SOLO SONG MINISTRATION 1
Declare your Vision, hold it with Passion
And set it work in Motion
Keep the Right Direction till you make Possession
These are the Keys to Revolution.
CHIORUS:
You have got the Power
To keep rising Higher
Steer Up the Fire
You are for Signs and Wonders
You have got the Power
To keep rising Higher
Steer Up the Fire
You are for Signs and Wonders
Set your Mind on what you find
You are Greater than you see
Set God Image deep inside you
You will be what you should be.
CHORUS:
Then this Second Song that I want to Play is because I have at least three (3) Revelations.
I have never been affected by a Message the way this Message affects me – So, I decided to sing this Song.
There may be one (1) or two (2) of us here or reading now on the Label of DMC that you may need to really watch it and make sure that you really make it.
SOLO SONG MINISTRATION 2
He that thinks he Stands should take heeds less he falls
For there is no Man that Stands beyond a fall
For beside every Hill, there is a Valley
Standing at the Peak
Beware less you fall
Keep Praying and Watching
Less Temptation Overtake you
In all that you do
Do not give the devil a Chance
He that thinks he Stands should take heeds less he falls
He that thinks he Stands should take heeds less he falls
He that thinks he Stands should take heeds less he falls
OPENING PRAYER
Father, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We want to Thank You sincerely for Your Love, for Your Kindness and for Your Power.
Besides You, there is no other God – You alone is the God and the Lord.
You are the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords and God of gods.
Help me and help everyone of us in this Short Time.
Grant us that which would open our Hearts to You and that which will help us to Step into the Responsibilities that You have given us.
Just Glodify Yourself in our lives.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
My Bible Text is in Philippians 2:10:
That at the Name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of things in Heaven and things on Earth and things under the Earth.
… That at the Name of Jesus, every knew should bow.
I want to make this Message as Simple as Possible because there are so many Complications as I was Preparing for it.
So, I asked God for a very Simple way to relate what comes to my Heart!
So, I am going to:
I. Talk about what is really involved.
II. Then I am going to talk about the Practical Perspectives.
III. And then who has the “Final Say”.
“Every knee must bow” – That is what we are talking about!
At the very beginning – If you really wants to go backwards.
Infact by the time that I asked the Lord and say: “Lord, take me backwards – I want to see what happened even before Creation”.
I became so scared that I said that it is okay.
Think backwards and then think about those times God started creating those things like the Lucifer and Co.
At that time, it wasn’t every knee must bow because every knee bowed before God – Everything that God created was Good.
It is like – I was in Someone’s house and the Person just lifted her voice and called one name and say: What is the Temperature like Today?
And one Machine answered.
It was made by Man – And it was made for the Pleasure of Man,
So, there is one Verse that gave me the Picture of how everything was at the beginning when everything bowed!
… Every knee without Exception.
And that Song, I will take it as a Chorus that we normally sing so that we can remember it:
SONG
Thou art Worthy Oh Lord
To receive Glory, Honour and Power
For thou hath Created all things and for the Pleasure
They are and well Created.
God Created everything apart from the God-Head
And everything was Created for the Pleasure of God – To make God happy.
You wouldn’t buy a car for the Pleasure of the car – You buy a car for your own Pleasure.
You put on your Electricity or Air Conditioner for your own Pleasure.
Everything that was Created was created for God’s Own Pleasure – Including yourself and myself.
… God Created us to make Himself happy.
And what is it that gives God Happiness?
If you look at that Revelation 4:11 that we just sang as Song; it gives us an idea – It says: God thou art Worthy:
- To receive Glory.
When you see the “Real Glory”; it is very scary – It shows you your own Empitiness and that you are Nothing.
Maybe some of us have never encountered the Glory of God before.
I remembered when I was a Student some little over 50 years ago.
I was on Campus and I was lying on my bed. And then, I put my Bible on my Stomach and I was looking up,
And then I said: “Oh God, show me Your Glory”.
And something happened – The roof of the Hostel disappeared and I saw the Sky.
I was wondering and I say: “What is going on here?”
Suddenly, the Sky started coming down – I screamed and I ran out of the room.
One of my Roommates that was in the room said: Charles, what is that?
I didn’t answer him – I ran out and said, let me go and see whether there are Human Beings.
That was just the Sky – Not even the reality of the Fullness of the Glory of God.
… God Created you and I for His Glory.
May God show us His Glory in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ – Amen!
When you behold the Glory of God, you cannot be the same again!
That is why the Bible says that: He helps us and He takes us from Glory to Glory.
Because everytime that we behold His Image, we are Changed into the Glory that is made manifest in His Image.
And it is from Glory to Glory – It is as we behold His Image, then we behold His Glory,
And any Glory that you behold, determines the Glory that you experience.
God wants to give Himself Pleasure and He wants to make Himself happy; that is why He Created you and I.
… Everything that God Created was for His Own Personal Happiness – “For thy Pleasure, they are and well Created”.
- And God wants Honour.
Honour is when you are identifying Personally with Somebody’s Greatness.
Like you Honour your Parents – You identify with the fact that they are Greater than you and they gave birth to you.
It doesn’t matter whether you become the President of Nigeria or not; your father and mother are still your Parents – And you will still give Honour to them.
And the Bible says that you should give Honour to whom Honour is due (DMC NOTES: Romans 13:7).
One of the ways to give Pleasure to God is to give Him Honour.
- Then ascribe Power to God.
Appreciate Results and appreciate the Great Things done by the Almighty God.
So at the very beginning, all Creatures gave Glory to God, they gave Honour to God and ascribe Power to God.
Infact I asked my wife the Question – I said that from where did sin entered the Heart of Satan?
Because there are so many things that I don’t understand:
☆ I don’t know where sin came from?
☆ I don’t know how Somebody that is being exposed to such Glory, Honour and Power that belongs to God will allow sin?
Of course, when you looked at it – Sin says that this thing that I am watching; this Glory, Honour and Power that I am seeing; I also want to enjoy Part of it.
Is that not often the beginning of our Problems?
For many of us, that is the beginning of our Problems – I want to enjoy a little bit of it, and I want this Glory, Honour and Power.
And that was the beginning of the end of the devil.
Making that Statement alone shows that he said that my knee shall no longer bow – I want knees to bow to me and I don’t want to bow to anybody or Being.
But God from Eternity, wants every knee bowed.
Before God, every knees must bow without Exception – Either you do it Willingly or you do it by Force; every knee must bow.
And the devil felt – Well, I also want a bit of this Glory, Honour and Power
Well, you are Theologians – You will know the Percentage of Angels that he deceived.
All those ones as far as I am concerned, was not as important as the fact that there was a Rebellion.
And then, God made Man in His Own Image!
… That Strucked me Specially.
After His Likeness, God made us like Him.
And the devil as if to say: What! This thing made from sand comimg to compete with me?
Not just to compete with me but to rule over me?
I will stop it.
And of course, you know the Garden of Eden and so on – How Man fell.
And then God in His usual way had an Eternal Plan – Before that Rebellion, God had Planned a Solution.
… Because that is God for you.
When God says that every knee must bow, He means what He says and that is what must happen.
And what He thought of confused me a bit – It was exciting and baffled me.
That the Word which was with God, the Word which was God had to become Man.
And come and Pay the Price so that God will bring back into Power what He has said – A Group of People who will now said: Lord we bow our knees.
And therefore following the Lord Jesus Christ, we became Agents that enforce that knees must bow.
So, the Lord Jesus came – And asked. He came as we saw in Philippians 2:10.
He Paid a Price in Verse 5 (Philippians 2:5) – He took upon Himself as a Servant after dropping His form as God.
And then He suffered – He did not die just the Ordinary Death but the Death of a Criminal.
He shed His Blood for us so that God could forgive us.
He Cleanses us from our sins.
And then He Mobilise us into His Army.
The Lord Jesus Christ made a Declaration – He said that the Son of Man was Manifested to destroy the works of the devil:
Everything that will say that the Glory of God must not go fully to Him or His Honour will not go fully to Him.
And everything in any way without Exception that will say: Your Glory, Honour and Power we will share or take a bit of it.
Jesus Christ came to destroy it because that is the work of the devil.
All the attacks on our families, Health, and Ministries are Satanic – They are all supposed to say that God must not be Glorified, and Honoured as Lord as He claimed to be.
But Jesus Christ says that I have come to destroy the works of the devil without Exception.
And then He now said again in John 14:12 – He said: Verily, Verily I say unto you, the works that I do shall ye do also.
But before He said that – He said: He that believeth on me, the works that I do.
What works? The works of the destruction of the works of the devil.
… There are works that destroys the works of the devil.
The works that I do shall ye do and Greater Works than this shall ye do because I go to my Father.
So that the Holy Spirit can come and work with us.
… That is the second Point that we need to Note.
The first one is that from Eternity, every knee bowed.
And when we pass through time and entered into the other side of Eternity; every knee must bow.
And then, we are Players within this time – Functioning to ensure that the Word of God come to pass.
God is able to by one Simple Decree just Command and every knee bow.
But God in His usual way Prefers Drama – He shows that He is God.
So, the Challenge to us is this – God is saying that every knee must bow.
Let me put it this way – That the measure in which you allow your knees to bow:
☆ Determines the Level of Glory of God that you can behold.
☆ It determines the Level of Honour you can give to God.
☆ It determines the Level of the Power of God that you can see and the Level of the Power of God that can flow through your Life.
Because Jesus Christ said that: “I have come to destroy the works of the devil”.
I have come to make sure that every knees bow.
And He said that the works that I do shall ye do also.
And Greater Works than this shall ye do because I go to my Father.
So, you are an Agent of it to ensure that every knee bow.
But it begins with our own knees – How much we bow our knees before God and Submit to the Lord so that we can behold the Glory, Honour and ascribe all Power to Him.
And the Power works in our lives.
I want to end by talking about the Perequisites- Who has the Final say on:
☆ How much of the Glory of God you can behold?
☆ How much of the Honour that can flow through you?
☆ How much of His Power you can see?
☆ And how much of these can affect your Life?
Because if you behold His Image, you can Change from Glory to Glory.
And I want to give us a Key that I want us to Pray with and as Bible College Graduands to think about even after this.
In Ephesians 3: 16-21 – You find out that in Verse 21, all the Glory return to God, all the Praises and Adoration returns to the Almighty God.
But it begins from Verse 16 – It says that God might Strengtheth you with Might by His Spirit.
Jesus Christ said that the works that I do shall you do and Greater Works than this shall you do because I go back to my Father.
And as He goes to the Father, He sent His Spirit – And the Spirit Strengthens us in the Inner Man.
I noticed Personally that a number of us Ministers and even from the Bible Colleges think of Power in terms of Spiritual Exercise.
That a number of us do not realised that the Secret of Spiritual Power is in how much Strength you have in your Inner Man.
The Level of Strength in your Spirit is what determines what God does through your Life:
☆ It is not how much you know.
☆ it is not how much Brilliant you are Academically.
It is how much God had worked in your Inner Man to Strengthen your Spirit Man.
… Read that Ephesians 3:16.
And now when you now get to Verse 20 (Ephesians 3:20); you will confirm all that we are saying.
All we are saying is for God to be Glorified, Honoured and for Power to be ascribed to God – God is even the One who even has to work it.
… He is the One who worketh in us to do His Good Pleasure.
God is the One In-Charge – If God does not help you, there is Nothing you can do. He is our Helper!
Say it loud: “Help me Lord!”
May the Lord help you and I in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ – Amen
If you get to Ephesians 3:20 – That holds the Key.
You will find out that God is able to do Exceedingly, Abundantly Above all that you ask or think.
… God is able to do beyond your Prayers!
☆ God is able to think beyond the thing you think.
But you don’t have the Capacity to ask for them.
☆ He is able to reveal Great measures of His Glory that you have never thought about before.
☆ He is able to bring your Heart to a Point where you give such Honour to God.
That God Himself says that you are His Son in whom He is well Pleased.
☆ God is able to show you so much of His Power that you will Experience more Power than you have ever read about or thought about.
… God is able to do Exceedingly, Abundantly Above all that we ask of Him.
But Please Note that it is according to the Power that is at work in us.
It is according to how much our Spirits has been worked on by God.
Maybe the Single Person who taught me a lot of Lessons about “The Spirit Man” was “E.W Kenyon.
DMC NOTES: E.W. Kenyon taught extensively on the “Spirit Man,” defining it as the “Hidden Man of the Heart” or “The Recreated Spirit” within a Believer, distinct from the Body and the reasoning Mind. His writings emphasized that this “Inner Spirit” is the “True Self”, transformed in Christ and capable of receiving “God’s Nature and Life”, becoming a “New Creation” through which the Believer experiences Spiritual Life and Fellowship with God.
I do not necessarily buy everything he says but he affected my focus on my Spirit Man more than any Single Individual.
He affected Keneth Hagin a lot too.
It is as if God brought him out to really teach on the Teachings of “Inner Man”.
When you understand the importance of the Strengthening of the Inner Man, then that Ephesians 3:20 becomes obvious.
Every knee shall bow – Only God can make it happen in your Life, Family, Ministry, Business, Health and every Perspectives.
Every knee must bow – The Key is God is able to do Exceedingly, Abundantly Above all we ask or think according to the Power that is at work in us.
GENERAL PRAYERS
Let us rise up as we Pray:
- You will say: Father, help me – Let Your Spirit Strengthens my Spirit Man.
Without You, I can do Nothing – You are the Only One that can make every knees bow.
- I don’t know what is it that you desires the most – The most important thing that you think you Need in order to help you to give more Glory, Honour and Power to God.
At this moment, can we say: Father, intervene in my Life – Grant me access to give You more Glory, Honour and ascribe more Power to You.
Whatever it takes Father; grant me.
Talk to the Lord with all your Heart and with Great Expectations.
The Lord will Help you and He will be Glorified in your Life.
Pour out your Heart to God now!!!
