[4]By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.


For many people, their worst services are the ones where the pastor talks about giving.

They feel restless all through the service.

They murmur and complain how church is now all about money and materialism.


When God delivers your spirit from the chains of hell, He leaves the Holy spirit with the job of rescuing your soul from selfishness to selflessness.

Until this is done, the man in Christ is a new man living the old life.


Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice.

This means that all sacrifices are not equal before God.

If you want God To always put you ahead, then put Him in front by sacrifice.


[5]Gather my :saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.(Psalm 50:5).

Even among the saints, God will still make His preference the saints who come to Him through the mystery of sacrifice.

You can begin today and see how faithful our God is.


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

[29]By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.


GOD, is a respecter of faith.

Whenever and wherever God sees faith, He honours it.

Faith is one of our direct switches to the spirit realm.


Faith is a spiritual weapon of inestimable value.

Faith is a weapon that creates a demarcation between God-servers and man-servers.

God led His children through the sea as if it is dry land, but drowned the Egyptians for daring to go through the same route as His children.


Beloved, faith only delivers upon the correct mentality.

You have to understand who you are in Christ and what are the things that are available to you.

This is because only those who know their God's are permitted to do great exploits.

Begin to declare your expectations and you will soon begin to see them being exterblished in Jesus mighty name.


God bless you.

TOPIC : THE DOMINATING FORCE OF FAITH


[18]And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

[19]Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

[20]And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you


The disciples of Jesus came to Him in private and asked Him why they could not cast the demon.

Jesus then told them that it was because of their unbelief.


Unbelief is to disbelieve something and  distrust that thing.

It is also to doubt something which is possible.


Belief is synonymous with faith.

Jesus came to His own town but was rejected by His own people and He could not do so much because of their unbelief 


Unbelief is the single  largest denominator of the failures we suffer in life as God's children.

Whenever we deploy our faith into something, that thing   becomes defeated.


They could not receive their miracles  because of their unbelief.

Are you dealing  with similar situations?

I pray that God will strengthen your faith in Jesus mighty name.


God bless you.


With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

[2]And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.

[3]And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.

[6]Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:

[7]Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

[8]For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

[9]When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

[10]And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.


Dearly beloved, this Centurion, drew out  three major revelations for the body of Christ.

1. He said to the Lord, "Say in a word". He therefore demonstrated his understanding of the power of the spoken word. The fact that the word is living and active.

2. He demonstrated his understanding of the composition of the power that is in the word of God.

 He knew that the word moves and that it contains kinetic energy.

3. He had the revelation that words are containers that transport power, healing power.


By his faith, he proved that Christ could heal sicknesses from a distance.

His faith was an amazement even to Jesus.

Concerning you, I believe that your freedom from every terrible condition is ending now in Jesus mighty name.

I declare that they expire now in Jesus mighty name.

Dearly beloved, the story of Elisha is one that tells of a deep knowledge of the person of God.

What kind of relationship did he have with the Lord that the aroma of the anointing could not be erased even by death.


Faith for virtually every exploit was tabernacled in the body of Elisha and made his body almost like an electric transformer.

[14]Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.

[15]And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows.

[16]And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands.

[17]And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD'S deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them.

[18]And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.

[19]And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.


Dearly beloved, faith is a weapon of war that never fails.

Elisha was sick on his death bed, but his faith in God was intact.

The king was facing an imminent defeat from the Syrians so he ran to prophet Elisha for help.


King Joash knew that even though Elisha was sick, that the miraculous power of God in his life could not be touched.

Elisha had a deep revelation of who God was.

He knew that sickness was a physical attack, but that his spirit was not sick.

He deployed his faith to guide the arrows shot by king Joash to gain precision.

His faith turned them into intercontinental balistic missiles.

Each arrow was turned into a war head.

As you stretch out your faith today,my own God will go to battle on your behalf with any instrument that you lift up against your aggressors.

[4]Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

[5]Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

[6]Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.


Dearly beloved, this psalm is a signature of the Father on the page of His document written on the heart of His children.

It contains His covenant  of protection upon our lives which comes with complete assurance of peace.


I remember many years ago when I  worked as a manager, in a company in Lagos.

I was under pressure from my boss to compromise my faith on some very serious issues.

For a worker with my very little salary, the prospects of having to own a house was a very big temptation.

I could not sleep for many days while Satan dangled the bait day and night.


He would remind me that if I dared to say no,  I would lose my job, then my family will be thrown out of the accommodation where we live.

My daughter Zulu will also be thrown out of school.

All I needed to say was yes to a woman who wanted me by all means.


My life became a nightmare.

One night the Lord showed me this scripture and I was strengthened.

I said no to her proposition on a Monday, on Friday evening, I was given a sack letter.

I could not go home, I  held the letter, sat down on my seat and Satan roared at me in mockery, he said to me "Obinna,  admire the office very well because I would not come back here again."


When I eventually got home that night, I was let to study that same psalm through the night, I believed God and by the next day, the termination letter was terminated, praise God.

I pray for you that those trying to lure you to sin and destroy your soul will all fail in Jesus mighty name.


God bless you.


With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

[3]And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.

[4]So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.

[5]But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.

[6]And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.

[7]Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.


Beloved, it is a very painful experience to loose what you have borrowed from someone else.

If it's yours, it is easier to handle.

Elisha's disciples lost a borrowed axe-head in their attempt to expand their ministerial base.


The lost axe-head would be comperable to today's excavating mashines.

It was an equipment that you must have if you must built a house in their days.

The scream from the man who lost the axe gave us an insight into the real cost of the tool.


The prophet asked for the exact location where the axe-head fell and sank.

He then took a stick and threw there.

The stick sank and the axe-head made of iron floated, the shame was averted.

Your faith is given at redemption so that you would be able to subdue any situation that wants to abuse your redemption.

[20]And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

[21]Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

[22]And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.


Beloved, the biggest challenge plaguing believers is this deceit  that their faith is small and needs to be increased.

They believe that the reason why they are not recording exploits is because their faith is small.

This satanic deception has crippled them so much that they have practically buried their faith deep under the ground.


Believers lack of exploits is as a result of non deployment of their faith in the challenges that they are going through.


Jesus the son of God declared that if you have faith, the size of a mustard seed, you can tell a mountain to move.

By mathematical implication, a mountain moving faith is the faith that is as small as a mustard seed, that is also the spiritually acceptable standard for exploits.

CLASSIC


TOPIC : THE DOMINATING FORCE OF FAITH


[1]Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

[2]For by it the elders obtained a good report.

[3]Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.


Faith is a weapon that delivers irrespective of gender, age and region.

Once faith is engaged, the battles are over.

Faith is our access to the hand of God in order to move our desires towards us.

Faith is our handle on things we cannot see.


Faith is a multidimensional weapon.

It mutates itself in order to fit into every present need.

It can become a battle a roaring lion, it can also become  a hand that closes the mouth of the lion.


Faith is the victory that overcomes the world.

It subdues every opposition to destiny and restores lost glories.

Faith is an anti-shame vaccine, it is also an anti-failure vaccine.

Faith is like a life boat you use when you are in a boat.

Once inflated, it keeps you afloat.

It is very hazardous and dangerous to operate on this earth without the armour of faith.

Our earth is a thoroughfare for the trafficking of heavy spiritual entities.

It's a highway, no one plays on a highway without paying dearly for it.

[28]The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

Beloved there are many things to learn from this simple unsophisticated woman.

this woman took off the very first minute she heard from Jesus and stormed her village to tell them the good news.

She did not undergo a foundation class, she did not wait to be baptized, she was full of passion borne out of conviction.


This woman had not read any scripture before she launched out for soul winning.

She knew only one thing *"come, see a man who me everything I ever did, is not this the Christ?*


Beloved, too much preparation is not needed for you to begin that business of soul winning for the Lord.

[3]But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

[4]But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.

[15]So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.

[16]Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.

[17]Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.


Dearly beloved, the fate of Jonah is a very scary one.

It seems as if similar fate awaits those who become disobedient to this Heavenly demands.

There are many who think that they are victims of demons but are victims of their own Stubbornness.


Beloved, all God is asking of you is to tell somebody about Jesus.

God does not joke with this category of people.

He will fight you if you dare touch them, even in their absence. God would go to war to defend them.

Would you not like to be this type of christian?


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:REVELATION 14:15-19


CLASSIC


TOPIC : THE HARVEST IS READY.


[15]And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

[16]And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

[17]And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

[18]And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

[19]And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.


Beloved, it is sad that most people including believers do not believe that the trumpet will soon sound.

They are living like people who will never be required to account for their souls.

They are absolutely reckless about their eternal destiny.

They live as if they know the date when they will be called to give account of their stewardship on earth.


Beloved, we are co-workers with God in His program of redemption.

Our job description includes but not limited to evangelizing  the world until the last sinner receives Jesus.


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.

TEXT: DANIEL 12:2-3


CLASSIC


TOPIC : THE HARVEST IS READY


[2]And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

[3]And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.


The issue of soul winning is a very serious matter before our Father.

The issue that will make a God to come down to the earth, became a baby on earth is a most serious one.

This singularly demonstrates how much value God places on one soul.


Beloved, a day shall come when we will be honored and rewarded for the many sinners we dragged out from the mouth of eternal damnation.

On that day, we shall see the face of our father, we shall also receive the smiles of appreciation for our battles at soul winning.

Daddy will reward us with an everlasting crown.


The scripture said that those who shall turn many souls to righteousness shall shine as the brightness of the firmament.

That means they shall shine brighter than angels.

Baba is depending on us, may we not disappoint Him.

It is time to radically begin to win souls for Jesus.


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.

TEXT: LUKE 12:19-21


CLASSIC


TOPIC : THE HARVEST IS READY.


[19]And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

[20]But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

[21]So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.


Jesus shared this story.

It is the story of a selfish rich man who became so rich that he lost regard for God.

He thought he was the  power and wisdom behind his wealth.

He was a worshipper of self and wealth.


Wealth without God is as destructive as a malignant cancer.

The man is dead while he thinks he is alive.

Pride is feeling of pleasure derived from ones perceived  achievements.

They call engracement achievement because of ignorance.

Pride is being so proud of a particular gift or skill, and refusing to acknowledge the giver of the gift.


The harvest is ready but are the harvesters ready?

If we must not fail our master, the one who died for us, we must purify ourselves in order to be able to handle the sickle of harvest.


Elisha sent Gehazi with his rod to raise from  death the son of the Zarephat woman.

He carried the rod of Elisha, touched the child with it but the child died the more.

His life was not consecrated enough to carry the sickle of harvest, so he made a shame of himself. 

Many harvesters are needed in order to fulfil the mandates of heaven.

The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few, will you be one of us?


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.

TOPIC : BIRTHING YOUR NEW SEASON.


[4]He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

[5]Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

[6]And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.


Beloved, God was talking to His people here. The great  God of Heaven asked that only the saints who have made a covenant with Him by sacrifice.

By implication, do not bring before Him stingy saints, saints who refuse to surrender their gold and gifts, their treasures and time.


God makes a demarcation between those who serve Him and those who serve Him not.

God is a spirit, spirits eat sacrifices.


When you become a person of sacrifice, you have taken possession of an invincible remote control with which you can control all the challenges the enemy throws at you.

I pray that your sacrifices will constantly make a way for you .


God bless you.


With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

Your case is not bigger than God.
