THE MESSAGE
TEXT- ACTS CHAPTER 3
1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
My prayer for everyone listening to us today is that very soon, you will move from lockdown to leaping up in Jesus’ name.
According to a philosopher, man is born free but he's everywhere in chains. Every man has a free hunger for freedom. One of the biggest punishments you can give to a criminal is to lock him down in prison.
ADAM AS AN EXAMPLE
He was a very strong man.
Genesis 2:7-15 He was very strong intellectually.
He was given the assignment of dressing the garden of Eden.
Genesis 2:19-20 He named all animals and birds.
When he sinned, he was lockdown mentally and became a vagabond.
THE PROBLEMS WITH MENTAL LOCKDOWN
How do we know that something is wrong mentally?
1.The fellow will begin to regard routine as normal, the routine might be far from the best.
In Acts 3:2-3, the lame man regarded begging for alms as the best thing that could ever happen to him.
AN EXAMPLE OF MENTAL LOCKDOWN.
A girl was asked what she would like to become and she said a househelp because her mother and grandmother were househelps. The normal she could hope for is to become a househelp.
BEWARE OF MENTAL ENEMIES.
Certain enemies could lock you down mentally.
Many people are satisfied with being average.
1 To be average is the enemy of being clever.
2 Chronicles 1:6-12
STATEMENTS FROM MY TEACHER.
He who doesn't know but knows that he doesn't know will soon be a wise man.
He who doesn't know and does not know that he does not know will die a fool.
Even if Solomon wasn't wise, he realised that he wasn't wise that is why he got his way to wisdom and ended up becoming one of the wisest people who ever lived.
Many people are satisfied with common sense but there is something far better than ordinary common sense.
2. Good enough.
Good enough is the greatest enemy of greatness.
When you think things are okay and you don't want to go higher.
If you accept good enough you may never become great.
1 Kings 19:19-21 Elisha was the son of a wealthy farmer, if he had settled for that he would never become a great prophet.
2 Kings 13:14-21 the former son of a farmer raised the dead with his bone.
ARE YOU SAYING THINGS ARE GOOD ENOUGH AND YOU DON'T WANT TO GO HIGHER?
Please, change your mind immediately.
AN EXAMPLE OF GOOD ENOUGH.
My headmaster was a certificated teacher in 1952 that means he had been to St Andrew College.
In 1977, i got a letter from him, when i was a lecturer at the University of Lagos, he wrote to me to gain admission for him in the University of Lagos for an associative diploma in education.
The world left him behind because things were good enough in 1952. Don't let good enough rub you of greatness.
The greatest enemy of all is to think you are already great and you don’t need anything.
GREAT IS THE ENEMY OF COMPLETE, YOU CAN BE GREAT BUT INCOMPLETE.
2 Kings 4:8-17 The great woman of Shunem, she was great but barren. Great but incomplete.
During this period, the almighty God will reveal to you everything you need to be complete and give you grace to reach out for it.
FROM LOCKDOWN TO LEAPING UP.
The journey upward begins:
1.When you sense that what you are calling normal is not good enough.
Luke 11:1 The disciples of Jesus came to Him to teach them how to pray.
2.When you are aware that things can become better maybe you have known better days.
Mark 8:22-24 A blind man was brought to Jesus, when Jesus had spit on his eyes and touched him, he asked him what do you see and he said I see men like trees, that means before he became blind he had seen trees before.
When you begin to talk of the good old days, you need to leap up.
You shouldn't be talking of good old days, you should be thinking of new and better good new days.
When you are aware that God reserves the best till the last, then your journey upward begins.
John 2:1-11 the wedding in Cana of Galilee, they ran out of wine and Jesus turned water to wine.
That's God’s pattern, he reserves the best till the last.
LEVELS OF GREATNESS.
Genesis 24:34-35 Abraham was great.
Genesis 26:12-14 Issac was very great.
Those of you my children listening to me are going to be greater than me.
Genesis 30:27-43 Jacob was exceedingly great.
Joseph was greater than all of them rolled together.
I WANT YOU TO FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE.
People say we have arrived and I say we haven't started, that should be the principle guiding your life. Don't get mentally lockdown. We are expanding because I refused to be tied down mentally.
YOUR PRAYER.
The Almighty God will enlarge your coasts and sharpen your vision.
From lockdown to leaping up.
The journey to the top begins on your knees.
As soon as I close, go on your knees and cry to the Almighty God, tell Him you want to go up and not satisfied with being down.
THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE YET TO SURRENDER TO JESUS.
Go on your knees and cry unto Him for the salvation of your soul.
You have to kneel at the foot of the cross before your upward journey can begin.
LET’S PRAY.
Those of you who haven't surrender to Jesus'sChrist:
Cry to Him for the salvation of your souls.
Those of us who are sure of our salvation:
Intercede for those who are yet to be born again that the Almighty God who saved your soul will save theirs also, wash away their sins and give them a brand new beginning.
My Father and my God; I want to bless Your holy name for Your word and I want to thank You for those who are surrendering their lives to You right now, please, receive everyone of them.
Forgive them and save their souls.
Let Your blood wash away their sins.
Receive them into the family of God.
Give them a brand new beginning.
CLOSING PRAYER.
Lord God Almighty, as many of Your children that will cry unto You today, saying we don't want to stay in the valley, we want to move higher, Lord God Almighty, grant their request, in Jesus’ mighty name we have prayed.
AMEN!
Praise the Lord.
HALLELUJAH!
God bless you!
