WORD FROM REDEEM ZION

FROM NOTHINGNESS INTO MULTIPLICATION

The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for
them, And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the
rose. It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even
with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be
given to it. The excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They
shall see the glory of the LORD. The Excellency of our
God "(Isa 35:1-2)
The wilderness or desert is a place that a believer
must visit in his or her walk of faith. The wilderness
or desert is the territory of Satan, the devil’s
examination room, to test which kind of stuff you are
made of. No believer likes to dwell there but the Holy
Spirit may lead you there as in the case of our Lord Jesus
Christ (Lk 4:1).
There are several infiltrations the devil may make
into a believer’s life to bring about the wilderness
experience, not necessarily because you have sinned but
just because it is part of your training process. The
devil can bring lack, depression unfulfilment,
barrenness, unrest, turbulence and strife in your
home, work or business; He can even bring some
habitual sin or oppression or obsession which has
constituted a nuisance and a source of continuous
sorrow. The desert is a place in which you are exposed
to all kinds of wizards, harsh wind, extreme cold, dryness
and heat. But in it all God is more than able to bring
deliverance on your way.
Deliverance is included in God’s plan of redemption
through the Blood of Jesus which was shed to
completely liberate you form bondage or the wilderness
experience you may find yourself in.
God is interested in your deliverance so that you can
enjoy the abundant life on earth. In the above passage
(Isa 35:1-7) there was a dramatic turning point that
took place. For example fear dissipated, mourning,
weeping and sorrow turned to laughter, joy and
rejoicing. Extreme heat and cold turned to cool
blossoming instead of dryness. The blind see, the deaf
hear, the lame walk and dumb speak.
God specialises in springing pleasant surprises and I see
Him springing at least
one pleasant surprise that will
move you from nothingness to exceeding multiplication.
I see Him locating and establishing you in the very
satisfaction. “You have caused men to ride over our
heads; we went through fire and through water; but
you brought us out to rich fulfilment“(Psalm 66:12).
What brings a turning point from wilderness
experience to supernatural abundance and rich
fulfilment is the rain of the Holy Spirit in the
fullness of His power and blessing.
Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to
Galilee and news of Him went out through all the
surrounding region. And He taught in their synagogues
being glorified by all" (Luke 4:14-15).
God is still in the business of turning your lack to
abundant supply, settling solitary in families, bring
prosperity and sound security to His children. This is
your season of mercy and favour from the Lord to bring
multiplication of His goodness in your life. Cry to
the Lord to send you His rain, the former and the
latter rain.
Until the spirit is poured upon us from on high and
the wilderness becomes a fruitful field is counted as
a forest” (Isa 32:15)
The disciples were in obscurity, full of fear limited
and few until the day of Pentecost come but after
the rain of the Holy Spirit fell, there was an
addition, which later became a multitude of people being
added to the church daily.
And believers were increasingly added to the Lord,
multitudes of both men and women" (Acts 5:14)
The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is the sure agent
of working out of the miracle of multiplication in
every generation of believers. It is our prayer that in
this season, the Lord will move you from nothingness
into multiplication. The Lord will multiply your
blessing. If you ask for one you will get four, all
your pending promotions will come forth speedily and in
many folds in the name of Jesus.
"Blessed is the man you choose, and cause to approach
you that he may dwell in your courts. He shall be
satisfied with the goodness of your house, of your
holy temple" (Ps 65:4)
May the Almighty God visit you with His Spirit and
power and greatly enrich you.

THE INCOMPARABLE GOD

To whom then will you liken me? Or to whom shall I
be equal? Says the Holy One. Life up your eyes on
high. And see who has created these things. Who brings
out their host by number? He calls them all by name.
By the greatness of His might. And the strength of
His power; Not one is missing" (Is. 40:25-26)
The Lord God Almighty is a matchless God, the God
that has no rival, the God that has no equal, He the
exceedingly great God is in a class of His own, He is
singular and His status is very unique. There is none
like Him in might, power, purity, love, mercy, ability,
strength, glory, riches, wisdom, knowledge,understanding,
in deliverance etc.
He is before the creation, He is now and will be
forever. He has created all things beautifully and all
the affairs of the universe are under His supreme control.
God is incomparably great and has brought you into His
class in His sovereign will through the new birth
experience (John 3:1-7). To the Israel of old He said
You are gods and all of you are children of the most
high”. (Ps 82:6).
God is not incomparably great for Himself. He is
great for His own. “When I consider your heavens, the
work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which
you have ordained. What is man that you are mindful of
him? And the son of man that you visit him. For you
have made him a little lower than the angels. And you
have crowned him with glory and honour” (Ps 8:3-5).
God is incomparable in riches, not for Himself but
for you. The riches of God are stored up for you. The
earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. God
promises to supply all your needs according to His
riches in glory through Christ Jesus.
The Lord is mighty and strong for your sake. His
power is unsearchable. God’s might works on your
behalf. Whenever He wants to demonstrate His might, He
will always stage a battle between you and your enemy.
God’s might is often made manifest in your favour
against your adversaries. It is my prayer that God in
His power come against your adversary and silence them
forever.
God came down on behalf of Israel to bring
deliverance, salvation and lifting Ex. 3:7-9. Today I
see Him coming down on your behalf to save and deliver
you in Jesus' name.
Jehoshaphat overcame his enemy by the incomparable
might of the Lord. Life is a battle field. You need to
call on the incomparable God for help, and He will
grant unto you deliverance that will usher you into
your ultimate freedom as it is written that the prey
of the terrible shall be delivered by God’s
incomparable power.(Isaiah 49: 24- 26).
The incomparable God equally shows His chosen
incomparable mercy. That is you become a candidate of His
blessing inspite of your faults; you receive His
kindness instead of punishment. I pray that in this
season the mercy of the Lord will make you to receive
the miracle you did not deserve in Jesus' name. The
mercy of the Lord is capable of saving you from death.
For example Epaphroditus in Phil.2:25-30. The mercy of
the Lord preserves destiny and the purpose of God in
the life of whoever asks for it. The Bible says it is
not he that wills or runs but it is the Lord that
shows mercy, I pray that God’s mercy will be showered
lavishly on you in this season as you cry for His
mercy(Rom.9:13-16).
The mercy of the Lord is capable of giving you
cheap victories, forgiveness of sins, long life, as in
the case of David. When the Incomparable God shows you
mercy you can never lack provisions, His mercy will
make you exceedingly great and lift you up.
God’s ability has no match, stands out clear by His
ability. He can do and undo at His will and what
seemingly seems impossible for man He makes possible.
God in His infinite ability is able to reverse the
irreversible and lift up without protocol (Lk.1:28-37,
Gen.41:39-46); God in His ability reverses the
conspiracy of the enemy and foes. Haman’s plot against
Israel and Mordecai was thwarted (Isaiah 8:9-10,
Esther9:25). God in His sovereign ability can restore
a nation’s or man’s lost fortune, glory, position,
health, etc within the twinkle of an eye. When the Lord
brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those
who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with singing, and then they said among
the nations The Lord has done great things for them.
The Lord has done great things for us, and we are
glad.
As this year is fast running to an end, it is our
prayer that the Incomparable God will work in you and
through you His incomparable miracles, signs and
wonders in the name of Jesus.
However, to enjoy the manifold grace and blessings of
the Incomparable God;
(i) Be sure of your daily genuine conversion
experience in the Lord Jesus Christ.
(ii) Live a holy life and fear God.
(iii) Have faith in God’s unfailing love and daily
appropriate the power of the blood of Jesus Christ.
(iv) Have faith in the continuous priestly
intercession of Jesus Christ.
(v) Have a daily unique and dynamic encounter with God
in prayer and in the study and meditation in His Word.


IT SHALL BE WELL WITH YOU ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE IN
JESUS' NAME.

MY TIME HAS COME

"But you o Lord shall endure forever,
and the
remembrance of your name to
all generations. You will
arise and
have mercy on Zion for the time to
favour
her, yes, the set time has
come
" (Ps 102: 12-13)
God specializes in springing surprises
in the life of committed and ardent worshippers.
The Lord of Host is clothed with glory, majesty
and unparalleled splendour which He wants to
make manifest with his children in this season
of mercy and favour. The time for God's divine
favour, the undeserved, the unmerited and His
great grace to radiate in your life has come.
I see glorious testimonies from God being found
in your month everyday from now onward. God is
ready to enlist you among people for special
greatness, uncommon breakthrough that will move
you from obscurity and gloominess to stardom,
from the bottom of the valley to the mountain top.
This message is meant for people who are not
satisfied with average life, who are not going to
be carried along by the facts surrounding them but
in the truth of what God has spoken. God knows
you in and out, knows your struggles and challenges,
knows your name and your heart's desire. He has
great and marvellous plans for your life which I
know He is bringing to pass in His ommipotency.
"For I know the thought that I have toward you,
says
the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil,
to give
you a future and a hope" Jeremiah 29:11
Stop crying about the past failure, look forward
to the glorious thing that God has in stock for you.
The very best is awaiting you, unlimited greatness
is awaiting you "But the land which you cross, the
eyes
of the Lord your God are always on it from the
beginning of the year to the very end if the year
"
(Deut 11:11-12). I pray that God's great plan be
revealed to you in Jesus name. There is a question
you must answer at this point of God making known
His good plan to you. Your answer will determine
whether you will move from where you are to where
God has prepared for you. "I am the God of all
flesh, Is there anything too
hard for me" If
your answer is yes, I can assure you that with
the devine backing of the Almighty God, awesome
things in righteousness will begin to spring
forth in your life. Your positive response to
God's question will act as catalyst for you
coming boldly to the throne of grace to obtain
mercy and find grace to help in your time of
need. The grace is always available. Help from
above not from abroad will never cease. The
time to enter the very best is now, because
God has promised to increase your greatness
on every side. However, entering your very
best is a process and there are two sides to
it: the divine aspect is the revealed or
spoken word through which He has made his
intention know unto you. Let us look at the
case of Isaac in Genesis 26 "Then the
Lord appeared to him and said do not go
down to
Egypt; live in the land of which I
shall tell you.
Dwell in this land you and
your descendants I give all
these lands
and I will perform the oath which I swore

to Abraham your father" (Genesis 26:2-3.
Isaac heard the word of God and played his
own human part and the result was an amazing
breakthrough year-in year out in an
environment where there is prolonged
dry season (famine). "Than Isaac sowed
in that land
and reaped in the same year
in a hundredfold, and the
Lord blessed him.
The man began to prosper, and
continued
prospering until he became very prosperous
"
(Genesis 26:12-13)
God has promise to bless and prosper
the work of your hand. So to become great
or get the very best the following habits
should be cultivated by you.
- You must be a plougher "Do you see a
man who excels
in his work? He will
stand before kings. He will not

stand before unknown men" (Prov 22:29).
- You must be focused "But Jesus said
to him, no one
having put his hand to
the plough and looking back is
fit for
the kingdom of God
" (Lk 9:62).
- You must be ready to sow "Those who
sow in tears
shall reap in joy" (Psalm 126:5)
- Desire to be a blessing to others
"I will make you a great nation,
I will bless you and make your name

great; And you shall be a blessing"
Genesis 12:2.
- You must be a committed and loyal disciple
of the Lord. Abide in the Lord and let
His word richly dwell in you.
- Burn the bridge behind you. Be determined
not to go back to the world, be violent
against the world and its system that is
opposed to God's plan and purpose for your
life (Matthew 11:12).
- You must be ready to pray intensely and fast.
"Is this not the fast that I have chosen, to
loose the
bonds of wickedness, To undo the
heavy burdens, To let
the oppressed go free,
and that you break every yoke;
Then your light
shall spring forth like the morning.
Your
healing shall spring forth speedily, and your

righteousness shall go before you. The glory
of the
Lord shall be your rear guard"
(Isa 58:6, 8).
- You must be humble "Humble yourselves
in the sight
of the Lord, and He will lift
you up
" (James 4:10).
- You must put your trust in the Lord. "Trust
in the
Lord, and do good, dwell in the land,
and feed on His
faithfulness" (Psalm 37:3).
- You must have the fear of the Lord.
"Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear the
Lord and depart from
evil" (Pro 3:7)

Beloved, I feel deep down in my heart
that God is about to do something glorious
in your life, because of His love, mercy
and favour. So He expects your cooperation
so that what He has planned long ago can be
made manifest. The Lord wants to proof to the
whole world through you that He is the Living
God by raising you to stardom that the king
and ruler might put their trust in Him.

THE CONSTANCY OF JESUS

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday
today and forever
” (Heb 13:8)
The truth that Jesus Christ does
not change provides a sure anchor
for our faith as a Christian or believer.
It means that present believers must
not be content until they experience
the same salvation, communion
with God, baptism in the Holy
Spirit and kingdom power that the
New Testament believers experienced in their
service to God through Christ Jesus.
Justifier
Jesus said “Most assuredly, I say to
you he who
believes in me the works
that I do he will do also,
and greater
works than these he will do because
I go
to my father” (John 14:12).
The faith of the disciples was hinged
on the unchanging Christ: his faithfulness,
and stability. The Christ who the eye
witness saw is still the same today
and what was said about Him is still
true and valid and it will always be
true forever.For example the disciples
brought many into the saving knowledge
of Christ, performed great signs and
wonders, healed the sick, brought the
dead back to life through the authority
and in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Peter in Acts 3:6 “Said and gold I do
not have, but
what I do have I give you;
in the name of Jesus Christ
of Nazareth,
rise up and walk
” The name of Jesus Christ
is the person and authority of Jesus which
has been given as an open check to you to
do exploit in your generation. “If you ask any
thing in my name I will do it
” (John 14:14).
Jesus Christ does not change, He was at the
beginning with God and even now, all things
were created by Him and He is in charge
of the creation.

. He is constant in His nature and work.
His nature and work He expects you to imitate
and be like Him.
· He is constant in purity - Be holy as I
the Lord your God is holy (1Peter 1:16)
· He is constant in victory over sin, Satan
and all his allies (Col 2:14-15)
· He is constant in power and authority
Matthew 18:18
· He is constant in mercy/love and faithfulness
Psalm 6:11 and Lamentation 3:22-23.
· He is constant in help and presence Hebrew 13:6,
Mathew 28:20b
· Our Lord Jesus Christ is constant in provision
- He is the good shepherd, no want for his
sheep and God will always supply all your needs
according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus
Philippians 4:19.
· He is constant in forgiveness, and salvation
1John 1:9, Acts 4:13
· Jesus is constant in healing and deliverance.
(Acts10:38, 1 John 3:8)
· Jesus Christ is constant in giving. The life
He gave to people that believed in Him while here
on earth, He is still giving today (John 10:10b)

Jesus Christ has not changed. What do you
have to do in order to experience the fullness
of Christ? Trust and believe in Him is
very important. Your faith must be in God
and the finished work of the cross of Calvary
which He did on your behalf. Without faith in Him,
you cannot please God, because anyone who comes to
Him must believe that he exists and that he rewards
those who earnestly seek Him (Heb 11.6).

As you read this message, I challenge you in the
name of the Lord to repent of every wrong opinion
and thought pattern about the risen and ascended
Christ who is alive forever more. You can reach
out to Him today by faith to meet you at the very
point of your need as He did to the woman with the
issue of blood, Bartimeaus, Peter, John and James
and the saints of old.

Wait on Him in hope, He is coming back and when
He comes we shall see Him the way He is. May your
faith in Him never fail.
