Highlights from the Sunday message July 26, 2009

 

Title: Deliverance from wrong foundations (Dr Daniel Shu).

Key Passages: Ezekiel 18 V 1-3 ; Lam 5v7 ;Exodus 5 V 7-6

Introduction: What kind of foundation are you laying for your children? We need to destroy the wrong foundations we inherited so it shouldn't affect us, but we equally need to lay down a good foundation for future generations.

There are 3 main sources of wrong foundations namely:

1.       Inherited family traits

2.       Inherited family curses

3.       Inherited demonic family curses.

A. Inherited Family Traits.

The story of Abraham and his descendants illustrates this perfectly. Here, we see sterility running as a major family trait in Sarah, Rebecca and Rachel. Although Abraham was separated from the wrong foundation of Idol worship etc, Nahor wasn't. The consequences visited the family to the 4^th generation. Medically, there are certain diseases which are inherited such as; Sickle cell anaemia, Diabetes, Hypertension affecting several generations.

B. Family Inherited Curses.

The story of David and the tragedy of his family, vividly illustrates a family inherited curse. Incest in David's family, can be traced right back to his grand father Perez (a fruit of the incestuous relationship between Judah and his daughter in-law, Tamar)!   David unfortunately, built a further wrong foundation (immorality) for his descendants, by committing murder and adultery. If we do not severe (separate) ourselves from wrong foundations, they will affect us!

C.  Family Inherited curses.

Mathew 27:24-25 (curse on Israel). Curses occur when a family practices or is involved in: witchcraft, idolatry, traditional rites, Satanism and Initiation rites of any sort.

Children's teeth set on edge (manifestation of wrong foundations).

1.       Sexual manifestations: immorality, incest, pornography, homosexuality, prostitution, sexual pervesion

2.       Financial problems – wastage (spend thriftiness), stagnation etc

3.       Premature and untimely death, dashed hopes, miscarriages, divorce etc

No longer us this Proverb

Gal 3:13-14, 2 Cor 5:17, Heb 2 V14-15

Jesus has accomplished the victory. We need to know it , Accept it and claim our deliverance for this to be Incorporated in us!

Keep your deliverance!  

 

Exercise:

1.       Discuss how David's act, affected his family negatively.

2.       When you look around, can you see instances of wrong foundations at work in your family, or another family you know about?

3.   Pray for each other.

Glad to serve,

Innocent

Title: Authoritative Praying and Deliverance (Dr Daniel Shu)

Key Passage: Mathew 17: 14-21

 

Faith is necessary to exercise authoritative prayers. Although faith is not seen ("small like a mustard seed"), we can see the effect and victory of faith, implying, we see FAITH in ACTION.

 

There are however, 2 prerequisites for AP:

a. Faith

b. Fasting

 

Deliverance is not only from demons, but from satanic activity and influence equally. Heb 2:14 -15; Rom 7:21-24. From these passages, we can identify 3 domains from which we need deliverance:

 

1. Sinful habits

2- Wrong foundations

3- Demonic activities and their consequences.

You're the man

Hi all,

 

Everyone loves gold (well almost). How do we get such a valuable piece of metal though?

 

Gold that is extracted from the earth's crust contains a presence of silver to the extent of about 10%.To make gold acceptable and usable, it becomes important to remove this silver. Refining is the most spectacular part of the process. Silica, borax and soda ash are added to the dried precipitate, which is heated in a furnace. This results in a miniature smelting operation. On the top of the melt is the slag containing the impurities, while the molten gold's greater density causes it to sink to the bottom...(http://www.miningbasics.com)

 

As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise (Prov 27 verse 21).

 

What is our attitude when we receive praise? Praise, it seems, should serve to bring out the finest in man, rather than destroy him. The later seems to be more frequent than the former. It is recorded, that Moses spoke with God as a man speaks to his friend yet, he was called the meekest man alive!

 

 It is Ok to feel good about our achievements and even decorate our office space with all our trophies and certificates. The danger though, is in how your mind perceives this and how you handle that. All said and done, all we have, all we are, all we've achieved and all we will ever achieve is completely dependent on God's grace. Why not acknowledge His blessings therefore, as coming from Him alone! 

 

My wife made this profound observation after returning from her cousin's funeral : ' Dear, man is nothing!". As she saw the lifeless body of this youngman, it suddenly dawned on her, we are completely sustained by God's grace alone.

 

I invite you to consider, your relationship with the ONE, that many have tried to wipe out of their minds, but still have to face in Judgement. It all begins with seeing yourself trully as you are...

 

You are worthy of His sacrifice!

Inno

What could be worse than being blind?

Hi there, This jumped into my spirit as I walked to work today. Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) was an American author, political activist and lecturer. She was the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.(wikipedia). The story goes, that she was once asked what could be worse than being blind..and Helen responded, in these words..." Physical blindness is not a problem. What is sad is having eyes, but having no vision!" (Paraphrased.) In 1999, Keller was listed in Gallup's Most Widely Admired People of the 20th Century.She had a vision. And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David. And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.( Mathew 20v30,32,33,34 KJV) Life lived out of Jesus is plagued with heavy blindness.Our sight can be restored. In this day an age, we are all encouraged to be broadminded. That's Ok..just be careful you're not being broadminded on THE narrow way! What's the point? Simple - The religious leaders in Jesus' time were blind to who He was and held many bound too. Jesus has compassion on those who recognise their limits, step up to Him and say, I need sight (vision). Your choice today will determine your tomorrow. Choose the time tested, unfailing truth. Jesus, should not just be a subject for debate - He is real to those who CHOOSE to make Him master in their lives. He will help you deal with the sin factor and give you vision. And when you receive vision, remember, you need to follow Him! Peace Inno

Hi there

Charles Haddon Spurgeon, said:

 

 "May we live here like strangers and make the world not a house, but an inn, in which we sup and lodge, expecting to be on our journey tomorrow."

It goes without saying therefore that we need to prepare for this journey. On at least 2 occasions, I forgot vital travelling documents because I got into last minute preps. Sad to say, many of us think we can live here as we choose, with no excuses and go completely free or fix things with God at the last minute - There is no guarantee! One thing we can all be sure of is that there is a day of reckoning. 

 

You want to be sure you're ready for tomorrow's journey? Prepare today. Speak to the one who created this space and placed you in it, for a purpose. Dial Jesus Today. I recommend you take a look at this site - http://www.wayofthemaster.com/goodperson.shtml

 

Enjoy the weekend in this Inn,

Inno

The Beginning

This opens 30 days of authenticity. Of living truth beyond self. I invite you to take this journey with me as we explore the fullness of living in Jesus. Living as He would have. This is a bold declaration, yes, but is there anything really, we can accomplish without His grace?

 

Lord I am willing - take me deeper.

 

Lesson 1

Authentic Love- Others first-

 

1 Corinthians 13.

Youth Ablaze

YOUTH ABLAZE FOR JESUS.

Luke 19:26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

Mathew 7:13

The NORMAL condition of any youth and Christian (Jesus' follower) Is being Hot, ablaze, on FIRE. That is why the word lukewarm (Rev 3:16) occurs only once in the bible.

1. Introduction


2. Properties of fire


Recently Australia experienced a loss of more than

150 lives in a fire incidence.

Fire helps us cook, keeps us warm and accomplish

many things. The unique property in Fire that makes it useful, is not is color or look, but rather it's ability to generate heat i.e. IT IS HOT!

Fire feeds on oxygen to grow. Cut it's oxygen and it will die.

3. Some statistics: From the Joshua Project website


As of Friday the world population was estimated at 6,725,593,220

Cameroon

has a population of over 18 million people (some sources put this figure at 20 million).

There has been over

16.4 million births since the beginning of this year 7.270.559 deaths
Adolescents (< 15)

alone make up more than 1.8 billion of world population

Top causes for death

; Cardiovascular, Cancer, STD/HIV/AIDS , Respiratory infection, traffic diseases, suicides , malaria and topping everything Abortion , (estimated at 4,958,320 twice the number of those that die from Cardiovascular diseases)!

Who is aborting, topping the chart on suicides and suffering from

STDS/HIV/AIDS? The youth!

The devil's strategy destroy the youth.. And when he can't do that, CUT off

their supply of oxygen. Keep them lukewarm!
4. A Youth/Christian is on Fire when (s)he is

1- Connected (Is a disciple of Jesus, obeys the Lord, and grows in fellowship and the word) 2- Authentic (Is light and salt. A city built on a hill. A witness Mathew 28:19) 3- An Agent of Transformation (A servant who seeks and knows the masters will/heart and lives for it. Pleasing his master is his ultimate focus and delight. Spiritual maturity)

If we really are going to be on fire, then we need to start out by dying to our own-selves. We need the 3 Ds -Discipline, Devotion and Determination

.
The world today is

loaded with options , which more often than not have hidden agendas to distract us from the narrow way. TV, PC games, Play station. Sin is now called a genetic tendency and parents get locked up for chastising their wayward children.
More common to see a

Youth in a Taxi bragging about his 'immoral' exploits in a nightclub than to find a youth talking about Jesus with the same confidence to friends. Recently, hundreds of youths stormed the congress hall and Foire, under the banner of Promote / Foire 2008 . Christians actively selling their faith were almost no where to be found! The world is presently going through times of financial crisis, wars, rumors of wars, natural disasters, heightened immorality as corrupt artists, Atheist, homosexuals and a host of satan's armies seek to push his agenda down the throat of our brothers and sisters. The media actively promotes the world agenda and many seek to be politically correct rather than Holy.
Do we remain cold, lukewarm and at best underachievers as the unholy fire of Compromise, laziness and pride burns on?

"The god of the world is riches, pleasure, and pride, wherewith it abuses all the creatures and gifts of God". Martin Luther in Luther Table talk.

"...God ... has left men in a darkness from which they can escape only through Jesus Christ, without whom all communion with God is cut off..." Blaise Pascal in Pensees.

5. What we need to do


Youth : Do not compromise! Do not be lukewarm ( A normal Christian should be HOT)! Let your heat beat at the same rhythm with God's - SOULS


Parents: Are we parents or service providers? Children/youth learn

from us. What are we promoting?

The Church: At least 80% became born-again under 30! Are we investing correctly/wisely?


Men worth mentioning Keith Green: Joseph (Book of Genesis) : Adolescent who preaches in the streets: Youths in London, preaching in the street


In Conclusion If you do ordinary things, you get ordinary results. The only way we can

achieve extraordinary results is by going the extra mile. The bible and you. The Holy Spirit (determine to hear his voice).
Don't get distracted. Go the extra mile in prayer, fasting, witnessing and living up

the Gospel. To him who has more will be given.
