We will be celebrating Morning Glow all through this week and possibly some days next week. We want you to take the time to invite your friends. Let them be part of the healing, the starting of the day. Fresh, new, alive with the Word from the Lord. No better way than to eat good breakfast of the Spirit.
This morning I pray for you that you will be blessed of the Lord and as we celebrate one year of been together on this platform, there will be something to celebrate in your life, in your destiny in the name of Jesus.
Here we are coming to the end of the first quarter of the year and so God wants you to continue to make progress. The path of the just man shines unto a brighter day. In Genesis 26:1-22, we have an interesting story of Isaac. An amazing story of supernatural progress. Also, for the benefits of those who may not know KICC, the Word of the Lord for KICC this year is the year of progress and plenty.
So, in Genesis 26:1-22 is like often times a famine precipitate a breakthrough in the Scriptures. After God may have promised one of His patriarchs or His people that I am going to bless you, then a famine comes. You have to learn from that. Every time you receive a prophetic word, a word that really blesses you, one Sunday morning your pastor is smoking with the fire of the Holy Ghost, get ready. That word will be tested in your life. You are the one who will not give the room to the enemy but rather say; okay… I know what you are trying to do. I am glad that God prepared me to let me know that I am above before you try to take me below.
So, when the famine comes, it is not a sign that God can’t do it. It is just a preparatory ground for God to show His power. Hallelujah!
So, Isaac packed his bag. You know when there is famine in an area or war, people carried their bags. The first thing that happens to people is survival then they go to wherever they are going to and now rebuild their lives. Same thing Isaac began to pack his bags and the Lord said do not move. Stay where you are. I want to prosper you in this place where they said there is nothing. I want to show you that it isn’t just geographical location, it is the one whom you followed.
Isaac stay and so he prosper that year. Amazingly he had 100% return on every seed he dropped. If you know anything about agriculture, that’s almost impossible if you are doing either broadcast sowing or actual sowing. Broadcasting sowing is when you have to just throw the seed but actual is when you open the ground and put the seed in.
God was behind all of the seed Isaac sowed and there was 100% harvest. I received that for someone on this altar this morning. So God’s intention for your life is for the present year to be better than last year and next year to be better than this year. That is progress.
The Bible says Isaac sowed and he had 100% and then the Bible says the man went forward and increase the more. In fact, Isaac then became the distributor of everything in that peninsula. If you wanted grain to eat, you bought from Isaac. You wanted seeds to plant, you bought from Isaac. You wanted water for your cattle, you came to Isaac’s well. That’s why there was seasoned well for him not knowing that it was a covenant that made the well to be filled with water when their own wells were dry.
When you are with God, listen, never let your wilderness season, never let your dry season, never let your valley seasons make you think God is not good. God is too good. He is too awesome. Don’t use an occasion to measure an eternal God. Never use one or two occasions in your life to measure a God that is eternal. He is not limited by time or space.
You will make progress in Jesus name. A life without progress is burdensome. Living becomes tremendous and exciting when there is progress. Progress is really your right as a believer, may you make progress in Jesus name. Your calling is to make progress from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). The instinct to succeed and not fail was put in you by God.
God wants you to make progress and wax great. You will make progress in Jesus name. Yesterday I shared with us some of the enemies of our progress and the first enemy of our progress is us not forgetting past achievements. We are so engrossed in what we did last year that we miss what we should do this year.
God’s agender is to lift you above all nations, to bless you, to prosper you. Progress is retarded by an attitude that says I am already okay, I am already there. You know when I teach the master class, one of my research showed that the reason why some people never enter the realm of millions is that when they have a large amount of money they just feel oh wow! This is amazing, I never thought I will reach here and so they never reach the next level.
Progress is you learning to not put a bar from seeing where God is pushing you to. Happy with where you are but not totally happy to stay there, packing your bag and moving on. Glory to God.
The next enemy why many never make progress is past mistakes and mess-ups. They become huge enemies of our future (Isaiah 43:18-19). Forgetting past mistakes and mess-ups is necessary to make progress. Put the past behind you, let it go, bury it.
The reason we bury the dead is because we can’t keep them with us, they are gone. Their spirits are gone and if you don’t bury them then the beautiful, handsome looking person begin to stink. That’s what happens to the past, if you don’t bury it, it begins to stink. it stinks so much that it affects your future, it destroys the future.
The devil is liar! I see you making progress, I see you taking territories, I seeing you reaching the places God wants you to reach.
Refuse to be paralyzed by the enemy. Remember to forget past mistakes and past mess-ups. Satan loves to whip you with yesterday. He is a person who works on your emotions and works on your feelings and he sometimes use the pulpit. While on one hand God doesn’t wants us to think that we have this cheap grace that makes us live as we like, yet we cannot run away from the fact that our Salvation was born in grace.
Once you begin to make Christianity only good enough because a certain kind of cap was worn, a certain trouser was worn, you’ve taken it away from the finished work of Christ. You’ve turned it into a matter of works and the Bible says not of work lest any man should boast. So your yesterday’s mess-ups, bring it under the blood. Refuse to let it stop you. Don’t let the enemy ride you into guilt traps.
Isaiah 9:10 – “The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.” Let your mistakes serve as a starting point for miracles. The bricks are fallen down, replace them with great stones. The sycamore trees have been fallen down, replace them with the beautiful cedar wood. The beautiful cedar wood is the amazing wood of Lebanon which when they cut and remove the bark, you don’t polish, it shines. I don’t know how the cedar wood does that. I guess in the process of its growth, as it takes nutrient from the ground it turns it into oil inside it. So anytime you see the cedar wood, it is always shinning. Once they begin to cut it, it just shines.
God says for all your broken bricks, He is about to replace them. I take this scripture Isaiah 9:10 as a powerful word for someone this morning. God is replacing your broken bricks with hewn stones in the name of Jesus. Do you know what hewn stone is? They go to query sites and cut huge stones to fit to build the house, that’s how the pyramids of Egypt were built with hewn stones. Your progress will be awesome, your future will be great. Every stone throw at you will become a stepping stones in the name of Jesus.
