{Open Heavens} ACTIVATING THE GLORY OF GOD – Sunday November 13th 2016
Memorise;
Jesus said unto her, said I not unto thee, that if thou wouldest
believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God. John 11:40.
Read: John 11:39-44 (KJV)
39 Jesus
said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead,
saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead
four days.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41 Then
they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And
Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast
heard me.
42 And
I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which
stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And
he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes:
and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose
him, and let him go.
Bible in one year: Genesis 21:23, Psalms 103:1- 10
MESSAGE
God
is the only one who has the final say over your life; He will never
permit any unpleasant situation to have a final say in your life nor
allow your life to be at the mercy of people. He decides what happens to
you at every given point in time because He is the Alpha and the Omega.
If anybody ever tells you it is over, I congratulate you, because God
is about to open a new chapter in your life that will amaze the world.
Does your case seem hopeless like that of Lazarus? I prophecy into your
life; you are the next in line for a miracle. Have you been married for
all these years and you have no child? Welcome to your morning of
fruitfulness. Simon Peter was a professional fisherman, he knew when the
fishes would be in the river and he went with the right equipment, yet
he struggled all night without a breakthrough. Open Heavens Sunday 13
November 2016:- Activating the glory of God. You
have satisfied all requirements for that position, yet there is no
positive response, I decree a supernatural lifting of every embargo
placed upon your breakthrough in Jesus’ name.
Believing
what God says about the condition we are going through is very vital to
our walk as Christians. When we believe the Word of God, we are
expressing our confidence and trust in His divine attribute. There is
nothing beyond Him. Martha had already given up on Lazarus. According to
her, Jesus’ coming was unnecessary because the situation had gone past
what He could do anything about. She consoled herself with the fact that
on the day of resurrection, she would see her brother again, but she
did not recognise that the resurrection is not a period but a person.
Jesus is the resurrection and the life. This is why you cannot afford to
continue in sin. If you want to activate the glory of God in your life,
you have to know Him.
To
activate the glory of God, you must have faith in His Word. Faith is an
act that produces an evidence of His glory. Faith is what gives meaning
to your calling as a child of God. You need faith to do exploit in
life. You need faith to win all the battles of life. In the atmosphere
of faith, nothing is impossible for you. God dwells in the realm of the
supernatural and anyone who will be able to access His glory must
operate beyond the normal realm. If we take the Word of Jesus Christ and
rely absolutely on His power and faithfulness, we shall see a daily
occurrence of the glory of God in all our ways.
You
must learn to always look beyond the grave and lift your eyes to God
Almighty. Overlook all the reports, conditions, difficulties and
obstacles. Lift up your eyes to the Lord in prayer, in praise, in
worship and in fasting, and you will be surprised at what the Lord will
do. There is no solution elsewhere; the real glory is in Christ Jesus.
