The Place of Communion in All Round Fruitfulness

Text- Mt. 6:9-25

Introduction:-Today I would want us to examine the subject of communion or fellowship with God. Communion as a word has its roots in two words; “common” and “union”, hence; it talks about sharing in unity and oneness. It involves heart- to- heart dialogue and sharing. It is only correctly done between two people who are united together- Amos 3:3.

1,          Relationship: - The family prayer as instituted by the Lord Jesus Christ lays emphasis on a Father- child relationship-“our Father who art in heaven” God created everything but He is only Father to those who are free from sin. The cold dead soul of the sinner cannot flow with the bubbly living Spirit of the most high God- Isa 59:1-2.

2,         Lifestyle: - “Hallowed be Thy name”

Does your lifestyle- behavior, actions, addressing, dressing, appetite and choices honour God? Do you yield to His will at all times? Remember 1San 2:30-“those who despise Me will be lightly esteemed”

3,         Motive: - Jms. 4:3-“Ye ask …….that ye may consume it upon your lust”.

Any personal agenda to foster ego found in your request to God renders it polluted. Fleshly lusts, canal desires and worldly cravings cannot be funded by God.

4,         Ignorance: - The will of God is revealed through His word. Anyone who is ignorant of this cannot pray to God properly

5,         Unbelief: - Any friendship cannot thrive in distrust. You must trust God absolutely (Heb. 11:6)

Happy moments, praise God; Difficult moments, Seek God; Quiet moments, Worship God; Painful moments, Trust God and Every moments, Thank God. Believe that even though you are not seeing Him, He is close to you for His word says so.

6,         Ingratitude: - When gratitude is shown to God, it positions the grateful to receive more. Ingratitude shuts the bowel of God’s mercies. Murmuring and complaining do not change things for the better but praise brings light and lifts the heavy gates of the darkest captivity to bring freedom.

7,         Lukewarmness: - It moves together with spiritual dryness; it robs the efficacy of prayers. You need to fire up your spiritual life to quit prayerlessness for men are expected to pray and not to faint- Lk. 18:1

8,         Unforgiveness: - God’s love and mercies forbid Him to have anything to do with the prayers from a bitter, unforgiving heart. For you to enjoy the fullness of His blessings and mercies, you must rid your heart of malice and constantly forgive all who wrong you- Mt 18:23-35 and Eph 4: 31-32

Summary: - God desires to have unending fellowship with you but all hindrance must be removed-Isa 1:16-19

Conclusion: - Examine yourself and see is any of these barriers are present. Deal with such now and begin to enjoy sweet, sacred and satisfying fellowship with the all-sufficient God.

The Eagle and its Prey

Texts- Lk 10:19; Ps 91:1 and Mk. 16:17-18

Introduction: The eagle has very amazing characteristics that distinguishes it from other birds. It is in a class of its own. On this note, we shall be bringing out the characteristic features of the eagle as an excellent raptor/ bird of prey  and relating it to our personal lives as Christians who have been destined to be great in all aspects. Remain blessed in Jesus name.

The eagle sees its prey from afar and prepares to attack it immediately-Mt 26:41

As Christians we should not allow things to catch us unawares-

Jealous God

Text:-Deut.  6:15 For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

Introduction:

God has introduced Himself as a jealous God. Today we would like to see some of those things our heavenly father is jealous for. On them He would not look away without acting. We MUST avoid these pitfalls so as not to be on a collision course with the Almighty and“Jealous God”

Remain blessed as we move on in Jesus name.

Divine Finishing is always thourough!

The man Mordecai was no where to be found at the beginning of the book of Esther. By the time the book was concluded, he had become the most prominent, most celebrated and most loved personality-Esth 10:2.
I join my faith with yours and declare that 2015 will not end without you being celebrated in Jesus name.

1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you
will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ

• Every Haman still forming power over your rising shall be removed in Jesus name
• The Lord will connect you with your helpers in Jesus name
• That voice that will promote God'd agenda to lift you shall have the ears of the king today in Jesus name
• Whatever gives support and strength to your oppressors is removed by the finger of God in Jesus name
• You shall end this year in praises, joy, laughter and celebration in Jesus name
• Peace be unto you and all your loved ones this season in Jesus name

Esth10:2-3 And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? For Mordecai the Jew [was] next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed. 

Break Up Your Fallow Ground- Jer 4:3-4

The Parable of the Sower: Mt 13:3-23. Other texts-MK 4:3-22

In examining the Sure Foundation today, we will be examining Jesus parable of the Sower. This parable largely implies that foundation and preparation are crucial to growth and establishment for a Christian that is heaven bound.  The parable of the Sower has some unique recommendations by the Lord Jesus when He hinged the understanding of other parables on the understanding of the parable of the Sower- Mk.4:13

The Living Sacrifice

Romans12:1-3

In the writing of Paul to the Romans, he appealed to the brethren to be a living sacrifice unto God. The very mention of “sacrifice” and “living” in the passage is the point of conflict to any rational and logical person and that is exactly what the Holy Spirit wishes to unravel for our comprehension today.

First we look as the characteristics of a sacrifice which are best explained by the following:

In Judges 11:30-31 Jephthah vowed unto God when he was to battle with the Amonites- And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,  Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering- Jdg 11:30 - 31 .  a sacrifice is a burnt offering.
