Our Father and our God, the Father of all fathers, the Lord of Host, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the One who has never lost a war – We are Proud of you daddy, we are Proud to be Your Children.
We know Lord God Almighty, that with You on our Side, we are More Than a Conqueror. We give You Glory Lord; accept our Worship in Jesus Name.

And before this Service is over, my Father and my God, banish the Spirit of Fear completely in the Life of that Individual in Jesus Name.
Thank You my Lord and my Saviour.
For in Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
We are continuing with our Study on “Going Higher” and we are now in Part 56.
Our Bible Text is still 1 Kings 19: 13-14
- And it was so, when Elijah heard it that he wrapped his face in his Mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a Voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
- And he said, I have been very Jealous for the LORD God of Hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy Covenant, thrown down thine Altars, and slain thy Prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my Life, to take it away.
… Elijah said that: I’m in danger of my Life even as I’m talking to You Lord. I am a Fugitive, running from those who are eagerly seeking to destroy me.
As you “Go Higher” in the Lord, you need to be Prepared for enemies!
If you have no enemies, it can only mean that you are Nothing.
If you are still in the Captivity of satan, there is likely not be much Persecution. But when your Anointing begin to grow, when the Almighty God begin to use you for His Glory, Oh you will attract the attention of Hell and the Agents of Hell – People will attack you for no just cause.
The attacks might get so severe that your Faith might be shaken!
Here (In the Bible Text); Elijah spoke with Fear – And I believed that God is specifically sending me to Someone today who is a “True Child” of the Living God; doing his/her best for God who is afraid.
And God is asking me to tell you – “Fear Not”; “Don’t be afraid”,
If you Study your Bible very well; you will discovered that “Fear Not” or “Don’t be afraid” is repeated three hundred and sixty five (365) times in the Bible.
And what does that tell you – There is one “Fear Not” for every day of the Year. So January 1st, “Fear Not”; January 2nd, “Fear Not”; May 30th, “Fear Not”; December 24th, “Fear Not”.
… There is a “Fear Not” for every day of the Year!
Lamentation 3: 22-23 says: It is of the Mercy of the Lord that we are not consumed and it is renewed every Morning.
Every Morning, God keeps saying to you: Hey, the Mercy that kept you alive till today is still there. I am a Faithful God. It says: Great is His Faithfulness.
In Isaiah 41: 10-14; three (3) times in very few Verses; God said: “Fear Not”.
And if God asked you to “Fear Not”; then why should you Fear – Relax my Brother, relax my Sister; God says: “Fear Not”.
“Fear Not” why?
I. You dad owns the Earth – Psalms 24:1, the Bible says: The Earth is the Lord and the Fullness thereof.
II. Isaiah 66:1 – When I was Preaching in one Place not too long ago using this same Passage; I said that when God is seated, He is in Control because Heaven is His Throne, the Earth His Footstool.
He is in absolute Control of everything in Heaven to the Earth. Whatever is going on, on Earth is under His Feet – When He is seated, He is in Control.
What happens when He rises? – Psalms 68: 1-3 says that when He rises, His enemies scatter.
… And God is going to arise for Someone today – Amen.
If you are the one God sent me to – “Fear Not”; God is in Control. Everything that is going on in this world is under His Feet.
Oh Pastor, you don’t know how many enemies I have.
According to Acts 9: 1-6; your enemies are His (That is God) enemies.
… That should make you happy!
Because when He knocked down Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus and Saul said who is that talking to me? – He said that I am Jesus Christ that you are Persecuting.
He was seated in Heaven on the Right Hand Side of His Father and Saul was Persecuting Christians. But He said: Hey, it is me that you are Persecuting.
… Relax, your enemies are His enemies!
And according to 1 Peter 5:8; the Bible tells us that: Yes, there is an enemy like a roaring Lion and he is walking about seeking who he may devour.
But when you read 2 Chronicles 16:9; the Bible says that the eyes of the Lord run to and fro.
We used to joke about it when we were Younger Christians that the enemy is walking but the eyes of my Father is running – Somebody will arrive before the other.
… His eyes are running to and fro the whole world. So, don’t worry!
And do you know what? – Even the devil can’t touch you without God’s Permission. And the devil is the Master and Biggest of all the demons.
So, if the one Pursuing you have to be Witch or Wizard, that is still a small fry; the biggy is the devil. And he can’t touch you without God’s Permission.
You don’t believed me; read Job 1: 6-12 and Job 2: 1-6 – In both cases, the devil sought Permission before he could do anything to Job at all.
And God says: Thus far you can go and you can’t go further.
You want Permission to check out my Servant, to see whether he will deny me or not; Fine, Permission granted. You will discovered that at the end, my Servant will Stand Strong.
Now, Job was a Servant and so he could be used for an Examination. You are not just a Servant, you are a Child of God – Nobody Performs an Experiment with his Child.
I recalled that when they said that they discovered a Vaccine for coronavirus; they tested it on a Woman who was already over a hundred (100) years old.
I laughed when I heard – So that if the thing fails and the Old Woman dies, they will say that you are already over a hundred (100) years old.
Have you ever heard of a Scientist who tested a Vaccine on his son?
The Bible made it abundantly clear – God does not joke with His Children.
You want Prove – Exodus 4: 21-23; God said to Pharaoh: Let my son go because the Fellow you are holding is my son. If you don’t let my son go, I will kill your firstborn.
In Zechariah 2:8; the Bible says that you are the Apple of His eyes.
… Anyone who touches you, touches the Apples of His eyes – It is written.
When you see a Man in a very serious Meeting where everybody must be at attention and suddenly he sees a fly flying towards his eyes – Attention or no attention, he is going to deal with the fly.
You are the Apples of God’s eyes – Anyone who touches you, touches the Apple of His eyes – That is what is written. Relax Brother/Sister.
Oh, you don’t know the Great Danger I am in Pastor! – Yes I don’t know but God does.
Remember that He knows everything about you from the beginning to the end – He has an Appointed Time for you to die – Hebrews 9:27. You will not die until the Appointed Time.
When the Appointed Time comes, that is a different matter.
But you know what? – He can even Postpone the day of your death.
That is what the Bible says in Proverbs 3:16 – He can lengthened your day here on Earth.
I mean for Example in Isaiah 38: 1-5; He (God) was the One that sent Hezekiah – He said: Hey, you have been a Good Boy. I will like to give you an Advance Notice that you are about to die and so put your house in order.
Hezekiah said: But Lord, I don’t want to go yet. You know how well I have behaved.
God said that is true; you have done well. Prophet, go back and tell him that I give him extra fifteen (15) years.
Do you know what? – It is clearly stated in the Word of God that you can Negotiate the day of your death with God.
I. Paul said so.
He (Paul) said that he found himself in a strait between two things either to depart which is better but to stay a little longer. He said however that because of you Christians, he will stay a little longer.
DMC NOTES: The above Account can be found in Philippians 1:23-24:
- For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
- Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
II. Peter said that I will soon be going because the Lord has told me that I will soon be going.
DMC NOTES: The above Account can be found in 2 Peter 1: 14-15:
- Knowing that shortly I must put off this my Tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed me.
- Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in Remembrance
Has God told you that you are about to go (die)? – Then why are you afraid?
And in any case, if He says that you are about to go; you can Negotiate and tell Him that if you don’t mind, I will stay a little longer here!
So, no enemy can kill you before your Time.
Isaiah 91: 14-16, the Bible says that: With Long Life will I satisfy you.
He said that I will keep you here until you are satisfied; until you say that I want to go now.
I mean that you know the Testimony of one of our Late Papa – The one who came to me that he was approaching the age of eighty eight (88) years old and said: Sir, some forty (40) years ago, I met a Prophet who told me everything that will ever happen to me in Full Details. But he told me that at such and such a time; I will die.
And I laughed.
He said that I have come to this Holy Land (Redemption Camp and I have a Flat there) so that when it is time to die; I will die here. He said that it is about two (2) weeks to go.
I said: Papa, you have just given your Life to Jesus Christ and he said Yes. Are you ready to serve God now? – He said yes, with everything in him.
I said that are you ready to die? – He said not exactly but the Prophet said … I said forget the Prophet. I said that you will live and not die.
Whoever God sent me to this day; I hope that you are listening to me or reading now on the Label of DMC – You are going to live and not die (Amen).
Papa lived on this Redemption Camp for another twelve (12) years.
When he was almost one hundred (100) years old, he sent a Messenger to me – Tell Papa, I want to go home now!
… He spent another twelve (12) years – Attended Bible College and was always the first to get to the Morning Prayer.
No enemy can kill you until God is ready to take you home – So, stop being afraid. The Lord will fight for you!
He didn’t say that there won’t be enemies – In Isaiah 54: 15-17; He said that the Wicked gathered together against you but they will fall for your sake – That is what He said!
He said that no Weapon formed against you will Prosper – That is God speaking, that is your dad speaking.
… Forever Oh Lord, thy Word is Settled!
And if God is for you, who can be against you? – Romans 8:31 says so.
And Romans 8:37 says: You are More Than a Conqueror through Him who loves you.
So, whoever you are because I am convinced beyond all doubts – This Particular Sermon is for Someone who is afraid – Relax!
Psalms 46:10 says: Be Still and know that I am God.
You know that He made a Promise in Isaiah 46: 3-4 – He said: I’m the One who has been carrying you from your mother’s womb. He said that even to Old Age, I am He.
I am the One who made you and I’m the One who will carry you – That is what God said.
Isaiah 46: 3-4
- Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
- 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.
And so all you have to do now is to Play your own Part!
You said: What is my Part? – Your Part is to live by Faith and not to Fear.
You know that God is not a Talkative – And four (4) times, He said: The Just shall live by Faith (Habbakuk 2:14; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11 and Hebrews 10:38.
Remember that Hebrews 11:6 says that: Withiut Faith, it is impossible to Please God.
… And Fear is the Opposite of Faith.
And so, you don’t want to annoy God by continuing to be afraid – If He says “Fear Not”; then “Fear Not”.
So in Conclusion – Those of you who think (Not Children of God) that I have enemies, I can take care of myself; Oh, that is a dangerous way of thinking.
You see – Proverbs 21:13 makes it clear: Horses are Prepared for the day of battle but Safety is of the Lord,
All those Charms that you think can Protect you from all the enemies; Oh who made the Charm for you? How do you know if the one who made the Charm for you is not in the same Secret Society as the one who wants to kill you? How do you know that they are not working together?
But they can’t compromise Jesus Christ, they can’t compromise God.
… Safety is of the Lord!
ALTAR CALL
So, run to Him (God) now – Give your Life to Him (God); become one of His Children and I can guarantee you that from now on, you have nothing to Fear because He will take care of His Own.
So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, wherever you are; will you Please bow your head now and say: Lord, I’m running into You for Safety, for Security, for Protection – Save my Soul and I will serve You forever.
And I will Pray with you even as you now bow your heads in Prayer.
