2 SETS OF PEOPLE WHO RIDICULE JESUS:-

#A…

CHRISTIANS as a whole,

As a group,

The church has been ridiculing the Grace of Christ,

Obadiah vs 4.

The mega churches are comparing themselves to the OMEGA.

But God promised the proud,

In Obadiah verse 4,

Even if they dinner and wine with the high and mighty, He will surely destroy them.

WE DON’T call sins, sin anymore,

We call the grace that appears to all men as FREE GIFT

We have ABOUNDANT churches everywhere, whereas,

They serve devil MONDAY TO SATURDAY.

Why living as ungodly.

Why do you crucify Christ everyday,

The SALT OF THE WORD has lost his taste.

The light is getting darkened,

We lift our hands on Sundays to the Holy God,

Only Him knows what the hands has gone through throughout the week.

There are CAMELION,

in the house of God.

I am Pastor this, Right Rev,

we even need Left Rev also.

Are we born with all these titles,

If you meet a preacher, and you don’t put the title before his name is problem.

Many are a just a disgrace to the arm of Christ

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Churches everywhere, and there is no changes in the society.

We win CONVERTS, we don’t make DISCIPLES

To all members of New Arrivals,

MAKE YOUR IMPACT AND BE KNOWN WITH GOOD CREDIBILITY .

#B…

NOW,TO YOU,YOURSELF,

To see how you Ridicule God,

ask yourself this QUESTION:-

“WHY WAS I APPREHENDED”.

Philippians 3:9-12

Why were you stopped and drawn to Christ?

MATTHEW 1:18-19

MARY was commissioned to bring the Savior to the earth

Many would have ridiculed her, saying she might have been wayward,

That’s why she cannot pinpoint who made her pregnant,

Even Joseph nearly succumbed to this evil ,

When he secretly planned to send her away,

Before the INTERVENTION of the Holy Spirit.

You ridicule God when you don’t know the purpose of your coming to the Cross.

Why you are doing what you are doing.

How them will you make your destiny to function.

Mary in the above text was commissioned to bring our Savior to the earth,

And she performed her role to the fullest.

Ridicule is a DEVILS SWITCH MAN,

Ready to derail and program a man from his destiny.

I PRAY, any power speaking derailment into your life,

My God will paralyze them with your testimonies, in the name of Jesus.

DAVID was apprehended to slay Goliath and deliver the children of Israel, and he delivered the mission allocated to him fully.

Even when he faced MUTINY,

uprising in the kingdom.

Even  when Saul tried to kill him,

He hold on to what Paul said

I COUNT  NOT MYSELF TO HAVE “APPREHENDED”

-that APPREHENDED means

TO HAVE ACHIEVED THAT WHICH I WAS CALLED FOR,

BUT,SURELY,I AM SURE OF ONE THING,

THE MARK OF GLORY IS STILL THERE TO REACH Phil. 3:14)

Look at Mosses,

He was called as the DELIVERER of Israel,

His own sister Maryam ridiculed him

That’s why you need to KEEP UR SILENCE in the face of opposition.

Because when your God arise, He will avenge your enemy beyond your reasoning.

GOD turned Maryam to a leper.

I HAVE A MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH(1Samuel 3:11-12)

Am praying for you,

YOUR GOD WILL ARISE,AND HE WILL AVENGE YOU OF YOUR ENEMIES.

Brethen,

-as long as you are in the same league with them,

-As long as you cannot boast of changing clothes,

-As long as you are always living on credit, borrowing from them,

-As long as people knows your financial capability,

You don’t have enemy.

BUT:-

When the God of glory appears in your situation,

When borrowing becomes a thing of the past,

When the man known for his spot, his usual clothing,

Is now clothe with Glory,

Satan will now release one of his potent weapon, called,

RIDICULE.

Come with me to the book of JOHN 5:1-9

This man was at this pool for 38years,

Longing for his miracle,

Now think, can anyone associate with him? in 38years

Can any sane man or woman, say,

He is taking our glory, he is disturbing us.

NOBODY ASSOCIATE WITH A FAILURE,NOBODY.

TODAY IS PROCLAMATION SUNDAY,

SHOUT IT LOUD AND CLEAR:-

I REJECT FAILURE,I SHALL NOT FAIL

IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

But a day came, when The Lord of Glory walked into his life,

As He is doing right NOW into your situation,

TODAY, YOUR POVERTY becomes history,

Infirmities are now SCARS OF HISTORY, in the name of Jesus.

When The Lord of Glory walks into your lives

Is what the PSALMIST means by saying:-

HE SET A TABLE BEFORE ME,

IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES.

Then many will despise you.

That’s why,

-AFTER YOUR:-VICTORY,BLESSING,HEALING,

YOU MUST CONSTANTLY FEED YOUR BODY WITH THE WORD.

Satan knows this, and he will release ridicule to appear,

So that the person in question will stop following the light and the sickness will return,

That’s why Jesus always tell people,

DON’T GO BACK TO SIN,RUN FROM BACKSLIDING.

When a spirit is cast out, he will come back later to check how the house he left was, if found clean, he will go back and invite 7stronger spirit,

-To invade the house and dwell there.

HAVE YOU EVER WONDER HOW DID THIS SPIRIT MANAGE TO KNOW THE BODY IS CLEAN?

Because the GATE IS WITHOUT A WATCHMAN(the Word)OPEN.

Ridicule will not have his way in your life,

In the name of Jesus.

Whatever may bring ridicule into your life, avoid it, even kill it at the bud.

ELI brought ridicule to all his descendant because he choose to please his children,

Rather than God,

He choose to sleep in the comfort of the sanctuary,

His children, anointed, and prepared,

Choose to sleep around with women.

Whereas, the one who guide jealously his annointing ,Samuel,

Chooses to sleep by the altar, guiding it day and night,

According to JOSHUA 1:8.

A man sometimes is the enemy of himself (Prov 18:1-3)

Whenever you are doing things contrary to the WRITTEN WORD,

You are opening the gate of:-

-RIDICULE,SHAME AND REPROACH .

Don’t bring MOCK AND DERISION into your life

Whatever you are doing, concerning your Journey with Christ,

Do it FAITHFULLY.

RIDICULE,MOCKING never last

Proverbs 6:16-19,as long as God hates all this,

His promise to your detractors  is what was written

In the  book of ISAIAH 3:9-11

HOW DO I OVERCOME RIDICULE:-

To overcome Ridicule, always ask The Lord for 4Things

-Holy Spirit to fill and Comfort you

-Courage in the face of ridicule

-Wisdom

-Power to defeat the enemy.(that is, your TESTIMONY)

Rise up on your feet.

PROCLAMATION SUNDAY PRAYERS:

1-Anything glorifying the enemy in my life, expire

2-Whether the world goes up or down, I shall prosper.

3-I shall not end the journey of 2016 with zero, in the name of Jesus Christ.
