Praise the Lord
Just one Word brought Abraham into limelight. Everyone tonight that is set for the Lord, His Word will locate you.
It will bring you out of obscurity and into the limelight of life in the name of Jesus.
May everyone in this service tonight and everyone connected to this service be visited. May the few moments you are spending be the most memorable one in the precious name of Jesus Christ.
Again welcome to 2021 your year of supernatural turnaround and so shall it be.
Give the Lord a big hand of praise.
Our teaching series for the midweek service for the month of March is captioned
UNVEILING BIBLICAL COVENANT FOR PROFITABLE LIVING
Jesus came to empower us for profitable living, ‘I have come that you might have life and have it at it’s best’. He came to give us life and life more abundantly and so He has given us all things richly to enjoy not to endure.
We are not redeemed to endure living, we are redeemed to enjoy living. Whatever makes life unenjoyable for anyone here tonight God will turn it around.
We serve a Covenant keeping God and not a Father Christmas God. All provisions of the Kingdom have conditions attached if you are interested in realizing them. As free as salvation is there’s a condition to meet to be saved. Men and brethren what shall we do? He said ‘Repent and be baptized in the name of the Lord and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost’. Repent.
Many people today in the body of Christ have only appropriated salvation, they have not experienced it because the condition has not been met. At what point did you repent of your sins and accepted Christ to your life and began to live in the newness of life? It is never late to live right. Your Father is a frontline believer, dedicated to Christ, that does not make you a Christian. My wife is burning for the Lord, that does not make you a Christian.
New birth demands your personal repentance and conversion. The evidence is that you will be filled with the Holy Ghost as a free gift of the Father. As free as salvation is there is what to do to be saved. There is always what to do
That young man came to Jesus, ‘What shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said ‘Ye know the commandments’. You need to get to the level where you ask ‘What must I do to get out of this unwanted situation?
It takes meekness to live a profitable life in the Kingdom. Blaming God for your situation and my situation is not wisdom. God is not behind our troubles, He is our deliverer from our troubles. Job made that mistake and he can be pardoned because he had no Bible that time. Job thought that it was God that was afflicting him. But the Bible says ‘Then went forth satan and smote Job’. But the good news tonight is that God is not to blame for whatever or whatever situation we may find around our lives but He is committed to bailing us out of them and everyone here shall be out of every unwanted situation in his life.
Every provision of the Kingdom is available to whosoever will meet the conditions attached. God is no respecter of persons.
So wisdom is doing what the Word says to do concerning any matter of interest and when we do that the promise graduates into a Covenant that is binding God to perform.
Every truth of Scriptures is valid for all types, valid for all ages, and applicable to whosoever believes.
My prayer for us is that we will wake up to take responsibility and watch how things will begin to turn in your favour day in, day out and so shall it be in the name of Jesus Christ.
One of the great offers of redemption is the royalty of the redeemed.
Revelation 5:9-10
Redemption does not recognize where you come from. When you are saved you have a common heritage, wether you are white or black, a common heritage.
So we are redeemed into royalty, we are redeemed to reign not to be enslaved. We are redeemed out of slavery to royalty. We are redeemed to have dominion in the journey of life.
Interestingly we discover also that if you be in Christ you are Abraham’s seed, because every child of God is a seed of Abraham.
Genesis 17:5-7
So if you be in Christ then you are Abraham’s seed according to the promise. Every child of God is redeemed for royalty, every seed of Abraham is redeemed a king or a nation so men and women like nations will begin to rise in these last days. You know the Word says by reason of light a little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation, ‘I the Lord will hasten it in its time so it is ordained for the end time for the royalty of God’s people to begin to make manifest in all areas of their endeavors’.
Therefore let this renew your mentality because as a man thinks in his heart so is He.
What does it take to realize my royal destiny in Christ?
We saw severally from Scriptures how wisdom supernaturally enthrones. We saw it in Joseph.
Genesis 41:38-44
Joseph was supernaturally enthroned by wisdom. We saw also Daniel enthroned by wisdom. The kind heard what happened, saw what was displayed, he bowed down and worshipped Daniel. Daniel took over in his land of captivity as a royalty. Daniel took over by wisdom.
There is coming a manifold wisdom of God in these last days that will reposition believers to their place in destiny. Your royalty will not be lost to carelessness.
By that singular act of the manifestation of the wisdom of God in Joseph, the Bible says in
Psalms 105:17-22
They will and for you.
They sent for Joseph, they sent for Daniel, they will send for you.
I see God establishing your royalty in these days of difficulty.
The king made him ruler of his house. He made him lord of his house and ruler of all his substance.
You discover from our Sunday teaching series, this wisdom we are talking about is not found in the land of the living. You can’t get at it with money. It is not available in any school of learning. It is from above that empowers people to be above all.
My prayer is that your access to that wisdom will never be blocked.
Please note, this is not abrakadabra wisdom, it is not manipulative wisdom, it’s not deceptive wisdom, it is pure wisdom, explainable wisdom, followable wisdom. Nuggets.
I was sharing with one of my close persons, I said hey ‘We have not succeeded by tricks’. If we succeed by tricks we will soon be trapped, it is a matter of time. We have triumphed by truth and very simply it is not something you don’t know what it looks like or how to get at it. ‘Whosoever hears these sayings of mine and doeth them, I liken him unto a wise man who builds his house on the rock and there came the wind, the storm and the rain beat against that house and it fell not because it was founded upon the rock’.
Wisdom in the Kingdom is simply applied truth. Now let’s look at what it takes to apply if we must experience true enthronement.
From the testimony of Jesus servant-hood is fundamental to leadership. ‘I am in your midst as one that serves’. That was the testimony of Jesus.
Luke 22:25-27
He remembered His promise to Abraham His servant. He said concerning Job, ‘Have you considered My servant Job? There is none like him on the earth. He said concerning David, My servant, with My Holy oil have I anointed Him. Genuine servant-hood is gateway to enthronement.
In this case serving God and the interest of His Kingdom is gateway to the enthronement of the saints.
Enthronement is your heritage in Christ but one of the conditions for our enthronement is servant-hood. In order of priority serving God and the interest of His Kingdom empowers believers for enthronement.
It’s dedication to God.
If any man serve me let him follow this mistery. Only dedicated believers ends up distinguished. Not off and on. Playing uncle and aunty to God, choosing what to obey from what He tells you to do. They don’t go far with that. Show me a believer that is truly dedicated to God is on his way to his high places. Truly dedicated to God and to the interest of His Kingdom is on his way to his high places. Like Bishop Benson Idahosa would say ‘A lizard will not become an alligator in America’. Your making is in you. A failure in Nigeria who doesn’t know what to do to succeed will be a blatant failure in Europe, a pitiable failure in America, a miserable one in Asia. It’s in you. The making of every man is in Him.
I said something humorously, I said ‘It doesn’t matter who leaves me or leaves the ministry, you can’t leave with what is in me, you can’t. That’s why nothing has caused me to diminish one bit. It’s in you. The making of every man is in him. You can’t take what I know from me. You can’t take my covenant with God from me.
Sir it hasn’t caused me one day to pray that somebody left. I can tell you here before the most high God that I have not diminished one bit in forty years and it’s not guess work. I called our team of people in those days, in 1984 in Kaduna October 3rd, I said ‘Now that we are on the same level understand what I’m saying because a time is coming when some of us will be up in the air and and they’ll start saying ‘we don’t even know what they’re using’. I say let me tell you what I’m using’, we’re sold out to God. Were you in that meeting? I knew where dedicated people are going, I knew, no guess work.
Now just press this name on any social media platform, among what you find there is the richest pastor in the world, not in Nigeria. Amen. Praise God.
Today by the grace of God we have the largest cell system running in the entire world. Last Saturday we had 1065 new cells added to our cell system. Amen. It’s in you. Your making is in you. My team has brought over 24,0000 souls to Christ this year, over 3,000 have registered in Church. It’s in you. It’s not in a friend, it’s not in an enemy. It’s in you. Can any enemy gang up against your salvation? Only you can hang up against it. It’s in you and me. That should help you take responsibility.
I knew dedication distinguishes people. Now 1979 I was sharing with our brethren and I said ‘Hey the time of brethren let’s go is gone. I can’t wait for you and waste my life. I know where I’m going, I’m going somewhere’.
May you not sell your birthright to careless living. We are not going to Heaven group by group, we are going one by one.
Wake up and take responsibility.
Some said ‘they have buried cows’, cows are very cheap, go and buy.
Is there any day on this earth that prayer is not going on in Canaanland? Night and day. That’s the cow we are burying. Amen.
Watch I have 32 persons on my personal staff that are joining me in my outreach that I pay. ‘We don’t even know what they’re using’, that’s what I’m using.
I’ve bought my way to the heart of Jesus. He lavishes me with favour day and night.
You are the the next in line.
It was favour that enthroned Joseph. That wisdom only had expression through favour. If there was no favour in the house of Potiphar he won’t get there. If there was no favour in the prison he won’t get there. Favour answer to those who favour God and the interest of His Kingdom.
My prayer is that somebody here will recover his crown tonight and begin to take responsibility over the demands of his enthronement.
Somebody’s story is changing and that’s your story.
We are celebrating the diamond jubilee of my son. Amen.
The Hallmark of this young man is servant-hood. Somebody said what is it that endears him to you? We share too many common virtues. I know how many years you have been around. You know I don’t flatter, I tell you the blatant truth any moment. Go you go, stop you stop. If I tell you the way God drives me you would have escaped to Heaven.
When you are prompt in obedience to God’s Word you are heading for your high places.
So I thank God for your life and like we said because time is always running.
Grace to keep it up.
Grace to keep up my walk with God I also desire it tonight.
Uzziah was on with God for 52 years after which he lost his place.
You won’t lose your place.
Eli was there for 40 years, he lost his place. You won’t lose your place.
Saul was king of Israel for 40 years. He missed it.
You won’t miss it.
King Asa was there for 20 years, he lost out. You won’t lose out.
So grace for steadfastness and continuity everybody needs it. By the help of God I continued till this day.
Nobody has ever encouraged me to keep doing what I’m doing and nobody has succeeded to discourage me.
Everybody needs grace for continuity and fervency, not religious continuity.
The top is open and free but everyone has to make his way there. It’s open, it’s real. He said ‘If you do what I ask you to do I will set you on high above all nations’.
I saw that in 1984 and that was when I said I will consider it a demotion if I were invited to be the president of Nigeria. It’s a great nation but that’s not my calling. A great nation no doubt. My nation is not a nation of mean consideration but what I saw was beyond the nation. I saw beyond the nation sir. Amen.
This is not a platform to say things that have happened over time but God never lies. Of what He said is what you are doing in truth.
My prayer tonight is that the grace for acceptable servant-hood, grace for sustainable servant-hood , grace for life long servant-hood receive it tonight in the name of Jesus.
‘Whosoever will be chief among you let him be the servant of all’.
It is how much you serve that determines how much you are placed.
How much you give yourself to service is what determines how high in place God will ever put you and me. So let’s stay committed.
As I close tonight in
Mark 4:39-33
We have the story of the mustard seed,it is said to be the tiniest seed on the earth but when it is sown, it groweth up and throws out great branches and the field of the air come to make their nest in it.
Where you are now is a stepping stone to your enthronement. Just get sown, get dedicated to your God, get dedicated to His assignment in your hand and watch how He enthrones you without sweat.
Something is breaking forth in your life and so shall it be.
Lift up your right hand and give God thanks. Thank You Jesus in Jesus precious name we have given thanks. Give the Lord Jesus a big big hand. Amen.
Among other things what the Word does is to renew our mind. No matter your background, redemption guarantees you royalty. No matter your background redemption enthrones you for enthronement.
You are not redeemed a beggar, you are not redeemed a nuisance, you are not redeemed a burden but a blessing.
As a child of God you are redeemed to reign. As a seed of Abraham you are a king, there’s no peasant in that lineage. So your story must change.
In your business you will reign.
In your career you will reign in the name of Jesus.
Please lift up your two hands to Heaven and ask God for grace for sustainable stewardship, grace for sustainable servant-hood, grace for sustainable obedience to the commandments of the Lord, grace for sustainable dedication. Everyone of us needs it. No one here will miss his steps.
You will make it to the end.
You will make Heaven at the end.
You must make Heaven at the end.
Ask God for sustainable grace not just to make Heaven but to make Heaven with a crown waiting for you.
Thank You Jesus. Blesses be Your name in Jesus precious name.
The communion empowers a believer to live like Christ, spirit, soul and body.
So whatever is not like Christ in your life ask that by this communion it will be rooted out forever.
Can you imagine living in sin? By the power of the Blood sin shall be destroyed in your life.
Can you imagine sickness ravaging the body of Christ? In the name of Jesus every sickness is rooted out of your life tonight.
Can imagine Jesus being oppressed by the devil? Nightmares, spirit husband, spirit wife?
Now by this communion tonight every oppression of the devil comes to an end in your life.
Can you imagine Jesus a failure in business? A failure in marriage? Can you imagine Jesus a failure in His career? Whatever is unlike Jesus in the life of any of us comes to an end. It comes to an end tonight.
Jesus was all out doing the will of the Father, whatever makes anyone here rebel against the Word of God that siege is over tonight.
Every seed of pride, He said ‘Come to me, I am weak and lowly in heart’, the man Moses was very meek. Our enthronement cannot be higher than our meekness, therefore every seed of pride growing inside anyone in the corner of his heart, as you partake of this communion it it rooted out of your life.
Before honour is humility, you will never suffer shame anymore in the name of Jesus and so shall it be.
Lift up your two hands, whatever you personally desire that is not mentioned call for it right now.
No more a victim of misfortune.
No more a victim of pity.
No more a victim of shame.
Whatever you can’t imagine in Christ is not permitted in your life in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
You’ll have your best sleep tonight.
You will wake up in the morning a band new being.
Everyone’s taste for every form of ungodliness, that taste dies tonight in the name of Jesus.
Bitterness is rooted out of your heart tonight.
Hatred is rooted out of your heart tonight.
Because it cannot be found in Christ it can never be found in your life anymore. Thank You Heavenly Father.
Expect your instant healing.
Expect your instant rescue.
Expect your instant deliverance in Jesus name.
So shall it be in the name of Jesus.
