Genesis 26:12-16;

12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.

13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:

14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.

15 For all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.

16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much Mightier than we.

There is Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC: who is going to be Greater than a Nation – Amen.

When Somebody is doing Extraordinarily well, People always ask this Question, “who is behind the Scene?” They would say, this is not Ordinary, there must be something involved.

If a man has Problems that cannot be easily explained, they would say, “the case has the hand of the enemy in it.”

When we talked about “Long Legs”; some time ago, we were talking about Influence.

Now, when we talk about “Long Arms”, we are talking about Involvement.

When they want to say, “are you involved in this situation?” Another way of saying it is, “have you a hand in it?”

From today onward, God will have a hand in your situation – Amen.

It takes Divine Involvement for a man to Prosper during Famine.

When everybody is crying, no money, no food, no clothes and somebody is building houses and hiring more Servants to take care of his goods.

… There must be a hand in it!

In the case of Isaac, the hand of God was in his affairs – He sowed during Famine.

While everybody is crying ‘Famine’; that was when the Bible said, “he went forward, he grew, until he became very Great.”

The world all over is crying at this moment that they have Financial Problems – It would amaze you that it’s not in Nigeria alone. Go to United Kingdom, they have Financial Problems.

The other day I was listening to the News and they said America wanted to borrow an Extra Point something Trillion dollars – I said, yeah!

The whole world is going through a Financial Crisis. But there is someone here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – It is during this Particular Period that you are going to Prosper – Amen.

It takes God’s hand (Divine Involvement) for a man to be Greater than a Nation.

In Genesis 26:16, the King of a Nation said, “Go from us; for thou art much Mightier than we.”

One (1) man Greater than a Nation? It is difficult to believe but it is the Promise of God for His People.

In Deuteronomy 28:11-13, God says He will bless you so much that you will be lending to Nations – Amen.

That means you will Prosper so much – Nations will come and you will be Lending to Nations (Amen).

That is, you will Prosper so much, Nations would come and say, “Please, we can’t balance our Budget; we need a Loan from you”.

When you read the Story of Isaac, they told him, go away from us because you are Greater than we – One man Greater than a Nation!

Now, God is Sovereign, and according to Psalms 115:3 He does as He Pleases.

We are many here this Morning or reading now on the Label of DMC, and God can go from my right; all the way to my left, search among the People and pick Someone and say, “you are the one who will be Greater than a Nation”.

But God is not Arbitrary – He doesn’t make mistakes! Everything He does is based on Principles.

In Acts 10:34-35, the Bible says, God is no Respecter of Persons.

But in every Nations, everywhere, when He finds correct People; who would do what He ask them to do, He would honour such People. Such People would be accepted by Him.

The case of Isaac was not an Arbitrary case – God wasn’t just Arbitrary in Picking up a man and make him Greater than a Nation.

Take a close look at Isaac and you would discover – Isaac was a man who was one hundred (100%) surrendered to God.

… We’ve talked about him over and over again!

In Genesis 22:1-18, this boy knew from what he learnt from his father; that you don’t come before God empty-handed.

He said to the Father: “Father, I can see the fire, I can see the wood: but where is the Lamb for a Burnt Offering? We are going to offer Sacrifice to God, what are we taking along?”

It came out from the mouth of Isaac.

Isaac was a man who was Prepared to be a First Fruit Sacrifice – The father said, “God will Provide for Himself a Lamb.”

When they got to the top of the Mountain, he discovered, he was to be the Lamb, and he surrendered – “Let the Will of God to be done!”

That is when God Promised him; He said to the father (Abraham), “I will bless you. But this boy, I will Multiply him.

There is Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC, that God will Multiply today – Amen.

The Almighty God had said, “if you are Willing and Obedient, you will eat the Good of the Land” – Isaiah 1:19.

… “Willing” and “Obedient” – There is no limit to how high God can take you.

As a matter of fact, I have discovered from searching the Scriptures – How Great you will become is up to you: because God is More Than Sufficient.

Where you will reach and stop in Life is up to you.

All you have to pay attention to is Ephesians 3:20 – It says: Now unto him that is able to do Exceeding Abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the Power that worketh in us,

I have Good News for somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – Even before the end of this Year (2023), People will look at you and say, “you are Greater than we” – Amen!

But will you obey God? Will you do everything that He says? Or will you be arguing with Him?

He is the All-Sufficient God, and He wants to be involved with you – His Arms are Everlasting.

As we Studied in Open Heavens this Morning (DMC NOTES: Monday, 1st May 2023 under the Topic: “God Can Promote Anyone”); “Promotion comes from Him.” And He can Promote anybody. He can pick a Beggar from the Dunghill and Promote him until he is sitting with Kings.

God can do so!

I would just remind you of a Story, and it will be time for you to Pray!

Some of you know me very well, you know my Story – I had no Pair of shoes until I was eighteen (18) years old.

That means, many of you here or reading now on the Label of DMC, are far, far richer than I was.

And then one of the Past Presidents of Nigeria was about to be sworn in – Big ocassion! And I was in Abuja (not for that ocassion). I had something else to do in Abuja and I was there. Then one big Man of God came in to the Hotel where I was staying excited.

And he showed me a Card, that he was Invited to the Program. And on the card, there was Capital Letter “A”.

That means, this man must be very Important. So he was excited, “look at my Card, Daddy.”

I said, Congratulations!

Even as we were still talking, another Man of God came in. He also has a Card; on his Card was Capital Letter “AA” – That means he is higher than the man whose Card had Letter “A”.

And so the man with Letter”A” was no longer so excited.

And while we were still talking, another Man of God came in with a Card having Capital Letter “AAA”.

And you know the meaning of that?

When it is time for refreshments, People with Letter “A” can only reach a certain Level and stop; Letter “AA” you can get closer; Letter “AAA” you can get much, much closer.

If you have Capital Letter “AAAA”; you are likely to be in the Place where the Ministers and other Heads of State would be entertained.

After the excitement died down, they turned to me and said, “wait a minute oooo, Daddy where is your own Card?” I smiled and said, I have no Card. “Daddy, you have no Card at all?”

… Probably, they were expecting me to have a Card with Capital Letter “AAAA” (laugher)!

I told them, “I don’t need a Card – All I need is to show up and the door would open.”

Stand on your feet!

There are Levels you have not reached yet. And the moment God gets involved with your situation, there is no Limit to how high you can go.

But will you obey Him Completely? Will you do His Will one hundred Percent (100%)?

ALTAR CALL

There are some of you who are here or reading now on the Label of DMC, and we have not even surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ. You better surrender to Him now!

He is the only One Who can Promote you. If He gets involved in your situation from now on, everything will Change. He is the Promoter – He can pick a Beggar and keep Promoting him till he will sit with Princes.

Thank You Father!

If you are ready to Genuinely Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ now; cry to Him and say: Father: Please, save my Soul, I need You in my Life. Get into my Life and take absolute Control. I will serve You for the rest of my Life. Forgive all my sins, Lord, be my Lord and my Saviour and I Promise to serve you.

The rest of us, let’s Stretch our hands towards these our Brothers and Sisters, and Pray that the One who saved our Souls would save their own Souls also. Pray for them! Intercede for their Salvation.

Thank You Father! In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

My Father and my God, I want to bless Your Holy Name for Your Word;

And I want to Thank You for these People who have come forward to surrender their lives to You.

Father Please, receive them in Jesus’ Name!

Save their Souls, help them, Lord, Uphold them and let them become True Children of the Living God. From now on, let them serve You forever.

Thank You my Father!

And now Lord God Almighty, I am asking that anytime they call on You, You would answer them by Fire.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Now, those of you who have just surrendered your Life to Jesus, I want to rejoice with you. And I Promise you that from now on, by the Grace of God; I’ll be Praying for you. So I need your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests.

God Bless You!

THANKSGIVING

Now we want to show God that we will obey Him.

One of the things He said is that we must sow bountifully, so that we can reap bountifully.

You are going to take your Offering and lift it up to the Almighty God; and you are going to cry and say: Father, get involved in my Life. I want to see your arms in my Life.

Go ahead, talk to the Almighty God – I want Your Hand in my business, in my finances, in my situation. Father, stretch Your Everlasting Arms to my affairs. Do that Lord, to the Glory of Your Holy Name.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

And so shall it be, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

Now you’ll dance cheerfully, drop your Offering in the basket nearest to you (online too); and then we will Pray.

Over to you Band!
