JUNE 2018 HGS – STRONGER THAN YOUR ENEMIES – PART 6 (VICTORY THROUGH PRAISE)

MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

DATE: 1ST JUNE, 2018

One of the young Pastors that preached earlier tonight made mention of one thing that is certain about dead people – they cannot speak as only the living and the living alone can Praise God.

So if you are here tonight and still alive; lift up your hands to Praise the Lord. Let Him know that you are still alive. Praise the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Praise the Ancient of Days. Give Him all the Glory and Adoration. Thank you for January, February, March and April. Bless Him for what He did in May. Worship and Adore Him for what He will do in your life even in the Month of June.

OPENING PRAYERS:

King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the Ancient of Days, Rock of Ages, the Unchangeable Changer, the One that reigns Supreme; Glory be to your Holy Name. Please accept our worship in Jesus Name. Thank you for January, February, March, April, May and thank you for June. Glory be to your Holy Name. Please accept our thanks in Jesus Name.

My Father and my God, as we want to thank you tonight, we want to lift up all our men to you tonight, let them be men of Values in Jesus Name. Let them be Victorious Men. Let them be Successful Men. Let them be Prosperous Men. Let them be Anointed Men. In every area of their life, show them to be Mighty Men. Let them lead their families aright. If there is any battle they are facing now, give them Victory.

I am also praying for all the women. These men cannot succeed without these helpmates. So everything they need to be good helpmates give it to them too in Jesus Name. Bless the women, bless the children and bless all of us together.

Lord as we Praise you tonight, arise and scatter all our enemies. In Jesus Name we pray … Amen!

Let somebody shout Halleluyah … Halleluyah!

ANNOUNCEMENT:

1. In the Month of July 2018; it will be time for the “Disciples Convention” and their theme will be: STRONGER THAN YOUR ENEMIES – PART 7 (PERMANENT ALL-ROUND VICTORY)

2. The Month of July as we stated at the beginning of this year is another “Month of Fasting”.

The Fast will last for only 21 days. This means that you will be free for 10 days in the Month. So you are free to choose which of the 21 days that you want to fast out of the 31 days in the Month of July. You can either fast for 21 days or do 10 days dry fasting continually.

Daddy is assuring us that he is not the one that choose 21 days for us to fast but the Lord says 21 days will be ok for us. Those 21 days will be 21 days of Power. So get ready to fast.

… The 2nd half of this year will be far far better than the 1st half of the year for you in Jesus Name.

For those 21 days, we will basically call on God for VICTORY:

1. Victory over Nigeria (for those in other countries, put the name of your country here). Victory for Nigeria over all blood sucking demons who are hell bent to destroy our dear Nation.

2. Victory for the Church of God. Let the Owner of the Church arise and defend His Church.

3. Victory for our Individual Families. The Almighty God will fight every family battles for us all such that before the end of July, we will says: Victory At Last!

4. Victory for you as an Individual. You know the area(s) that you needed Victory as an Individual.

BIBLE TEXT: PSALM 18: 1-3

1. I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

2. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

3. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

PART A

God loves Praises. The bible in Psalms 22:3 says that God inhabits in Praise.

Praise to God is what water is to fish. He dwells in Praise. You could almost say that if you take Praises away from God, then there is a problem. So He surrounds Himself with Praise.

Please go and study Revelations 19: 1-6 very well. The Bible says that Heaven is constantly full of Praises to God. You kept on hearing great voices – all shouting Halleluyah almost nonstop.

The Seraphims – these are special angels created to sing Praises to God; are always saying: Holy, Lord God Almighty as recorded in Isaiah 6: 1-3. There was never a time God asked them to keep quiet for a while.

In Revelations 5: 11-14; the angels that are Praising God are in thousand of thousands (millions) and in ten thousand of ten thousands (billions). The angels are just so numerous that not any figure can be used to ascertain them. They even combined with all the other creatures just to Praise God.

The Lord God Almighty loves Praises so much that in Jeremiah 33:11, the bible says that: The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth forever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first saith the LORD.

It is amazing that despite all the Angels praising God, Heaven still needs more Praises.

Even when you want to Praise Him, He demands sacrificial Praises from you.

But as much as God wants Praise; He hates any sacrifice coming from sinners.

Proverbs 15:8 says: The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is His delight.

When He says abomination, it means that when He hears the Praises of a sinner, it is something very repulsive to Him. The Lord does not want to hear the Praises of sinners. How can you be praising God when you actually belongs to the enemies – that is hypocrisy. When you belong to the enemies and you are praising God, that is mockery to God.

In the book of Acts 16: 16-22; there was this girl with a spirit of Divination following Paul and Silas about. She was saying: see the men of God showing us the way to salvation. This was mockery and the men of God silenced her.

When you shout Halleluyah and you are not born again, it irritates God. So if you are not a child of God, please don’t praise God.

But we want to Praise God tonight in fact spend quality time doing this because things will surely happens – When Prayers fails, turn to Praises.

So if you are here tonight and you are not sure of your salvation; then you need to come and give your life to God tonight if you still desire to Praise Him. You need to let His blood washes away your sin and you will be a child of God before your Praises are acceptable to Him. So before daddy will count from 1 to 10; find your way to the front of the altar.

For those of us in front of the altar now and others still coming; talk to God to have mercy on you. Ask Him to save your soul, washes you clean with His blood and write your name in the Book of life. Tell Him that you will serve Him even to the very end.

Let the others stretch out our hands to our brothers and sisters and asked the One that save our soul to have mercy on them. Ask the Lord to wash them with His blood, save their souls and accept them into the family of God.

GO Prays: Saviour, I want to say thank you for your Words. Thank you for all these your children who has come to surrender to you. Please everyone that has come to surrender to you, please receive into your family. Wash them with your blood, save their souls and write their names in the Book of Life. Anytime they called on you, answer them by fire. In Jesus Name we pray.

… Those of you infront let me hear you shout Halleluyah .. Halleluyah!

PART B

Let us all be seated and watch this video clips:

The following are the lessons that we can learn from the video:

1. If you have nothing at all to Praise God for; then Praise God for these Children.

2. Praise God for the Children’s Teachers.

3. Praise God for Good Parents.

4. Praise God for The Redeemed Christian Church of God.

Then, let us take a closer look at that child when she was asked what was written I’m Philippians 4:4 – Rejoice in the Lord, again I say rejoice.

She recited this full of action and rejoicing.

This is exactly how you should praise God – demonstrate it. Do it with everything in you.

So Stand up on your feet now and rejoice in the Lord like a child. Show Him that He is your daddy.

Praise draws God like a magnet draws iron.

In John 4: 23-24; the Almighty God through Jesus Christ said: He is a spirit and those that will worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth because God seeks such to worship Him.

God is seeking for such Worshippers.

When you Praise God the Father, He draws near to you. When He draws near to you; the first thing He does is to leave His throne in Heaven to move near to you.

When He stands up according to Psalms 68: 1-3; let God arise and all His enemies be scattered. Those who hates Him will flee or melts.

Psalms 97:3 says: As fire goeth before Him, and burneth up His enemies round about.

If only you can Praise God to the level that He can stand up for you; your problems will be over.

Isaiah 41: 10-13 says:

10. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thea; yea I will help thee; yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

11. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing and they that strive with thee shall perish.

12. Thou shalt seek them and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing and as a thing of nought.

13. For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Daddy Prophesized that as incredible as it may sound; before the end of this Month, no enemy will be left in your life.

Proverbs 16:7 says: When a man’s ways please the LORD, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

There are various ways God can cause your enemies to be scattered:

1. He can cause the enemies to destroy themselves – read 2 Chronicles 20: 20-25. If your enemies are busy fighting themselves, you will be at Peace.

2. He can paralysed them physically – Psalm 23:5 says: Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

3. He can paralyzed them mentally. In Exodus 14: 13-38; Moses simply tell the Israelites to just look at the enemies: The enemies you see today, you won’t see them again. He went ahead to explain to them that this is so because God will fight for you. Then when suddenly the Red Sea opened and the children of Israel goes on dry land; if God has not paralysed the thinking of the Egyptians, they won’t have followed them.

Whoever God wants to destroy, He paralyses their thoughts

4. He could arrest them so that they won’t trouble you again.

In 2 Kings 6: 8-23; the enemies came to arrest Elisha but Elisha arrested them, got them fed and send them back to their masters. Afterwards, they never came back to him.

Daddy doesn’t know which method God will use; whatever method(s) He chooses, in the Name that is above all Names; very soon you will shout Victory at Last!

So how do I get God the Father to draw near to me?

This is very simple; just follow the example of the Juju Musicians: They will collect names of people before they begin to play; call you one by one using even names that you are not. As he begins to call you all those big names, something within you will tell you to go and spray him with money. Another thing within you will try to stop you reminding you that you borrowed that money. Then you will tell the second thought to shut up that you will sort out that one later.

So now begin to call God His Names:

1. He is Jehovah El-Shaddai – Genesis 17:1

2. He is I am that I am – Exodus 3:14.

3. He is the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – Exodus 3:15.

4. He is the Most High, the Almighty – Psalms 91:1.

5. He is the One that is Higher than the Highest – Ecclesiastes 5:8.

6. He is the One whose seat enthroned on High – Isaiah 66:1.

7. He is the Holy One of Israel – Psalms 71:22.

Then where we read in Psalms 18: 1-2; David simply said – He is my Rock, Fortress, Deliverer, my God, my Strength, my Trust, my Buckler, the Horn of my Salvation and my High Tower.

Daddy will ask us to do something for some few moments: I want you to eulogised God for some few minutes.

… May the Almighty God arise for you today in Jesus Name.

What happens when God the Son draws near to you?

When Jesus Christ draws near to you, He is greatly attracted to Praises.

In Mark 10: 46-52; it may be amazing to you that in a multitude, He heard even the cry of a beggar. But what He heard was a statement: Jesus, thou Son of David. Oh, that was the Game Changer. Jesus Christ simply said someone knows me to my root – go and bring him.

And when God the Son draws near to you; darkness will have to go. Jesus Christ said in John 9:5: As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

When He draws near, darkness left Bartimaeus.

In John 1: 4-5; the bible says that light shines in darkness and the darkness could not comprehend it.

The day He drew near to Bartimaeus was the last day that he begged.

No matter what you are going through now, in Jesus Name you won’t beg again.

When God the Son draws near, He turns your enemies to your servants. The very people trying to silence Bartimaeus were the very ones Jesus Christ sent to bring him to Him.

Very soon in the Name that is above all Names; you will stand on this same altar and say that this person that wants to destroy me is now my servant … Amen!

PROPHESY:

1. The Lord says to someone here: Storm comes and storm goes. And your present storm(s) will soon pass away.

2. The Lord says to someone here tonight that very soon your singing will be louder than others.

Jesus Christ loves children. Why you may want to say?

Matthew 21:16 says – And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babe and sucklings thou has perfected praise?

Children knows how to Praise God. If we have any problem praising God; it is simply because we feel that we are too old to Praise God as a child. How long before we adults knows that before the One called Ancient of Days we are children. None of us here is 100 years old and a thousand (1,000) years before God is like a day. If only we can approach Him like little children.

Jesus Christ rebuked those people that stopped the children from coming to Him. If you don’t want to Praise God, then don’t stop those that want to do so because He will rebuked you. David danced before God, his wife despised him and she died barren.

When children were brought to Jesus Christ, He did something with them: He carried them in His Hands.

How many of you wants God to carry them in His Hands?

Daddy prayed that as from today onwards, the Almighty God will carry you … Amen!

But He can only carry children not adults.

If we begin to Praise God as a child, He will carry you because He is the “Burden Bearer”.

Daddy prayed once again that from today, God will begin to carry you … Amen!

Not only carry the children, He blessed them,. If you know the kind of blessings in Divine Blessings, you will know that you don’t need anything else.

God told Abraham in Genesis 12: 1-3 that He will bless him. As at then he has nothing. Few years afterwards, Abraham’s servant said concerning his master that the Lord had blessed him indeed.

When God blesses you, all the Host in Heaven, everything on earth and even beneath the earth – all will work for you.

.. Daddy says in the Name of Jesus Christ: GOD BLESS YOU! … Amen!

In Genesis 27: 38-40; the only blessings Esau got from their father was a leftover blessing. Not long afterwards when Jacob sent his servants to meet with Esau on his way back home; he has 400 men with him as bodyguards.

… So when you Praise God the way you ought to do; He will carry you in His Hands and blesses you.

Daddy prayed today in the Name that is above all Names that: GOD BLESS YOU! .. Amen!

PROPHESY:

1. The Lord asks daddy to remind somebody that between two days there is an evening. You might be passing through an evening now but your morning is near.

2. The Lords says to someone that the day is near when pleasant things will begin to happen to you in two’s.

What happens when the Holy Spirit draws near?

When the Holy Spirit draws near, He shakes all the shakable.

In the book of Acts 4: 23-31; the Apostles gathered together in a room and began to Praise God. Then the spirit of God came in and shook the house.

Daddy prayed that everything the enemies planted in you will be shaken today in Jesus Name .. Amen!

When the Holy Spirit comes in, He comes in as a rushing mighty wind as we have in Acts 2: 1-4.

Or it can come as a Fire and the fire will begin to burn down everything hindering you. In Judges 15: 14-15; they brought Samson bound and rejoicing. The Holy Spirit came and burn down all the ropes that was used to bound him.

Daddy does not know what the enemies has used to limit your Progress. But the Holy Spirit will come down and that Fire of God will destroy everything in your life.

So when the Trinity (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit) becomes attracted to you through Praise according to Psalms 67: 5-7 –

5. Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

6. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God even our own God shall bless us.

7. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

Do you know that there are some blessings that can frightened your enemies.

In Genesis 26: 12-16; when God blessed Isaac; initially the Philistines envied him but later the blessings became so much and they become afraid of him. This will be your Testimonies in Jesus Name … Amen!

PROPHESY: The Lord says to someone here: Relax; I will not abandon you.

But in the Psalm 67: 5-7 that we read earlier, God included a condition that: Let all the people Praise Him.

So even if we have to beg the person next to you; even if it is for just tonight; join us to Praise the Lord.

You probably noticed in the last verse of the hymn we sang, it states that: I will sing Halleluyah. Join me in shouting Halleluyah.

So daddy will ask you to please at least for the sake of the rest of us; even if you have not been praising God before just try to do so tonight because everybody must Praise God.

So for the next 10 to 15 minutes from now, let us Praise God like never before and see what God will do for us in this Month of June.

DADDY PRAYS: My Father and my God because this your children have worshipped you tonight; arise for them. Scatter all their enemies – enemies from the father’s house, mother’s house, places of work, within and without and even within the house of God, scatter them.

Almighty God, in order that these your children may know that it pays to worship you; everyone who has worshipped you tonight give them a New Testimony. The kind of blessings that will frightened their enemies, release this to them in Jesus Name.

Thank you Almighty God. Thank you for the Victory. Glory be to your Mighty Name. In Jesus Name we have prayed … Amen!

Let somebody shout a really big Halleluyah … Halleluyah!

The only thing left for us to do is just to say thank you to God by dancing and celebrating. Give to God voluntarily and cheerfully tonight. And after you have dropped your offerings, feel free to rejoice with your brothers and sisters because our Heavenly Father is attracted to us and the Testimonies will be very massive.

CLOSING PRAYERS

In the Name that is above all Names, by the time the sun rises; you will be singing for Joy. The Almighty God will put a new dance to your feet. Whatever that is causing you sorrow, I decree them gone in Jesus Name. Very very soon, your enemies will come and bow before you.

May the Almighty bless your offerings, sanctify it and use it for His Glory.

And in the Name of Jesus Christ, your Victory over poverty shall be permanent. It shall be well with you and we shall continue to hear Good News from you.

Like never before, win souls for God. So shall it be. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed.

… Who got the biggest Miracle tonight let the person shout the biggest Halleluyah … Halleluyah!!!

Thank you so much for reading!!!
