Theme: 

Understanding And Benefitting From My Acceptable Year Of Holiness For Revival Unto Greater Works

 

Texts: 

Isaiah 62 : 2 - 3 

1 Peter 1 : 15 - 16  

John 14 : 12

 

1. Understanding And Benefitting From My Acceptable Year / Year Of Gods Favour 
2. Understand That Every Year Is God's Acceptable Year/ Year Of God's Favour. 

 

2. But The Acceptable Year / Year Of God's Favour:

• Is The Year That God Has Passionately Decided And Set Aside To Visit Some Particular Issues In Your Life After A Long Waiting Or Delay Etc

 

• Some Areas In Your Life Are Not Working Well May Be Because Of Something From Your End

 

 Living In Disobedience/ Rebellion/ Etc

 

 But Inspite Of That God Has Decided To Give You Another Chance Through Favour 

 Isaiah 42 : 14 / Romans 9 : 16

 

1. Holiness 

 

-  Giving Attention To:

1. How You Relate To God

 

• Relate To God By His Own Terms Through 

 His Word

 The Holy Spirit 

 

• Not By Your Own Terms

 God Does Not Change 

 God Does Not Bend His Rules And Regulations 

 God Does Not Bend His Principles And Standards 

 The Reason For Many Christians Suffering All Manner Of Things/ Becoming Easy Prey To the Devil And His Agents Is Because:

• I. Many Are Worshipping God In Their Own Way
• Ii. Many Have Broken Standards 
• Iii. Many Have Ignored Or Disregarded God's Regulations,  Instructions, Principles And Standards And Think God Is Not Watching. 
• Iv. We Have Churches And Ministries With Large Following That Shot Up Out Of Rebellion And Disobedience. 
• V. You Rebuke Something Of A Wrong A Misbehaving/ You Discipline Somebody And He / She Leaves The Church To Another Where He Is Readily Welcomed. 

 

-  The New Testament Is More Dangerous Regarding Judgments Than The Old Testament 

1. Old Testament Is Instant Justice
2. New Testament Is Slow Justice

 

Illustrations 

That Is Why Many Prayers Are Not Working For Some People 

That Is Many Are Moving From Place To Place Looking For Solutions Just Because God Has Decided To Withhold Their Solutions From Everyone Including Angels

 

# Some Are Getting Offended When The Are Called To Be Checked On

 

How You Relate To Your Fellow Man

• According To What Is Written In The Word

 Owe No Man Nothing Except Love

 As Much As It Depends On You, Live At Peace With Each Other

 Do Unto Others What You Want Others To Do Unto You 

 

• According To The Leading Of The Holy Spirit 

 We Are Not Able To Adapt To One Another In The Church 

 Some People Wouldn't Want To Belong To A Department Because Of The One Leading. 

 Some People Will Avoid Getting Involved In Doing Certain Things Because Someone They Don't Like Is Also Involved 

 

3. Your Service In The Church 

• Not To Be A Pew Warmer
• Serving For A Glorious Tomorrow 
• Submitting To The Church's Regulations 

 

1. Revival 
2. When Dead Things Come Back To Life. This Means:

• A New Beginning 
• A New Set Up
• A Reset
• Restoration 
• New Wave

 

1. Greater Works Of God
2. In You
3. Through You
