July 2026 Thanksgiving Service
Ministering: Pastor E.A Adeboye
Topic: Above Only
Text: Deuteronomy 28:1-13
There are categories of people: Head and Tail, Above and Beneath.
In the Bible, we see other examples of categorizations.
Matthew 15:21-28- Classification into children and dogs.
Proverbs 22:29 - Classification between kings and mean men.
It is God who can lift a man above.
Promotion comes from God.
There are certain places that are not possible for man, but are easy with God.
In 1 Samuel 2:7-9, the bible tells us God can pick up a beggar from the dung hill and make him reside with kings.
🙏🏾 My God will promote you today.
Getting to the top, depends seriously on the mercy of God.
Romans 9:15-16 - It is not of him that willeth or runneth but God who shows mercy.
🙏🏾 I pray for you today, you will obtain mercy from God.
There is nothing as terrible as being an ex-champion. The sorrows of an ex champion are multiple.
There’s nothing as terrible as having being to the top, and now being in a valley.
🙏🏾 I pray for you, you will be above only! You will never be beneath!
How to Remain Above Only
1. You must keep climbing.
2. You must be merciful, so God can have mercy on you. Learn to show mercy unto others. Romans 9:15-16
3. You must praise God continuously.
(Psalm 34: 1-2)
In 2 Samuel 6: 16-22 , David praised the Lord undignified and unashamedly, and the throne remained in his lineage forever, so much that even the King of Kings came from his lineage.
If you want to stay on top forever , you must be with the one who can raise you forever.
I invite you now to come to the Lord today, come and surrender your life to the one who can promote and sustain you at the very top.
Prayer:
Father the great promoter, please keep promoting me until I reach the top. And then keep me at the top forever in Jesus’ name.
