HOW SHALL THESE THINGS BE


TEXT: Luke 1:34-35
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

MESSAGE
Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible says, a young virgin who has never known a man receives a strange visitor who turns out to be an Angel that came to tell her strange and impossible things. How could a virgin give birth to a child without having any form of sexual relationship? But such was the message that this young girl--who was likely not up to 25 years old--received. It was evidently and impossible arrangement. But the angel explained a process. He said, " The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee".

When the Holy Ghost comes upon you, every impossibility becomes possible. I don't know what looks so impossible for you today. Have you been given a vision, a mission, an idea, an assignment or a ministry and you are asking, "how can these thing be?" Some of us have become aware that we are to be lights in our very corrupt environment, compounds, work places homes, cities and even our nations. We have also noticed that if our country must change for good, we, the children of God must arise. But when you see the level of darkness and corruption around you,  you are tempted to say "how shall these things be?" Hear yea God's arrangement!

"The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee": That God-size project; that vision that you have for the next phase of your life that seem totally impossible; business proposal that seem too big to be real, the Power of the Highest will bring it to past. Wait on God. He has a plan. Your eyes shall see it unfold and you shall testify in Jesus Name.

PRAYER
Thank you Father because the Power of the Holy Spirit is available to help me fulfil my vision, mission and destiny

Father, today, I repent of trying to do your will by my strength and wisdom

Father, overshadow me with the Power of the Holy Spirit to fulfill the assignment and vision you have given to me

I pray for the church that you would teach us to depend solely on you that the fullness of your power might flow through us to the world

Father show forth your might in this country that men may see and glorify your name

GO IN THIS THY MIGHT

TEXT: Judges 6:14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? MESSAGE: While Gideon was still sckeptic of ever being able to engage his oposition in battle God gave him the battle instruction. God already told him that His presence with Gideon will ensure his easy victory. But he added one very key instruction that ties up everything together. He said GO IN THIS THY MIGHT What might was the Lord talking about? This might God says is the presence of the Lord by which he will defeat the enemy as though they were just one man (Judges 6:16). The Lord was saying that he should advance against his opposition being strong in the Lord. We shall explore this phrase in a couple of days, but one thing that we must get today is that we must go in the strength of God alone. There is always a tendency to engage your challenges with other forms of strength. It is wrong to engage your challenge...

SEIZE THE MOMENT 2: HOW TO ESCAP JUDGEMENT

Image
TEXT: Luke 23:39-42   39  And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.  40  But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?  41  And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.  42  And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. MESSAGE The malefactor (as he is called in our text) is actually crucified and facing his last moments on earth, he seizes the moment. In one desperate cry he turned the course of his destiny. He is on the brink of everlasting torment in hell. But just before he falls into eternal doom, one sentence saves him. He calls to the Lord. He didn't have the time to weep over his sins and the consequence. He had an audacity of faith and dared to ask for life in paradise. Guess what? He g...

THE MANUAL FOR ETERNAL LIFE

TEXT: 2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness MESSAGE Most people today, especially in this part of the world, buy appliances and never bother to go through the manual. The result is that they either soon damage the appliance or grossly under utilize it. Someone once bought a very expensive android tablet and all he could do with it was to make and receive calls. he ran everywhere to send e-mails. He spent hours at business centres trying to get his documents typed. Many other things he suffered because he never knew that his tablet could be used to solve all of those issues. In much the same way, when we receive eternal life into our spirits, it will be foolish of us to just assume that we know what to do with it. Just as the wisest thing anybody that bought an applicance would do is to check for the manufacturer's instruction in the manual, so also...
