NCC Service 4 January - VISION SUNDAY First Service - Pastor Prince 2015 is the year of the HIS RESTORATION God always have a plan and divine order. In the book of revelation, God has a specific message for each of the 7 churches. The bible always say, hear unto the word to the 7 churches. Which church you attend can mean life or death. There are people who dont believe in Psalms 91 Divine Protection. Keep on believing God, the devil wants to distract you from believing in the divine protection. There shall be 30 fold, 60 fold and then 100 fold. A drop of Gods wisdom is so concentrated that it is not possible to preach all in one sermon. When God show something, he wants us to do something for it, we pray for it. There is a blessing when we pray for it. Pastors vision: A lot of pressure will be on Israel. And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. (Zechariah 12:3 NKJV) For people who have lost relationships, God is going to bless you with something greater in 2015. God adds on. Doesnt mean that when we leave the year of greater glory 2014, there is no glory this year. The glory still goes on and in addition to the new years theme. This is the year of HIS RESTORATION. CHRIST on the cross is the love of God, paying for the ransom of us. God is a God of grace, he can forgive it all. Gods justice is satisfied. We have no more condemnation, unceasing favor of God. When mans restore, its never the same as the original. When GOD restores, it is always greater in quality and quantity or both. God will give you a quality relationship that is 7 times better. HIS RESTORATION: “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. (Joel 2:25 NKJV) The years we spent in sins are wasted years. If we turn to God, he will restore the years. But this is a people robbed and plundered; All of them are snared in holes, And they are hidden in prison houses; They are for prey, and no one delivers; For plunder, and no one says, “Restore!” (Isaiah 42:2, 22 NKJV) All the broken pieces will come together in 2015 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. (Psalms 23:3 NKJV) God will bring us back to the days of your youth with our mind restored. For I will restore health to you And heal you of your wounds (prolong plaques, chronic condition),’ says the LORD, ‘Because they called you an outcast saying: “This is Zion; No one seeks her.” ’ (Jeremiah 30:17 NKJV) Gods law “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep. (Exodus 22:1 NKJV) Because of the crime done to him, he becomes a gainer. This is the law of God, the greater the loss the greater the restoration! Start saying Lord, restore! Law of Moses: Do I say these things as a mere man? Or does not the law say the same also? For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it oxen God is concerned about? Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope. If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things? (I Corinthians 9:8-11 NKJV) Is God is concerned about Oxen? Or for our sake. Paul argued from the law. Elders who do their work well should be respected and paid well, especially those who work hard at both preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, “You must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain.” And in another place, “Those who work deserve their pay!” (1 Timothy 5:17-18 NLT) The areas we are weak in, are going to be the areas we are strong in! God forgives us more than what we confessed and unintended sins. Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: “If a person commits a trespass, and sins unintentionally in regard to the holy things of the LORD, then he shall bring to the LORD as his trespass offering a ram without blemish from the flocks, with your valuation in shekels of silver according to the shekel of the sanctuary, as a trespass offering. And he shall make restitution (restoration) for the harm that he has done in regard to the holy thing, and shall add one-fifth to it and give it to the priest. So the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him. (Leviticus 5:14-16 NKJV) Now you come to the lord, the lord has become the gainer. These are pictures God put for us to understand what happened on the cross at Calvary. They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away. (Psalms 69:4 KJV) But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’ (John 15:25 NKJV) Adam had the earth but he never had heaven. He controlled the earth but not joined heirs with JESUS. Adam was a created being, but we are all new creation. We have eternal life, Adam had physical life. If Adam didnt fall, God will not have a family. In Gods house, there is no forbidden area, whereas in paradise, there is a forbidden area. Death has now no more victory. God has gained by the work of Christ, God now has reaped a richer harvest from the fields of redemption. God has gained a family with eternal life. Our security is not dependent on our obedience, but on Christ. Jesus has gained through the cross. If Adam never fail, JESUS will still have the creator crown but not REDEEMER crown. Jesus had something he never had, a bride that came from his side. The Holy Spirit also gained, his joy is not to live in a tent. His delight is to dwell with the sons of man. Thats why, in the bible we see much more. then it shall be, because he has sinned and is guilty, that he shall restore what he has stolen, or the thing which he has extorted, or what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or the lost thing which he found, or all that about which he has sworn falsely. He shall restore its full value, add one-fifth more to it, and give it to whomever it belongs, on the day of his trespass offering. And he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish from the flock, with your valuation, as a trespass offering, to the priest. (Leviticus 6:4-6 NKJV) Whenever we have an attack, look for spoils/gains. Because the devil tempted Adam, God gained, Man also gained. Man gained both earth and heaven. 5 times in the book of Roman, much more was mentioned For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) (Romans 5:17 NKJV) The law of first mentioned: One fifth was mentioned in the story of Joseph. The pharaoh had a dream, Joseph said that the first seven years are the years of plenty and the next seven is famine. 120% happened in the year of famine. Every year, one fifth goes to pharaoh, the rest goes to the people. Now, the pharaoh has gained during a famine. Whatever we have lost, stop asking why. One day in heaven, we will know why. Dont give up! This message is for people who have lost and you will still gain even when you have lost. How can I position myself when Christ have done everything? The battle has been accomplished. Our fight is a fight of faith, we fight FROM victory and not for victory. RESToration! REST IN THE CROSS! The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still (rest) waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. (Psalms 23:1-3 NKJV) The greatest activity is to rest and let God do the rest. Then sh e said, “Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out; for the man will not rest until he has concluded the matter this day.” (Ruth 3:18 NKJV) When we sit still, the man (JESUS) at Gods right hand works! This is going to be the year of His RESToration! m.youtube/watch?v=ME9qDwTNUtk&feature=youtu.be
