UNDERSTANDING HOW PRAISE FACILITATES FULFILMENT OF PROPHECIES
Every prophetic Word carries inbuilt capacity for fulfilment. Every prophetic Word carried divine capacity for fulfilment (Isaiah 55:10).
Embrace every prophetic Word with absolute confidence. God never looks for solutions, He creates them. His Words are eternally creative, when we believe what He says, we have committed Him to create it.
“How shall this thing be since I knew not a man”
“Look the power of the Almighty will come upon you and a holy Seed will emerge you inside; you will bring forth a son” (Luke 1:34-35).
There is enough power in what He says to deliver. When we believe what God says about us from His Word and from His anointed prophets who speak by the Word of the Lord, you have committed God to create it.
God speaks according to what He will and can do (Isaiah 14:24). He has sworn, no force from hell can stop my thought and my plan from coming to pass.
That’s why lock down could not stop His agenda of planting 10,000 Churches. It couldn’t stop it!
God began to open up the States one after the other until they were all opened and He had His way without stress.
We also recognise that God speaks according to His capacity not our limitation, not our weakness.
“This time tomorrow, there shall be surplus supply of food on the streets of Samaria” (2 Kings 7:1).
A man, an intelligentsia, special adviser to the king, he said, “stop that nonsense, we are not dummies. I’m in charge of international diplomacy, there is no way food can arrive here tomorrow. You can be saying that in the synagogue but don’t say it here. Look at his nose” (2 Kings 7:2).
The prophet’s anger rose and he said, “you will see it with your eyes but your mouth will not touch it.”
Food came: God has more means than anyone of us can ever discover (2 Kings 7:16). We serve an unlimited God with unlimited channels. He creates solutions, He doesn’t look for them, He doesn’t prepare them, He creates them.
When He saw the earth was void and without shape, He created the world He desired by speaking it. He is not in our class, God will never be in the class of man!
He said, “He would build this Tabernacle in 1982.” He stepped to order its building in 1998, He completed it in one year. God is not in our class. If we didn’t believe Him, we have incapacitated Him, He can’t do it, for there shall only be performance of those things which are spoken by the Lord as you believe Him (Luke 1:45).
These are all features of prophecy that we need to understand:
God is not asking us to do it, He is telling us what He can and will do if we believe Him.
He is telling us according to what He is able to deliver. He is not asking you, you can’t do it.
I will say it forever: this Church didn’t build this place, the raw hand of God. You don’t do a thing like this without a budget. The raw hand of God!
That raw hand (of God) is available to everybody.
When you believe that report, He stretches forth His hand (Isaiah 53:1).
The good news is, you won’t miss that raw hand anymore in your walk with God.
We have emphasized over and again but let’s be reminded: until a prophetic Word is received, it never gets fulfilled. Until a seed is sown in the earth, it can never bear fruits.
Until a prophetic Word is sown in your good and honest heart, not scornful heart, “well, we heard that also last year. I’ve been here now about 10 years; we hear this every year: No one shall bury his child but somebody buried his child the other time.” That’s not a candidate that will see prophecies fulfilled in their lives.
You’ll never find any word of God fulfilled in your life that you scorn, that you despise, that you deride. No!
A good and honest heart, received the Word and choose to believe it, kept at it and begins to bring forth fruit with patience (Luke 8:15).
No unplanted seed will ever bear fruits; no un-received prophetic Word will ever get fulfilled.
Every Word of scripture is a spiritual seed and the words of scriptures are essentially prophetic (2 Peter 1:19). Until this seed is received in our good and honest hearts, they never see the light of day.
How do we know the prophetic word that we have received?
Every prophetic Word received engraces us to keep going in our walk with God. It engraces us for steadfastness in our walk with God.
It keeps us on our feet, it keeps us going with God, with all sincerity, with all genuineness. (Ezekiel 2:2). No short cuts, no gimmicks, no games.
Prophetic words propel us in our walk with God, it motivates us in our walk with God.
A Word came forth to the valley of dry bones and a mighty army arose on their feet; on the go; subduing nations and kingdoms (Ezekiel 37:10).
It empowers us, engraces us to get on our feet and keep us going.
I have received by the grace of God, a lot of prophetic Words from scriptures that keeps me going naturally.
I saw in 1970 that I have been redeemed as a king and as a priest to reign on the earth (Revelation 5:10). Anytime I would want to go out, I would check whether a king goes out like this or not; If I was not satisfied, I would go back to change. I was 16 years old.
I saw a huge Church, mammoth crowd and we couldn’t fill 300 capacity hall, but I saw it. It kept us going and see where grace has brought us.
Prophetic Words keep us going, gets us on our feet.
– You will never drop off this race all through your life.
– You will be hitting surprises from heaven from henceforth.
– Just remain on the go for God and you find Him bringing His word to pass one after another in your life, in the name of Jesus Christ.
In the same vein, prophetic Words received keeps our zeal for God ever burning (Acts 2:30-31). You can imagine the level of zeal at work in David by access to God’s prophetic agenda, it kept him going (Psalm 55:17, Psalm 119:164, Psalm 34:1, Psalm 84:1,10, Psalm 132:4-5).
That was the kind of life that David lived: an ever burning zeal for Jesus. By embracing God’s prophetic agenda, it kept his zeal for God burning (Psalm 119:46).
These are vital proofs of the prophetic word you have genuinely received.
Our counsellor asked me, “David, what are you looking forward to in your marriage?”
I said: hitch free marriage.
He said, “how do you mean?” and I shared with him, “we’ve been in courtship for some time and it has been wonderful.”
He said: look David, let me tell you something. When you are apart, it is difficult to step on one another’s toes but when you are together it is impossible not to step on one another’s toes.
I said: Sir, you and I are sitting on the same chair. Why am I not stepping on your toes? Because he said it’s impossible. Two reasons: I’m not blind; I’m not wicked.
He said: Okay!
I have not had one prayer item in my life to make marriage work. In my entire life! God knows I won’t have time for such things so He prepared me for it. Absolutely tension free.
Any prophetic word you received keeps you going.
Since I received the prophetic word of Matthew chapter 6 verse 33, you can’t stop me. When you insult me, I’m energized. You know when you attack concrete with water, it strengthens it.
You are vey stupid: I get excited because the preaching of the gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing. That’s your view.
The foolish man says there is no God: that’s your view and I’m not the one who called you foolish, it is God who said it. No reaction.
‘Gbenu soun’ (keep shut): I carry my mouth somewhere else.
You better wake up: all this, ‘ehn, I don’t even feel like going to Church today.”
At this point in your life!
Before you wake up and go to ‘Ogboni’ cult.
– You will never tell the story in your life, “when you used to serve God.”
– You will serve your God to the end: your children will serve God more than you. Your grandchildren will serve God much more than your children. Your lineage shall be known as a Jesus lineage in the name of Jesus.
An example of prophecy fulfilled through praise:
We saw how Hezekiah received a verdict of death over his life and how he turned to God (Isaiah 38:1-6).
The Lord was ready to heal me, therefore we will sing my songs to facilitate the healing; we will sing my songs to see that prophetic word fulfilled (Isaiah 38:20).
Praise facilitates the fulfilment of prophecy, we saw how God stepped in and got rid of those tormenting forces in his body.
God is ready to deliver your ‘Breaking Limits’ package, therefore sing your song:
– Sing like you have never sang in your life today.
– Dance like you have never danced in your life today because the Lord is set to deliver the balance of your ‘Breaking Limit’ package. Amen.
Just like Abraham (Romans 4:20).
COVENANT DAY OF EXEMPTION
I had this awesome visitation yesterday and I’ll like to share that with you (Ezekiel 33:30-33)
– May prophetic words not be reduced to mere songs in your ears. Otherwise you will just be entertained by it, it will add no value to your life.
Somebody would say, “I know when he is talking today, he will say no one shall die.” It has become like a song to them. Yet somebody else caught it from Australia at the same time; just swimming in it and enjoying the reality of it.
Ezekiel 33:33
In declaring your prophetic ‘Breaking Limit’ package, the first thing is God was out to plant 10,000 Churches this year. We have never seen it, we have never heard of it but He did it.
Your entire being was created in one day, it won’t take one day to fix you, to repair you, to restore you. One week is too long.
Don’t let this this become like a song in your ears. If anybody said, “we will build this Tabernacle in one year.” On all technical facts, it was impossible, but with God nothing shall be impossible (Luke 1:37, Mark 10:27).
– Your package is ready for delivery if you will do what it takes to take delivery.
The one week remaining is too much!
He said, “this time tomorrow, I will turn situations around”: did he do it or not? Has He changed?
– Somebody will take a step this week that God will swear a verdict of ‘this time tomorrow’.
– Somebody will pray some prayers this week that God will release a verdict of ‘this time tomorrow’.
– Somebody will reach out to the lost as directed by the Lord and will receive a verdict of ‘this time tomorrow’.
The greatest events of things that demand resources in this ministry, we were not privileged to prepare for it.
There was no budget for this building. There was no budget for the aircraft. We had concluded the budget for the year when He said He would plant 10,000 Churches, so it’s not part of the budget.
10,000 rooms (one room and parlour), you know what it means. To now talk about houses for Pastors, facilities for Church: all paid for, we are not owing anybody anywhere!
By redemption, we are not permitted to suffer what the world around us suffers because we are a peculiar people, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, we are chosen to show forth the praises of God, not the pities of God: The praises of God who has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light. (1 Peter 2:9).
We are redeemed to live a life of marvels, a life to be wondered at.
One of us here had a store in Satellite town (Lagos) where they had the fire outbreak. It burnt all the shops on this side, jumped her shop, burnt all the ones on this side; her own was left alone: peculiar to live a life of marvels. That’s your lifestyle in redemption.
The most practical of all this is the…testimony in Port Harcourt after Shiloh ‘My case is different.’ He went to a car wash and there was this inferno. Vehicles were burnt here and there. His vehicle was in the midst of the fire untouched. Everybody was wondering, “who is this person?”
Many Policemen gave their lives to Christ that day. Even his car was exempted, how much more your life!
Why is this so important? The world is under stress, the economy is in crisis but your case is different.
Remember there were certain definite exemptions in Egypt (Exodus 8:20-24):
– We had a swarm of flies that plagued Egypt except the houses where the Israelites dwelt. The word ‘flies’ connote decadence and stench.
– We had a death of cattle which connotes collapse of business and careers but there was not one cattle that belonged the children of Israel that died (Exodus 9:1-7). They were exempted.
– We had the plague of tempest mingled with fire which connote destruction and devastation (Exodus 9:18-26).
All we need is to keep the love of God alive in us, in our hearts (Psalm 91:14).
Every Word you receive, entitles you to the stretching forth of God’s hand.
* I see God’s hand of exemption on your forehead today.
* From now, your eyes shall not see evil anymore. So shall it be.
