Powerful Declarations: Powerful Declarations For Today 11 September 2022

Today’s Powerful Confession: I confess today that even though the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing, the kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the me, and against his anointed, their plans are frustrated because He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Hallelujah!

PRAYER POINTS

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

See you tomorrow.

The move of God in every generation is always undeniable. From the Bible we see that God works with men who choose to obey and yield to Him and raises some to become mighty prophets and pastors who lead His people. God uses them in such great and strange ways that the whole of creation is compelled to pause and watch in awe.

Just as He did with men in scripture, God has and still does mighty things through men in our dispensation. This is why we’ll be looking at some powerful and mysterious acts by God’s Generals of old in Nigeria.

Some of these acts go unrecorded while others are recorded and documented for the sake of remembrance – some physical monuments and evidences still exist till date to serve as a reminder to us.

The same way God confirmed the words of the Apostles through signs and wonders in scripture (Mark 16:20), God did with these men who walked this earth.

In this post, we will be sharing 5 powerful acts God performed through His servant Apostle Joseph Ayodele Babalola and some of his recorded signs and miracles.

Apostle Babalola was born on the 25th of April 1904 and from birth, God’s hand was seen in his life. His mother narrated the several encounters she had before his birth. Angels appeared to her on her way to the farm telling her of the mighty man she was about to give birth to.

On the night of his birth, there was a very heavy rain fall and thunder like never before.

Below are 5 of the many miracles God wrought through the hands of his servant Apostle Joseph Ayodele Babalola.

1) RAISING A DEAD BOY

The first mind blowing wonder of this season of revival performed through the hands of Apostle Joseph Ayodele Babalola was the raising of a dead child.

The mother of the dead child was overjoyed and like the woman at the well, went about spreading the news around the town of Ilesa proclaiming that a miracle working prophet had come to the town of Oke-Oye. This announcement drew a large number of people to Oke-Oye to see the servant of God.

2) PRAYING ON THE MOUNTAIN

Apostle Joseph Ayodele Babalola was a man of prayers. He spent several days on mountains praying.

On a mountain called “ori oke Aanu” (Mountain of mercy) in Erio-Ekiti in Ekiti state, Nigeria, this patriarch of faith knelt and prayed for many days and his knees were said to have mysteriously pierced through the hard rock from long hours of kneeling to pray leaving a giant hole in the rock. The hole remains there till date.

3) HEALING MALARIA

In Oke-Oye, a town in Ilesa in Osun state, in the year 1932 during a great revival, Apostle Ayo Babalola healed people of malaria during the time of a malaria plague that was deadly.
Drugs were limited at this time but the power of God was not.

4) FASTING AND PRAYERS AND THE PYTHON.

“Once, while he was in a prayer retreat at Ido-Ajinare in Ekiti State, after hours of prayer, he heard a sound of a moving object in which the Lord instructed him not to open his eyes. As he continued in prayer, a large python crawled over him. Later God instructed him to open his eyes and he readily obeyed. Just a little distance from where he was lying down, the Lord pointed to the python who had been roasted as if an electric current had shocked it.

With this evidence, God told him that he had turned him to coal of fire and that he had now become untouchable for evil powers. His dedicated prayer life and the manifestation of signs and wonders through charismatic gifts exposed the weakness and emptiness of most of the existing churches at the same time. His prayer life has become a challenge to the past, present and future generations of Christians. Evangelist Babalola was known to fast often for many days.

At times, he would engage in marathon fasting and prayers for up to forty days. During this period, he would retreat to a secluded place or mountain tops to wait upon the Lord. There were many locations which he had taken as his prayer resort. Some of the most prominent ones were hill tops at Ido Ajinare, Ikoyi, Efon Alaye and Erio” – CAC – Oke Igbala Araromi

5) HEALING OF BLINDNESS FROM A DISTANCE

On a particular day, the mother of a man of God called Fabunmi (who was then a little blind boy) locked him up at home and went to attend a crusade by the patriarch of the CAC, Apostle Ayo Babalola. While the mother prayed at the crusade, her little blind boy received his miracle behind closed doors at home.

“From afar I heard the voice of Babalola saying that those who were sick should place their hand on their ailing parts. I quickly complied and to my surprise, a ray of light filled the room and within a few minutes I could see again’’ Fabunmi explained.

God used his servant Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola to trigger a spiritual awakening during his time. This revival ushered people into a season of strange signs, wonders and occurrences. Babalola was a man who had strange passion for prayer and through the help of the Holy Spirit, he spent a large part of his life fasting and praying. He is said to have fasted for 40 days and nights more than twice in his life.

Do you know this man of God, leave a comment below.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 10 SEPTEMBER 2022 MEMORIZE: For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Psalms 100:5

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 10 SEPTEMBER 2022 BIBLE READING EZEKIEL 34:12-16

12. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

13. And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

14. I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

15. I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.

16. I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 10 SEPTEMBER 2022 MESSAGE

The Psalmist in our memory verse for today boldly testified that God is good. One would think he said that because he had it all rosy and smooth. On the contrary, Davids life was not smooth. He was the last born of his father and a shepherd boy who tended the flock until he was anointed king.

After Samuel anointed him king, it took many years of struggle before he could sit on the throne. He ran from Saul who was after his life, slept in caves, begged for food et cetera. Despite all he went through, he could still say, “The LORD is good;”

Our God is good! You had better believe this because what you believe is what will work for you. Many people, when going through difficult times, think God is partial or wicked. It does not matter what anyone thinks, God is good. My life is a testament to the fact that God is good. No matter what I face in my walk with God, I will always testify that God is good.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 10 SEPTEMBER 2022 KEY POINT

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE: Leader should remind members on reasons why they should be grateful to God always.

MEMORY VERSE: “For Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death”. 2 Corinthians 7-10

BIBLE TEXT: EZEKIEL 18:27-32

27. Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.

28. Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

29. Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?

30. Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

31. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

32. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Sin entered the world through Adam along with death which is the penalty for sin – Romans 5:12. The guilt and penalty of sin has been transferred from generation to generation to all descendant of Adam; that is, all mankind. According to Romans 5:23 all have sinned and come short of God’s glory. The soul that sins shall die Ezekiel 18:4, so all deserve to die.

God however in his infinite mercy and love for mankind has made a way of escape from death by sending His son Jesus Christ to die for the forgiveness of sins. John 3:16, Matthew 1:21.
This salvation and its benefits can only be accessed through repentance and turning to Jesus. Act.5:30-31.

LEADER’S DIARY.
LESSON AIM: To have understanding of what repentance is and its benefits.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, members should be able to:
i. Know what repentance is
ii. get understanding of benefits that repentance brings.

TEXT REVIEW: EZEKIEL 18:27-32
i. repentance keeps one from experience God’s wrath.
ii. God does not want any of His creature to die in their sin.

LESSON OUTLINE ONE
WHAT IS REPENTANCE?
1. To repent is to have a change of mind, a change of heart or a change of direction.

2. It is like a driver going in a wrong direction who suddenly realizes his error, make a U-turn and faces the right direction. The prodigal son who abandoned his farther in Luke15:17-21 changed his mind and returned to the father.

3. To repent is to turn away from sin and turn to righteousness.
Zacchaeus repented of his sinful ways and Jesus confirmed that salvation had come into his house. Luke 19:8-9

4. To repent is to turn away from serving the devil and letting Jesus Christ become the master. Saul the persecutor of the church – Act 8:3, repented and became Paul the servant of Jesus Christ. Romans 1:1

LESSONS OUTLINE TWO
RESULTS OF REPENTANCE.
1. Forgiveness of sins. Acts 5:31

2. God gives a new heart. Ezekiel. 36:26

3. Transformation. Ephesians 4:22-24

4. Deliverance from woes and curses. Galatians 3:13-14

5. Access to exceeding great and precious promises. 2 Peter 1:4

6. Having access to new nature and new abilities 2 corinthians 5:17

ACTIVITY: List few names of those that refused the offer of salvation in the Bible

SUMMARY:When you repent from your sin, you would be referred to His scene (divine locationof His mercy).

CONCLUSION: The person that refuse to repent will perish – Luke 13:5. However, God does not want anyone to perish but that all should come to repentance – 2 Peter 3:9. That is why Luke 15:10 says that Angels rejoice in heaven over one sinner that repents.
Therefore repentance should not be delayed. Repent NOW!!!

PRAYER POINTS:

BIBLE PASSAGE: ACTS 17:22-27 (KJV)

[22]Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.

[23]For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

[24]God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

[25]Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

[26]And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

[27]That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

MEMORY VERSE: ‘‘That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.’’ Philippians 3:10 (NKJV).

INTRODUCTION: Within all of us, there exists a strong desire to be known and to know others. More importantly, there is a void in every individual – a quest to know their creator, even if they are not professed believers in God. The apostle Paul expressed his desire to truly know God (Phil.3:10). It is therefore important to address the issue of seeking and truly knowing God.

OUTLINES:
1. SEEKING GOD IS INEVITABLE
2..SECRETS TO TRULY KNOWING GOD

1. SEEKING GOD IS INEVITABLE
A. Our desire to seek and know more of God is the essence of true life (Jn.17:3; Jer.50:4).

B. The thoughts of God should be paramount in our minds because they will determine the value and direction of our lives (Ps. 48:9; 63:6).

C. Seeking God, then, is an ongoing responsibility and privilege for all Christians (Job 5:8).

D. Therefore, Scriptures admonish us to seek God:
i. Wholeheartedly (Deut.4:29).
ii. Early in life (Ps.63:1; Eccl.12:1).
iii. Continually (Ps.105:4).
iv. With joy (Ps. 70:4).
v. By prayer and supplications
vi. With fasting (Dan.9:3).
vii. Through His righteousness (Matt.6:33).
viii. By studying His word (Jn. 5:39).

E. Assuredly, those who seek God under the conditions stated above shall:
i. Find Him (Jer. 29:13).
ii. Be satisfied (Matt. 5:6).
iii. Understand all things (Prov. 28:5).
iv. Not lack any good thing (Ps.34:10).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Class should mention others ways through which we can seek God.

2. SECRETS TO TRULY KNOWING GOD
A. In an attempt to know God, we must:
i. Receive Jesus Christ into our lives (Jn.1:12): Jesus makes it clear that He alone is the way to Heaven and personal knowledge of God (Jn.14:6-9).

ii. Understand that the Bible is God’s word and a revelation of Himself, His promises, and His will (Jn.1:1; Ps.119:105). The Bible is essentially a love letter written to us from a loving God who created us to know Him intimately (2 Tim. 3:14-17).

iii. Be committed to obeying what we read in the Scriptures (Tit.1:16; Jn.15:14). We were created to do good works (Eph.2:10). Not only must we read and understand God’s word, but we must also apply doctrines obediently and remain faithful (Jam.1:21-22).

iv. Be committed to prayer, personal devotion, fellowship with brethren (Heb.10:25) and, always worship God in spirit and in truth (Jn.4:23-24).

v. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us always (Rom. 8:14, 26-27).

B. Then, our lives can be filled with God, and we can experience knowing Him intimately.

CLASS ACTIVITY 2: Students should share with the class things that have increased their knowledge of God.

CONCLUSION: If we genuinely hunger and thirst to know God, He will reveal Himself to us.

OPENING: Father, give me the understanding of what I need to do to know you.

BIBLE PASSAGE: ACTS 17:22-27 (KJV)

[22]Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.

[23]For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

[24]God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

[25]Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

[26]And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

[27]That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

MEMORY VERSE: ‘‘That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.’’ Philippians 3:10 (NKJV).

INTRODUCTION: Within all of us, there exists a strong desire to be known and to know others. More importantly, there is a void in every individual – a quest to know their creator, even if they are not professed believers in God. The apostle Paul expressed his desire to truly know God (Phil.3:10). It is therefore important to address the issue of seeking and truly knowing God.

LESSON OUTLINES
1. SEEKING GOD IS INEVITABLE
2. KEYS TO TRULY KNOWING GOD

SEEKING GOD IS INEVITABLE
Our desire to seek and know more of God is the essence of true life (John 17:3; Jeremiah 50:4). The thoughts of God should be paramount in our minds because they will determine the value and direction of our lives (Psalm 48:9; 63:6). Seeking God, then, is an ongoing responsibility and privilege for all Christians (Job 5:8). Therefore, Scriptures admonish us to seek God wholeheartedly (Deuteronomy 4:29); early in life (Psalm 63:1; Eccl. 12:1); continually (Psalm 105:4) with joy (Psalm 70:4); by prayer and supplications, with fasting (Daniel 9:3); through His righteousness (Matthew 6:33) and by studying His word (John 5:39).
Assuredly, those who seek God under the conditions stated above shall find Him (Jeremiah 29:13) and be satisfied (Matthew 5:6); they shall understand all things (Proverbs 28:5 and shall not lack any good thing (Psalm 34:10).

KEYS TO TRULY KNOWING GOD
In an attempt to know God, we must:
1. Receive Jesus Christ into our lives (John 1:12): Jesus makes it clear that He alone is the way to Heaven and personal knowledge of God (John 14:6-9).
