TEXT: ISAIAH 40:27-31

We Bless the Name of the Lord for the Rendition of the Choir. We believe God for their lives; that from Glory to Glory they will go.

And this Season of our Waiting upon the Lord: “GOD BLESS YOU”, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

Shall we just Pray?

SONG

Dependable, Dependable Lord;
Dependable Lord Dependable,
Dependable Lord!

Reliable, Reliable Lord,
Reliable Lord;
Reliable, Reliable Lord!

OPENING PRAYER

Father Almighty. The Most Dependable. The Most Reliable. The Unchangeable Changer. We bow our heads and hearts!

Thank You because You are there for us; Thank You that Seasons go and Sessos come but You remain Constant.

Because You are Constant, we can rely on You; because You are Constant, Your act is Constant – We say THANK YOU.

Thank You for the things that You are doing for us; Thank You for what You are doing in this season!

Despite and in spite of all the challenges around us, You are Faithful, You are Reliable, You are Dependable.

Accept our Thanks, in the Name of Jesus!

We worship Your Name oh God for another Privilege to come and Study.

Oh God of heaven, open our hearts together, that You will teach us the Word of God.

Holy Spirit, we have sought Your face for what You will enable us to teach today. Please, nobody who will be Part of this Digging Deep will be the same again.

Lord, You will increase the tempo of our Trust and You will stir our hearts to depend upon You much more.

Thank You, our Maker!

We Thank You for our Father-in-the-Lord, who has given us the Platform. Lord, continue to encourage and increase him.

Himself and our Mummy (His Dear Wife); God’s Glory will not cease from their lives.

And for everyone who has written for Prayers Request, Lord Answer them!

All the Questions we cannot tackle, You the Holy Spirit, the Great Teacher will give answers to those questions.

We Thank You, our Father!

Today, I surrender my head, my mouth, my heart – I don’t know anything, but I Pray that Your Wisdom will come into Action. And that no one who will be Part of this Study today will remain the same.

Thank You Eternal Father! We give You Glory, we give You Honour, we give You Praise.

In Jesus’ Most Mighty Name we Pray – Amen!

GOD BLESS YOU – Amen!

We want to appreciate God for today. And I want to appreciate my father in the Lord for the Privilege.

God will continually keep you Sir. And God will be with you Sir! It is well with your family, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

Today, we will be looking at: GOD IS SURELY DEPENDABLE.

And when you say He is Dependable, He is also Reliable. When you say He is Reliable, you can count on Him.

When every Pillar gives way, you can count on Him, because He is available.

… That is what it means!

Isaiah 40:27-31:

27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my Judgement is Passed over from my God?

28 Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the Earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of His Understanding.

29 He giveth Power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth Strength.

30 Even the Youths shall faint and be weary, and the Young men shall utterly fall:

31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their Strength; they shall mount up with wings as Eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

God Bless the reading and hearing of His Words in our hearts, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

These verses are Loaded – Loaded in the sense that, in the dark moment in Babylon, when they were faced with disappointments! the Faithful ramnants in that Particular Land needed Hope and Comfort. And these Hope and Comfort had to end given by the Prophets Ordained by God.

When you look at Isaiah 40, it is often referred to as: “The Second Phase of the Ministry of Prophet Isaiah”.

In fact, they said these are the Second Part of the Book of Isaiah.

The Book is in Part, and Chapter 40 is the Second Part of the Book of Isaiah. And it is intended to give assurance to the Faithful.

And more so, the Seventieth (70th) Year is when the Captivity of Babylon was approaching.

So in Isaiah 40:27-31, the Prophet Isaiah teaches us Great Truth about God; Great Truth that brings Healing, Assurance and Hope to the People who are distressed, and those who are in sorrows.

And I believed that this Passage is also very Practical for those of us in this Part of the world: that you can Rely on God; that God is Dependable.

Under any circumstance of suffering, loss or grief, and insecurity, you can rely on Him.

There are THREE (3) BASIC THINGS ABOUT GOD that we want to deal with today from Isaiah 40:27-31.

1. GOD IS AWARE.

You know God is called, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent – God is aware!

To the People that are tempted, to be Patient because God is aware!

In Isaiah 40:27, He says: “Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is Passed over from my God? “

Why do you think that way? Why do you make such reckless charges against the Almighty?

He said to Abraham in Genesis 17:1 – ‘I Am the ALMIGHTY.’

God repeated the same Message to Moses in Exodus 3:14 – ‘I AM.’

Isaiah 40:28 says: “Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the Earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of His Understanding.”

God is aware of what befalls His People; He is aware of what we are going through in this Part of the World.

There may be mistrust, insecurity and the likes. And we may be tempted to think that God has forsaken us – No, He is aware!

Psalms 1:6 says; “For the LORD knoweth the way of the Righteous: but the way of the Ungodly shall Perish.”

… Aren’t you glad, that He knows your way?

Those who Jesus said in Isaiah 40; went through the darkest moment of their lives in Captivity, Oppressed, Depressed, Beaten, Persecuted, Pushed aside.

Even in the midst of all those, God said He is aware and knows all they are going through.

Hence, we must let this settle in our subconsciousness; “Our ways are not hidden from the Lord”.

God is aware of all you are going through!

Maybe you have been Singing: “Nobody knows the Pain I am going through.”

But the ALL-KNOWING God, the Omniscient, is AWARE!

And I know as you are reading this Message now on the Label of DMC, because God wants to do something SPECIFIC – And He will do it for you – Amen!

… He’s AWARE.

2. GOD IS ABLE.

Isaiah 40:28 says: “Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the Earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of his understanding.

Because we are weak and weary, we tend to believe God is also weak and weary – Forgetting that He is the ALMIGHTY.

No! God is not a man at all.

When we are tired, we feel like quitting and we believed that God is also tired, and will also quit!

That is a wrong way to think and believe because GOD IS ABLE. He has the Capacity to DO ALL HE WANTS TO DO.

The Bible says Jehovah El Shaddai neither faints, nor is He weary. The Vastness of His wealth and depth of Power is overwhelming.

There is the other side of God, that you don’t know, I don’t know! It is simply Unfathomable.

But when you think about your weakness, your frailty, your Strength. And you now equate it to God’s; it is a wrong assumption.

Because God neither faints nor grow weary; especially, regarding all His Promises.

There is always the other side of God which no man knows

Pharaoh tried it – He Pursued the children of Israel into the Red Sea, only for him to discovered that it was too late to turn back!

God never fades, and there is no searching to His Understanding.

Isaiah 40:29-30 says:

“He giveth Power to the faint; and to them that have no Might He increaseth Strength. Even the Youths shall faint and be weary, and the Young men shall utterly fall:”

He is telling us here that even the Young People get tired and faint. Some may utterly fall. But the Creator neither faints no grow weary.

SEVEN (7) THINGS ABOUT GOD’S ABILITY.

I. He is ABLE.

Why? – Because He is the TRUE and the LIVING GOD.

Hebrews 10:31 says: God is a Living God.

Somebody Who is Living, Who knows how the World began. He alone knows the Foundation of Heaven and Earth.

II. He is ABLE to do – For He is neither inactive, He is neither Idle nor dead.

In Jeremiah 32:17, when Prophet Jeremiah encountered God, he concluded that – There is NOTHING that is too hard for God to do.”

III. He is ABLE to do what we ASK because He HEARS and ANSWER PRAYERS.

Jeremiah 33:3 says: “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and Mighty things, which thou knowest not.”

Matthew 7:7 says: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:”

Isaiah 65:24 says: “And it shall come to Pass, that before they Call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.”

He is ABLE to do what we ASK!

Are you going through issues in life? – ASK Him!

IV. He is ABLE to do what we ASK or IMAGINE.

For He can read your thoughts, and He can discern the intents of our hearts and imaginations – Hebrews 4:12B

And before you even ask, He can do those things anyway.

Ephesians 3:20 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,”

V. He is ABLE because He knows it ALL and He can PERFORM.

John 14:14 says: “If ye shall ask ANY THING in My Name, I will do it.”

May I ask you Sir/Ma, reading this Message now on the Label of DMC: Is there ANYTHING you want God to do for you?

Jesus, the Word from the Beginning says: ‘Ask ANY THING in My Name!’

VI. He is ABLE to do MORE because His Expectations are HIGHER than ours.

Isaiah 55:8-9 says: “For My Thoughts are not your Thoughts, neither are your Ways my Ways, saith the LORD. For as the Heavens are higher than the Earth, so are my Ways Higher than your Ways, and my Thoughts than your Thoughts.”

VII. He is ABLE to do IMMEASURABLY; because His Power is UNLIMITED.

… There is no LIMIT as to what God can do!

We say God is Surely Dependable because: He is AWARE, He is ABLE. And the Third (3rd) things is that:

3. GOD IS AVAILABLE.

He is AVAILABLE to renew the Strength of those who WAIT ON HIM – Isaiah 40:31

One might inquire: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WAIT ON HIM?

Let us understand this, it’s not a passive thing where we do nothing and expect Miracles. That is not waiting on our Living God.

No! That is ‘using’ God. Taking advantage of Him.

To WAIT on God means: “SINCERE and STEADY DEPENDENCE on Him, with an OBEDIENT Trust.”

It is not about your Needs alone!

It means leaning completely on God for Strength.

And this cannot be done without FAITH and OBEDIENCE.

All we need to do is to believe in God with a commitment of Active Obedience.

The more threatening and bold the Challenges of Persecutions, Insecurity, Oppression, Economic choas, Retrenchment, downsizing in the workplace; the more firmly you need to despirately believe in Him to be able to change things.

When going through all these issues, you WAIT on Him with Single focus of TRUST and DEPENDENCE on Him.

What does it means to Wait on God according to Isaiah 40:31?

WHEN YOU WAIT ON HIM, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO HAPPEN?
Isaiah 40:31 says: “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their Strength; they shall mount up with wings as Eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

FIVE (5) THINGS TO NOTE WHEN YOU WAIT:

You need to wait on Him because He is the SUPREME RULER over EVERYTHING.

WHAT DOES HE RULE ON?

1. He Rules the HEAVEN.

Isaiah 66:1 says: “Thus saith the LORD, The Heaven is my throne, and the Earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the Place of my rest?”

2. He rules the EARTH.

Psalms 24:1 says: “The Earth is the LORD’s, and the Fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.”

All those who are boasting: ‘I will deal with you;’ Those who boasted like them yesterday, where are they?

In the Past, there were People in the world that were Prominent world Phenomenon – Where are they today?

They have all become History! But God remains CONSTANT.

I like to let you know: The issue you are going through now, will soon come to Pass! Nothing is Permanent. Everything will surely come to Pass.

… Because God Rules the Earth!

I have heard People ignorantly saying: ‘Satan rules the Earth.’

Genesis 1:1 says: “In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth.”

God is still In Charge: He’s neither Idle, and has not stopped working.

So Relax! – God Rules the Earth.

3. He Rules THE KINGS of the Earth.

Proverbs 21:1 says: “The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: He turneth it whithersoever He will.”

… God has Power to Change Men.

If anybody has Premeditated anything evil against you, God has the Power to change their mind. Hence, you should commit the heart of those who hate you, to God.

… Because God has the Capacity to Change Men.

4. He Rules the ELEMENTS.

Proverbs 30:4 says: “Who hath ascended up into Heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the Earth? What is His Name, and what is His Son’s Name, if thou canst tell?”

He Rules the Elements: No wonder, Jesus. Rebuked the Wind and the waves in Mark 4:37-39. The Wind and the Storm Obeyed Him because He Rules the Elements.

5. He Rules our ENEMIES.

Psalms 34:7 says: “The Angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.”

Elijah understood that, even the face of insurmountable Syrian Army sent to arrest him; he called down fire to teach them some lessons – 2 Kings 1:9-14

The servant of Elisha only saw the Soldiers surrounding their house.

While the servant saw the Enemies, Elisha saw the Host of Heaven, in a flaming chariot of fire around them.

2 Kings 6:16-17 – “And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha Prayed, and said, LORD, I Pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the Young Man; and he saw: and, behold, the Mountain was full of Horses and Chariots of fire round about Elisha.”

He Rules your Enemies – So, they cannot harm you. No!

That is why it is written in Isaiah 54:17 that: “No weapon that is formed against thee shall Prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in Judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of Me, saith the LORD.”

He Rules over Satan, over Death, over Powers!

Hence, Ephesians 6:10-11 says:

“Finally, my Brethren, be Strong in the Lord, and in the Power of His Might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

God is Available to those who WAIT on Him.

And this Availability was supremely Manifested in the Saviour, when He said in Matthew 11:28-30:

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your Souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Just like the the People of Judah – In the days of Hezekiah and Isaiah; being overwhelmed in the land of Captivity.

Maybe you are overwhelmed by the terrible situations around you. Just as they were getting tired and weary, thinking it was because God had forgotten them.

Peradventure that is how you are thinking right now.

But I like to encourage you today, Don’t be discouraged, there is Hope.

Isaiah 40:27-31 tells us: God is AWARE, He is ABLE and He is AVAILABLE.

… Let me conclude!

We are living in a Materialistic World, where People use their Strength and Fame to Judge what is going.

But you need to know that God is available, and you can RUN TO HIM.

And when you go to Him, He carries you on Eagle’s Wings.

ALTAR CALL

You can Surrender to Him today! Carry those Problems to His Feet and say: LORD, I don’t understand why these things are happening.

But I know You are AWARE, I know You are ABLE and I know You are AVAILABLE.

What He said to the Captivity of Babylon, He is saying the same to us in our World today.

And He is saying particularly to you today:

I Am ABSOLUTELY DEPENDABLE; I Am SURELY RELIABLE.

I don’t know where you are, but I came to announce to you by the Leading of God, that God wants to take over those issues.

If you live in the Country where I live (Nigeria), there is a tendency for you to be overwhelmed:

… So Rich and yet so Poor! We have a lot of Resources, but nothing seems to be working – Bad Roads, Poor Electricity Supplies, Shortage of water supply, Corrupt Government and Insecurity.

We may be tempted to believe that God has forgotten us.

Others tend to believe our Generation have sinned against God and He is Punishing us with all these.

However, I believe God is AWARE, God is ABLE and God is AVAILABLE.

I want you to bow your head.

He says: ‘Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’

If you are Born Again; cast your cares on Him – 1 Peter 5:7.

And if you are not Born Again, bring your Burden to Jesus Christ.

If you are not Born Again, Pray along with me thus:

“Lord, I release my life to You. I confess my sin and I repent. Come into my heart. Lord, save me today. Thank You for the Blood You shed. I receive Salvation by Faith.”

In Jesus’ Mighty Name – Amen!

PRAYER FOE SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER.

My Father and my God, we worship You for the Study of today. Thank You for this Digging Deep.

And for everyone who has Prayed the Salvation Prayer, I ask of You my Father: Save them today and carry their Burdens, in the Name of Jesus!

Let their names be written in the Book of Life; and let them walk with You!

For ALL the Saints who are linked up and are reading now on the Label of DMC;

Please, You have commanded that: “We should Cast all our Burdens.”

As they cast their burdens to You today, Please, receive them and let the Name of the Lord be Mightily Glorified

Heal those who are Sick, Deliver the oppress, Save them and deliver them from all kinds of Predicaments.

And Please, remember this Nation and let Your Will be done!

Thank You Eternal Father!

And when all is said and done, let us make it to Heaven.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we Pray – Amen!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we Pray – AMEN!

Today, we want to look at: “BREAKING THE BOUNDARY”

I am going to read from the same Book, but two (2) Readings.2 Kings 6:24-28 and 2 Kings 7:1-7.

I read:

2 Kings 6:24-28:

24 And it came to Pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his Host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.

25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an Asses head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for five Pieces of silver.

26 And as the king of Israel was Passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.

27 And he said, If the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? Out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?

28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.

I JUMP to 2 Kings 7:1-7:

1 Then Elisha said, Hear ye the Word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the Man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would make windows in Heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

3 And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?

4 If we say, We will enter into the City, then the famine is in the City, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the Host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the Camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost Part of the Camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.

6 For the Lord had made the Host of the Syrians to hear a noise of Chariots, and a noise of Horses, even the noise of a Great Host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their Tents, and their Horses, and their Asses, even the Camp as it was, and fled for their life.

May the Lord bless the reading and hearing of His Word – Amen!

We can as well close, reading this alone; but we are going to talk about: BREAKING THE BOUNDARY.

WHAT IS BOUNDARY?

Boundary is something that Limits you!

It limits your Ability, it limits your Potential, it Hinders you from Expansion.

Limit is what makes you Unmovable, unprogressive.

Many People say it’s because of this, it’s because of that! I will not do this, and I will not do that!

And so many People have been stagnated in life – They are stagnated Spiritually, they are stagnated Financially, they are stagnated Physically, they are stagnated Emotionally!

… Even in their Marriage, there has not been major Progress.

Somebody said – What can I do?

It is up to God anyway! It is not up to God alone; it is up to YOU.

The story we read – The People of Israel; they locked themselves in.

When you looked at that story -They locked the Gate, they locked the Door.

And these were Farmers! They had massive Land – Very Good land outside the Gate. Because they were besieged, they said,: ‘We can’t go!’

Only the leprosy men after the declaration of the Word of God went!

I want to quickly examine from that particular Passage, about: SEVEN (7) THINGS YOU CAN USE TO BREAK THE BOUNDARY.

1. The first (1st) thing we need to know from this Story, is the fact that:

Your case is not DIFFERENT, what you are going through is not PECULIAR.

In the Book of Ecclesiates 1:9, it says: “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no New Thing under the sun.”

… There is no NEW THING under Heaven.

May I say to you that life is not easy; but we have to face it.

Don’t allow Unpleasant situations to rob you of your Great Future. People may not want to stand with you; but when you stand alone, you win alone.

This you will see, as we continue with this Teaching.

The woman with the Issue of Blood – Nobody was with her! She moved her way through and she got her Miracle – Mark 5:25-34.

Nobody was there to help Bartimaeus – He navigated his way through to Miracle – Mark 10:46-52.

What are we saying?

Your case is not DIFFERENT, stop weeping in the cell of isolation.

No! Your case is not DIFFERENT – That is Number 1.

2. The second (2nd) Lesson: Learn to face REALITY; never Pretend that the situation doesn’t exist.

Life is full of CHOICES; Everything is full of RISK.

Matthew 10:39, Jesus Himself said: “He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.”

Matthew 16:26 says:

“For what is a man Profiteth, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own Soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul?”

So you need to do away with sentiment. You need to do away with cover-up, you need to do away with Pretence, you need to do away with deception.

And all these must stop if you will Break Boundary – It is only Christ that gives you S.G.R (SECURED GUARANTEE RISK).

If you leave every other things in life and would come to JESUS CHRIST; you are SECURED.

That’s why you shouldn’t just be on this Platform and be hearing great Messages that God is releasing from our father-in-the-Lord and still remain the same!

So, you must prepare to face challenges; you must dare challenges of your life – Hence, you need to to that!

3. The third (3rd) Lesson: Famine is IN the City but not OUTSIDE the City.

Look at 2 Kings 6:25, Famine was in Samaria (not outside)! Because next to them are the Syrians and other Cities around them.

May I say to you: “Challenges of life don’t kill, they only create Opportunities.”

… Challenges are Ladders for Expansion.

When you read 2 Kings 6:26-28; everybody was in Problem. No one was Immuned!

Everybody will one day or the other face challenges!

In this Particular story, even the King was helpless.

And I Thank God we have a Scripture in the Book of Isaiah 43:1-3:

1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

2 When thou Passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

It means one day, challenges will come!

But all you need to do is: don’t ISOLATE yourself. Look out for something you can do!

… Famine is in the City, but not OUTSIDE the City.,

There is always a Solution to what you are going through.

4. Get away from what is Familiar, Get away from what is Comfortable, Get away from what is Convenient.

… Take a Good Decision for your life!

I like what Micah 6:1 says: “Hear ye now what the Lord saith; Arise, contend thou before the Mountains, and let the Hills hear thy voice.”

You are commanded to ARISE.

Isaiah 60:1 says: Arise, Shine!

Get ready, don’t fold your arms; do something. Take a bold step – move forward.

The devil is the only enemy that would not want you to move. He would not want you to change your Position.

And you know WHY?

Because you know his three (3) fold Mission. – John 10:10 says: “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:”

He wants to STEAL your Joy, he wants to KILL your success and he wants to DESTROY your life at the end of the day.

But Thank God, the Part B of that John 10:10; Jesus says: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more Abundantly.”

Psalms 23:5B says: “Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.”

John 10:28 says: “And I give unto them Eternal Life; and they shall NEVER Perish, neither shall any Man Pluck them out of my hand.”

So what are we saying? – You need to get away from.the Familiar, get away from the Convenient get away from the Comfortable.

5. You need to Get OUTSIDE the Fence.

According to the story we learnt only the four (4) Lepers moved out of the Catchment Area.

Hear what the Lepers said to themselves in 2 Kings 7:3 – “And there were four leprous men at the entering of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?”

They said, it’s better to die in Motion than to die while stationed.

And as they MOVED – God moved with them.

You need to get Outside the Fence.

You know why? God believes in New Things.

Isaiah 43:18-19 says;

“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a New Thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”

I came to announce to you and even those reading now on the Label of DMC: You need to get ready for your Miracle!

The Mighty God has Purposed to do Mighty Things in your life and no man can stop it.

And He wants you to do what No Man can do; so that No Man can stop it.

Forget the Old Thing; the Lord is set to do a NEW THINGS.

So much so that you will not remember the Pain of your Past again – Amen!

In Revelation 3:8, He says: “I have set a door open for you.”

So what is He saying? – It is available, it is obtainable. No one can shut the door.

By Divine Plan, no one can shut the door against you. The door is open. Your door is open!

I am talking about BREAKING BOUNDARIES. There are Boundaries you need to break!

… I will soon come to the Instruments of Breaking Boundaries.

6. Don’t Stop at the Bus Stop of DISCOURAGEMENT.

The devil is an expert Producer of discouragement – One of His products is discouragement.

So, don’t stay in the company of the familiar; like I said – It is the enemy of New Things. Satan would do anything to discourage you.

May I say: There is not a Single Patriarch, Saint, that wasn’t discouraged.

Jesus was on the Mountain in Matthew 26. He said “If it is Your Will.”

Elijah, in 1 Kings 19, was discouraged: “My life is not better than my fathers, kill me.”

These were outstanding Prophets in the Bible. At certain times in their lives they were discouraged.

Just as I said in the beginning; the case is not Perculiar to you alone. “The rich also cry.”

David, in 1 Samuel 17:28 – It was Eliab his elder brother who got angry with him. He brought food for them, yet they were angry with him.

Why was Eliab angry with David?

“And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy Pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.”

Don’t allow the devil to discourage you. Even if there is no one to encourage you, do like David in 1 Samuel 30:6:

“And David was greatly distressed; for the People spake of stoning him, because the Soul of all the People was grieved, every Man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.”

… He encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

People may not be there, because they can’t enter into your emotions; they don’t know what you are going through. But encourage yourself in the Lord and don’t be discouraged.

When David eventually killed Goliath; I wondered what Eliab would be saying, and where he would hide his face.

Do not use words of criticism on anyone because you don’t know what God has configured in them.

Hear what Nathaniel said: “Can anything Good come out of Nazareth?” But the brother said “come and see.”

Mind what you say about others because you don’t know what God has Packaged in them. And you yourself must refuse to be discouraged.

7. God never calls you to do what you CAN do; but what you CANNOT DO.

… So that His Ability can come into Action.

If you can do it, you don’t need God. If you cannot do it, then ask Him.

He doesn’t call you to do what you can do; rather He calls you to do what will display His Abilities.

In Isaiah 59:19 He says: “When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a STANDARD against him.”

In 1 John 4:4 He says: “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”

In Joshua 1:6, 7 and 9, two (2) great words were used.

God told Joshua, Be Strong and of a Good Courage: Only be thou Strong and very courageous; Have not I commanded thee? Be Strong and of a Good Courage;

Let me say this to you: “Everyone who wants to BREAK BOUNDARIES must graduate from the WAR (Battle) College of God.”

David is an example; he went to the War College before becoming a King – Even before he ascended the Throne.

WHAT WERE THE THINGS DAVID ENCOUNTERED IN THE WAR COLLEGE OF GOD?

1. Lion and Bear (ALONE). – 1 Samuel 17:34-37.

… There comes a time when you need to be ALONE.

2. He FACED Goliath.

In the midst of opposition and discouragement, he faced Goliath.

They belittled his effort. And that’s found 1 Kings 17:37-51.

When you look at 1 Samuel 18, I’m sure verses 5-11 would be okay!

When David defeated Goliath, King Saul was against him. Because the women sang: “Saul has killed a thousand, David has killed ten Thousand.”

In 2 Samuel 2:8-11, and 13-17; there was ENVY. Abner – they deceived him!

These are things you need to learn and master before you can ascend the Throne.

In 2 Samuel 5:17-25; David had to face the Philistines.

In the War College, there are few Subjects you need to master before Graduation. Hence, it is time to move (for God)!

And until all of us who are called by the Name of the LORD saturate our Nation with Good News; no meaningful change can take Place.

The Politicians cannot give us any Change. If you think they can change anything, just watch – the Roads, all your bogus Promises. None are being delivered!

That tells us: Only God can make Promises and fulfil them – Hence the Bible says ‘CURSED is any man who trusts in Human Being.’

It took four (4) Lepers to bring Deliverance to a City. But the Anointed of God sat in the City with the Problem!

Four (4) Lepers went outside the City in search of Solution; while those who were Anointed sat in the City.

Because Prayers without accompanying Action is an exercise in futility.

HOW CAN WE BREAK BOUNDARIES?

1. Hold tightly to the Word of God.

2 Kings 7:1, the Man of God said: “Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.”

… So you need to hold tightly to the Word of God.

Hebrews 4;12 says: “For the Word of God is Quick, and Powerful, and Sharper than any twoedged sword, Piercing even to the dividing asunder of Soul and Spirit, and of the Joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

In the Book of Jeremiah 23:29, the Bible says: “Is not my Word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in Pieces?”

And that’s why the Word of God is Supreme! Don’t give in to the report of the devil – Develop a Right Mentality.

In the Book of Proverbs 23:7, the Bible says: “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:”

It takes a Good Mentality to contend successfully.

Ten (10) out of the twelve (12) Spies who went to spy the Land of Promise, never got there because of their Mentality.

They said: “We are like Grasshoppers.”

And God said: Okay, you are free! – Numbers 13:31-33.

… RIGHT MENTALITY!

3. Determination

Ephesians 6:13-14. It says:

“Wherefore take unto you the whole Armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;”

It takes determination to Break Boundaries; and you can break your own Boundary.

David determined that “I’m going to kill Goliath.” And he did it!

Daniel said, although I am in the land of Captivity, I am going to be Promoted. And he got it!

4. Have FAITH in God.

Have Faith in God, because to break Boundaries, you need Faith.

1 John 5:4 says:

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the Victory that overcometh the world, even our Faith.”

Your Faith is the thing that conquers the world; your Faith is what brings you Victory. Faith is a substance – Hebrews 11:1

In Job 13:15, a man going through turbulence said: “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.”

… Keep holding unto to God.

5. Make God’s Kingdom your Top Priority.

There is no Kingdom without a King; and God is the King of His Kingdom. And we are Part of His Kingdom.

In Malachi 3:16-18, the Bible says: Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a Book of Remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon His Name.”

Jesus declared in Matthew 6:33: “But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

6. VIOLENT PRAYERS.

One of the Prayers you should be Praying is that: “God will deliver you from CONVENIENT BONDAGE.

Stop managing situations.

Violent Prayers!

In Like 18:1, the Bible says: “And he spake a Parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to Pray, and not to Faint;”

When you Pray, you Prevail; If Nothing succeeds in breaking Boundaries, Prayer will.

The Bible says: It is “The effectual fervent Prayer of a Righteous Man availeth much” – James 5:16B.

James 5:16-18 talks about Elijah Praying that there will be no rain.

In Matthew 17:21, add Fasting to it – “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by Prayer and Fasting.”

7. Create a Joyful Atmosphere around yourself.

Proverbs 12:25 says: “Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a Good word maketh it glad.”

But I like Proverbs 15:13 and 30. Which says: “A Merry heart maketh a Cheerful countenance: A Good report maketh the bones fat.”

Joy is contagious, Joy is infectious and can easily influence others. So learn to say: “IT IS WELL.”

We need to learn to Sing this Song always – IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL.

1. When Peace, like a river, attends all my way,
   when sorrows like sea-billows roll,
   whatever my Path, you have taught me to say,
   ‘It is well, it is well with my soul.’

REFRAIN
‘It is well with my Soul,
it is well, it is well with my Soul.’

2. Though Satan may buffet, though trials may come,
   let this calm assurance control:
   that Christ knows my Need and my helplessness here
   and has shed his own blood for my Soul.
3. The Joy, O the Joy of this Glorious thought!
   My sin, not in Part but the whole,
   is nailed to his Cross and I bear it no more;
   Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, O my Soul!
4. For me it is Christ, it is Christ now to live!
   Though death’s waters over me roll,
   no fear shall be mine, for in death as in life
   you will whisper your Peace to my Soul.
5. But, Lord, for your coming in Glory we wait;
   the Sky, not the grave, is our Goal;
   the trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall descend:
   bless the Lord, bless the Lord, O my soul!

We are going to Pray that: the Holy Spirit will order our steps, deliver us from Convenient and Comfortable bondage.
