Today, we want to look at the Biggest of them all – And that is THE STORY OF LAZARUS in John 11:39-45.
Of course, the Story is in the whole Chapter; but we just want to read the following few verses:
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the Glory of God?
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the People which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
The Almighty God is going to give you a Breakthrough that will bring Millions into the Kingdom of God – Amen.
I will just go straight to the Lessons we can learn from Lazarus.
In this case, Lazarus wasn’t just dead; he wasn’t just going to the Burial Ground; he had been buried four (4) days. By now he was Stinking!
There are some of you who are not just Poor; who are not just Destitute; unless God intervenes, you are more than Finished!
But a Single Encounter is all you need and the story will Change.
- The first (1st) Lesson to learn about what a Single Encounter can do for you, is that: Those who have written you Off, would get a Surprise.
In John 1:45-46; when Nathaniel was told – ‘Ha, we have found the Saviour.’ He said: “Can any Good Thing come out of Nazareth?”
There are those who believe that nothing Good can ever come from you.
There are those who believe you can never become anything.
… GOD WILL SURPRISE THEM – Amen!
In 1 Samuel 22:1-2, because of an Encounter you are going to have with God today: Even your brothers would come to you for Comfort – Amen!
Because when David went to the Cave of Adullam, the Bible said: “All his brothers came there to him!” – Including Eliab.
You know, if you read 1 Samuel 17:20-28; when David came to the Warfront and was asking: “What is going to be given to the one who would destroy Goliath?”
Eliab said: Get away from here! Who told you, you can become anything? Go and be looking over the little sheep and goats back there; you are not meant for Greatness!
“Oh, so you are deceived by that Old Prophet coming to Pour some Oil on you? Go back Boy! You are Nothing but a Shepherd Boy.”
But in 1 Samuel 22 (that I mentioned earlier on); Eliab came to David for Shelter!
Even your relatives who had said you can never become anything, would get a Surprise – Amen!
In Genesis 50:15-18, the brothers of Joseph came and fell before him and said: “We be your Servants!”
Oh, by that Special Encounter that God is going to give you: Everybody in your family would say: “You are the Boss” – Amen!
And there is one thing I found in Genesis 26:12-16 (if you like you can read it from the beginning).
You see, when Isaac got to Gerar, he had nothing!
He just got to the City and found out, there was Famine. He was about to relocate; God said, don’t go anywhere, just stay here!
By the time God finished with him; the King of the Country came to him and said: “Sir, you have become mightier than I.”
In that Name that is above every other names; at least one of you that is listening to me today, or reading now on the Label of DMC; will one day be Greater than a Nation – Amen!
- The Second (2nd) Thing to Learn from this – is going to be found in John 11:32. The Bible says: “Mary said to Jesus Christ,if ONLY You had been here, my brother would not have died.
You know, from time to time,there are People who would say to you: “Where is your God? You have been serving Him all these Years; telling us that He can save. – WHERE IS HE NOW?”
Now that you are in a wreck (Financially), now that you are so broke that there is no hope.
Where is this your God, to Whom you said you have been Paying your Tithes, giving your Offerings and doing all those things.
Where is He now?
… I have Good News for you!
You see, in Exodus 5:1-2, Pharaoh said: “Who is God? I don’t know Him! I’m not going to obey Him, I’m not going to let Israel go.”
But by the time you get to Exodus 12:30-36 – After one Special Divine Encounter; Pharaoh woke up in the night and sent for Moses, and said:
“Hey, your God is the Almighty. God! Go and Worship Him. Take everything you need and go.”
Before the end of this Year, your God would Prove Himself – Amen!
- And then, there is even a Bigger Lesson to learn.
And that is the fact that: It was the very hands that rolled the stone against the tomb of Lazarus that rolled the stone away.
The hands that have Sealed your tomb will be the hands that will Unseal it – Amen!
Mark 10:46-52, when Bartimaeus was crying to Jesus Christ for Mercy; the crowd told him to shut up!
But do you know it’s the same crowd that came and said: “Be of Good Comfort, He is calling you?”
All those who thought your Destiny is already Sealed; they will be the same People that God will use to Unseal it – Amen.
- When they were Putting Lazarus in the Tomb, they bound him in Grave clothes.
But the same People who bound him, also loose him!
And this time round, they were trembling as they were doing so.
Because, if you have ever seen a Dead man coming out of the grave – And I’m telling you, if you are one of the People that is sent to go and loose a Dead Man; you will jump out of the way! Your hands would be trembling.
Hey, Meaning what?
… Oh, just one illustration would do!
In Genesis 27:30-35; you already know the Story – Jacob ‘Stole’ the blessings or at least, got the blessings of Esau by deceit.
But in Genesis 32:1-7, after about twenty (20) Years; when Jacob decided to return home. And he heard that Esau was coming with Four Hundred (400) men to meet him. Jacob trembled!
All those who for one reason or the other had been hindering your Promotion; very soon, they will tremble – Amen.
When they see how Great you have become, they will tremble – Amen!
- But Probably the most beautiful aspect of this Story is the fact that: Your Latter End would be better than the former!
Oh, Lazarus had been there! We never heard about him. Lazarus was raised from the dead, thousands of Years ago and we are still talking about him now.
If Lazarus had died quietly, if he had not been raised from the dead; we won’t be talking about him now.
… It may be difficult for some of you to swallow.
But if Jesus Christ tarries, one hundred Years from now: they will still be talking about you – Amen!
They will be talking about your Greatness – Amen!
They will be talking about someone who was nothing, but suddenly became “So Great”; that his Greatness caused People to tremble – Amen!
In Job 42:12-16, the Bible tells us that “God blessed the latter End of Job more than his beginning.”
Ecclesiastes 7;8 says: “Better is the End of a Thing than the beginning thereof:”
Your End would be far, far better than your begining, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!
And because this is the Last Day – And God reserves the Best till the last; I want to share with you a very Great Secret.
… Some of you already know it!
Because the Story of Lazarus; unless you ask God for Revelation is a bit Puzzling.
WHY? – The Bible said: They sent to Jesus, before he died – “Lazarus the Man You love is sick, come and heal him!”
He deliberately delayed; until he died, until he had been buried four (4) days!
What’s going on here? – If You knew You were going to raise him from the dead, why did You allow him to die? And they said he is Your Friend!
I can’t see you all, I would have said: “All those who are friends of Jesus should raise your hands up.”
… And I know all hands would go up!
What is going on here? I sense a Set up!
I sense a Set Up simply because of the words: ‘Your Friend’.
Because the Biggest Miracle Jesus Performed (apart from dying to save our Soul) is this one!
It is this family that got the Biggest of them all!
Jairus’ Daughter just died; He brought her back to life!
But some People even said she wasn’t dead – Anyway, afterall He said the Girl was sleeping!
The issue of the Son of the Widow of Nain, some People said he was in a comma. And as they were talking him to the burial ground, the breeze blew on him.
… And Jesus Christ just came at the appropriate time!
But this one, had been dead and buried four (4) Days!
You see, I relate this Story with the Story of Solomon: The one who gave a Thousand burnt Offerings; so that God had to come and say: Anything you want, Ask?
I have told you the Story before: I wonder where this Boy (I mean, he wasn’t a brilliant Fellow). Because they asked him to ask for something, he asked for Wisdom.
Where did this dullard get the idea of a Thousand burnt Offerings?
And God said – It is a Set Up.
I wanted him to do somethinSetg for Me, he has never done before; so that I can do for him, something I have never done for anyone!
Because when his father gave birth to him, it is written: “I loved him!” That is why I said that they should call his name JEDIDIAH. His father chose SOLOMON – 2 Samuel 12:24-25.
WHAT IS THE SECRET HERE?
Why this Set Up for this family?
Why was this family given the Biggest Miracle of the Earthly Ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ?
I found it in that same John 11:2 – It is that same Mary that broke the Box of Alabaster Oil, and Poured it on the head of the Lord Jesus Christ – Whose Brother was SICK.
… You know the story, in Mark 14:3-5.
That Mary broke an Alabaster Box of Oil – Very Precious Thing she had!
And so God said: I will find a way to Reward you, that the world would know about it.
And it will be in the History Book forever!
The Question is – my Brother, my Sister, my children: WHAT IS YOUR ALABASTER BOX OF OIL?
Do you want the Biggest Miracle of all? – Nothing goes for nothing!
And the more you Love Him, the more you must Prove it to Him – That you love Him.
Let me just tell you one (1) or two (2) Stories (depending on the leading of the Holy Spirit);
I told you once – I had two (2) cars. One was a Lexus Jeep, the other was one of these American Cars.
And I went to hide to Pray for the Congress that was coming.
And suddenly I heard God saying: “Son, give me your two (2) cars.”
I Pretended I didn’t hear. I said: “Which one?”
He said both!
And I tried to quote to Him (laughing).
I tried to quote to the One Who is the Word Himself.
“What You said is that of a Man has two (2) coats, he should give one (1)” (Laughing)!
… And of course, I said: Yes Lord!
And the day that the People He said I should give the Vehicles to; the day they came to collect the Lexus Jeep in Particular, my Driver wept!
Because we have travelled over the Country with that Vehicle and it never gave us a Problem.
But Thank God, that He Set me Up?
And Thank God for what He has done for me today – I give Him all Glory, I give Him all Honour.
… What is your Alabaster Box of oil?
May God give you the Grace to release it to Him – Amen!
ALTAR CALL
