The Products of God’s Power by Pastor Paul Enenche

POWER COMMUNION SERVICE – 14TH NOVEMBER 2018
ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S): ACTS 10:38; PSALM 62:11
MESSAGE TOPIC: THE PRODUCTS OF GOD’S POWER
BY: DR. PAUL ENENCHE

SERVICE OBJECTIVE: Understanding what the power of God has to deliver

The power of God is a very crucial asset for the child of God; it is a non-negotiable necessity for the Christian journey
The power of God is not just for pastors or evangelists or teachers, it is for every child of God (Acts 1:8)
The power of God is one of the most precious and prized possession that anybody can possess; it is one of the most important equipment that a child of God must possess in his/her journey of life

WHAT THE POWER OF GOD IMPARTS THE CHILD OF GOD TO ACHIEVE:
1. The capacity to prevail over the forces of life; the capacity to overcome your fears (Gen. 32:28; 1Sam. 16:13, 17:49-50)
Your life can easily be buried cheaply where power is lacking
Before a person can make progress, forces must be overcome
To attain victory and remain victorious requires power
The difference between travailing and prevailing through life is power
It takes power to win the battles of life; the battles of your life will answer to power (Eph. 6:12)
In order not to end as a victim, you need power

2. The capacity to overcome resistance and take delivery of your possessions (Deut. 8:18; Josh. 17:16-18; Prov. 11:16; Josh. 19:47-48; Matt. 11:12; Eph. 1:3)
It takes power to take what is yours
It takes power to take territories and enlarge spiritual territories
Powerlessness makes the devil to cheat a person out of their inheritance and makes one live below their rights
Many things are not in your hands now, not because God has not released them, but because there are forces resisting them from entering into your hands and it takes power to force them to release what is yours
What is yours does not come to you because you deserve it, but because you demand it (Matt. 11:12)
What you are going to take in God is determined by the level of spiritual force you are ready to unleash
The world doesn’t belong to the timid.

3. The capacity to fulfil your mandate and purpose in life (1 Sam. 10:1; Micah 3:8; Acts 10:38; 1 Sam. 16:13; Prov. 19:21; Ps. 27:10)
The capacity to become all that God wants you to become and reach where God wants you to reach requires power
You need power to be positioned in your life’s assignment
As a child of God you need to be wired rugged so that when the forces that stop others try to touch you, they shall encounter barbed wire!
You need power to become what witches and ancestral powers said you cannot become
Divine mandate always attract enemy battles; Divine assignment always attract enemy confrontation

4. The capacity to rescue souls and change lives for God (Acts 1:8; 10:38)
You need power to rescue generations and make a difference

5. The capacity to take territories and disciple domains for God (1Kings 17:1; Hab. 2:14; Exo. 4:17; Deut. 28:1-13`)
It takes power to dethrone the enemy over localities and to bring territories into subjection for God (Hab. 2:14)

SECRET OF POWER:
1. The life of prayer (Gen. 32:24-28; Luke 3:21, 9:29; 1Thess. 5:17; Eph. 6:18; Jam. 5:16-18)
To outgrow prayer is to outgrow power
Pray like you breathe
Your worship, praise and appreciation are part of your prayer
Pray when you feel like praying because God is trying to do something, and pray when you don’t feel like praying because the devil is trying to do something
To toil with prayerlessness is to embrace powerlessness

PRAYERS
Father, I make demands on a fresh baptism of prayer. I receive it now! Father, I receive a fresh baptism of fire and power to prevail over the forces of life, to overcome resistance and take my inheritance; power to fulfil Your mandate for my life, change lives, disciple domains and take over territories. I receive power for that NOW!

Father, by this Communion, I receive increase in spiritual fire power NOW, in Jesus’ Name

COMMUNION FOCUS (REVELATIONS 5:12):
Communion of power!

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
– Everything belonging to you that the devil has kept back is being released now!
– Receive increased spiritual fire power! Every demon of coldness, lukewarmness, powerlessness, and defeat is arrested in Jesus’ Name!
– Whatever my Father in Heaven has not planted in your life is uprooted right now!
– This communion tonight will break every family, ancestral, generational curse and everything preventing you from fulfilling God’s power for your life is broken!
– What the devil feared about your life shall come to pass! You shall fulfil your destiny and become all that God has purposed for you to be.
– Freshness of power is coming upon your life and the fear of the devil shall come upon him
– Every demon of lukewarmness, timidity, cowardice by the Power of this Communion is broken, the bulldog tenacity to take what is yours is released
– Whatever is working contrary in your life is deleted now in Jesus name.

Teens Open Heavens 15 November 2018 – Taking Grace For Granted?

Topic: Taking Grace For Granted? [Teens Open Heavens 15 November 2018]

Memorise: God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? – Romans 6:2

Read: Romans 6:1-5 (KJV)

Bible In One Year: Ezekiel 10-12, Hebrews 11:1-9

MESSAGE:

Just as certain as things are peculiar to champions, ex-champions also have things in common to them. When we look at the prayer of Samson, an ex-champion in Judges 16:28, the first he said was, “Remember me on Lord!” Why was he asking to be remembered? It is because people don’t easily remember ex-champions. It is the champion’s crown that is revered by many, not the one wearing the crown. When the crown goes, so goes everything the crown attracted. Samson also said “strengthen me”. Strength is an invisible force. Philippians 4:13 says you are enabled to do all things by the strength that Jesus supplies.

Another thing that Samson said was “strengthen me this once”. As a believer, you ought to learn a thing from this. He did not ask for restoration several times but just once. Have you been falling and rising? Do note that when Samson fell, he asked for restoration just once. God always receives backsliders, but not when you take His grace, mercy and love for granted. If you once fell and asked for forgiveness, remain in Christ. Stop taking His grace for granted.

Action Point: Do not take God’s grace for granted.

Hymn 7:

1. I am Thine 0 Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

3. Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!

4. There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

MFM Daily Devotional 15 November 2018 – Rejecting Partial Miracles

MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 15 November 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Rejecting Partial Miracles

TOPIC: Rejecting Partial Miracles (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 15 November 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Mark 8:22-26

MEMORY VERSE: “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:” – Philippians 1:6

The MESSAGE:

To have anything in a partial form simply means to have it incomplete, and it also means to have it unfinished. To reject it is to say ‘No’, to refuse, to renounce and to discard. In the Fire Scripture, the blind man’s restored sight was not complete. If Jesus had not asked the man that simple question, the man could have been seeing men as trees, thinking that is the way normal people see. Or if the man was in a hurry to depart from Jesus, he would have left Him without receiving complete sight. The so-called miracles most of us are enjoying today may simply be termed partial miracles. To explain better, miracles do occur, but the problem is that majority of Christians are victims of partial miracles. When Jacob encountered the angel, the angel wanted to leave after the partial encounter, but Jacob refused, for he knew the encounter was not yet complete. He declared, “I will not let you go until you bless me…”

Miracles are partial when you receive the promise, the revelation, the dream but no physical manifestations; they are also partial when you begin to receive the signs that the miracles have started happening physically but get terminated before it is completed. Miracles are partial when you begin to tell people that God had started working: you got the signs but no perfection. Miracles are partial when you have manifestation during prayer sessions, demons jumped out, but physically no signs and wonders follow. Miracles are partial when your case is being mentioned by the man of God, but no physical manifestation occurs. A sister believing God for the fruit of the womb had dreams several times that she was pregnant after series of prayers, but she was still awaiting the blessing of a baby. Men of God might have confirmed this with good revelation but no physical manifestation.

Partial miracles can sometimes be more dangerous than lack of miracles. It may be allowed by God to test our faith, perseverance and our calmness. Sometimes these partial miracles are due to satanic interferences. Inability to pray until something happens may be a reason for partial miracle. Over familiarity with God, not recognising and acknowledging the Holy Spirit, as the Chief Executive Officer, complaints, murmurings and having little faith are among the reasons for partial miracles. As you pray the following prayers, the Lord Jesus shall give you a perfect and second touch, in Jesus’ name.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
WHEN THERE IS NO CHANGE AND REPENTANCE, THERE WILL BE NO COMPLETE DELIVERANCE.

PROPHETIC WORD:
By the power that perfected the creation of the earth, your life shall be perfected.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. O Lord, arise and give me my complete miracles, in the name of Jesus.
2. Powers accusing me before my God, die by fire, in the name of Jesus.
3. Wicked spirits in the heavenly places saying “No” to my complete miracles, die, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING
4. Powers of failure and disappointment at the edge of breakthroughs, die by fire, in Jesus’ name.
5. My Father, lead me out of my village’s hindrances and darkness into my city of miracles, in Jesus’ name.
6. As from today, I refuse to see men as trees, in the name of Jesus.
7. My Father, make me whole and complete all You have started in my life, in Jesus’ name.

TREM Devotional 15 November 2018 – Your Story Will Change

Topic: Your Story Will Change [TREM Devotional 15 November 2018]

“Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not” Genesis 45:9 KJV

Joseph became the Prime Minister in Egypt. What he saw about himself finally came to pass. His brothers came and bowed before him just like he said. By this time, his brothers didn’t recognize him. He had to tell them: “I am Joseph”. His story has changed. Your story will change! By the time God is through with you, all your peers will not recognize you. Your detractors will not recognize you.

You see, Joseph’s brothers couldn’t recognize him but he could recognize them because they have not changed. They have not changed because they failed to see themselves the way God saw them. When you fail to see yourself the way God sees you, there will be no change. “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 3:18 KJV)

In the midst of lack, what are you seeing? What are you seeing about your meal barrel? What are you seeing about yourself? Are you going to die in penury? What you see is what you will manifest. While you are in your one room apartment, are you seeing yourself in a flat? Are you seeing your dining table? Are you seeing your settee? Don’t ever forget; what you see is what you get. The devil is trying to make you paint a different picture of yourself with the present-day situation. You don’t belong there. You belong to the kingdom of great people. Your father is a great God. That is your root. Your root is the root of greatness. Don’t settle for anything less.

DCLM Daily Manna 15 November 2018 – Seek The Lord

Topic: Seek The Lord [DCLM Daily Manna 15 November 2018 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: Zephaniah 2:1-15 (KJV)

Key Verse: “Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger“ (Zephaniah 2:3).

MESSAGE:

Our God is merciful; yet, He is a God of judgment. He has reserved a day in which he would judge the world for her wickedness. Jesus established the certainty of this end-time judgment: “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven…and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” (Matthew 24:30, 31).

Verse 4 to 15 of the text explains the inevitability of God’s judgment upon nations that made themselves enemies of Judah. Similarly, God’s judgment upon all categories of sinners and backsliders all over the world is imminent. “The great day of the Lord is near, it is near; and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly” (Zephaniah 1:14).

The only escape route from the imminent indignation is to “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon” (Isaiah 55:6, 7). Mercy and pardon await every penitent sinner who comes to the Lord in genuine repentance.

Sinners should repent and turn away from their sins and come to Him with a broken and contrite heart to receive forgiveness and pardon. It is dangerous to face the awful judgment of God!

Thought For The Day: Seek God to avoid His wrath.

Our Daily Bread 15 November 2018 Devotional – Dangerous Distractions

Topic: Dangerous Distractions [Our Daily Bread 15 November 2018 Devotional]

Read: John 13:31–35, Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 1–2; Hebrews 11:1–19

Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples. John 13:35 nlt

Artist Sigismund Goetze shocked Victorian-era England with a painting entitled “Despised and Rejected of Men.” In it, he portrayed the suffering, condemned Jesus surrounded by people of Goetze’s own generation. They were so consumed by their own interests—business, romance, politics—that they were shockingly oblivious to the Savior’s sacrifice. Indifferent to Christ, the surrounding crowd, like the mob at the foot of Jesus’s cross, had no idea what—or who—they had missed.

In our day as well, believers and unbelievers alike can easily become distracted from the eternal. How can followers of Jesus cut through this fog of distraction with the truth of God’s great love? We can begin by loving one another as fellow children of God. Jesus said, “Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples” (John 13:35 nlt).

But real love doesn’t stop there. We extend that love by sharing the gospel in hopes of drawing people to the Savior. As Paul wrote, “We are . . . Christ’s ambassadors” (2 Corinthians 5:20).

In this way, the body of Christ can both reflect and project God’s love, the love we so desperately need, to both each other and to our world. May both efforts, empowered by His Spirit, be a part of cutting through the distractions that hinder us from seeing the wonder of God’s love in Jesus.

Read the Discovery Series booklet Truth with Love: Sharing the Story of Jesus at discoveryseries.org/hp141.

To a world living in the fog of distraction, we bring the light of the good news of Jesus.

INSIGHT:
Consider those Jesus chose as His first disciples (Luke 6:13–16). While they were all men and all Jewish, there was much that could (and sometimes did) divide them. Most were from Galilee in the north, but one (Judas Iscariot) was from Judea in the south. While most were fishermen (Mark 1:16–20), Matthew was a tax collector (Matthew 10:3) who served the Romans—harming his own people. Matthew would have been despised by everyone, especially Simon the Zealot (v. 4), a member of a radical Jewish group determined to drive Rome out of Israel. Add to that the attempts by James and John to seek higher places of honor in the kingdom (Mark 10:35–37), and you have a fertile environment for friction. These factors and more would have intensified the difficulty of loving one another. Yet, just as we love God because He first loved us, we love one another—despite our differences—in the power of the love we have received from God. As we seek to dwell together as followers of Christ, loving one another isn’t easy, but it’s vital.

Do you need God’s help to love a particular person in an intentional way this week?

Churches Use Political Pressure, Small-Dollar Loans to Fight Predatory Payday Lending

Churches Use Political Pressure, Small-Dollar Loans to Fight Predatory Payday Lending



(RNS) — Anyra Cano Valencia was having dinner with her husband, Carlos, and their family when an urgent knock came at their door.


The Valencias, pastors at Iglesia Bautista Victoria en Cristo in Fort Worth, Texas, opened the door to a desperate, overwhelmed congregant.


The woman and her family had borrowed $300 from a “money store” specializing in short-term, high-interest loans. Unable to repay quickly, they had rolled over the balance while the lender added fees and interest. The woman also took out a loan on the title to the family car and borrowed from other short-term lenders. By the time she came to the Valencias for help, the debt had ballooned to more than $10,000. The car was scheduled to be repossessed, and the woman and her family were in danger of losing their home.


The Valencias and their church were able to help the family save the car and recover, but the incident alerted the pastoral duo to a growing problem: lower-income Americans caught in a never-ending loan cycle. While profits for lenders can be substantial, the toll on families can be devastating.


Now, a number of churches are lobbying local, state and federal officials to limit the reach of such lending operations. In some instances, churches are offering small-dollar loans to members and the community as an alternative.


The opposition is not universal, however: Earlier…

Seeds of Destiny 15 November 2018 Devotional: The Dominion Mandate of The Blessing

Topic: The Dominion Mandate of The Blessing [Seeds of Destiny 15 November 2018 Devotional]

Scripture: And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah,… And he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot…. Genesis 14:15-16

Thought For The Day: When you are blessed, you are empowered unto victory in battle.

Yesterday, we saw that being established in the Blessing is a non-negotiable requirement for existence in the realm of dominion and authority in life.

Today, we are going to see how the Blessing positions a person in the realms of authority and dominion.

Now, how does the Blessing position a person in the realm of authority and dominion?

1. The Blessing establishes a leadership mandate on the life of the blessed
The Blessing makes leaders out of ordinary people. It puts the blessed in command spiritually, financially, academically, etc. Beloved, whatever makes you blessed, puts you in front ahead of others.

2. The Blessing empowers the blessed for the conquest of resistance
When you are blessed, you are empowered unto victory in battle. In Genesis 14:13-16, Abraham, the blessed, went into battle and destroyed the army of four nations. So, the Blessing is not gentle; it is a powerful force.
Beloved, you are not permitted to be blessed and end in defeat.

3. The Blessing empowers the blessed to rise to the top
No power on earth is strong enough to prevent the rise of the blessed; to be blessed is to rise in life.

Beloved, I decree the release of God’s Blessing on your life, in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: When you are blessed, you are empowered unto victory in battle.

Assignments:
1. Make demands on the Blessing of God upon your life.
2. Determine to exercise your dominion mandate as a blessed child of God.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: THE POWER OF THE BLESSING

Prayer: Father, by Your Blessing upon my life, I decree the termination of every resistance against my life and destiny. Nothing can prevent my fulfilment in life, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

Kenneth Copeland Devotional 15 November 2018 – Put Love to Work

Topic: Put Love to Work [Kenneth Copeland Devotional 15 November 2018]

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. – 1 Corinthians 13:13

What do you do when you’re facing a particularly stubborn problem? A problem that resists your every effort to solve it?

Put the power of love to work on it! The power of love is the greatest power in the universe. It’s beyond defeat. It never fails (1 Corinthians 13:8).

The Bible says God is love. So when you release love into a situation, you have released God into it. Think about that! When you start releasing love into a situation, Jesus becomes responsible for its success.

What is this love I’m talking about?

First Corinthians 13 tells us it’s patient and kind. It’s not jealous or haughty or conceited or rude. It doesn’t insist on its own way. It’s not touchy or resentful and it pays no attention to a suffered wrong.

Love rejoices when right and truth prevail and it bears up under anything and everything that comes. It’s ever ready to believe the best of every person. Its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and it endures everything without weakening.

The person who refuses to love is missing out on the very best God has to offer.

Don’t you miss out on any of it. Release love every moment into every situation, every prayer and every thought until it totally consumes your life. It will strengthen you and cast out every fear that has robbed you of God’s greater blessings. It will drive the devil out of your affairs and set you free from every torment of darkness.

Put love to work on the stubborn problems in your life. It’s the one solution they’ll never be able to resist.

Andrew Wommack Devotional 15 November 2018: Chose To Serve

Topic: Chose To Serve [Andrew Wommack Devotional 15 November 2018]

Matthew 26:51 “And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear.”

In Romans chapter one, Paul calls himself a servant of Jesus Christ. Out of the six Greek words for “servant” used in the New Testament, Paul used one of the most slavish terms possible. The word used in this passage is “doulos” and comes from the root word “deo” which means “bind.” Paul literally speaks of himself as a bondman or slave of Jesus Christ – a slave by free choice; yet owned and purchased by Jesus Christ.

The idea of being a love-slave by choice comes from Old Testament passages such as Exodus 21:2-6 and Deuteronomy 15:12-17. If an Israelite bought a Hebrew slave, he must set him free in the seventh year. However, if the slave loved his master and said, “I will not go away from thee,” then a hole was to be bored through the lobe of his ear pronouncing him a bond-slave forever.

Jesus is the supreme example of selflessness – He puts others ahead of Himself.

We see clearly from Jesus’ example, that the way to exaltation in God’s kingdom comes through humility and servanthood to others. Christ’s humiliation, displayed in His coming to earth as a man, is not only a lesson in Christology but also an example to all believers of what greatness in God’s kingdom entails. Let this attitude of heart, taken from the example of Jesus Christ, continue to motivate all true believers in Jesus Christ.

The Creator became the creation; the Lord became the servant; the Highest became the lowest. All of this was done because of God’s great love for us.
