We are continuing with our Series on “Going Higher”, now we are looking at Part 73 – “GOING HIGHER – PART 73.
We will be Digging Deep into the Passage that we read Last Week – 1 Kings 21: 16-24. So that we might be able to know what happened then, we will read through very quickly:
1 Kings 21: 16-24
- And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the Vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take Possession of it.
- And the Word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
- Arise, go down to meet Ahab King of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the Vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to Possess it.
- And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken Possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the Place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
- And Ahab said to Elijah, hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee; because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
- Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy Posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
- And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the Provocation wherewith thou hast Provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
- And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
- Him that dieth of Ahab in the City the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
We learnt Last Week that:
I. Whatever might be the Price that they offered you, don’t sell your Salvation – We warned you Strongly not to sell your Salvation.
II. We said that even if it is going to mean Paying “The Ultimate Price” because Naboth died for refusing to see the Vineyard that has been in his family for a long time – Whatever may be the Cost, don’t sell your Salvation.
III. And then we told you that the Triumph of the enemies is only flattened – Those who think that they have Succeeded in their evil Imaginations, they don’t know what is coming.
IV. And we rounded up by giving you Example that says that there is a Punishment that is worst than death.
You may find that one difficult to believe!
But if you read Revelation 9:6; the Bible tells us that a time is coming when Men will be seeking for death and death will be running away from them.
That can be a very terrible situation – When a Man is telling God: Why don’t you let me just die and God will said: No, you need to taste a .little bit more of Hell here before you go to the Final one.
So, if you ever think of doing evil; just remember that there are a lot of People who are walking about as if they are alive but they are dead – A lot of “Living Dead” People around!
So, don’t be afraid as the Lord Himself said of those who can kill the body but they can’t kill the Soul.
You should only be afraid of the One who can kill the body and still throw the Soul into Hell.
DMC NOTES: You can get to read the Previous Week Message (18th September 2022) on Going Higher – Part 72 on this Link:
Now, the Punishment that God had Prophesised against Ahab and Jezebel shall tell you one thing Man of God/Woman of God – “Don’t mess with God!
I have said it before and I’m saying it again – Yes, God is Love, no doubt that. He so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son as a Sacrifice (John 3:16). But if you could just believed, you could have Everlasting Life.
Now, that is a tremendous amount of Love that God has for you – He sacrificed His Son so that you can be saved.
But never forget that God is not a “Father Christmas” – He is Love but He is also “The Consuming Fire”.
Hebrews 12:29 made that one Clear – Our God is a Consuming Fire. Don’t toil with God.
Another Lesson that you must never forget as you are “Going Higher” in the Lord is that – There is the “Law of Harvest”.
The Law of Harvest is so Powerful as Probably you have heard me say before that God Himself applied that Law to Himself.
He has Only One Begotten Son, He wanted to have many sons and so He sowed the Only One Son so that, that One can become “The First Born” of many Brethrens. That is what the Bible says.
Without any doubt; Harvest Time will always come!
In everything that you do – Man of God/Woman of God; don’t forget that Harvest Time will come!
For King Ahab, Harvesr Time has been Prophesied. For Queen Jezebel, a Powerful Representative of the devil; Harvest is on the way!
Galatians 6:7 tells us that: Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; whatsoever a Man sows, that is what that Man will reap.
Because you are bound to ask like I did when I first got Born Again and I read this Passage – Almighty God, what were You doing when they were killing Naboth? Because I know that You have all the Powers in Heaven – You can Thunder from Heaven and wipe out all those who conspired against this boy.
And as we will learn before today is over that God knows what He is doing.
Whatever you sow, that is what you will reap!
Yes, they killed Naboth; yes the dogs licked his blood – And God is saying now: The Harvest is always Propprtional to the Seed sown!
You think that you are a King and you are beyond the reach of God; just remember that Harvest is coming.
You are a Queen, you believed that you are above the Law; you can’t be above the Law of Harvest.
Hosea 8:7 made it clear – The Harvest is always much more than the Seed sown. They have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
Take Note – It is “Wind” and “Wind” but one is “Ordinary Wind” and the other is “Whirlwind”.
If you have ever seen a “Tornado” in action, you will know what a Whirlwind can do – A Whirlwind can uproot houses, take a car and flung it away.
DMC NOTES: A Tornado is a violently rotating Column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a Cumulonimbus Cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a Cumulus Cloud.
You sow the “Wind”, then get ready for the “Whirlwind”!
God wants us to know – Everyone “Going Higher” in Him that Tolerance does not necessarily mean Approval or Acceptance!
Maybe you should read Matthew 13: 24-30. You know the Story – The Parable of the Lord Jesus Christ.
A Good Man sow Good Seeds in his field, then he went to Sleep. And while Men slept, the enemy came and sow tares into the field. By daytime, the tares and the Wheat has spring up together.
And the Servant of the Master came to him – Sir, you Planted Good Seeds, we see some tares there. Oh he said an enemy has done this.
Okay sir, shall we go and remove the tares now?
He said: Ha, wait; in the Process of uprooting the tares, you might uproot the Wheat also.
You have seen the Wicked Prosper in your Nation and you begin to wonder – Where is God in all of these? He is still in Heaven, He is not Sleeping; He is watching and be sure of one thing: Harvest Time will come!
If we consider some of the Wickedness going on in some Nations of the world – Persecution of the Children of the Most High God; occasionally you might be tempted: Where is God in all of these? God is alive, He is well, He is on His Throne and never you forget that He is Wiser than you. He knows when to act, He knows when his Actions will have Maximum Effects. He can see the Wicked “Going Highet”, Prospering like never before.
But I think I have shared with you an African Proverb that says: If I an Ant falls, Nobody Pays attention; if a Cockroach falls, the Earth doesn’t tremble but when an Elephant falls, now they feel the tremor not only in the bush but in the Hut.
Occasionally, God allows the Evil one to grow, to become “So-Called Mighty” so that when they crash; the world will Pay attention!
… Leave them alone – Let them grow up together. The owner of the farm said.
If you are doing evil and God has left you alone, and you are not feeling any Punishment yet, be careful.
Remember Hosea 4:17 says: Ephraim has joined himself to idols, leave him alone.
When God leaves Somebody alone, it is because He knows what is coming!
Because following Hosea 4:17 is Hosea 5:9. It says: Ephraim shall be Desolate.
To be Desolate means that there is Nothing left at all.
Child of God, as you are “Going Higher” in the Lord, check from time to time:
I. Is God still with me or is He merely Tolerating me?
II. Has He left me to my own Devices?
III. Is He quietly watching in Heaven and no longer bothering about me?
IV. Could it be that my Faith is already Sealed?
I’m sure that when you read Judges 16: 1-end – You will noticed Particularly from Verses 1 to 3 that when Samson (A Divine Champion) went into the house of an harlot and the People in the town shut the gates against him saying that we will catch him when the Morning appears.
Do you know that even at the house of a harlot, the Strength of God still came upon Samson – He still uprooted the gate of a Whole City?
Are we saying then that God approves of sin? – No!
And after that one, he then moved on to Delilah. And this boy began to talk, began to tell this Fellow who had said openly: Tell me the Secret of your Strength; tell me how you can be tortured; tell me how you can be like an “Ordinary Man”.
And he began to talk – Getting closer and closer and closer to the Forbidden Statement. Bind me with rope, and then steadily weave my hair. And God kept quiet, sitting down in Heaven.
Never forget that what you called the Foolishness of God is Wiser than the Wisdom of Men!
Until finally, he said: Cut off my hair.
The Bible says that when the destruction of the Wicked will come, it will come suddenly.
Proverbs 29:1 says: He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
For how long has God being Whispering to you: Child of God; that what you are doing is wrong.
Oh, my Anointing is still there – I’m still Performing Miracles, I’m still Performing Wonders. Could it be that God has already said: Leave him alone; there is no Hope for this one anymore.
I have told you before – Long after Power failed, the water in the Fridge will still be cold; long after Power has failed, the fan will still be rotating. But very soon, we will know whether the Power is still there or gone.
Now, the important thing that you need to know more than anything else Brother/Sister; is that Harvest may come sooner than later.
Revelation 22: 10-12; the Lord said: You want to be Wicked? Okay continue. You want to keep on indulging in sin because you have not been caught yet? No Problem, keep going. You want to live Holy, you want to be Righteous? Fine, keep going.
He said: I come quickly.
God does not waste words. If He says: I come quickly, He means that I come quickly. And my Reward is with me as His Works shall be.
Don’t be deceived by those who tell you that once you are Born Again, you can live any kind of Life and you will still make it to Heaven (DMC NOTES: Nicholatian’s Doctrine)
Alright, just remember that Harvest Time is coming and it may come sooner than you know or you expect.
There is None of us alive today who can swear that we will still be alive by this time Next Week – None of us!
And even if we are still alive – Pray that God will spare our lives that we will live Long and none of us will die before our time. What if the Rapture takes Place before tomorrow Morning?
Let me assure you – Those of you who are determined in “Going Higher”; Jesus Christ is coming back only for a Church without Spot, without Wrinkle, without Blemish. That is the Word of God!
In Conclusion:
Psalms 34:19 tells us – Those of you who are determined to do the Will of God and who may suffer for doing so; the Bible says that many are the afflictions of the Righteous but the Lord delivered him from them all.
In John 16:33; Jesus Christ said it clearly: In this world, you will have Tribulations (You can’t live Godly without having Tribulations). But He said but be of Good Cheers for I have overcome the world.
As for those of you who are doing Wicked and you don’t seems to be suffering any repercussions now; hey it might be a Good Thing if you read Proverbs 16:4 – God has made all things for Himself, even the Wicked for the day of evil.
Somebody has to be as an Example for Others to follow – Will you be used as a Good Example of Someone who remained Faithful to the Almighty God, who will Harvest Goodness, Mercy and Glory.
Or will you be used as an Example of those who think that they can toil with the Consuming Fire? So that when God shows up with the Harvest, the world will say: God we fear You.
The Choice is yours my Brother/Sister!
Those of us who are “Going Higher”; the Almighty God will keep on taking us Higher and Deeper in the Truth of the Word of God.
And those of us who are yet to know Him; I appeal to you today – Please, surrender your Life to Jesus Christ before it is “Too Late” – Our God is the Consumimg Fire. But if you are on His Side, He will be the “God of Love”
ALTAR CALL
So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ; will you bow your head wherever you are now or reading now on the Label of DMC.
And call on Him and said: Almighty God, Thank You for Showing me that even as You are Love, You are also the Consuming Fire.
I want Your Love, I won’t toil with Your Anger. Please, save my Soul, let Your Blood wash away my sins and I will serve You wholeheartedly for the rest of my Life.
Pray that Prayer now and I will Pray for your Salvation.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER
Thank You my Father and my God – King of Kings and the Lord of Lords; the Ancient of Days.
I want to Thank You once again for Your Words, I want to Thank You for taking us Deeper into Your Truth so that we can move Higher and Closer to You.
And I want to Thank You especially for those who are surrendering their lives to You now. Father, Please receive them, save their Souls; let Your Blood wash away their sins and let them become “True Children” of the Living God. Please Lord, make their Salvation Genuine so that they can live in Your Righteousness for the rest of their lives.
And Please Lord, I Pray that if there are Backsliders among Your Children – Who having heard these Words want to return to You. Please, receive them back Oh Lord.
And those of us who are Standing by Your Grace; I Pray that we will Stand forever. Thank You Almighty.
I Pray that when it is Harvest Time, it will be Time of Joy for us.
