In the scriptures there are numbers that are called perfect numbers.

Perfect numbers in the scriptures are 3, 7, 10 and 12.

If God never visited us (Mountain of God Ministries) on the 13^th of May, 2013, we would have been struggling to build up to this day.

Another wave is landing soon that will bring another greater dimension that cannot be described.

THE MYSTERY OF THE THIRD DAY

Exodus 3:18, Genesis 18:2,14

Significant 3^rd day Biblical Events

1.The earth was separated from the water and God created seeds. [Genesis 1:9-13]

2.Abraham took a 3 days journey to sacrifice his son [Genesis 22:1-4]

3.Jacob escapes Laban [Genesis 31:22]

4.The sons of Jacob killed those who had raped Dinah [Genesis 34:25]

If you don’t destroy the seed of the enemies, they will keep on producing offspring that will be fighting you – battles will never end.

5.Joseph’s dream comes to pass [Genesis 40:18-20]

6.God meets the Israelites [Exodus 19:11, 16]

7.David escapes the fate of what was coming on the third day [1 Samuel 20:5, 8]                

8.The enemy attacks David at Ziklag [1 Samuel 30:1]

9.News of the passing of Saul reaches David [2 Samuel 1:2]

10.Healing of Hezekiah [2 Kings 20:5, 8]

11.Jesus performs miracles for the very first time [John 2:1]

The third day is actually the day of the Holy Spirit.

12.Reversal of the curse (misfortune) of the Jews [Esther 4:16, 5:1-3]

The master of favour is the Holy Ghost and the anointing symbolises Him.

Galatians 3:11, Romans 10:17

Men are justified in the sight of God by faith.

Hebrews 10:37-38, Habakkuk 2:4, 11:6, 1, Luke 1:45, John 11:40, Hebrews 11:2

The just are supposed to live by faith.

Faith is an individual thing.

If you pray without believing, you are wasting time.

If you give without faith, you are wasting time.

If you clean God’s house without faith, you are wasting time.

Whatever else you do for God without faith will not profit you.

Ensure that you believe what you are praying.

Faith pleases God the most because His greatest pleasure is to be believed.

Hebrews 11:1

Faith does not deal with things that do not exist, it deals with something that exists, except that it is not visible in your space.

What does it take God to perform what He has said?

Faith is the ability of God in a believer that superimposes the invisible (unseen) onto the visible.

Faith is the response of the human spirit to the revealed word of God.

Fear, also, is your response to the negativity of satan.

Faith releases God’s power towards those that believe.

If faith is what a believer must live by, the most important thing a believer must do every day of his life is to build his faith.

You can’t build another man’s faith, you can only build yours.

Without faith, there is no testimony (Hebrews 11:2).

It takes faith to release the power of God to work in your favour to release testimonies.

How much God can do doesn’t depend on Him but on you.

Faith is in degrees.

The difference between one believer and another is the proportion of faith at work in them.

People who open themselves up to the word of God will build strong faith.

Faith only has one source – the word of God.

When you are listening to testimonies, your faith can be built up.

Understand that it is the word of God behind it (testimony) that is building your faith.

We are a generation that has no excuse.

You can build your faith.

While you’re cooking your nshima, you can be building your faith.

Be deliberate about building your faith.

The word you heard and read also needs to be thought about (meditation).

Learn to spend time alone with God, if you have not learnt, you are not going far.

James 5:16-18, Exodus 33:12-14

It is rest that makes our immune system to be built up, both spiritually and physically.

Only faith brings you into rest.

Fear destroys the immune system, both physical and spiritual.

You can’t rest until you are in your promised land.

There must be something around our lives to show that we are covenant people.

KABOD (Hebrew translation of glory) means:

1. glory, honour, glorious, abundance

a)abundance, riches

b) honour, splendour, glory

c) honour, dignity

d)honour and reputation

e) honour, reverence, glory

f) glory, splendour or copiousness

There is no demand you can make of God that He cannot deliver.

As covenant people, we need to have a sense of diligence.

Psalm 81:1-5, Numbers 10:10

Isaiah 47:12-13

Psalm 74:20

Hebrews 8:6

Galatians 3:13-14,28-29

Psalm 102:19-20

Psalm 74:20

Psalm 102:13,19-20

God has plenty, and when you’re asking Him for whatever you’re asking, the question He asks is, “what is it for?”

Where is God in the breakthrough that you are praying for?

The issue of soul winning is an important business as far as God is concerned.

The fruit number one that every child of God must bear, as scripture highlights to us, is winning souls.

You didn’t come on earth just so you can have a job, build a house and have kids.

All these other things we do are just a means to an end.

The endgame is for us to be productive for God.

To be on this earth without minding God’s business number one is to sign yourself off quickly.

Certain things you’re claiming are only for those who bear fruit for God.

If we prioritise what God prioritises, He will prioritise us.

Any church that doesn’t win souls will die.

A business that is not Christ-centered will die.

How to tap into the grace for winning souls is to sow into those who are actively displaying the grace.

Every fish (soul) caught carries a coin.

Matthew 17:27, 4:19

What is in that coin that follows those who win souls?

1.It is worth supernatural supplies [John 4:36, Luke 22:35]

2.Divine health

Every fruit-bearing branch is entitled to divine health.

3.Divine protection [Luke 10: 19]

Every soul winner is guaranteed divine protection.

4.Divine favour [Psalm 102:13-15

If you favour His righteous cause, He favours yours.

5.Supernatural breakthroughs [Luke 5:5-7]

6.Signs and wonders [Mark 16:20, John  14:21, 15:16]

Soul winning brings a man into a place where he has guaranteed answers to prayers (John 15:16).

If God’s number one business is not number one to you, why should you be number one to Him.

PROPHETIC DECREES:

AS YOU PRODUCE EVIDENCE BEFORE GOD, MAY GOD DO THE SAME THAT HE HAS DONE FOR OTHERS.

STRANGE TESTIMONIES WILL NEVER END IN YOUR CAMP.

GOD IS INCREASING THE DEGREE OF TESTIMONIES; MIRACLES AND YOU ARE AMONG THEM IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

 THE LORD BLESS YOU!

THE LORD LIFT YOU!

THE LORD PUSH YOU FORWARD!

IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!

YOU WILL SURELY COME BACK HERE WITH A TESTIMONY!

THE GRACE TO APPLY THOSE THINGS WE LEARNT ON FRIDAY, DURING OUR UPCOMING MONTHLY COVENANT 3 DAYS OF SPIRITUAL EMPOWERMENT HAS COME UPON US.

MAY YOU ENCOUNTER THE GOD OTHERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED.

IT’S A NEW DAY FOR YOU. X2

WHAT OTHERS DID TO GET WHAT THEY GOT, GOD WILL EMPOWER YOU TO DO THE SAME AND YOU WILL COME BACK HERE WITH A TESTIMONY.

NOT ONE IS MISSING (NOIM) PRAYER NIGHT

TAGGED NIGHT OF DESTINY ENCOUNTER

Live from Great Grace Tabernacle

Chililabombwe, Zambia

Joshua 1:9-10, 5

If you don’t have God’s presence, satan will come and take away any other thing you are given.

If God is not with you, you will not have rest.

When God  is with you, He will fight for you.

Exodus 33:11-19

People don’t come to the point of God being with them just because they are children of God or they are prophets – it is encounters.

Don’t just pray for the sake of praying, pray to have an encounter.

It is an encounter that changes life and changes destinies.

Without encounter you cannot fulfill destiny.

Encounters can be provoked.

The chief provoker of encounter is desperate prayer.

You can have very good plans as a human being but your plans can be frustrated by satan.

No matter what is promised, it is not secured until you pray.

No matter what you are enjoying, it is not secured until you pray.

You need encounters along the journey.

Many of us have made blunders where opportunity looked like opportunity but God was not there.

It is results that separate you from the rest.

There is nothing more powerful than God being with you.

Lazy (prayerless) Christians have no future.

There is no technology that will ever replace prayer.

You have to ask God to show you His glory.

Glory is God showing you something that is His nature.

God’s goodness represents His glory.

Don’t have a friend whom you cannot rebuke – that’s not friendship.

Jesus prayed from the word go and the last thing He did was to pray.

Mark 15:34

Time doesn’t change anything; it is encounters that make the difference.

If the church continues to sleep, it won’t see the hand of God.

Luke 19:13

WHAT DOES EFFECTIVE PRAYER DO?

1.It provokes help from above [Hebrews 4:16, Psalm 127:1, Acts 26:22, Psalm 60:11-12, 56:9, Isaiah 41:10-13]

A man that is prayerless will be helpless.

The altar of prayer is what provokes help from above.

2.Prayer is a platform on which we ask for God’s mercy [Hebrews 4:16, 2 Samuel 24:14, Matthew 9:13, Lamentations 3:22]

Only mercy makes the things we don’t know to be put aside so that we can have our desires.

Prayer gives us the platform to cry out for mercy.

Mercy addresses the unknowns.

We need mercy because there are so many things we do not know.

3.It secures angelic intervention [Acts 12:5-8, Psalm 103:20, Matthew 26:52-53]

Angels are very intelligent.

4.Prayer brings about deliverance from afflictions [James 5:13, Exodus 3:7-8]

5.Prayer helps us to locate the path of life (divine direction) [Psalm 23:1, 5, 16:11, 2 Samuel 5:18-20]

6.Prayer enforces prophecies [2 Peter 1:19-21, 1 Timothy 1:18, Deuteronomy 2:24]

Any prophecy that came to you will remain nothing until it is enforced in prayer, with faith.

7.Prayer consecrates [Zechariah 3:1-4]

You cannot avoid sin without empowerment through prayer to destroy the power of sin.

Desperate:

1. a) do or die (resolute)
2. b) showing extreme urgency or intensity, especially because of great need or desire

Desperate faith of men is what provokes miracles.

Desperation is the key.

Those people who approach God as if there is a lot of time never receive things.

SOME EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE WHO PRAYED DESPERATE PRAYERS IN THE BIBLE

1.JACOB [Genesis 32:24-28, Hosea 12:3-4]

2.ESAU [Genesis 27:38-40]

3.JABEZ [1 Chronicles 4:9-10]

4.MORDECAI [Esther 4:1]

5.ESTHER [Esther 4:16]

6.MOSES [Exodus 33:12-18]

7.HEZEKIAH [Isaiah 38:1-5]

8.AHAB [1 Kings 21:27-29]

9.HANNAH [1 Samuel 1:10-11]

10.DANIEL, MESHACH, SHADRACH AND ABEDNEGO [Daniel 2:18-19, 6:10]

11. SYROPHOENICIAN WOMAN [Matthew 15:22-28]

12.BLIND BARTIMEUS [Mark 10:47-52]

13.THE EARLY CHURCH [Acts 4:29-33]

14.JESUS [Luke 9:28-29, Matthew 26:36]

To be spiritually fervent is to be spiritually boiling and bubbling because of heat (fire).

To maintain spiritual high temperature, we need to make spiritual investments.

The problem is not the devil somewhere holding on to something, the problem is you not believing your prophet.

Ensure you have a higher power at work all the time.

How to ensure a higher power is always at work is by maintaining spiritual fervency.

SOME TRUTHS ABOUT FERVENCY

1.GOD KNOWS YOUR STATE [Revelation 3:15-16]

2.YOUR FERVENCY IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE [Galatians 5:7, Colossians 4:12-13]

It is up to you to maintain a certain frequency. It is not up to God.

3.IT IS YOUR DUTY TO WATCH OVER YOUR FERVENCY [1 Corinthians 4:13]

It is your duty to see that you are always hot.

4.YOUR FERVENCY IS AN INDICATION OF YOUR WELLBEING [Revelation 2:4-5]

When you are not hot, make yourself understand that you are sick and can be attacked anytime.

You can know the state of someone from the way they walk with God.

It doesn’t take long to backslide.

It is very easy to backslide.

A faithful husband who has neglected prayer will soon cheat on his wife.

Maintain your relationship with God.

Breakthroughs are delayed when satan knows that your spiritual pulse rate is very low.

There is an evil day for every man.

5.THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES OR REWARDS OF FERVENCY [1 Corinthians 9:27]

Depending on whether you’re hot or cold, there are either consequences or rewards.

You can lose your spiritual ranking.

WHY SHOULD WE BE SPIRITUALLY FERVENT?

1.IT IS COMMANDED [Romans 12:11]

2.YOU LIVE IN A VERY WICKED WORLD AND YOU NEED TO BE SPIRITUALLY HOT TO FULFILL YOUR DESTINY [1 John 5:19]

AREAS OF SPIRITUAL FERVENCY

1.The word of God [Psalm 1:2, 19:7, 4:4, 119:7, 10, 15, 18, 24, 25]

2.Prayer [Leviticus 6:12-13]

We have been redeemed as kings as priests, and one of the things we should maintain is an effective prayer altar.

3.Fellowship with God and others.

a) Avoid wrong company [Proverbs 27:17]

Whatever we fellowship with affects us.

Bad company corrupts your spirituality.

b) Keep good company [Proverbs 22:24-25]

Don’t make friendships with people that don’t enhance your spirituality.

TOOLS FOR COMMANDING THE SUPERNATURAL (continuation from Sunday 16^th  April, 2023)

4.FAITH

[Hebrews 11:3, Numbers 23:19, Luke 1:45, Matthew 9:27-29, Matthew 15:27-28, Luke 2:34, 36-37, James 1:2-3]

Your faith will be tested.

If you are over-sensitive you cannot walk in faith.

You can’t pretend you have faith when you don’t have it.

You will not have it according to His power, His power is guaranteed. You will have it according to your faith.

From the time you say you believe, up to the time of manifestation, your faith will be tested.

People are not your saviours, God is your saviour.

People change.

God wants our faith to be in Him.

If you’re going to walk with God, He is going to place you among people.

God will place you among people and He will watch your reaction.

You will face things and satan will make you question God.

If the area between you and God is still questionable, then you are a vulnerable person.

Genesis 15:2-4

Faith requires patience.

Faith that will deliver results is required to be a patient faith.

Don’t let time put pressure on you.

Time is satan’s tool number one to make people not walk in faith.

When time is ticking, he is also whispering to them that what they’re believing for will not happen.

Job was never offended with God.

If you have lost everything, make sure you don’t lose God.

You can have back the things you have lost with God.

Faith is not self-centered.

True faith works with love and love is not self-centered.

Job 14:7-14, 2:9-10

Job was never offended with God.

If you have lost everything, make sure you don’t lose God.

You can have back the things you have lost with God.

5.THE POWER OF THE TONGUE

[2 Corinthians 4:13, John 3:6-8, Matthew 15:27-28, 1 Samuel 17:45-46, Numbers 13:30, Exodus 12:32, Mark 11:20, Proverbs 18:21, Psalm 34:12-13, Psalm 81:10-14, Numbers 13:33, 14:2, 28, Psalm 119:46, Romans 1:16, Acts 14:3]

Faith has a language.

We speak what we believe and we believe what God says.

We don’t speak according to circumstances but according to the word of God we believe.

The supernatural requires the release of a correct sound.

There is a particular sound from your mouth that will release signs and wonders.

In the school of the spirit, this is a course you will take at every level of your learning – it is compulsory.

You have to speak in faith when you are alone, and speak when you’re in public.

Our father in heaven spoke things into existence.

God never spoke the chaos he saw on the earth, He spoke what He wanted to see.

You have to speak when you are alone and you have to speak when you are in public.

Be careful that you are not speaking religiousness.

We can tell who is a baby and who is an adult by the way someone speaks.

Children speak, then think later.

Adults think, and speak what they think.

It is risky not to speak what you believe.

You can’t speak poverty and have riches.

 You can’t speak weakness and experience strength

You can’t speak defeat and have victory.

Speak to your bills and command them paid.

The tongue is a commander of signs and wonders.

WHAT WORDS WE SPEAK DO

1.THE WORDS WE SPEAK CAN STOP THE DEVIL AND HIS AGENTS [LUKE 21:15, Psalm 18:44-45]

Don’t allow the word of the enemy to be the final word, let your word be final.

Always have the last word.

David’s words prevailed in his contest with Goliath.

Your enemy speaks every day, that’s why you should charge yourself up.

Some of you are too depressed to say anything that the Bible says.

2.THE WORDS WE SPEAK ARE SEEDS, AND OUR SPEAKING IS LIKE PLANTING [Luke 8:11, Genesis 8:22, Isaiah 55:11]

Until you are depressed, you can’t be oppressed.

Depression leads to oppression.

It is difficult for a joyful person to be depressed.

Let the past remain the past.

Discouragement is worse than demonic possession.

GENESIS 13:14-15, Exodus 7:1
Our portion is delivered according to what we have seen.
What can we see concerning the deliverances and restorations that He has done?
Understand that the happenings around a man’s life are not up to God.
God cannot help you and I beyond what we can see of what He has provided.
It is in your best interest to see for yourself.
Go beyond hearing, see what He is saying.
You can’t become what you cannot see.
Have pictures of what you got on Sunday (Covenant Day of Family Restorations).
Have pictures of what you got on Sunday (Covenant Day of Family Restorations).
Until you see prosperity you can never become prosperous.
Poverty is not lack of money; it is a mindset that repels good things.
If you give 10 million dollars to a person who has a poverty mentality, they will still go back to poverty.
Genesis 28:12-16
If you don’t see what God is telling you, you can’t work together with God.
Nobody can run fast while looking down, you have to look where you are going.
Seeing what God is saying is not a gift, it takes a lot of walkings and workings.
How many of us wake up from sleep and react to our dreams?
Genesis 35:1-4
You can’t go the place God has promised with an old lifestyle.
It is more difficult to develop new habits than it is to follow old habits.
Spiritually speaking, we need to be conscious of what garment is on us as we serve God.
Every garment has a spirit that supervises it.
According to the garment you are wearing, there is what you will attract.
A garment is essentially a spiritual covering that invites what can come on you.
When you clean up, develop a new walk with God; the things that used to chase you can no longer chase you because there is nothing that belongs to them that is still with you.
Romans 12:11
When God wants to do new things in people, He demands for them to have a change of lifestyle as well.

Slothful:
a) disinclined to work
b) idle
c) lazy
d) shrinking and timid
e) hesitant
f) reluctant
g) unwilling to act
You need to be fervent in spirit.

Fervent:
a) feelings of great warmth and intensity

To be spiritually fervent is to be spiritually boiling and bubbling because of heat (fire).
For you to get there (spiritual fervency), it requires investment.
No water boils without investment in heat.
You must invest in something that brings fire.
Romans 8:6, Galatians 6:8, 1 John 5:19
When you hear of carnality, don’t think of non-believers only.
There are many carnal christians.
All those christians who operate according to the natural senses are carnal.
Carnality is naturality.
The physical life that manifests here is controlled by the spiritual.
A man that is not spiritually fervent will be a casualty on earth.
To be on fire is to be safe.
To be on fire is to manifest the goodness of God.
Make investments in the spirit.
Make sure you mind the things of the Spirit.
Don’t be reluctant in serving God. Serving God will help you.
The power lies in consistency.
Spirits don’t commit themselves to a man who is not committed.
God will be honoured even with 10 minutes that you decide to serve him with as a family or as an individual.
Genesis 18:19
Consistent 5 minutes of prayer will establish a permanent altar of Jehovah in your home.
Regardless of where you are found, you can have your own moments of prayer.
How can you have time for all other things except God?
Satan takes advantage because he thinks you are free.
Fire will keep the devil away from you.
If you introduce fire in your personal life and fire in your home, then that’s it.
Daniel 6:20

HOW TO WALK IN THE SUPERNATURAL [PART 2]

TOOLS FOR COMMANDING THE SUPERNATURAL (continuation from Sunday 26th March, 2023)
3.THE WORD OF GOD
It is God’s number one instrument for signs and wonders. (Psalm 138:2)
It is the rod for signs and wonders. (Isaiah 11:1-3, Revelation 19:13)
Wherever there is trouble, God sends a word.
Every word sent in your direction, believed in faith, will produce wonders.
Only the word can fix what has gone wrong because it created them.
Only the manufacturer of a product knows how to fix a product and has spare parts for it.
Once you go in the direction of the spoken word you have a miracle.
The supernatural is released by doing the word.
When we speak words from our life, it is a release of life.
Get to know God’s ways (His word) if you are to flow in the supernatural. (Psalm 103:7, Exodus 33:13)
“Show me your way” is a cry for adult christians.
If you seek to know God’s ways He will show you.
The word of God is the way of God.
It is when you know the word that you practically become a god.
You can’t approach satan as a human being because the devil operates at diabolical wisdom, which is higher than intellectual wisdom.

HOW DO YOU ACTIVATE GOD’S WORD FOR THE SUPERNATURAL?
1.SEARCH DILIGENTLY (Proverbs 24:13-14, Jeremiah 15:16)

2.GO FOR UNDERSTANDING (Acts 8:27-36, Daniel 9:2)
It is things you discover that lead to recovery.
Until you discover, you can’t recover.

3.STUDY THE WORD (2 Timothy 2:15)
Reading is different from studying.
In studying, you are seeking to understand for application.

4.FAITH (Mark 16:17, Matthew 9:27-29, Genesis 12:4, 17:10-12, 23, 22:3, James 2:18)
Wherever faith is, signs are there.
Signs follow only them who believe.
Faith is the supernatural force that moves the hand of God.
The kind of faith Jesus desires for us is action-driven faith.

WHY DO WE DEDICATE CHILDREN?
1.To thank God who is the giver of life (Psalm 127:3)
2.In order to sanctify those children for the Lord
3.To commit those children to God
We ask the Lord to help them walk in His fear and for the parents to have wisdom to raise them.
It is your nearness to God that will guarantee divine supplies.

SPIRITUAL ADVANCEMENT

God is reliable and dependable.

God is faithful.

It doesn’t make sense to follow someone without understanding them and what you are following for.

God can’t be tricked. God can’t be bribed.

God can see a man from their future as He looks at them today.

There are two kingdoms that are at war with each other: The Kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness.

You cannot be in the middle; you must belong to one kingdom.

Genesis 15:1, 13-14, Exodus 12:12

Certain struggles you might be going through in life are sponsored from somewhere.

You becoming what God wants for you is a big problem for the enemy because it means He’ll have to be punished for having kept you somewhere.

The enemy is our adversary, our opposer.

There is no neutral place.

You are either affected positively by the kingdom of God or you are affected by the kingdom of darkness.

Satan will never allow you to have money until you have completely surrendered on his side.

To have the fullness of God, you must also fully surrender to God.

Revelation3:16, Jeremiah 29:10, Daniel 10:13

Whatever God promises you has giants in it.

What you are supposed to have is already in the hands of somebody else.

Trying to come out of whatever situation you are in, without advancement, is a lie.

Trying to break family curses without advancement is a lie.

Exodus 2:11-15

Many Christians are trying to live a Christian life without power and yet the forces that are contending with them have power.

Matthew 2:13

There are some destinies will never manifest until some destinies that are holding them die.

Revelation 12:1-6, 2 Kings 6:14

Be mindful of what is happening in the spirit realm.

Exodus 3:3, 4:12, 7:1-14

People who have curiosity end up being creative.

Until you are spiritually advanced to practically manifest dominion, you cannot enter your promised land because that devil will not let you go.

Our battles are not the things we see with our eyes.

Even when Satan is the one afflicting you, there will be a physical diagnosis if you go to the Hospital.

The moment Satan has killed your desire to get closer to God in prayer, he has killed your destiny.

You can’t defeat Satan in the arm of the flesh.

Not having a desire to get closer to God is a disease.

Be careful with distractions.
