BIRTH REPORT
As at 6:00p.m. this Evening, the number of Babies born during the Congress had reason to forty seven (47) – Twenty five (25) boys and twenty two (22) girls.
So it looks as if the boys led the way all through.
Let the boys shout Praise the Lord!
And let the girls shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.
Thank God for the Youths and Young Adults (YAYA) – I have been following all their Programs since Morning; and it has been fantastic. It reminds me of my Younger days.
Oh! Thank God for the Youths and Young Adults (YAYA).
Let’s give the Lord a big round of applause for them.
And even if you have not been following them since Morning, look at what they have done tonight.
Look at the two (2) Charges they’ve given to us – Look at that Message from Rathod Junior. What a Message? What a Word: line upon line, Precepts upon Precepts.
Simple, direct and absolutely accurate.
A big round of applause!
Thank you very much; that was well done!
And then came the man who is now about to cross over from being a Teenager to a Young Adult.
Even if you didn’t hear anything from what this Young man said take note of that very deep word:
“Sodom and Gomorrah were not destroyed because of sin, but because God could not find ten (10) Righteous Men.”
That is very deep!
You know what that one is saying?
You want God to Preserve your little Town of Village? Make sure as soon as Possible that you have a vigorous Branch of the Redeeum Christian Church of God (RCCG) there. So that when God looks down, He will find at least ten (10) Righteous Men.
Wonderful Preaching! Every bit of it was very Good.
Many at times when you don’t see me here, you think I don’t know what is going on – I do! I follow every bit of it.
Now, they’ve asked me to come and give a Father’s Blessing;
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A FATHER’S BLESSING IN DIVINE REPOSITIONING?
Genesis 49:8-10,
8 Judah, thou art he whom thy Brethren shall Praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee.
9 Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10 The Sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the People be.
… Ha! This is serious! – Hey! Judah.
1. The Bible made it abundantly clear that when you are the First Born in a family, you qualify for Special Divine Favour.
According to Genesis 48:8-20, when Joseph brought his two (2) sons to his father (Jacob) – He Placed the older one where the right hand of the father would land and the Younger one where the left hand of the father would land.
Because the First Born must receive the “Double Portion” of Blessing; and the “Double Portion’ of Blessing comes with the Right hand.
I have always said it, we may not know the full reason why, but anytime someone with the Authority to bless you is about to bless and you are more than one; Place your head where the Right hand will land – Get the “Double Portion Blessing” first, then we can begin to find out the Theology later.
And then his father (Jacob) directed by the Holy Spirit, crossed his hands – And he Placed his Right hand on the head of the Younger and the Left hand on the head of the Older.
Joseph said, “Papa, you are not seeing very well – You are doing the wrong thing.” Papa said, “I know! I am going to Place the last first and the first last.
… Very serious situation.
When you go through the Scriptures, you would find Examples of great First Borns – People who were First Borns.
And so those of you who are First Borns of your Family, Congratulations! You are well Positioned – Amen.
I. SAMUEL was first born:
– He became a Great Prophet.
– He became the Kingmaker of his Tribe.
– He became a King Remover of his Tribe.
Samuel: First Born – Mighty Prophet!
Because of time, I will jump to the New Testament:
II. JOHN THE BAPTIST was a first born.
And according to the Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 11:11, Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a Greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is Greater than he.
He was a First Born!
III. Of course, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST Himself was the First Born – Born by a Virgin.
That means the mother never had a child before Him.
So all of you who are First Born, I decree in the Name that is above every other name, you will be Great – Amen.
2. But what about those of us who are not First Born? I think that’s why tonight we need to have what we call a Father’s Blessing.
… Because a Father’s Blessing can Reposition you.
That is what happened to Judah – Judah was not the first born. Reuben was the First Born.
After Reuben came Simeon, after Simeon came Levi – Judah was number four (4).
Then the day the father was going to die; he Pronounced a blessing:
– He said, “Judah, you are the one that everybody will Praise.”
– He said, “all the children of your mother; they will come and bow down before you.”
That is serious!
The father picked him up from number four (4) and said, “hey, I make you number one (1)”.
Then he said, “the Sceptre (The Ruling Rod) will never depart from Judah”.
You can go through the Scriptures – I don’t have all the time:
I. But if you are a Bible Scholar you would know that David came from the Tribe of Judah.
II. And Jesus Christ came through David.
*Because God through a father, Pronounced a Blessing on Judah; he ended up becoming the Great, Great, Great Grandfather of the King of Kings.
And when you read Revelation 5:1-5; you will discovered that even in Eternity, Judah is still highly recognised because Jesus Christ is called the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
I am about to Pronounce a Blessing on you tonight, so that it doesn’t matter what number you are in your family line, you will become number one – Amen.
I happened to be the Last Born of my mother; and by the Grace of God, you can look at me today.
And I have told some of you before that I am where I am today by the Grace of God and the Blessing that my mother constantly Pronounced on me because I grew up with her: My dad was always in the farm.
Anytime I have done something that Pleased my mother she would say, “you this boy, you will call one Person, two hundred (200) People will answer you.” I will say, Amen!
… I didn’t know what that mean. I didn’t know how that could ever happened.
But like I have always told you – If we are having a Ministers’ Conference and by the Grace of God, all the Ministers in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) now are hundreds of thousands.
If I come into the Meeting of the Ministers and I didn’t mention any name and I say, “Pastor, come!” How many People will be running? ALL!
Stand on your feet!
PRAYERS
I want you to Pray a Simple Prayer and say: Father; for the rest of my Life, let me Please You.
Go ahead, talk to the Almighty God:
Let me Please You so that my Father’s Blessing can be effective on me
Just let me Please You:
– So that my Father’s Blessing on me can be effective;
– So that I can be Repositioned even from being the Last, to becoming the First.
Let me Please You for ever, Lord.
Thank You Father. In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
The Scripture teaches that when you want your Father’s Blessing you must do something that will Please him.
*I have always told my children jokingly, “I will bless you on Credit, then you will go and Prepare something and bring to your father – Something that will Please him so that the Blessing can then begin to work.”
Isaac said to Esau, “go and get me something that I will enjoy so that I may bless you.”
Esau went, before he came, Jacob had brought something.
The father had eaten, had enjoyed it and had Poured out the Blessing.
By the time Esau came; Papa said, “I have Blessed him, and he will be Blessed.”
I will bless you tonight and I’m going to do it on Credit – Then you will go and do something that will make the belly of your father jump for Joy!
Lift your hands to the Almighty God:
