Restoration Restoration Restoration

On Sunday 31st July 2010 Pastor Adebo was about to round up the service when he suddenly proclaimed that God is saying Restoration, Restoration, Restoration. As soon as the words were spoken I knew within myself that these words were for me.

On the following Wednesday, 4th August precisely, the church prayed like never before during the service asking God to restore all that the devil had taken away. I told God that He already knows all that I need to be restored back to me. Pastor mentioned the same thing as we were praying so I knew the service was definitely for me.

I have been on an Agency contract for about three years, which is a bit unusual as a staff gets a permanent position within six months. When my line manager left in March I was made to do her job on the same pay I was previously earning. I did not complain but continued to do my job as diligently as before. My concern was that we should not lose the contract the agency had with the council.

I had a dream on the 5th and 6th of August in which I was blessed with so many things that I had to double the bags I was carrying I woke up with joy in my heart. On Friday 6th I returned from a lunch break to begin my work and one of the senior manager’s sent for me and asked if anyone had spoken to me about moving forward. I answered no!

Apparently, a board meeting had been held to determine which staff would be made redundant and which would become permanent. My name came up and the Director, approved me for a permanent position, saying, I thought I approved that name a long time ago.

The following day my senior manager called and apologised for the fact that they had ignored my efforts for so long. He informed me that they would first of all increase my pay then prepare the paperwork for my permanent contract. A few minutes later he called informing me that they had doubled my pay and backdated it by a few weeks. He also commended me for the fact that no complaints had ever been recorded against my name. The commendation surprised me as this manager has only been known for sacking people.

This pay increase may mean nothing to some people but to me it is proof that God has restored all the benefits due to me with the company I work for.

What I have been giving to the church rent fund has not been much but I remember Pastor saying that God will test you first to know how good we are with money before He will put any large amount in our hands. I then made the decision to double what I was giving for the rent. Lo and behold God has surprised me by giving me double restoration of pay. I believe that if I am faithful with what God has placed in my hand now He can use me to pay the £100,000.00 tithes that Pastor prophetically pronounced in July.

All things are possible with God. Praise, Praise Praise the Lord.

Awesome Deliverance From Prostate Cancer.

In November 2009, I was diagnosed with enlarged prostate gland. I was given a catheter.From then I continued to suffer persistent pain below my navel area which caused me to empty my bladder more often than normal. I did a series of urine test as the operation could not be done without clearing the trace of urine infection.

During the service of Friday, 13/8/10 I held on to the Pastor’s emphasis on health drawn from Deuteronomy 1:11 followed by his instruction that everybody should pray at home after the service that night between 1.00 and 3.00am. I got home, had some light food, set my alarm at 1.00am and went to sleep.

I got up, did my prayer for less than 30minutes claiming healing and went back to sleep .

Before 2.30am, I suffered a very, very sharp pain below my navel area which made me jump up. The next thing I heard in my spirit was ‘Run To The Toilet’. I obeyed and as I positioned my self to empty my bladder under pressure, the whole catheter with a force popped out, and I trembled in fear and amazement.

The devil ministered to me saying ‘so late in the night how do you get to the hospital for a replacement catheter, you are in trouble’. I ignored this rough message and held on to the healing power of God – and realised that all the pain had gone and from thence I have been emptying my bladder normally without a catheter.

Note too that my cousin and a relation in the US had agreed to pay for my flight to Nigeria for the surgical operation and also that a senior cousin in Nigeria promised to bear the cost of the operation, but my wife agreed with me to put everything on hold as I thought of my responsibilities at the Altar. Little did we know God had a healing plan for me.

God did it and the devil suffered a devastating and demolishing blow from the Holy Spirit – I am healed beyond medical explanation. Today I feel new.

My Heavens Have Opened

I have been out of a job since late last year.  But God has been persistently faithful throughout this time.  I kept on serving him in church as before and God has remained faithful.  A month has not gone by without me paying my bills and my family has never lacked  anything. Serving God, through your challenges has great rewards. My wife also recently graduated. I give God all the Praise

Bro G S

I welcome you to this  teaching on  SUPERNATURAL GROWTH. By understanding the season we are in, the time has come for us as Individuals to grow from within to without. If you don’t grow from within, your life will not grow outward.

Last month, we dealt extensively on Open Heaven and its blessing as we saw in Luke 3:21-22,

Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came Heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

The heavens were open and a voice was heard declaring Jesus Christ as the Son of God. The Heaven Opened when Jesus grew into maturity, but the Heavens were not opened until His son ship was declared after the Baptism. Son ship requires Maturity, Jesus was declared the son of God as a result of His Spiritual maturity. Open Heaven requires some degree of Maturity.

Spiritual maturity commands a measure of the Holy Spirit. It enhances a higher measure of the Holy Spirit. The more mature we become in God, the more the measure of the Holy Spirit power that will be released in our life. The level of our maturity is what determines the level of the Spirit of God that is released upon us as Sons of God.

Whenever the Heavens open, a measure of the Spirit power of God is released upon us and this release is determined by our maturity. It is not God that determines the level of measure of Spirit power that we walk in. It is our maturity that determines it. The more the Spiritual maturity we are, the more the measure of the Holy Spirit that will be released upon us.

We remain in the level we are because we have not taken the responsibility to our Spiritual maturity. Open Heaven is not possible without Spiritual Growth which is a degree of maturity. We also discover we cannot talk about Spiritual growth without the Holy Spirit.

In Acts 2:1-2
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place, and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

We saw that the arrival of the Holy Spirit brought about Increase as well as spiritual growth,
The disciples were about 120 people in the upper room before the coming of the Holy Spirit, but on the arrival of the Holy Spirit, they went from 120 to 3000 people.

In Acts 2:41,
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

This is Supernatural Growth.so  this dimension of growth its not possible without the holy spirit and  the father will not release this measure of holy spirit without  our maturity or personal growth. Luke3:21-22
This shows that we have to take responsibility for our spiritual maturity which will leads to our Spiritual growth. We must not forget that this growth of the church its just in one day  input of the Holy Spirit,the holy spirit can do the same in your career,business,work of your hand or in any areaof your desire. It means that we may never experience the blessing of the Spirit beyond, the level of our Personal growth.

Before the Pentecost explosion of the holyspirit that brought this supernatural growth the apostles has been going through  personal  development training under Christ for three years and  40 days intense training. Acts1:3 after resurrection.

HOW THEN CAN WE GROW SPIRITUALLY

The Spiritual growth is programmed. It does not just occur. There are two kinds of  growth  whether its biological or spiritual

The growth mentioned above follow two basic approaches:

1) FEEDING and 2) EXERCISE, These two approaches to growth are the principal element in the subject of growth.

FEEDING

In John 6:63
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

The word of God is the food of our Spirit man. We saw that the word of God is Spirit in written form, impacting life. It is God’s word that raised the level of your Spirituality. How much you are able to absorb the word of God will end up in your level of Spirituality or Spiritual growth. Spiritual growth begins with absorbing, receiving and swallowing the word of God. Feeding on the word of God is what makes us fit as stated.

In 2 Tim 3:15-17
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus? All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

If you must be used for God’s work, you must be furnished, your primary duty to maturity is to feed on the Word of God, your dept of knowledge determines your height in Glory,

In 2 Tim 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

To escape the shame of stagnation, you must study the word of God; It is only those who study the word, that will have something to show forth in their God

EXERCISE

There are basically many ways to exercise but we will be discussing 3 ways exercising your Spirit man

1) PRAYER

In Acts 6:4,
But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
You can exercise yourself in private prayers and Intercessions. It shows that as you pray, you are not only making request, you are developing your Spiritual man in the process. People that truly pray don’t misbehave when they come out from prayer room. Prayer does not just change situation, it also changes us

2) FASTING

In 2 Corinthians 4:16
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the  inward  man is renewed day by day.
Fasting fattens our spirit man. When you fast, you weaken your flesh and in so doing you fatten your inner man. Fasting shakes off all strangers within your spirit man for our spirit man to live

3) GODLINESS

We live in a contaminated world where many are with unclean lips like the Bible says

In 1 Tim 4:7,
But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
We have 3 kinds of people we encounter daily in the body of Christ. They are either DOGS, and WOLVES and SERPENT

DOGS
These are people that go back to their vomit

WOLVES
These are the one that take advantage of their brethren. They are unfriendly friends

SERPENT
These are hypocrites in the body of Christ. Who hides under a camouflage?

Godliness is able to help us to be free from all these vices and forms of carnality. As we give attention to these facts, our growth is guaranteed since the more we grow and mature spiritually, the more measure of Spirit power that will be increase in our lives for Spiritual growth.

God bless you in Jesus name

Open Heavens of Favour

During the week my landlord had asked someone to come and do some work in my house.  He requested that I give the person £100.  My landlord, to my utter surprise then asked me to forget about paying the rent for this month. God is truly a provider – Thank You Lord.

Wonderful God

A friend of mine told me about a work placement she was interested in.  He however told me that it seems that someone else had been earmarked for the position.  I stood in the gap and asked the Holy Spirit to move whoever it was and replace with my friend.  Lo and behold within a few hours of the interview ending.  He was called and given the placement.  Thank you Jesus

Heavens Opened and that which was Lost was Found

My mother comes from a country that does not have a consulate in Nigeria.  So when her passport expired sometime last year she sent all her documents down here to be processed.  During this time she has been unable to travel anywhere.  The Consulate processed the documents and passport and sent it to one of my brothers here for onward transmission to her.

A friend agreed to take the package on her journey back to Nigeria.  A day before she was to leave – she called to say she had not received the package.  Trips were made back to the post-office without success.

When my brother informed me – I said I belong to a church with a mandate of Recovery and that I had every faith that these missing documents will be found, I said how God will do it I don’t know but He will.  Lo and behold, last week, after about almost 6 months the package miraculously turned up.  This is open Heavens indeed. I Give God all the Glory.

My God is Worthy to Be Praised

My sister died of multiple ailments last year ranging from high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and other things.  On a visit to my GP all these ailments were found in my system.  I was given an array of pills.  I took this medication only once.  I turned to the Word, Psalm 41:1-3 and began to key into it. On my last visit to the GP all the symptoms had disappeared. I am truly recovered and delivered. Sis J M
