THE MESSAGE
TEXT - REVELATION 1:12-18
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
-That is the definition of resurrected Christ.
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Today, someone might want to wonder what to thank God for at a time like this, apart from thanking God for life, health; for those of us who by the grace of God are healthy, thanking God in advance for healing for those who are sick, thanking God for breakthroughs for those who are in financial difficulties because God has not forgotten you but we want to thank God for Calvary.
David said I will bless the Lord at all times and His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
HOW CAN I THANK GOD AT ALL TIMES?
How can I thank God at a time like this?
THE GREATEST BATTLE WAS FOUGHT AT CALVARY.
The greatest battle ever fought since the creation of man was fought at Calvary; it was a battle, the greatest battle against the forces of darkness and the One who said i'm the Light of the world. At the end of the battle, at least at the beginning of it, it looks as if darkness has won, because even on that day the Bible recorded that the Sun refused to shine but we know that three days later, light brood and it was completely victorious.
As we remember that epic battle and the victory that Jesus won for us at Calvary, let’s thank Him constantly.
Let’s thank Him for these reasons.
1.THE BLOOD THAT HE SHED AT CALVARY.
Our sins have been washed away by the blood of Jesus, 1 John 1:7, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sin, but for the blood shed at Calvary, somebody like me should not be talking to you this morning as a pastor, i knew how deep i was in sin until i met Jesus. Today, by the grace of God all my sins are gone and I believe that yours are gone too.
THE BLOOD IS STILL GIVING US VICTORY.
According to Revelation 12:10-11, the blood is still around and it's still giving us victory over satan; the saints overcame satan by the blood of the lamb, we can't face satan without the blood of Jesus. We can tell satan that the blood speaks against him.
THE BLOOD GIVES ACCESS TO GOD THE FATHER.
Hebrews 10:19-21, Through the blood that was shed at Calvary, we have access to the Holiest. Before Calvary, only the high priest can enter into the Holiest, the time the battle was fought and won for us at Calvary, every child of God has access to the Holiest because the veil that covered the Holy of Holy was rend from the top to the bottom at Calvary.
By the grace of God, i have had the opportunity to meet head of states practically all over the world and i'm telling you that it is easier to see Jesus than to see some head of states, even after you have shown evidence that i'm coming at the invitation of the head of state, they will pass you through so many security doors but today, you can go on your knees and get direct access to the Most high God because of the blood that was shed at Calvary.
The Bible records for us in Exodus 12:13, that when the angel of death is passing by, when he sees the blood he will pass over you. That is why if you are a true child of the living God, you can say with all boldness, satan, my house is forbidden to you and that is why you can claim with all boldness because of the blood of Jesus Christ that no virus can come to your house.
The Blood has said to satan this is the red line; you can't cross this line into my family.
2.THE HEALING STRIPES.
Let’s thank Him for the healing stripes.
Way back in Isaiah 53:1-5, there was a prophecy that a day is coming when someone will carry away our burdens and sorrows and by whose stripes we shall be healed. It was prophesied by Isaiah years before Jesus Christ was born. If Isaiah was not a highly respected prophet, they would have killed him for that prophecy because the word of God made it clear that if a prophet prophesies and it does not come to pass, kill him. The prophecy of Isaiah didn’t come to pass for hundreds of years but at Calvary, the fulfillment came, if you read 1 Peter 2:24, it tells us that when Jesus carried our sins on the cross, it became established that by His stripes we were healed.
THE HEALING STRTIPES.
Sometimes ago I read an article where it was recorded that all the sicknesses and diseases in the world could be put into 39 categories, Jesus Christ took 40 stripes; 39 stripes for known diseases and an extra stripe waiting for those to be discovered. I’m sure you must be wondering, as deadly as coronavirus is, so many people are still surviving, because someone long time ago took a stripe to wait for sickness yet to be discovered. Today, every child of God, whatever sickness and disease may want to knock at your door, you can face it with the stripe of Jesus Christ and it is with boldness that i'm saying this, everyone of you, any form of sickness or disease or pain by His stripes, receive your healing in Jesus’ name.
3.THE NAME OF JESUS.
Because it is only after Calvary that He was given a name that is above every other name. Philippians 2:5-11, it tells us step by step how Jesus Christ humbled Himself; the bible says He became obedient unto death. It is when He died at Calvary that the tide turned and the bible says, therefore, God has highly exalted Him and had giving Him a name that is above every other name, that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow of things in heaven, of things on earth, of things underneath the earth and that every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, only after Calvary.
It’s only after Calvary that we can now say, John 14:14, is absolutely valid, if you ask anything in my name, in that name that is above every other name, I will do it. When He was on earth, He said to the disciples in John 16:24, He said, Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: the disciples were with Him, He said we have been going together for all this years, you haven't ask anything in my name. As a matter of fact, if they run into any trouble, they do not ask Him anything in His name, they probably call on Him to handle the problem.
When they were in the boat and there was a storm and He was sleeping, they didn’t say to the storm in Jesus’ name be still, they woke him and queried him; careth not thou that we perish? But after He rose from the dead; after Calvary, Peter could now say in Acts 3:1-8, to the man who was born lame, silver and gold have i none but I have a name, in the name of Jesus Christ, rise and walk.
The power to use that name that is above all name is available to us now because of Calvary. It was after He rose from the dead in Mark 16:14-18 that He came and told them that all power in heaven and on earth has been given unto me. If you believe in my name, you can cast out demons, you can lay hands on the sick and they will recover, the name became extremely powerful after Calvary.
When He says you will lay hands on the sick and they will recover, it means they will recover. I have challenged you before, please, put it into action and we will see a tremendous collision of testimonies. There will be so many testimonies coming from you as you believe and begin to put this name to work through the power of the Holy Spirit, the time will come that we will spend a Holy Ghost Night listening to testimonies.
MY EXPERIENCE IN ZAMBIA.
I have shared with you what happened when i went to Zambia for the first time; what they gave me didn't agree with my stomach and i kept going to the toilet for about twenty four times and it occurred to me that God said you shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover, He didn't say who the sick will be, i'm the one in trouble so i lay hand on my head and i commanded my stomach to be still and instantly, we problem was over. You can do it, start with yourself, go ahead, try it with your children and friends, that was how I started.
When I started laying hands on the sick, I started with my children and friends that will not tell anyone if I fail, but today now because I have tested it and found it to be true, I can lay hands on anyone anywhere because the mighty power came through that Name after Calvary.
4.VICTORY OVER DEATH.
It was at Calvary that Jesus gave us victory over death, because in Revelation 1:18, He said not only was I the One who was alive and was dead and now alive forever more, He said I now have the keys of death. Since Calvary, for every true child of God, death has lost its sting. 1 Corinthians 15:54-57, Death, where is your sting now, why? the sting of death is sin but Jesus Christ has taken away my sins.
DEATH DO NOT HAVE THE FINAL SAY.
Hebrews 2:14-15, in layman’s language, you don't begin to live until you have lost the fear of death. Jesus Christ became man so that He could die and through death defeat the One who has the power of death; the devil and set free all those who throughout their lives have been living in bondage because of the fear of death. Calvary makes it clear to every true child of God that death is not to be feared, why: because death does not have the final say, the One who has the final say is the Resurrection and the Life. Jesus Christ has defeated death and the one who had the power of death; the devil.
You can look forward to the day you will leave this world if the Lord allows you to live to that age before He returns and says death you can't frighten me, you are just a way to life.
HOW I LOST MY FEAR OF DEATH.
I lost my fear of death years ago when my mother called me and said the way you are going, you are not likely to be in when i die, so i want you to do something for me; i want to see the coffin you are going to use to bury me, i want to see the dress i will wear and she described to me to make a wedding dress, so we built a very nice coffin and got one of my daughters to measure her and design a wedding dress. She put the dress on and she was satisfied. We opened the side of the coffin, she laid in it and was satisfied. From that day, I lost my fear of death.
A true child of God knows that when she leaves this world, she’s going to a wedding, you are going to be married to the Great Bridegroom, there is nothing to fear, you can't die until your day comes and when your day comes nothing can stop you, so there's nothing to fear in death because your husband; your bridegroom has the key of death.
THE TESTIMONY OF A YOUNG BOY.
When we started Nursery School at Ebute Metta way back in 1981 or 1982, we used one of the “Kiakia'' buses to bring children from their homes, they were bringing the children to school and the boy was sitting on the dashboard of the bus facing the driver and there was robbery at Ebute Metta in Oyingbo and a stray bullet pierced through the front of the bus and entered the back of the boy and came out of his stomach with his intestines, the teacher held the intestine with her hands as they drove to LUTH from Oyigbo, when they got to LUTH and they looked at the boy, he had lost blood, the doctor saw perforated intestine and said there is no need to waste time on him but after one hour and they discover that He was still breathing they decided to help, the boy survived and he is still alive today. You can’t die until your day comes because the Bridegroom has the key of death.
WHY DO WE NEED TO THANK GOD FOR CALVARY?
Because, if you relate to Calvary, you can relate to resurrection, He says clearly in Romans 8:16-17, if you suffer with me, you will be glorified with me. In Luke 22:28-30, He says clearly, those of you who had stayed with me during my temptations, I will appoint you a kingdom just as my Father appointed me a kingdom. When you thank and eulogies Him for what He went through at Calvary. He said, there will be a reward waiting for you.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION.
If you have nothing else to thank God for this morning, thank God for Calvary which is why i'm saying to those of you who are yet to surrender your life to Jesus Christ, that blood is still flowing; the blood is still available, you come to Him and bow at the feet of the cross i can assure you, you can’t see the blood, it is there and it will wash away your sins.
Before we begin to thank God, step forward and surrender your life to Jesus, ask Him to wash you clean with His blood that cleans from all sins and He will do so.
If you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, step forward, bow your head and cry unto Him for salvation.
Will you please pray for the brothers and sisters all over the world, who are crying to Jesus Christ for salvation; pray that the One who saved your soul will save there's also, pray that the blood that wash you clean will wash them clean, pray that they will have genuine salvation today.
Intercede for these people for one more minute.
Saviour, i bless Your name for Your word, i want to thank You because i know that You are the same yesterday, today and forever, thank You because Your blood has not lost Its power, i'm thanking You on behalf of those that have decided to surrender their lives to You today because You promised that whosoever will come unto You, You will no wise cast out, they have come to You now Father, please, receive them, save their souls, let Your blood wash them clean. Please, Lord God Almighty, give them a brand new beginning, write their names in the book of life, from today onward, each time they cry to You in that name that is above every other name, answer them by fire and don't let them backslide.
As the rest of us will be thanking You today; thanking You for Your blood, stripes, wonderful Name, victory over death and victory over satan, i pray Lord God Almighty that every need we may have will be abundantly supplied.
Thank You Almighty God.
Glory be to Your Holy name.
In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed.

Now it's your turn to spend quality time praising God; today is the day for thanksgiving, if you are at home, praise Him and thank Him.
And as usual, show Him appreciation in every form possible; sing and dance.
If you are in church, follow the normal procedure.
The Almighty God will grant all Your requests.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
The Divine Encounter programme will also be recorded and it will be available to you on Dove Media at the appropriate time.
The Shiloh Hour programme equally will be recorded and it will be available to you on Dove Media and i’m believing God that very soon, you will be able to gather together in large number again.
God bless you!
AMEN!
