OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S EASTER SUNDAY SERVICE ON APRIL 5, 2015 IS: 2 KINGS 7: 1-20 AND LUKE 24:1-12 THE INCREASE THAT DESTROYS THE YOKES OF SIEGES AND ENLARGE YOUR COASTS:

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S EASTER SUNDAY SERVICE ON APRIL 5, 2015 IS: 2 KINGS 7: 1-20 AND LUKE 24:1-12 THE INCREASE THAT DESTROYS THE YOKES OF SIEGES AND ENLARGE YOUR COASTS: THE INCREASE THAT DESTROYS THE YOKES OF SIEGES AND ENLARGE YOUR COASTS: 1. I want to begin this message on this resurrection day of our Lord Jesus Christ by giving thanks to God the Father who sent Jesus our Lord and Saviour to redeem us from the curse of law. Jesus Christ resurrection reconciled us to God the Father, opened doors of increase and enlargement, removed the siege of death and replaced it with life and life abundantly for us. 2. This message of enlargement of our coast today wouldn’t have been possible without the great price Jesus paid for us on the cross of Calvary, do you know that? I now sound a note of warning to the children of God who takes the words of prophecies for granted from anointed men of God, Read Isaiah 7:1-14 and Luke 24: 1-12. If unbelievers do not understand the words of prophecies, the elects of God should, and abide by it without questioning or neglecting the benefits of prophecies. The incident of the death of the second in Command to the King of Samaria and also one of his able officers, who made mockery of the words of Prophet Elisha on enlargement and increase on the land, provoked the Prophet because he not only doubted him and the prophecy but he also doubted the God whom he represents, and this cost the officer to the King not to see the increase or eat of it. Watch what you say and do. See verses 1-2 3. Be informed today that God can use anybody to be a blessing to you that will enlarge your coasts and increase your territories. Do not always look down on people or walk in pride that will shut doors of your increase, but be nice to people. The breakthrough that came through the four lepers who were looked down upon as social misfits or classified as persons with disabilities, is a good school of thought for us to learn from on this Easter day as follows:- a) Do not stay where you are, that you do not like and do nothing b) Take adventures or try something you have not done before in life c) If you win glory and if you fail at least you have dome something d) The four lepers said if we die, at least we have made effort to live e) God acted on the word of the Prophet and used the lepers to fulfil it f) Know that God will always use somebody to enlarge your coast. g) Do not depend on yourself alone for everything you need in life. h) The lepers were not greedy; they brought tidings to bless others i) When you are blessed, be a blessing to the needy. j) As a leader give listening ears to those under you in decision making k) The King was not satisfied with the lepers report, but he listened l) The King listening ear destroyed the siege of famine and replaced it with abundance, increase and enlargement that saved lives of a nation. m) Be informed that every prophecy over your life must come to pass only if you believe. Learn to act on the word of God. See verses 3-15 4. If there is nothing you can learn from this message of enlargement of your coasts and increase of your territories, take this home today; that God will always partner with you in all areas of needs in life, only if you are willing to work with him. Your readiness and commitments to the things of God and humanity will always open doors of greatness, success, joy, increase, blessings and enlargement for you and your family. Love your neighbours like the lepers loved their people and their nation irrespective of how they were neglected and abandoned as miscreants, they gave back love and joy. Love all. See verses 16-17 5. Finally I want to sound a note of warning to you my loved ones, members and followers please do not enter into any confrontation with any man of God, whether he is right or wrong in what he is saying in the name of God, please do not challenge or provoke him to an extent that will make he/her to speak words to you with anger, because if he does it will come to pass because he is standing in the office of God and in his anointing to speak. If he is wrong let God judge him and if he is right let his/her prophecy proves it to humanity. I do not want any of you to pay the consequence of death that the officer of the King paid with his life at the time of enlargement and increase. Be blessed. See verses 18-20 6. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power that will enlarge your coast and increase your territories that will enable you to be blessed and to be a blessing to your generation, generations to come, and live an inheritance to your offspring’s in Jesus n Read below: 2 Kings 7:1-20 New International Version (NIV) 7 Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the LORD. This is what the LORD says: About this time tomorrow, a seah[a]of the finest flour will sell for a shekel[b] and two seahs[c] of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.” 2 The officer on whose arm the king was leaning said to the man of God, “Look, even if the LORD should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?” “You will see it with your own eyes,” answered Elisha, “but you will not eat any of it!” The Siege Lifted 3 Now there were four men with leprosy[d] at the entrance of the city gate. They said to each other, “Why stay here until we die? 4 If we say, ‘We’ll go into the city’—the famine is there, and we will die. And if we stay here, we will die. So let’s go over to the camp of the Arameans and surrender. If they spare us, we live; if they kill us, then we die.” 5 At dusk they got up and went to the camp of the Arameans. When they reached the edge of the camp, no one was there, 6 for the Lord had caused the Arameans to hear the sound of chariots and horses and a great army, so that they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel has hired the Hittite and Egyptian kings to attack us!” 7 So they got up and fled in the dusk and abandoned their tents and their horses and donkeys. They left the camp as it was and ran for their lives. 8 The men who had leprosy reached the edge of the camp, entered one of the tents and ate and drank. Then they took silver, gold and clothes, and went off and hid them. They returned and entered another tent and took some things from it and hid them also. 9 Then they said to each other, “What we’re doing is not right. This is a day of good news and we are keeping it to ourselves. If we wait until daylight, punishment will overtake us. Let’s go at once and report this to the royal palace.” 10 So they went and called out to the city gatekeepers and told them, “We went into the Aramean camp and no one was there—not a sound of anyone—only tethered horses and donkeys, and the tents left just as they were.” 11 The gatekeepers shouted the news, and it was reported within the palace. 12 The king got up in the night and said to his officers, “I will tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know we are starving; so they have left the camp to hide in the countryside, thinking, ‘They will surely come out, and then we will take them alive and get into the city.’” 13 One of his officers answered, “Have some men take five of the horses that are left in the city. Their plight will be like that of all the Israelites left here—yes, they will only be like all these Israelites who are doomed. So let us send them to find out what happened.” 14 So they selected two chariots with their horses, and the king sent them after the Aramean army. He commanded the drivers, “Go and find out what has happened.” 15 They followed them as far as the Jordan, and they found the whole road strewn with the clothing and equipment the Arameans had thrown away in their headlong flight. So the messengers returned and reported to the king. 16 Then the people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. So a seah of the finest flour sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley sold for a shekel, as the LORD had said. 17 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 died, just as the man of God had foretold when the king came down to his house.18 It happened as the man of God had said to the king: “About this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.” 19 The officer had said to the man of God, “Look, even if the LORD should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?” The man of God had replied, “You will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it!” 20 And that is exactly what happened to him, for the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died.
