PASTOR PATRICK ASEKOME SERMON ON THANKSGIVINGOF AMAZING MIRACLES.

MESSAGE FOR 2/11/2014

FROM THE PULPIT: THANKSGIVING OF AMAZING MIRACLES

Amazing miracle is something of astonishment; it is an extraordinary event that can take place through divine intervention.

The first amazing miracle in the history of mankind was the miracle that took place at the beginning of creation of the earth. When God commanded the earth to bring forth non-existing things and all came into existence.

v How Can We Provoke Amazing Miracles?

We can provoke amazing miracles through the power of the spoken Word of God. Romans 4:17C says that God is the God who calls things that are not as though they were. Psalm 33:6A says that by the Word of the Lord were the heavens made and in Psalm 33:9 the bible records that when God spoke, it was done and when He commanded, it stood fast.

Do you want to experience an amazing miracle this week? You have to do it by provoking the expected miracle of your desire by the Word of God (Matthew 21:22). God said to Isaiah in Isaiah 51:16A I have put my Words in thy mouth. The same God said to Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1: 9 that He had put His Words in his mouth after God touched the mouth of Jeremiah with His hands. You do not wait until God touches your mouth. God has made provision for you to read His word and meditate on it (Joshua 1:8)

As if that is not enough for our understanding, it has been confirmed in Romans 10:8 that the word of God is near us; it is even in our mouth and also in our heart. The bible calls the Word of God, the Word of faith. In other words, before you can provoke an amazing miracle, you must meditate on the word in your heart and release it into a spoken word by faith while expecting the manifestation of the miracles.

In the book of Acts 3:1-6, Peter and John were on their way to the temple when they met a certain lame man; lame from His mother’s womb begging for alms at the gate of the temple. These two men (Peter and John) stood by faith and fastened their eyes upon him and said look on us. This was done in order to join the faith of the lame man with their faith. Peter now said to this man, silver and gold have I none but such as I have I give thee. Peter commanded him to rise up and walk in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and at the command of the word from the mouth of peter; empowered in the name of Jesus Christ, he took the man’s right hand and lifted him up by faith and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength and the man stood up leaping and walked into the temple praising God.  What an amazing miracle provoked by the spoken Word of God. It is worth giving thanks today for the expectation of your amazing miracles.

The only reason that will make it not happen is if your name is not written in the book of life. Jesus is the Word of God that you can call to empower the word from your mouth.

But how can He answer you if you have not accepted Him as your Lord and Savior. Accept Him today and experience the difference. Remain Blessed.

our history

                           OUR HISTORY

In July 1909, a son was born into the Akindayomi family of Ondo State of Nigeria. Even though this child grew up surrounded by idol worshippers, he knew there existed a greater power and yearned to know,

“The God who created the earth and everyone on it”. This pursuit for God led him to the Church Missionary Society where he was baptized in 1927. Still spiritually unfulfilled, he joined the Cherubim and Seraphim church in 1931.

Whilst there, he began to hear a voice within him saying, “You will be my servant.” Since this was not his intention, he decided to ignore the voice. This went on for seven years during which all the business ventures that he tried resulted into failure. In debt and without peace of mind, he found himself totally dependent on the grace of God. Here marked the beginning of a definite relationship with God.Totally broken, he yielded saying, “Lord, I will go wherever you want me to go.” He asked for signs to confirm that this was indeed God’s call. The confirmation came through the Bible passages of Jeremiah 1:4-10, Isaiah 41:10-13 and Romans 8:29-31. The Lord assured him that He would provide for all his needs, as he would not receive any salary from that point on. This proved to be a comforting reminder during the trials in the months ahead. He became married in 1941. He continued to worship with the Cherubim and Seraphim. In 1947, he started to become concerned that the church was departing from the true Word of God in some of its practices. By 1952, he felt totally persuaded to leave the church. He started at Willoughby Street, Ebute-Metta, Lagos a housefellowship called, the Glory of God Fellowship. Initially there were nine members but before long the fellowship rapidly grew as the news of the miracles that occurred in their midst spread.

Pa Akindayomi also had a vision of words that appeared to be written on a blackboard. The words were “The Redeemed Christian Church of God.” Amazingly, Pa Akindayomi who could not read or write was supernaturally able to write these words down. In this visitation, God also said to him that this church would go to the ends of the earth and that when the Lord Jesus Christ appeared in glory, He would meet the church. The Lord then established a covenant with Pa Akindayomi, synonymous to the Abrahamic covenant in the Bible. He said that He the Lord would meet all the needs of the church in an awesome way if only members would serve Him faithfully and be obedient to His Word. It is upon this covenant that the Redeemed Christian Church of God was built.

Thus, the Redeemed Christian Church of God was born in 1952, destined by the Lord Himself to take the world for Him. The church continued to meet at 9 Willoughby Street until they were able to acquire some land thereby witnessing a relocation to the present site of the Headquarters of the church at 1-5 Redemption Way, Ebute-Metta, Lagos (formerly 1a, Cemetery Street).

Sometime in the early 70s, God had spoken to Pa Akindayomi about his successor. The Lord told him that this man who was not a member of the church then, would be a young educated man. Thus when a young university lecturer joined the church in 1973, Papa was able to recognize him in the Spirit as the one that the Lord had spoken about in the past. This man, Enoch Adejare Adeboye who was then a lecturer of Mathematics at the University of Lagos soon became involved in the church. He became one of the interpreters translating Pa Akindayomi’s sermons from Yoruba to English. He was ordained a pastor of the church in 1975.

Papa was preparing to meet his Creator. He sent for Pastor Adeboye and spent several hours sharing with him details of the covenant and the plans of the Lord for the church. Even though a year before this, the Lord had revealed to Pastor Adeboye that he would be Papa’s successor, it was still too difficult for him to fully contemplate such an awesome responsibility.

Pa Josiah Akindayomi was 71 years old when he died. Amidst controversy, Pastor Adeboye’s appointment was formalized by the reading of Pa Akindayomi’s sealed pronouncement after his burial.

Since 1981, an open explosion began with the number of parishes growing in leaps and bounds. At the last count, there are at least about 2000 parishes of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Nigeria. On the International scene, the church is present in other African nations including C’ote D’Ivoire, Ghana, Zambia, Malawi, Zaire, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Gambia, Cameroon, and South Africa. In Europe the church is spread in England, Germany, and France. In the United States there are parishes in Dallas, Tallahassee, Houston, New York, Washington, and Chicago and also in the Caribbean states of Haiti and Jamaica.

Today, God is still doing marvelous deeds through the Redeemed Christian Church of God, worldwide. One of the well-known programs of the church is the Holy Ghost Service, an all night miracle service that holds on the first Friday of every month at the Redemption Camp at Km. 46, Lagos-Ibadan expressway. The average headcount of those who attend the Service is about 500,000. The Holy Ghost Service now holds in different parts of the world which includes the United Kingdom, India, USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia
