OPENING PRAYER
Father! We thank You for Your mercy that we have enjoyed since the beginning of our lives and in particular, since the beginning of this year. Many evils have happened in this year; terrible things, sorrowful things but we are grateful that You kept us away from such evil. You kept evil away from us, we are grateful for Your mercy, Your favour, Your compasion, Your grace, Your blessing, Your divine provisions, journey mercies all the time, we are grateful! For Your peace in our bodies, peace in our homes, peace in the church, peace in Nigeria, peace in Badagry, we thank You! That we can still gather to cry unto You, to worship You as we are doing this morning, we thank You. Receive our thanks in the Name of Jesus! Lord we have come for a morning of joy. Everything has been giving us pain until last night, everything that has been causing us sorrow; Father, this morning, take them away completely, do new things in our lives this morning, do those things that will cause us to sing new songs, do them in our lives in the Name of Jesus, everyone participating in this first edition of morning of joy in Lagos Province 31; Father, let them have at least one notable testimony to share in the Name of Jesus. Something memorable! Something great! Something joyful! Let them happen in our lives in the Name of Jesus! At the end, let Your Name be glorified, in Jesus Mighty Name we prayed!
*THE MESSAGE*
Good morning! Happy new month! Acts of Apostles chapter twelve(12), I will read from verse five(5) to eleven(11). I pray for someone this morning, everyone expecting evil news to break over you this month, they will be disappointed. Everyone thinking that you will wake up into another morning of pain, morning of adversity this October, the Almighty God who has organized this program for you will disppoint them, I say God will disappoint them!
Herod and jewish people planned that Peter and his church will wake up into mourning, into sorrow, into losses but God made it a morning of joy unto Peter and the church. I pray for you that this morning because you are here, your testimony will amaze your enemies in the Name of Jesus. Peter woke up into a morning of joy; he slept as a man hopeless thinking that as James one of the disciples has been killed by the same Herod(if you read from verse one). James a fellow disciple has been captured by this same Herod and he was killed. And when Herod saw that iwt pleased the Jews, he grabbed Peter also. And so, because of the antecedent of the Herod that arrested Peter "if my fellow brother has been captured by this same man and he was killed, who says I can escape?" So he was expecting that the same manner James was killed, he was going to be killed.
I pray, it doesn't matter how many people have died of that disease in your family, it doesn't matter the number of people have been reported dead by doctors, of the same kind of sickness you have in your body; I stand to announce this morning that that sickness will let you go!
The capture of Peter was like someone captured by what they call incurable disease. So the first thing we noticed was that the Bible said Peter slept. Someone knew that tomorrow morning, it has been decided that he will be executed, he slept? He slept giving up hope so much that when an angel walked in, the Bible said up till the time they came out of the prison, he was still thinking this will be a dream, "just an imagination of my heart". So much that an an angel touched him, he woke up, the angel had to say "stand up", he stood up, the angel said "follow me, put on your garment". Someone that should be looking for a way of escape, someone that should lose his sleep but he slept waiting for death.
*I pray for you this morning, if they have told you to manage that thing till it kills you; this morning, your release is announced in the Name of Jesus!
Now, Peter was able to sleep, why? *1. He didn't care if his parents will bury him or not, he was careless.* He had parents, remember there was a time Jesus visited him and met his mother inlaw. And so it is possible as a parent that you have a careless child somewhere; wether closeby of faraway who is not minding wether he will die or not, maybe he has joined cult, maybe he has been hooked on drugs;
I say because you are here this morning to be part of this church that will pray, those children shall be released in the Name of Jesus!
Peter was a husband to somebody.
*2. He cared less wether his wife was going to become a widow so so or not.* He slept
I pray for you, maybe your spouse even heard about many programs and this particular one and said "go, I'm not going", yet he has challenges, she has troubles, I am happy to tell you; because you are here, you are that partner(that wife, that husband) for whose sake God has determined that you will not bury your loved one. I thought you will say Amen!
So it is possible for you to have a careless husband who is still drinking. He has just gotten his salary and he came home late yesterday, you woke him this morning and he said "leave me alone, leave me alone(with a drunkard's voice), go pray for us, tell your pastor to pray for me. Peter tought there was no need of any vigil, no prayer was needed, "if I die, I die!" But God decided the wife must not become a widow yet.
I am saying that God has decided and that is why you are here this morning; that you won't be a widow yet, you won't be a widower yet in the Name of Jesus.
Peter was able to sleep, he didn't pray. He slept so much that when they woke him up, he was still thinking, you know he must be dozing as he was going "this is a dream, when will I wake up from it. *3. He didn't care wether his children will become fatherless.*
I pray for you this morning, maybe you have such a parent, you have talked about salvation; they care less. Because you are here this morning, the mighty hand of God, wherever they are will bring them out of that bondage in the Name of Jesus!
*4. Oh! What about the church?* It was only the church that was saying we don't want to conduct a burial service; we don't want another one, we just burried Apostle James, what will unbelievers say if we ring the bell that our pastor, pastor Peter is dead? And so the church, the Bible said in verse 5; the church gathered to pray, you are one of the church this morning;
Over your pastor, you will not weep in the Name of Jesus!
So it is possible to have a careless pastor, it is possible! Sometimes, we faith carelessness, we faith it. Everything faith, faith! It's a lie! A man who is not praying doesn't beleive that God should help him. There pastors who will be checking the Bible; Genesis to Revelation when the choir has started singing, "which word this morning o?" I heard the story of a pastor, the choir had finished their special number then the junior pastor ran into the office, "daddy, they are waiting for you", he(senior pastor) said "errr that story of Bathmaeus, where is it? Please help me look for it, bring it, write it in a piece of note and place it on the altar for me; what act of carelessness! And yet the church must not weep.
And because you are that church that must not weep, this morning, as you cry in prayer, God will answer!
God forbid! I am not ready to die but if I die now, they will call you names o! Ah ko i ti lo osu meta(Ah he has not spent 3months) only God knows what they used to kill him in Badagry, that pastor spent 5years in Ilorin, 3years in Lokoja and so and so number of years in Ogun, he didn't die o(there are many witches in that Badagry). You will not get a bad name in Jesus Name!
Peter cared less, he slept, he saw no need to praise or pray unto God but the Lord moved at the cry of the church.
This morning, your praise, your prayer, your worship, your presence here, your sacrifice. It can be very comfortable to be sleeping around 6 and 7 especially on a public holiday like today; the Almighty God will honour the faith that brought you here in the Name of Jesus!
So the church prayed(it wasn't a long prayer) and God answered and there was a divine visitation. The Bible said in verse 7 that angel entered the prison.
This month of October, the Lord will visit you! You will experience a divine visitation!
If the Lord visits you, you don't need to share the testimony yoirself, there will be announcement, event that everybody will say you are not to share testimony, you are the testimony that we want to share. So this month of October, God will visit you!
The Bible said a great light showed in the prison. For you to be released from every bondage, from every captivity, this October, fire will fall for you!
There was a divine touch. As there was a great light, at the presence of God, Peter felt a touch.
*WHAT ARE THE THINGS THE TOUCH BROUGHT UPON PETER*
1. His bondage was broken.
This morning, every sign, every symbol of bondage in your life, in your family, in your business in your ministry will give way in the Name of Jesus!
2. His prosperity was released.
Everything and anything that has been hindering the success, the prosperity of the work of your hand, this morning the touch of God will destroy them!
3. His yoke was destroyed.
I pray for someone whose eyes are becoming opened this morning, that every yoke connecting you with people that will not see the end of this year is broken and destroyed in the Name of Jesus!
Every journey that is tying you with people that will not complete the journey; this morning, by the anointing of God and this word you are hearing, that link, that connection, that yoke, you are coming out of it in the migty Name of Jesus!
I pray for you; as many as are in the pit and want to take you down with them.
God bless you!
