TOPIC: DO YOU WANT TO BE BLESSED? 

It is God’s will that everybody be blessed. It does not matter who you are, God wants you to be blessed. It does not matter how young or how old you are, God wants you to be blessed. It does not matter what race, color, ethnic, or nationality background you may be, God wants you to be blessed. It does not matter what gender you are, it does not matter how much education or money you have, it does not matter if you are single, married, separated, widowed, or divorced, God wants you to be blessed. It does not matter what part of town you may be living in, God wants you to be blessed. It is not God’s will for you to be cursed, but it is God’s will for you to be blessed.

Now to be blessed by God, there are some things that we must do.

1. The first thing that you should do if you want to be blessed by God is that you must Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. 

To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ means to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, it means to rely on the Lord Jesus Christ, it means to hope in the Lord Jesus Christ, it means to have confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ, and it means to have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. To receive your blessing from the God, you must believe on Christ because Hebrews 11:6 says, “Without faith, you cannot please Him, for He that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” And also, in Psalms 37:3-4 it says, “Trust in the Lord and do good so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord and he shall give you the desires of your heart” So if you want to be blessed by God, you must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.

TODAY YOU ARE CHOSEN BY GOD TO BE BLESSED AND TO BE A BLESSING IN JESUS NAME.

TOPIC: Miracles

Acts 19:11 - Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul

1. Miracles are secondary to the Gospel

Matthew 6:33 - But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you

2. Miracles draw a crowd

John 6:2 - Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased.

3. Miracles reinforce the message of the Gospel

John 2:23 - Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did.

4. Miracles demonstrate God’s compassion

Mark 1:41- Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”

5. Miracles test our hearts

Numbers 14 – 22 - Because all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now these ten times, and have not heeded My voice, they certainly shall not see the land of which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected Me see it. But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.

6. Miracles are for today

1 Corinthians 12:28 - And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.

Miracles killers

1. Misplaced priorities

Matthew 17:19 - Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”

2. Faltering faith

Matthew 17:20 - "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ’Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Luke 13 – 18 - Then He said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? 19“It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

3. Lack of Effective Prayer

Mark 9:29 - So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.”

4. Fear factor

Job 3:25-26 - For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me. I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for trouble comes.”

THIS WEEK YOU WILL NOT MISS YOUR MIRACLE IN JESUS NAME.

TOPIC: Benefits of God's Mercy

“Love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because God is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” (Luke 6:35-36 NIV)

The benefits of God’s mercy include peace, love, and joy. None of the behaviors Luke speaks of come naturally. In Christ, mercy and truth meet together. Christ-centered people see the world through His perspective, and His love flows through their lives. When we are merciful to others, it brings their hearts, and ours, joy. When we submit to His merciful ways, we choose to acknowledge peace. Apart from Christ this is impossible. Thankfully, His mercies are new every morning. 

Psalm 86:15-16 says, “But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. Turn to me and have mercy on me; show your strength on behalf of your servant; save me, because I serve you.”

IN JESUS NAME MERCY WILL SAVE YOU FROM ALL EVIL THAT IS PLANED AGAINST YOU.

TOPIC: Because of Mercy

“The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV)

God’s plan stems from His merciful love for His people. Knowing there was nothing we could do to earn our way into His presence, He made a way through the crucifixion of Christ. Defeating death, Jesus opened up access to God for us. Through prayer, God’s Word, and the Holy Spirit living in us, each day brings fresh new mercy. Every morning, God is faithful, even though every day, we fall short. Mercy is God’s gift to the repentant heart. The following verses define this element of God’s love:

“You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.” (Psalm 86:5 NIV)

“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions- it is by grace you have been saved.” (Ephesians 2:4-5  NIV)

“He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.” (Titus 3:5 NIV)

IN JESUS NAME MERCY WILL OPEN DOOR OF FAVOUR FOR YOU AND YOU WILL FORGET YOUR PAST SUFFERING
