MINISTERING DAY 4 MORNING TALK 5: REVEREND (DR.) FELIX ILAWEAGBON OMOBUDE (GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT OF GOSPEL LIGHT INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES (NEW COVENANT CHURCH) BENIN CITY, NIGERIA)

DATE: 10TH DECEMBER, 2020

BIBLE TEXT: EXODUS 19:4

We give Glory to God and the Lord Jesus Christ – Who saved us for this opportunity to bring His Words to His People today.

I want to Thank God for our Leader and father – The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye and of course our mother; Pastor (Mrs) Adeboye – We thank you. My wife and I will continue to give Thanks to you.

I like to thank all the Leadership and indeed the entire Membership of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) – I congratulate all of you that God has kept us alive to be Part of this Year’s Holy Ghost Congress.

I’m reading from Exodus 19:4.

Here God spoke to Moses to tell Israel.

He said: Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on Eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.

Amazingly, God considered the Exodus of Israel out of Egypt as a Flight. And that He God was the Captain – It’s like that the Carrier was an Eagle.

So, He bore Israel on Eagle’s Wing.

Now, for four hundred and thirty (430) Years; Israel remains a slave and they had yearned for a day that by Divine Act; the yokes of Slavery will be broken out of their lives.

They must have remembered the Promise that God made to their grandfather – Abraham in Genesis 15: 13-14.

There, God spoke to Abraham that you should know assuredly that thy Seed shall be a Stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them and they shall afflict them for four hundred (400) Years.

In Verse 14; God said: And also that Nation, whom they shall serve will judge and afterwards shall they let them go or come out with Great Substance.

This is a Great Promise and it’s like God saw well ahead of time.

We serve a God that is not a Stranger to our circumstances.

God saw ahead of time what will happen to Israel and now Israel found themselves in bondage in Egypt.

Sin has never anytime done anyone any Good; sin has never blessed any People; sin has never lifted any Nation.

So, Israel served Egypt as slaves four hundred (400) Years.

They must have remembered this Promise – God did Promise that after four hundred (400) Years; I will get them out and that they will come out with Substance.

Israel couldn’t have helped herself – The situation was overwhelming them.

I mean that in the Holy Ghost Congress like this; I am sure that there are People who has found themselves in situations that they just can’t help themselves – Overwhelming Situations and everyday you are longing for a Divine Intervention.

The time for waiting for a Flight is one of the most challenging time for those who travels; especially when the Flight is delayed.

So, some People may get angry, some may return home and some blame all kind of People around them.

And so for Israel; the “Waiting Time” was long – Four Hundred and Thirty (430) Years is not a joke.

One day; God found a Man at the backside of a desert – His name was Moses and by Signs and Wonders; God drew his attention.

And He told him in my own Paraphrase: Get ready, the time for the Flight is at hand. Go and tell your People that I am ready; that I’m sending a Flight; I’m moving you out of this situation.

We serve a God who does what He says!

And so do you know that the News came to Israel and it was a Pleasant Surprise – Pharaoh was not willing to let them go.

And the Flight that we fly in the air must be ready to fight the Force of Gravity.

And so God moved in the Mighty Way with Signs and Wonders – The waters turned to blood; darkness invaded Egypt, Lice all over the Place; Flies all over the Place and by Mighty Hands; God moved the first born of all Egypt and they were all killed.

Freedom has never been gotten by any People without a Price.

But I am happy to let you know that your own Freedom has been Paid for – Someone else took the blame.

God decided to fight for Israel and God arrived at the scene.

And I will imagined that on arrival: Announcement was made over Israel that the Flight has arrived – Get ready to leave Egypt, get ready as it is time to Fly.

Timing is important in Flying!

So, you have to get yourself ready: Ready Mentally, get ready Physically, get ready with all your Material Things that you need to travel with.

To Israel, it looked like a joke – When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion; we were like them that dreamed.

Can this be real? Four Hundred and Thirty (430) Years of Problem came to an end the day the Flight arrived.

You can also listen to the audio here: It Is Time To Fly – Rev. Felix Omobude

I am saying to somebody; whatever time of the day you are hearing me or reading now on the Label of DMC: God wants to meet you at the very Point of your Need. He is aware of your situation; He is aware of the forces of Pharaoh; He is aware of the shame and Pains that you have gone through. But He is determined to get you out of that situation by a “Supernatural Intervention”.

And you know: I like the description – God said: All these things that happened; it was not by Israel Strength – I bore you on Eagle’s wings, I carried you.

It was a Flight – When you get to the Red Sea and the Red Sea was ahead of you and the Egyptians were behind you – They thought that they will finish you at that bank of the Sea and You made a Way.

God is making a Way for you wherever you are now or reading now on the Label of DMC from. He is making a Way out of that situation – Amen.

No wonder when it happened; when all Israel Passed through the Red Sea on a dry ground; they saw their enemies covered in water because they had no “Boarding Pass” – So, they couldn’t enter the aircraft and the water submerged them and buried them.

Moses saw this – It was too wonderful for him.

In Exodus 15:1; Moses began to sing. He said: I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed Gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

In Verse 2; he went on to say: The LORD is my Strength and song, and he is become my Salvation: he is my God, and I will Prepare him an Habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

In Verse 3 – Which is an Outstanding Verse; He said: The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is His Name.

Do you know that God; after Four Hundred and Thirty (430) Years put laughter and singing in the lives of the Israelites and they began to sing and rejoice?

By Exodus 15:11; they said: Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, Glorious in Holiness, fearful in Praises, doing Wonders?

… Amazing God! What a Good God that we serve!

And you know looking at the Eagles – The Eagle is at home when he is in the air; just as fish is at home when it is in the water.

And God compelled this Flight.

And the Eagle’s Flight able to soar, beat all the storms, fly to High Altitude.

That is the Flight for those who believed – No storms of Life can stop you, No witchcraft, No demonic activities can stop you when you enter this aircraft that is Divinely sent.

You know in Isaiah 40:31; the Eagle and the Flight – It was about those who wait upon the Lord; they shall renew their Strength.

Isaiash 40:31 says: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their Strength; they shall mount up with wings as Eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

The Eagles are known for flying high – High Altitude; known for beating the storms.

So, the Eagles flew so much such that issues are confounded.

And so no wonder that before they left; God told Israel – He said: Don’t be afraid; the Egyptians whom you have seen today; you will see them again no more.

Out of Egypt – No more Slavery, no more shame, no more maltreatment. They are now bore on Eagle’s wing.

I urge you today to learn from the Lesson of Israel.

And God told them later – Now that you have left Egypt; it was not your Strength. I (God) did it, I carried you, I bore you on Eagle’s wing.

And you know in Isaiah 31:5 – You see God speaking as Eagle, as birds flying – So will the Lord of Host defend Jerusalem.

Isaiah 31:5 says: As birds flying, so will the LORD of Hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and Passing over he will Preserve it.

In defending also; He will deliver it and Passing Over, He will deliver it.

There is a Flight that can bring Deliverance to you, that can bring Healings to you, that can save you from Oppressions, that can save you from shame.

And no wonder, David the Psalmist was writing in Psalms 18:3-6:

3. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be Praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death Prevented me.

6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his Temple, and my cry came before Him, even into His ears.

I. In my distress – There might be People that are depressed here today. You are in a difficult situation because you need a Divine Hand to do for you what you couldn’t do for yourself – Then you will enjoy the Flight because it is time to Fly – Amen.

II. In my distress, I called unto God, I cried to my God and He heard me.

You know in Verse 9-10 – An amazing Scriptures.

9 He bowed the Heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under His feet.

10 And He rode upon a Cherub, and did fly: yea, He did fly upon the wings of the wind.

In Verse 16; He said: He sent from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters.

… This is a Air Operations.

In Psalms 40:1; the Psalmist said: I waited Patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

I waited Patiently:

I. Normally, the “Waiting Time” is usually very challenging.

II. During the “Waiting Time” others ran out of the Church, others laughed at me, others said that you don’t know what you are doing.

The question is: Will you wait upon the Lord?

He doesn’t abandoned those who wait on Him.

In Verse 2 – Amazing Words He said: He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

He took you out of the bad situations and put a New Song in your mouth.

Not only Moses will sing after the Flight; you also will sing like the Psalmist in Psalms 34:1-4:

1. I will bless the LORD at all times: His Praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Everyday: In the morning, in the evening – I will bless the Lord at all times; His Praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My Soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His Name together.

It is time to be singing because the Flight has taken off finally and we are cruising. We are now at High Altitude and Pharaoh is no more a threat.

… So, Oh Magnify the Lord with me!

4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

If you will seek Him – You will find Him, He will hear you, He will deliver you in a swift operations by Flight. He will get you out.

Ladies and Gentlemen; Men and Women; the Flight is about to take off now – Whatever situations you are in, He is able to get you out of it.

And do you know that Jesus Christ made us to undergo this Flight issue?

He specifically told His Disciples in Matthew 24:20 – That they should do their Flight not in Winter.

He knows weather issues – He knows and so not a Stranger to Flight matter.

As I round up this Exaltation; when Jesus Christ was leaving this world; He has charged His Disciples to go into all the world and Preach the Gospel – The Good News.

That it is no more time for Slavery; that the Slave can go out free, that your Healings has been Paid for.

Go and Preach to the world that the Pains of death has been overcome; the stings of death are broken.

And that is the Good News that I bring to you today!

The Hour of tears, the hour of shame, the hour of bondage is over.

… It is a New Dawn

May I ask you to turn your Life over to Jesus Christ; the Captain of our Flight.

May I ask you to decongest yourself of the excess baggage that cannot enter this Flight.

And Jesus Christ having said that and charge His Church – The Bible says that He went by Flight. He was taking away out of their sight and He went by Flight.

And the Angel (The two (2) White Men in White Apparels) came and spoke to the Disciples and said: Why are you gazing into the Stars?

They said that the same Jesus Christ who flew away (taking away); will also come back in the same manner.

His Returning Back Flight; we are told that He will caught up those who are ready.

… There will be Reception in the air.

You can book your Place today by asking Jesus Christ to come into your Life.

You can join in the Flight and hand over your cries, hand over your tears, hand over your Pains, hand over your Struggles to Him.

And you can join the Flight and God is ready to take you Higher above all obstacles, all challenges, all barriers of Life.

He will bear you on Eagle’s wings.

In Psalms 44:3; referring to Israel’s exit – The Psalmist said: For they got not the land in Possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

And I can assure you that in this Holy Ghost Congress; God is set in this Unusual Time, to do Unusual Things in this Unusual Way.

Isaiah 46:4; He declared, He said: And even to your old age I am He; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

… What a Powerful Statement.

Thank God for Jesus!

Romans 8:1; and I will close.

You want that Power that defys death, that defys the grave, defys Scientific Law, raised Jesus Christ out of the Grave.

Romans 8:11 says: But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.

ALTAR CALL

I reach out to you today: Wherever you are on the surface of the Earth or reading now on the Label of DMC; why will you want to continue in Egypt? Why will you want to remain under Oppression?

There is Freedom for you; there is emancipation for you.

You say: Reverend Omobude; I want Jesus Christ: I am tired of staying in Egypt, I am tired of those reproaches; I need a Flight.

Then the “Mama Eagle” is ready to bear you on Eagle’s wing and carry you out of Egypt into your Canaan land.

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

Will you say: Lord Jesus; come into my heart from today.

… Just follow Him; make it a “Conscious Request” and He will save you and deliver you!

CLOSING PRAYER

Now my Father; I reach out to all my audience including those reading now on the Label of DMC – Wherever they are on the Surface of the Earth; you will end their Slavery.

You don’t want any of your children in bondage; that’s why You sent Your Son to go to the Cross for us.

Now, I exercise Authority and Dominion over every acts of Slavery over the Oppressions of the enemies – The Spirit of Set Back.

That You release the Spirit of Pharaoh that rule Men on Earth today. I break that Power in the Name of Jesus.

I Proclaimed Freedom and emancipation for you. Light of the Glorious Gospel of Christ expel darkness out of your Life.

The Sick – From the crown of your head to the sole of your feet; I rebuke every sickness and disease and infirmities. I command them out of your Life – Be Healed, made Whole and be restored.

And every Soul whose destinies the enemies has destroyed; the Lord made a Way for you.

I break the bonds of wickedness. Oppressive Forces will no more rule over your Life.

I Proclaimed Freedom and emancipation. And I declare that it is time to Fly.

I bless you, I bless your family.

In Jesus Name – Amen!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
