IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN
Romans 15:4
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Every statement of scripture has this verdict: what has been written has been written, settled in Heaven forever. If it has happened before, you can make it happen again if you are interested. If it happened before, you can remind God who made it happen before to make it happen again.
We have a responsibility to keep records of all findings that we make from the Word and the testimonies of what God has done before (Psalm 28:5). It fires up our faith for the victory we desire. The acts of God in the past set the pace for the victory we desire in our present battles. They limited God, “…we have only 12 days more to go, how can this happen? Because they forgot what He did before” (Psalm 78:40-42).
The whole nation of Israel turned from baal to the Lord God of their fathers in one day through the ministry of Elijah. You heard them screaming on Mount Carmel, “Ah the Lord, He is God!!!” and all the priests of baal were slain. Baalism ended that day, the living God took the throne: all in one day (1 Kings 18:23-39). That ended the worship of baal in Israel.
Within the next few days through the prayers of the saints, satan will pack out of Nigeria. The devil and its agents will pack out of our territory.
Elijah is a man like you, there is nothing extraordinary about him. He prayed earnestly (James 5:15).
What should we do? Pray earnestly. Pray intentionally. Pray a prayer from the heart. Pray the kind of prayer that must be answered like Elijah.
We are told we can reap the whole earth in one day through prayers (Isaiah 66:7-8). Our prayer time is very very potent in establishing God’s plan and purpose for His Church on the earth. You are not just engaging in activities, you are invoking divine intervention to confirm His word as He did before.
– Somebody’s voice will be registered in heaven and open rewards will validate it on the earth.
– Somebody’s cry will be noticed in heaven and open rewards will validate it on the earth.
Every act of God is everlasting and can be repeated over and again by whosoever believes but faith is a must to see the act of God repeated in our lives (Psalm 119:144).
If He did it somewhere else, He is still doing it today. His name is the ‘I AM THAT I AM’ (Exodus 3:13). I am the Lord, I change not: whatever you found Me doing yesterday, I am available to do it again if you believe, if you desire, if you crave to see it happen (Malachi 3:6).
– Next Sunday, there shall be a holy invasion of worshippers into the Faith Tabernacle. Outside and inside shall be jammed.
We know who to call: the Holy Ghost, the Lord of the Harvest with His mighty rushing wind has unlimited capacity to draft in multitudes that can never be numbered. The same way He brought in quails that were 2 cubits high from the floor and round about the tent; He is still on duty on today (Numbers 11:31). When He blows His whistle, everyone responds and they respond with speed (Isaiah 5:26).
– This coming Sunday, there shall be a holy invasion in the name of Jesus (Acts 13:44).
Let me strengthen your faith with this: I have two testimonies of individuals who picked thrown away fliers from the floor.
1. From Lekki and God just restored his dignity: He was sleeping outside, no job, no shelter. Within 4 days of his connection to this place, everything turned around.
That somebody throws away a flier: don’t worry, someone else will pick it.
2. Someone here had no job and he picked a ‘Turnaround Banquet’ flier on the ground. That was it, the Lord visited him as he came into Church, gave his life to Christ and everything turned, got a miracle job. All within moments.
We are God’s rescue agents and these fliers are God’s rescue instruments.
Somebody was going to commit suicide and he had put the drugs in his back pocket (in his jeans). As he was pulling out the drugs to swallow, the flier they gave him came out, ‘God still delivers from indebtedness’ and that was what he wanted to die for. He went through it, “what!!!” He ran down here the following morning. You could see death on his face, Jesus rescued him.
These fliers are God’s rescue instruments. Don’t treat them as papers, they are not.
Somebody here said she was a full-time prostitute. Every time they gave her a flier, she threw it away but one day she got one she could not throw away. She read it and found her exact problem behind the flier, called the number (we learn lesson from everything we do here – write your number on the fliers we share so that if some individuals need to call you, they can call your number, you’ll direct them); the person said, “okay, come over to church.”
She came to Church, gave her life to Jesus, her story changed forever: full-time prostitute became a full-time daughter of Abraham living a dignified life.
She said when she called the number, she discovered it was a Resident Pastor’s number: “Come to Church and Jesus will meet your need”; Jesus met her need.
We’ve heard such testimonies over and over again. People that are called for giving out the fliers.
Somebody came in for a service on Sunday: he arrived here on Saturday so that he won’t miss it. He got the flier in Ikeja (Lagos), he called the number, they directed and he said, “it’s better I go today (Saturday).” So he came on ground on Saturday, Jesus met with him on Sunday and his story changed forever.
Get excited, anytime we pray, we are not praying for prayer sake, we are praying for answer sake.
All this, “Holy Ghost, breathe upon these materials”, He is breathing on them. Thank You Jesus.
Let your faith come alive.
– No wasted labour in your life and every labour of yours in this season shall be openly rewarded.
– God will make you to laugh.
– You will be hit with surprises: positive surprises!! Enviable surprises in the name of Jesus.
Well Shiloh is here and then we had this Shiloh flier. Somebody boarded the bus and he was on to the shrine of ritual killers. He had his Shiloh flier behind and the Shiloh flier came out of his back pocket and fell before the shrine. The priest of the shrine picked it and fell down. He was in stupor, “everybody go!” 8 people were rescued from the son of God that was there. The eight of them were unconscious, he used the Shiloh flier to wipe their faces, they regained consciousness and they all worked out of the dungeon of hell.
There is something about anything God commands. God was the One who said, “go tell them to come and see” and He will ever confirm His Word. He is not a joker: He means what He says and He says what He means.
You all remember the Port Harcourt testimony of that my daughter with a baby on the back, Emmanuel. She saw something on the floor, thought somebody who boarded the tricycle fell from his pocket, picked it and that was the last she knew. They carried her into their forest and then one of the ritual killers took her baby from her. Out of the compassion of a mother, she threw her bag at the man, a Shiloh came out and I began speaking in tongues from the paper. All the ritual killers fell to the ground, couldn’t stand up. She got a knife by her side that was to be used to slaughter them: she used the knife to cut the rope and cut for 17 other people. They all walked into liberty. This morning, no flier distributed this week shall be wasted.
Stretch forth your hand, stand to your feet:
– Holy Ghost, breathe again upon these fliers. Turn each one to rescue instruments bringing people out of hell into heaven, bringing them out of death to life, bringing them out of sin to righteousness.
– Breathe upon our tracts, breathe upon our fliers.
– Thank You Father and blessed be your name in Jesus precious name.
Nothing works without faith and testimonies are faith boosters. Every flier that goes through you to anyone will produce results.
How many agree that God hates waste? It is His money, it is His paper, It is His acts that we are advertising, it is His Church that we are promoting, so God is overly committed.
– In the name of the Lord Jesus, these fliers of ‘Exemption’ along with other tracts that are on in circulation right now shall produce the best of results that we have ever had.
– If anybody throws it, smile at him: God bless you.
– If anybody tore it: somebody will gather it and gum it to read it. There is nothing to bother yourself about.
– The breath of the Holy Ghost has gone over them and will remain on them and whatever has been circulated between Sunday and now; what will be distributed between now and next Sunday will produce practical results.
– There shall be no room in the inn. He has power to make every flier bring in a person. He has what it takes to make it happen and it will happen.
– Lift up your two hands and give God thanks because it is your season of change.
– It’s your season of change!!
– Somebody’s story is changing.
– Speak to the week everyone.
– Speak to the remaining days of this week: declare them as your bumper harvest week!
