READ: John 11:38-44

  1. Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
  2. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
  3. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
  4. Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
  5. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
  6. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
  7. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 7-9, Acts 7:44-60

MESSAGE:

In our Bible text for today, Lazarus had been dead for four days. Jesus got to his grave and all He did was to give thanks to God. Thereafter, He called Lazarus out of the grave. One would think He would get there, bind and cast. Some people have queried why I don’t bind and cast demons anytime I mount the pulpit to preach, instead, I go on my knees to sing praises to my Daddy. They have forgotten that the Bible says:

“But Thou art holy, O Thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.” Psalm 22:3

Anywhere a true child of God praises Him, no demon can stay there. Its good to make your prayer requests known to God but its better to praise your way into miracles that you anticipate from God. One of my sons says “Don’t tell God how big your problem is, rather, tell your problem how great your God is”. Do you have any pending prayer request? Switch to praise for the next one week. I assure you that you will testify.

KEY POINT:

Praises can do wonders.

HYMN: ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER

  1. All to Jesus I surrender,
    All to Him I freely give;
    I will ever love and trust Him,
    In His presence daily live.

CHORUS
I surrender all, I surrender all;
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.

  1. All to Jesus I surrender,
    Humbly at His feet I bow;
    Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
    Take me, Jesus, take me now.
  2. All to Jesus I surrender,
    Lord, I give myself to Thee;
    Fill me with Thy love and power,
    Let Thy blessing fall on me.
  3. All to Jesus I surrender,
    Now I feel the sacred flame;
    O the joy of full salvation!
    Glory, glory to His name!
