THIS IS THAT DAY WHEN THINGS WILL NO LONGER BE THE SAME IN YOUR LIFE!
BEFORE WALLS MUST COME DOWN, THERE’S AN ELEMENT OF VIOLENCE INVOLVED – IT WAS NOT A GENTLE SHOUT THAT BROUGHT DOWN THE WALL OF JERICHO
NOT ALL WALLS ARE BAD. SOME SIGNIFY THAT THEY ENCLOSE TREASURES WITHIN
THE RED SEA REPRESENTS WALLS THAT CAN RENDER YOUR PREVIOUS VICTORIES USELESS, CAUSE YOUR ENEMIES TO CATCH UP WITH YOU AND ULTIMATELY LEAD TO DEATH
IN THE NAME OF THE ONE WHO SENT ME, EVERY RED SEA IN YOUR WAY SHALL PART!
THERE ARE WALLS THAT ARE NATURAL – THE RED SEA, WALLS THAT ARE INHERITED – GENERATIONAL CURSES, WALLS THAT ARE MAN-MADE – JERICHO WALL AND WALLS YOU ERECTED YOURSELF
THE JERICHO WALL IS SYMBOLIC OF SITUATIONS IN YOUR LIFE THAT DEFY THE PROMISES OF GOD.
EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT IS CAUSING PEOPLE TO SAY, “WHERE IS YOUR GOD?” THAT WALL WILL FALL TONIGHT!
IF YOU DON’T STUDY AND YOU FAIL, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL COMFORT YOU. HE REMINDS YOU THOSE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT OR YOU LEARNT
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE ENEMY CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT INTO YOUR FUTURE AND MAKES EFFORTS TO DESTROY YOU – IT’S A MIRACLE THAT YOU ARE STILL ALIVE TODAY
LAZINESS IS A TERRIBLE WALL THAT YOU CREATE FOR YOURSELF AND CARRY EVERYWHERE
ONE OF THE BIGGEST WALLS THAT MANY OF US HAVE IS THAT WE CAN’T EVEN PRAY FOR ONE HOUR
THE SAME MIRACLE OF A SHORT MAN GROWING TALLER THAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE IS HAPPENING HERE TONIGHT!
I LEARNT HUMILITY IN A HARD WAY BECAUSE PRIDE NEARLY DESTROYED ME.
I LOST MY ABILITY TO HEAR FROM GOD BECAUSE OF PRIDE BUT GOD RESTORED IT AFTER I REPENTED.
MANY PEOPLE CRITICIZED US WHEN WE WERE BUYING THIS ‘JUNGLE’ (REDEMPTION CAMP) BUT TODAY GOD HAS TURNED IT TO A CITY.
GOD INSTRUCTED ME TO WEAR 7 AGBADA AND DANCED WITH THEM AFTERWARDS LAY THEM ON THE ALTAR FOR PEOPLE WITH CHALLENGES TO TOUCH.
A MAN GRABBED ONE OF THEM AND HE BECAME SATURATED WITH GOD’S POWER.
– Pastor E. A. Adeboye on “ALL THE WALLS MUST COME DOWN” at RCCG November 2023 Holy Ghost Service || 3rd November, 2023
The Bible teaches that God has a timetable for everything. In every man’s life, every woman’s life, there comes a day when things will no longer be the same. For someone here tonight, this is the day! The Bible says, from the days of John the Baptist, the Kingdom of God suffereth violence, the violent have taken it by force. Church Gist. Our topic tonight says, “all walls must come down.” It didn’t say, all walls ‘may’ come down, it said, all walls ‘must’ come down. Before walls must come down, there’s an element of violence involved – a must. When the wall of Jericho fell, it was not a gentle shout. It was a shout that shook the foundation of the wall.
Several years ago, during one of the Holy Ghost Services, we prayed some violent prayers and someone contacted me after the Service and said, “Sir, you’re supposed to be a gentle man. Christianity teaches that you must be as gentle as a dove.” I said, yes sir, I agree. By that time, we just moved to the Camp and we were living among pythons and snakes. Once upon a time, we will come in and find a snake under the bed sheet. On one occasion, I went into the bedroom of the boys, it was a double decker bed, thank God I went in, they had not come in then and I saw a snake climbing the double decker bed. I didn’t say, “ah, thou beautiful creature of God, I understand it is cold outside that’s why you have come in to the room.” I wasn’t gentle as a dove, I did what was necessary to be done. Today, you’re not going to be gentle as a dove. Everything you do tonight must be done with violence. So I want you to begin by praising God violently. I want you to praise Him.
Daddy says I should tell someone, “all those who are trying to terminate your destiny, one by one before the New Year they will perish.”
At long last, Congress is here and as you know, the theme for this year’s Congress is ‘Divine Repositioning’ and the Bible says in His Word that the last shall be first. It takes God to take you from the last and put you in front. The Bible tells us that the weak should say “I am strong.” It takes divine intervention for the weak to become suddenly strong. Church Gist. The Bible says let the poor say “I am rich.” You have heard testimonies of people who are not even hoping to be able to rent a flat who became a landlord within days – that is divine repositioning.
The Almighty God wants to do something this year that the world will hear about it and they will tremble. I will advise you whatever it’s going to cost you everyday of the Congress, make sure you attend. The reason God is clearing walls this month is so that there will be nothing between you and your miracles in December. Church Gist. Of course I’m sure you know the date. If you don’t know the date, you can see me wearing it (Holy Ghost Congress apron). The Holy Ghost Congress is coming from 4th – 10th December. It’s going to be extraordinary.
A wall is a boundary. The Elders will tell you, “even when the farm belongs to both father and son, there will still be a boundary.” A wall as you will probably see in big houses, is telling your neighbour, “you may be richer than I, you may be stronger than I, but this wall is saying ‘this is your boundary; it’s how far you can go and no further.” Not all walls are bad. If you go to Ikoyi or VI, you will see some mighty houses, you will see big walls round them. Church Gist. It is simply saying to all those who are outside the wall, there are treasures here. You don’t see such houses in Ajegunle, you don’t see us building mighty walls round our houses in Mushin but when you go to places where (laughs) within the walls there are treasures, the walls are high. Revelation 21:10-12 – it talks about the Holy Jerusalem, the great City of God, surrounded by walls because within that City, all manner of precious things are; but it’s simply saying, the walls that are great and high are telling outsiders, you can see the wall but you can’t come in. So walls basically means that which tells you, “thus far you can come and no further.” So you find that walls are in categories. I won’t have enough time to go through all the categories but I will try to mention some of them to you.
There are some walls that are natural. There were there – for example, the Red Sea. The Red Sea has been there for donkey years since the world was formed. It only became a wall when the children of Israel were on their way to the Promised Land and it stood in their way. I can give you an illustration of that straight away: when you are born and you’re born black, there’s nothing wrong with being born black depending on where you are born, depending on which nation. Church Gist. There are some nations in the world that if you’re a black man, there’s a limit to how far you can go. You will want to move beyond a certain level they will tell you “ehn ehn” (refusal). It’s like I was telling some of my children, you may carry a British passport but a day will come when you will want to do something and they will let you know there is no British that is actually black.
One day I was about to enter into London and there was this immigration officer and he was giving me all manner of problems. When finally I was allowed to go, I looked at him and said, “Sir, I already got my passport stamped o. I said, why is it that it is those of us who are from other nations that become a problem?” He looked at me and said, “I am British.” Church Gist. But just by looking at him, I know he was an Indian. I said, you? He said, yes. I said, “You’re an Indian!” I said, one day they will show you that no true British will look like you. As soon as I said that, I ran. So you’re born black, that can become a wall just like the Red Sea which was sitting down quietly on its own until the children of Israel wanted to pass through.
Then, there are walls that you inherited. The walls have been there before you were born. I’m sure you have heard of things they call, “Generational Curses.” You were not there when your father or great grand father misbehaved but then, there is a wall created by a curse pronounced on the family that will be there, blocking your way. I remember very well before I became a Christian, I came from a family that if a woman gives birth to a boy, she must not eat salt or oil for 9 days; 7 days if it happens to be a girl. If she dares eat, the child will die. Church Gist. This is traceable to the days of warfare because our great grand father was a mighty warrior and he did something to one of the slaves and that one placed a curse on the family. It took Jesus to break that curse.
– That Jesus that broke the curse in my family will break every curse in your family!
Then there are walls that are man-made like Jericho wall. Our text is from Joshua 6:20. Church Gist. So there are walls that are natural, walls that are inherited, walls that are man-made, then probably the most critical of all of them will be the walls you build yourself – walls that you erected yourself that is blocking your way.
– In the name of the One who made Heaven and Earth, every wall must come down!
Let’s take the Red Sea as an illustration: like I said, the Red Sea only became a wall when it blocked the way of Israel to the Promised Land.
– The Red Sea is symbolic of delays. The children of Israel were already going. They’ve left Pharaoh and his host far behind but when they got to the Red Sea they were stuck and they were stuck there until the enemy caught up with them.
– The Red Sea represents walls that allow people that you have left behind to catch up with you – particularly, enemies.
– The Red Sea represents the kind of walls that can send you back to square one because the plan of Pharaoh and his host was to recapture the children of Israel and take them back into slavery.
– The Red Sea represents situations that can cause you to backslide, to go back to where you have already said, bye bye.
– The Red Sea represents walls that can render your previous victories useless. The children of Israel had already left Egypt singing victory songs because at long last they were delivered. Church Gist. They left with a lot of wealth, they were healthy, but the Red Sea wanted them to go back so that all the previous victories can become useless.
– The Red Sea represents the kind of wall that not only delays you for enemies to catch up with you, it could ultimately lead to death. I give you one example – Samson. The problem of Samson was that he was a Jew living among enemies of the Jews. He was born to be a mighty conqueror but there was a wall and that wall was that he was always looking in the wrong direction. Church Gist. When the enemy finally caught up with him, the fact that he alone, singlehandedly, had killed a thousand of them, was no longer of any consequence. They captured the champion, plucked out his eyes, bound him, sent him to prison to begin to dance before the idols and finally, he died.
– I pray today in the name of the One who sent me, every Red Sea in your way shall part!
I will talk briefly about the Jericho wall as another example of what a wall could be. The Jericho wall is symbolic of a situation in your life that defies the promises of God. God had made certain promises to you, you had come a bit to the Holy Ghost Service and the Word of God had come direct and you know that you know that you know that “this word is for me, no doubt about it” and yet, years had passed, you’ve heard other people who were present during that time, giving testimonies showing that the man of God didn’t lie, so you begin to wonder, “I know he didn’t lie, I’m sure that when he prophesied he was talking to me, how come my own case has not come to pass?” Church Gist. You see because God had already told Joshua, “every place your foot shall tread upon, I’ve given it to you,” then here come the wall of Jericho. The wall of Jericho seemed to be saying, “Where is that your God?”
– The wall of Jericho represents something that is saying, you’re so near and yet you are so far because that wall is the only barrier (now) before the children of Israel can really move on into all the promises of God.
– The wall of Jericho represents when you’re doing everything God said you should do, you pray, fast, pay your tithes, give your offerings, win souls, build Churches and yet, God seems to be silent. Church Gist. That’s a wall of Jericho.
– Everything in your life that is causing people to say, “where is your God?” that wall will fall tonight!
One more example: Goliath. You know, whether you believe it or not, the enemy can see a little bit into your future. Ask the Elders, they will tell you that, the original Babalawos, the Ifa oracle specialist – the genuine ones, not the ones that are divinating through internet, the Elders will tell you that the Babalawo can see at least 4 days ahead. They have a proverb, “as today is, that’s not how tomorrow will be. That’s why the Babalawo checks the oracle every 5 days.” He can see 5 days ahead and then, he can’t go further. Many at times, from the moment you are born, the devil had a glimpse of what you’re going to become. I don’t know where the devil was when God anointed David in the house of Jesse but somehow, the devil knew, “this little boy is going to become a king.” So he decided that before this boy can become a king, I will kill him. He tried the lion, the lion failed. He tried the bear, the bear failed. You know what? Only God knows how many efforts the devil has made to destroy you. You don’t know how many battles God has fought for you up till this moment.
I don’t have time to tell stories but if I were to tell you how many efforts the devil made over my life when I was small, you will be amazed. It’s a miracle that you’re still alive today brother, sister. Let me hear you shout halleluyah to God. So the lion failed, the bear failed and devil said, “let’s do it this way: let me present my champion.” Listen to what Goliath was saying, you can read it in 1 Samuel 17. What Goliath said is, “send one man to fight me. If I defeat him, you all become our slaves. If he defeats me, we become your slaves.” All the devil was after was the Kingdom that God has prepared for David. The devil had arranged it that, “this boy, I will tell his father to send him to the war front. I know when he gets there, he will begin to brag about his God, ehen, then we will kill him and take over the Kingdom.” But there’s someone who is called, “the Alpha and the Omega.” Not only does he know the end from the beginning, he is your beginning and he is going to be your ending.
– Today in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, every Goliath in your life will fall!
But the one I am concerned about is not the Red Sea. The Red Sea is going to part tonight. The one I am concerned about is not Jericho wall – it must fall tonight. I’m not even concerned about Goliath because the One who has brought you thus far, the One who gave you victory over the lion, the bear, he will take care of Goliath also.
Some of you have probably heard me tell the story before: we were in the very first auditorium and miracles were happening round the altar and there was a short man in the crowd, he wanted to see what was going on around the altar and when he turns to the right, somebody taller will block his eyes, turns to the left another fellow will block his face and he cried to God, “oh God, how I wish I were taller.” God heard in Heaven and spoke to me, “there’s somebody there saying ‘I wish I were taller’ tell him I have already granted his request, he should check his trouser.” The man looked at his trouser, (laughs) and the trouser seemed to be shorter. God said it is not the trouser that has become shorter, it is you who have become taller. Why am I telling this story? The Lord asked me to tell you, “the same miracle is happening here tonight!”
There are certain walls that you create for yourself, walls that you carry everywhere:
1. Laziness: the Word of God made it clear: a slothful man will always be under tribute. Proverbs 22:29; 2 Kings 13:14-19. I’ve told some of you in the past, what embarrassed me most is that Elisha who said that was still alive. If I were the King I will say, “eeeehhh, 3 times is not enough? You said 5 times or so? I will grab the arrow and I will keep smiting the ground – not 5 times, not 10 times, I will keep smiting until he begs me to stop.” But the King was lazy. You know, one of the biggest walls that many of us have is that we can’t even pray for one hour.
Remember when Jesus took Peter and co. to the garden of Gethsemane and said, “watch with me, I’m going to pray,” he came back and said, “ahn ahn, you can’t even watch for one hour?” You know any time I finish preaching and I say, “you can come to the altar, come and pray,” when I say that I usually go to lay hands on some very special cases. By the time I return, I see that some people are already wondering, “where did he go?” They think 15 minutes prayer is already too long. That wall must fall tonight!
In the olden days when we finished preaching in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, nobody stops you, they just say, go and pray. On Sunday morning, you finish preaching, they say, go and pray. We will come back for evening service and some people are still on their knees praying. Some of you here who had never prayed for one hour, that’s going to change. Laziness is a terrible wall.
I remember years ago in one of the Universities, I went to them and they said to me, “Pastor (they’re not all members of my Church, everybody was either a pastor or a ‘bro’ in those days), I thought you said that the Holy Spirit will teach us all things, how come that we all failed in our examinations? I asked them, “how much time do you spend in studying?” …because they said they are in fellowship and they will be singing and dancing even though examination is on. “But the Holy Spirit was supposed to teach us all things.” (They replied). I said, he said he will remind you those things that you have been taught/ learnt. You don’t study, you fail, the Holy Spirit will comfort you. He will tell you, “don’t worry, you’re not dead yet, try again. It’s only that your classmates now have become your senior.”
I want somebody to lift his hand high to God and say, “I will never be lazy again!” Laziness is a terrible wall.
Another wall is pride. Thank you Father. Lord asked me to tell someone, He said “the chain that the enemy tied round your waist that he uses in pulling you back anytime you want to move forward, the chain is broken. Pride is a terrible wall. Why? James 4:6. How can you move forward when God is the one pushing you backwards? How can you? I have said it before, if a demon is blocking your way and you say “I command you, get out of my way” and the demon says “in whose name” and you say “in the name of Jesus” – he will get out of the way. Church Gist. But if an angel is the one who is blocking your way and you say “I command you, get out of my way” and he says “in whose name”, you say “in the name of Jesus” – he says He is the one who asked me to stand here.
God resists the proud. Psalms 73:6, Proverbs 16:18. When pride comes then destruction follows. Proverbs 29:23. 2 Kings 5:1-14. Church Gist. But for the grace of God, Naaman would have lost his healing, he would have died a leper because when he came and the man of God said “go to Jordan and wash and be clean” and he said “me, General Naaman? and there are better rivers where I’m coming from, can’t I go there and wash and be clean?” A leper dictating how he should be healed. Thank God for extended mercy.
May God extend His mercy to you tonight!
A lot of people when they are talking “Daddy G.O thank God for your humility.” I learnt my lesson a hard way. You don’t know who is seating before you (laughs). I was poor and proud in every area – just proud and there’s nothing to show for the pride. I became born again and when I became born again, I was the most educated man in the Church so I became the interpreter for Baba the General Superintendent and every other pastor left me to interpret for him. When other pastors wanted an interpreter, they took somebody else. Church Gist. There were quite a few interpreters anyway. Then one day, one pastor just came to me and said “brother, you will be interpreting for me today” (I said) me? (I didn’t say it loud). “Who does he think he is? Asking me the special day interpreter for the Baba – this pastor.” I interpreted for him because in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, a worker can’t say no to a pastor.
You have heard the story before because one of the gifts God gave me early in my Christian life was the ability to hear from him. We finished the sermon, the man didn’t know how my heart was boiling. If he had known, he would have asked me to go and sit down, he would have taken another interpreter and as I was going to my car…and in those days, in the entire Redeemed Christian Church of God, there were 5 cars and my own was one of the newest and it was second hand. As I was going to my car, God spoke and said “so you are now too big to interpret for my servant” and suddenly Heaven was shut. I didn’t hear a word from God anymore and the devil knew that I wasn’t hearing so he tormented me as much as he could. Church Gist. I pray that God will not resist you! I wept, I prayed, I fasted, I did everything and God didn’t talk. Heaven was silent. God will not be silent to you!
It got so bad that one day I prayed, I said “God forgive me this once and if I am going to offend you again tomorrow, please kill me today.” He knew He got me and He started speaking again and by the grace of God, He has been speaking ever since. Pride nearly destroyed me – and the wall fell. Church Gist. The wall of pride fell in my life – fell so thoroughly that years later when I became General Overseer, I went to Ilesa and I went into our Church there and there was a deacon that was about to lead the Bible study that night. They didn’t know I was coming. I just came in and they took me to the altar, I sat down there and he was already at the altar to teach. As soon as he saw me, he said “thank God you have come” and I said ” no, I am not here to teach.” He said “you must talk to us.” I said “okay, you preach, I will interpret.” A General Overseer interpreting for the Deacon. His leg was shaking, I told him “don’t worry, preach – I will interpret.” After some time of course, he forgot who was the interpreter when the Holy Spirit grabbed him. But the fellow who wasn’t a pastor (I was a worker), the worker who wasn’t willing to interpret for a pastor became a General Overseer who interpreted for a deacon because the wall fell.
In the name that is above every other name, the wall of pride in your life will fall tonight!
Another wall that must fall in your life tonight is called anger. Psalm 37:8-9. Some of you enjoy being angry. You have a violent temper. You are quickly annoyed. Proverbs 14:17, Ecclesiastes 7:9. Thank you my Father. I think you better listen very carefully to this. God wants me to tell someone, He says “you must never forget that He can reverse the irreversible” so He wants me to tell you “that very soon, your tithe is going to be bigger than your 100 percent now.” He asked me to tell you “when that time comes, don’t begin to play tricks because He can reverse the irreversible.” Church Gist. Write that down. You have very little now, He is about to multiply you, He is about to make your tithe bigger than your 100 percent. He said “when that time comes, don’t forget that He can reverse the irreversible.”
We are talking about anger. Even God the Almighty, the Bible says “He is slow to anger.” The Almighty God Himself is slow to anger so if you are quick to anger, something is wrong with you. Church Gist. Proverbs 16:32, Psalm 145:8, Proverbs 22:24-25. The Lord said I should tell a woman, He said “your husband is definitely a failure and that your sons are beginning to show signs that they want to follow his footstep” but the Lord asked me to tell you “I will intervene.”
(Let’s) consider Moses – we’re talking about anger. Numbers 20:1-12. It was anger that did not allow Moses to make it to the promised land. It was anger that was his wall. Get rid of anger. Nobody gets angry without a reason but the moment you feel anger welling up in you, tell yourself immediately “don’t be a fool” because it doesn’t matter who had wronged you, anger is called temporary madness. Church Gist. It may be temporary but it’s madness and during the period of that madness, you can do something that you will never be able to reverse. That wall called anger must fall tonight! Alright, let me take about one or two others.
There is something called unbelief. Mark 9:23. Let me assure you “my God can do all things.” He is the God of all flesh, there is nothing too hard for Him to do. The wall that has been standing between many of us and our miracles is something called unbelief. There are promises of God that when you hear them, they sound impossible but if it is God speaking, believe Him – He is the maker of Heaven and earth. When I was praying for a house in Mushin and he promised me “I will build you a city.” I believed Him. It didn’t make sense.
If I say to you tonight that my God is saying that very soon “you will be among the greatest” – will you believe Him? If I tell you that your red sea is going to part, will you believe Him?
There have been occasions He has tested us to find out ‘do we believe?’ I was telling some of my children (somewhere I can’t remember whether in Europe or something) of one occasion when the Almighty God told me to wear 7 agbada. We were in the very first auditorium. He knows I don’t like agbada, I only wear it once or twice a year. When I want to praise Him, I wear agbada but other than that, there is nothing wrong with agbada. It’s a very beautiful dress. The problem with agbada is that it is incorrigible. You swing it this way before you finish swinging it this way, the other one is already coming down (demonstrating). I said o God! Whoever created agbada should have his name in the Guinness Book of Record because he created a dress that has his own mind. He knew I don’t like wearing agbada but He asked me to wear 7. Even if you like agbada, you don’t want to wear 2 but He asked me to wear 7. If I don’t know His voice, I would have said “get thee behind me satan” and then He asked me to dance in that 7 for a while but He is the One speaking so I did what He asked me to do and then He asked me to lay the agbada on the altar. He said “anybody who has a problem” tell them to go and touch the agbada – touch and not hold and I told the people. Church Gist. The dress looked ordinary but God had spoken and people were going there, they were touching and touching. We finished by 8am and I went to my prayer room to pray and to stay. (At) 5pm, they came knocking at the door of my prayer room. What’s the problem with you people? They said “somebody is about to die.” I said “what happened?” He (the man) said his own problem is more than touching, so he grabbed the dress. The dress looked ordinary but because it has been worn in obedience, it has become saturated with power. I had to beg God to release Him.
Then I was traveling to America and God asked me to take one of the agbada with me. I got there, I explained to my children there during their Convention and there was a white man there. Church Gist. So when I said everybody should be coming to touch, he said “what kind of nonsense is that (to touch a dress)?” But something told him “go ‘nah’ after all they are not asking you to pay for it” and he came and he touched…and he came, his back was in a cage of iron. He had to wear a cage of iron to be able to stand upright. He touched the thing and the iron broke to pieces.
I’m talking to you about a God you cannot see but His power can do anything. That wall called unbelief will disappear from your life tonight. Church Gist. Hebrews 11:6…and if He (God) is not pleased, then you have a barrier.
Maybe I should just mention one more and then we will begin to round up. This other one is a twin sister of unbelief. It is called doubt. “Well they said God can do all things but how am I sure He would do my own?” Why are you doubting? Mark 11:23. If a man believes and doubts not, he will say to mountains “move.” Church Gist. Many at times, we have asked mountains to move but after we have said it, we begin to doubt. James 1:5-8. Thank you Lord.
Can you please stand on your feet and you are going to do something only by faith. If you don’t believe me, don’t do it because the Almighty God is asking me to tell you to shout and what you are going to shout is “no more limit for me.” Amen. So shall it be in Jesus name. I am grateful to you Lord, thank you. Church Gist. In James 1:5-8, the Bible says if you ask anything in faith, you must not waver because it says anyone who is wavering won’t get anything from God. Just believe Him, don’t doubt.
Now, it is one thing for the wall to fall (and) it is another thing for the wall to remain down. I’m closing with that. When the wall falls tonight, it must remain down. When the wall of Jericho fell, Joshua cursed anybody who ever tried to build the wall again because he wanted the wall to stay down. When David killed Goliath, he didn’t just allow him to remain dead, he cut off his head. Church Gist. The elders have a saying “don’t play with a snake whose head has not been cut off.” The walls that you have made up your mind to destroy particularly these internal walls must remain forever down. No more doubting, no more unbelief! The Bible says some of the things you are believing, some people may say it is foolishness, we can’t believe it sir. What if some people don’t believe, will the unbelief of some people make the faith of God of no effect? It says “God forbid” – let all men be liars and let God be true. Don’t base your faith on the faith of others please.
I remember very well when God brought me here to this land (Redemption Camp) and said “son that is the city I promised you.” All we had then was 4 and a half acres and then we moved on and bought more acres – 9 today, 10 tomorrow etcetera until we got to about 30 something acres…and I know people close to me who discouraged me. Church Gist. Some of them are listening to me now. “The money we should be spending on building Churches, he is spending it on a jungle. We have no money to do this, to do that but he is focusing on a jungle.” They are living in that jungle now. Fortunately, I am not looking in anybody’s direction.
If others don’t believe, don’t let that affect you. If others are doubting, don’t let that affect you. Church Gist. If others want to be proud, that’s their own concern – be humble. If others want to continue in their anger, leave them alone, maybe they don’t know. Let them call you a fool for being meek. When the wall falls, it must remain forever down…never to rise again.
The last wall that I want to mention is sin. Isaiah 59:1-2. God knows the foundation of every wall, He can pull them down. Just one shout from His children and the wall of Jericho came tumbling down. Some very important people in the time of Paul and Silas put them in prison. They thought that their destiny was about to be truncated. They thought they would finish them the following morning. Church Gist. By midnight, Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to God and the one who knows the foundation of every prison shook it and the doors were flung opened and those who threw them in (the Lord asked me to tell somebody that after tonight those who said we don’t want to be seeing you will be seeking for you)…those who threw Paul and Silas into prison, they came the following day to beg them to go. My God will humiliate those who are trying to humiliate you. But if you are living in sin, as powerful as He is, you won’t be able to contact Him and if you don’t contact Him, how will your red sea part? It takes the wind of the Holy Spirit to blow a path through the red sea. It takes the Almighty God the One who said the earth is mine and the fullness thereof to uproot the wall of Jericho. It took the Almighty Rock of ages to dock down Goliath. You can’t get all these walls down without His Son (Jesus Christ).
SALVATION PRAYER.
