We want to continue with our Series – Going Higher and today we will be looking at Part 30: “GOING HIGHER – PART 30”.
Our Bible Text will remain: 1 Kings 18:36.
And it came to Pass at the time of the Offering of the evening Sacrifice, that Elijah the Prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy Servant, and that I have done all these things at thy Word.
Last time we met (29th of August 2021); when we were looking at this Passage; we looked at: “The God of Abraham, The God of Isaac and The God of Jacob”.
DMC NOTES: We can get to see the Full Text of the Part 29 Message of this Series on this Link:
Today, we want to go on to the Next Thing that Elijah said: Let it be known this Day that thou hath God in Israel and that I am thy Servant!
If you want to give a Sub Title to this Talk, you Probably want to say: “GOD PLEASE MANIFEST YOURSELF”.
… Prove Yourself that You are God!
- Elijah was saying in His Prayer: Lord God Almighty Prove Yourself that You are Who You say You are.
I. God of Abraham – Prove like You said in Genesis 17:1 to Abraham.
That you are Jehovah El-Shaddai – The God who is more than enough!
II. Prove Yourself to be the Almighty.
Psalms 91:1 tells us that You are The Most High and You are The Almighty!
Almighty of course means that: There is Nothing You cannot do!
III. Jeremiah 32:27 says: Behold, I am the God of all flesh, is anything too hard for me to do?
… God, Prove today that there is Nothing too hard for You to do!
Which is why I’m Praying for all of you listening to me today (or reading now on the Label of DMC) that, that God who can do anything will Prove Himself in your Life – Amen; And every Impossibilities in your Life will become Possible today – Amen.
IV. Prove Yourself that You are the Maker and Controller of all Things.
A. I mean for example in Genesis 1: 9-10; it is recorded that You made the Sea – You are the Creator of the Sea.
According to Job 38: 8-11 – You are the One who told the Sea: This is how much far you can go and you can’t go further. When you get to the beach, your Proud waves must just recede.
Job 38: 8-11 says:
- Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it.
10 And brake up for it my decreed Place, and set bars and doors.
11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy Proud waves be stayed.
And you Prove that before – In Exodus 14: 21-28; you told your Servant to lift up his hands against the Red Sea and the Red Sea Parted
… You Prove Yourself that You make the Sea and You are the Controller of the Sea!
B. In Genesis 1: 14-18; You created the Sun and the Moon. The Greater Light to rule the Day (That is the Sun); the Lesser Light to rule the Night (That is the Moon).
… You created both!
And You Proved that You are the Controller of both the Sun and the Moon because in Joshua 10: 12-14; when Joshua asked the Sun to stay and the Moon to remain Stationary, You brought it to Pass.
… You have Prove it before that You are the Maker of the Sun, Maker of the Moon and that You are their Controller.
And we know in Isaiah 38: 1-8 that the Almighty God can even ask the the Sun to go backwards (Retrace it’s Steps).
… You are the Almighty, Prove Yourself!
V. And it is interesting that we will never find anywhere in the Bible where it says: God created Fire.
He created Light, He created the Sea, He created Animals, He created Birds, He created Everything – But there is no where that it says that He created Fire.
Why Not? – Because He Himself is Fire!
… You can’t create Yourself.
The Bible tells us in clear terms in Hebrews 12:29 that our God is a Consuming Fire.
And I’m sure that Elijah must be telling God – You are Fire, you have come down before in Exodus 3: 1-6.
When you wanted to speak to Moses, you came down as a Fire, burning in the bush and the bush was not consumed.
You have done it before and You have Proved it again and again that You are the Controller of Fire.
When they threw the Hebrew Slaves into the Fire – Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego; the Fire didn’t burn them.
And so Elijah was saying to God – You don’t Change and You said so Yourself in Exodus 3:14.
You say that you are: I Am that I Am!
Not “I Was”, not “I Will”; but I Am that I Am! – You don’t Change!
And in Leviticus 9: 8-24 – When Aaron Presented an Offering before the Almighty God, He sent down Fire to receive it.
So, Elijah was saying to God: Prove Yourself, do what You have done before – You have sent down Fire before to receive an Offering, do it again
- But then there is something even more serious in his Prayer.
He said: Show this Day (Not Tomorrow) – Prove Yourself today that You are God in Israel.
And I believed that there is quite a lot for us to learn from that little bit of this Prayer
I. U see, some Miracles can wait for one (1) Year.
A. I mean in Genesis 18: 9-14; when God Himself decreed that Sarah will have a son; she had to wait for nine (9) Months before Isaac showed up.
… It was God who made the decree, but the Miracle took nine (9) Months!
B. I mean you have other Examples – 2 Kings 4: 8-17; Elisha with his “Double Anointing” decreed that the Shunamite Woman will have a son and she had to wait for nine (9) Months for the Miracle to come to Pass.
… Some Miracles can wait for a Year!
II. Some Miracles can wait for a Month.
In 1 Samuel 17: 1-16 then continuing to Verse 51 – You will see that Goliath terrorised Israel for forty (40) days before the Miracle came.
… So, some Miracles can wait for a Month.
And I hope Somebody is listening to me very closely (or reading keenly on the Label of DMC) because this is a very, very Crucial aspect of this Message.
III. Some Miracles can wait for a week.
John 11: 1-End – Lazarus was sick, they sent a Message to Jesus Christ: The one You who thou loveth is sick.
He heard the Message, stayed where He was for another two (2) days before He arrived.
By the time He arrived, this Fellow has been dead and buried for four (4) days.
So, the two (2) of waiting Plus four (4) days of burial because it was when he died that Jesus Christ said: Alright now, this Fellow is dead.
You add the days together; then you have six (6) at the least and yet the Miracles came!
… Some Miracles can wait for one (1) week!
IV. Some Miracles can wait for twenty four (24) Hours (1 Day).
In 2 Kings 7: 1-11 – When there was a siege at Samaria and Elisha Prophesied and said that: By thisTime tomorrow (Twenty four (24) Hours from now); there will be Abundance of Food and that Nobody will want to buy because everybody will just go and collect.
… Twenty four (24) Hours later as He Prophesied; it came to Past.
Some Miracles can wait for twenty four (24) Hours.
V. But some Miracles cannot wait – It has to be Now!
Prove Yourself now; that is what Elisha was saying!
I am Standing Alone before these angry crowd – Four Hundred and Fifty (450) Prophets of Baal; ready to take me to Pieces. God You do something Now!
A. When David ran to meet Goliath, if he has missed that first Stone; if that first Stone had missed the mark; we won’t be telling the Story that we are telling now.
B. In Matthew Chapter 14; when Peter was walking on water to go and meet the Lord Jesus Christ. And then he began to sink.
And he cried to God and said: Help!
Well, if Jesus Christ said: Don’t worry, your Miracle can come tomorrow; the Story we are talking now will be different.
C. When Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego; landed in the fiery Furnace.
If God was not there already instantly to take care of their situations; the Story will be different.
D. In Mark 10: 46-52 – When Jesus Christ was Passing by and Baetimeaus began to cry for Help. The reason he (Blind Man) didn’t keep quiet; he knew that it is either now or never.
So, I’m asking Somebody this Sunday (or as you read on the Label of DMC): When do you want your Miracles? – NOW!
Because you could wait till Next Year – God will still be on the Throne; you can wait for a Month – He is still a Miracle Working God; you can even wait till Next Sunday – Miracles can come after one (1) week.
But some Miracles must happen Immediately!
… Prove Yourself now.
When it is time to Pray, that should be your Prayer today – Lord, I know that You are the Controller of Times and Seasons; I know that with You, all Things are Possible but this very day, you must answer me Now – Amen!
E. That is why when in Genesis Chapter 32 – When all of a sudden an Angel met Jacob and started wrestling with him and the Angel said: Let me go because the Sun is breaking.
He said: If the Sun will break, let it break because if you don’t answer me now; by tomorrow I will be dead.
… Some Miracles can’t wait!
I Pray for everyone of you listening to me today (or reading now on the Label of DMC); that God will give you the Grace to hold tight to God in Prayer until He answers you today!
… Prove Yourself Lord this Day – That is what Elijah said!
If the Fire did not fall that moment, that would have been the End of the Story of Elijah!
- And then, he went on to say: Prove to these People that I am Your Servant.
… Give me Your Backing; that is what he is saying.
You know that many of us are serving God in Spirit; we are serving Him in Truth. There is Nothing wrong in asking the Almighty God to Prove to the world that I am sincerely Serving You!
Prove to those who are asking: Where is my God – Show them that You are Right behind me; give me Your Backing!
I. Elijah was saying: Give me Your Backing like You gave to Moses – Exodus 3: 7-12.
When you sent Moses to go and bring the Children of Israel out of Egypt – Almighty God, you told him: I will be with you.
… And you were with him (Moses)!
II. Prove Yourself; give me Your Backing the way You gave it to Joshua in Joshua 1: 1-8.
You told Joshua that: As I was with Moses, so will I be with you.
Now, you were with Moses, You were with Joshua; be with me – Prove Yourself and give Your Backing.
Let these People know that everything I’m doing is for Your Glory.
In Isaiah 61: 1-3 – It is written that: You will give me Beauty for ashes.
It is so that You might be Glorified!
Lord, why am I asking You to Prove Yourself in my Life today? – It is so that You (God) might be Glorified and not because of me!
Elijah is saying that: Lord God Almighty, the reason we are having all these Competition is because of You!
I want you to Pray today like you have never Prayed before – Tell the Almighty God that I am Nothing – If I am Put to Shame, that is Nothing. But You cannot afford to be Put to Shame as You are the Almighty and the whole world knows that I am called by Your Name.
… Prove Yourself so that You can be Glorified!
I have a “Deep Feelings” within me that if you really call on Him today; He will answer you – Amen!
ALTAR CALL
But you can’t ask Him to Prove Himself if you don’t belong to Him.
You cannot ask Him to come and Prove Himself when you belong to the Other Camp.
He can only Prove Himself on behalf of those who are His Children.
That is why if that is the only reason you must give your Life to Jesus Christ; Please do so now – It is only when you belong to Him that you can call upon Him to Prove Himself.
So, let’s bow our heads – If you anywhere listening to me (or reading now on the Label of DMC) and you want to be able to say to God that before the Sun Sets today; I want a Testimony, then Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ now!
Let Us Pray?
Call on Him if you are giving your Life to Him to Please have Mercy on you, to forgive your sins, to save your Souls, to become your Lord, your Saviour, to receive you into His Family so that whatever concerns you from now on will concern Him because you are now His Child.
… Call on Him to save your Soul – He is willing to do so if you sincerely want to say bye bye to a Life of sin.
Call on Him now for a moment or two and I will Pray for your Salvation.
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 – Thank You for Your Words and Thank You for all those who has made up their Minds that from this moment onwards, they want to belong to You – Body, Soul and Spirit.
Remember Your Promise Lord: That whosoever will come unto You, You will no wise cast out.
Please Lord, receive these People, save their Souls, forgive all their sins, let Your Blood wash away their sins, receive them into the Family of God and from now on, anytime they call on You, Please answer them by Fire.
Daddy, I’m Praying on behalf of all Your Children all over the world – Particularly those of us who are in Need of Your Help urgently; Oh Father answer us today, give us our Miracles today and not tomorrow!
Before the Sun sets today; give us our Miracles and we will Glorify Your Name Lord.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
And so, those of you who has given your Life to Jesus Christ; I Congratulate you!
I want to assure you that from now on, I will be Praying for you.
That is why I will need your names, your Address and your Prayer Request so that I will be Praying for you.
And I will advice that you locate the nearest Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) to you and tell the Pastor there that I sent you and that you want to know what to do Next.
… And they will tell you!
GOD BLESS YOU – AMEN!!!
