- Going Higher Part 5 at RCCG Special Sunday Service with Pastor E. A. Adeboye.
1 Kings 17:1-2
The Word of the Lord came to Elijah. The first thing to learn here is that;
- The Word of the Lord is a traveller, it is powerful, very quick, very sharp.
Hebrews 4:12
John 6:63 - The Word of the Lord is very effective, Isaiah 55:10-11.
- The Word of the Lord is very dependable, Psalm 119:89.
- The Word of the Lord can travel and when it arrives, it can heal, it can deliver,
Psalm 107:20.
If you are going higher, you need the Word of the Lord to come to you frequently and when it does, one of the things it will do is to heal you. You can’t climb when you are sick. You need the Word of the Lord to enjoy divine health.
- You need the Word of the Lord when you don’t know what to do next. Elijah delivered the Word of the Lord, what next? In the journey of life, as you climb higher and higher, there will be a moment when you have to take a decision and many times, you don’t know what to do next, Isaiah 30:21.
I am praying for every one of you hearing the Word of God today, l pray this Word brings you healings, I pray it sets you free from any yoke holding you captive and l am praying that, this same Word will tell you what next to do. - You need to hear the Word of God regularly because the moment you begin to rise, you will attract attention and quite a few of the attention will not be friendly ones.
Genesis 37:1-36, Joseph had no problems until he began to dream and he shared his dreams.
Matthew 10:36, many of the enemies that will come against you will be members of your family.
In 1 Samuel 17:17-37, the moment David was anointed king, opposition came from within and without.
- You need the Word of God when your star begins to rise because you will need God’s direction as to how to deal with these oppositions.
2 Samuel 5:17-25, as soon as the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king, they decided to raise up an army and fight him. David asked God for help and the Word of God came to him. You need the Word of God to tell you how to handle situations.
- You need the Word of God when you suddenly run into a roadblock because in your journey to higher grounds, there are bound to be roadblocks and in the process, you might look behind you and discover that the enemies are closing in on you.
Exodus 14:1-31
Once your star begins to rise, you will run into opposition, the kind that may want to cause you to lose what you have gained this far.
Some of you may remember that when we began the Holy Ghost Service, it wasn’t long before we attracted the attention even of the Federal Government of that time. All of a sudden the Federal Minister of Roads made an announcement that he was going to close down Redemption Camp, we were still very little. The Minister was in charge of Roads and Works, he came to the camp with the intention of announcing that we will not hold any meeting here again. We thank God that the Word of the Lord came and the matter was resolved.
- You need to hear the Word of the Lord when it appears that your progress has come to an abrupt stop.
Joshua 5:10-15, Joshua was standing by the Wall of Jericho. The children of Israel needed to move forward, thank God the Word of the Lord came, Joshua 6;1-27, God gave specific instructions to Joshua.
Has your progress been stopped, I pray that the Word of the Lord will come to you now and tell you when to shout so that as you shout, the Wall of Jericho blocking your way will come down flat.
- You need the Word of God when there is someone inside your camp sabotaging your effort. Someone you don’t know that is steadily causing problems for you so that your progress will come to a complete standstill.
Joshua 7, 8. Joshua and the children of Israel had just won a great battle against the wall of Jericho. They got to a little town Ai and they discovered mighty defeat. Joshua fell before God and the Word of the Lord came to him.
I pray for those of you whose projects have been stagnated over the years, in the Mighty name of Jesus Christ, you will hear a word today that will show you where the problem lies.
They discovered that it was someone from within that was causing the problem, Achan. God told Joshua to get rid of him and the problems will be over. Joshua 7 and 8.
When we had the first Congress, Lekki 98′, God sent help from all over, people were falling over one another to contribute to the success of the program. Things went very well. With that progress, we went for Congress 99′ at the Camp and I discovered that everyone who made a pledge refused to pay. I asked God, why is it that money is not coming in? What have l done wrong that l am facing total defeat? God spoke, He said some people are stealing. How? I made enquires, I discovered the thieves, got rid of them and money began to flow again and l was able to do Congress 99′, 2000 and the Congress is still going on.
I pray for everyone of you, every plant God have not planted in your home, business, churches, the Almighty God Himself will uproot, He will reveal and judge.
- You need to hear from God when it appears as if each time you are at the edge of a major breakthrough, something happens and you begin to walk round in circles, you need the Word of God. When you have the breakthrough almost within your grasp, then it will slip, you now go back to ground zero.
John 5:2-9, the man by the pool of Bethesda.
In the name of the Almighty God that l serve, this particular year will be a mighty one for you, that thing you have been hoping for, you will get it this year.
This man discovered while he was lying down there, the Lord paid him a visit.
In the Name that is above every other name, l am issuing a decree on behalf of my Father, to all of you going round in circles, get up and go to higher grounds.
- You need the Word of God when everyone seem determined to hold you down.
Mark 10:46-52 (the story of blind Bartimaeus) I pray that the Almighty God will send a word to you today and pull you out of those forces holding you down.
When am l going to hear the Word of God? If you are a child of God, the Word has already come to you today. If you are not yet a child of God, the Word has come to you too a long ago, Matthew 11:28-30. Come, surrender your life to Jesus Christ, let Him hold you and begin to lift you higher. Will you respond or will you not? If you want to respond, wherever you are now bow your head and say Lord, save my soul, receive me today and l will serve you for the rest of my life.
Pray to Him today that from this moment onward, the Word of God will be coming to you steadily.
