OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON 02/15/2015 IS: SUBJECT: THE UNDERSTANDING OF GOD THAT ESTABLISH US TOPIC: THE UNDERSTANDING OF GOD THAT ERASES ALL NEGATIVITY AND RESTORES POSITIVES WHICH BRING ABOUT CHANGE DATE: SUNDAY MESSAGE FOR FEBRUARY 15, 2015 READING SCRIPTURES: GENESIS 28:1-22 THE UNDERSTANDING OF GOD THAT ERASES ALL NEGATIVITY AND RESTORES POSITIVES THAT BRINGS ABOUT CHANGE: 1. I want you all out there and inside the house of LWFM to take note of the blessings of the Fathers, be it spiritual, biological or forester father, it has a very important role to play in your future and destiny. The life of Jacob who was later changed by God to Israel wouldn’t have come to pass without the blessings of Isaac the father. Honour your parents so that it will be well with you, and for positive change that will bring good tidings in your life to come to pass. See verses 1-5 2. Sometimes Children do some things to get back at their parents, thinking they are doing them to cause them pain, without knowing that they are doing themselves and delaying their destiny as ordained by God. Esau is a good example of this character, just because he did not receive the blessings as the first born according to the Jewish tradition, he decided to go out of order to marry where their father said his children should not marry from, without understanding that the blessings of his junior twin brother was the plan of God and not even his mother who tried to help God could change it, which made the children of Esau today to be aggressive and violent because of act of disobedience of the word of their father. See verse 6-9. 3. When the blessing of your parents goes with you where ever you go, particularly the blessings of your father, you will become a celebrated child that will find favour with God and Man. Jacob is a very good testimony to this because of his obedience to the parents and the understanding of the destiny blessings of the linage of his grand father Abraham that was speaking upon his life, which drew the hands of God upon him to fulfil the promises of God. See verses 10-11. 4. Take note that to walk in the understanding of God that will establish you and erase all evil and bad names given to you unknowingly by your parents or by evil men and enemies of progress that manipulates peoples destiny, which you carry about without understanding the consequences of the name you bear and its effect on your life, you need an encounter with God who is the only one who is able to change that name as it happened in the encounter with Jacob on his way to his uncle Laban home at Luz where in dream he had heaven opened and the Angels of God ascending and descending, then the voice of God came and pronounced the same blessing he pronounced on his grandfather Abraham to him to possess the land that he laid his head on at Luz including nations of the world. This kind of encounter is only for the Lords chosen ones. See verses 12-14. 5. I want you to be very observant of your environment, even when you are on a Journey like Jacob to his maternal home, or to some of you travelling to a foreign land which you have no idea of the mission of your Journey or where to lay your head on arrival, be sensitive to the purpose of God and his plan for your life in every Journey that you take in life for you never can say when you will have the encounter of life that will turn all things around for your good in even when you are weak like Jacob running away for his dear life from the brother Esau. Your love for God can open all doors for you. Jacob said in his encounter with God that he didn’t know that God was in that place LUZ and that it was the gate way to heaven because he heard God spoke and pronounced all blessings he needed in life with his generations to come. It takes just one encounter with God to make you. He called the place the house of God. See verses 15-17 6. Finally Jacob took four bold steps to appreciate and give thanks to the Almighty God for what he has done for him and his offspring’s as follows: a) Jacob took the stones he laid his head on and used it to build an Altar of God right there where God changed his name to Israel. b) He poured oil on that Altar (The Anointing oil) to sanctify the Altar c) He changed the name of the place from Luz to Bethel House of God d) He made a vow to God that if he will see him through in his Journey to go safely and come back safely, that he will give back one over ten (1/10) of all that he blesses him with known as tithe. Think about the four steps Israel took and begin to implement them in your life to fulfill your purpose on earth and inherit Gods Kingdom. See verse 15-22. 7. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to walk in Godly understanding that will enable you to have an encounter with God that will erase all evil and bad names given to you, and empower you to change the evil names that your environment bears that hinders you from fulfilling your destiny, learn to build Godly Altar where ever you are, anoint your environment with anointing oil and pray prayers of vow to reap the blessings of God in Jesus name Amen. Genesis 28:1-22 English Standard Version (ESV) Jacob Sent to Laban 28 Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and directed him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women. 2 Arise, go to Paddan-aram to the house of Bethuel your mother's father, and take as your wife from there one of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother. 3 God Almighty[a] bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may become a company of peoples. 4 May he give the blessing of Abraham to you and to your offspring with you, that you may take possession of the land of your sojournings that God gave to Abraham!” 5 Thus Isaac sent Jacob away. And he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban, the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother. Esau Marries an Ishmaelite 6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he directed him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women,” 7 and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and gone to Paddan-aram. 8 So when Esau saw that the Canaanite women did not please Isaac his father, 9 Esau went to Ishmael and took as his wife, besides the wives he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth. Jacob's Dream 10 Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran. 11 And he came to a certain place and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep. 12 And he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder[b] set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it! 13 And behold, theLORD stood above it[c] and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring. 14 Your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you andyour offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” 16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.” 17 And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.” 18 So early in the morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. 19 He called the name of that place Bethel,[d] but the name of the city was Luz at the first. 20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, 21 so that I come again to my father's house in peace,then the LORD shall be my God, 22 and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house. And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you.” Watch out for our FEBRUARY 2015 daily words of Exhortations on “EMPOWERMENT TO WALK IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF GOD THAT WILL ESTABLISH YOU" TOMORROW FEBRUARY 16, 2015.
