Father, we bless Your Holy Name – You are the God of Heaven and the Earth.

We Thank You because it is impossible for You to fail and we know that when we are connected to You; failure becomes impossible for us too.

Please, accept our Worship in Jesus Name.

We Thank You for what You have done in the Past Sundays and we Thank You for what You are going to do today.

Please Lord, just Glorify Your Holy Name.

As Your Word is going to go forth Lord; in the Life of everyone listening to us or reading now on the Label of DMC – Do something New, do something very, very Special.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

We are continuing with the remaining Series – The Wonders of Divine Contact. The Series within the Series of The Wonders of God.

We will again read our Bible Text: Isaiah 41: 10-13

10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.

12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

We have learnt thus far that a Single Contact between God and Man can lead to activating the Destiny of that Man.

And we have also learnt that when a Man has more than one (1) Contact with God; then He is likely to move to a level that is really, really amazing.

But today, we want to look at: “The Wonders of Divine Contact – Part 3”.

We want to see what happens when you are Permanently in Contact with God?

And if the Lord tarries and with His Permission; we will then look at Part 4 next Sunday (29th November, 2020) when we will bring the Mini Series to a halt as we continue with the Major Series.

You can also listen to the audio here: Wonders of Divine Contact (Part 3) – Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Now, everyone knows that it is not Pleasant to be an Ex this, Ex that.

I. Nobody wants to be called an Ex Rich.

When we say: “Change is Good”; you need to qualify it.

The Change you are talking about must be a Change from Bad to Good and not from Good to Bad.

And it is Possible to have been rich once and then becomes Poor – Proverbs 23:5 tells us clearly that: Riches can develop wings and fly away.

So, there can be somebody that we can say: “Used to be Rich”.

II. Nobody wants to be referred to as someone who used to be Strong.

… It is not a Pleasant Thing to be an Ex Strong.

2 Samuel 21: 15-17 tells us that David the Giant Killer, the Great Man who brought Goliath down went to war and wax faint and would have died if somebody didn’t help him.

… He has become Ex Strong!

Infact his People has to tell him: You are not going to war with us anymore – No more war!

III. It is not a Pleasant Thing to be an Ex Popular, Ex Famous.

In 1 Samuel 15: 1-30; you will see in the Story of King Saul that the way he behaved was because he didn’t want to be seen as Ex Popular.

Even when the Man of God rebuked him and told him that you have messed up, you are finished and the Man of God was going.

He said: Ha, Ha; you can’t go as the People are watching. They might not be hearing our conversations but if they see you leaving me, they will know that I’m no longer welcome in the sight of God. You must wait and worship God with me as if everything is still fine.

IV. It is a terrible thing to be an Ex Champion.

If you read Judges 16: 18-End; you will know what I’m talking about.

When Samson was Praying that his “Last Prayer”; the reason he said: Let me die with these People was because he didn’t want to keep on living as an Ex Champion.

That is why “Wise Boxers” – And there are not too many of them; will want to just retire as an “Undefeated Champion”.

… They don’t want to wait till somebody has knocked them out.

There used to be a Boxer – You find out that when they knock him out, when he losses a fight; he will say: Let’s fight again.

I have seen People that they will fight again, they will defeat him and he will say just one more time.

… Nobody wants to be an Ex Champion!

I Pray for everyone of you listening to me today or reading now on the Label of DMC; you will never be an Ex Champion – Amen.

I. So, we need “Constant Supply” so that we don’t become Ex Rich.

Philippians 4:19 says: But my God shall supply all your Needs according to His Riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.

II. We need “Constant Success”.

We don’t want to be Successful today and then failure tomorrow.

Philippians 4:13 says: I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.

III. We need to go through this as an Undefeated Champion”.

Deuteronomy 28:13 says: You shall be Above Only and not beneath.

… Champions forever!

That is what happens when you have “Permanent Contact with God.

And in the Bible Text that I read to you; you will see what a “Permanent Contact” with God Promises:

1. He said: I will hold your hands.

It is not you holding Him now. He says Holding my hands.

Like they used to tell us when I was a Younger Christian: If you say you are the one holding on to Jesus; what happens when you get tired? What happens when you fall asleep?

You will lose grips.

But if He is the One holding on to you; He neither Sleeps nor Slumber and He is never tired.

2. In this Bible Text that we read; He said: When I’m holding your hands; you have nothing to Fear.

He said: Fear Not!

He said an End can come to Fear in your Life Permanently.

You see in 1 John 4:18; the Bible says: Fear is a Tormentor.

So bad is Fear that in Proverbs 29:25; God says the fear of a Man gives snare.

… If you are afraid of a Man, you will fall into a trap.

The reason why some People run to Herbalist and Witch Doctors is because of the fear of Man.

They are looking for somebody who will Protect them from Witches and Wizards and other kinds of enemies.

As a matter of fact; Hebrews 2: 14-15; the Bible says the reason the devil is able to keep so many in bondage is because of “Fear of Death”.

But you hear David saying in Psalms 23:4: Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of death; I will fear no evil.

Why? – For thou art with me.

… I’m in Contact with You.

Fear is a terrible thing.

One of the things that made Fear so terrible according to Job 3:25; is that almost invariably that which you are afraid of will come to you.

But when you are in “Permanent Contact” with God, He said that you will have nothing to Fear; Fear will get away from you.

Romans 8:15 says: You do not have the spirit of bondage again to Fear.

“Permanent Contact” with God will guaranteed you no more Fear.

3. He says: When you are in “Permanent Contact” with God; you don’t need to be dismayed.

Dismayed means you don’t have to despair; you don’t have to lose Hope.

Why? – Because it is written in Isaiah 3:10 that: Say ye to the Righteous; it shall be well with him.

… Your tomorrow will be alright if you are connected to Him.

Colossians 1:27 says: If Christ is in you; you have the Hope of Glory.

… Not the Hope of shame, not the Hope of defeat, not the Hope of an enemy sneaking up behind you to destroy you – THE HOPE OF GLORY!

And then it went on to say Provided that we are in this “Permanent Contact”; He said: I will Strengthened you.

Now, I like that because if you read Isaiah 40: 29-31; it tells us that even Young Men will be tired, they will be weary.

No matter how Strong you think you are; when you wake up in the morning, when you have been working; when it gets to around 4 O’Clock the energy is almost gone.

That is why in most Places of work; they allow you to close around that Period because they knew that keeping you longer is going to be Counter Productive as you don’t have the energy to do much more.

But He says: They that wait upon the Lord, they that is connected to Him will just continually have their Strengths renewed.

You know that when you Plug the Water Heater to a Socket; you switch on the Power and then you drop the Water Heater in a big bucket of water.

It is the water that will boil and then evaporate but the Water Heater will just keep on getting hot and getting hot.

But if you will unplug that Water Heater from the Socket; even if it is Red Hot, by the time you Plug it out and you drop it in a bucket of water; the water will boil but very soon; the Water Heater will be cold and there will be nothing to write home about the Water Heater again unless you Plug it back to the Socket.

He said: I will Strengthen you!

And when you have Constant Supply of Strength; that is how you can have Constant Supply of Success like I mentioned earlier in Philippians. 4:13.

4. But there is one that I really, really liked.

He says: I will Uphold you.

That reminds me of what the Bible says in Micah 7:8.

He said: Rejoice not against me Oh my enemies; if I fall, I will rise again.

You know that there are People who are watching you day and night waiting for you to make a single mistake and then they feel that as soon as you make a single mistake, you are written off forever.

… No, not with God!

He said that I will Uphold you.

He said that I will even see to it that you don’t fall and if you fall; I will Pick you up; Set you on your feet again and say: March On!

Psalms 37: 23-24; He said that: The steps of a Righteous Man are ordered by God.

He said that: Though he fall, he will not be utterly cast down.

Why? – Because the Lord upholdeth him with His Hands.

I remembered when my children were very Young and we want to go and do Prayer Walk. Sometimes, some of them will say: Hey, I want to go with you.

I remembered one day in Particular; they were on Holidays and one of the boys (Very tiny fellow) but was eager to go with me anywhere I go.

Where are you going daddy?

I am going for a Walk; I will go with you and I said okay.

He has no idea how far I will be walking.

After we travelled quite a bit of distance; he looked at me; I looked back. We are far from home.

He said: How am I going to get back home?

How do you get here? – I walked he said.

When I saw that he couldn’t go further; I picked him up and carry him.

But the Lord says: I will Uphold you.

You know in Psalms 40: 1-2; He said: He brought me out of the Miry clay and set my feet upon the rock to stay. He established my goings

That is Good News for any of us who has made any mistake in the Past – The Almighty God is saying: Don’t worry; I will Pick you up, I will brush you up and we wil continue with the Journey – Amen.

5. And then He said: All your enemies, all those who are waring against you He said I will deal with them.

… I like that!

He said: I will put them to shame; I will confound them, you will look for them and you won’t even find them.

How many of us are childish enough to think that we have no enemies?

I. If you are nobody; your enemies might not be many.

II. If all you have is a third (3rd) hand bicycle and all you have is Probably two (2) Pairs of Shirts and two (2) Pairs of trousers; you don’t need a Night Guard before you sleep because what will anybody come to steal?

III. But when God begins to Promote you; when all of a sudden People you begin to beg for Second (2nd) hand clothes don’t see you anymore; when all of a sudden they begin to see that God is Promoting this fellow?

And as we learnt last week; by the time you get the Second (2nd) Touch from God; Promotion begins – (https://discoverymediacrew.com/The-Wonders-Of-Divine-Contact-Part-2-Pastor-EA-Adeboye)

When they see that God is beginning to Promote you; enmity begins!

Many at times you will wonder: What have I done to these People?

Nothing except that God has lifted you High

… And God is going to lift you High – Amen. It is already too late for you to avoid that one.

He says that the enemies that gang up against you; He said that I will deal with them.

In Judges 15: 9-15; you will be amazed that it is the Relatives of Samson that bound him and handed him over to the Philistines.

… Enemies Within handed him over to Enemies Without!

You begin to Prosper and you will be amazed that how many of the enemies in your own home will begin to crop up.

Jesus Christ Himself said so. He said: A Man foes will be those of his households.

There are very few People who will really want it to be well with you – Very few!

But Thank God for the Almighty God; you can trust Him – He has Pleasure in your Prosperity, He has Pleasure in your Promotion, He has Pleasure in your Success.

So, when the Enemies Within handed Samson over to the Enemies Without and God intervened – Not only were the Enemies Without slaughtered and scattered; the Enemies Within themselves must have been terribly embarrassed because they thought that we have finished with this fellow; this is the fellow causing Problem – Kill him and let us have Peace.

And at the end of the day; the Young Man stood up and said: Well, let us go home, the battle is over, Thank You for binding me so fast.

In 2 Chronicles 20: 1-25; when three (3) Mighty Kings gang up against Jehoshaphat.

The Almighty God said: Don’t worry yourself; you won’t even need to fight in the battle. By the time I finished with them; you won’t even see them. The only thing you will see will be their riches changing hands.

In Isaiah 54:15 – It is one of the Passages that I love so much.

He said: Don’t worry, they will gather against you but it will not be me that will ask them to gather together but they that gathered against you will fall for your sake.

… That is the Word of God – It is forever settled

And once a while, when I Pray some very tough Prayers; some People get angry.

I always wondered: Why do you get angry?

If I say that God will destroy “Evil People” and you get angry – Are you evil?

I mean the only People who feared the Auditors are those who has something to hide.

If we ask the Almighty God to uproot every trees He has not Planted and you are angry?

Are you among one of those who has not been Planted by God?

6. And then finally He said: I will Help you.

… Isn’t that beautiful?

Because in Psalms 121: 1-2; David said: I will lift up my eyes unto the Hill; from whence cometh my Help? My Help comes from the Lord who makes Heaven and Earth.

… You can never get a better Helper than God!

He is the Only One who will Help you and who will not turn round and begin to say: Ha, so you are now a “Big Man”? You have forgotten the day that without me you cannot even have a Second (2nd) Pair of shoes – Not God!

The Bible says that: When He blesses, He does it liberally and he won’t make reference to it.

As a matter of fact; Psalms 60: 11 says: Vain is the help of Man.

He warned us not to seek for the help from Man in Isaiah 31: 1-3.

He says that: You are seeking Help from one Man.

He said: Well, when the trouble comes but you and the one who says he is helping you – You will Perish together.

There is only One Helper; who is the Almighty God!

And He is here; He is Promising that I will help.

In Conclusion; if you have found out that the Almighty is making Contacts after Contacts with you; you should rejoice, you should Praise Him. And Please, stick close to Him.

If you are with Him constantly, you can be sure that for the rest of your Life you have nothing to Fear at all.

But if you are there and you are still relying on Men for help – Man will fail you because the Man you say you are relying upon himself might not even be able to help himself.

You are trusting the help from Man, you are exposing yourself to danger – Serious danger.

I have told you the story before – Before I knew Jesus Christ, when things were happening right, left and center: I am a Young Man bought a car, built a little house, I was doing well in my career.

My Relatives came: The way you are going, we need to fortify you because there were enemies everywhere.

I agreed there were enemies everywhere. They said they want to fortify me; I said fine, let us go.

When they took me to one Strong Herbalist according to them in a town called Oshogbo in Osun State; Western Part of Nigeria.

When I got there; I looked at the fellow: Is this the man who is going to help me?

He must have noticed my disdain and so he decided to tortured me a little.

He asked me to go and bring a goat and he told me that I must not bring the goat in my car – I must lead the goat from the market to his Place.

… Lecturer, in the University oh!

The goat gave me tough time.

Thank God it was in Oshogbo in Osun State; Western Part of Nigeria; not in the University of Lagos, Lagos State, Western Part of Nigeria where I was Lecturing.

But then, I got to him and he made for me three (3) Perfect Charms:

I. He said: You tie this one under the Steering of your car and your car will never collide with anyone.

II. You put this one in the booth of your car; nobody will ever collide with your car from behind.

III. You put this one under your seat – Just in case!

What in case again?

He said: Just in case anything happens; the son of Man will just disappeared.

I put all the Charms in the car, came back to Lagos and within two (2) weeks; I had three (3) accidents.

I never had accident before.

I got angry and nobody had to tell me as I took all the Charms and threw them into the Lagoon.

Now, I have Jesus Christ; I can go anywhere. No Fear because I know that He can take care of enemies – I don’t have to fight as He will do the fighting for me.

ALTAR CALL
