Topic: OPPOSITIONS IN LIFE

Memory Verse: John 16:33 – These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Bible Reading: Mark 10:46-52

Message: In life there are oppositions everywhere. Once you by to do something good, there would be oppositions to stop you. If you think that you cannot have oppositions because you don’t have enemies, then you are being ignorant. Proverbs 14:20 says:

The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.

No one would have thought that Bartimaeus would have so many enemies until he began to cry for light. Some people are just not comfortable when they see others succeeding, so they want to bring them down. Like Bartimaeus, you must never allow them to stop you from achieving your goal. It doesn’t matter what they say or do to keep you low, keep doing all you can to succeed. If you don’t let them keep you low, when you succeed, they will be the first to celebrate with you.

After you have overcome the oppositions that tried to keep you low, as you begin to succeed, your enemies would increase. This is only natural. Your enemies are few when you have nothing but when you live in a mansion and have more than one car in your house, you will need more protection.

Whether the devil likes it or not, you will prosper and increase. The plan of God for your life is for you to excel and that plan will be fulfilled, in Jesus’ name.

The oppositions I faced when I became a Pastor are different from the ones I faced when I became the General Overseer of the Church. The higher you go, the bigger the oppositions will be. This is not to frighten you, but to prepare you for reality. When you know that you will have many oppositions, you will be prepared to fight so the enemy cannot surprise you.

The higher a building is, the deeper the foundation that must be built to carry it. The time I spent in prayer when I was just a Pastor in the Church is little compared to how many hours I spend in prayer now as the General Overseer. If you want to get to the highest level in Wei then you must be willing to go to the deepest level in God.

Hymn: Immortal, Invisible God Only Wise
Points: The height you want to get to in life will determine the depth that you must reach in God
Bible in one year: 2 Chronicles 32, 2 Chronicles 33, 2 Chronicles 34

Title: Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise.
Chorus: null.

  1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,

In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.

  2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,

Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might!
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above,
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.

  3. To all life Thou givest to both great and small; 

In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish-but nought changeth Thee.

  4. Great Father of Glory, pure Father of Light,

Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All laud we would render; O help us to see;
‘Tis only the splendour of light hideth Thee.
