Topic: FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT IV

Memory Verse: Leviticus 26:9 – For I will have respect unto you and make you fruitful and multiply you and establish my covenant with you.
Bible Reading: Genesis 1:26-31

Message: Darkness is linked with barrenness. This implies that light is equivalent to fruitfulness. When you study the Scriptures, you will see that God is interested in your fruitfulness. The very first commandment He gave to man is “Be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28). In Exodus 23:26, the Almighty God said clearly: “There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfiln. I am decreeing, that if you are trusting God for the fruit of the womb, you will carry your own twins soon, in Jesus’ name.

There are some cases of barrenness where the doctor cannot see anything wrong with the couple because the devil is at work. A woman’s mother-in-law once visited her house and said, “My daughter, eat this bread and use it to block your womb”. The girl ate it, not taking the woman’s words seriously. From that day, she stopped menstruating for several years. Thank God we held a programme in her town that ran for some days. One afternoon during the programme, she slept and had a dream. In the dream, some people dressed like medical doctors laid her on the table, opened up her belly and began to pull out a rope. The rope was very long, and at the end of the rope was a very black piece of bread. By the time she woke, she saw that the bed was wet with her menstrual flow. The last time I heard from her, she already had 5 children. Whatever darkness has used to stop your fruitfulness – whether it is in child-bearing or otherwise, the Light will deal with it.

Some people asked me not too long ago, “Why are you against same-sex marriage?” I asked in turn, “How Will two men or two women produce a child?” They mentioned adoption, but who is going to produce the child they are going to adopt? If we all adopt this lifestyle, the human race would become extinct in less than a hundred years. I told them, “The devil is a liar”. I don’t care what people or organisations say, I will stand by the truth. The word of God is clear: “Be fruitful and multiply”.

Anyone trying to do anything that disobeys that instruction is disobeying God Himself.

Hymn: Take My Life And Let It Be


Points: Father, as You have commanded me to be fruitful, my body and all that concerns me will obey that command and bear fruit, in Jesus’ name.
Bible in one year: Jeremiah 47, Jeremiah 48

Title: Take My Life and Let It be.
Chorus: null.

  1. Take my life and let it be

Consecrated Lord to Thee
Take my moment and my days
Let them flow ceaseless praise.

  2. Take my hands and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee

  3. Take my voice and let me sing

Always only for my king;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.

  4. Take my sliver and my gold

Not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as thou shalt choose.

  5. Take my will and make it Thine,

It shall no longer mine:
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,

  6. Take my love, my Lord, I pour 

At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for thee
