I SHALL NOT BE DEMOTED
(Message of Pastor Olawole Dahunsi)

Text:

 Psalms 92:10-15

 “10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. 11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. 12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. 14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; 15 To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.” 

Psalms 113:4-9

 “4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. 5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, 6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! 7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; 8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. 9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalms 147:3-6 “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.  4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. 5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. 6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.”

1 Samuel 2:7-8

 “7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. 8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them.”

What we are considering today is a prayer topic and I pray for you that any power assigned to demote you shall die in the mighty name of Jesus;

What Is Demotion?

·        To bring a person down from a great height.

·        To reduce someone in rank: reducing someone from being important.

·        To degrade somebody from grace to grass.

·        To lose your status.

·        To relegate to a lesser position

·        To move from up to the ground.

·        To relocate a person from the front to the back.

·        To move from maximum to minimum.

Types of Demotion:

1.      Spiritual demotion

2.      Physical demotion

Spiritual Demotion:when you use to have a good relationship with God and all of a sudden you fall from that grace, you no longer have a good relationship with God. You use to see yourself doing exploit for the Lord but now you are no more doing it again, it means you are spiritually demoted.

Physical Demotion: this is a situation where someone loses his/her position before men either in the office, family, environment, business, etc.

Causes of Demotion:

1.      Sins

2.      Faulty foundation like stealing money to do anything, forged certificate, etc.

3.      Curses and evil covenant

4.      Indiscipline in what you do.

5.      Evil association/company

6.      Wrong marriage

7.      Bad environment

8.      Disobedience and rebellion to the word of God.

9.      Poor giving habit

10.   Lack of wisdom: whenever you want to take any decision always think of the people/destinies that are hanging around you including your family.

11.   Attack: spiritual arrow can be fired to a person to demote him/her.

I pray for you; every spiritual bullet or arrow assigned to demote you shall backfire in Jesus name.

What are the powers that can cause demotion?

1.      Foundational powers: there are some families that do not rise at all and there also that rise to the top and falls suddenly for no reason. 

2.      Household wickedness.

3.      Witchcraft powers

4.      Occultic powers

5.       Environmental powers of darkness.

Effects of Demotion on a Person’s Life:

1.      Abortion of good opportunities, breakthroughs, goodness, success, etc.

2.      Suffering and afflictions

3.      Failures all round

4.      Satanic delay

5.      Physical and spiritual dryness

6.      Setbacks and lack of progress

7.      It will make you a man of reproach and mockery

8.      Dishonor and disrespect

9.      Exchange of position

What Can We Do To Get Out Of Demotion?

1.      Surrender your life to Jesus Christ

2.      Repent of all known and unknown sins

3.      Live a life of integrity and discipline: integrity is who you are even when others are not there.

4.      Engage in spiritual warfare against the spirit of demotion.

5.      Learn how to give because giving promotes a person.

6.      Always barricade your life with the blood of Jesus.

Bow down your heads and begin to talk to God to promote you instead of demotion before you pray these last set of prayers for yourselves.

1.      Demoting powers of my father’s house I am no more your candidate, die in the mighty name of Jesus.

2.      Agents of demotion around me in my father’s house or in my business; fall down and die in Jesus name.

3.      O Lord, arise and promote me by your power in Jesus name.

4.      I shall not be a candidate of demotion but of promotion in Jesus name.

5.      Public announcement; I am no more for demotion but for promotion in the mighty name of Jesus.

God Bless You 

SALVATION IS A JOURNEY
(A Message by Pastor Dahunsi Olawole)

Text:
Galatians 2:20
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
1 Corinthians 15:3
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;”

John 3:16-19
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”
Many people believe that when they are born again, that is all about salvation. Salvation is a continuous process that ought to continue till the day we meet with the Lord and this is to tell us that

SALVATION IS A JOURNEY.
The purpose of this message is to bring us to remembrance;
• That our salvation has a purpose and that as Christians we have a reason why we are here on earth. That is, there is an assignment that we have to do here on earth.
• That we have a place of rest after now; this world is not our resting place.
• That so many of us are already fallen by the way side.
• It is to call us back to God from where we have fallen.
• It is to also remind us that Jesus Christ is coming soon so that we can live ready for His second coming.

 What Salvation Is Not
1. Salvation is not bearing Christian names
2. It is not going to church
3. It is not the position you occupy in the church
4. That your parents are Christians does not mean you are saved because the Bible says salvation is a personal thing.
5. Salvation is not being good and charitable – Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Acts 10 tells us the story of Cornelius who was doing good and helping the needy but he was not born again.
6. Believing that you are righteous is not salvation – Romans 3:10
7. Obeying all the rules/ the ten commandments of God is not salvation – John 3:3
8. Salvation is not praying and fasting.
What Then Is Salvation?
1. Salvation is to be delivered from our sins and all unrighteousness – Romans 3:22
2. It is to be redeemed from the power of sin.
3. Salvation means; repenting from following the life of sin according to Acts 2:38
4. Salvation is to whole heartedly turn to God through His son Jesus Christ - John 3:16
5. When we are saved, it means we have accepted to live the life of Christ. The first process that takes place in the life of a person whom God has saved is that of water baptism while the second thing that happens is baptism of the Holy Ghost.

The journey of salvation is that you continuously grow in Christ – 2 Peter 1:5-9
1. You must grow in good relationship with God: focusing on God and pleasing Him daily.
2. as a child of God, to grow is to study the word of God daily that will continuously direct you on the path of righteousness but unfortunately most Christians do not study their Bible today - Psalms 1:1-2
3. A child of God also grows by constant praying and watching.
4. You must have a good relationship with others.
5. A child of God ensures in assisting to populate the kingdom of God – your lifestyle must advertise Christ always and make people to want to come to church to serve God.
6. You need to attend church service and ensure that you are learning something every day but you need to also know that no matter how consistent you are in church, an unrighteous person will enter into the kingdom of God – Acts 2 and Psalms 122:1
What Do We Do To Be Saved?
1. Search your life and ask yourself the following questions –
• Am I really saved?
• Am I still walking in the path of righteousness or have I deviated?
• How relevant am I in the house of God; if peradventure I am are not in church service, will people miss your presence.
• Can God testify about me – does God really know me to a point that He will say something good about me as He did to Job?
• If all Christians are like me the way I am now, will there be any Christian?
You need to answer these questions for yourself


Close your eyes and reconcile yourself with God as you begin to talk to God before you pray the following prayers;
• My father, if I have failed you have mercy on me in Jesus name
• Every evil/satanic voice directing me to hell fire, I silence you in the mighty name of Jesus.
• Holy Spirit of God; arise, wake me up from my sleep and slumber in Jesus name.
• If my race is towards hell fire; Holy Ghost, return me back to you in Jesus name.
• All the sweet and sugar that Satan is giving me to make me believe in this world; Holy Spirit, take them away from me in Jesus name.
• Every throne of witchcraft in my father’s house, crumble in Jesus name.
• Enemies of good things in my father’s house, die in Jesus name.
• This month; you my habitation reject poverty, shame, disgrace and failure in the mighty name of Jesus.
• Powers that want to fight me and my family this month die in Jesus name.
• I shall not die suddenly; I shall fulfill my days on earth in Jesus name.
• This month I shall be blessed above my contemporaries in Jesus name.
• Any power that has vowed that I will not enjoy this month, die in Jesus name.
• Anything that belongs to me this month shall not be given to another person in Jesus name.

WEIGHED AND FOUND WANTING
(A Message by Pastor Dahunsi Olawole)

 

TEXT: Daniel 5: 25-28
“And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. 26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. 27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. 28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”

LUKE 13: 6-9
“He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. 7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? 8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.”

To weigh means to scale something in a measuring scale. From the passage above, we can see that the king was weighed severally by God, not once.
So to weigh also means:
 To place something/somebody in a balance.
 To measure a person/thing in order to get it true worth or to know the true character
 Using scale to weigh a person’s actions - 1 Samuel 2:3 “Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. ”
 God weighs a person in the balance of justice to know his/her character or position in Him - 1 Samuel 16:7 “But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”

When God finds you wanting, it means:
• That you are found worthless: He sees you to be someone who cannot yield fruits or someone with a reprobate mind.
• You are not up to God’s standard

Statements of Fact
1. A man can be weighed by God and the measurement of God in different from man’s measurement.
2. What God sees is not what men sees
3. God can see beyond what men can see
4. God never uses our standard to measure things: our standards are not God’s standards; the standard of God is far from our standards. Daniel 5:25-28, Romans 12:1-2
The question is: if God weighs you now, how will your service to God be measured, will it be balance or unbalance?

How Does A Christian Dishonor God?
1. When you disrespect the word of God.
2. When you dishonor men of God.
3. Abusing our bodies is an evidence that we are dishonoring God
4. Giving the glory of God to another person
5. Speaking/doing evil
6. Disrespecting God in our giving/tithing: when you want to give God offering or anything, take your time, plan it and bring it to His presence well prepared. Not when it is time for giving/offering, you will be calculating what to give and searching yourself over and over.
7. Doing nothing for God in His vineyard: when they talk about evangelism or any work, you are not doing. It shows that you dishonor God.
8. Being proud and speaking proudly- Luke 12:18
9. To disregard the things of God
10. Fearing man more than your God
11. When sin rules your life and you are not repentant: you are living in sin and keep saying God understands, it means you dishonor God.
12. When you maltreat your children/maltreating the poor.
God weighs a person irrespective of his/her position or works in the vineyard of God and the question again is: if God weighs you today, what will be your weight-will He fined you wanting or will you meet the standard of God?
God is interested in our personal relationship with Him, our holy living and our spiritual growth. Ask yourself this question ‘am I living a holy life? Am I growing as a Christian or has anything been added to my spiritual life?’
If God weighs you today, will He fined you wanting or will you meet His standard?
Close your eyes and talk to God.

Prayers
1. Father Lord, help me to meet your standard so that I will not fail you in the mighty name of Jesus.
2. Lay your hand on your chest and say; my father whatever is in my heart that will not make me acceptable to you, destroy them in Jesus name.
3. Materials of hell fire in my heart die in Jesus name.
4. Holy spirit of God, heal my heart from every spiritual sickness in Jesus name
5. My father if I have disappointed you, today, correct me and make me acceptable in the name of Jesus
6. Every plan and programme of the enemy for my life, backfire in the name of Jesus.
7. Powers waiting to fight me this week, Holy Spirit of God destroy them in Jesus name.
8. Anywhere I go this week I shall be favoured and honored in Jesus name.
9. This week, I shall not be wounded nor injured in the mighty name of Jesus.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING, HEAVEN OR HELL?
(A Message by Pastor Henry Arikpo)

Text: John 14:1-2
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”

1 Corinthians 2:9
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”

Where are you going, heaven or hell?
This is a question you need to ask yourself and answer it yourself daily. The Bible has told us that Jesus has gone to prepare a place for you and me; of which one day we will meet there to depart no more and that is why you need to ask yourself this question every day.
What I want to tell you is that Hell fire is real and it is very hot; Heaven is also real and sweet but the cross is the only thing between them and for you to enter Heaven, you have to pass through the cross. Where you go after your life on earth depends on the side of the cross you are. True believers are admitted into heaven, while unbelievers are condemned to Hell fire, but it shall not be your portion in Jesus name.
Both places are eternal. Heaven is a place for eternal bliss but hell is a place of eternal torment. There is no going and coming back again; in other words you can call it a place of no return and if you are in, you are in. All the inhabitants are not transferable from either Heaven to Hell or from Hell fire to Heaven. The scripture tells us that there is a glorious end for those who die in Christ and that our journey on earth is not the end of everything. So anything you do on earth without focusing on Heaven is a wasted focus, energy and time.
The road to heaven is straight, narrow and never over crowed because only few people finds it and anyone who do not bear the cross on earth will never wear the crown. This is why it is good for every born again child of God to have the revelation of Heaven because if God shows you what and how Heaven is, you will not take your life for granted.

Facts about Heaven:
1. Heaven is a place prepared by Christ himself for us to have rest. John 14:1-2
2. Heaven is a glorious city; it has pure gold and clear glasses.
3. Heaven is a place known as the New Jerusalem; there is an everlasting life in Heaven and the throne of God occupies the central place.
4. Heaven is a place of godliness: meaning that anything that is not of God or any unclean thing shall not be allowed to enter there. Revelation 21:27
5. Brethren, Heaven is a holy place and anything that is not holy cannot enter there. So many people will be surprised to see others that they least expect in Heaven while the ones they are expecting to see in Heaven may not be there.
6. Heaven is a place of unity
7. A place of perfection and joy, there is no impotency nor sickness in Heaven
8. A place of no thirst or hunger, no night and day but the tree of life will be there to ensure abundant life
9. It’s a place of no tears and sorrow.
However, Heaven is a place for:
• Those who are born again.
• Those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal savior and are living the life of Christ on earth.
• Those who do no other thing but holiness
• Those who are not tired of coming to church to work for their master ‘Jesus Christ’
• Those who carry their cross and follow Jesus daily
The cross is the only ladder long enough to reach Heaven and when you carry the cross of Christ, you are climbing the ladder to Heaven. Until you die on the cross, God does not have anything to do with you.

One open secret about life on earth is that; if you are busy walking your way to Heaven, you will also be busy looking for people that will lead you or follow you to Heaven but if you are not busy walking towards Heaven, you will be busy helping others to Hell fire.
The way to Heaven is straight; any man who walks crookedly will find it difficult to walk towards the way to Heaven.
But I pray for you, any power that is working hard to hinder you from making Heaven shall be disgraced in Jesus name….
Brethren I want to tell you again that, your greatest business in life/on earth is for you to prepare for the next life. Anything you are doing now that leaves you unprepared for Heaven is a waste of time and that is why many people needs to work harder than they are doing now so that they can make Heaven. If you are here; calling yourself a child of God, praying against Satan and still find yourself in Hell, the Devil and his agents will laugh at you and will torment you greatly.
 You have to make up your mind to go to Heaven today. Those who are paying deaf ears to the word of God, going to church and their lives are not changing positively needs to have a change of heart today if they must enter that beautiful city called ‘Heaven’
 You need to repent and cry to God for mercy and grace to make Heaven
 The word of God cannot change, rather we are expected to abide and conform to the word of God. So you need to conform to the word of God
 Do what God wants you to do always; do not copy others
 Let your yes be your yes always before men. Do not deny Jesus because if you deny Jesus on earth, He will deny you in Heaven.
 Do not run after the wealth and riches of this world. Rather run after Heaven, you will have wealth and health.

Some Facts About Hell fire:
1. It is a place of unquenchable fire
2. A place of everlasting dead
3. A place of pains and agony
4. A place of misery and anger
5. A place of eternal separation from God and love ones.
6. A place of undiluted divine anger; it was originally prepared for Satan and his hosts. That means if you go there, you are a trespasser or intruder because Hell was not prepared for you.
7. A place created to last for all eternity
8. A place for consciousness; people there will know where they are.
9. A place of torment and darkness
10. A place of no return that torments the memory. Anyone who ends his/her way in hell will suffer because Satan and his demons will be happy see and torment them. This is the reason why God does not want us to go there.
11. A place where the wicked shall be turned to. They will be sent there to suffer.
But the question you need to answer for yourself now is, are you on the narrow way or on the broad way? The way in which you are travelling on earth will decide your destination.
When you read Luke 16:19-31, we can see from the passage that, the rich man was kind and caring for his brethren but he lacks Jesus in his life because he was always saying no to the things of God (argue about the things of God). If you are always arguing and doubting the things of God, you cannot enter into Heaven.

Who Are Those That Will Go To Heaven?

1. Those that do the will of their father always. They are not distracted by things of this world.
2. Their affections are above and not in this world
3. They are fools for Christ on earth. Isaiah 35:8
4. They live a holy life. Hebrews 12:14
You need to ask yourself this question again, where are you going after here?
Close your eyes as you begin to confess your sins to God.

Prayer Points:

1. Any sin in my life that will take me to hell fire, blood of Jesus flush them out in the name of Jesus
2. Any power blocking my way to Heaven catch fire in Jesus name.
3. Any power in my father’s house that does not want me to make Heaven; hear me and hear me well, die in the name of Jesus.

 

O LORD MAKE ME A DIVINE PHENOMENON
(A Message by Dr. K. Olukoya)

TEXT: John 3:8
“The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.”
The implication of the above passage is that believers are divided into two; those who are born of the spirit and those who are not born of the spirit but one characteristic of those who are born of the spirit is that, they behave and act like wind.

How does the wind act?
You can only hear the wind but you do not know where it is coming from and where it is going; so is every one that is born of the spirit. That is, all those who are born of the spirit are divine phenomenon, they behave like the wind.
I pray for you; may you become a divine phenomenon in the Mighty name of Jesus.
1 Corinthians 4:9
“For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.”
1. If you are born of the spirit, your future will change and you will start interacting with the spirit realm.
2. You will become the principal actor in your family.
3. You will protect yourself from hazards when you become a divine phenomenon.
4. You will become a mathematical problem that the enemy cannot solve.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WIND:

• The wind is a bulldozer
• It is unpredictable
• It is a re-arranger
• It cannot be explained
• It processes motion power
• Possess motion power
• Is a phenomenon
• Cannot be caged
• Is unpredictable
• A cleansing power
• One of the most powerful substance on earth.
• It is a phenomenon; that is why the Bible says anyone who is born again is like the wind.
5. Therefore when men says it is over for you, that is when you will start manifesting/shining like the wind because you are a divine phenomenon.
6. If you get into a mess, the mess will become a message because you are a divine phenomenon.
7. Get yourself ready because people will begin to gossip or talk about you since they cannot explain you again as a phenomenon.
Note: if men can still explain you, your progress/success is not a divine arrangement.
8. God will over rule any law to secure your breakthroughs, when you are a divine phenomenon.
9. God can kill a fellow man, a pharaoh, and Haman for your sake.
10. You are operating at a higher realm.
11. God can kill a Goliath for your sake

Prayer Points.
O God, Arise o Lord, arise and make me a wonder in the name of Jesus.
O God, arise and change the rule for my sake.
O God, make me a divine phenomenon by the power in the blood of Jesus.
O Lord, Make me a mysterious wonder, in the name of Jesus.

Prophetic declarations

The rage of the enemy against you and your family shall backfire in the name of Jesus,
