- In every Man’s Life, a certain set of People identified as Greeks, spoke to the Disciples of Jesus Christ and said: “We want to see Jesus”.
People gathered to Celebrate before these People Singled themselves out – And to them, all they want out of all the things happening in the Multitude is: “We want to see Jesus”.
I don’t know that thing in your own Heart:
☆ Are you here to see Jesus?
☆ Or are you here to do something else?
To these Set of People, the reason to be in the Gathering was to see Jesus.
I Pray in the Name of Jesus: As many that are here and desire to see Jesus, you will see Him Today in the Name of Jesus – Amen!
- In the Book of Mark 5: 25-34, there was also another Set of crowd around the Lord Jesus Christ.
But there is a woman there – Normally referred to as “The woman with the Issue of Blood”.
So many People Clustered around the Lord Jesus Christ, but this woman said that all I want is to touch the Hem of His Garment.
She Pressed all around the Multitudes until she got to Jesus Christ and touched the Hem of His Garment.
And the Bible recorded that immediately she touched the Hem of His Garment, her Problems stopped.
I Stand upon the Rock that never fails: As many that are here Today to touch the Lord Jesus Christ, God will touch you – Amen!
Whatever Problems or Challenges that has followed you here, you will look for them and see them no more in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
To this woman, the reason for being in that Gathering was to touch Jesus.
- In the Book of Mark 10: 46-52; Bartimeaus said that there is a crowd here but what I want is to hear Him.
Everybody was Struggling and following the Lord Jesus and he started shouting.
At a time, they asked him to stop and shut up.
He looked at them: Me? Shut up? No way! I have come here for a Purpose.
And the reason for Bartimeaus to be in that Gathering at that Point in time was to hear Jesus.
I don’t know about you – Are you here Today to hear the Lord Jesus Christ?
By the Power that is in the Name of Jesus Christ, you will hear the Name of Jesus – Amen!
And you will never remained the same in the Name of Jesus – Amen!
- In the Book of Matthew 3: 16-17; it talks about what happened at the Baptism of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Bible says that as He was coming out of the water the Heaven opened.
☆ The Bible says that He saw the Almighty God.
☆ And the Bible also recorded that a Dove highlighted on Him and He was touched.
☆ And then He heard a Voice from Heaven – This is my Beloved Son in whom I’m well Pleased.
When you look at that Verse, you will find out that the Heaven opened unto Him.
The Heavens will open over you – Amen
You will see the Almighty God – Amen
- In 2 Kings 2: 1-15; it was the Story of Elijah disappearing and Elisha taking over.
Many People knew that it was the Appointed Day for the Master (Elijah) to depart.
Infact the Sons of the Prophet also knew.
It’s not only that they knew, Peradventure they knew the Location – They could see Elijah and Elisha approaching River Jordan.
It was even Possible that they saw the Whirlwind carrying Elijah above and carrying him away.
Everybody may see but only Elisha touched the Mantle that fell from Elijah.
Many of us see Miracles happening, and some of us see the Miracle-Working-God but only those that are Thirsty, Hungry and Determined will hear the Word that will cause him/her to cross over to your Destiny!
The Lord is here Today:
☆ I want you to ignore everybody around you.
☆ Don’t bother yourself about that Brother/Sister.
☆ Be focused.
Because Today, you will Stand Out, you will be Special and you will no more be Ordinary in the Name of Jesus – Amen!
- The Book of Acts 2: 1-21; the Bible says that many Disciples gathered at the Upper Room.
And in that Upper Room, they heard a Sound, then the Cloven Tongues of Fire and they even felt the Fire when it kindled upon their Heads.
But by the time we get to Acts 3: 1-8; the Bible made me to know that at the Beautiful Gate, Peter and John were just leaving the Upper Room.
They got to the Point where the Man was – And they told the Man: Look at us; we just left the Upper Room and the Anointing is still bubbling.
And here is this Man Lame.
They said: Look at us! And the Man looked at them.
Even though the Bible did not record it – Peradventure they were saying in their Mind: Both of us are just coming from a Special Retreat.
Peter said: Silver and Gold I have none.
But you see, it got more interesting when he said: Look at me and not us.
I can tell you that in this Retreat, we were expecting nothing less than 320 People by the Records of Registration.
But aside from this crowd of 320 People, there is Somebody here that will go Home:
☆ Do the Miraculous
☆ Do the Supernatural
☆ The Heaven will use in a Special Way.
In the Name of Jesus Christ – Amen!
Peter said that: Silver or Gold I have none but what I have I will give unto you.
What is it that they have?
At that Point in time, he was no more talking Generally.
Oh Bro John and I, we were at the Upper Room but at this Point, what I took away from the Upper Room, I will give unto you,
In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, rise up and walk.
He did not say: What we got.
In this Multitude, many things are going to happen:
☆ The Hand of God will move.
☆ Some will See.
☆ Some will Touch
☆ Some will Hear.
☆ Manifestation will be brought forth,
☆ The Miracles will happen.
☆ And the Name of the Lord will be Glorified.
You may not leave this Place with Silver or Gold, but you will leave this Place with one thing that will be Memorial, something Remarkable, something Supernatural, something that cannot be Patched Up and something that Money cannot buy – God will bestow them upon you in the Name of Jesus (Amen).
By the time that we get to Acts 5: 2-16; the Bible says that all the Apostles Performed Wonders.
All of them because they were all in the Upper Room.
But it was Peter whose Shadow was healing the Sick.
When you read that record – There was no Spectacular thing done by God on Peter.
He was also among the Multitude like this but his own was Special – His Shadow started healing the Sick.
Your own Shadow too will heal the Sick in the Name of Jesus – Amen!
This Retreat will be a Landmark one for you in the Name of Jesus – Amen
Daddy GO once shared a Testimony that he read a Magazine talking about the Grouping of cars.
That they said that:
☆ Mercedes Benz is the Strongest car.
☆ They said that BMW is the Fastest car.
☆ Oh they even say that Lexus is the Most Comfortable.
And Someone asked: What about Royce Rolls?
And Daddy GO said that we need to know that Jets and Aeroplanes engines were made with Royce Rolls engines.
And that is why Majority cannot even buy it because it is very, very Expensive.
And Somebody said that don’t you know that Royce Rolls is in a Class of its own.
If we are comparing cars and you are talking of Royce Rolls?
I believe that Somebody here Today is in the Class of his own – Amen.
You will leave this Place and the Almighty God will put you in a Special Class – Amen
Your Shadows will heal the Sick – Amen
The Miraculous will happen through you – Amen.
I have heard the Testimony of our father-in-the-Lord about a Madman that they chained and the Man said just take me to the Redemption Camp – Once my feet can touch that Ground, every other thing is Settled (Sikena).
And the moment his feet touched the Ground, he was healed.
I Stand upon the Rock that never fails: Whichever Ground you walk upon will be Grounds of Miracle in the Name of Jesus – Amen
I can see Mighty Things happening in our Parishes after this Season because the Mighty Hands of God will rest upon you – Amen
Your Life will never remain the same in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
Now, when you look at Acts Chapter 15, you will also see the Categories of Apostles – We have Chief Apostles, Senior Apostles and the like.
But in 2 Corinthians 11:5; the Bible talks about the Chiefest Apostles.
Of all the Apostles, Paul was in a Class by himself – He was a Landmark Apostle.
You will be in a Class by yourself – Amen
You will be Incomparable in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
People will say that we have been seeing Christians, Ministers and Pastors but your own is a Special Case because:
☆ The Power of God will radiate through you.
☆ The Glory of God will Shine upon your Life.
☆ And your Life will never remain the same again in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
I was once Sharing with a Sister and the Sister says that they appointed her to be Head of Women Group. And she looked at herself as not fit and how will she cope.
So, she went to Pray.
While she was Praying, she entered into a Vision – And she saw the Leader of the Group leading her to a room.
On getting to the room, they gave her a hoe and instructed her to till the Ground.
But before she could look back and say anything, the Leader had gone.
And she looked inside the room – It was tiled – How do you use a hoe to tilled a Ground like this?
She approached one of her Leaders and that one says: The Tool in your hand is grossly Inadequate.
And what is the Tool?
You are the Tool!
And the Tool needs to be refined.
You cannot do the work of God with Unequalified Tool.
And the reason why God had brought you here this Morning is to:
☆ Refined you.
☆ Equipped you.
☆ Make you better than you can ever be.
Because the Assignment is tasking and highly demanding – You need to be Equipped to do the work.
God needs Capable Hands:
☆ God will Equipped you Today and you will become Powerful Instrument in the Hand of God.
☆ You will become a Terror to the Kingdom of Darkness in the Name of Jesus.
In Philippians 3: 7-11; the Bible says: That I may know Him and the Power of His Resurrection and the Fellowship of His Sufferings being made Comfortable unto His Death (DMC NOTES: Philippians 3:10).
But the Big Question you need to ask yourself is:
☆ Why am I here?
☆ What am I taking away?
I want to encourage you my Brothers and Sisters to cry unto God that I may see You, that I may feel You, that I may hear You Lord and my Life will never remain the same again.
Can you Please bow down your Heads now and cry unto Him?
SONG
Jesus is here right now
Jesus is here right now
He is here to meet your Needs
And to Set the Captives Free
Oh Jesus is here right now.
