MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A.ADEBOYE
* ANNOUNCEMENT
Theme for March, 2017 Holy Ghost Service - Come and Drink. March 2-4, 2017
February 16-18, 2017 - Special Divine Encounter Services (6-7pm) in the Old Arena. It will be are-transmitted on Feb. 26-28,2017 to round up the fasting. Daddy G.O. will be talking about Special Divine Encounter.
Jn. 8:35 - Jesus Christ said servants don't abide in the house forever but sons can.
The servant still want to go back to his own home irrespective of how nice the master might be. This is because the sons of God abide forever, this "abiding" has serious implications:
1. Ps. 91:1- You will be under the shadow of the Almighty. There will be divine coverage everywhere you go - Ps. 91:4- He will cover us with His feathers. Ps. 91:7-9 - You will only be observing what happens to others. This is DIVINE INSURANCE POLICY
Ps. 27:5- In the time of trouble He will hide me in His pavilion. God keeps His own in His pavilion.
Job 1:8-12- God said to Satan, have you observed My SERVANT Job. Job was a servant not a son. what happened to Job cannot happen to you. God can perform experiments with servants NOT SONS.
Everyone in this world is looking forward to something. 2Tim. 4:12- sons are looking forward to a reward.
Heb. 9:27- those who are not His are looking forward to judgement.
PART B
It is not everybody that calls God Father or Daddy that He calls His son or daughter.
Matt. 21:28-31 - there were 3 sons - one rude but repented, the other deceptive and the third obeyed.
Matt. 26:41-42
Matt. 3:16-17.
Jesus Christ - the first to call God "Abba".
When God finds a special son qualified to call Him DADDY, dramatic things begin to happen in the person's life.
We will compare two people- Jesus Christ and Paul the apostle.
Phil. 2:5-8- Jesus Christ humbled Himself
Phil. 1:21-Paul said to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Acts 16:25-40- Paul and Silas
1. God will shake the heavens and the earth to make sure He meets your needs -Acts 16:25-40
Matt. 28:1-2
Joel 3:16
Earthquakes from God can come in various forms:
Earthquake can come in the shaking of the ground or in the shaking of the whole system.
PRAYER POINT
Father, whatever you have to shake in order to solve my problem, shake it tonight.
2. Nobody can stop you.
You can hold them but you can't keep them - Matt. 28:4
Col. 2:15- He spoilt principalities and powers and made a show of them.
Acts 16:27
Heb. 12:29- Our God is a consuming fire.
PRAYER POINT
Father, in the Mighty Name of Jesus, show them that You are the consuming fire.
3. He will turn your enemies into your servants - Ps. 110:1
Eph. 1:20-22- He raise Jesus Christ high far above principalities and powers
Acts 16:22-34
2 Sam. 22:45-49
There is nothing as good as turning your enemies into your servants.
PRAYER POINT
Father, in Jesus Mighty Name, let all my enemies become my servants.
4. He will see to it that you fulfill your destiny irrespective of what the enemies will do - Acts 4:8-12
1Corin. 2:7-8- Had they known they would not have crucified Him
Acts 16:35-39
Ps. 33:10-11- God will bring the counsel of the heathen to naught but the counsel of the Lord shall stand.
Joseph

5. He can perform special miracles for you but special miracles through you. Mk. 5:25-34- the woman with the issue of blood
Mk. 6:56- as many that touched the helm of his garment
Acts 19:11-12- God performed special miracles by the hands of Paul through his handkerchiefs or aprons.
PRAYER POINT
Father, in the Mighty Name of Jesus, use me also for Your glory. Use me to perform special miracles.
This is the beginning of a miraculous ministry in my life.
6. He will protect those who are close to you for your own sake. Mk. 4:35-41- the storm
Phil. 2:1-11- God has give Him a Name that is above every other Name.
Acts 27:21-25- Paul and those with Him were given divine protection in the midst of terrible storm.
PRAYER POINT
Father, all those who are precious to me, because of me, keep sorrow away from them.
7. He will help you to finish well.
It is not how hard you try that will determine your success. It is the grace of God.
Jn. 17:1-5- Jesus Christ said I have finished the work you gave me to do.
2Tim. 4:7-8- Paul said I have finished well.
Eccl. 7:8- the end of a thing is better than the beginning thereof.
