Topic: Lord, Trouble My Water! Stir Up My Miracle! [Sunday 16 July, 2017]

(John 5:1-9).

Vs. 4 of today’s scripture reveals: “For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whoseover then first, after the troubling of the water stepped in, was made whole of whatsover disease he had.” Note the words “CERTAIN SEASON,” it was not a regular meeting or event, maybe once or twice a year. The ODM January and July fasting programmes and two special WORLD ANOINTING SERVICES are like this pool where people from all works of life and from all over the world gather with different and diverse issues, expecting the water to be troubled (stirred) in their direction. The miracle of everyone in that pool was encapsulated in the water but it had to be STIRRED UP.

In this 14- fast or the annual 21-day fast are seasons of STIRRING UP THE WATER! I prophesy that in this July end-of-fast Anointing Service, your miracle and evidence will be stirred up for you in Jesus Christ name. Today, the WATER that is stirred up is the WORD OF GOD! Eph. 5:26 declares: “That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word.” And 1 John 5:6 says: “This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ…………” So each time the Word of God is stirred, your miracle is being stirred. Get ready for the stirring of water on Saturday July 22nd at the last-day WORLD ANOINTING SERVICE at Manna Mountain Ogudu-Orioke, Lagos, Saturday July 22nd, 7 am.

Come with faith, and your written prayer points as I am led to lay hands on everyone present! That one WORD that will dismantle satanic roadblocks, DELAYS and barriers will be stirred up for you. It does not matter how long you have been delayed, the WORD that will destroy the root of that delay shall be stirred up in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. What you could not do, the WORD will do for you! Note that the sick man could not come in contact with the water for 38 years. He was DELAYED for 38 years! Whatever he was looking and waitin for, for 38 years, came looking for him!

I Prophesy: Whatever you are looking and waiting for all these years will look for you now by fire! Also, the rule of TURN-BY_ TURN will SCATTER! Don’t give up now! Stir up that testimony through expectation because the expectation of the righteous shall not be cut off. This is your year!

Today is DAY 8 of the 14-day fasting program. PRAY THE GENERAL PRAYERS ON PAGE 93 AND PRAYERS ON PAGE 53 OF THE “WAR AGAINST HAMAN -12” booklet.

Sow your “ACHAN-MUST-DIE/ANTI DELAY SEED” INTO ANY ACCOUNT ON PAGE 29 OF ODM OR PAGE 44 OF “WAR AGAINST HAMAN -12” booklet and get your ANTI-DELAY PSALM which you will pray for 3 weeks.

Prayer Points: Take your best worship song now.

Topic: Solving the Problem [Sunday July 16, 2017]

Lord, grant us peace; for all we have and are has come from you. — Isaiah 26:12 (TLB)

Only a few years ago children were delighted at the prospect of a trip to the wharves to see the great ships come in. Today they are blasé about helicopters and jet planes. We who once marveled at the telegraph now take for granted the far greater miracle of television. Not so long ago many of the physical diseases were termed hopeless and incurable.

Today we have drugs so effective that age-old diseases are becoming rare. We have accomplished much, of that there is no doubt. But with all this progress, we have not solved the basic problem of the human race. We can build the highest buildings, the fastest ships, the longest bridges—but we still can’t govern ourselves, or live together peacefully and with equality.

Prayer for the day: In loving and being loved by You, there is all I have longed for, my Savior, Jesus Christ.

Topic: The Goodness of God [Sunday July 16, 2017]

Luke 12:5 “But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”

LUKE 12:4-5

Second Timothy 1:7 says, “God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” First John 4:18 says, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” These scriptures may look like they are contradictions to Jesus’ statement here; however, they are not.

There are two kinds of fear. The American Heritage Dictionary defines fear as “a feeling of alarm or disquiet caused by the expectation of danger, pain, disaster, or the like; terror; dread; apprehension.” It also defines fear as “extreme reverence or awe, as toward a supreme power.”

It is this reverence or awe that God’s Word teaches saints to have towards God. Hebrews 12:28 says that there is a godly fear with which we are supposed to serve God and thereby implies that there is an ungodly fear that is not acceptable in serving God.

Satan has always used this ungodly dread or terror to torment godly people. Those who have been born again should have no dread or terror of God unless they are planning to renounce their faith in Jesus as their Savior. We have a covenant that guarantees us acceptance with God (Eph. 1:6), as long as we hold fast to our profession of faith in the atoning blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

For an unbeliever, the fear of the Lord is a great deterrent from sin. However, for those of us who have received the grace of God, it is His goodness that causes us to fear him and depart from sin. His goodness is awesome!

Topic: Reconciled You in the Body of His Flesh [Sunday July 16, 2017]

“And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreprovable in His sight.” – Colossians 1:21-22 (KJV)

From the above text, you will see that not only did Jesus save you from sin; He has reconciled you in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, unblameable and unreprovable in God’s sight. This isn’t something God is trying to do or going to do; He has already done it through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. So this isn’t a promise; it is a statement of fact! You have been reconciled with the Father and the latter part of the scripture clearly reveals to you the reason for the reconciliation: to present you holy, blameless and without reproach in God’s sight.

Child of God, it doesn’t matter what anybody thinks about you! God says you are holy, faultless and irreproachable. That is who you are to Him. That is how He’s presented you to Himself in Christ Jesus – holy and free of all accusations. This is where your audacity of faith comes from. This is the reason we’re bold as Believers to make demands on His name, decree a thing and see it come to pass. It is because our righteousness is of Him. It isn’t because of what you did or didn’t do. No! It’s because of what Jesus did.

You are free from all accusations. You can no longer be held bound by sin, guilt, and condemnation because God has reconciled you to Himself through the shed blood of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. I encourage you to stand before the mirror of God which is His word and see that you are faultless. Look into the word and see that you are justified, free, discharged, acquitted, no appeal and case closed.

Topic: Our Great Deliverer [Sunday July 16, 2017]

Text: Judges 3:12-31

Key Verse: “But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded…” (Judges 3:15)

The death of Joshua brought about an entirely new situation in Jewish history and life. For the first time, the Jewish people were independent in their own homeland. Moses and Joshua were each the General, Prime Minister and Chief Rabbi, all rolled into one. After their death and the expiration of that generation, there arose another generation which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which He had done for Israel.

The new generation of Israel forgot the God of their fathers and followed other gods and served Baal and Ashtaroth, the gods of the people that were round about them. God was angry with them and delivered them into the hands of spoilers and their enemies. They were greatly distressed. In spite of their backsliding, when they cried unto the Lord, He raised up judges who delivered them from their oppressors. Ehud was the second judge that God raised to deliver Israel.

He was left-handed and this gift aided his plot to kill Eglon, king of Moab, who was oppressing Israel at that time. The Lord delivered Moab into the hand of Israel and Moab was subdued. Israel had rest for 80 years thereafter. God always comes to the rescue of His children in times of distress. Whatever the depth of one’s backsliding or trouble, it is wise to call upon Him. He will surely answer. But know that sin will hinder one’s deliverance (Isaiah 59:2).

The solution to the sin problem is salvation in Christ Jesus (1 Peter 3:18). Christ is the only atonement, the divine appeasement that heaven acknowledges. He is the key to God’s forgiveness. In Christ alone lies the hope of freedom from the bondage of sin, sickness, affliction and oppressions. Sin is slavery; but God’s forgiveness through Christ’s atonement is true freedom from sin and its consequences.

Thought for the day: Salvation is free, but stewardship is costly.

Topic: The Untouchable [Sunday July 16, 2017]

Scripture: He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. Psalm 105:14-15

Thought For The Day: An anointed bicycle can overtake an aircraft; an anointed tadpole can sink a whale.

It has been confirmed that the Anointing of the Holy Spirit is a preserver of life and destiny. There are examples from scripture that corroborate this. David was anointed in 1 Samuel 16:13, and in chapter 17, he confronted Goliath and by reason of the Anointing on his head, he conquered Goliath and brought victory to Israel. Thus David was preserved by virtue of the Anointing.

If God anoints a tadpole, it would kill and bury a shark. An anointed tadpole can even sink a whale. An anointed bicycle would overtake an aircraft; it is a matter of who anointed it. That is the mystery of the Anointing.

Beloved, one of the most dangerous persons anyone can confront on earth is an anointed person. You may look small or gentle but if the Anointing is on your head, the devil and his agents would tremble whenever they see you.

Every anointed personality is an untouchable entity; it is only those who are on a suicide mission that would dare someone who carries the Anointing on his head.

I prophesy to you today; the Anointing of the Holy Ghost is coming on You and it will take the devil by surprise. They may despise you but they cannot destroy you because you are untouchable!

Remember this: An anointed bicycle can overtake an aircraft; an anointed tadpole can sink a whale.

Assignment(s):

1. Make demands on the Anointing of the Holy Ghost on your life.

2. Abide in God’s Presence; spend quality time with God in order to have a direct contact with the Anointing.

3. Live a sin-free life.

Topic: Tap In to the Truth [Sunday July 16, 2017]

When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. – John 16:13

Jesus said the Holy Spirit would guide us into all truth. Not just enough truth to get by on. Not just an occasional truth to help us teach our Sunday school classes. All truth!

If you’re a businessman, that means the Holy Spirit will show you how to increase your profits and reduce your expenses. If you’re a mother, it means the Holy Spirit will show you how to settle arguments between your children. If you’re a student, it means the Holy Spirit will show you how to excel in your classes.

In fact, if you know Jesus Christ and are baptized in the Holy Ghost, somehow inside you is the answer to every financial problem, every spiritual problem and every physical problem that exists. You have answers for problems you don’t even know about yet!
Back during World War II, for example, the United States ran into some serious trouble. Their ships were being sunk by the enemy faster than they could build new ones, a process which at that time took a year.

In an effort to solve their dilemma, a method was devised by which a ship could be built in a single day. The problem was, the process involved building the ship upside down and, when the ships were turned upright, the welds would pop and the ship would come apart.

The problem was presented to a deeply spiritual man who was a famous industrialist at the time. “I’ll find out how to do it,” he said. And, sure enough, after days of prayer and fasting, God showed him the welding formula that would hold the ship together.

If you’re facing a problem today, don’t drag around trying to handle it on your own. Take Jesus at His Word and start asking the Holy Spirit to give you the knowledge you need to solve it. Put the wisdom of the ages to work on your job, in your family and in your world. Tap in to the truths He’s placed in you.

Topic: Deep Roots [Sunday July 16, 2017]

Read: Luke 24:44–49, Bible in a Year: Psalms 16–17; Acts 20:1–16

Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. Luke 24:45

The sequoia tree, one of three species of redwoods, is among the world’s largest and most enduring organisms. It can grow to 300 feet in height, weigh over 2.5 million pounds (1.1 million kg), and live for 3,000 years. But the majestic sequoia owes much of its size and longevity to what lies below the surface. A twelve- to fourteen-foot-deep matting of roots, spreading over as much as an acre of earth, firmly grounds its towering height and astonishing weight.

A redwood’s expansive root system, however, is small compared to the national history, religion, and anticipation that undergird the life of Jesus. On one occasion He told a group of religious leaders that the Scriptures they loved and trusted told His story (John 5:39). In the synagogue of Nazareth He opened the scroll of Isaiah, read a description of Israel’s Messiah, and said, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:21).

Our lives are rooted in our need of Him.

Later, after His resurrection, Jesus helped His disciples understand how the words of Moses, the prophets, and even the songs of Israel showed why it was necessary for Him to suffer, die, and rise from the dead (24:46).

What grace and grandeur—to see Jesus rooted in the history and Scriptures of a nation, and to see how extensively our own lives are rooted in our need of Him.

Prayer: Father in heaven, please help us never forget that the history of Israel and the inspired words of Scripture ground us in seeing our need of Your Son.

All Scripture helps us see our need of Jesus.

Insight:

This remarkable passage records Jesus Christ’s explanation of the scriptural foundation to His redemptive ministry on earth. He tells the disciples—and us—that Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms bear witness to who He is. The expectations of the Jewish nation had been that Messiah would be a conquering hero who would liberate them from tyranny. In the time of Christ, the obvious oppressor was the Roman Empire. Yet God’s eternal plan from before the creation of the world was that forgiveness of sins would be secured through the substitute blood offering of Messiah—Jesus of Nazareth. He would provide redemption for every member of the human race who would hear and believe the gospel of grace. Jesus told His followers that opposition and persecution would accompany this proclamation of the gospel, but an eternal reward and joyous fellowship with the Creator-Redeemer God would be given to those who persevered.

Memorise: And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. – Acts 3:8

Read: Acts 3:1-9 (KJV)

1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
