‘THE WONDERS OF HIS KINGDOM’ at RCCG Special Sunday Service.
Matthew 11:12
The violence that is involved is not the type you fight with guns because He made it clear in 2 Corinthians 10:4.
He is talking about a different kind of violence.
He expects anyone who will be able to force his/her way in the Kingdom of God to be a man or woman of:
1. Violent Faith.
Hebrews 11:6
– Mark 2:1-11 (the paralyzed man brought to Christ by four men)
– 2 Kings 4:8-37 (the woman of Shunem)
– Mark 5:25-34 (the woman with the issue of blood)
These people had violent faith.
I believe that someone listening to me will develop that faith and say before this sermon is over, l will receive my miracle and so shall it be in Jesus name.
2. Violent Prayers: God can hear your thoughts but then again, He said you should call on Him. To call, you will open your mouth
Psalm 50:14-15
Jeremiah 33:3
Genesis 32:24-28 (Jacob wrestling with the Angel)
– The kind of prayer you say to the Almighty God, you have to answer me today, l will not let you go. The kind of prayer in Mark 10:46-52.
I decree in the name of the Almighty God that your day will come today.
– The kind of prayer that you will say, l have my opportunity today and l am not going to miss it. The kind of prayer that will stop everything the Lord is doing until you are attended to.
I wish you pray today to the extent that the Almighty God will say go and bring him for Me.
Matthew 15:21-28
How much have you prayed for that your child that is going astray?
– The kind of prayer in Joshua 10:12-14.
Maybe today is the day the tide will turn as you pray the violent prayer.
I pray that everyone of you listening to me will pray the violent prayer you have never prayed before.
3. Violent Praise: Psalm 47:1. The kind of shout that will pull down the walls of Jericho, Joshua 5 and 6.
According to Joshua 6:20 the people’s shout caused the wall to crumble.
I have a feeling that somebody will have a major breakthrough and that will happen when they shout.
2 Chronicles 20:1-25
As you shout today, everything hidden in you, every plant my Father did not plant will be rooted out.
4. Violent Confrontation with the Forces of Darkness:
James 4:7
1 Peter 5:8-9
The devil will not leave you alone, you are to put up a fight.
Mark 16:17.
How you speak to the devil will tell the devil that you have the authority to send him packing.
2 Kings 1:9-14
I believe that many of us are misunderstanding the statement of the Almighty God that we are to be as harmless as a dove. You are not supposed to attack anyone but He says if someone is trying to mess around with your destiny, you deal with the situation.
Acts 5:1-11
Anyone who will not allow me to do the work God has assigned to me is a mountain that needs to be moved.
Matthew 15:13
Some of us allow suffering, the reason we are still in pain is because the devil has somehow convinced us that we can live with it. As God lives, l will no longer allow pains or diseases.
5. Violent Sacrifice: Many times when we talk about giving to God people think we want their money. Silver and gold belongs to Him. Everything you have belongs to Him.
– 1 Kings 17:8-24 ( the widow of Zarephath)
– Genesis 22:1-18 (God tested Abraham)
Every time God asks you to do something for Him, He is setting you up for a blessing.
6. Violent Self Discipline: 2 Timothy 2:3-4. As a solider of Christ, you must endure hardness. God is not looking for sugar babies but for tough people.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
2 Corinthians 11:27
2 Timothy 2:22
Matthew 5:29-30
1 Peter 4:18
Everywhere there is a treasure, there is always restricted entry. Treasures are in heaven and it is worth paying any price for. Bow your heads and ask Him to help you make it to heaven.
Lord please receive those crying to you for salvation and draw them close to yourself and those of us already on the way, keep us running.
God bless you!
