Father, You are Worthy. King of Kings, Lord of Lords, the I am that I am, the Ancient of Days, the God who is rich in Mercy, the King of Glory, the Lord of Host, the One who has never lost a war.

As we continue Oh Lord in our Series my Lord and my Saviour; I Pray for all Your Children who are gathered again to Worship You that the Heavens will open today and we will have real cause to Glorify Your Name.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
When we started this Series: “For Whom the Heavens Open” at the beginning of the New Year; we said that this is because one of the most Significant things that happened to Elisha on the Day that he received the Double Portion of the Spirit of Elijah was that the Heavens opened unto him.
And then, we said that he wasn’t the only one that the Heavens had opened to – Either before and after and so we decided to look at those People for whom the Heavens had opened to in the Past and we said that the Series will Probably take us all the way from Genesis to Revelation.
And so we started with the first Fellow for whom the Heavens opened and that was Noah – We Studied the Life of Noah briefly to see if there is anything in his Life that we can emulate so that the Heavens must opened unto us also.
And after we finished with Noah, we moved on to Study about Abraham.
And now, we want to move on to Moses!
Exodus 3:1-5:
- Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the Priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the Mountain of God, even to Horeb.
- And the Angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
- And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
- And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
- And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is Holy Ground.
The Heavens open unto a Shepherd called Moses and he saw a bush burning with fire but the bush was not consumed!
And there is no doubt in that at least we know something about our God – And one of the things that the Bible says about our God is that He is a Consuming Fire.
And so it means that the Heavens opened, God the Consuming Fire came down to visit a man called Moses!
We want to see what Lessons can we learn from Moses because without any iota of doubt, the Heavens opened to him for the Consuming Fire Himself to descend.
- The first thing that we will want to take Note of is that Heavens can open Unexpectedly.
Moses was not expecting the Fire to burn, he was not expecting God to Pay him a visit, he was not expecting the Consuming Fire to be burning at the backside of the Desert.
… Heaven can open Unexpectedly!
Acts 2: 1-4 made it known unto us that when the Disciples were gathered together in the room where they were Praying. Suddenly, there was a Sound like that of a rushing Mighty Wind and the Holy Spirit came like “Tongues of Fire” that sat on each and everyone of them.
And I’m expecting that in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ; even though some People might not be expecting it; I am expecting that the Heavens will open unto us suddenly today in Jesus Name – Amen!
- The Second thing that we want to learn in this bit of Story in the Life of Moses is that Heavens can open to Somebody anywhere.
I. Here in the case of Moses (Exodus 3: 1-5); the Heavens opened to Moses at the backside of a Desert – He was at work.
He was at the backside of the Desert and not just any Place but in the hidden corner of the Desert and the Heavens opened unto him there.
II, in Genesis 18: 1-14; Abraham was at home, he was sitting infront of his Tent; when the Heavens opened unto him and God Paid him a visit.
So, Heavens can open to you when you are at home!
III. In Acts 9: 1-7; Saul of Tarsus was on his way to Damascus. He was travelling when the Heavens opened unto him.
So, Heavens can open unto you when you are on a Journey back home!
IV. In 1 Samuel 16: 11-13; David was at work, looking after the Sheep of his father in the bush when the Heavens opened unto him.
And the Messenger came to say: Hey come; you are wanted at home. And of course, he didn’t know that his Life will never be the same again after that.
So, Heavens can open to you in the Office where you are busy doing your daily course!
V. And just like I said, in Acts 2: 1-4; Heavens opened to the Apostles in the Upper Room, during a Prayer Meeting.
Heavens can open while the Service is on!
And so before this Service is over, Heavens can open to Somebody. And I Pray thar will be your case – Amen!
VI. Heavens can open during the Day like it happened here to Moses but it can also opened at Night.
Genesis 28: 10-17; Jacob was running away from home after his brother threatened to kill him because he was able to snatch the Blessing that normally should have been given to his brother.
He was running away from home, got tired, lay down on the Journey at Night to sleep and the Heavens opened unto him.
And he had a Dream and saw a Ladder reaching to Heaven – He saw Angels descending and ascending and then he saw the Almighty God at the Top of the Ladder. And the Heavens opened unto him and God spoke to him and God repeated the Blessings of Abraham his father.
When he woke up, he said: Ha, I didn’t even know that I am at the Gateaway to Heaven.
So, whether in the Morning or in the Evening; whether on your way home or here while the Service is on, even when you are on your bed or as you read on the Label of DMC; my Prayer is that before this Day is out; the Heavens will open for you – Amen!
- And then we discovered something about the “Awesome Power” of God displayed when the Heavens opened – We found out that when the Heavens opened unto Moses, an “Ordinary Piece of Dust”, “Small Piece of Land” suddenly became Holy Ground.
“Ordinary Mud” because it came in contact with the God of Heavens, suddenly became Holy Ground.
There was no Temple built there; it wasn’t the Vestry of a Church; it wasn’t the Office of the High Priest – It was an Ordinary Piece of Mud but suddenly it became an Holy Ground because the Heavens opened on that Ground!
And that suddenly brings to our Remembrance what can happen when we (I’m sure that we were made from on Ordinary Dust) all of a sudden the Heavens should open and we have Contact with God:
A. Genesis 2:7 tells us that when God breathes on Ordinary Mud and that Mud will become a Living Soul.
I. The Bible tells us how Mighty the Breadth of God can be.
In Ex8dus 15: 1-10; the Bible tells us that when He breathes on the Red Sea, the Red Sea Parted. When He breathes on water, the water frooze; creating a Part for the children of Israel to Pass through.
How Mighty will it be if God can just breathe on us today? Mighty unexpected Miracles can then happen; ways will begin to open; they will begin to move across Paths that anybody had never crossed before.
B. When God spits on Ordinary Mud, an Ordinary Mud will suddenly become a Miracle Performing Anointed Mud.
I. In John 9: 1-7, the Bible tells us that Jesus Christ saw a Man who was born blind; to Perform a Creative Miracle in his Life, all He had to do is that He spat on the Ground on an Ordinary Mud and suddenly that Mud became Anointed because the Bible says He anointed his eyes with the Mud.
A Great Man of God Schambach by name, who was used by God to Perform Mighty Miracles told us a Story of when they brought a Blind Man to him and as he was about to Pray for the Blind Man, God said: Spit on his eyes. And he says that how can a Man of God begin to spit on People? But God repeated it to him to spit on his eyes.
In obedience to the Almighty God, he spat on the face of the man and suddenly his eyes opened.
DMC NOTES: Robert William “R.W.” Schambach (April 3, 1926 – January 17, 2012) was an American Televangelist, Pastor, Word of Faith Minister of the Word and Author. His Television Program, Power Today, can be seen on the DayStar Christian TV Network as well as over the Internet in Streaming Podcasts.
It depends on who is spitting on you – I’m not asking you to make a Doctrine of that and go about spitting on People. But when the Almighty God spat on the Mud, a Creative Miracle can happen.
I don’t know about you; but if all that I need to do for God to solve all my Problems is for the Almighty God to spit on me. I will say: Father, just go ahead because I know that even the spitting from You can Change my Life Permanently!
II. When God spits to the Mud, when He spits on anything; that thing will become a Miracle Worker!
For Example in 2 Kings 5: 1-14; when the Man of God said to Naaman: Go and wash in Jordan. The moment the Word came out of the mouth of the Man of God, Power to heal went into the River Jordan.
River Jordan had not healed anybody before – It wasn’t a Healing River but the Word of God went ahead to turn that River to something that can remove the Reproach of any Mud that came in Contact with it.
You know the rest of the Story – Naaman argued and said: Jordan, that “Muddy River”; there are better Rivers where I came from. Can’t I go to those ones and wash and be Clean?
But the Word of God has not been spoken to those Rivers – The Word had been spoken to River Jordan!
I’m Praying today that God will speak to your Blood today and that your Blood will begin to Perform Miracles – Amen!
C. When the Almighty God touches:
I. For somebody who is an Ordinary Mud; Incredible things can happen.
Like in Mark 1: 40-45; you remembered the Story of a Leper who came to Him (Jesus Christ), asking Him to heal him – Saying that I know that You can do it but I am not sure that you are willing.
The Bible said that He says that I am willing and He touched him and immediately he was Cleansed.
II. He can restore Life even to a dead Man.
In Luke 7: 11-15; you remembered the Story of the Widow who was going to bury his only son and God touched the coffin.
And immediately, the Resurrection Power of the Lord flowed through that touch to the dead boy who was inside the coffin.
So, when He asked the boy to get up, He didn’t even have to touch the boy – He just siimply touched the Coffin.
There is so much Power in His Touch that even the dead can rise up as a result of it!
I am Praying today that even the Chairs that you are sitting on now will receive a Touch from God and that His Anointing will flow to the Chair to you and then Perform a Mighty Miracle!
I’m sure that you remembered the Story of when I went to the USA and one of my sons that I had known for a long time invited me to his house to come and eat. And I said that I will come because of our Relationship but it is a “Private Lunch” – No noise and he agreed.
And I got there and I found out that there were four (4) Sisters waiting and I was wondering how much food would I eat that you need to bring four (4) People together.
Anyway, I ate and I left. And after I left, the four (4) Sisters sat in turn on the Chair where I sat.
Now, it is not me but the God that I carried that sat with me on that Particular Chair.
And the four (4) Sisters were all barren. A year later, when I was back in that Place; three (3) of them were already carrying their children and the fourth (4th) one was already six (6) Months Pregnant.
I am Praying for you today that the Heavens will open unto you and the Almighty God will touch even the Chair you are sitting on now – Amen!
III. Now, the Almighty God touches 5 loaves of Bread and 2 Fishes in John 6: 5-13.
As He took these 5 loaves of Bread and 2 Fishes in His Hands and gave Thanks; the Bread and Fish began to multiply so rapidly that five thousand (5,000) Men, not counting Women and children were fed and there were still twelve (12) Baskets leftovers.
That tells us that a Touch of the Almighty God can Supply all the Needs of Human Beings!
We are talking of His Contact with the Mud now – He supplied the Needs of the Hungry Muds because we were made of Mud. So much such that there were twelve (12) Baskets leftovers.
I am Praying today that the Almighty God will touch your food at home and that from this moment onwards, you will always have More Than Enough – Amen!
IV. The last Point that I will give you of God touching an Ordinary Mud can be found in Jeremiah 18: 1-4 – In the Story of a Porter who was trying to make a Vessel out of a Particular kind of Mud called Clay.
And as he was making the Vessel, something happened and the Bible says that the Vessel was marred in his hands.
And he said: No Problem, I will make another Vessel as it Pleases me.
What does that tells us? – Just an Ordinary Touch from God of Heavens can rearrange the Destiny of all Human Beings.
Just a Touch from Him (God) and the Destiny that has been marred, a Destiny that has been spoilt, a Destiny that is no longer on Course can be rearranged so that something Glorious will still come out of it.
A. Only God knows how many of us are completely out of Course from where the Almighty God intends us to be.
B. Only God knows how many of us are no longer in anywhere near where God Planned for us to be.
But just a Touch from Him – That Touch that turned Ordinary Mud to Holy Ground can rearrange everything.
And I am Praying that before this Service is over or you finished reading this Message on the Label of DMC; if there is anything that has been wrong with your Destiny, may the Almighty God rearrange it – Amen!
That is why I am rejoicing with those of you who are already children of the Most High God for whom the Heavens will open today that the Almighty God will breathe on you or if He likes He can spit on you or if He likes He can lay His Mighty Hands on you.
I rejoice with you because I believed that today, something Miraculous, something Creative, something you are not even expecting will begin to happen in your Life – Amen.
It is also the reason that I’m calling on those of you who are yet to surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ; don’t miss this opportunity. By staying away from the God of Heavens, you are missing a lot.
Come to Him today, surrender your Life to Him and He can rearrange your Destiny!
ALTAR CALL
So, if you are listening to me now or reading now on the Label of DMC and you have not yet make Contact with the God of Heavens; the Bible says that: Taste and see that the Lord is Good!
So, as many of you that are willing to come and taste this God of Heavens – The God who can come when the Heavens open; bow your Head now, cry to Him and say: I have come to surrender my Life to you, I need Your Help, I want my Destiny rearranged so that I can reach the Goal that you originally Planned for me.
But I surrender to You, I will do Your Will from now on, Please save my Soul.
Cry to Him and ask Him for Salvation. And I will Pray with you now and the Lord will save your Soul and things will Change Permanently in your Life.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER
Ancient of Days, I want to Thank You. I know that You are the Almighty, You can turn Ordinary Mud to Holy Ground and there is Nothing that You cannot do.
I Thank You for Your Words and I Thank You for all those People are now saying: Lord, Please save our Souls.
Please answer their Prayers, let Your Blood wash away their sins, Please bring them into the Family of God, give them a Brand New Beginning.
And whatever has happened to their Destiny that is not allowing them to be on Course; my Father and my God, rearrange it today.
And having saved their Soul today, Lord I’m Praying that You will keep them in Close Contact with You.
As for the rest of us who are Your Children, as well as those who are just joining us now, my Father and my God, I Pray that You will Touch us, You will breathe on us and You will draw us Close to Yourself so that from today onwards; all the Blessings that can happen when the Heavens opened will begin to happen in our lives.
Thank You my Father and my God. For in Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
I rejoice with those of you who has given your Life to Jesus Christ. I want to Promise you that from now on; I will be Praying for you. So, I’m asking that you get in Contact with me as soon as Possible.
I Promise you that if you will send your name, your Address and your Prayer Requests; I will be Praying for you.
And I will advice that you look for the nearest The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) to you – Go the Pastor, tell him that you just give your Life to Jesus Christ and he will tell you what to do next.
God Bless You!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!!!
