Topic; Let there be Light Part 7
Text: Luke 24:28-36
Let there be light because when there is light you will be able to see, Ephesians 1:18. Your eyes of understanding will become opened. May the Almighty God open your eyes today as you partake of this Holy Communion tonight.
When there is light and your eyes are opened, you will discover what you taught to be the end will suddenly be the beginning. 2 Corinthians 5:17
When God opens your eyes, suddenly, the hope lost becomes hope rising. Colossians 1:27, Hebrews 13:5
When there is light and suddenly your eyes of understanding are opened, you will suddenly realize that God is always by your side and He is near. He is always near.
You will discover that a new journey begins, Luke 7:11-15. They went with a new impetus to testify. As you partake of the meal tonight, a new journey will begin with you. Amen. After tonight, it will be easy for you to win a soul for God because you will have a new impetus. Amen
Everything God does is for a purpose, even this lockdown is for a purpose.
By the time we finish the Holy Communion tonight, even without saying a word, you will know deep within you that you are going to live in peace.
If you are not a child of God, do yourself a favour by surrendering your life to Christ. Call on Him now to save your soul, tell Him that you need His peace that the prince of peace takes over your life and that you will serve Him forever.
Prayer Points
1. Praise Him for an opportunity to dine with Him
2. Father, please open my eyes of understanding afresh tonight.
3. Father, send your light, reveal yourself to me like never before
4. Father send your light and renew my hope
5. Father, anoint me afresh for your service and for evangelism.

Theme: Let there be Light part 7
Text: Acts 9:1-6
We have some very serious prayers to pray tonight and by the time we finish the Holy Ghost Service, you will know that you will pray like never before so that God will send light.
Saul was persecuting Christians. He was on his way to Damascus going to arrest anyone who is a follower of Jesus Christ. On the way, the light shown and several things changed.
Prayer 1; Lord, if I am going in the wrong direction, let your light arrest me.
Proverbs 16:25; Many at times we think we are going in the right direction or making the right choices and we are wrong. Except God send His light, we may end up in the out.
Genesis 13:5-13, Genesis 19:12-26, Lits taught he chose right but list everything in one day even his wife was list in the process.
2 Kings 5:20-27; Gehazi went for what his master rejected, Gehazi did not realize he was going the right direction, in the end, he got leprosy after getting all he went for.
1 Samuel 25:1-39, Naaman had plenty of animals, David and his men were helping him to protect the animals. Naaman refused to give food to David and his men, David heard and he said he will wipe him out but was told not to avenge for himself, A light was shown on the part of David that day and God avenged for David.
Prayer 2; Lord send your light, if am riding on the horse of pride, please bring me down.
Many are so proud of using the word I or me, Daniel 4:1-end. Pride is a very deadly sin. James 4:6, Psalm 138:6, Philippians 2:5-12 (The way down is the way up, Humble yourself). If you want to go high, you must learn to humble yourself.
Consider Elisha, 1 Kings 19:15-21, he humbled himself so much that he was pouring water in the hands of Elijah and God promoted him. 2 Kings 4:8-17. He was controlling the high and mighty because he humbled himself.
If you want to climb, learn to humble yourself.
Prayer 3; Lord send your light, let me hear your voice.
For the first time in the life of Saul, he heard God speak. He never heard God speak when he was persecuting Christians. Revelations 2:7
It is not everybody who can hear what God is saying. When God speaks and you can hear, your life will be completely transformed. John 10:27. My sheep hear my voice. You are not sure you are a Christian until you begin to hear from God. When you don't hear His voice, it is a question mark that you are not one of His sheep. Hearing from God turns the tide for you. Exodus 3:1-15. Moses heard the voice of the Lord and his life changed, 1 Samuel 3:1-21, the tide turned for Samuel when he heard from God.
The inability to hear from God might be dangerous. Psalm 107:20. If you can't hear His word, you might not get your healing and deliverance. Isaiah 6:8-10, Romans 10:17
Prayer 4; God please send your light and change my vision and change my focus.
Prophesy: The Lord said there is someone listening to me right now, He said the one who said there is no hope for you will come and tell you sorry, there is hope for you. Amen
Genesis 3:1-7, If you look in the wrong direction, it can destroy you. Judges 16:4-21, 14:1-3. The real destroyer of dams was his eyes. Samson kept on seeing the wrong thing, that is when the enemy captured him. Colossians 3:1-2, Focus on things above. There are people who have done something they will never have done because they were looking at the wrong things. 2 Kings 2:9-15, Elijah told Elisha if you can see me. If you can see the invisible, you can see the impossible. Elisha saw the spiritual things and he ended up with a double portion of Elijah. On the other hand, Naaman saw gold and became a loser.
Prayer 5; Lord send your light and lock me down if you consider it necessary. Acts 9:9
Genesis 40:1-end, it was while Joseph was locked down in prison that's why he became an interpreter of dreams
Elijah was locked down in the house of a widow, 1 Kings 7:8-24, 1 Samuel 22:1-2, David was locked down in the cave. 2 Samuel 23:9-39, Revelation 1:4-20 (John the beloved was lockdown)
Prophesy; The Lord wants me to tell someone, I have never been as close to you as I am now.
Prayer 6; Acts 9:19-12, Lord at this moment, send destiny helpers to me.
Prophesy; The Lord said the fellow will understand, Read Isaiah 6:1-8. You have done well thus far but want you to know, I break down in other to build-up
1 Samuel 16:1-13, David was looking after his father sheep in the bush not knowing Samuel was coming. The light has shown from heaven but didn't realize it. 1 Samuel 19:15-21, Elisha was busy on the farm not knowing his case has been discussed between God and Elijah.
God, please send me a destiny helper in this time of crisis. Some of us might be expecting someone coming from America, but the destiny helper might be already in your house, 2 Kings 5:1-14
Lord, please send a destiny helper to me. If he is already in my home let him speak up. All my destiny helpers wherever they may be at home or abroad, Almighty God, don't ever let them rest until they contact me, let him show up for me.
Prayer 7; based on Acts 9:13-21; God whatever your purpose for my life please fulfill it.
Prophesy: The Lord said there are testimonies and there are testimonies. He said someone will come out of this lockdown with great testimonies.
Galatians 1:15-16, Acts 9:13-21, 1 Timothy 1:15, 2 Corinthians 11:5.
God has a purpose for every man's life. For that purpose to be fulfilled occasionally He has to arrest you when you are going in the wrong direction. He may need to lock you down and then send a destiny helper so that at the end of the day that purpose can be fulfilled.
In conclusion
Your last prayer; God give me the grace to pay the price. Philippians 3:7-15, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27. Everybody runs the race, only one wins the prize.
There are people who will tell you because Jesus has finished the work on the cross and there is nothing for you and no price to pay. Such might be right but now only one wins the gold medal in a race. They will even say that all that matters is to participate and not necessarily to win but the question you should ask them is, why don't they give medals to the failures. You must be the best among the best. There is a gap between gold and silver and between silver and bronze. A hundred talents of gold are greater than a million talents of silver. I don't want to be just among the best, I want to be the very best, that should be your aim.
2 Corinthians 11:27, Luke 5:33-35, 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (Pray without ceasing). Daniel 6:1-3. Aim at being the best among the best always.
Prayer; Lord give me the grace to pay any price so that I can be the best for you.
For those of you who have not given their lives to Christ, you have not started at all. The light has shown on you today by listening to this message. Surrender your life to Jesus now so that the purpose of your life can be fulfilled.

THE MESSAGE
TEXT - PSALM CHAPTER 50 VERSE 23
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
The God we serve has many attributes, and all of them are very significant.
1.HE IS KNOWN AS THE ALMIGHTY.
He has power and He can do absolutely anything.
2. HE IS THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA.
He has no beginning and ending because He is the beginning and definitely will also be the ending.
3.HE IS LOVE.
He is not just loving but loves Himself, love so great that He gave His only begotten son to those who were yet sinners.
4 HE IS SOVEREIGN.
Probably one of most significant attributes of our God is His sovereignty.
Psalm 115:3 Our God is in the heavens: he does as He pleases.
Daniel 4:35 Nebuchadnezzar a very great king in his day said God is the original majesty, He does as He pleases in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth and there is no one none who stay his hand and no one say to Him or say to Him, what doest thou?
WHY IS GOD THE ORIGINAL MAJESTY?
1. Deuteronomy 32:39 He can kill and make alive.
2. 1 Samuel 2:6-7 He can send to the grave and bring out of the grave.
3. He can make poor and make rich.
4. He can bring low and lift.
5. Numbers 16:23-34 He can even bury people alive.
6. John 11:39-45 He can bring the dead out of the grave even if he has been there for four days.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE ORIGINAL MAJESTY, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT OUR GOD.
He does as He pleases.
7.Ephesians 2:4-6 He is rich in mercy.
He owns the silver, gold and crude oil. He says the earth is mine and fullness thereof.
8.He owns all the animals in the bush, birds in the air and fish in the ocean but He is rich in mercy. No king can compare to Him when it comes to mercy.
However, as rich as He is in mercy, He still retains His sovereignty.
9.Romans 9:15-18 I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy and compassion to whom I will show compassion. I still decides who will get the mercy
WHY SHOULD YOU PRAISE HIM TODAY?
Because, according to Lamentations 3:22-23 It’s because he has extended His mercy to you, that is why you are still alive. It is of His mercy that we are not consumed. The “consumer” had been going around the world. Because He extended His mercy to you, the consumer has jumped over your family.
You are alive today because this sovereign God who is rich in mercy has decided to extend His mercy to you.
Daniel 4 He extended mercy to Nebuchadnezzar, another great king.
He humbled him for seven years.
He restored him to his throne.
He added to him some excellent majesty.
Daniel 5 The son of Nebuchadnezzar did not get that kind of mercy, he misbehaved and was dead before the following day.
My beloveth, You are alive today because God chose to be merciful unto you and
quite a lot will be expected from you from now on as to whether or not you will continue to enjoy that mercy.
Apart from the fact that He says if you want to enjoy mercy, you must be merciful, which means you have a lot to do by telling others about His mercy.
Witness and win souls, have compassion on others so that they won't go to hell.
You have a lot to do by telling others about his mercy.
In Psalm 50:23, If you glorify me, I will show you my way of salvation.
If you offer praise to me, you are glorifying me.
If you order your conversation rightly; if you will use your mouth properly, He said i will show you the salvation of the Lord.
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
how you use your tongue will determine whether you will die or live.
David said i will bless the Lord at all time
Psalm 34:1-4 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
I will be delivered from all my fears.
If I use my tongue not to complain, grumble, backbite, lie and spread fake news.
If I use my tongue to bless the Lord at all times, I will be delivered from all my fears.
If you praise Him appropriately, He will show you the way out of lockdown, death and hell.
Exodus 5:1-2 Pharaoh on the other hand said, who is the Lord; i don't know Him and i am not going to obey Him and God said i will show you that You are nothing and He drown him
Beloveth, this morning and for the rest of your life, I want to encourage you to offer praise to Him, glorify Him and order your conversation rightly so that He will continue to show you the way of salvation.
Those of you who are yet to give Your life to Jesus, may be the first thing you can do is to say to the Lord, I surrender, save my soul and I will use my mouth to praise you and I will tell the whole world about Your mercy that brought salvation to me.
IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST, PLEASE, BOW YOUR HEAD AND CRY TO HIM:
Lord, please, save my soul and I will serve You forever.
The rest of us, let’s use our mouth to intercede for all these people who are surrendering their lives to Jesus, let's pray that the One who saved our souls will save theirs also.
Almighty God, thou the original majesty; we worship and adore You, there is no one like You, definitely You are the Almighty, You are the only one who can save, heal, deliver and resurrect. We commit these people who are coming forward to surrender their lives today into Your hands, please, receive them, have mercy on them, save their souls Lord, receive them into the family of God. We pray that together we will sing Your praise and testify of Your mercy forever in Jesus’ name, thank You my Father, glory be to Your holy name.
CLOSING PRAYER.
Lord God Almighty, as Your children will be praising You today, please, deliver them from all their fear. As a result of worshipping You in spirit and truth today, let every home be filled with your testimony.
In Jesus’ mighty name we have prayed.
AMEN!
Praise the Lord.
HALLELUJAH!
God bless you.
Amen!
PLEASE TAKE GOOD TIME TO WORSHIP THE ALMIGHTY GOD BECAUSE HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED.
HE IS THE ORIGINAL MAJESTY.
GLORY BE TO GOD.

THE MESSAGE
TEXT GENESIS CHAPTER 26
18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
20 And the herdsmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
LET THERE BE LIGHT 7
Our theme for this month is Let there be light 7 and I'm believing that we will all have an encounter with the light of God this month in Jesus’ name.
PRAYERS.
Everything the enemies had stolen from you and your heritage shall be restored this month.
All the enemies of your success in the mighty name of Jesus Christ the Lord Himself will stop them.
You will never labour in vain again.
Beginning from this Divine Encounter, everything you touch will prosper.
WHERE THERE IS WATER THERE IS LIFE.
That is why you find scientists sending men to the Moon, Mars and other planets looking for another planet with water.
Revelation 22:17 when we get to heaven we will be given water of life to drink.
Water is very precious. Scientists said, it has everything to do with life.
According to the scientists, 75% of the whole earth is water. Whether you believe it or not, they say more than 70% of your head is water and you know how important your head is.
YOU CAN HAVE A PERSONAL WELL.
You can have a personal well where you will always draw water. All you need to do is to have an encounter with the One who is called the light of the world.
John 4:13-15 Jesus was sitting by a well, a woman came in the afternoon to draw, Jesus said give me water to drink and finally He told the woman, if you ask of me i will give you to drink. The water I will give you to drink will become a well that will never run dry.
As a matter of fact, if you have an encounter with the Light, you will see that you can even have rivers of living water flowing out of you.
John 7:37-38 Jesus Christ said if any man thirst, let him come to me and drink and out of his belly will begin to flow rivers of living water.
It is crucial and urgent that God will send light to you to open your eyes to see where your well of water is before it is too late.
Genesis 21:14-21 The Bible tells us the story of what happened when Hagar and her son Ishmael were sent out of the house of Abraham, they were wandering in the desert and ran out of water and the child was dying. The mother put him somewhere and moved away because she didn't want to watch the child die of thirst. Then, the Almighty God opened her eyes and showed her a well of water and the child drank from the water.
Before you die of thirsty physical, material and spiritual may the Almighty God show you a well of water.
May He direct you to where to dig.
In the text, Issac kept on digging and people kept on struggling with him over the water but one day, he dug in particular place, reached water and nobody struggled with him over it.
LET THERE BE LIGHT; SHOW ME WHERE TO DIG.
In the Divine Encounter of this month, you want to cry to the Almighty God, Let there be light; show me where to dig.
Show me where to invest so I can breakthrough to my water that will never run dry and nobody would disturb me.
Show me where to sow so that I will begin to reap forever.
Show me the well and where to dig for it.
In the meantime, you can cry to Him; show me the river where my fish is with a coin in its mouth.
Matthew 17:24-27
People asked Peter for tax and His master’s tax
Jesus said to Peter go to the river with your hook, catch one fish, open its mouth, and there will be more than enough money in the mouth of a fish.
One funny fellow said Jesus Christ is the originator of ATM, if you know the correct pin number, a fish will jump out and all the money you need is in its mouth.
I'm praying that among the people you will witness this month, the Almighty God will raise up somebody who will help your destiny so much that you will never lack again.
He can do more than that; He can heal the spring of your life.
2 Kings 2:19-22 It takes only one action of Elisha to heal the waters of Jericho permanently.
There are some of us that an evil river has been flowing in our families; a river of poverty and suffering, so much that people look at us after we become a christian and ask have you a wow poverty? Today, in the mighty name of Jesus, as you have an encounter with the Light of the world, every evil river flowing in your family will be transformed.
All you have to do is to bring salt to Him. What is the salt you are to bring? Yourself.
Matthew 5:13 You are the salt of the earth
Romans 12:1 you are to present your body a living sacrifice.
You are the salt that is to be brought.
Bring it on a new plate; not only are you to surrender to Him, you must be ready for a brand new life.
2 Corinthians 5:17 If any man be in Christ, he is a brand new creature.
A BIG LESSON FROM A FILM.
I watched a circular film and learnt a lesson. A man who was regarded as a godfather - a very powerful man, did something for another man, and the man says, what do you want me to pay for what you've done? He made a statement that I will never forget; I don't need your money but I will need your friendship.
Jesus is not asking for your Naira and Pound. Gold and Silver belong to Him. Don't let anyone deceive you and don't deceive yourself, if He has an assignment, He will make provision for it with or without you but he wants your friendship; He wants you to surrender totally. If you are his friend, your river will never run dry because He is the source of all springs of water.
ALTAR CALL FOR THOSE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN BUT HAVE NOT SURRENDER ALL TO JESUS.
Surrender everything to Him.
Bring Him salt and you are the salt.
Get ready to be under a new management so that you will become His friend and be doing His will from now on.
Examine yourself: Have you truly surrendered all; your past, present, future, ambition and vision to Him?
Cry unto Him for the grace to surrender all, He will send the light, show you where to dig and you will begin to prosper in the land.
If you have truly surrendered to Him, you will no longer insult Him with an offering that will say to Him He is a beggar.
IF YOU ARE LISTENING AND NOT BORN BORN AGAIN, PLEASE DO TODAY.
Ask Him to save your soul, change your life completely so that you can become a new creature in Him, promise him that you will be His friend and serve Him forever.
CLOSING PRAYER.
My Father and my God; i want to thank You once again for Your word; i want to thank You for the power in the word. As for those who are surrendering their lives to You for the first time and asking for salvation, Father, please, save their souls, let Your blood wash away their sins, give them a brand new beginning please, Lord, receive them into the family of God and let it be well with them.
As for all your children who are determined to serve you wholeheartedly and surrender everything to You, Father, please, let there be light, show them where to dig, give them their own well, let the well lead to rivers of living water and don't let them ever thirst again, thank You my Father and my God, In Jesus’ mighty name we have prayed.
Let’s begin to treat the Almighty God as a friend indeed.
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE GIVEN YOUR LIVES TO JESUS CHRIST, CONTACT ME SO THAT I CAN CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU.
THE REST OF US, LET'S TREAT THE ALMIGHTY GOD AS A FRIEND INDEED. LET’S STOP INSULTING HIM WITH THE KIND OF OFFERING THAT WILL GIVE HIM IMPRESSION THAT HE IS A BEGGAR.
LET’S SHOW HIM FROM NOW ON THAT ALL WE ARE, HAVE AND SHALL EVER BE WILL BE SURRENDER TO HIM AND HE WILL ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS IN JESUS’ NAME,
AMEN!

We want to continue with our series on Topic: FROM LOCKDOWN TO LEAPING UP
Text: Acts 3:1-8
In one of the series, we told you that when you are lifted up you start by standing and then you continue by walking and then you leap up again, you keep leaping after you have been standing and walking and you end up praising God.
The first leaping brings you to standing and after you start walking, then there can be other leapings.
The questions to ask today is How high can I leap or how high can I go?
How high a man can lift you is determined by how tall he is. A short man can not lift you too high. The one lifting you can not lift you high beyond his height. Genesis 41:38-44.
How high can God lift you?
The answer is simple, how tall is God, Isaiah 66:1 (Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool)
How long are the legs of God? The one who is sitting in heaven and the legs are on earth must have pretty long legs. God has the longest legs of all, the Almighty God. His legs are extremely long from heavens to the earth.
What about his arms? Deuteronomy 33:27. His arms of God are everlasting. If a man is the one lifting you and he is standing and if he want to really lift you, he can lift you with his hands lifted high, but if he want to add to how high he can lift you, he can stand on his toes but very soon his toes will begin to pain him, he will come back to standing firm and after sometime his hands will be heavy and will begin to bring you down him but the hands of God are everlasting, When He lifts you, He can just you everlastingly.
How high can God lift you?
1 Samuel 2:7-8, He lift up one and bring down another,
David, 1 Samuel 16:1-13, David was not presented because he didn't count. When God picked him up, he that became a shepherd about became a king, Mark 10:46-52,
Joshua, Joshua 1:1-8, Joshua was a messenger of more, servant, house help, God lifted him up and turn him to head of a nation
Elisha, 1 Kings 19:19-21, Elisha was the son of a farmer, 2 Kings 13:14-21, A king called Elisha my Daddy. The Almighty can make a businessman and turn him into a mighty prophet.
Peter, Luke 5:1-11, Peter was a total failure as a businessman, a hard working fisherman, He fished all night and caught nothing, a hard-working man but he was a failure, Acts 5:12-16, the whole town line up to welcome him because they want his shadow to fall on the sick and the sick will be healed. God made Peter a mighty man.
Moses, Exodus 3:1-15, God picked a forgotten and retired man, all his dreams have been forgotten waiting for death, but when God picked him up from the backside of a desert, He turned him to a way maker, Exodus 14:15-28
Mark 5:2-20, He was not just forgotten and written off, he was dwelling among the dead in the tomb, he himself had written himself up, when God picked him up, he became an evangelist for the most high God.
Do you think you have been forgotten and there is no hope for you? Why don't you let God step into the situation and see how far He can lift you.
How high God can lift you Materially, 1 Kings 17:8-16, He can lift you from being destitute to becoming comfortable. When God picks up the destitute, he can bring him up to the level of the comfortable.
When He picks up the comfortable, He can bring him to the level of rich, Genesis 33:1-9.
God can do much more than that, He can pick up the rich and make him wealthy, Genesis 24:34-35.
He can pick up the wealthy and move him to the level of prosperous, 2 Chronicles 1:6-12.
He can say that is not enough, let me move you higher still, Psalm 92:12-14, He can move you from being prosperous to someone who is flourishing, 2 Chronicles 7:5.
My appeal to you is, You need to enlarge your vision, it doesn't matter how great you are now but God can make you much richer. Don't think you have already arrived, look up and consider going higher still.
How high can you leap? the choice is yours!
How soon can God lift me to a height that I can not dream possible? He can do it within 24 hours. Genesis 41:1-44
What are the requirements that God will expect from me so that what we are talking about can become a reality in my life
1. Faith in God. You have to believe that God can do it, Mark 9:23
2. God is going to require from you, dividends, hard work. Proverbs 22:29. If you are lazy, you can't go to any greater heights, 2 Kings 4:1-7. How high you are going depends on the amount of hard work you are putting in.
3. God expects holiness from you. Because God said, the prosperity of fools will destroy them and the fool is the one who says there is no God. Isaiah 59:1-2. You want to go to a level you can't dream possible now, live holy because God is holy. The only thing that can destroy your lifting faster than anything else is sin. Please don't play with Holiness if you are going to go very high.
For those who have not given their life to Christ, you are cheating yourself, where you are now is not where God wants you to be. Why not surrender your life to Him to save your soul today so that He can give you a new beginning. Cry unto Him never again to toy with sin.

THE MESSAGE
TEXT- ACTS 3:1-8
GENESIS CHAPTER 28
10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
13 And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God:
22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
FROM LOCKDOWN TO LEAPING UP 5.
The last time we spoke about leaping up from lockdown, we discussed the issue of how high can I leap and we told you that if it's the Almighty God that is lifting you up, the sky does not have to be your limit, it is heaven itself that will be your limit.
NOTE THESE BEFORE LEAPING UP.
1.Before you take off, you must consider landing.
If you are going to fly an aeroplane, it is very easy to take off but landing is an entirely different story.
Before you take off, you must consider landing. WHY? Because Ecclesiastes 7:8 says “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof.”
It is far better to remain ordinary than to become ex-successful.
My prayer for everyone listening to me today is that you will never be an exchampion.
WHY YOU MUST SETTLE THE ISSUE OF LANDING BEFORE YOU TAKE OFF.
One of the most dangerous things that can happen to men is to be successful before they are ready.
Examples from the Bible.
i. 2 Chronicles 26:3-21A boy became a king at sixteen, things began to go very well because he wasn't ready; he ended up leper.
ii.Ephraim.
Genesis 48:8-20
When Joseph brought Ephraim and Manasseh for blessing, he placed Manasseh on the right and Ephraim on the left but the father crossed his hands and placed the right hand on the head of the younger and the left on the older. He said the younger will be far greater than the older.
Deuteronomy 33:17 Ephraim has prospered ten times more than his brother but the prosperity entered his head and became an idol to him.
Hosea 4:17 The Almighty God said Epraim has joined himself to idols, leave him alone.
Hosea 5:9 God said Ephraim shall be desolate.
Luke 14;28-30 Before you build a house you will sit and count the cost, the taller the tower is going to be, the deeper the foundation must be.
Before you begin to leap up; plan for great and mighty things that will come after this lockdown, please, think.
Beloveth children, big success is coming your way.
HOW DO I KNOW?
i.Isaiah 3:10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him.
ii.Colossians 1:27 Christ in you, the hope of glory.
iii.A prophecy came through one of my sons, the prophecy was based on Judges 14:5-14. Out of the eater, food has come.
The Almighty God spoke to my son and said, out of the lockdown, mighty breakthroughs will come for his children.
GENESIS 28:10-22
1. Jacob was running away from home after receiving the blessings from his father.
Some will say, how can God bless a thief who has just stolen his brother’s blessings?
Genesis 12:1-3 God called Abraham and promised to bless him, make his name great, bless those that bless him, …
God said I'm the God of your father Abraham the promises I made to Abraham, I handed it over to you.
Galatians 3:13-14 The Bible says those of us who are christians are also of the seed of Abraham and the blessings of Abraham will be ours.
2. Jacob didn't steal his brother’s blessing, he bought it.
In the olden days, there is what they called trade by barter.
Genesis 25:29-34, Esaus said I wanted food and Jacob said I wanted the birthright of the first born.
He didn't steal, he bought it.
Luke 6:38 If you give, you shall be given.
Proverbs 11:24-25 There is he that scatters and yet increases, the libral soul shall be made fat.
Ecclesiates 11:3 If you load the cloud, finally, it will give you backrain.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God had one begotten son, He wants many more children, so, trade by barter. He released his only begotten son to the world. Romans 8:29 the only begotten has become the first born of many brethren.
WHERE IS THE TRADE BY BARTER HERE?
God said to the young man, I want to be your partner, I will be with you, prosper you and you will be great, what do you say? He said I promise you everything you give to me. I will pay my tithe. I will be like my Dad.
Genesis 14:17-20 My Dad paid tithe to the king of Salem.
When you hear people talking about tithe as a law, Moses wasn't born when Abraham gave tithe and when Jacob made a vow.
Some will say it is under the law Malachi 3:8-1
Galatians 3:29 The Bible says, if you are a Christian, you are a seed of Abraham.
Whatever is true for the seed of Abraham is true for me.
Jacob agreed with God’s offer and promised to be a good boy
THE RESULT OF THE LITTLE DISCUSSION.
Genesis 32:9-10 When he was praying on his way back home, he said to God, when I was crossing this place I had only my staff with me, now I'm returning with two bands.
I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR SOMEONE LISTENING; you entered this lockdown with nothing, by this time next year, as my God lives, you won't even be able to recognise yourself.
HOW?
Genesis 30:27-43 Laban said to Jacob after dribbling him about who to marry, what do you want me to pay you for serving me? He requested for spotted and speckled animals.
Genesis 31:1-13 God had already shown something to Jacob, anytime the animal conceives, he will have a dream and see that the male animals fertilising the female are either spotted, speckled or ringstraked. He pracicalised what God showed him in vision.
DO YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU MAKE GOD YOUR PARTNER, EVERY NIGHT YOU SLEEP, HE WILL SHOW YOU WAYS OF DOING BUSINESS THAT WILL BAFFLE THE WORLD?
He will show you what to do and all you need to do is to wake up and begin to do it .
THE STORY OF A MAN.
He was a manager in his place of work and does not want to continue to say yes sir.
God gave him just one idea; roast peanut with honey. Some years back, when the president of America was being sworn in, his roasted peanut was served. The last time I heard about him, he already have two private jets.
THE STORY OF ANOTHER MAN.
I know a man that couldn't get a job with his qualification. God gave him an idea, he was a very good cook, he began to roast Bean Cake. (Akara) He bought a motorcycle from the money he made. After sometime, he bought the second one. The fellow who had no job become an employer of labour.
Consider Jacob.
Genesis 46:26-27Jacob came to Egypt with 70 souls including the children of Joseph that were already there.
Exodus 12:37 He left with 600 000 men without counting the children.
I DON'T KNOW HOW GREAT YOU ARE NOW, BUT YOU CAN BECOME A NATION.
God can multiply you so mighty that the world will say we have never see this kind before.
If you make God your partner, He will not be a junior partner, He will be your senior partner
Luke 5:1-11 If you allow him to step into your boat, He will become the CEO and move you to higher grounds.
Before you take off, consider your landing, who will be your partner?
PRAYER FOR SALVATION.
If you surrender to Him, you will never regret it.
If you want to surrender to Jesus, call on Him now: please, come and be my Lord and Saviour, I agree to serve You for the rest of my life.
Let’s intercede for them that the Almighty God will receive them, save their souls, bring them into the family of God and give them a new beginning.
I SURRENDER ALL.
Call on the Almighty God yourself and say, Father, i surrender all, be my senior partner, control everything i shall do from now. Control every project and business.
CLOSING PRAYER.
My Father and my God, once again, I want to thank You for Your word and I want to thank You for all Your children who have heard the word and have made up their minds concerning You. I’m asking for those who have just surrendered their lives to You today that You please, receive them, save their souls, let Your blood wash away their sins, be the Lord of all in their lives and give them a brand new beginning.
Please, Lord God Almighty, as many that will say, God, be my senior partner, within a year, embarrass them with Your blessings. I pray Lord that the higher they go, let them be drawn closer to You, in Jesus’ mighty name we have prayed.
AMEN!
Praise the Lord.
HALLELUJAH!

THE MESSAGE
TEXT - MATTHEW CHAPTER 6
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
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.
THE SHORTEST WAY TO THE GREATEST HEIGHT.
We are talking about leaping up from lockdown. In one of our discussions, we have discussed how high the Almighty God can lift you, but there is a saying that the one who doesn't know how his peer prosper will struggle till he dies; if you don't know the secret of the prosperity of your colleagues, you will continue to struggle and trying to catch up with them until you die.
For example, In 2 Kings 4:1-7, the destitute widow paid her debt within a day, became extremely rich and continued to enjoy her life.
1.SOLOMON AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE SHORTEST WAY TO THE GREATEST HEIGHT.
In 2 Chronicles 1:16-15, Soloman offered a thousand burnt offerings to the Almighty God, God came to Him, son what do you want? He asked for wisdom and understanding and gave a reason why he wanted wisdom.
Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Solomon asked for wisdom to judge God’s people rightly.
Jesus Christ said, seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and every other thing will be added.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO PROSPER?
WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE GREAT?
WHY DO YOU WANT TO REACH THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE HEIGHT?
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and every other thing you can ever ask for will be an addition. God will give them to you for free.
THE ORIGIN OF THE HOLY GHOST SERVICE
God asked what I wanted for my birthday gift, I told Him I want a miracle for every member of my congregation, I was seeking His kingdom; I want to do the work He has given me and I want to do it creditably. That is why the Holy Ghost Service has been on since 1986 and is waxing bigger day by day, that is why anywhere in the world I go and say we want to hold the Holy Ghost Service, we don't have to beg people to come.
SOLOMON ASKED FOR WISDOM
i.1 Kings 4:30-31 Solomon was wiser than all men.
ii.1 Kings 10:23 I will make you uniquely wise. Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
iii.1 Kings 4:34 All the people from all kingdoms came to hear Solomon because there was no other person like Him.
God can bless you so much that all the nations of the world will come to you to borrow.
iv.1 Kings 10:1-7 I will make you the richest in addition to wisdom.
The queen of Sheba came to Solomon to surprise and impress him with her wealth, but when she saw his riches, she said half was not told of your riches.
I will give you honour.
WHAT IS HONOUR?
Honour is something you give to somebody who doesn't need anything else.
v.1 Kings 4:24-25 Solomon had dominion over all the region, kings and he had peace on all sides round about.
When the Almighty God says honour me with your first fruit, He was saying i don't need your money but honour me and watch me honour you in return.
2.JESUS AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE SHORTEST WAY TO THE GREATEST HEIGHT
Matthew 6:9-10. When He was teaching the disciples how to pray, He taught them about the will of God. I want Your will to be done; i want your kingdom to come.
MY MEAT IS TO DO THE WILL OF THE ONE WHO SENT ME.
John 4:31-34 Jesus Christ was sitting by the well, a woman came to fetch water and Jesus was talking to the Samaritan woman. His disciples asked Him to eat, He said my meat is to the will of the One who sent me and to finish His work; my meat, that which is more important to me than anything else is to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. He said, i'm willing to do this at any cost.
Mark 14:36 when He was praying at the garden of Gethsemane, He said dying on the cross is a serious matter, can we change it? But, quickly He added, not my will but thine will be done.
WHEN YOU SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, GOD WILL RESPOND
God responded to Jesus.
Philippians 2:9-11 God has highly exalted Him.
How highly?
Ephesians 1:19-22 The Almighty God has placed Him far above principalities and powers and gave a powerful name Jesus, the name that is above every other name
Revelation 19:11-16 God gave Him a title, the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
Seek first His kingdom before you talk about business, protects, …
LEAPING MATERIALLY
God has no objection to material leaping, He has pleasure in your prosperity.
Psalm 35:27 God has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.
3 John 2 I wish above all things that you will prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.
John 10:10 I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO PROSPER?
In 1 Timothy 6:6-10 The Bible says, Godliness with contentment is a great gain.
2 Corinthians 12:15 Is it to spend and be spent for the kingdom of God?
Proverbs 19:4 Wealth attracts friends, do you want to prosper to attract friends into the kingdom of God?
Proverbs 14:20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour. Will you be telling God to prosper you so that you can attract friends to His kingdom?
Luke 8:1-3 Do you want to prosper to become one of His treasurers?
WHY DO YOU WANT TO LEAP SPIRITUALLY?
God wants you to go to great heights spiritually.
John 14:12 the works that I do shall ye do also; and greater works than these shall ye do.
2 Kings 2:9-15 Elisha requested for double portion to:
i. destroy curses. 2 Kings 2:19-22.
ii.destroy the yoke of poverty in the lives of people.
iii.destroy bareness. 2Kings 4:8-17.
iv.He wanted the ability to do great things by helping the people of God.
Do you want the power to establish the kingdom of God on earth or to brag to the whole world?
Do you want the power of the Almighty God to cure the incurable and establish the kingdom of God?
2 Kings 5:1-19 Elijah got the power of God free and made it available free for Naaman.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO LEAP HIGH?
The shortest way to the great height is to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and every other thing shall be added to you.
WARNING
To whom much is given, much will be required.
There is no limit to how high God can take you if you are willing to seek first His kingdom and righteousness.
IF YOU ARE NOT BORN AGAIN, SEEK SALVATION
Those of you who are yet to seek salvation, bow your head and ask Him to please save your soul, bring you into the kingdom and promise Him that you will serve Him for the rest of your life.
CHILDREN OF THE LIVING GOD, SEEK HIS KINGDOM
Those of us who are already children of the living God, why don't we seek His kingdom by winning souls, establishing churches, healing the sick and setting the captives free our priorities and our prayers so that His kingdom can grow?
TALK TO GOD
Intercede for those trusting God for salvation that the Almighty God will save their souls and bring them into the kingdom of God that the kingdom of God may grow and expand that His will may be done on earth as it is in heaven.
ASK FOR GRACE
Promise Him that You will seek His kingdom; if You prosper me, Your kingdom will know that You have prospered a boy/girl and if you anoint me, i will use the anointing for the establishment of Your kingdom on earth.
CLOSING PRAYER
My Father and my God; i want to thank You once again for Your word, for those You have touched, who have decided to seek You and Your kingdom and wanted to surrender their lives to You, please, receive them, save their souls, wash them clean with Your blood, add them to Your kingdom on earth and as You are saving their souls and empower them.
All You children who have determined to put Your kingdom first in everything, empower them like never before so that Your kingdom will grow and Your name will be glorified, in Jesus' mighty name we have prayed.
AMEN!
Let someone shout Hallelujah.
HALLELUJAH!
