MATTHEW 1:21-23 – 21
in heaven, He hears and answers. When you pray for children as Hanna prayed for a child, He answers your prayers, when you pray for sanctification that takes us from earth right to the presence of God in heaven, He will hear and answer when you ask Him with the whole of your heart.
- The Possession of Entire Sanctification (Hebrews 13:12-14; 1 John 3:3; 4:17-18; 2 Corinthians 3:18)
1 John 3:3. If you are going to purify yourself, you will take yourself to the Purifiers and Sanctifier, and stay there until you are sanctified.
ch 4:17. Love is very important because Jesus commanded us to love one another as He loved us. But the love goes up and down, depending on our moods. But when God purges our hearts, our feelings will not depend on what is happening around us, what we feel, think, what people do or do not do. Our love is made perfect because as Christ is, so are we in this world.
Look at the love of Jesus still unshaken despite all He went through. He knew ahead that all those things would happen, yet, He kept on loving the people. He healed the ear of the servant of the chief priest despite His imminent arrest. He was beaten and scourged, yet, He was not moved. This is how we behave when we possess entire sanctification.
There is no fear in love. After sanctification, our lives are changed. When our neighbours come to entice us to sin, we refuse, but we don’t fear them. We must love as Jesus loved – love without fear. He loved the Pharisees but was not afraid of them. When Pilate asked Him all kinds of questions, He kept quiet. Then he said he had power to convict or free Him, He did not take offense because Pilate had no such power. When God sanctifies, He also purifies and saves us from fear because it has torment. When you don’t fear, you love freely, you love the sinners, persecutors and opposers, but fear is gone out of your heart towards them. You may be misunderstood, but you keep on loving them.
When you fear, you develop heart problem, high blood pressure, it might shorten your life because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. What will your life, progress and usefulness be if you fear no one on earth and you just love everyone all times? You will succeed and climb the highest mountain in Jesus name.
- THE SMITTEN SUCCOUR OF THE SICK (Hebrews 2:9,14-15,19; Isaiah 53:4-6)
Jesus came to save us from sin and it’s consequences. He came to heal us from all our sicknesses. He succours, supports, strengthens and sustains us.
Hebrews 2:9. At every point in time in your life, you will see Jesus no matter what comes your way. He tasted death for everyone.
vs 14. Through death, He destroyed him who has power over death. I want to ask you – Is satan as powerful now as he was in the old testament? Definitely not. Some people pray as if satan is still as powerful as he was in the garden of Eden. They pray as if they are still in the days of David, when he did wrong and thousands of people died. Many people pray and see satan as powerful as he was in the gospels, before Christ went to the Cross. They never took note of what Christ did on the Cross.
When you have headache, don’t give the credit to the devil, it may be that you didn’t sleep enough and need to rest more. You have constipation, running stomach as a result of over-eating or not taking proper care of what you are eating, or you did not drink enough water, don’t give credit to the devil because he has no power over you anymore. You are free in Jesus name.
If you are thinking of the devil all the time – human beings do some things and you attributes them to the devil. Having the right perspective about things will give you victory in your life and you will be be more than conquerors in Jesus name!
vs 15. You are saved, sanctified and the power and presence of God is with you, yet you don’t know that satan is defeated, you are still afraid and cannot walk or live freely and you feel satan is behind the door or around you all the time. You are free tonight in Jesus name!
vs 18. For the fact that Jesus Himself was tempted and overcame, He is able to succour all who are tempted. He will support, sustain and lift you up, and the Red Sea will not drown you in Jesus name.
- Thorough Deliverance from the Consequences of Sin (Galatians 3:13-14; 1 Peter 2:24; Luke 4:18-19, 32,36; John 5:5-9,14)
Galatians 3:13-14 “13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” There will be a fulfilment of the promises in your life in Jesus name!
- Triumphant Dominion and Cure of All Sicknesses (Matthew 8:16-17; 12:15; 14:14; Isaiah 53:4-5)
Every sickness in your body is healed in Jesus name!
Matthew 8:16-17 “16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.” It is done in Jesus name!
- Total Destruction of the Crucibles of Satan (1 John 3:8; Colossians 2:14-15; Hebrews 2:14-15; Acts 26:18)
Crucible is a container where you pound something or melt it into liquid. Satan is so wicked and merciless, he has no compassion or love. In the Old Testament, he put them and pounded them in crucibles but he cannot do that to you. All crucibles of satan is totally destroyed out of your life, health, strength, power, ability, agility, skill. Walk like the child of the King, you are more than a conqueror in Jesus name!
1 John 3:8 “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” His works are destroyed in your brain, body, projects, profession, on your wife, husband, children, mother, father, all the works of the devil are destroyed.
I remember when we were at Taraba some years ago, there was this young man of 23 years of age, who was paralyzed and moved about on a wooden board rolling about on small tyres. In the message, I declared that Christ has given us victory and that if they believed on Him, all the works of the devil will be destroyed in their lives. As we began to pray, that man stood up and began to walk, raising the wooden board for all to see.
We finished the Crusade and the people knew that it was the last day, and we had said goodbyes, and some people laid three paralyzed people beside the door of the car. The head of security was scolding them so sharply but I told him to not worry, so I said to the men one by one, “you are healed, you are healed, you are healed!” and I entered the car and was driven away quietly. As we got to the gate, I heard shouts and we stopped. I asked what the shouting was about and I was told that all three men got up healed as I decreed.
It is your time now to partake of the blessing. Rise and tell the Lord that you are the first partaker and beneficiary of the power of Christ and it will happen!
