ON EAGLES WINGS

“And Moses went up to God and the Lord called to him from the mountain, saying thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; you have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles wings and brought you to Myself, now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to me above all people; for all the earth is mine. And you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (Exodus 19: 3-6a)

God’s eternal plan and purpose for His children cannot be stopped by man or by Satan and his agents. Job said in his book I know you can do anything O Lord and no plan and purpose of yours can be thwarted. (Job 42:2). The children of Israel were in Egypt under oppression and serious yoke or bondage of slavery for 430 years. At the fullness of time for their deliverance God arose from His throne in heaven to establish His covenant with the descendants of His friend Abraham. The deliverance of Israel from Egypt even though long awaited was so swift that the children of Israel themselves could not believe that God could wrought such mighty deliverance in a day.

When the Lord turned our captivity around we were like them that dreamed the Bible says To you who is reading this message, the Lord God will bring mighty deliverance to you swiftly in Jesus name and He will take you to heights that your enemy and the oppressors will not be able to reach in Jesus name.Before you got into that captivity, the Lord had made a way of escape for you. What you need is to listen and pay attention to God’s voice to show you the way out of your present predicament. God told Abraham your children will be in Egypt 400 years but I will bring them out into this land and establish them in the land flowing with milk and honey (God’s ordained heritage).

When God want to do a thing especially for His children, He sends them His word. God uses His word as a basis to bless you. Moses went to Pharaoh armed with the word received from the Lord “Pharaoh let my people go that they might serve me” even though he resisted but the word did not fall to the ground, God watched over it to see it performed. “For He spoke and it was done, He commanded and it stood fast. The counsel of the Lord stands forever. The plans of His heart to all generations” (Psalms 33:9, 11).

The word of God is dynamic, powerful breaking through every wall or barriers and cannot be stopped from fulfilling its purpose; so receive instruction from Him.

The eagle lives on high mountains or heights where other birds cannot near. The eagle eats choice food, soars above the storms or obstacles of life, and it is not disturbed in the midst of adversity. The Lord said your position is on the height not on the valley. Poverty, slavery, oppression, sickness, sorrow, pains, gloom, failure, barrenness, lack of any kind, are valley experiences. The Lord by His mighty wings will bring deliverance your way today in Jesus name.Your place is the top, Jesus is the rock, the eagles dwell in the crags of the rock, the Lord will lead you and establish you today on the rock in Jesus name.

Eagles mount up at God’s command, dwell and reside on the rock. It is wise to build your life, family, ministry or career on the solid rock. Heed to the word. The revelation of God’s word brings blessings, so take heed to God’s covenant, pay attention to the terms of the covenant and God’s promises or covenant blessing will be fulfilled in your life. “As an eagle stirs up its nest, hover over its young, spreading out its wings, taking them up. Carrying them on its wings, so the Lord alone led him. And there was no foreign god with him. He made him ride in the heights of the earth that he might eat the produce of the fields He made him draw honey from the rock and oil from the flinty rock, curds from cattle and milk of the flock with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan and goats. With the choicest wheat and you drank wine the blood of the grapes” (Deuteronomy 32:11-14)

The Lord compares the work He did for Israel with the eagle’s provisions or care for His children and this implies that as a child of God on eagle’s wing the following traits will henceforth be evident in your life.

1. Dignitaries, important personality will identify with me. God will surely bring you to a place of rich fulfillment (Psalms 66:12)

2. God is making you to eat the produce of the field, the best of the land.

3. The anointing of the Lord will never cease to flow into your life (Actes10:38, Hebrew 1:9)

4. You will daily be renewed, to live to fulfill the numbers of your days (Psalms103:5).

5. Your vineyard will be highly productive. The abundance of the Lord will come your way.

God says as you mount on His eagles’ wing, abide and obey His covenant, all these promises He will cause you to possess.

See you established on the top most height in life.

Shalom.

OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

So he answered and said to me “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, “Not by might nor by power but by my Spirit”, says the Lord of hosts” Who are you, O Great Mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone, with shouts of grace, grace to it” (Zachariah 4:6-7)

Anything and everything about the church has to be by the Leading, Guidance and Enabling Power of the Holy Spirit in order for it to succeed and bring glory to God and blessing to the people.

In the Holy Spirit is wisdom, knowledge, understanding and skill to function effectively and efficiently in life. Life in quantity and good quality is abundant in the Holy Spirit.

“However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age who are coming to nothing…. But as it is written: eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But “God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes the deep things of God” (I Corin.2:6-10)

The kingdom of God is already here and is becoming more powerful through the mighty manifestation of the fullness of the Holy Spirit in the church, so you are to yield, move, live, swim and bath in the Spirit.

Jesus Christ as well as the early apostles were led, guided and worked in the power of the Holy Spirit. How God anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power and He was going about doing good, delivering those who are being oppressed by the devil for God was with Him (Acts 10:38)

The Holy Spirit stabilizes a man, guarantees your future and moves you into the future. You are to be trained to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is a helper, comforter, not your servant, and He is God that you need to consult regularly.

Your ability to hear from the Holy Spirit flows from your loving obedience to Jesus Christ’s commands. You must love Jesus, hunger and thirst for Him, have a strong desire to know Him, to hear from Heaven. Come to Him driven by love and not for recognition, have strong desire for God and the things of the kingdom of heaven. The Holy Spirit’s presence in your life is what gives satisfaction. To invoke His presence, worship Him in spirit and in truth, praise Him, call upon Him earnestly and with joy in your heart; live to please Him, detach from earthly bondage, set yourself apart from selfish instinct and devote yourself to God.

The work of the Holy Spirit is to make us to be like Jesus. The Holy Spirit brings sanctification and the revelation of Jesus Christ. To receive the continuous flow of the Spirit, my motive must be pure and centered on Jesus.

The Holy Spirit desires to give you understanding of God’s will, help you to overcome temptations and the test of life, give you perfect joy in the face of the storm of life.

The power of God is released for the miraculous as you worship Jesus.

Come to His presence having not your own opinion; loose your spirit for God to work through, not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of the Lord.

Seek for divine revelation that will move you from your zone of comfort. We need to come sincerely to the Holy Spirit and ask what His opinion is about what we want to do and what He has to tell us about Jesus.

Let your heart be clean, pure, have right motives and be willing and ready to listen and do what He commands. Revelation is to be given to people who will use it for His glory, being mindful of the kingdom, not to build self-empire. Recognize your poor state in the spirit, and never feel you have arrived.

MARKS OF THE MOVE OF THE SPIRIT

1. It will be spontaneous.
2. It will give us perfect love for Jesus
3. It will take away unorthodox things that do not bring joy to you and glory to Jesus. The Spirit of God will do what He wants to do; we are in for a new charismatic move all over the world, the church and every denomination.
4. Simplicity- freedom or liberty to serve God. Quickness in the body and spirit of the believer. Grace to live by faith like never before will be impacted.
5. A new love for the brethren, reconciling work or net working among faithful believers, denominational barriers will be broken. Superficial walls of division, pride will be shattered; there will be unity in the body of Christ. The love of God will be shed abroad in the heart of the brethren for one another.
6. A new power for evangelism, breaking new grounds for church growth and church planting among the un-reached people and groups.

God has promised to pour His Spirit upon all flesh in this latter days, especially to those who have been called and saved by His precious blood and are committed to serving or representing the kingdom by living and speaking for Him, the Spirit will be given you without measure.

We encourage you therefore to position yourself well for the flow as you worship and serve Him like never before.

Shalom.

Pastor Bamikole Isaac.

TESTIMONIES

I want to thank the Lord for His favour upon my life. I redeemed my pledge towards the building project of Grace Tabernacle and God has just been favouring me. I studied Computer Technology (precisely Networking) in the University, so I decided to go and collect my Testimonial but when I got there I learnt that the glass building (computer house from where testimonials are printed) had burnt and I when to my department instead. Upon arriving there, I met one of my teachers who said I looked familiar and I was wondering how he would single me out from my class. He took me to the head of department who also said I looked familiar (in fact he did not know me). So they told me that there was a project for future recruitment they were working on and that 4 candidates were needed. I was the last to be chosen because there were already 3 candidates. We did the first examination and 2 of us were disqualified. I thanked God because I succeeded in the final exam and I am waiting to be posted to Bamenda for work any time from now. Sr Florence.

We want to thank God for His favour upon us. We have been in the United States for only 8 months and we are amazed by what God is doing in our lives. Since we went to the States God's eyes have never left us: He has protedted us from accidents, granted us to recover lost money, just to name a few. We redeemed our pledge towards the building project of Grace Tabernacle and God has answered our heart's desire. We have been believing God for a State Job and God has given one to Brother Kennedy. We give Him all the praise. Br Kennedy & Sr Gisèle.

TESTIMONIES

I was once a minister of God abroad and when I came back home, I abandoned the way of the Lord and used crooked means to send many people to Europe. It gave me money but with all the money, I had no fulfilment. I had family crisis and my wife left me. I had an accident in which the vehicle capsided but God spared my life. I continued in this waywardness and found myself in prison. While in prison God reminded me that while I was young my father destroyed the signboard of a church and God said his best son will be God's servant and today I am. I now know for sure that only Jesus gives true joy. Money and position cannot satisfy. I rededicate my life fully to God's service. Br Nicolas.

I want to thank God for His healing power upon my life. For about a month now I have had a serious pain in my leg and it became impossible for me to shake the leg. Swellings started coming out of the leg. During the Last Solution Night, the Pastor told me to stand up and dance along with the brethren as we were singing and praising God. I struggled and obeyed but discovered that I started walking. The rashes started drying up on their own and I am now well. I want to thank God for the ability to walk. Sr Flora.

I want to thank God for divine provision. During the Solution Night, the Minister colecting offering said we should put something qualitative for God. I had money that I wanted to take to the hospital to consult my eyes. I obeyed and when I got to the clinic, I was consulted for free and also given medication. I thank God for everything. Sr Evodia.

CULTIVATING HIS PRESENCE

“For you will not leave my soul in Sheol. Nor will you allow your holy one to see corruption. You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. At your right hand are pleasures for evermore.” (Psalms 16:10-11)

God delights in fellowshipping and dwelling with you and in you, even though His essence is not limited to you. The Bible says your body is the temple or dwelling place of the Holy Spirit (God) or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.(I Cor.6:19-20)

God has always promised to be with His people from the on-set. Adam and Eve before the fall at the Garden of Eden enjoyed God’s divine presence, fellowship and communion.

Isaac in the land of Gerar was assured of God’s divine presence in the land of the philistines “Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and thy descendants I give all these lands and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father” (Gen.26:3)

Joseph was a man that enjoyed God’s divine presence in every circumstance and situation: as a slave, in the prison and even as the Prime-Minister in Egypt. “The Lord was with Joseph and he was a successful man; and his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all he did to prosper in his hand.” (Gen.39:2-3)

One of the greatest promises our Lord Jesus gave to us at the end of His ministry here on earth, is that of His abiding presence. “And I will pray the Father and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- The Spirit Of Truth” whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him for He dwells with you and will be in you; I will come to you.” (John 14:16-18)

In every dispensation God has always dwelled with and abided in His people as individuals and in groups.

HOW TO CULTIVATE HIS PRESENCE

There are habits you must cultivate in order to constantly enjoy his abiding presence.

1. Be totally separated from sin, the world system and its evil desires and pleasures and, absolutely devote, consecrate and dedicate the members of your body to the Lord. (I Corin.6:15-18; Gen.39:11-13)

2. A strong love and desire to keep God’s Word in your heart (Psalms119:9-11). The Word is the blessed Trinity dwelling in the inside of you.

3. Walking in absolute obedience to divine instruction. The disciples went every where preaching the good news and the Lord was with them, confirming their words with signs (Mark 16:20, Gen.26:1-6)

4. Spend quality time alone with God in prayers, praises, study and meditation in the Word (Exodus 33:11; Acts 4:31). When the disciples prayed they were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke God’s Word with boldness.

BENEFITS OF HIS PRESENCE

1. Divine protection, security, support and help are received from Him. (Psalms114:1-8)

2. Obstacles become stepping stones to breakthrough (Gen.26:19-22)

3. Deliverance and victory is guaranteed in battle. (Exo.14:13-14,25)

4. Good success and prosperity beyond human imaginations is a proof of God’s divine presence. (Gen.26:28-29)

5. Joy and stress free life, career and ministry are some of the benefits of God’s presence. (Psalms 16:11)

6. Eternal dwelling with God, here on earth and in the life to come. (Revelation 21:3).

Beloved, God is not afar off, seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near, He is the closest ally, closer to you than your heartbeat.

Therefore make room for Him in every domain of your life “Behold He stands at the door of your heart knocking. Open for Him now and let Him fill you with the fullness of His being and you shall be glad you did. I hope to see you bodily in His presence one day.

Shalom
