OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES AND SUCKLINGS
TOPIC: Out of the mouth of Babes and Sucklings TEXT: Psalm 8:2; Matthew 11:25; Psalm 19: INTRODUCTION: Micah! Micah! Who is like God. God is a wise God who makes His power, and might, known through what man could not fathom. The reason is to confound the enemies or opposition who would want to hinder or stop His will. His word and His promises are forever settled in heaven and would not return to him void until they accomplish what He purposed them to do. So, no matter what anyone does, they cannot topple His will. What a mighty God we serve. One of the sad issues confronting the Church today is the contention over doctrines. This is not a new thing, as it had been on since the inception of the Church. Paul in writing to the church at Corinth heard there was contention over certain doctrines especially baptism. [...]
KEYS TO A VIABLE ALTAR
TOPIC: Keys to a viable altar TEXT: Psalm 118:5, 10-13; Matthew 24:49 INTRODUCTION: A person who is in a strait tight corner and who is encompassed by enemies incensed with anger and ready to swallow him, needs nothing more than a working altar. We discussed last week how we could repair the altar and today we will be looking at the responsibilities. An altar that has the hand of God in it is always assured of victory and with sounds of joy. The hand of God in it cause mighty things to be done. What men think is impossible becomes possible and the rejected becomes one that cannot be overlooked. For this to happen, the repaired altar must have a sacrifice acceptable to the supervising spirit of the altar. In case of new testament believers, there are two things that are required; faith without which no one can see God. [...]
REPAIR THE ALTAR
TOPIC: Repair the altar TEXT: Psalm 68: 15-20; 2Chronicles 7:14 INTRODUCTION: Last week we talked about arising from sleep and that the main means of rising is prayer. A person that is spiritually asleep has no connection with the spirit realm and hence cannot perceive anything from the spirit realm. They perceive mainly in the physical realm. Prayer is the means by which communication is enabled between the realms, so that help can be obtained from the spirit realm. An altar is a place of communion, a landing pad for the spiritual entity from the spiritual that bring solutions. For communication to take place between the realm a sacrifice must be made by the human. Every altar that is set up has a supervising spirit that manifests when the sacrifice is pleasing and acceptable. The highest and most powerful altar is the cross of calvary and Jesus is the supervising [...]
RISE FROM SLEEP
TOPIC: Rise from sleep TEXT: PSALM 65:1-3; Habakkuk 3:2; INTRODUCTION: Every believer is called (Rom.8:30) into a union with Christ. He is the sole means of spiritual life for anyone who wants intimacy with the God the Father (1Cor.1:9). Jesus assures us that no one can go to the father except through Him. For this privilege, we have to be thankful. However, a lot of believers have forgotten this fact and have sort of slept spiritually by being out of union with Him. It is the union with Christ that brings the glory of the father, and that enables any work for God to be done. To do anything for God, you have to be awake to see what He wants you to do, and this begins in the spiritual realm (John 5:19). God is faithful, in that when He calls a person, and the person is sleeping, He will [...]
MORE LAND TO BE TAKEN
TOPIC: MUCH MORE LAND TO BE TAKEN TEXT: ISAIAH 60:1-3; 55:12,13 INTRODUCTION: One of the features of the end times are the signs that will be manifested on earth and in the heavens. For some, the omens are bad and for the children of God they will be good because they point to the coming of the Lord. To perceive theses signs however, one must be fully awake. This means sensitivity in the spirit to discern and know what God is saying and doing in these times. So many scriptures have highlighted the need to be awake because of God’s visitation. It is only those that are awake that will benefit from it. God visits to see how we are faring in the dominion of the earth. God has given the earth to sons of men. He expects us to dominate all. God promised a land to faithful Abraham, and [...]
THE VOICE OF GOD
Topic: THE VOICE OF GOD Text: Isaiah 55:3; Psalm 29:3-9 INTRODUCTION: It is the desire of God that we hear His voice for by it we were designed to live. Matthew 4: 4 say clearly man must not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from God” It is apparent that Satan having made Adam to listen to him, the first time around, thought he could try it with the second Adam who is Christ. Christ being creator of all things in His encounter with satan teaches us a lesson that if we listen to Satan’s voice, death will result. It is only God’s voice that gives life. This makes it very important and vital that we should seek at all costs to hear the voice of God. God already calls out to us in Isaiah 55:3. 1.The symbolism of the voice: The voice represents a device [...]
