THE PLACE OF ANGELS IS ONE ASPECT OF CHURCH GROWTH THAT IS UNKNOWN IN THE CHURCH TODAY.
ANGELS ARE AT THE COMMAND OF THE REDEEMED WHENEVER THEY ARE REQUIRED.
THE APOSTLES EXPERIENCED EXPLOSIVE SIGNS AND WONDERS BECAUSE THEY WERE SPECIFIC IN THEIR DEMAND.
SPECIFICS ARE THE ORDER OF THINGS IN THE KINGDOM.
SPECIFICS IN PRAYERS WITH FAITH WILL ALWAYS DELIVER.
WE DON’T WISH FOR ANGELS TO ACT, WE DEMAND FOR THEIR ENGAGEMENTS.
WE ARE NOT PRAYING TO ANGELS, WE ARE PRAYING TO JESUS TO WHOM ALL ANGELS ANSWER.
THERE IS NEED FOR A RESCUE MISSION BECAUSE MANY ARE CONTEMPLATING SUICIDE RIGHT NOW.
ANGELS EXCEL IN STRENGTH HENCE, THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE BARRIER OF THE GATES OF hell.
‘SPECIAL HEALING MIRACLE SERVICE’ HOLDS THIS SUNDAY.
UNTIL ONE RETURNS BACK TO GOD, HE CANNOT BE RESTORED.
WHEN YOU GIVE GOD HIS OWN PLACE, HE SECURES YOUR PLACE IN LIFE.
– Bishop David Oyedepo on ‘ENGAGING THE WONDERS OF SPECIFIC DEMANDS ON OUR PRAYER ALTAR 5’ at 21 Days Annual Prayer and Fasting || Day Twelve || LFC Worldwide ||
‘ENGAGING THE WONDERS OF SPECIFIC DEMANDS ON OUR PRAYER ALTAR.’
Praying in tongues is not a substitute. Without a goal post, you will never score a goal. Without a target, you will never hit one. Specifics are the order of things in the Kingdom. Church Gist. You saw the creation itself, specific events per day. No mix up. ‘Have mercy on me.’ He said, “you have not said anything. What exactly do you want me to do for you?”
We are looking at 3 instances for the time that we have. First is the prayer of the Apostles as contained in Acts 4:29-33, Acts 5:12-15…They prayed for it and He granted it to them. Church Gist. Explosive signs and wonders in response to their specific demand for signs and wonders to be wrought in the name of Jesus. Specific demand! Specifics fly the most or fly the highest in prayers. Let’s come down specific. God is up to anything that His Word says. You don’t have to sympathize with God. He is the God of all flesh and nothing is impossible with Him.
Example number 2, Peter was shut up in prison. Acts 12:5-12…you can’t stop angels, they excel in strength. When he (Peter) came out, the angel left. “My God, this is true! I am free” and he headed for where prayer was going on. Church Gist. God led him to where the prayer was going on. Praise God! That’s how much specifics weigh in prayer. Rhoda went in and said “I could hear Peter’s knock on the door.” They said “come on stop that, it must be his angel”…and when she wouldn’t let them rest, they said “okay, let’s open.” Peter appeared. Specifics will always deliver. Specifics in prayers with faith will always deliver.
– Whatever we choose to demand of God specifically during this season shall deliver for a testimony!
This is one aspect of Church growth that is missing today (not known) – the place of angels in the last days harvest. Matthew 13:39…so there are reaper angels in Heaven waiting to be called up to take position. Church Gist. Angels are ordained to serve the interest of Christ on the Earth. Hebrews 1:6-7. They have unusual capacity but they are to service the interest of Christ and the core interest of Jesus on this Earth is to see all men saved. It’s to see that no one perishes. It’s to build His Church from strength to strength – that’s His mission. John 12:32, Luke 12:32. So He wants every little flock to become a Kingdom of Christ on the Earth and angels are there to serve this purpose.
As we know, Church growth is warfare. We have warfare angels in Heaven. We saw one of them manifested in 2 Kings 19:35. We are warring against the gates of hell. So these warring angels are in Heaven. Praise God! Church Gist. Angels are no fictions, they are real spiritual personalities. That’s what we saw in that 2 Kings 19:35.
In the same vein, angels are at the command of the redeemed whenever they are required. Hebrews 1:13-14. So they are at our command whenever they are needed. They are available to us whenever they are needed. Matthew 26:53. So we pray them down, we pray them on, we turn them on in the altar of prayers. Church Gist. We pray to turn them on. So today, we can call on Jesus to whom all angels answer. All angels answer to Him. Hebrews 1:6. So today, we can call on Jesus to send us reaper angels across our harvest field with their sharp sickles.
An angel went forth into the house of Cornelius (you know the story) and that led to the salvation of the entire lineage, the entire family and his kinsmen. Church Gist. He orchestrated it to get them. He appeared to Cornelius, He appeared to Peter. He organized it.
– Angels of God, reaper angels, organize the souls I’m trusting Heaven for this time. Come down on our harvest field and orchestrate the salvation of multitudes. Church Gist. Lead their way down here and as they come, let your Word bring them into your Kingdom.
“Send for Peter, he has something to tell you” and Peter opened his mouth and you know what happened. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit same time.
Now, let’s see how angels manifest in the harvest field. Revelation 14:14-16…That’s how powerful these angels are. So we don’t wish for them to act, we demand for their engagement. Church Gist. We demand for them to take over. We demand for them to draft multitudes to the Kingdom which is Jesus’ core interest on the Earth. Praise God!
We must therefore continue to demand for reaper angels to take over the harvest field for the actualization of the minimum double dimension of growth in our Churches before the end of the first half of the year. They are available but on demand. We are not praying to angels, we are praying to Jesus to whom all angels answer. Church Gist. “Send us your reaper angels to come down across our harvest field and bring us surprises this time, the kind we have never known before. Let them come down with their sharp sickles and orchestrate the salvation of multitudes in this awesome harvest season.”
No time is ever more ripe than the time we are in, where many people don’t even know what else to do. Many are contemplating suicide right now, there is need for a rescue mission and they are there to work out the rescue. Thank you Jesus! Because they excel in strength, they have no respect for the barrier of the gates of hell. They excel in strength! Church Gist. You saw in the case of Peter, the iron gate opened to them on its own accord. Barriers open to these angels on their own accord. You can’t stop them!
When you are hedgy, inevitable accident confronting you, “Jesus, send your angel for my rescue,” they will show up. “Send your warrior angel for my rescue. Jesus, let my own guardian angel arise and do his job.” “For the angel of the Lord is round about them that fear Him to deliver them.” Church Gist. There are things we have, we don’t know we have them. It’s time to recognize what Jesus says in His Word? Matthew 26:53. So we can call for them, we can demand for them.
– We are going to experience pleasant surprises this year of massive invasion of souls into the Kingdom!
You are going out, “reaper angels guide my steps, orchestrate the salvation of many today, bring them across my path, get me across to where they are. You can imagine the details of the address that the Angel gave to Cornelius. Church Gist. You get down to that place, you will find a man there called Simon the Tanner, he lives by the sea and that’s where one Simon Peter is. Send for him, he will come down. Direct! So direct me to where they are, guide my steps to where the harvest is waiting and He will do it.
We are not talking about angel worship, we are talking about engaging the reaper angels that God has ordained for the harvest of the end time to show themselves.
They can always enter anywhere. They can bring out anybody from every tower. They can bring anybody out there across your path. They can send for you tonight and say somebody has a need. It’s because Jesus wants to meet their needs. Amen! Thank you Jesus!
Now if you check the testimony of that young man who was rusticated from the university. Drug addictions, drug marketing, corruption of all kinds and have been coming to Church with his aunt (or something) but someday during the fast, Jesus touched him, the Holy Ghost convicted him and he surrendered his life to Christ and everything turned. Church Gist. Expulsion – recalled. Destiny – reshaped. Destiny recovered. Until one returns, he cannot be restored. You know, he was coming to Church, he was hearing all the messages, he was hearing all the altar calls but one day, it happened. His heart opened up and Christ came in.
——–ALTAR CALL———–
Be reminded that we have our first ‘Special Healing Miracle Service’ coming on this Sunday. We believe the great Physician will be present in our midst and will do what He only can do. Church Gist. Whatever Christ can do will be done because He said wherever 2 or 3 are gathered together in my name, I’m there in the midst of them.
– He will be here to confirm His Word in the name of Jesus and remember, it’s taking place right here.
I want to believe that also, we are praying over our Kingdom dreams. This is an opportunity to set the pace for it.
– Whatever you believe God for, genuinely in your heart shall be delivered for a testimony.
When He says on your marks, go! Don’t say you are going to the toilet, you won’t meet the race anymore. As soon as we’re done with the fasting – that’s go. Church Gist. It’s now time to exercise yourself in God’s agenda for the year and when you give Him His own place, then He secures your place.
