BIBLE TEXT: 1 KINGS 19: 4-8

4. But he himself (that was Elijah) went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.

5. And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.

6. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.

7. And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.

8. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the Mount of God.

Now those of you who are here on December 31st, 2018 at the last Holy Communion Service of the Year (2018); we read this same passage and we looked at certain session of it.

Those of you who are not here; it will be to your advantage if you can get the tape and listen to it (or you can contact the Discovery Media Crew, 08023604721 for a WhatsApp copy of the text of the message).

But we told us then that every man at a particular point in time of his life will be in a Valley. Elijah was in a Valley, he ate a Meal and said bye bye to the Valley.

But today, we want to look at another thing from this same story. And this will be found in Verse 8. It says:

8. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the Mount of God.

Tonight, as you eat; you are going to get Strength for the journey ahead – Amen.

We have entered a New Year and we are going to travel along a path that we have never travelled before. Because it is a New Year, only God knows tomorrow.

But by the Meal of tonight, you are going to get Strength for the journey ahead – Amen.

Particularly, as we know from this passage that the journey is “Uphill”. He (Elijah) travelled to the Mountain of God.

I believed very firmly in my Spirit tonight that beginning from this moment, somebody will begin to climb.

Now when he got to the Mountain of God, several things happened to him there:

1. He heard the “Voice of God” in 1 Kings 19:9 – And he came thither unto a cave and lodged there: and behold, the Word of the LORD came to him and He said unto him, what doest thou here Elijah?

Now the Bible says in Psalms 107:20. It said that He sent His Words and it healed them and deliver them from all their destructions.

As you reach the Mountain of God this Year (2019); He will send His Words to you (Amen). That Word will bring you Healings and bring you Deliverance.

2. Another thing that happened to him when he got to the Mountain of God was that according to 1 Kings 19:11; there was a Wind that blew.

11. And He said, Go forth and stand upon the Mount before the LORD. And behold the LORD passed by and a great and strong wind rent the Mountains and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake.

Am believing God tonight that there is someone partaking of this Meal tonight; this Year (2019) the Wind of the Holy Spirit will blow for you (Amen).

In Exodus 14: 21-28; when the wind blew for the children of Israel; it created a way where there was no way before – it parted the Red Sea.

We are in the New Year, and for somebody here tonight; the Almighty God will create a way for you.

3. Another thing that happened to him on that Mountain was that the earth shook – there was an earthquake.

And when you look at Acts 16:25; when the Earth shook for Paul and Silas, their yokes were destroyed, prison doors were opened unto them and the one who was supposed to torture them became their servants.

So I want to decree that this Year (2019); the Earth will shake for you (Amen).

4. Another thing that happened to him when he got to the Mountain Top was that there was a Mighty Fire – the Fire burns so fiercely. Of course it did not burn Elijah. So the Fire just burnt for him.

And when you look at Acts 2: 1-4; you will see that when the Holy Ghost Fire burns on the Day of Pentecost; the Disciples received Power.

Before we leave here tonight; in the Name that is above every other names, the Fire will burn for someone (Amen).

5. Then by the time you get to 1 Kings 19: 15-18; God begin to Guide him – when you reach here do this, when you get there do that.

15. And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus and when thou comest anoint Hazael to be King over Syria.

16. And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be King over Israel and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be Prophet in thy room.

17. And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.

18. Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

When you get to the Mountain Top of God, you will get Guidance.

We are in a New Year (2019) and we don’t even know what lies ahead. It is only if God can Guide us then the Year will be far far more successful than anyone that we have known before.

So tonight, as you partake of this Meal, get ready for “Divine Guidance”.

So Elijah took a Meal and got the Strength to get to the Mountain of God.

When he got to the Mountain of God, he heard the Voice of God; when he got to the Mountain of God, the wind of God blew for him; when he got to the Mountain of God, the Earth quaked for him; when he got to the Mountain of God, the Fire fell for him; when he got to the Mountain of God, he got Divine Directions.

So the Meal we want to take tonight is to give you Strength for the journey – the Strength to climb the Mountain of the Most High God.

So the only fellow that should know that he should not even dream of partaking in the Holy Communion is someone who is not a child of God. Because in the Bible passage read for us (1 Corinthians 11: 23-34); the Bible tells us that if we eat the Meal unworthily, it can kill you.

So if you are here tonight and you are yet to give your life to Jesus Christ and yet you will love to be a partaker of this Meal that gives Strength for the journey ahead. May I appeal to you now come and surrender your life to Jesus Christ. The Holy Communion is only for the children of God not anyone else.

So if you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, I will count from one (1) to five (5); before I say five (5) come and stand before me. I will pray for your Salvation, the Blood of Jesus will wipe away your sins, you will become a member of the family of God and you will be free to be a partaker of the Holy Communion. Am counting now …

The Blood of Jesus cleanses from all sins and admit you into the family of God. And you need to be part of His family before you can partake of the Holy Communion.

Now those of you infront now and those of you on the way; cry to the Almighty God now: Ask Him to please save your souls, ask Him to have Mercy on you, ask Him to wash away your sins with His Blood and Promise Him that from now on, you will serve Him

And the rest of us let us stretch our hands to these people and intercede for them. That the One who save our souls will save their own souls too. Pray that God will grant them a New Beginning. Pray that things will change for the better for them from now on.

Is there anyone still on the way? Hurry up as I want to pray for Salvation now.

Thank you Father, in Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!

GO PRAYS: Saviour I just want to say thank you for your Words. Thank you for these people who has come forward to surrender their lives to you. Please receive them, save their souls, wash away their sins and receive them into the family of God in Jesus Name.

From now on Father, anytime they call on you please answer them by Fire in Jesus Name. And from this day onwards, let them serve you. Please don’t let them backslide. And I pray that in your Kingdom, none of them will be missing.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!

Now those of you who has come forward, I rejoice with you. I want to promise you that from now on, I will be praying for you. So I will need your names, addresses and your prayer requests. If you turn to your left, you will see a man with a Placard there, kindly follow him to where some Pastors are already waiting to collect the information that I needed and they will bring you back very quickly.

God bless you as you go – Congratulations!

ADMINISTRATION OF THE HOLY COMMUNION

Now when they give you the bread; as soon as I give the signal you can take it and continue to pray that the Almighty God will give you Strength for the rest of your journey in life.

When they serve you the wine, please hold on to it till we have all been served and I will tell you how to pray at that stage.

Now when you drink the wine tonight, you will cry to the Almighty God and ask Him that the Fire will fall for you tonight so that you will receive Power to reach the Mountain Top.

You will pray that the Power of the Holy Spirit will fall for you tonight to give you the Power to reach the Mountain Top – Let the Fire fall for me tonight afresh. Give me Power Lord to reach Horeb, the Mountain of God. Give me Power to reach the Top so that I can hear your Voice more clearly, that the Earth may shake and break every yokes, every shackles that may be left in my life and in the Church. That the wind may blow mightily, making a way where there was no way before; that I might hear clear directions from you Lord as to what to do, where to go and what to do, how to do it, when to do it. Guide me Oh Lord, let the Fire fall for me tonight.

… Blessed be your Holy Name Lord. Thank you Father. Let the Fire fall. Glory be to your Holy Name. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!

GO PRAYS: And so shall it be in Jesus Name.

The Almighty God will give you Strength for the journey ahead. He will give you Power to reach the Mountain Top. This Year (2019); you will hear clearly from God. The wind of God will create ways for you where there were no ways. The earthquake of God will force open every prison doors in your life. The Fire of God will fall for you and give you Power. And God will Guide you every step of the way.

So shall it be. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!

Let somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

THANKSGIVING

Please prepare your Offering to God. A Thanksgiving Offering to the Almighty God who made it possible for you to be a partaker of this Meal.

And when you are ready, stand up and you lift up your offerings to the Almighty God. When Elijah offered an offering to God, the evidence that the offering was acceptable was that God send down Fire to take it unto Himself.

So lift up your offerings to God and say Father, please receive my offering, send down Fire from Heaven and take it to yourself and let your Name be Glorified. Go ahead to talk to the Lord.

In Jesus Name we have prayed – Amen!

With Joy in your heart, dance to the nearest basket, drop your offering and then celebrate with your brother and sister because we are already on our way to the Mountain Top.

CLOSING PRAYERS

Father, we want to thank you very much for the offerings of your children.

Father please receive it today, send down your Fire to take it up to yourself. And then upon everyone who has given tonight, let there be “Showers of Blessings”.

As your children will be going, go with them. By the time they will return for the Holy Ghost Service tomorrow (Friday, 4th of January, 2019); let them be already “High Up”. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!

Is there anyone here who is already climbing? Then let your Hallelujah be climbing too – HALLELUJAH!!!
