Three Reasons Why People Worry. || Rev. Funke Felix Adejum

1. Regret Over The Past.

All of us have done things in our lives that we are not proud of. If God should show you the tapes of everyone’s life, you will be shocked. Stop regrètting. You worry because you regret(I wish I did not do it).

When God forgives you, He dumps your sin into the ocean.
You have been forgiven..
You have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

1. Ingratitude Over The Present.

I went to greet somebody in the hospital some time ago and I was hearing a terr!ble noise. So, I decided to go there. When i got to that place, I saw this elderly man burnt. He was in pa!ns. And physiotherapist was trying to raise his hand up, that was why the man was screaming. And here was I, I could raise my hands.
So, I said, “God, thank you”. It’s a privilege to be able to raise my hands and I shouted “hallelujah “

You must be grateful to God. You may not be where you ought to be now, but you are not where you used to be.
Are there no people that are worse than you?

Some of you are saying, “I’m even married, and I don’t have a child”.
Do you know why? You have not thank God enough that you are even married.
Who are you to be married? You think is a right? There are ladies that are better than you, prettier than you, that are not married.
So, give thanks to the Lord. Thank Him for your present, thank Him for your past, thank Him for the future. Thank Him and continue thanking Him. Use gratitude to slap the Devil. When the Devil is showing you things God has not done, display the things God has done.

When you are driving your car and you have a flat tyre, come out from the car and say, “thank you Lord that I even have a car”. Some of your mates don’t even have legs, some don’t have cars…

1. Anx!ety About The Future.

God knows your future and He knows what to do. He’s coming with a miracle. The bible says that Jesus took the loaves and He gave thanks.

Give God extraordinary praise, you will see how the bread in your hand will be multiplied. And be grateful to the Lord, because better days are coming for you.

Two Dimensions To The Prophetic || Apostle Joshua Selman
------------
There are two dimensions to the prophetic. The first dimension of the prophetic is called revelatory dimension. And the assignment of revelatory dimension is to exalt and comfort by supplying by the wisdom of the spirit, information that brings direction, that brings perspective and helps to interpret the happens around your life as it relate to your destiny and God's program.

But the more superior dimension of the prophetic, is called the creative dimension of the prophetic. This one does not reveal, it makes what has no business happening, to happen. So, when the prophet said, "by this time tomorrow", he was not giving them privilege information, nothing would have happened tomorrow. But by the prophetic, he programmed an event that had no business happening.

So, I can tell you for instance, maybe your name is John and you will say "yes". How do you know? That is the revelatory dimension of the prophetic.
But when I speak to you and say, "in thy name of Jesus, may your helpers show up", and someone who has no business coming to your life, it falls upon a helper like a mantle and literally redirects the cause of his life, until that word stays.

This is why you see our father's of faith, they may not necessarily give you direct revelation. But men like Baba Adeboye will say, "There is someone here, the Lord said I should tell you, that, it will be your season of laughter", and people shout "amen" very casually.
Let me tell you what happens. When a prophetic word that is genuine is released, the spirit of wisdom goes into motion immediately, like a movie director, he begins to find the human components who must partner with prophesy. That how it works.

So, when I say, "in the name of Jesus, let a helper rise", the word does not die. The spirit of wisdom, with partnership with the Angelic, will now begin to move across places and then come to men. Now, men have their will, they can rejèct being use by God and He will keep using someone else.
If Mary rejècted being use by God, God will not force her, He will look for another virgin. That's why there was no name "Mary" written in prophesy. It was written "a virgin shall conceive", any virgin at all.

That is why the Angel came to Mary, "God wants to use your womb", she said "be it into me", ( I agree to partner with prophesy).

God uses men, but you don't chose men for Him to use, you look unto Jesus. And there is 8.2billion people on earth. If one man refuses, God will raise another one.
Let God chose the men He will use to help you.

2 Kings 7:17-18 Now the king had put the officer on whose arm he leaned in charge of the gate, and the people trampled him in the gateway, and he d!ed, just as the man of God had foretold when the king came down to his house. It happened as the man of God had said to the king: "About this time tomorrow, a seah of flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria."

The real proof of power, is that what you say, comes to pass. Power is not falling and rising.
When a man of God fast and prays, and he keeps building his spiritual man, it is so that by mercy and grace, he can access superior dimension of spiritual power, that when you speak, your word do not become barren of performance.p

There Are Pillars That Must Not Be Compromise In Your Life. || Apostle Joshua Selman
--------
The bible said, the man Samson, through carelessness, He lost the secret and the covenant and the consecration that protected his oil.
But like every anointing, there are consecration that protects the oil. You don't need to bother about the oil depleting, if you maintain the rudiments of the consecration.

And in this case, He fell to carèlèssness and Delilah lured him. The bible said, He got up like before, and found out his hair had gone. The symbol of his strength.
And the first thing they pluck out, was his eyes. They took away his capacity to see.

At the end of his life, he reach out his hands to one of the pillars. Whilst there was crowd, môck!ng the God of heavens and môck!ng him, he prayed a prayer, "God, will you restore one last time. I know that I missed it".
Whilst the hair of Samson was growing back, the people were too distracted to see what God was doing. And with one push....
He did not push everyone, he only push two pillars.

There are things that you touch and everything crumbles, they are called pillars.
There are pillars that must not be compromise in your life;
Your prayer life
Your word study life
Your passion for God
It is better to cancel an invitation and honor the one between you and God, than to be around everywhere and yet, your secret place is empty.

Is time to get back, he's not seen your face for a long time because you are busy being a celebrity. Remember where he took you from. Shut the gate and rebuild the pillars.

Samson push the pillars and with the pillars falling, everything fell. That he k!lled more people at his déath than he did in his life time.

Only fòól!sh people, will put their pillars in front of the stage for everybody to see. In ancient temples, the pillar of anything, is the reason why that thing stands.
A pillar represents the secret of your stability, you don't put it on stage. A pillar is hidden in the secret place. The pillar is your prayer life. There are things that are not for public. It is what keeps you standing, it is your covenant with God, you don't throw it away on stage. But they build the pillars on stage.

Where you have fa!led, through att@cks, through carêlèssness, because you were not born again. I speak to you, let this be a voice of mercy...
May my God start with you again, empower you again, anoint you again.. In the name of Jesus Christ.

The person that want to cheat with you will cheat on you. Cheating wont stop because he says "I do". The wedding doesn't change your character.

Many people think, once i climb this Holy alter once i say "I do", am a change man.... No!
If you are watching pornography now, you will still watch it in marriage.
If you are mastaubating now, you will still mastaubate in marriage..
*If you have no financial sense now, you will have none then..

Nothing is going to change, except that now, your action directly affect other human being. Thats all that is going to change. Before, all your action only affected you.

Everybody have a spirit influencing them.
Ephesians 2:1.. As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

*If you marry someone that is not born again, he's spiritually dead.
My wife always say, how many of you will go to a mortuary to pick a fine boy or because he's rich? Yet, he's a corpse. That is how it is when you as a believer marries an unbeliever.

*When some people married an unbeliever and complain he's is drinking, cheating... What do you expect him to be doing? Is like saying a sinner is sinning.
