TOPIC: YOU CAN NOT CHEAT GOD

MEMORISE:
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." - (Galatians 6:7)

BIBLE READING: PROVERBS 3:5-7 (KJV)

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

MESSAGE:
Years ago, a man who was completely stiff was brought to the RCCG headquarters; he couldn’t move his hands or bend down. We asked him if he would give his life to Jesus, and he did. We prayed a simple prayer, and immediately, he was healed. He was able to kneel, raise his hands, clap, and move his body in ways he couldn’t do before. For about two weeks, he was regular at church services, but after that, he stopped coming. We decided to follow him up, so we visited him at home and asked why he had not been coming to church. He responded by asking us if it was the church that healed him. We told him, “Of course not; it was God, but He used the church.” Then He said, “What then is the problem? If you go to a hospital and you get well, won’t you go home? I came to your church, and I got healed. There is no need for me to keep coming back.” We eventually left him alone, and some months later, as I was driving by, I saw him by the roadside in a worse condition than he was before his initial healing. This time, not only was his entire body stiff, his mouth was wide open, and saliva was dripping uncontrollably from it.

One thing about demons is that they don’t rest. When a demon’s host runs to God and gets delivered from the demon, after some time, it will return to see the state of the fellow. If it sees that the fellow, having received his or her miracle, has decided that he or she doesn’t need God again, it will invite seven more demons that are stronger than it to possess the fellow again. Eventually, the fellow who thought that he or she could use God just to get healed will realise that his or her case has become worse (Matthew 12:43-45).

Some men who are living wayward lives join churches because they want to get married to good Christian ladies. However, they often discover, after getting married, that they have been deceived into marrying someone like themselves who is not genuinely born-again, and also came to the church to look for a Christian husband.

Beloved, in my over 50 years of walking with God, I have discovered that people who think that they can use God and turn their backs on Him always regret it. Never be like such people!

KEY POINT:
Those who try to use God deceitfully always end up regretting their actions.

HYMNAL: 31 YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION

1 Yield not to temptation,
for yielding is sin.
Each vict'ry will help you
some other to win.
Fight valiantly onward;
dark passions subdue.
Look ever to Jesus;
He'll carry you through.
Refrain:
Ask the Savior to help you,
comfort, strengthen, and keep you.
He is willing to aid you;
He will carry you through.

2 Shun evil companions;
bad language disdain.
God’s name hold in rev'rence,
nor take it in vain.
Be thoughtful and earnest,
kind-hearted and true.
Look ever to Jesus;
He'll carry you through. [Refrain]

3 To him that o’ercometh
God giveth a crown.
Through faith we will conquer,
though often cast down.
He who is our Savior
our strength will renew.
Look ever to Jesus;
He'll carry you through. [Refrain]

TOPIC: DON'T TAKE GOD FOR GRANTED

MEMORISE:
"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." - (John 15:5)

BIBLE READING: MATTHEW 10:28-33 (KJV)

28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

MESSAGE:
When I became the General Overseer of RCCG, I decided that everyone who attends our annual conventions would be fed by God during the conventions. I made the decision by faith as I was a pastor and did not have a secular job. I announced that everyone would be fed twice daily during conventions and I showed them (1 Kings 17:4-6) where God fed Elijah twice daily. One of the young men in the church, a baker, volunteered to provide us with bread for breakfast during our conventions, and he did this consistently for some years. One year, however, he decided that he would stop supplying bread because he didn’t like one of the sermons I had preached, but he didn’t inform me of his decision.

During one of the morning sessions that year, we sang and praised God until around 11am as we waited for bread to arrive; however, no bread was supplied. Around noon, I sent for him and asked, “What happened? Did the vehicles bringing the bread break down on the way here?” He said, “No”. Then, I asked him what the problem was, and he replied, “I am not bringing bread anymore.” Immediately, I sent for my wife and asked her, “How much do we have for the evening meal?” We gathered the money together and bought bread for breakfast. Somehow, God helped us to overcome the situation. Years later, I woke up one morning and saw the young baker in front of my house. I asked him, “What can I do for you? You are here very early.” He replied, “I could have come earlier, but I discovered that one of my car’s tyres was flat.” I asked him, “What about the spare tyre?” He said that he had none. This was a man who used to have at least 14 cars.

Beloved, don’t think that you can take God for granted because He is doing some great things through you now. Don’t think that He cannot do without you; in contrast, it is you who cannot do anything without Him and will be nothing without Him, as we see in today’s memory verse. Only foolish people will take the people in power in their country for granted. Therefore, imagine taking the One who is in control of the entire universe (Colossians 1:16-17) for granted. God is way bigger than you, so if you have been taking Him for granted in any way or you have not been honouring Him as you should, repent now.

KEY POINT:
Don't ever take God for granted; you are nothing without Him.

We all know powers pass power. Whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven and whatever we loose on earth is lossed in heaven.

Fulani do not owns the land, my great grand father were not fulanis

Nobody owns this country, we all owns it. Where is their influence

52 children abducted in a catholic church, what happen?

Save your mouth and save your life.

As a Prophet, I am answerable absolutely to God, not to any man.

Why We Invoke Vengeance on the wicked


You need understanding to tame your stand

1. God curses -- we must curse all that curses God's covenant people Genesis 12:3

What to expect at Shiloh 2025


Joshua 18:1/3


1. Our dominion in life is a function of the Word in us Matthew 4:4 (dominion is a function of word encounter) -- Jesus

1 Samuel 3:21 -- Shiloh is ordained a place of appearance. God appears to His people through His word Hebrews 1:3

Dominion here connotes conferment of spiritual authority. No one can achieve authority, its given Philippians 2:9-10 Lule

Authority is in levels 19:17-19 -- one was given authority over 5 cities, another over 10 cities. We need to change level, the joy of living is in making progress Deuteronomy 2:3


2. To give us access to our amazing inheritance in Christ Joshua 18:3 Acts 20:32. Word lazy people can not access their inheritance. Our inheritance is locked up in the book, we need to access them.

Expect to return from Shiloh 2025 all your missing inheritance. Set yourself for an encounter Proverbs 23:18

Every complex problems of life has simple solution with Christ John 9:7


3. Shiloh provides an access to replication of grace including the spirit of just men made perfect Hebrews 12:22-23 Romans 1:11

Keep following God, when you stop following, He will stop making Matthew 4:19

Testimonies are prophetic and produces in the lives of those who believe Revelations 19:10. When you explain away the acts of God, you disconnect yourself from access Matthew 9:21/14:36.


Testimonies weigh the same as the word Isaiah 8:20 Mark 13:37. Only visions are personalised but revelations applies to whomsoever believes.

Impartation of grace requires we remain sensitive in the spirit in order not to miss the catch up moment 2 Kings 2:9-10/15. Don't just come with your body, come with your spirit.

The tables that is set before us Isaiah 25:6-9

There is a star in you but either the star shine or not depends on you Revelation 22:16 (as God has sent Him so He has sent us) Deuteronomy 30:19
