. The word, ‘Un’ could also mean the opposite. Church Gist. Unlimited means the opposite of being limited. To understand unlimited, we need to understand ‘limited.’ To be limited in the language of the market woman is to say, “thus far you can go and no further.” That means you are limited. If somebody is lame we will tell the fellow, ‘you can crawl but you can’t stand. You can’t run or jump.’
The God we are talking about is the one who is not limited, who cannot be hindered, who cannot be stopped from doing whatever he wants to do. He is not limited by opposition. Isaiah 43:13. He is unlimited by circumstances. It doesn’t matter what the situation may be, he is unlimited. Church Gist. Genesis 18:9-14. Tell the fellow next to you, ‘my own will not be difficult for God.’ He is not limited by time because he controls times and seasons. Daniel 2:20-22. So there is nothing called too late with God. John 11:1-44.
– In the name that is above every other name, everything that the enemy has considered too late for you, will be done today.
Now because he made heaven and earth, he is not limited by resources. Psalm 24:1; Haggai 2:8; Psalm 50:10-12. He is unlimited by resources. Church Gist. He is unlimited by age – he doesn’t grow old. Daniel 7:9-10. Yet according to Exodus 3:14: he still calls himself, ‘I am.’
So because he is not limited in age, he is not limited by strength. Isaiah 40:28-31 tells us that he is never tired. Church Gist. It says even if you are a young man and you wake up in the morning feeling fresh and strong, you will go weary – that’s why you sleep at night. Because God is unlimited, whatever you need he can supply. Bible scholars, those who know the Bible very well, (I am just a beginner when it comes to Bible) Professors who know Hebrew, Greek, they know everything. They tell us that when God said in John 14:14, “If you ask anything in my name I will do it,” he is actually saying if you ask for something that I forgot to create, I will create it for you. Church Gist. But if all of a sudden that you think of something that I never created, I will give it to you.
Somebody challenged the Professors once when they said that one, I said okay. Suppose I ask God for a cow with 4 heads, will God create it for me? The Professor said, “What do you want to do with heads? Why don’t you just ask for 4 cows? Church Gist. But if you really are that stupid, you’re so interested in the head of cows and you ask him for a cow with 4 heads, he will create it.” John 6:5-13. I have good news for someone: God already knows how he is going to solve your problems.
He took 5 loaves of bread and 2 small fishes and used it to feed 5,000 people and there were 12 baskets left over. Somebody said, where is the bread coming from? From himself. Church Gist. Himself is the bread of life. So he just kept on creating more bread as he was breaking the bread.
– In the name of the one who called me, before the end of this month, you will have more than sufficient!
God is unlimited and because He is not limited by time or age, he can move any mountain. Psalm 90:1-2. One of my sons was preaching on Friday night and he said, “Before your problem started, God has a solution.” He created the solution even before the problem. Church Gist. A friend of mine said something very funny but so true. He said, “of what use is the ear lobe?” Ask the scientists. They will tell you this thing has no real purpose except for one. It’s there for you to hang your spectacle because God knew before you were born that some of you will wear glasses. He has a solution for every problem before they started.
– Every mountain that has been plaguing your family, God will reveal the solution today!
The joy of every son is to boast about his father. When you give me a topic like this, if you don’t hold me tight, we will be here till tomorrow because I am proud of my father. Church Gist. He can do anything – absolutely anything.
I don’t want to tell you too many stories of what he can do but we wanted to start a Church in a particular country and I told our ambassador there, “Please we have come, we want to start a Church here in Israel.” Church Gist. He laughed. I said, why are you laughing? He said, everybody knows that America is the best friend of Israel. He said the Government of Israel had told America, “you know you are a Christian country, you can have the Roman Catholic, the Anglican, the Methodist, the Baptist, but we don’t want to hear anything about this Pentecostal something. Don’t bring that here.” So he said, if they said that to America and you are coming from Nigeria of all places and you say you want to start a Pentecostal Church? He said, forget it. Church Gist. I said, my own will be different.
Tell your neighbour, “when it comes to miracles, my own will be different.” So being a diplomat, he became diplomatic. “If you’re not going to listen to reason, alright.” He said what do you want me to do? “All I want you to do is help me submit the application.” Church Gist. He said, that’s all? I said that’s all, submit the application, leave the rest to my God. He submitted the application, 6 months later we were registered.
One more time with all faith, tell your neighbour, “my own will be different.” My God is unlimited, he can do anything but you see, that makes him a very great friend. If he is your friend, you got it made. Psalm 46:1. Church Gist. Any time you need his help he will be there and he can help you in a manner you can’t even dream possible, in a manner you can’t imagine.
1983, we were about to go and hold the first convention ever at Redemption Camp. Everywhere was jungle in those days and we were struggling, trying to build a little camp on some 13 and half acres of land. All of a sudden there were these little little pest birds, tiny things. Church Gist. They just came by the hundreds of thousands, they cover every tree around us. Within a day, they have finished all the leaves on the trees. The problem was that they were defecating everywhere, turned the whole little camp ground to a very smelly place. There was nothing we could do, they were so tiny.
One of the little boys around said, “I have a dane gun” and he will shoot a dane gun into their midst, dozens will die but it looked as if when one died, 100 will take it’s position. “God what am I going to do? People are coming for Convention; look at these birds.” Church Gist. God said, leave it to me. All of a sudden, mighty eagles from no where came by the dozens and they were just eating these birds, killing them. Within hours, not a single one of those birds remained and then the eagles flew away.
– I decree to somebody today, if God has to send somebody from Heaven to go and solve your problem, so shall it be!
I will be failing you as a man of God if I don’t tell you that he is also a very dangerous enemy. You can’t run from him, where are you going to run to? Where you are going he is there. Church Gist. Psalm 139:8-12; Jonah 1. Some people say, why do you keep on saying ‘be holy be holy’? It is because I know him; he’s my Daddy. When he’s your friend, no opposition. But if he becomes your enemy…
One more story: one man came to the Redeemed Christian Church of God when we were in the old auditorium there. He had swallowed a charm to make money and for one reason or the other, money didn’t come. Church Gist. He had made a promise that after 7 years he can die; he just wanted to be rich for 7 years and after that, he can die. When he saw that it was about 2 weeks to 7 years and something was biting him inside, he ran to the Church. He told us the story and we said that’s no problem, our God is the great deliverer. Will you give your life to Jesus? He said, yes Sir. We prayed a simple prayer, he vomited the thing. Church Gist. Whether you believe it or not, as soon as he vomited the thing, the thing looked something like a crab. The thing was trying to escape. It was alive. We have to chase it to kill it and set it on fire.
For about 2 weeks, our brother was coming, rejoicing – ‘ah, I have my life back.’ Then all of a sudden, we didn’t see him again. Church Gist. We decided to do follow up and he said, ‘ah, they told me I swallowed that one wrongly.’ Meaning what? You’ve swallowed another one? He said yes and thus time, money came. I mean, the money just came. But then, 7 years. The 7 years seemed to be a long period. Ask somebody who is in debt, who borrowed money from the bank, he will tell you 7 years can fly. Church Gist. When another 7 years was about to end, he had a brain wave. “Demons can operate only in Africa; we will run to London. The cold weather there won’t allow them to touch me.” He died on the plane.
You don’t run from God, he’s unlimited, unlimited by space. Like somebody will say, “if you know you can’t beat them, join them. You can’t beat God, he’s a great friend, he’s my friend. Church Gist. You are on his side if he’s your friend, he will solve problems in a manner you can’t even dream possible. I don’t want to begin to tell you the story of how I got my PhD. I solved my PhD problem by showing me the crossing of the Red Sea. He said if sea parted into 2, the children of Israel passed through on dry land and the Sea came back together, take your problems let me help you solve them. Church Gist. By then I had a 186 simultaneous equations. Anybody who knows anything about Mathematics will know that is a serious problem. I didn’t even know what to do and I have been on this thing for 18 months. He said, bring your equations. I spread the equations before him. He said, put this on the right, put this on the left… You think God doesn’t know Mathematics? Church Gist. All of a sudden after I separated all the equations, I saw that all the equations on the right have something in common, all those on the left have something in common and the equation contracted quickly.
Five hours later, the work I have been doing for 18 months was over. Church Gist. That’s God! He’s my friend, let him become your friend and promotion will become easy.
