Ministering: Pastor E. A. Adeboye
Topic: El-Shaddai
Text: Genesis 17:1
☆ The very first time God introduced Himself to man, He introduced Himself as Jehovah El-Shaddai.
• Bible scholars say it means God, Your mother's breast, which means that He can supply what we all need with extra.
▪︎ If you need a child, God is able to provide you with children no matter how old you are. Genesis 18: 9-14
▪︎ God is more than sufficient for the widow and widower.
+ 1 Kings 17: 8-16
+ 2 Kings 4: 1-7
+ Luke 7: 11-15
▪︎ The Almighty God is more than sufficient for the orphan.
There are different categories of orphans:
• Half orphan - one who has lost only one parent
• Full orphan - one who has lost both parents
• Special orphan - parents are living but have abandoned them. Psalm 27:10
• And there are orphans whose parents are living, love them, but don't have the resources/ wherewithal to help.
☆ The Almighty God has promised to help everyone who is needy. Isaiah 41:17
▪︎ God is more than enough for the elderly.
• The greatest problem of the elderly is loneliness.
• Your friends may die, but God never will.
Isaiah 46: 3-4, Hebrews 13:5
☆ God told Abraham to walk before Him so God could watch over Abraham.
2 Chronicles 16:9, 1 Peter 5:8
• If you stay where God can see you, He will see you before the enemy sees you.If you choose to stay behind God, then you are on your own.
☆ The reason why you wouldn't want to walk where God will see you is because you have something to hide.
• The Almighty God can see danger far ahead, and He knows how to prevent the danger from coming to you; provided you walk before Him.
Are you willing to walk before God?
