RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 25 FEBRUARY 2024 TODAY MESSAGE
Many people receive the call of God, start walking in that call, and when they experience a little breakthrough, they settle for that as the best they can achieve.
That is not the assignment that Jesus gave to us when He was leaving the earth; He said we are to take the gospel from Jerusalem (your immediate environment) to Judea, to Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the world (Acts 1:8).
God is interested in the multiplication of your impact around the world. Don’t stop until you win the whole world for Christ.
Isaac didn’t just grow to become great, the Bible says he kept on moving forward (Genesis 26:12-13).
Apostle Paul said He was constantly pressing on; in Philippians 3:13-14, he said:
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
If I had listened to people who said that I had ‘arrived’ many years ago, the impact that RCCG has made today would never have happened.
I tell such people, “Thank you, I haven’t even started yet.”
I remember over 30 years ago when someone came into my office during a period when I was fasting for 40 days. He saw me lying there, weak because I had not eaten for weeks and he said,
“What else are you looking for that you stress yourself so much? Your auditorium is the biggest in Africa, what else do you want?”
Imagine if I had listened to such, maybe you would never have heard of Adeboye today.
You are not only to multiply in the impact you make in the world, but you are also to multiply in your knowledge of the One who sent you.
The strength with which you got to where you are today is not enough to take you to the next level.
Jesus Christ gave an open invitation to anyone who thirsted to come unto Him and drink from Him.
He went further to say that if such a fellow also believes on Him, rivers of living water will flow out of his or her belly (John 7:37-38).
You need to keep drinking from Him if you want to keep multiplying.
The deeper you go in God, the more He can commit to you.
OPEN HEAVEN 25 FEBRUARY 2024 KEY POINT
Don’t settle on any level of achievement, keep pressing on until you win the whole world for Christ.

RCCG HYMN 26: There Shall Be Showers Of Blessing
1 There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.
Refrain:
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
2 There shall be showers of blessing,
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.
