Dispensing of health. You can be fit working in the gym but health comes from the Lord. As sure as the stripe fell on you, as sure as your health.
It is a turn around for you! Turn around for your relationship, health, financial! Turn around!
This is a service of receiving. Dead spot coming alive. God who call those things that are not as though they are. Dead spot as a result of aging, coming alive again!
God quickens the dead! Dead spots be restored, be quickened! Coming alive again! God who quickens the dead! Dead spots in your memory banks, coming alive again. He is restoring your memory!
Dead spot be quicken again in Jesus’ name!

Don’t doubt and start thanking Him again.
Every time you have memory lapse you start thinking the worse. Because you are in the service tonight, you are going to go out changed!
This is a house where revelation and bread of life flowing like mighty river!
The revelation is meant for you, you will hear it repeated to you over the week.
When water come out from the source it is very fresh
We are transformed by beholding! The beauty of holiness. We are transformed by beholding and not struggling.
Experience the love of Christ in your heart. Focus on my revelation. Do i know i am the one whom Jesus loves. We forgive because He first forgive us.
We are prince and princess. We don’t take offend easily. Forgive and don’t hold grudges
We are above that. We are above people calling names.
Stones are thousands and gold are not.
If you are gold, act like gold.
Romans 8:28-29
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Perceive it. See it from inside.
Do you know all things work together for good? Something are really bad but He will work all things together for good.
Everything that is happening, greatest prosperity, to make you more like Jesus.
Jesus is never poor.
Prosperity is when there is a need, God supply us
Your children respect you, that is prosperity
Are you looking more like Jesus?
To be conformed to Jesus’ image is beautiful thing!
He is the greatest One. He is tender but not soft. He is loving but does not spoil
When something bad happen to your life, God is on your side.
Don’t ask God why as if He is the problem. God is on your side.
The worse things that can happen is having religious thinking.
All your sins have been put away by Jesus.
If you are living in sin, God will deal with you but not using diseases. He will make things difficult. Things difficult is not giving you accidents.
Have you ever been in the situation whereby you meet someone like yourself?
You are impatient with the person.
When you submit to God’s disciplines, you live!
God loves you. When you submit to God’s disciplines, you live!
God does not let you get by with the sin that is hurting you. Don’t you feel special and loved?
John 10:28-29
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
They shall never perish.
Enlightened and tasted the goodness of God.
Taste and partake. Taste and drink it!
If they see the truth of the gospel been displayed and turn their backs, it will be deeper darkness than those who never heard.
Who you listen after is very important.
No one today will tell you you are completely under law.
What is happening is the mixture.
Let bible interpret bible.
John 6:39-40
This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
All (those who believed on Christ) of us will have everlasting life and He will raise us up in the last days.
God is a holy God but is God who so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son.
He so loved ! Love came first. It was God making payment to the justice!
God cannot receive sinful men without righteous foundation
Romans 3:26
to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
God is your justifier! God justify you
At the cross it is not put away, it is fulfilled!
God made Himself responsible as if He started the whole thing.
God is on your side. God is for you!
Romans 8:33
Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
You receive your body when the Lord returns. No more sin in that body.
Christ Himself is our righteousness
2 kinds of leadership
Leaders are hungry people. They want to receive more revelation because they have seen the light. They are readers and learners.
Many who turn up for Encounter Nights are leaders.
Saul was people’s choice. He was not God’s choice.
David was God’s choice.
When Saul was anointed by the same prophet, he anointed Saul with a vials of oil
1 Samuel 16:1
David Anointed King
Now the Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.”
David was anointed
God gives us eternal life and shall never perish
It is not our holding on that keeps us there. It is God who is holding on to us. No one can take us from Father’s hands. His hands are bigger than us.
Nothing you do can change the fact you are sinner.
What Jesus did is much more than what Adam did.
David was anointed with the horn of oil. Cross of Jesus’s mentality.
horn = grace mentality
Saul was chasing donkey. He was busy chasing what is freshly
Man in the flesh is like a wild donkey.
7 is the number of perfection.
1 Samuel 16:11
And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?” Then he said, “There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep.”
And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him. For we will not sit down till he comes here.”
When David was introduced to King Saul, he was sent by the father. A beautiful picture of Christ.
There are many Josephs, Mary in the bible but only one David.
David present to us the many picture of Jesus Christ our Lord
Where is He born the king of the jews?
Bethlehem
God will provide Himself a Lamb of God
1 Samuel 17:28
Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was aroused against David, and he said, “Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle.”
Those few sheep
They are the Father’s sheep.
1 Samuel 17:34
But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock,
We are His sheep! His responsibilities, not ours. He is healing us. We are the Father’s sheep.
You can be under a leader but is always under judgement mentality
David was a type of Christ.
God’s blueprint for leadership was never see who is good and pick them. Commit to faithful men. He shall be able to teach others.
Moses first 40 years was mighty. When he raise his hands at the red sea, this time he saved multitudes
What a Saviour!
1 Samuel 14:52
Now there was fierce war with the Philistines all the days of Saul. And when Saul saw any strong man or any valiant man, he took him for himself.
1 Samuel 22:1-2
David’s Four Hundred Men
(1 Chr. 12:16–18)
David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. So when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him. And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him.
3D –
Distress
Debt
Discontented
God gives us rest.
David became captain over them.
They became mighty men!
2 Samuel 23:8-10
David’s Mighty Men
(1 Chr. 11:10–47)
These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-Basshebeth the Tachmonite, chief among the captains. He was called Adino the Eznite, because he had killed eight hundred men at one time. And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel had retreated. He arose and attacked the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand stuck to the sword. The Lord brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder.
May you and the Word of God become one.
2 Samuel 23:20
Benaiah was the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man from Kabzeel, who had done many deeds. He had killed two lion-like heroes of Moab. He also had gone down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
Be careful who you follow. People with heart of sheep or heart for themselves.
1 Samuel 13:7
And some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead.
As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
In the presence of Saul, strong men become weak. In the presence of David, weak men became strong.
Heart for the King.
There are those who do things for the kingdom and there are those who do things for the king.
Romans 8:31
God’s Everlasting Love
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
If God is for us, who can be against us?
Who -> it is what. Whatever comes your way
What is used more often in the translation of
What can be against us, if God is for us
Have settled faith that God IS for me
And if God is for us, what can be against me?
God is for me. What can be against me?
What you are going through right now is temporary
God IS for me
GOD is for me
God is FOR me
God is for ME
What can be against me?
