AS THE FATHER HATH SENT ME

Message

Looking at today's topic, I'm sure you're asking yourself, 'How did the Father send me?' Acts 10:38 says that Jesus was sent to do good and to heal all that were oppressed of the devil, but then, He was anointed with the Holy Ghost and power for that assignment. That's why, concerning His ministers, Jesus said in Luke 24:49, "Tarry ye in Jerusalem until thou be endued with power from on high."

The condition for being a minister of God, according to Acts 6:1-3, is that you must be full of the Holy Spirit. Being baptised in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues is good. However, other kinds of evidence must also be there. Acts 6:8 says that Stephen, a man full of the Holy Spirit, performed miracles. Where are the miracles that God has performed through you since your baptism in the Holy Spirit? In Acts 8:5-8, Philip, one of the deacons, went to Samaria and turned a whole city upside down. In Acts 13:6-12, when Paul was preaching to a governor, and a sorcerer was trying to hinder him, Paul, full of the Holy Spirit, moved the mountain out of the way and got his victory by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We believers are dealing with a world called the New Age. They are working overtime to win our youths over with magic, and we need to demonstrate greater power to silence them so the youths do not give in to their devices. This power is available in God for all those who are willing to pay the price, but unfortunately, in a very subtle manner, the devil' is pushing the church to lukewarmness.

You need to realise that whenever Jesus taught in a place, the Bible says that the power of God was always present to heal. I have discovered that when we preach about healing, God heals. When we tag a service 'deliverance night', a lot of demonised people in attendance will get delivered. We choose themes that show God that we are keenly interested in doing His works. He said that He will baptise you with the Holy Ghost and with fire (Luke 3:16). There is a difference between just speaking in tongues and having the fire behind your tongues. When you are baptised by the Holy Spirit and fire, it will be evident; miracles will happen, souls will be won, and the whole world will bow to our Lord. Seek the fire today!

King James Version

John 14:10-12

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. [11] Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. [12] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
RCCG Hymn

To the work! to the work! we are servants of God

  1. To the work! to the work! we are servants of God,
    Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;
    With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew.
    Let us do with our might what our hands find to do.

    2. Toiling on, toiling on.
    Toiling on, toiling on.
    Let us hope, let us watch,
    And labour till the Master comes.


  2. To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed,
    To the fountain of life let the weary be led!
    In the cross and its banner our glory shall be.
    While we herald the tidings, "Salvation is free!"
  3. To the work! to the work! there is labour for all.
    For the kingdom of darkness, and error shall fall;
    And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be.
    In the loud-swelling chorus, "Salvation is free!"
  4. To the work! to the work! in the strength of the Lord,
    And a robe and a crown shall our labour reward.
    When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be.
    And we shout with the ransomed, "Salvation is free!
