When God Says "No"!

From Our Pastor's Desk

Matthew 26:36-39 – “Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith He unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt"  And the Father was silent. 

Matthew 27 45-46  “Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

 Silence, again. I have two daughters whom I love dearly. I would do anything for them.  

I know, if needed, I would lay my life on the line to protect them.  Yet over the years, there have been numerous times that I have said no to their requests. 

Because I know what is best for my daughters. So it is with God.  God knows our needs, and He also sees the "big picture" that you and I cannot see from our limited finite human perspective. Just as we know when to say no to our children whom we love, God knows when to say no to us. 

We pray for patience, when it seems heaven is silent,, in Jesus mighty name. You will have good success this 2021. Remain blessed.   

Shalom.

Deliverance from Poverty

By Sis. Adetola Akinseye

Psalms 112:3-4 – Wealth and riches will be in his house, and his righteous-ness endures forever. Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

Deliverance is defined as “a rescue from bondage or danger.” Deliverance in the Bible is the acts of God whereby He rescues His people from peril. 

Breaking the spirit of poverty comes with having a relationship with Jesus which does not mean that we are free from problems or struggles. 

It is true that many of our battles and struggles in life could be in the spiritual realm which means we will have to wage war, however, many Christians suffer financial lack because they do not understand the type of battle they are against. 

Proverbs 10:15 says; The rich man’s wealth is his strong city; The destruction of the poor is their poverty. God’s promise to us is riches and wealth. 

Wealth is when you have assets and investment; riches is when you have abundance money. The only way we can be set free from financial poverty is to pray and work for God’s promises to manifest. 

Jacob for example, went through a standstill where he had to wrestle with God until things moved for him. Even though tomorrow will take care of itself; but remember that tomorrow is not promised, therefore, we must put in the hard work today to profit tomorrow. 

Today is the day to push your destiny to the path of prosperity, in Jesus mighty name. 

You will have good success this 2021. 

Remain blessed.   

Shalom.

The Time for Deliverance

By Pastor ‘Tayo Adewale

Psalms 30:5 - “For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning”  

This Scripture simply tells us that no matter the situation, no matter the weeping and the amount of tears shed during the night, due to an infirmity or captivity, the time of deliverance comes in the morning. 

The time of deliverance will always come, that your joy will be full.  Deliverance is defined as “a rescue from bondage or danger.” 

Deliverance in the Bible is the acts of God whereby He rescues His people from peril. In the Bible, deliverance is focused primarily on God’s removal of those who are in the midst of trouble or danger.  

We are all in one prison/gate/closed door or the other. That means that we all need deliverance no doubt about that. It could be spiritual, physical, emotional, or financial deliverance.  

Psalms 126:1-2 – “When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them”  

No matter how long the bondage, captivity or danger is, there is always A TIME of deliverance. The time when God will show up to deliver. A time when we cry “enough is enough”, cry to God for help, and when God will lend His hand of help in time of our troubles.  

Brethren, any one that the Son of God has set free is free indeed. Believe it that this month you shall receive your total deliverance and it shall be so in Jesus Name. 

May He continue to strengthen us as we wait unto Him, in Jesus mighty name. 

You will have good success this 2021. Remain blessed.   

Shalom. 

Going About Doing Good - Evagelism Week 2021

 From Our Pastor's Desk

Acts 10:38 - “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him” 

Brethren, we are not here by accident! God, in His infinite wisdom and grace, has chosen us to be at this particular place and at this particular time in history before the foundation of the world so that we could help carry out His plan. His plan? 

That is clearly stated in Mark 16:15 – “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” 

Verse 20 then concluded the chapter with “And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen” 

God specifically anointed Jesus Christ during His earthly walk to go about doing good, setting the captives free. 

We have the same specific instructions "preach the Good News to everybody everywhere." God is counting on us. Don't make the mistake of waiting around until everything gets perfectly straightened out in your life, all ducks lined up perfectly in a row, or when all the stars are aligned, before you begin to reach out to people in need. 

Too often we say, God, as soon as you get me out of all my problems, then I'm going to witness to my family and friends. That is fantasy. 

Let’s stop making excuses. There is no problem, issue or challenge-free life. satan loves for God's people to procrastinate.  Friends, many are dying in their sins, in spiritual destruction. 

The time to speak & witness of God’s love and work of salvation is NOW! We receive the zeal, grace and boldness to “go about doing good and witnessing the Good News”, in Jesus mighty name. 

You will have good success this 2021. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.

3 Players of Deliverance

From Our Pastor's Desk

Psalms 34:17-19 – “The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles…many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all”

 

Deliverance is defined as “a rescue from bondage or danger.” Deliverance in the Bible is the acts of God whereby He rescues His people from peril. 

Whenever we talk about deliverance you need to know that there is warfare involved. 

It means there is somebody who has been captured. There is somebody who captured them and there is somebody who is coming to deliver the one who has been captured. 

So there’s bound to be warfare.  In Luke 8:26-28, we read the story of the madman of Gadarene in his state of "long time complete insanity". 

One day, he recognized Jesus because his eyes of understanding were opened. The good news here is that as the man met with Jesus his situation turned around. 

The Bible states that the man “… had devils long time, and wore no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs…” No matter how long you have been living with that infirmity or issue, the gravity of the issue/problem notwithstanding, today is the day of deliverance on every side. 

You will receive your total freedom and transformation now, in Jesus mighty name. 

You will have good success this 2021. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom. 

October 2021 - Our Month of Deliverance on Every Side

 From Our Pastor's Desk

Welcome to this our new Month of Deliverance on Every Side, in Jesus name. Psalms 34:7 - The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 

What reassuring news! In Luke 8:26-28, we read about the madman of Gadarene in his state of "long time complete insanity" and he recognized Jesus because his eyes of understanding were opened. 

The good news here is that as the man, even a mad man, met with Jesus his situation turned around.  

Ours, no matter how long we have been living with it, gravity of the problem notwithstanding, we will receive our total deliverance in Jesus Name.  

Whenever we talk about deliverance we need to know that there is warfare involved. It means there is somebody who has been captured. 

There is somebody who captured him and there is somebody who is coming to deliver the one who has been captured. 

So there’s bound to be warfare. The captor is satan (John 10:10); the captive is the one that is possessed or troubled. And the deliverer is JESUS (Philippians 2:9-11). 

Mercy Seatizens, welcome to October 2021, “Our Month of Deliverance on Every Side” This month, every situation must bow to Jesus whether the devil likes it or not. Jesus Christ is alive & here today to set the captives free  in Jesus Name. Amen.
