BIBLE TEXT: JOSHUA 7: 2-12

Let Us Pray!

SONG

Immortal God
Invincible God
Immortal God, how Great thou Art.

OPENING PRAYER

Immortal, Invincible, the All-Wise God.

We Thank You because You are All Sufficient God – You know all things and You can do all things.

Thank You for everything that You have done for us in the Past and we Thank You for what You are going to do for us today – Please accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.

Father, it is written that You sent Your Words and it heals them.

As Your Words will be going forth today; let it bring Healings to Your Children.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah !

Well, greet one (1) or two (2) People and say: The Almighty God will surprise you today – Amen!

And then, you may Please be seated.

As we continue with Part 33 of our Series on: “For Whom The Heavens Open”.

We will be reading Joshua 7: 2-12:

2. And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the Country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
3. And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the People go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.
4. So there went up thither of the People about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
5. And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
6. And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
7. And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
8. O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
9. For the Canaanites and all the Inhabitants of the Land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the Earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
10. And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
11. Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my Covenant which I Commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
12. Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.

… Oh Lord have Mercy!

How I wish that we have several weeks to look at this Story alone. But we have so many other things to learn and so we will just do the little that we can do today on this Section.

The Message that we want to bring to your attention here is that: Israel shouted before the Wall fell in Joshua Chapter 6 and then they took over Jericho.

They shouted one Big Hallelujah and the Wall fell and they overtook Jericho – That Mighty City.

But do you noticed that after the Wall fell, and after they took over the City; there was no Thanksgiving Service – None at all.

They were willing to shout so that the Wall can fall and so that they can Match Straight ahead and take over Jericho.

And after Jericho was taken, the next thing that they thought was to keep going on and go and handle Ai – There was no Thanksgiving Service.

1. Learn that when God has given you a Victory, Praise Him!

Why? Because you will need Him again.

I. In Judges 15: 14-19; God gave a Great Victory to Samson – He used the Jawbone of an Ass to Slaughter thousands of his enemies and the rest fled.

And he boasted: Heaps upon heaps; look at me with the Jawbone of an Ass, I have killed a thousand People,

What was the next thing that he did? He threw away the Jawbone – He didn’t say Thank You, he didn’t Celebrate God but he just Celebrated himself.

And then, he became thirsty and then he cried to God – You gave the Great Victory to me and now this “Invincible Enemy” called Thirst is about to kill me.

And God, out of His Infinite Mercy said: I thought that you threw away the Jawbone. Pick it up again and out of the Jawbone came out water and he drank it.

… You will need God again.

II. In 1 Thessalonians 5:17; the Bible says that you are to Pray without ceasing.

But when you look at Verse 18 (1 Thessalonians 5:18); it also says that in everything, give Thanks.

Pray without ceasing is linked to Thanksgiving – Give Thanks without ceasing).

III. That is why you heard David say in Psalms 34:1 – He said that I will bless the Lord at all times, His Praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Why did he say that? Because he knew that after one Victory, you will need God again.

IV. In 1 Samuel 17: 34-51; David said that a Bear came, I killed the Bear; after that a Lion came, I killed the Lion and then after that, Goliath came.

You will need God again and so you need to learn how to Thank God at all times for everything that He has given you – Keep on Thanking Him!

V. Moses can tell you that in Exodus Chapter 14 – God opened the Red Sea, the Children of Israel Passed through on Dry Land. And they had a Thanksgiving Service in Exodus 15: 1-21.

After the Great Victory of Exodus Chapter 14, they had a Thanksgiving Service in Exodus 15: 1-21.

Why? You see the Elders has a saying:

A. They say that when you see a Hunter who returns from a Successful Expedition and he is making a Sacrifice; (Giving a Thanksgiving Service); it is not because of the animal he had already caught, it is because of the animals still remaining in the bush.

He is saying that if I’m Grateful this time, I will be able to catch more animals next time!

B. But then they also have another Proverb.

They said that you are working in the farm and then Rain fell and then you ran to a nearby Hut and they took you in to escape the Rain. After the Rain stopped, you walk out of the Hut and you didn’t say Thank You to the Owner.

They said that another Rain is going to fall and then you will come back to the same Hut.

… Learn to be Grateful

VI. Moses knew that after the Crossing of the Red Sea, Marah was on the way.

Exodus 15: 22-25, they came to Marah.

Marah now is not the case of “Opening up so that my People can Pass”; they are now thirsty and they now needed water to drink and the water they saw was bitter.

But because they had already given Thanks for the Miracle that had just happened, the Almighty God could say to Moses: Alright, I have Prepared the Solution to this ahead of Time – There is a tree here, take a Branch from the tree, throw it to the water and the water will become Sweet.

My Prayer for everyone of us who are True Children of God is that our Victory will Last forever – Amen!

Please, after every Victory, have a Thanksgiving Service.

2. Then we can move on to another Major Point here – And that is that the People came back to Joshua and said: Ai is small, don’t send the whole Army but just send three thousand (3,000) People will do.

And I believed that this is a very Special Message for those of you who are in Leadership Positions – Whether in the Church or anywhere else: “BEWARE OF OVERCONFIDENCE” as Overconfidence can kill.

When Joshua was face-to-face with Jericho, he didn’t send Somebody to go and survey; he went there by himself.

He was there by himself telling God how am I going to get through when the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in Joshua 5: 13-15.

But now, Jericho is down, Ai is small – I am Joshua, the Great Victor. I don’t need to go and see Ai for myself, let me send Somebody.

The Elders has a Saying that no matter how Wealthy you are, when it comes to the issue of going to the Toilet; you can’t send your Messenger as you have to go yourself.

There are certain situations in your Life that you can’t ask anybody to go and seek the face of God for you!

Please my Beloveth Children, learn from me:

Thank God for Prayer Warriors in our various Churches but it doesn’t matter how much they Pray; their Prayers cannot replace the Prayers of the Pastor.

I believed that all the Leaders of our Churches are Listening – It doesn’t matter how many People you have in the Prayer Band; God expects you to Pray as you are the “Set Man”!

We have thousands of Prayer Warriors who come around Particularly during the RCCG National Convention – And I mean thousands of them, Praying 24/7; and yet I go to the Prayer Room and I stay there.

That’s why you don’t see me much during the RCCG National Convention except when I have to Minister in the Evening because Somebody has to stay in the Presence of God!

Thank God for the Prayer Supports of all the Pastors, of all the Prayer Warriors et cetera et cetera; but God wants to hear from you – You are the “Set Man”.

Because like I have always said, when the Convention goes fine and Miracle happens and all is well, we all share in the Joy. But if anything goes wrong – And God forbids, they will blame only one Fellow and I’m sure you know who that Person is.

I remembered one Convention when it rained on the Holy Ghost Service Day (Friday); my People said, it rained today daddy. You are supposed to be in the Prayer Room (Laughters).

I told them, yeah I accepted. They must be saying: Well, you failed us.

I asked God, what happened? And he told me that there will be crowd that Night.

That means that He cooled down the Place because at that time, we had only the Old Arena and it couldn’t take all the crowd without some Cooling down.

• Anything goes wrong, the Chairman of the Company or Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will be held responsible.
• Anything goes wrong under your Watch as the Pastor, you are the one who will be held responsible.

There are things you don’t send other People to do for you – Praying is Number 1 of them!

Overconfidence can kill:

I. Overconfidence is what killed Samson.

In Judges 16: 5-21; Samson was so sure that who is this “Little Girl” called Delilah – I, Samson the Great Champion; killed thousands with Jawbone of an Ass. What can you this “Little Girl” do?

Because if you read that Story in Judges 16: 5-21; Delilah asked him Point Blank – What can we do to weaken you?

Samson said, well let’s Play a Game!

Overconfidence killed Samson!

II. And believe it or not, it was Overconfidence that killed Goliath.

In 1 Samuel 17: 41-51; Goliath looked at David and said: Am I a dog? You are coming against me with a Sling and a little Shepherd Stick? Do you know who you are coming to?

That was why he didn’t cover his face – He had a Shield big enough.

But he looked at David and said, I asked these People to send a Champion but they sent a Child.

You know the rest of the Story – He never lived to know the results of his Overconfidence.

III. 1 Samuel 2:9, my Beloveth; the Almighty God made it clear: By Strength shall no Man Prevail.

So, if God gives you a Victory, Please don’t arrogate the Success to your Cleverness, or Strength – No, No, No; it is God!

IV. 1 Corinthians 10:12, and the Almighty God says: You think you Stand? Take heeds lest you fall.

V. Oh, I’m moving from Glory to Glory because I’m living Holy and I’m doing all the Will of God et cetera et cetera.

How I wish that you will read Luke 4: 1-12?

When the devil tempted the Lord Jesus Christ and the Lord won hands-down. The Bible said that satan left Him (Jesus Christ) for a while looking for another opportunity.

You win? Congratulations! But remember that you are fighting an enemy who does not sleep nor slumber.

Because when you read Matthew 13: 24-28; the Bible tells us the Parable of a Man who sowed a Good Seed.

The Bible said that while Men slept, an enemy came to sow tares.

Thank God that we have a God who doesn’t sleep nor slumber.

That’s why in Isaiah 40: 28-31; the Bible says that, wait on Him and He will renew your Strength.

You don’t win and then say, now I’m the Great Conqueror! Ha, the enemy is always looking for another opportunity!

Lamentation 3: 22-23 says that it is of the Mercy of the Lord that we are not Consumed.

It is because He renews His Mercy every Morning, that is why we are here alive.

That is why the Bible says in Matthew 26:41 – Keep Watching, Keep Praying.

As we have learnt, those of us who attended the School of Disciples (SOD); the Greatest Time or the Most Important Time when you should be on the alert is after a Victory!

You have just won a Great Victory, hey Stand on your Watch!

I. You know the Story of Gideon in Judges 8: 22-27.

Gideon just won a Great Victory and then the devil tried to tempt him immediately.

The People came to him and say: Come and rule over us and he said no way. God is our King, and so don’t put me in trouble.

I’m sure that you will Clap for him – Good boy! He didn’t want to take the Glory of God to himself.

But almost immediately, the devil entered into him and told him, ask for their Gold. And he asked for Gold.

And he made an Ephod – An Ephod is a Special Thing that a Priest will wear.

He didn’t build a house with the Money o – It was an Ephod he made.

And the Ephod became an Idol that brought destructions to the house of Gideon.

… Watch and Pray!

II. You know the Story of David very well in 1 Samuel 8: 6-11.

It was when the People were returning from the killing of the Philistines after Goliath was dead that the People sang – Ha, King Saul had killed a thousand, David killed ten thousands.

That was when the “Real Problem” for David began – That was when the father-in-law became a Man who was throwing Javelin at him.

… Watch and Pray!

III. You know the Story of Peter in Matthew 16: 13-23.

When Jesus Christ said: Who do Men say I am?

And the Disciples said, some say that you are the Great Teacher; oh you are a Prophet and you ate this and that.

And Jesus Christ said: Who do you People (The Disciples) say I am?

Peter said that You are the Son of the Living God.

And Jesus Christ said, Congratulations as you are hearing from Heaven.

And then Jesus Christ began now to say, alright, I’m getting ready to leave – I have to suffer.

Immediately Peter who was now feeling that I can hear from Heaven, the devil jumped into him and he said: No Lord, You are not going to suffer and You are not going to die.

Do you know what the Lord said to him? – Get thee behind me satan.

… From the one who just got Revelations from Heaven, to the one now who is allowing the devil to speak through him,

Watch and Pray! Overconfidence can kill!

ALTAR CALL

And so, those of you who has not given your Life to Jesus Christ – Thinking that you can handle your Life yourself; you are being Overconfidence. You can’t handle the devil as he doesn’t sleep nor slumber.

If you don’t have the Almighty God who does not sleep nor slumber to help you; satan will make a Mincemeat of you.

But if you love yourself now, you will humble yourself by coming to Jesus Christ – He will save your Soul and become your Defender.

So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, bow down your head now so that I can Pray for you at this moment.

Let Us Pray!

PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER

My Father and my God, I want to Thank You for Your Words and I want to Thank You especially for those of you who has decided to Surrender their lives to You because they can’t face satan alone.

Father, Please receive them, save their Souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins and Please receive them into the Family of God.

And as from now on, begin to fight their battles for them.

And I Pray that anytime they cry to You from this moment, You will answer them by Fire.

And I Pray for all Your Children who are already Your Own, that from this moment onwards, anything called “Pride or Overconfidence” will become a Stranger to them.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

Now, I rejoice with those of you who has given your Life to Jesus Christ.

I want to assure you that from now on, I will be Praying for you.

So, Please go to the nearest The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Church to you – Tell the Pastor there that I sent you and he will tell you what to do next.

God Bless You!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!!!

SPECIAL RCCG ONLINE SUNDAY SERVICE

TOPIC: FOR WHOM THE HEAVENS OPEN – PART 32 (CASE STUDY OF JOSHUA (PART 19) – “THE POWER OF THE INDIVIDUAL”).

MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

DATE: 17TH DECEMBER 2023

BIBLE TEXT: JOSHUA 7:1

Let Us Pray!

SONG

Oh Glory, Glory, Glory to the Lord
Oh Glory, Glory, Glory to the Lord
Hallelujah
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna
Blessed be the Name of the Lord
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna
Blessed be the Name of the Lord

Oh Honour, Honour, Honour to the Lord
Oh Honour, Honour, Honour to the Lord
Hallelujah
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna
Blessed be the Name of the Lord
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna
Blessed be the Name of the Lord

OPENING PRAYER

King of Kings and Lord of Lords; we give You all Glory, all Honour and all Adoration for Your Goodness, for Your Mercy, for Your Support, for Your Supplies, for Your Defence and for everything that You have been to us.

Father, Please accept our Worship in Jesus Name.

Today, as we gather again to Worship You, We Pray that Your Glory will Shine forth, that Your Honour will be released upon our lives, that we will really have cause to Glorify Your Name again.

Thank You Almighty God.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

Well, you can shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: God will bless you Mightily today – Amen!

And then, you may Pleasee be seated.

As we move on to Part 32 of our Series: For Whom The Heavens Open – “For Whom The Heavens Open – Part 32”.

And we will move into Joshua Chapter 7 – What we should have done is to have read the whole Chapter because it is one Continuous Story but Verse 1 alone is enough for us to chew on today – Joshua 7:1.

Joshua 7:1 – But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the Tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel

Probably the first thing that you will noticed here is that when you sin against God, they will mention the name of your father, the name of your Grandfather and the name of your Great Grandfather.

When you do wrong, you bring blemish on your Heritage!

Here we have Achan the son of Carmi (That’s his father), the son of Zabdi (That’s his Grandfather), the son of Zerah (That’s his Great Grandfather). They even mentioned his Tribe – The Tribe of Judah.

That is why we have to be very careful as Christians because whatever we do, will affect Generations Past and some Generations even yet unborn – That’s Important!

But even more Significant is the fact that it was Achan alone that sinned but here the Story says that it is the children of Israel that committed the trespass!

… Just one Fellow sinned and a whole Natiom is accursed.

Infact when you go further, it says that: And the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.

I thought that it could have been that the anger of the Lord was kindled against Achan.

And so, we will love to spend some time today looking at: “The Power of the Individual”.

And this should interest you because you are an Individual.

The Action of an Individual can have tremendous consequences – Either for Good or for Evil.

1. Infact Romans 5: 12-17 tells us it is by one man’s sin that Death came to the world .

… One man sinned in the Garden of Eden and Death came to the world.

2. As we go through the Scriptures, you will discovered in Genesis 18: 17-33 that it is one man’s Intercession (Abraham) that brought Deliverance to the family of Lot.

He was the one who stood before God and began to intercede for a family of a Relation.

3. On the other hand, by the time you get to 2 Kings 5: 20-27; it was Gehazi who sinned when he lied against the Man of God to collect Money from Naaman.

But when the Prophet of God was going to Place a Curse on him, he said that the Leprosy of Naaman will cleave unto you and unto they Seeds forever.

Science today is just discovering the link between certain Sickness and Diseases and the Genes in the family.

You know in the Olden Days when People do not marry on the Internet – When Somebody goes to a family and says I want to marry your daughter. They will tell the Fellow, okay you can go and come back.

After he has gone, they will go and do a thorough Search on the family line – They want to know: Had there been a Leper in the family before? Has there been a case of Madness in the family before? Et cetera et cetera.

Why? Because if there had been a Leper in the family before, they know that sooner or later, another Leper is coming in that family line – It will flow in the Blood.

In the family of Gehazi, there will always be a Leper because the Man of God said that the Leprosy of Naaman will cleave on you and on your family forever.

Which explains why you that has not given your Life to Jesus Christ should even think about it seriously now because one thing that Salvation does for you is that it Changes your family line.

The moment you are Born Again, you are moved to the family of God!

And that is why if there is any Generational Disease flowing down the line from your Great Grandfather; the moment you becomes a Child of the Living God, the flow will now jump over you!

4. In Daniel 2: 1-end – Daniel alone brought rescue to all the Wise Men in the Land.

When a King had a Dream, forgot the Dream and told the People to gather all the Wise Men together – Tell me my Dream which I have forgotten and tell me the Interpretations. Or else, I will kill you all.

But Daniel sought the face of the Lord – God revealed to him the Dream and the Interpretations thereof and all the Wise Men were saved.

5. In Acts 27: 1-end – You will discovered that Paul the Apostle was in a boat with several other People who are Prisoners and there was a very terrible Storm. The Storm was so bad that for two weeks, they couldn’t even see the Sun and then they thought that destructions had come.

But when the Angel of the Lord came to visit Paul one night, he told him that you are not going to die and because of you; all those who are with you in the boat will be saved.

… One Man brought Salvation to all those who are travelling with him!

6. On the other hand, if you read John 1: 1-15 – The Bible tells us that God send Jonah on an errand. He said No, I won’t go and decided to go in the opposite Direction and he took a Ship. And because of him, a Mighty Storm came.

The People in the Ship were wondering why is this Storm so violent?

And while they were busy Praying, rolling hard, doing whatever they could; the Troublemaker was Sleeping.

When they woke him up, he said that I know why you are in the Storm – I’m the Problem Causer.

He told them the Solution – Throw me out of the Ship and your Problems will be over. They tried not to, but the Storm increased.

Finally, they picked him up, threw him out of the Ship and immediately all became calm.

Maybe one of the Prayers that you need to Pray today is that – If there is Someone in my family who is responsible for all the Problems you are having; that God will reveal the Fellow to you so that something can done about it.

7. When you read 1 Samuel 25: 1-35 – David sent a Message to a Man called Nabal; asking for food – Tell him that me and my men has been taking care of your flocks and we have not allowed anything to happen to them. Now, we need some food.

And the Man (Nabal) said: My food for you? I don’t know you! Get away from here.

David heard and said: Alright, let us go and deal with them.

But the wife of the Man heard and said: Ha, danger is on the way. Quickly, she got up, got some food and came to meet David on the way and begged David to just Please forgive for her sake.

You know the rest of the Story – David told her that for the fact that you came, there would have been Nobody left in your family by tomorrow.

… A Woman came and rescued her family – Action of one Individual!

DMC NOTES: The name of the woman in question (Nabal’s wife) is “ABIGAIL”.

8. And of course, when you read Acts 8: 5-8.

You will discovered that the Bible said that Philip went to the City of Samaria, conducted a Crusade there and brought “Great Joy” to the City.

… I can go on and on and give you Examples upon Examples.

9. Like in the case of David I 1 Samuel 17: 1-51.

For forty (40) days, Goliath terrorised a Nation. An Individual came on the scene and ended Terrorism for the Nation.

10. And if you read Genesis 50: 15-20; you will see how God used Joseph to rescue the world of those days from what could have been Total Calamity.

You want to say – What are the Applications of all these things because we can continue by even mentioning Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ who brought the Saviour of the world into the world and so on and so forth.

1. You can be a One-Man Army for the Lord.

When you read Ezekiel 22: 29-31; God said that when I look at the Land and I see bloodshed and I see the sin and I see all the horrible things that they are doing. I sought for a Man who will Stand in the Gap before me for the Nation so that I won’t destroy the Nation.

He said that but I found None.

• Could it be that God is looking for a Man to Stand in the Gap for your Nation?
• Could it be that God looked down from Heaven, sees all the atrocities going on in your Nation – The Killings, the Robberies, the Kidnappings; and He is looking for a Man/ an Individual?

In Isaiah 6:8; the Almighty God cried out and say: Who will I send? Who will go for me?

And Isaiah answered and said: Here I am, send me!

If God is asking today: Who will help? Who will intercede for the Nation? Who will be my Messenger?

Will your answer be: Here I am Lord, send me?

2. Don’t stop until every Members of your family is Born Again.

Why? Because one Sinner in the family can bring destruction to the entire family.

In Ecclesiastes 7:18; the Bible says: Wisdom is better Weapons of War but one Sinner destroys much Good.

If all of you are doing the Will of God and you are having a wonderful time and then there is one Individual in the family who is an Agent of the Devil, who can be used by the enemy; that Single Fellow can introduce Poison into the entire family!

3. And then, consider the fact that it is written – One will chase a thousand but two will put ten thousand to flight.

That tells us that if you are a Good Christian, Powerful, a Great Prayer Warrior – If you can find just one Individual added to you; then the effect of your “Combined Prayers” will be ten-folds.

If you can find one Individual who believes like you believed, who can Pray like you can Pray and the two of you team up; suddenly the effects of your Prayers will be Multuplied ten-folds.

Remember that it is written that if two of you shall agree concerning anything you ask on Earth; it will be done for you by Your Father in Heaven.

4. And of course, there is this Passage in the Bible that says: Let all the People Praise You Oh Lord, then God even our God will bless us.

Do you know the meaning of that?

If you are in a Congregation and maybe there are like a thousand and everybody is Praising God except one Fellow; the Blessings for the Congregation can be withheld!

Because the Bible says: Let All – And as far as God is concerned, all means all without exception.

So, you could imagine how many Blessings People have lost simply because there is one Individual in the Congregation who is not joining in the Praising of the Lord!

Let me begin to round up – And I have a word for those of you who are Sinners and who says: I can stop the Blessings of the family.

There is something called “The Law of Substitution”.

Proverbs 11:8 says that the Righteous is delivered out of trouble and the Wicked goes in its stead.

Do you know what that means?

If danger is about to grab Someone who is a Child of God, the Almighty God can apply the Law of Substitution – Rescue the one who is His Child and use you the Sinner as a Substitute.

I’m sure that you Probably heard the Story of Daniel in Daniel Chapter 6.

He was thrown into the Den of Lions. The Lions saw food coming and thought this is food for us and God says No, don’t eat this one as he is my Child. But wait, by tomorrow you will be fed.

The following day, Daniel was taken out of the Den of Lions alive and all those who conspired against him were fed by the Lions.

I don’t have time to tell you Stories but I can give you illustrations of People who are Children of God, who are snatched from the Jaws of Death and a Sinner in the family became a Substitute

ALTAR CALL

So, if you are listening to me today or reading now on the Label of DMC – Remember that God says in Revelation 3:20 that behold I Stand by the Door and I Knock; if any Man hears my Voice and will open the Door to me, I will come in to him and then we will dine together.

God is speaking to you as an Individual – He is knocking at the Door of your Heart. Please open the Door to Him before He begins to apply the Law of Substitution over you.

If you will bow down your Head now, call on God to save your Soul; I will join you in Prayers. The Almighty will save your Soul and you will become one of the Righteous Children of God and you will enjoy Divine Security from now on.

Let Us Pray!

PPRAYERS FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER

My Father and my God, I want to Thank You very much much for Your Words.

Thank You for revealing to us once again the Power of an Individual and Thank You because You are willing to save the Souls of Individuals who has decided to come to You today,

Father, Please receive them, have Mercy on them, wash away their sins Lord and as You are saving their Souls today; transfer them into the Family of God.

So any Generational Problems in their family, I Pray that from now on, they won’t be Partakers.

And I Pray that from this moment onwards, anytime they will call on You, You will answer them by Fire and that they will serve You till the End.

And I Pray Lord God Almighty, for all the family who are already saved, that by Your Special Grace, they will now arise for the Salvation of every other Souls in their family so that very soon, there will be no Sinners left in all our families.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

Now, I rejoice with those of you who has given your Life to Jesus Christ. I want to Promise you that from now on, I will be Praying for you.

So, I will advice you to go quickly to any Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) near you – Tell the Pastor that you have just gotten Born Again and he will tell you what to do next.

God Bless You!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!!!
