HE’S ALIVE – 1

Special Easter Friday Prayer & Fasting Service – HE’S ALIVE!

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

It was a very impactful & refreshing moment in God’s Presence yesterday, at KDCG, as the saints took time to wait on the Lord in fasting, prayers & Word exhortation to maximise His Resurrection Power.

Here is an excerpt of the Word – HE’S ALIVE – 1

Isaiah 25.6(Good News Bible):

6 “Here on Mount Zion the LORD Almighty will prepare a banquet for all the nations of the world—a banquet of the richest food and the finest wine”.

Isaiah 25.7(KJV):

7 “And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations”.

Isaiah 25.8(Good News Bible):

The Sovereign LORD will destroy death forever! He will wipe away the tears from everyone’s eyes and take away the disgrace his people have suffered throughout the world. The LORD himself has spoken”.

Isaiah 25.8(Message Bible):

“Yes, he’ll banish death forever.

And God will wipe the tears from every face.

He’ll remove every sign of disgrace

From his people, wherever they are.

Yes! God says so”!

Isaiah 25.8(NLT):

“He will swallow up death forever!

    The Sovereign lord will wipe away all tears.

He will remove forever all insults and mockery

    against his land and people.

    The lord has spoken”!

Isaiah 25.9-10(Amplified version):

[9]”It shall be said in that day, Behold our God upon Whom we have waited and hoped, that He might save us! This is the Lord, we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation”.

[10]For the hand of the Lord shall rest on this Mount [Zion], and Moab shall be threshed and trodden down in his place as straw is trodden down in the [filthy] water of a [primitive] cesspit”.

The above is a vivid description of what our Lord Jesus did for man in His Church, Mount Zion, by feeding His people with the best of meals, His Word, knowledge, thereby, destroying the power of spiritual & premature deaths, taking away all disgrace, reproach, mockeries, insults & sufferings that Satan & his powers of darkness have been unleashing on man through ignorance & the deceptions of sin.

The Yoruba translation of the phrase, “this mountain” in verses 6,7,10 is quite revealing, as it is rendered as “great, high mountain”!

By reason of the power of God’s Word, the Church of Jesus, the Body of Christ is destined to be great & high!

That’s referring to you & I!

The veils of ignorance & deception against God’s Word, spiritual truth & reality, has been & is still the enemy’s tool of inflicting suffering on man but glory to God, our Lord Jesus destroyed all that & empowered man for a life of vibrant ecstasy, impacts & fulfilment!

The Paslmist in the 23rd Psalm, verses 5-6 brought this prophetic mystery into light, (KJV):

[5]”Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over”.

[6]”Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

For everyone who is ready to accept our Father’s deliverance & blessings in Jesus, such should be ready to accept His Knowledge, Understanding & Wisdom!

By Apostle Paul, the Holy Spirit opens up His helps to us, as recorded in 2 Corinthians 3.16-18(KJV):

[16]”Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away”.

[17]”Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty”.

[18]”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 3.16-18(Amplified version):

[16]”But whenever a person turns [in repentance] to the Lord, the veil is stripped off and taken away”.

[17]”Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom)”. [Isa. 61:1, 2.]

[18]”And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit”.

2 Corinthians 3.16-18(NLT):

[16]”But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away”.

[17]”For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom”.

[18]”So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image”.

A vibrant, robust, glorious Christian is therefore, from the Scriptures quoted above, one who depends by the helps of the Holy Spirit, totally on the Word of God!

The fullness of the reality of our heavenly Father, in His benevolence, Whom our Lord Jesus came to show us & represent will always reflect on such a Christian – Psalm 84.11-12(KJV):

[11]”For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly”.

[12]”O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee”.

Beloved, because He’s Alive, you also will be alive & well in His entire Will, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Blessings!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

THE PURPOSES OF THE SUPERNATURAL – 3

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

The blessings of this resurrection season will manifest continually in your entire life, in the most colourful name of Jesus!

By virtue of His resurrection, you’re now jointly seated with Him in the heavenly realms, far above all the powers of darkness , therefore, from now, I decree total rest over your life, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

On Thursday, at KDCG, in our Glory To Glory Word Hour, we continued in our teaching series, The Purposes Of The Supernatural, & two more purposes were examined.

1. The miraculous makes us to live heaven on earth Matthew 6.10(KJV):

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

A major cardinal focus of the believer’s prayer life, which is the Father’s desire is the manifestation of heaven on the earth!

The believer is a carrier of the Father’s Kingdom, as Jesus tells us in Luke 17.21(KJV):

“Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the Kingdom of God is in you.

What is our Father’s Kingdom, what does the Kingdom of God represent?

1 Corinthians 4.20(KJV) is quite specific about it:

“For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

God’s Kingdom is in POWER!

It is true that power is the ability to change things &(as I add,)to make things happen according to one’s desires.

So, in the context of Luke 17.21, what does powermean?

Romans 14.17(KJV) helps our understanding:

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost“.

The Power of God’s Kingdom is righteousness, peace & joy in the Holy Ghost!

That’s the underlying principle of change that the believer must enforce in life & perpetuate as a legacy for his generation, as our Lord Jesus gave us example.

This is what the Holy Spirit helps the believer to accomplish – John 3.8(KJV):

“The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

God testifies of Abraham in exemplifying this – Genesis 18.17-19(KJV):

“And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do”;

“Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him”?

For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice andjudgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him”.

When the world starts seeing you not borrowing as you used to, not drinking & smoking as you used to, not involved in immorality & idolatory as you used to, you don’t beat your wife again, you don’t steal again, no more vile & vulgar talks but you’re now after God’s heart, telling people about Jesus, leading souls to Christ, & things are happening well by your hands, they see heaven in your life, they’ll learn the ways of our Father!

2. The miraculous is to subdue the powers of darkness – Ephesians 3.10(Amplified version):

“[The purpose is] that through the church the complicated, many-sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made known to the angelic rulers and authorities (principalities and powers) in the heavenly sphere.

Miracles are God’s wisdom to silence the oppositon!

The magicians in Egypt became rodless when Moses’ rod swallowed up theirs & eventually, they became not only silent but also urged Pharaoh to release the Israelites.

From now, as you operate in the supernatural, all your oppositions will be silenced!

Whatever has kept you bound will lose its grip over your life, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

God’s Kingdom will show in your life without any sufferings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Have a most colourful resurrection power season, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

COMMANDING THE SUPERNATURAL – 2

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I know it was a great time with God’s saints today in His Presence.

The joy of His Presence will always put you on top, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

At KDCG, today, we explored two more keys as we continued in the teaching, Commanding The Supernatural – 2.

1. By Faith – Mark 9.23(NIV):

“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for him who believes”.

Mark 9.23(Living Bible):

“If I can?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if you have faith”.

Faith is believing in God, His ability & His Word.

Faith is acting on the Word of God, the Word of God is the horse that faith rides.

Faith puts the believer on the same performance platform with God – Mark 10.27 (NLT): “Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God”.

Mark 9.23 states that everything is possible if you have faith!

Faith is indispensable in the school of the SUPERNATURAL – Hebrews 11.6(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

“But where there is no faith it is impossible truly to please Him; for the man who draws near to God must believe that there is a God and that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who earnestly try to find Him”.

Faith makes God to prove His Almighty power in & through your life with the miraculous – Hebrews 2.4(Good News Bible):

“At the same time God added His witness to theirs by performing all kinds of miracles and wonders and by distributing the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His will”.

By faith, Jesus fed thousands of people with what seemingly wasn’t enough – John 6.5-6(Amplified version):

5 “Jesus looked up then, and seeing that a vast multitude was coming toward Him, He said to Philip, Where are we to buy bread, so that all these people may eat”?

6 “But He said this to prove (test) him, for He well knew what He was about to do”.

In 2 Kings 4.42-44(KJV), Faith was at work in the ministry of Elisha, as one hundred men were fed with twenty loaves of barley, & there was still left over:

[42]”And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat”.

[43]”And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof”.

[44]So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.

2. By walking in Love – 1 Corinthians 12.31(NLT):

“So you should earnestly desire the most helpful gifts”…

1 Corinthians 12.31(NIV):

“…And now I will show you the most excellent way”.

1 Corinthians 13.8,13(Amplified version):

8 “Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]”…

1Cor.13.13 – And so faith, hope, love abide [faith – conviction and belief respecting man ‘s relation to God and divine things; hope – joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love – true affection for God and man, growing out of God ‘s love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love”.

As powerful as faith is in the school of the SUPERNATURAL, it completely depends on love to deliver!

Faith is barren without love – Galatians 5.6(Wycliffe New Testament):

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision is any thing worth, neither prepuce, but the belief that worketh by charity [but faith that worketh by charity]”.

The believer is grounded outside of love – Revelation 2.4-5(Amplified version):

4 “But I have this [one charge to make] against you: that you have left (abandoned) the love that you had at first [you have deserted Me, your first love]”.

5 “Remember then from what heights you have fallen. Repent (change the inner man to meet God ‘s will) and do the works you did previously [when first you knew the Lord], or else I will visit you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you change your mind and repent”.

Love is the hanger on which the believer stands, unruffled – Matthew 22.37-40(KJV):

[37]”Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind”.

[38]”This is the first and great commandment”.

[39]”And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself”.

[40]”On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Love is the horse on which faith rides – John 14.21,23(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

21 “He who has my commandments and obeys them–he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly reveal myself to him.”

14:23 “If any one loves me,” replied Jesus, “he will obey my teaching; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

Can Jesus reveal Himself to you & He & the Father make their home with you, & you won’t be commanding the Supernatural?

From this moment, you won’t be miracles dry again, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Whatever has been impossible to you before now, you’ll begin to have them very cheaply, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

This is your week of possibilities!

Be better than good!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

WHO COMMANDS THE SUPERNATURAL? 2

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

This is the concluding part of the Flourish To Flourish Encounter Hour that started yesterday.

2. Who Commands The Supernatural?

As we saw in the first teaching, children of God are to be unstoppable high flyers in the journey of life – Isaiah 60.8(NIV):

Who are these that fly along like clouds, like doves to their nests”?

Isaiah 11.14(KJV):

But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them”.

Isaiah 40.31(Living Bible):

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint”.

Revelation 12.14(Amplified version):

“But the woman was supplied with the two wings of a giant eagle, so that she might fly from the presence of the serpent into the desert (wilderness), to the retreat where she is to be kept safe and fed for a time, and times, and half a time (three and one-half years, or 1,260 days)”.

[a]. Children of God, sons & daughters of God, are to command the SupernaturalIsaiah 8.18(Amplified version):

Behold, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are signs and wonders [that are to take place] in Israel from the Lord of hosts, Who dwells on Mount Zion”.

Our world is suffering & they know that deliverance will only come from the Church of Jesus – Romans 8.19(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

“For all creation, gazing eagerly as if with outstretched neck, is waiting and longing to see the manifestation of the sons of God”.

Not too long ago, during an all night session, a brother who had keyed into my miraculous employment at the end of the ’80s, was expecting his miracle employment after the interview, & that night, he received an alert of the favourable employment, to which he promptly shared the testimony to the glory of God.

Another brother was in the all night, who heard the first brother’s testimony & believed God for his own miracle, & guess what, just towards the end of the first service(the next day, on Sunday morning), he, too, received an alert of his favourable employment!

Glory to Jesus!

[b]. Servants of God are to command the miraculous – Hebrews 2.4(Amplified version):

“[Besides this evidence] it was also established and plainly endorsed by God, Who showed His approval of it by signs and wonders and various miraculous manifestations of [His] power and by imparting the gifts of the Holy Spirit [to the believers] according to His own will”.

Mark 16.20(Amplified version):

And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the attesting signs and miracles that closely accompanied [it]. Amen (so be it)”.

Servants of God here, simply means those who are called to the five fold ministries; & also, children of God who are serving in one capacity or another – spiritually(fastings, prayers, soul winning, evangelism, Bible/Fellowship studies, music ministry), physically(instrumentalists, sanctuary keepers, decorators, follow up, security etc), financially/materially(tithes & offerings – this service involves everybody), helps & administration, etc.

[c]. God lovers command the Supernatural – Acts 13.22(Message Bible):

“God removed him from office and put King David in his place, with this commendation: ‘I’ve searched the land and found this David, son of Jesse. He’s a man whose heart beats to my heart, a man who will do what I tell him'”.

Still speaking about David, read his testimony in Acts 13.36(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

For David, after having been useful to his own generation in accordance with God’s purpose,…”.

Beloved, our heavenly Father is still searching among mankind from place to place, looking for His children whose hearts are beating to His heart, they’re after God’s heart, for increased empowerment, to be useful to their world, in line with God’s Will, after Jesus’ order!

[d]. God worshippers in Spirit & Truth will command the supernatural – John 4.23-24(Wycliffe New Testament):

“But the time is come [But the hour cometh], and now it is, when true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeketh such, that worship him”.

24 “God is a Spirit, and it behooveth them that worship him, to worship in spirit and truth.

Worshipping the Father in Spirit & Truth is mainly talking about joyful & prompt obedience to His Word! John 6.63; 17.17(Wycliffe New Testament): John 6.63:

“It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I have spoken to you, be spirit and life”.

John 17.17:

“Hallow thou them in truth; thy word is truth”.

[e]. The selfless, sacrificial, not the selfish will command the Supernatural – John 21.17-19(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

15 “When they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?” “Yes, Master,” was his answer; “you know that you are dear to me.” “Then feed my lambs,” replied Jesus”.

16 “Again a second time He asked him, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Master,” he said, “you know that you are dear to me.” “Then be a shepherd to my sheep,” He said”.

17 “A third time Jesus put the question: “Simon, son of John, am I dear to you?” It grieved Peter that Jesus asked him the third time, “Am I dear to you?” “Master,” he replied, “you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me.” “Then feed my much-loved sheep,” said Jesus”.

Those who are people minded for the sake of our Lord Jesus will be increased in power for the miraculous.

Acts 20.28(Message Bible):

“And now beware! Be sure that you feed and shepherd God’s flock–his church, purchased with his blood–for the Holy Spirit is holding you responsible as overseers”.

1 Peter 5.2-3(NIV):

2 “Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers–not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve”;

3not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.

[f]. The pure in heart, living in true holiness will be empowered to command the Supernatural – Romans 1.4(Good News Bible):


as to his divine holiness, he was shown with great power to be the Son of God by being raised from death.

[g]. Those who live by faith will command the Supernatural – 2 Corinthians 4.18(Amplified version):

2Cor.4.18 – Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.

Faith is seeing in the Word of God as He sees & conduct ourselves according to His Word by grace, after the order of our Lord Jesus –  2 Corinthians 1.24(KJV):

“Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

As children of God, believers in our Lord Jesus, we are to,

2 Corinthians 5:7

“(…walk by faith, not by sight:”)

Faith pleases God & when He’s pleased with you, He’ll encourage you to be more empowered in life – Hebrews 11.6(Amplified version):

the supernatural is your heritage in Christ, therefore, take advantage of it to maximise your glorious, golden & royal destiny & purpose, on time, with ease & peace, in a very grand style & colour!

Take grace to be in fellowship with the saints tomorrow in church.

Stay blessed with better than good testimonies, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

WHO COMMANDS THE SUPERNATURAL? 1

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I know for certain that you’re experiencing the SUPERNATURAL as you desire, according to God’s Word, & may that remain your testimony, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

It was a wonderful encounter for us at KDCG today in the April edition of our once in two months Flourish To Flourish Encounter Hour, where God’s servant, the Senior Pastor, under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, helped our understanding of Who Commands The Supernatural!

The first teaching highlighted four major blessings of the miraculous, while the second teaching enlightened us as to Who Commands The Supernatural.

Be blessed as you read, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

1. THE BLESSINGS OF THE

SUPERNATURAL/MIRACULOUS:

[a]. The miraculous is the natural environment of the believer – Isaiah 33.16(New Living Translation):

these are the ones who will dwell on high.

    The rocks of the mountains will be their fortress.

Food will be supplied to them,

    and they will have water in abundance.

We know that when a person is born again in our Lord Jesus, such a one is where Jesus is – Ephesians 2.6(Amplified version):

“And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One)”.

This joint seating position with our Lord Jesus affords us to be far above every power of darkness with their works of deception & hindrances – Ephesians 1.21(Living Bible):

far, far above any other king or ruler or dictator or leader. Yes, his honor is far more glorious than that of anyone else either in this world or in the world to come.

[b]. The miraculous is the believer’s place of security & provisions – Isaiah 33.16b(KJV):

“…: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks:.

Isaiah 33.16c(NLT):

“…Food will be supplied to them,

    and they will have water in abundance.

When you’re in your right location, your security & provisions are peacefully & timely guaranteed.

After a Sunday morning service sometime ago, one of our part time Pastors serving with me, gave me a huge cash gift of three hundred & thirty five thousand (Nigerian)naira.

There are gospel accounts of our Lord Jesus feeding thousands of people with seemingly what wasn’t enough & there was yet more than enough!

The gospel accounts also talk of His disciples not lacking anything when they were sent by Him on missionary journeys.

Your allocation is in the location He has determined for you.

[c]. The miraculous makes the believer to be unstoppable in advancement – John 3.8(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So is it with every one who has been born of the Spirit”.

Jesus walked on water as He needed to be with His disciples in the deep of the night, & He stopped the storm that wanted to stop their travelling on their assignment!

[d]. The supernatural is a major platform for promotions in life – we have in Scriptures the testimonies of supernatural liftings & promotions of people like Joseph, Daniel, Meshach, Shadrach & Abednego.

A dear Sister who had SUFFERED setbacks in her marital destiny received precise & accurate prophecy, & not long after, she got married in her mid forties to a Professor in a foreign country, (meanwhile she was running her PhD programme).

Another dear Sister whose marital destiny was being tampered with & delayed by the powers of darkness, enjoyed divine interventions, as an old time university friend, working in a federal government parastatal, located & hooked her up in marriage(she also has her PhD).

The child of God has been ordained to be the light bearer & pace setter in life but the miraculous will always be necessary – Matthew 5.13-15(Message Translation):

13 “Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth…“.

14 “Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world…, as public as a city on a hill“.

15 If I make you light-bearers,…, I’m putting you on a light stand.

The second teaching will be in our next post, tomorrow.

I hereby decree that every force from the pits of hell set to molest, harrass, frustrate, embarrass, hinder, set you back & make you suffer, dry off immediately, now, & I pronounce that the colours of your glorious, royal, & golden destiny & purpose begin to show without delay, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Take grace to be in fellowship with the saints on Sunday in church!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!
