OPENING PRAYER

Almighty God: I am that I am; the One who never grows Old – We worship You.

We Thank You for all You have done in our lives all these Years; we Thank You in advance for what You will yet do – Please, accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.

We Thank You for those of us who has had Contacts upon Contacts with You; we Thank You for those of us whose Destinies You have Activated; we Thank You for those of us who You have Promoted; we Thank You for those of us that You have brought into Perfection.

My Lord and my Saviour; Please accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.

As we continue with our Study today; let the Power in Your Words Perform Special Miracles in the lives of all of us.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

Please be seated wherever you are.

As you know; we have been doing a “Mini Series” within the “Major Series”.

The “Major Series” is: “The Wonders of God” while the “Mini Series” had been on now for the Past four (4) weeks and this is the fourth (4th) week that we are talking about: “The Wonders of Divine Contact”.

Today, we want to go to Part 4.

The Bible Text that we have been using before has been: Isaiah 41: 10-13.

But today; we want to use another Bible Text to round up this discussion and it is going to be found in: Matthew 11: 28-30:

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

BRIEF RECAPS OF PART 1 TO PART 3 OF THE MINI SERIES.

In the very first (1st) Part of the Mini Series; we learnt that we are dealing with a God who is “UNLIMITED” – Unlimited in Strength; Unlimited in Power; Unlimited in Might – That is why He is called: “The Almighty”; Unlimited in Resources – That is why He is called: “The God who is More Than Enough”; Unlimited by Age et cetera, et cetera.

And that Man on the other hand is just “Ordinary Dust” of the Earth and God Himself said so: Dust thou art and to dust thou shall return.

That as far as God is concerned; He even described Man as “Ordinary Worm”.

But then we said that when there is a combination of God – The Unlimited One with this “Worm”; suddenly something Miraculously begins to happen.

… Just one (1) Contact and the Destiny of the “Worm” will become Activated.

And then we said that the Second (2nd) Contact will then lead to Promotion while the Third (3rd) Contact will lead to Perfection.

And then as you learnt Last Week (Online RCCG Sunday Service of 22nd November, 2020 in the Part 3 of the Series); we told you what will happen when you have a “Permanent Association” with Him.

That you will have “No Fear” anymore:

I. Because He said: I will Help you.

II. Because He said: I will reduce your enemies to nothing.

III. Because He Promises you that He will Uphold you.

Et cetera, et cetera!

… We learnt all these Last Week (Online RCCG Sunday Service of 22nd November, 2020 in the Part 3 of the Series).

Now the question is: Suppose I said I want to have a Permanent Relationship with God and He said He doesn’t want to have a Permanent Relationship with me. What can I do because God is Sovereign – He does as He Pleases.

As a matter of fact; Jesus Christ said: No Man can come unto Me except my Father draws him.

… Now we know the beauty – Last Week I’m sure you were all crying to God after we finished asking God: I want to be Permanently with you. I don’t want to be an Ex Champion because we talked about the Problems of being an Ex Champion Last Week.

Suppose I said that I want to be with you Lord Permanently; will He allowed me?

Well, according to the Passage that we just read; He has even thrown unto you an Invitation: Come Unto Me all ye that Labour and are heavy laden and I will give you Rest.

However, He added: Take My Yoke upon you.

So, we could be talking now: You want to be Permanently connected to Him; then consider “The Wonders of His Yokes”.

… A Wonderful Invitation: COME!

You want to be Permanently connected to Me; you are welcome!

Let me give you an opportunity to exchange certain things – Hard Labour for Joyful Working because there is a difference between: “Working and Labouring”.

God expects you to work to eat – 2 Thessalonians 3:10 says: He who will not work should not eat.

In Genesis 2:15-18; God gave Man work before He gave him a wife.

That is why when some People got angry when I told my daughters – Don’t marry a “Jobless Man” and they claimed that they know the Bible.

… He gave Adam a work – Take care of the Garden before He now said I think this fellow shi have a wife.

… You have no work; don’t look for a wife!

And I said it again now loud and clear: My daughter if somebody comes to you and you say what is your work and he said he is an “Emergency Contractor” – Just say bye bye; you don’t need to Pray about that!

Also listen to the audio here: Wonders of Divine Contact (Part 4) – Pastor E.A Adeboye

Oh, I’m a Business Man; I’m always doing Contracts.

Ask him: Show me how many Contracts have you won? Let’s see from your records that you are not about to become a Leach; Preying on me.

Oh, but I want to be married – It is better to be Single than to be married to the wrong fellow.

… That is the truth of the matter and I’m talking to my daughters – Anybody who is angry about that; that is his own business as I’m not talking to you!

God expects you to work but when working becomes sweating; when it becomes Labouring then it is a curse.

Genesis 3: 17-19 – It is a curse Pronounced on Adam.

Before, he was working without sweating but God now said: You will sweat before you eat.

Exodus 1: 13-14 tells us that in Egypt; the Egyptians makes the children of Israel to Labour.

Labouring means you work like an Elephant and you eat like an Ant!

That is why you found out those who do the heaviest kind of duty are usually the least Paid – That is why they are called Labourers!

God said: Stop Labouring; Come Unto Me, you will work and you will Prosper without having to sweat.

There is a way God give you what you will do; which you must do diligently and do Joyfully and you will be blessed as a result.

He said: Come, let us exchange. Let us change from Labouring to Working.

And then He said: Hey, let us take care of your burden.

What is a Burden?

A Burden is a “Heavy Load” – A Load that is so heavy that you find it so difficult to carry and yet you can’t put it down.

It is attached to you in such a manner that you can’t dodge it!

… That is what is called a Burden!

Another word for Burden is Affliction.

An Affliction is something that is operating in your Life so as to hinder your Multiplication; something that does not make Success easy for you!

Exodus 1: 8-11; the Bible tells us that the Egyptians afflicted the children of Israel to hinder their Multiplication.

And what is a Yoke?

A Yoke is an instrument that joins two (2) animals together so that they can walk in Partnership.

So, when Jesus Christ said: Come Unto Me all ye that Labour and I will give you Rest.

He is saying: Let us put an end to your “Hard Labour” – Working like an Elephant, eating like an Ant.

Let me take away your Burden and then you have to take on My Yoke.

Genesis 26: 12-14 – Isaac sowed and reap in the same Year; an hundredfold Returns.

He is asking you to transfer your Burden to Him – The One who can bear it.

Isaiah 53: 4-5; God is called: “The Burden Bearer”.

1 Peter 5:7 says: Cast your burdens upon Him; He cares for you.

That load that is too heavy for you to carry is easy with God!

… He is carrying the whole Earth in the Palm of His Hands!

So, if He is carrying the whole Earth in the Palm of His Hands; how much is your burden that He can’t carry?

He can carry you and carry all your Problems at the same time.

But when He says that if you want this situation that I’m offering you; you have to put My Yoke upon you – He is saying: Come and become My Partner on a Permanent Basis.

2 Corinthians 6:1; the Bible says: We are workers together with Him.

He didn’t say that you won’t work; He said that we will be doing it together – We will be Workers together.

And so He is inviting you so therefore – If you want Permanent Relationship with Him, He said: No Problem, I want you to be my Partner on a Permanent Basis.

And if you do; then you will begin to enjoy Uncommon Success on a Permanent Basis.

You know Philippians 4:13 in which we refer to Last Sunday – Philippians 4:13 says: I can do ALL things.

How can I do it? – Through Christ who is supplying the Strength. You will be doing things; you will be succeeding and People will be asking how?

You will say: It is not me; it is the One who is my Partner who is working His Purpose out.

You will begin to enjoy “Uncommon Victory” and everybody will be saying how?

How can you be so Victorious?

You will say: Not me; it is my Partner who is the Lord of Host; who had never lost a War.

I mean consider just one example – 2 Samuel 6: 1-12.

It tells you about a Man who became a “Divine Partner” even by accident – His name is Obededom.

God dwelleth in his house – The two (2) of them were only together just for three (3) Months and the whole Nation heard about the Prosperity of this Man.

It wasn’t long before they Put two (2) and two (2) together and said: Ha, it is because “That Ark of Covenant of God” was in his house.

You know in John 15:5; the Almighty God said: If you abide in Me and My words abide in you; then you will bring forth much fruits. You will become My Partner, your Success will have to amaze everybody who is watching.

And He says it is because like the Original Bible Text that we read in Isaiah 41: 10-13 – He said: I will hold your hands and help you – Amen.

Personal Permanent Relationship; Divine Partnership will guaranteed Divine Help on a continuous basis.

Now, I mentioned that Last Week – I’m sure that we dealth with that in details.

But you see: What I didn’t tell you in details Last Week is that: When we are talking about Divine Help on a Permanent Basis now; it is not just helping you – It goes on to Him Carrying you!

In Exodus 19:4; He said: I will carry you on Eagle’s Wings.

I think I Preached this Sermon long time ago on Flying.

We Probably will be dealing more with Flying at the RCCG Holy Ghost Congress in December, 2020 by the Grace of God – Amen.

The advantages of Flying:

I. If you are walking; you make Progress.

II. If you are running; you make faster Progress.

III. If you are driving; you are faster still.

But then, if you are driving; you have to Slow down at corners, you have to climb Mountains et cetera et cetera.

IV. But when you are Flying; you don’t have to bend to the right, bend to the left – You go straight to your destination.

That is why when they are talking about distances and they are talking in Aeronautical Terms – They will say many things as the crow flies; as a bird will flies.

If you want to measure the distance between Lagos and Ibadan – The distance by road is different from the distance by Air because when you are travelling by Air; you don’t have anything to do with Rivers and this and that but you just go straight.

But as beautiful as flying is; ask the birds – They will tell you that after flying for a while, they will look for a tree to Perch on to rest.

And if you ask a bird to fly from here to London; that bird will have to be Pretty Strong to do that job without resting.

But when you are sitting down in a Plane; when you are being carried; you sit down, you eat, you sleep, you wake up, you arrive without sweat.

God is saying that: If you become My Partner; I will be carrying you on Eagle’s Wings.

I don’t know if you studied Matthew 14: 22-23 – I always spend some times with these stories.

It was the story where the Disciples were in the boat and there was a Storm and then it was at Night and Jesus Christ was about Passing by, walking on water.

And they were afraid and He said to them: Fear Not; it is I.

And Peter said: If it is You; bid me to come.

And He said: Come!

You know the Story and he (Peter) was walking on water towards Jesus Christ and he began to sink and he cried for help and Jesus Christ grabbed him and together, they walk into the ship.

Who was carrying who?

How did Peter now continue the journey into the boat without sinking?

He is linked now with the Burden Bearer!

He was Practically, Supernaturally carried from where he was sinking into the boat.

May I Pray for someone here today or those reading now on the Label of DMC; someone who is willing to take His (Jesus Christ) Yoke upon him or her: That from now on; the Almighty God will carry you on Eagle’s Wings – Amen.

No matter how far the journey you have to travel; you won’t even sweat at all – Amen.

However, I need to now go a step deeper because when we are closing this Mini Series – When He says: Take My Yoke upon you; there are implications for you before you accept that invitation.

1. Because He is saying: Hey, the moment you entered to this Partnership with Me; it has to be Forever – No Looking back is allowed.

To accept that invitation to come to Him; to take up the Yoke: No Looking back is allowed; No Backsliding is allowed.

In Luke 9: 61-62; He said: Once you lay your hands on the Plough; if you look back; you can’t be my Disciple. You will not be allowed to stay in the Relationship.

In Hebrew 10:38; He says: If anybody draws back; my Soul shall have no Pleasure in him.

In 2 Peter 2: 20-22; the moment you entered into this Permanent Relationship with Me; if you choose to turn back, you will be treated like a dog returning to his vomit.

2. Another implication is that from the moment you choose to accept the Invitation into a Permanent Relationship with God; your opinion will no longer matter.

… This is what I think; this is what is my opinion – No, No, No.

The moment you entered into this Partnership with Him; it is from now on: “Thy Word Oh Lord!”

Luke 5: 1-11; Peter said: I am the fisherman, I know how but: “At thy Word”.

Your Word is my Command – Whatever you ask me to do is what I will do!

It doesn’t matter whether it makes sense to me or not because as a matter of fact, Miracles don’t make sense!

Miracles disobeys all the Laws of the Scientist!

Miracles means God SUSPENDS all the Laws so that He can do what He wants to do (Note: Suspends and not Cancels).

When He asked you to do something; it will be “Yes Lord” from now on.

… So, be careful before you accept the Invitation!

I mean some of you heard this Story as I told it a long time ago:

I was invited to I think University of Maiduguri (In Borno State, Northern Part of Nigeria) several Years ago by the few Christians in that University at that time to come and Preach over a Weekend.

I went there – I have fasted, I have Prayed, I have Studied and on the first night; I Preached my heart out and then made an Altar Call and only six (6) People came forward.

If I had Preached that kind of Sermon in the South; I will expect one hundred (100) or at least twenty (20) or thirty (30) New Converts.

Six (6)? – I was very sad.

I got to my room: Lord, what did I do wrong?

And He said: You didn’t do anything wrong.

And then how come? I travelled all these way? What do I do Lord?

And He said: What I want you to do is that tomorrow, go and buy Babariga (A name of the kind of Top wear a Male Northerner in Nigeria wears as a way of their Culture).

Babariga (A name of the kind of Top wear a Male Northerner in Nigeria wears as a way of their Culture)? – What has that got to do with Winning Souls?

… Tomorrow, when you are going to Preach; that is what you are going to wear.

I woke up early in the Morning; I asked the Students there: Is there anyone here I can get Babariga (A name of the kind of Top wear a Male Northerner in Nigeria wears as a way of their Culture) from?

They said: There are tailors in town and they can sew you one within an hour.

So, I went to get one!

The following evening; I wore Babariga (A name of the kind of Top wear a Male Northerner in Nigeria wears as a way of their Culture).

As I was climbing the Altar – Because the day before I went in my suits; the Students began to shout and to clap and to rejoice because they saw me wearing Babariga (A name of the kind of Top wear a Male Northerner in Nigeria wears as a way of their Culture).

And their shouting attracted all the other Students who are outside – They want to see what is causing the excitement.

They didn’t come in – They stood outside by the Window.

I Preached in Babariga (A name of the kind of Top wear a Male Northerner in Nigeria wears as a way of their Culture); I made the Altar Call and ninety six (96) of them came in from outside.

The Almighty God said: The People who needed Salvation didn’t come in. Those who were inside were already saved that is why you got only six (6) yesterday.

I wore Babariga (A name of the kind of Top wear a Male Northerner in Nigeria wears as a way of their Culture) because His Word is my Command!

When He said to Peter: Throw the Net; Peter said – “At Thy Word”.

I know what you are asking me to do doesn’t make sense but I will do it.

Your opinion won’t matter anymore!

Why? – Because your Senior Partner knows much better!

1 Corinthians 1: 24-31 makes it clear: Every of your best Wisdom is foolishness with Him.

So, when you think that you know what to do; you need to put that one aside the moment you come into Permanent Relationship with Him.

Don’t forget that He told us clearly: His Thoughts are not our thoughts; His Ways are not our ways. As the Heaven is higher than the Earth so are His Thoughts higher than our thoughts and His Ways higher than our ways.

Never you forget what Naaman said in 2 Kings 5: 1-14.

Naaman said when Elisha told him: Go and wash in River Jordan and be clean.

He said: Ha, Ha; there are better Rivers where I’m coming from. Why can’t I wash there and be clean?

He said: I thought he will come out and lay his hands to touch my leprosy and then call on his God.

If somebody had not told him: Don’t be stupid; you have been thinking since all these Years – How far has it taken you?

When he surrendered his “I thought” to what God said; he got results

Remember: When He says: Take My Yoke upon you; He added: My Yoke is easy, My Burden is Light!

In Exodus 1:14; the Bible said: The Yokes of the Egyptians, the burden of the Egyptians were bitter, hard and rigorous.

Whereas the Yoke that He is offering you according to John 10:10 – He said: I have come so that you may have Life and have it more Abundantly.

And remember that He is asking you to come to Rest.

All these Years that we have been struggling on your own, how far have we gone?

When there is somebody who says: Come, let Me give you Peace: Peace of Mind, Peace of your Body, Peace of your Soul, Peace in the Spirit.

Why? – Because the One who is asking you to be His Partner is “The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).

And He says in John 14:27; He said: When I give you Peace; it is not like the one that the world will give you; not the kind of Peace that won’t last forever.

I have always look at some Pictures, some Paintings with Headings: PEACE.

And there are quite a few that I love so much.

There was a case of a baby sleeping at the back of a mother and the mother is going through a difficult time. The child did not know anything, the child was just sleeping – Not the concern of the child.

My children don’t come to me to say: Where do you get the money to buy rice.

No; when they are hungry, they say: Daddy we are hungry.

And many at times they will even tell me what they want to eat – Noodles and they tell me the kind of Noodles.

Where you get it to buy – That is none of their business?

How much does it cost – That is none of their business?

Brother and Sister; your tomorrow is none of your business.

Your tomorrow is in the Hands of the One who is not just the Alpha but the Omega. He know the End from the Beginning!

He said: Come Unto Me; surrender to Me completely, become My Permanent Partner and you will know the meaning of Rest.

… He said that: I have come so that you can have Life more Abundantly.

Will you accept His Invitation and then you will understand: “The Wonders of a Permanent Contact” with the Almighty God.

I Pray that you will be willing to put on His Yokes today – Amen.

And from now; you will enjoy Rest – Amen.

ALTAR CALL

I know that there are some of you who has not surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ up till now because you feel that there will be Rules and Regulations.

If I give my Life to Him; He will ask me: You will no longer sin; you can no longer fornicate etc.

If you think that success is expensive; try failure.

If you think that Living Holy is expensive, consider the wages of sin.

If you think that Living Pure is costly; see what will be the outcome of Living Loose.

I’m inviting those of you who are yet to surrender to Jesus Christ; Please do so now.

I’m also appealing to those of us who says we are children of God; let your surrender to God be Complete and Total.

Accept His Invitation: Come to Him, let Him give you Rest and be willing to take His Yokes upon you.

So, if you want to surrender your Life to Him; Please bow your heads now and I will Pray with you.

He will save your Soul; He will begin to carry you as well as your burden but then you must know – No Looking back now. You must surrender and surrender absolutely.

Let Us Pray!

PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER

My Father and my God once again I just want to say Thank You.

Oh Thank You for Your Words; Thank You for Revelations – Please accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.

… Give us the Grace Lord to surrender completely and we will bless you for the rest of our lives.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

Again, those of you who are surrendering your lives to Jesus Christ; get in contact with me as soon as Possible and I Promised you that I will be Praying for you.

As for those of us who are already children of God and you are still hesitating as to whether to go headlong with the Lord Jesus Christ; Please cry to Him today and ask Him to give you the Grace to be His Partner Permanently.

Tell Him: Put Your Yokes on me Lord and I’m yours and yours forever – No more Looking back.

And He will answer your Prayers in Jesus Mighty Name – Amen.

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!!!
