OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON JULY 26, 2015 IS JUDGES 6: 1-26 REVERSING THE IRREVERSIBLE OF OPPRESSION TO BE FREE:

REVERSING THE IRREVERSIBLE OF OPPRESSION TO BE FREE: 1. Permit me to begin this message by asking you what you will do when you are faced with diverse oppressions beyond your control? I will proffer a solution here, please cry out in prayers unto the lord for he is the one who is more than able to reverse all irreversible of oppressions in all areas of life. See verses 1-6 2. Kindly pay adequate attention to this message, the only power that can free you totally from all forms of oppressions is by confessing our Lord Jesus as your Lord and acknowledging the Almighty God as your Father that all power is in his hands to do and undo. And also obeying his commandments and living right for him to reverse the irreversible of oppressions from your enemies. See verses 7-10 3. Brethren be careful what you do, say, and think when you are in the presence of a stranger you do not know. Gideon encounter with the Angel of God is a lesson every child of God should learn on how to receive people. There is a giant and champion in you that you have not discovered in yourself because of the pains of oppressions and deceptions of the enemy. Watch out here the encounter of Gideon with the Angel of God: a) The Angels greetings: The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valour b) Gideon’s answer: O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are the miracles our fathers told us? c) Gideon again: The Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Medianites, in other words handed us over to be oppressed by the oppressors. Are you in Gideon situation right now? If yes then the giant in you is about to manifest. Call it out now. d) Then the Lord: turned to him and said; Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?” e) Gideon again: So he said to Him, “O my Lord,[b] how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house. f) And the LORD said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man. Take note: When you put your trust in God, everything becomes possible for you including the irreversible situations in your life like that of Gideon. h) Gideon again: Then he said to Him, “If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who talk with me. Do not depart from here, I pray, until I come to You and bring out my offering and set it before You.” Gideon was clever, wise, and a giver, he knows and understands the law of seed time and harvests. Many believers are poor today because the do not understand the principles of given. Are you the one am talking to now, change today? i) The Lord: And He said, “I will wait until you come back. This proves to you that God is patient with us and loves us See verses11-18 4. There is something I learnt from this act of given of Gideon, which I want all my followers to embrace today because you do not know when you will entertain an Angel of God. Gideon went into his father’s house to bring out the best that he and his father has to entertain the stranger without knowing he was entertaining an Angel and storing in his store house in heaven, and releasing the blessings of God upon his life. When have you stored in your store house in heaven by given liberally and without attachment? Gideon obeyed every instruction from the Angel. They know it all, learn here. See verses 19-20 5. The thing that happened to Gideon right from that moment he brought that food, which he specially prepared for the Angel of God without knowing that he was entertaining an Angel are as follows: a) His inner eyes otherwise known as the spiritual eyes opened immediately he placed the food at the rock b) The Angel touched the foods with his staff of office and the smoke of the food ascended into heaven as an acceptable sacrifice. c) Now Gideon perceived that He was the Angel of the LORD. So Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord GOD! For I have seen the Angel of the LORD face to face.” But the Angel said to him fear not and Peace be unto you. That word is for somebody that is oppressed right now, in a situation that you do not know what to do? I speak into your life FEAR NOT & PEACE BE UNTO YOU. My God will reverse the irreversible in your life, YOU SHALL NOT DIE but are restored physically, spiritually and financially in Jesus name, can I hear a loud Amen? See verses 21-23 6. Finally, I want to encourage you to make sure that you have an Altar of peace in your home this weekend that LWFM World Prayer force for Peace built an ALTAR OF PEACE for the seven continents of the world countries and cities yesterday July 25, 2015 to observe our yearly Altar building for 2015, so that peace will reign in our lives, cities, nations and continents, so that the enemy that breeds oppressions will never have access to our lives. Gideon did something outstanding here as follows: a) Gideon built an Altar where he had an encounter with the Angel and called it “THE LORD OF PEACE” with him, say with me? b) God commanded Gideon that same day to tear down the Altar of Baal that his father worshipped and raise the Altar of God there and it was done in the night as he was commanded. Have you torn down every evil Altar speaking in your life and family and replaced it with the Altar of Peace of God c) God commanded Gideon to make a proper arrangement for the Altar of God where he and his household will commune with God regularly at that Altar. Do you have a place in your home, where you have built an Altar of God, where every member of the family will bring their sacrifices, prayers, requests and commune with God regularly for all their needs? If not do it Today. See verses 24-27 7. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power of God to reverse the irreversible of oppressions manipulated from the pit of hell and replace it with the Altar of Peace of God and Joy all the days of your life in Jesus name Amen. Read below: Judges 6:1-26 New King James Version (NKJV) Midianites Oppress Israel 6 Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD. So the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years, 2 and the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of the Midianites, the children of Israel made for themselves the dens, the caves, and the strongholds which are in the mountains. 3 So it was, whenever Israel had sown, Midianites would come up; also Amalekites and the people of the East would come up against them. 4 Then they would encamp against them and destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep nor ox nor donkey. 5 For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, coming in as numerous as locusts; both they and their camels were without number; and they would enter the land to destroy it. 6 So Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites, and the children of Israel cried out to the LORD. 7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried out to the LORD because of the Midianites, 8 that the LORD sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘I brought you up from Egypt and brought you out of the house of bondage; 9 and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all who oppressed you, and drove them out before you and gave you their land. 10 Also I said to you, “I am the LORD your God; do not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.” But you have not obeyed My voice.’” Gideon 11 Now the Angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites. 12 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!” 13 Gideon said to Him, “O my lord,[a] if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.” 14 Then the LORD turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?” 15 So he said to Him, “O my Lord,[b] how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” 16 And the LORD said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.” 7 Then he said to Him, “If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who talk with me. 18 Do not depart from here, I pray, until I come to You and bring out my offering and set it before You.” And He said, “I will wait until you come back.” 19 So Gideon went in and prepared a young goat, and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot; and he brought them out to Him under the terebinth tree and presented them. 20 The Angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” And he did so. 21 Then the Angel of the LORD put out the end of the staff that was in His hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened bread; and fire rose out of the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. And the Angel of the LORD departed out of his sight. 22 Now Gideon perceived that He was the Angel of the LORD. So Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord GOD! For I have seen the Angel of the LORD face to face.” 23 Then the LORD said to him, “Peace be with you; do not fear, you shall not die.” 24 So Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it The-LORD-Is-Peace.[c] To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. 25 Now it came to pass the same night that the LORD said to him, “Take your father’s young bull, the second bull of seven years old, and tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the wooden image[d] that is beside it; 26 and build an altar to the LORD your God on top of this rock in the proper arrangement, and take the second bull and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the image which you shall cut down.” Watch out for our JULY 2015 daily words of Exhortations on “EMPOWERMENT TO REVERSE THE IRREVERSIBLES" TOMORROW JULY 27, 2015.
