Glory to God!
This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Welcome to another day and another time in the presence of the Lord. Welcome to morning glow. I am alive, you are alive. God kept us, He protected us, He kept you by His mighty power. You are alive today not because of your wisdom or strength or who you are but because of who He is.
We return the glory to Him, we return the praise to him. He deserves the glory, He deserves the honour, He deserves the adoration.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, we magnify you this morning. Awesome God, mighty God, great God, glorious God. Healer, our deliverer, our joy, our salvation, our provider. The surprising supriser; for where we think there is no way, you make a way. You are awesome, you are mighty, you are glorious, you are powerful. Take all the glory in Jesus name.
Hallelujah!
Early in the morning glow already, I am seeing a revelation; there is somebody on this altar what God is going to do for you, I saw not that you were building a house, you were building an estate. Awesome, so powerful. I receive that too for myself. It was a whole estate, so busy, people were working. I saw people at the construction site, I saw line of houses. Wow! Oh, praise the Lord, glory to God.
This morning there will be a word that will be spoken into your life that is direct and precise. I pray for everyone this morning you will experience grace, you will experience favour, you will experience blessings, the heavens will open up for you and you will have reasons to magnify the Lord and to praise the name of our God in Jesus name.
This morning for the benefit of those who are just joining us, we have been praying for supernatural progress in this season of our lives. Also, for many of you we need to just remind you that we are celebrating one year of the morning glow. During the darkest hour in the world the Lord spoke to me that we should start to just speak and God truly showed you and I mercy. It was mercy that brought us this far.
For all those our friends, family and relations whom we lost during that period, we still know that it was mercy, it was mercy, it was mercy. I pray for many of you that God will continue to strengthen you. No matter how many spikes that broke out in the world, I declare and decree that God covers you, protects you and keeps you in the name of Jesus.
HOW DO I MAKE PROGRESS?
I share with us how Isaac made progress. God wants you to make progress too.
- You need to find your blueprint for success. God created man and woman and said to them be fruitful and multiply, replenish and subdue the earth. So, they were equipped from day one for success. You are equipped for success.
Let me go as far as saying that sometimes the geography of where we are born can influence the degree of our success but many times also success is a choice. You were packaged to succeed but a person can choose to fail and you may say hey, Pastor Matthew, that is a bit strong. Suppose I’ve tried my best? Yeah sometimes you just need the right information.
God did not only equip you to succeed, He expected you to succeed. You are not born to fail you are born to win. Everything about your design was with winning in His planning. So, whether you fail or succeed, your choice has to do a lot with it.
Interestingly truth about winning or failing is that; there is no much difference between success and failure, it’s all about choice making. I pray for you today that you will make the right choice, the right decision in the name of Jesus.
Two men jumped over the New York bridge. One of them jumped because he was committing suicide having lost 100,000 dollars but the second jumped because he was drunk while celebrating having won 100,000 dollars. So you see, one made a choice to jump because he wanted to commit suicide since he had lost a 100,000 dollars. Another one, he won 100,000 dollars and he jumped and he killed himself. I pray for you today that you will make the right choices and make progress with your life.
Success is possessed in something specific and worthwhile. Success is experiencing something special, something that makes your journey worth the while. That’s why I believe this morning; you will make progress.
Find your blueprint for success. What is blueprint? A master plan. There is a plan for your life. Don’t go after your passion, go after a problem and solve it. That is what makes a man successful. You know, many years ago we used to think, find your passion, find you passion. Don’t find any passion, find some problems and resolve. You will make progress in Jesus name.
Success is reaching your maximum potential at any given time. You are gifted, you are blessed, you are loaded. Your life started as a success, as a winning person right from your mother’s womb so why would you now settle to fail?
Don’t bury your gifts, make progress in life, reach where God is taking you. Remember what I said again; find your blueprint for success if you are going to make progress in life because too many people are busy looking for what made them fail.
Do you know that it’s amazing? Go and check most of our universities, there is a heavy study on poverty and lesser study on why people prosper. There are all kinds of PhDs on poverty, the lack of so-and-so community, the reason this particular race has not done well and no one have postulated what they can do to make progress. No one have brought it out. Even if somebody did it, people wouldn’t read it.
Some guys spent 20 years studying millionaires and they called the book the millionaire next door. Many have never read it because what they did in that book is to show what made millionaires, millionaires. They didn’t give you all, they just showed you what millionaires did. But poverty is easy to study. Success is overcoming problems, setbacks, obstacles, solving a problem.
Booker T Washington, the ex-slave guy who became one of the finest black scholars in the United States of America says; success is to be measured not so much by the position one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.
Martin Luther King, one of the black guys said; to our master, to our most bittered opponent, we say we shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. No just to endure but to bring something out of it. I don’t want to go to war and come back and just be cleaning sweat, I want to come back with the bootees of war, the blessings of war, the breakthrough of war. Glory to God!
Success is working hard and putting in your efforts (Ecclesiastes 9:10). Success is power. It is the power to work right, the power to serve God. Succeed, make progress with your life. Get angry with ‘easy believe-ism’, get angry with average, get angry with anything that tells you to stay in this comfort zone.
Forgive me to say while the welfare system here in the United Kingdom is an absolute life-saver for people in tough times, yet the same life-saver can become a couch for lazy people to sit in. When you give people unemployment benefits, it should only be for a season so that they don’t stay there forever but some people what they do is to look for the systems, see how they can milk the system and never work.
Success is focusing on the future, making progress, being faithful to your God. Loving your family, being an example to your children, helping friends, walking in honesty, in integrity, breaking grounds. Success is productivity. The Bible says be fruitful, multiply, replenish and subdue the earth. Productivity is producing readily, becoming abundant, achieving your goals. I see someone this morning, you will make progress.
- The will to win. If you have no will to win, there is enough to discourage you. (Joshua 1:8) A will to win. This world will crucify you if you allow them. You must have a will, I am going to win. Vince Lombardi one-time greatest coach of American football said winning is not everything, it is the only thing.
Daniel Webster, the author of the dictionary said there is always a room at the top, it is always crowded at the bottom. A Christian power preaching many years ago Van Crouch who was also a coach said the victory will go to the one who didn’t quit.
So this morning we are winning already, you are making progress and as we begin to prophesy into your life this morning, I see you making progress, breaking new grounds, entering new levels because nothing can stop you as the Lord lives. You are making progress in the dimensions, on the levels like you’ve never imagined before in the name of Jesus.
