TOPIC : DESTROYING THE SPIRIT OF FRUSTRATION


TEXT    NEHEMIAH 4 : 1 - 6


[1]But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.

[2]And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?

[3]Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.

[4]Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:

[5]And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.

[6]So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.


Nehemiah had a vision of rebuilding the destroyed walls of the city.

Sambalat and Tobias and the Arabians were bent on frustrating Nehemiah and his team.

Often, it's your choice to yield to the spirit of frustration or not.

Devil uses intimidation as a weapon, refuse to be intimidated.

He roars, but he is not a lion.

You have the real Lion as your father and you are carrying His DNA in you.


God bless you.


With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

Your case is not bigger than God.


May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.


Your Victory is already guaranteed


It is well, do not give up, with God all things  are possible

TEXT    EXODUS 1 : 8 -14


[8]Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

[9]And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:

[10]Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.

[11]Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.

[12]But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.

[13]And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:

[14]And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.


The children of Israel shattered all prison records.

They were unjustly imprisoned with hard labor for one hundred and thirty years.


They were frustrated by their taskmasters.

They were beaten and worked without wages.


When they cried unto the God of Abraham, Jehovah arose and delivered them.

You have a better covenant.

Jesus Christ is our High priest forever.

He is touched by our infirmities.

Are you laboring under a taskmaster, I decree you release today in Jesus mighty name.


God bless you.


With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

Your case is not bigger than God.

TEXT   GENESIS 18: 2-12


[2]And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

[3]And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

[4]Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

[5]And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

[6]And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.

[7]And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetch a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.

[8]And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

[9]And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

[10]And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.

[11]Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

[12]Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?


One of the obvious results of delay is 

Frustration.

Frustration can and has driven many people to insanity.


Another problem with frustration is that it drains the faith of many and turns them into unbelievers.


Sarah had waited for her baby for so long that she had started doubting the possibility of ever having her own baby.

No wonder she laughed at the prophesy of those men from God.


What are you going through today?

A word from God will end that frustration.


God bless you.


With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

TOPIC : THE POWER OF EXPECTATION


TEXT   1 SAMUEL: 1: 9-18


[9]So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.

[10]And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.

[11]And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

[12]And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.

[13]Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.

[14]And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.

[15]And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.

[16]Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.

[17]Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

[18]And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.


She ate and became happy because she could see her expectations manifesting by the reason of Eli's declarations.


There are also some biblical declarations over your destiny.

Have you found them?

Do you know that you can discover them and empower them to speak?


Expect  manifestations of the scriptural pictures of your destiny in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

TEXT    JOHN 11: 20-23


[20]Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

[21]Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

[22]But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

[23]Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.


This was the story of a family that loved the Lord Jesus so much.

The bible recorded that Jesus loved them so much also.


Their brother Lazarus was sick and they sent for Jesus.

Jesus delayed and by the time He got there, Lazarus had died.


The highlighted scriptures were Martha's declaration of her expectations as captured by the book of John.

She said in verse 21&22, Lord if you had been here my brother would not have died but now that you are here, my expectation is that you will bring him back if you talk to your Father.


It was her expectation that sponsored that miracle.

Heaven respected her expectations.

May Heaven honour your expectations in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

TEXT   ACTS 3 : 1-6


[1]Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

[2]And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

[3]Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

[4]And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

[5]And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

[6]Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.


Beloved, in verse 4 of the story we just read, Peter and John told the lame man to look at them.

To look at them in this context means to expect something.

In verse 5 the scripture said that the man gave heed to them meaning that he expected something from them.

It was his expectation that gave birth to his miracle.


If you can believe, nothing is impossible to whomsoever believes.

The expectation of the righteous shall not be cut off.

His expectation purchased this miracle, your own expectation will purchase your own in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

TEXT   MARK 11 : 24


[24]Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.


Expectation is the magnet that attracts your desires to you.

It is the platform upon which your destiny is delivered.

The biggest danger to your expectation is doubt.


The Bible said whatsoever you desire, you should believe that you have already received them.

The big mystery is believing that you have received what you have not yet seen.

This is where your faith comes into action.

The Bible said that without faith, it is impossible to please God.

Your expectations will not be denied you in Jesus mighty name.


God bless you.

TEXT   EZEKIEL 37: 1-3,5-10.


[1]The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

[2]And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

[3]And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

[5]Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

[7]So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

[8]And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

[9]Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

[10]So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.


Beloved, did you realize that in verse 7 after the bones came together, even with sinews and flesh, they had no life.

The Lord then asked him to prophesy to the wind.


Truth is that we are a generation that is in a hurry.

God is a process being. He operates systemically.

When prophet Ezekiel watched the bones transform into lifeless bodies, he must have thought it was all over but no way, God must finish what he started.


I do not know at what stage you are on that project, refuse to give up.

Do not throw in the towel, it's not yet over until God says it is.


Press on, it's the time for your miracle.

[2]And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

[3]And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

[5]Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

[7]So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.


This was an encounter that prophet Ezekiel had with God at the valley of dry bones.

Dry bones could mean a marriage that has totally broken down.

It could mean a business that has gone under, a relationship that looks totally dead, a debilitating health condition.

whatever it represents in your life, realize that it is changeable.


When God asked Ezekiel whether the bones shall rise again, he told God that only Him can determine the outcome of this situation.

God then commanded him to prophesy to the bones.

Prophesy here means to speak God word to the dry bones.


Beloved, everything under the Heavens has intelligence.

They hear the word of God.

Your womb has ears,

Your business can hear.

Your marriage has ears.

Speak life into them now and command they to obey you in Jesus mighty name.

My God, who is also your God turned it into a weapon of mass destruction.

A thousand soldiers were massacred in the twinkle of an eye.

Beloved, it's not by might, nor by power but by the spirit of the Lord.

Judges 15:14-15,

[14]And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.

[8]Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Beloved, there is something that is called the energy of the spirit of God.

Elijah was carried by this vehicle and he ran faster than the chariots of Jezreel.

The king's chariots are drawn by special breed of horses that are trained for speed and endurance.


God will always prove that your victory was not as a result of your strength but by the energy of the spirit of the Lord.

[7]I have fought the good (worthy, honorable, and noble) fight, I have finished the race, I have kept (firmly held) the faith.

Beloved, as a child of God, can you honestly say "I have fought a good fight"?

Can you confidently say that a crown of righteousness is laid before you?


Apostle Paul could say these words because his life was poured out a offering unto the will and work of God.


He did not expect accolade from anyone.

He did not question God for the difficulties he encountered all through his ministry.

He took everything as an honor.

It is truly an honor to live for the One who died for us.

He wants you to devote all you have to serving Him.

Jehovah requires and deserves your reasonable service.


Many people like Cain are offering unto God an unreasonable service.

Unacceptable service and services that are not pleasing to God.

God does not accept irrational services, He is the creator of the universe.

Many believers have offered to God what their servants would have rejected.

Stop offering to your hurt.

Each time you offer the offering of Cain, you insult God.

Be wise 


God bless you.


With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

Your case is not bigger than God.


May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.


Your Victory is already guaranteed


It is well, do not give up, with God all things  are possible

TOPIC : FUNCTIONING IN YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE


TEXT   DEUTERONOMY 28 :47-48 .


47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.


The quality of service given to God matters.

God does not accept services rendered while grumbling and complaining.

God wants you to function for Him on a platform of cheerfulness.

It is upon this platform that believers are rewarded.


Many of God's children are suffering today because they regularly offer to God what they would not give to their dog.


God cannot be mocked, People reap what they sow.

Oh child of God, be  very couscous of the type of seeds in your hand.


God bless you.


With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

Your case is not bigger than God.


May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.


Your Victory is already guaranteed


It is well, do not give up, with God all things  are possible
