TEXT: PSALMS 132:1-5

THE OVERWHELMING POWER OF SACRIFICE

[1]A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:

[2]How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

[3]Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

[4]I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

[5]Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

When a life is dedicated to the things of God, that life has been donated to God.

This type of life is the type that is not cajoled to do things for God.

When a man has given himself to God, there is nothing that is too big for him to give to God.

Dedicated people say to God,  "whatever I cannot give to you, don't give it to me".

Your treasures travel in the direction of your affection.

Those you love do not have to have to beg you in order to receive from you.

You give to them as if giving is your second nature.

Your hand can only give in the direction of your heart.

These are the people who cannot rest until the work of God is properly done.

Beloved, where is your heart?

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 MATTHEW 6:31-33

THE OVERWHELMING POWER OF SACRIFICE

[31]Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

[32](For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

[33]But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

What is sacrifice?

Sacrifice is simply giving to God whatever He requires of you.

This includes your time, money, your talents, your energy and all your earthly possessions in other to further His work.

Sacrifice means to endure loss, give up pleasures, and renounce rights because of what we believe in.

Apostle Paul declared in Philippians 3:7-8,

"But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,"

Beloved, what prices have you paid for the gospel?

What scares have you received in defence of  the master and His message, the gospel?

Beloved, begin to prepare to lay down your all this month for the master's use.

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 HEBREW 11:4

THE OVERWHELMING POWER OF SACRIFICE

[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.

All spirits relish sacrifices, our God being a spirit is not different.

Every attempt to attract God without sacrifice will end up in futility.

All great interventions of our God happenes through the activation of sacrifices.

By a singular sacrifice, Abel even though dead still speaks through posterity.

What is your role in God's house?

Are you paying or are you playing?

Is your assignment bringing pleasure to our father or is it bringing Him pains?

Beloved, begin to ask God where else He would have you function in.

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 ACTS 1:16-20

TOPIC : PILLARS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

[16]Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

[17]For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

[18]Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

[19]And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

[20]For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

Beloved, the manner in which Judas Iscariot ended his ministry, still brings tears to my eyes.

Judas was one of the first twelve that Jesus chose to pass over to them the mysteries of the kingdom of God.

 Beloved, it matters more how we ended than how we started.

We need to be conscious of the fact that in the kingdom's team, there are no permanent jerseys,

Anybody can be replaced.

Judas ended his ministry in shame and disgrace.

He ended as an eternal warning for posterity.

Dearly beloved, do your work as if you have only this hour to fulfill it.

Ensure also that you get to the finishing line.

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 NUMBERS 27:12-23

TOPIC : PILLARS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

[12]And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

[13]And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.

[14]For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.

[18]And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;

[19]And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

[20]And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient

[22]And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:

[23]And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

Dearly beloved, one of my lowest points in my study of the bible was the rejection of Moses.

I personally felt that he did so much that he should be forgiven and allowed to get to the finishing line, but that was my humanity playing out.

Moses' rejection taught us a principle from the bible.

This principle is that the higher you move with God, the more He expects of you.

God expects you to grow as you relate with Him.

He expects a higher level of spirituality, knowledge and wisdom from you.

Moses might not know that while he was working that God was preparing a replacement.

This is because the kingdom project cannot fail.

Beloved, how are you handling your role?

How are you handling your assignment?

Do you realize that we all can be replaced, including you?

Refuse to let another receive your crown.

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

TEXT 1 KINGS 19:14-16

TOPIC : PILLARS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

[14]And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

[15]And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:

[16]And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.

Beloved, guard your heart with great care.

Refuse to permit frustration and strife build a mansion in your heart.

Elijah was so frustrated that he went to God and began to complain that he was the only prophet remaining in the land, God immediately asked Elijah to go and anoint Elisha to replace him.

It's a privilege to serve God, never serve God with a complaining defaced heart.

There are things that are strange in the kingdom of God, one of such is frustration.

God commanded him to go appoint a replacement.

Beloved, do not serve God with a bitter heart because you can be replaced.

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

TEXT REVELATIONS 3:11

TOPIC : PILLARS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

"Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown"

Beloved, why God is telling you to man your post diligently is because many have lost their roles and ultimately, their reward.

The reward of having power over nations is only for those who remained overcomers until the end.

God plants us in kingdom families on earth.

We are to function as pillars in these families, these families are the different churches of God on the earth.

Whenever God looks at the earth, He see the church families.

He expects His children to be active laboring for these different families.

Are you a pillar in your father's house?

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.
