Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God spoke on ‘GOING HIGHER PART 39’ at RCCG Special Sunday Service.
The man of God explained that when God wants to confirm to you beyond any doubt that you are special to Him, He will take you to the mountain top. If you find anybody else with you at that time, it was that they are in the same club with you. There are things only very few people can see, there are things only very few people can hear. I am sure you know that the boardroom in your factory is a small room. Very few people get there yet tremendous decisions are taken there. There is the need to be alone with God. I hope you begin to practice that from now on.
The man of God revealed that another fellow who he saw and liked so much is Apostle Paul, who is a man that shows that the higher we go, the more humble we should be. This is for those of us who are going to be going higher. There was a time that Paul said “I was among the chiefest Apostles” (2 Corinthians 11:5). Later on, as he began to come to his senses, he said: “I am the least of all the apostles” (1 Corinthians 15:9) but later on he said, “I am less than the least of saints” (Ephesians 3:8). I am not just an apostle, I am less than the one who has just been born again. By the time he got to writing to Timothy in 1 Timothy 1:15, he said “I am the chief of sinners”. He went down steadily so that God can raise him steadily.
The Bible says in Psalm 112:11 when your heart is fixed on the Lord, then you will not be afraid of evil tidings. He is a man with rugged determination like in Genesis 32:24-26 when Jacob was wrestling with that angel. He said I am not going to let you go until you bless me, I think Elijah was saying I am not going to even look to the sky until you send rain. “The reason many prayers are not answered is that those who are praying are not determined. When a man hasn’t got plan B, he prays with determination,” he said.
