MESSAGE TITLE:-

 WHAT MEN DO WHEN THEY “ARRIVED”.

***************************

Scripture reading:-

Haggai 1:1-4

Today, the Lord is speaking to us concerning our attitude after Answered prayers.

Isaiah 59:2 talks about your INIQUITIES.

That Ungratefulness, not coming back to show appreciation makes your Creator disappointed.

But if you cannot show appreciation to Him, at least, extend it to your neighbour by your goodwill.

We have men and women who either do good or engaged in bad actions after being blessed.

Let us look inside our bible to see those who either continue what they are doing before being blessed or those who used their New position to show what they have inside of their heart.

EXAMPLES:-

1- King David proposed to build a house for the Lord

2 Samuel 7:1-3

After God gave King David rest from his enemies, he thought paramount in his heart is “the house of His God”.

2-2 SAMUEL 11:1-4

Proverbs 4:23 says keep thy heart with all diligence, out of it can come good or evil.

The same heart who was longing to do good for the Lord, now opens the hedge of his thought life to satan.

David took Uriahs wife

At the time, when kings go to war,

He considered himself “arrived”.

The person who

-leads praise/worship,

-Who leads others, now retires on his own.

He preferred to be served rather than be the servant.

If you have arrived, ell the Lord to shift your remaining blessings to me. DECLARE IT.

3-King  Belshazzar

DANIEL 5:1-5

Abomination,

he took all the sacred things out of the temple and drank from them.

Pastors beware,

Ushers be careful,

Don’t dip your hands in sacred things that belongs to God.

The finger of God is waiting to judge you.

4-Acts 12:21-23

When you arrived, kill pride

Your best friends are those who stands with you in the days of afflictions.

But when you ARRIVED, you have easy friends.

They are the type who can sell their mamma for a pot of porridge,

-As long as favor is flowing from you to them.

5- King Nebuchadnezzar

Daniel 4:29-33

6- Settling personal scores with your affluence.

SAMSON AS AN EXAMPLE

-fight over girls

-revenge back by setting the philistines farm on fire WHY?

All because of personal scores, not Gods.(Judges Chapter 15)

Many are gifted, empowered, and promoted,

But they use their office to visit the offense of the past.

It’s not in line with heavens wish.

Eccl 7:29

It happens to all, it can happen to you too.

Elijah, David, etc suffers from this

To summarize all, when you arrived,

Don’t embark on journey of:

-Self indulgence(No more conviction from the Holy Spirit)

-self destruction

-reduction in seeking the Holy Spirit infilling

On your way up, beloved,

there is always a demand for more from the Holy Spirit, BUT,

On your way down, the demand diminish.

Before I round up this message, I want to give you all a word of advice given unto Esther by Mordecai.

Esther 4:13-14

What the verse is saying to you is

WHATEVER IS IN YOUR POWER,TO DO POSITIVELY TO OTHERS,DO IT.

GIVE LIVES,

GIVE HOPES,

DONT DESTROY.

GOD BLESS YOU.

SUNDAY MAY 15,2016

Let us rise up and pray this two important prayers before proceeding:-

Pray:

1. Powers, confusing my Christian life, scatter.
2. my umbrella of dishonesty, catch fire.

Greetings:

Peace be unto you

For 2000 years, we have been crucifying one man, but this morning, it’s my job to wake his positive side up.

Message title:

THOMAS SPIRIT.

Scripture reading:

John 20:19-29

Life is a constantly moving issue

Life is never stagnant

When we are stagnant,

We believe we are stuck in the wheel.

We are having a strange set of Christians living the life of Passivity Life of: 

-hmmm

-yeah

-all is well.

-everything goes.

-preach it pastor….

If God really want us to be a speechless, dumb and voiceless generation, will He in His glory create:

-mind?

-mouth?

To think and talk wisdom wise.

Thomas is known as Dydimus,

Which means twins

No one ever refers to him as Thomas the twins, they refers to him as “the doubter”

What does it means to be a doubter

-what if I cannot measure up to the required standard?

-what if I fail this assignment?

-is this effort worth making?

-am not sure if this step is right?

-should I marry her or not?

Doubt in one area can create uncertainty in many areas.

If you have this spirit, Mr Thomas will understand you.

Like other apostles, Thomas walked with Jesus

He was one of the twelve.

2000 years later, we still call him doubting Thomas.

So the question is:

Why do we always throw out the good things a man does, and remember the weakness?

I knew the Thomas we are talking about today very well.

Ask me why?

-He is inquisitive..

-Loves to know,

-He is faithful to the core.

John 14:1-4

Jesus was preparing the disciples for what is about to come.

They all sat there looking as if they understand, and they DO NOT.

That’s Pretence.

Hailing the preachers preaching and still you cannot grab the real and full meaning of what he is preaching on.

Oh yah, hum (sigh of Pretence)

That is our reactions to issues.

But, What he said in verse 5 plainly shows that he is a real man.

Straight talk, plain, practical man.

Many Christians need deliverance.

After Jesus Resurrected,

The fame of his Resurrection went abroad.

And that’s where Thomas got his name.

Let us picture it,

What Thomas was saying to others was:-

-did you really saw the Messiah?

-did you touch Him?

-why should I believe a bunch of you liars who abandon Jesus at the crucial hour only to resurface with another bunch of rumor of his Resurrection?

That’s a real man’s reaction.

Passion and Pain coexist

-Unless I see his hands, the nail print, I will not believe.

The messiah have transformed his life.

He witnessed all the miracles, healings

But in between the “price of the Cross and the promise of the Resurrection, Thomas doubted.

He proved two things:

-you can have faith, see miracles and

-still have questions.

Apostles Paul said:

“That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection (he too sound as a doubter)Phil 3:10

Ask questions when it is still not clear.

What am drumming inside you is ALWAYS Insist on Validation.

Everyone has doubt, even if you think you are clever.

You are not faithless because you have questions.

If you don’t have questions, something is wrong with you.

Your doubt can never, never define your life.

Thomas doubted, yes, but he made a great disciple.

Doubt is not the same as Unbelief

Doubt always look for fact.

Doubt is trusting Jesus to prove his faith.

Doubt is disagreeing with others.

It is Reservation of faith.

It means I have no clue, but am staying here Until I find out.

If you don’t have a clue to Tithe blessing, you can never be a faithful thither.

Answers are only found in places where questions exist.

The enemy have many convinced that “that thing(sickness, failure etc)can not be corrected.

But the inquisitive mind always found out and are led to their place of blessing.

Learn this beloved,

Jesus loves you, and when you take Him to test, He will prove himself to you.

He is the only disciple that touch Jesus after the Resurrection

-to Mary Magdalene (John 20:17)

who first saw Jesus, she was not allowed to touch Him

He knew how Jesus felt.

He touch Him, others don’t

Doubt brings out the spirit of revelation in him.(John 20:28)

So from today, take ALWAYS the bold step of:

“I want to know you, and the power of your resurrection”.

And the result is Jesus revealing Himself to you.

God bless you all.

“I NEVER KNEW YOU, DEPART FROM ME”.

7 tragic words from heaven.

In this month of deliverance of the mind,

We are rounding up as we are looking at the tree and its fruit.

7 Terrible words from heaven.

Scripture reading:-

Matt 7:15-23

THE LIFE OF JOB:-

From chapters 1,2,&3

-chapter one speaks of his values.

Four great attributes are ascribed to Job: perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed[shunned] evil. His life could not have been more exemplary.

-chapter 2 speaks of how Job recognized that both good and evil come from God’s hand, though one by His active will and the other by His permissive will.

-chapter 3 speaks of a man with whose spirit is broken, weighed down by his surroundings.

Let us start this message by dealing with earthly comments before going to spiritual and heavenly comments.

Here on earth, many are fond of

-wishing they have never met others.

Husband say this to their wives,

“I wish i never met you”

Friends do the same.

Even some parents uttered the same to their children.

I came across a door mat that says

“Shit, not you again”

Am praying for you,

The blood of Jesus, shall wipe away, any evil Anointed tongue that have expressed this statement to you.

-We have “Over my dead body” expression

-We have “even if heaven come down syndrome “,I will not do this, and they always do.

Why should you, a child of God utter those and many others that cannot be mentioned.

Proverbs 21:19

It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and angry woman.

That woman, man, there is YOU.

Can we say the garment you show up today, is the same you have all the week.

Now, enough of the worldly comments on you, let us move to the most tragic heavenly comment.

Matt 7:23

I never knew you, you are a worker of iniquity.

Despite all the casting out of demons,

Despite all the healing crusade,

Despite all the prophecies,

They are all works of Iniquity.

At the end of the day,

All is worthless.

This is the most tragic word ever to be spoken to Christian

In Gen 3:9

God called unto Adam,

“Where are thou”

Put your name there and say

-Kayode, where are thou?

We will know soon,

where your values are,

so are your thought lives.

That word, where art thou, is a sign of Lost Destiny.

If you are here today, and you have lost your bearing,

The Resurrection power of God shall fall on you, and the scale, upon your eyes shall disappear.

What will happen to all your:

-services

-fasting

-evangelism

On that day,

No lawyer to stand for you,

no appeal.

Luke 16:24-25

Father Abraham kept saying the same thing to that man:

“Son, remember, Son, remember.

-remember when you steal your tithe.

-remember the man you are secretly sleeping with.

-remember your fake behavior of holier than thou.

-remember the lies and deception you are good at.

Do you know,

-that many will “almost get to heaven”

But beloved, almost is not perfection.

Nowadays, we see and belief that many are sure of a place in the heavenly place because of their display in churches.

But in heaven, the certificate in their hands actually read:

“ALMOST THERE”.

-almost there can never make rapture

-almost there can never hear “Welcome you good and obedient servant.

-almost there is a man with an underwear of hypocrisy

Today, you have another chance

One more chance, to repent and retrace your step.

If you don’t, the age of mercy may not come.

And the gate of mercy may be closed.

Tremble today, because the 7 tragic words may come anytime.

I NEVER KNEW YOU, DEPART FROM ME.

Rise up:-

Bow down your head, and begin to ask the Lord,

-to readjust your life, to take away whatever is in your life that will allow the voice of

  “I DONT KNOW YOU,DEPART FROM ME,

To sound on you, must be cut off.

2-I reject to be a borrowed Vessel, in the name of Jesus.
