It Is Finished - Pastor Femi Monehin


God's Favourite House - (Monday July 16th, 2016)

“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory”

- 1 Cor.2:7-8

Let the party begin. I can imagine the party in hell. The jubilating, the victory stories, the dancing, and the drinking, and imagine them patting each other on the back. The party lasted day one, day two and on the third day they heard the deafening sound of footsteps coming towards them. Who can that be? Everyone was complete. So who is coming? And the order came, “go and check!” A demon ran and came back with this report; “you would not believe it but it is He”. “Who?” They asked. “The one we thought was dead is alive”. “Who?” “Jesus”.

At the mention of His Name alone, they all fell prostrate. When they came back to themselves, they hurriedly locked the gates. When Jesus got to the gate, an angel gave the instruction, “lift up your heads oh ye gates, and be ye lift up ye everlasting doors, and the king of glory shall come in”. They put up a fight, “who is this king of glory?” And the angel responded, “the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle; lift up your head oh ye gates, even lift them up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of Glory shall come in”. Again they challenged, “who is this King of Glory?” And again the angel proclaimed, “The Lord of Hosts, He is the King of Glory”. The gates crumbled! Jesus bruised the head of satan, seized the keys of death and hell, and He led captivity captive. And while He was on His way, satan said, “but I do not understand”.

 And Jesus said, “you would not understand”. Then satan said, “but Jesus, You said ‘it is finished!’” “Yes”, Jesus said, “sin is finished, sorrow is finished, confusion is finished, sickness is finished, poverty is finished, and shackles and confinements are finished. It is finished!” satan thought Jesus was buried but God said, “no, He was just planted!” For someone reading this today, the situation in your life appears as if you were buried. I am here to declare to you that you were not buried, you were just planted. And the same power that resurrected Jesus is entering your life now and is causing there to be a resurrection. So everything that has held you captive up until now, we command it to lose its grip now, in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Prayer: Father, let everything that has kept a part of my life buried be destroyed by the Resurrection Power and let the name of Jesus be glorified, in Jesus Name

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
