Our Bible Text is taking from Acts of The Apostles Chapter 3 from Verse 1 to 8 (Acts 3: 1-8).
BIBLE TEXT: ACTS 3: 1-8
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.
This is a continuation of our Series on: FROM LOCKDOWN TO LEAPING UP – Now with PART 3.
In the Particular Section that is of interest to us here is where Peter in Verse 4 fastened his eyes upon this beggar man with John saying: Look at Us!
The following Verse (Verse 5) says he gave heeds unto them.
“Look on Us” means “Look Up Man”!
Apparently, the man was so busy with begging Alms, he is Probably was concentrating more on the Container that they will drop the money that they will give him.
He had settled into that routine but now Peter said it is time to “Lift Up” your eyes.
Because when you “Look Up”; you will “Link Up” with the Almighty God!
Why? – Because in John 12:32; Jesus Christ said: If I be Lifted Up, will draw all men unto Myself.
You “Look Up” to Jesus Christ according to Ephesians 1: 18-23 – Who is Seated far Above all Principalities and Power.
You “Lift Up” your eyes to Him, He will draw you High.
Why? – Because He is the Promoter.
Psalms 75: 6-7 says: Promotion comes not from the East, not from the West, not from the South but God is the Promoter.
… “Lift Up” your eyes to the Promoter?
“Lift Up” your eyes to the One who can Promote you without Limits!
1 Samuel 2:8 tells us that: He can Pick up a beggar from the dunghill and lift him up until he is sitting with Princes.
“Lift Up” your eyes; you don’t have to die where you are – There is someone who can Promote you until you begin to dine with Princes.
And you know what?
When He lifts you up, He can make sure that your Promotions will be Permanent because in Deuteronomy 28:13; it says: You will be Above Only and not beneath.
It is within the Power of the Most High God to Promote you Permanently.
If it is Man that is Promoting you, the Man who Promoted you can bring you down.
If it is God that Promotes you because His Arms are “Everlasting Arms”; it can keep on Promoting you forever.
Why must you “Look Up”?
Because the Bible says clearly: Help comes from Above.
Psalms 121: 1 and 2 says: I will lift up my eyes unto You who dwells in the Heaven until You send Mercy to me.
… “Look Up”; Help is coming from Above – Amen!
“Look Up” Mercy is coming from Above – Amen.
And you know what?
It is the Mercy of God that Preserves you even till now.
Lamentations 3: 22 and 23 tells us clearly that: It is the Mercy of the Lord that we are not consumed.
I don’t know if you have Paid attention to the Mercy of God – The Help of the Helpless; the One who still answers Prayers no matter how likely some People may want to treat Prayers – There is still a God in Heaven who answers Prayers; who because of one (1) or two (2) People somewhere who are crying to Him Day and Night saying: Have Mercy.
… “Look Up” because Mercy comes from Above – Amen.
It is that Mercy that can Help you to reach “Great Heights”.
Marks 9: 17-27 – If you read that Story particularly Verse 23; it says: If you can believe, all things are Possible to him that believes.
Do you know what that means?
- You want to be the Greatest in your Career – If only you can Believe.
- You want to be the Number One (1) Person in the whole wide world – If only can believe.
But the question is: Am I sure that my Faith will be able to cope?
Well, if you read the same Marks 9:24; the very fellow that Jesus said to: If you can believe all things are Possible to him that believes – That one said: Lord says; I believe but help thou my Unbelief.
Out of Mercy, even though the man says my Faith is small; the Lord still granted his request.
You know Ephesians 2: 4-6 tells us that: He is Rich in Mercy.
And because He is “Rich in Mercy”; He raise us Up together with Jesus Christ.
Now, if you get to “Link Up” with Him (The Lord Jesus Christ) by “Looking Up” to Him then you become “Link Up” with the One who is Unlimited
- Unlimited in Power.
Marks 10:27 says: What is impossible with Man is Possible with God.
You look at yourself, you look at your situation, you look at your Track Records and you say: Greatness, that one is not likely.
Ah, with Man that may be Impossible – Not with God.
He is so Unlimited in Power, He can even resurrect your dreams – The dreams that has died!
Because there are some of you listening to me or reading now on the Label of DMC; who once has “Great Dreams” but now you look at yourself: Maybe you look at your age, maybe you look at all the relatives that you thought could help you who have abandoned you or maybe they are dead!
If you read Ezekiel 37: 1-10 – There is still a God who can make “Dead Bones” live again – Amen.
You don’t believed me, ask Moses!
By the time the Almighty God “Link Up” with him again; he had considered himself a failure forever.
At the age of eighty (80) Years; the Almighty God said: I knew your dreams – You once had a dream that you will deliver your Nation. Now “Look Up” and “Link Up” with Me.
… And He said to him: I will be with you!
- When you “Link Up” with Him; you “Link Up” with someone who is Unlimited in Generosity.
The Bible says in Psalms 78:41 – It says: It is a dangerous to limit the Holy One of Israel.
… Don’t Limit Him!
Dream Big my beloveth children!
In 2 Kings 4: 1-7; when that widow came to the Man of God that the creditors has come to take my children into bondage because I couldn’t Pay my debt.
The Man of God said to her: What do you have in the house?
She said: Nothing – Just one (1) little bottle of oil.
Oh, that is enough to start with – Go, borrow empty Vessels, borrow not a few!
You are Probably looking at yourself now – There is No Way that I can ever become Great again!
Who told you? – Don’t limit the Holy One of Israel!
Some of you are Probably heavily in debt and you say only if I can be debt-free? Maybe I can begin to dream again? – My God is able to Pay debts and even give Extras!
… Don’t dream Small, dream Big!
I was invited not too long ago (In September, 2018 to the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) Feast of Tabernacles 2018 Conference in Jerusalem, Israel) to come and speak to some Great Men and Women all over the world on dreaming (The Topic is “Dare To Dream).
DMC NOTE: You can easily access the Full Text and Voice Notes of this Message on our DMC Website (www.discoverymediacrew.com) and all our DMC Social Media Handles.
I don’t know how they picked me out maybe because they know that I am a Dreamer.
And I told them: How do you know that your Dream is from God?
You will know if it is from God when you tell your friends and they begin to laugh at you.
When they think that you are crazy, that something must be wrong with you!
… Then you know that this must be a Dream from God!
I knew how they laughed at me when I told those who are close to me that the Almighty God has told me when I was living in One Room in Mushin (A Low Earning Locality in Lagos State Nigeria) that I am going to build me a City.
… They Laughed!
I want to decree to those of you who are my children and by extension those that are privileged to read this on the Label of DMC: That kind of dream that will make the whole world laugh at you so that when finally the Lord has done it you will be able to say to them that “He who laughs Last, laughs Best” – May God give you that Dream today in Jesus Name – Amen!
… Dream Big!
Consider somebody like David – He was a “Shepherd Boy” that nobody ever thought will be a King not even his father.
Not only did he become King; when you read 1 Chronicles 22:14; he singlehandedly made Provisions for the building of the “Greatest Temple” ever built.
He said: I have Provided my own resources – A Hundred Thousand (100,000) Talents of Gold and a Million (1,000,000) Talents of Silver!
… That is not bad for somebody who used to be a “Shepherd Boy”!
I told you that the Almighty God told me that my children will know that I have arrived when we begin to build an Auditorium the Size of Ibadan.
DMC: The ancient City of Ibadan which is the Capital City of Oyo State in Nigeria – Is the Largest City in Nigeria and West Africa and among the Top 5 Cities in Africa.
What I have not told you is that: One (1) of you listening to me or reading it now on the Label of DMC right now will be the one who will come to me and say: Daddy, Please don’t ask for any Offering – I will build it singlehandedly – Amen.
We claimed this Wonderful Promise for the DMC Family Members – Amen!
If you tell your friends that is what you are going to do; what do you think they will do? – They will laugh at you!
… But that will be the evidence that the Dream is from God!
Ephesians 3:20 says: He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think!
Do you know what that means?
No matter how big what you are thinking of becoming is; it is still too small in the Hands of God!
… Think Big!
You can never ask God for “Too Much” – It is Impossible.
There is no Prayer that you can Pray that God will considered “Too Hard” though it may be Hard to Man.
I mean you know 2 Kings 2: 9-15 – Elijah said to Elisha: Sir, what do you want?
Elisha said you at the one who asked me oh: I want a “Double Portion” of your Spirit.
The Man of God said: Ah, ah; you asked for a “Hard Thing”.
And I don’t blame Elijah – A “Single Portion” of his Power was calling Fire down from Heaven at will.
There are many of you listening to me now or reading now on the Label of DMC; who will be satisfied if you have the Power to Call Down Fire from Heaven anytime you want – But that is still too little.
God can do much more than that!
One of my sons came to me and he was excited telling me of some Miracles that the Almighty God had been doing.
I said well done my son but that is still too small.
Have you considered Joshua? – He told the Sun to “Stand Still” and it obeyed him.
Have you reached that Stage?
Let me Close: “Linking Up” with Him when you “Lift Up” your eyes automatically means: “Taking His Yokes upon you”!
In Matthew 11: 28-30; He said: Come Unto Me all ye that labour and are heavy ladened and I will give you rest.
But you have to take My Yokes upon you – You have to “Link Up” with Me.
You want to be as Great as Great can be? – You must come under a “New Management”; which is the Management of the Almighty God.
So, my beloveth children; as you begin your Journey Upwards; remember you are no longer your own:
- You must obey your Senior Partner.
- You must surrender your Dreams to Him because He is the Only One who can bring them to Past.
- You must Hand Over everything to Him and let Him Prove Himself to be “More Than Sufficient” .
ALTAR CALL
As for those of you who are not yet Born Again; He is willing to save your Soul Provided you are willing to come under His Management – He will not just be your Saviour, He must be your Lord also.
So, those of you who are willing that He will take over and run your life from now knowing that He can only take you Higher and Higher Day-By-Day.
Will you bow down your heads and surrender your Life to Him and cry unto Him and say Lord take over absolutely and I will Serve You for the rest of my Life.
Let us begin to Pray.
And those of us who are already “Linked Up” to the Lord Jesus Christ – The One who can answer Prayers by Fire.
Please, Pray for those who are surrendering their lives to Him now.
Ask that He will Pick them up too, receive them into the Family of God, wipe away all their sins and give them a New Beginning so that their lives also will become meaningful.
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER.
My Father and my God; I want to say Thank You.
I want to give You all the Glory, I want to give You all the Honour, I want to give you Adorations: For everything that You have already done for us in the Past.
I Thank You for Your Words and I am Thanking You for all those who are surrendering their lives to You today.
Father, Please receive them, have Mercy on them, save their Souls.
I am Praying Lord God Almighty that Your Blood will wash away all their sins and You will received them into the Family of God.
And as they have decided to take Your Yokes upon them; Please begin to draw them Upwards.
Father, all Your children who will be “Looking Up” to You today; “Linking Up” with You – Like never before, draw each and everyone of us Upwards.
Thank You my Father.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
ANNOUNCEMENT
- Now, those of us who has given our lives to Jesus Christ; Please don’t forget to get in contact with me one way or the other – So that I can continue to Pray for you.
- And the rest of us; make sure that you spend “Quality Time” crying to the Almighty God to “Lift You Up”, to bring you to Heights that you never even dreamt Possible you can ever reach.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL – AMEN!!!
