Topic: MORE THAN FREEDOM
Memory Verse: Isaiah 49:25 – But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will content with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
Bible Reading: 2 Kings 4:1-7
Message: God doesn’t know how to be stingy; whatever He does, He does generously. David said in Psalm 23:5, “…thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over”. That is God’s nature; when He gives you something, He gives it to you in abundance.
One day many years ago while I was preaching, the Lord said there was someone in the congregation who would get three breakthroughs. The first was to be given completely to Him, the second shared between the fellow and Him and then the third one would be for the fellow alone. Sometime later, a woman came to me with a huge amount of money and said she had come to fulfil her part of the bargain. I knew this woman- she was a widow whose husband had left a huge debt upon his death. She however, insisted that the prophecy was for her and I couldn’t do anything to dissuade her. Not long after, she returned with more money, saying this was half of the second breakthrough. After this, she came back with a testimony: the bank her husband had been indebted to called her to apologise, saying they had made a mistake and rather than her husband owing them, they were the ones owing him! They paid the money to her and it was a lot. When God sets you free from debt, He does it such that it will be difficult for you to get into debt again. If you are in debt now, the All-Sufficient God will set you free from it, in Jesus’ name.
John 8:36 says, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed”. When a person is medically healed from an ailment, there might still be traces left behind, but when Jesus sets you free, He does it perfectly, making you whole. If you have been in any form of bondage, receive total freedom right now, in Jesus’ name.
Not only will God set you free indeed, He can even empower you to set captives free (Mark 16:17), so that You would cast out demons from their victims. This privilege is given to God’s children who are ready to fast and pray often (Matthew 17:21).
Hymn: All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name
Points: Father, please set me free from all forms of bondage and use me to set captives free.
Bible in one year: 2 Kings 9, 2 Kings 10
Title: All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name!.
Chorus: null.
1. All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ name! Let angels prostrate fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.
2. Crown Him, ye martyrs of our God,Who from His altar call;
Extol the stem of Jesse’s rod.
And crown Him Lord of all.
3. Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race.A remnant weak and small,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all.
4. Ye Gentile sinners, ne'er forgetThe wormwood and the gall;
Go, spread your trophies at His feet,
And crown Him Lord of all.
5. Let every kindred, every tribe,On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all.
6. O that with yonder sacred throngWe at His feet may fall.
Join in the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all.
