Theme: Glorious Supernatural Advancement.
Key Points:
What is Glory.
Glory is the quality in something or person that secures Honour or praise.
•God's Glory isn't about the clothes we wear, our skin colour, height, or any physical attributes. Glory in advancement is the one that comes from God.
•The Glory of God made Paul the most reputable apostle of Christ.
What is Supernatural?
Something divine, extraordinary, is beyond human comprehension, intellect, science.
•When God is in motion, who can stop him?
•By Supernatural grace from God we will hit another level.
•Supernatural cases doesn't depend on profession of any person like in the case of peter when he tried to show it when Jesus told him to cast the net again. (Luke 5:1-8).
What is Advancement?
The act of moving forward, the state of progression, improvement in anything we do.
•God is able to advance us. The enemy can't disrupt or hinder his advancement in our lives. Like in the case of the Israelites when they were leaving Egypt. Neither the sea could stop them nor did the Egyptians because it was God that was advancing them. This is the characteristics of God's Advancement.
What will advance our lives.
1. Power
2. Authority.
•Jesus gave the disciples power and authority to enable them advance.
•Many of us carry power but no authority and vice versa. Power and authority must work hand in hand for successful advancement.
• Some of us carry authority but the devil plays with our possessions as he pleases due to lack of power.
•When we carry power with authority, we don't need material possessions because the wealth of hidden places is within our command (Luke 9:3), we wont need assignments that is very common in Christianity today.
•Peter was one of the apostles with power and authority. He didn't need educational training to be able to speak convincing Words to people with boldness. ( Acts 4:13).
•The disciples came back with 5000 men after receiving power and authority from Jesus. This is a supernatural result. 12 men producing 5000men. (Luke 9:10-14). That's why we need this power and authority to advance..
•We have a supernatural God, why then do we doubt him? Why do we allow obstacles to overwhelm us. (Luke 9:13-17).
•Step out of your limitations, failures and what will turn down your advancement.
God bless us all, Amen.
