PRAY FOR ME

Image
PRAY FOR ME (The Teaching Ministry Of Dr. Joel Dabbas) Scripture: Luke 22:31-32 KJV And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: [32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. One of the things we enjoy as saints of God is the ministry of a praying eternal priest. There is an eternal, endless intercession by our Lord Jesus for us. Paul, by revelation, said concerning us and Christ Jesus in Romans 8:34 KJV, "Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us." Prayer is the major spiritual engagement in this kingdom. That is why the enemy does everything within his capacity to fight the prayer fire of kingdom men. There is a rise of certain Christians today with a theology that is anti-praying. But from our anchor text, we see that Jesus ...

RAIN OF ABUNDANCE

FOCUS: RAIN OF ABUNDANCE. SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: 1 King 18:41, Zechariah 10:1, Joel 2:23-24 When Elijah prophesied that there is a sound of abundance, everything didn't look like it physically but His ears in the spirit heard it and He voiced it into physical manifestation by the voice of faith. And today we also have same spirit of faith and same ears of the spirit we hear and proclaim there is a sound of abundance in the atmosphere of 2022 for us. Biblically, ā€œrainā€ symbolizes ā€¢ Goodness of God ā€¢ Blessing ā€¢ Word of God; and ā€¢ The Holy Spirit What does abundance of rain mean? It means existing in plentiful supply. It means that scarcity, emptiness, and lack is broken Existing in a realm where resources is larger than the need It is Existing in a realm where the neck of worry for supply is broken The sound of ā€œAbundance of rainā€ meant the curse is over, blessing is pouring in again!  Hear me just as i hear God, there is a sound of abundance of rain for you,...

THE RAIN OF REVIVAL

Image
  FOCUS: RAIN OF REVIVAL TEXT: Zechariah 10:1, Joel 2:23-24 Let me attempt to define revival in two plains The first plain as to do with God. On this ground I will define revival as God's hand, person and presence been revealed amongst men. It is God visiting men. So revival then is such a display of Godā€™s holiness and power that often human personalities are overshadowed and human programs abandoned. It is God breaking into the consciousness of men in majesty and glory. The second plain has to do with us (you and i) which is the most important. Because we are God's vehicles that drives anything God wants to do in this generation. So whatever our state is will reflect or enable the physical revelation of divine process and manifestations in and around the world. So Revival means to live again, to receive again a life which has almost expired; to rekindle into a flame the vital spark which was nearly extinguished. So revival is you coming back to the reality of the life and fire...

RAIN OF POWER

Image
  THE RAIN OF POWER TEXT: PSALM 110:3, ACTS 1:8 One of the greatest necessities of a child of God today is to have supernatural power. It is the hallmark of our true sonship in God as the Father. To have dominion in this system, supernatural power is needed. The power of God is one of the most prized possessions any human being can have on the earth; power with God is key to power on earth (Gen. 32:28) Jacob was blessed but was running like a chicken for his brother Esau; he was cheated by Laban (his father in law) and lived his life as a servant. But one night he had a time out with God and that day he stepped into power. God changed his name to Israel and said as a prince as thou power with God and with men. That caused a total revolution in his life. I want you to note the following: 1. Nothing helps you to accurately represent God here on earth like the presence of His power 2. Nothing helps you to spread like the presence of power: "for you shall receive power....

RAIN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

  FOCUS: THE RAIN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. SCRIPTURAL FOCUS : HOSEA 10:12, ISAIAH 45:8 WHAT IS RIGHTEOUSNESS ā€¢ Righteousness is loving what God loves and hating what God hates (Ps.45:6-7) It is complete alignment with God in all things ā€¢ Righteousness is taking a stand for right irrespective of who is taking the opposite stand (Ex. 32:26) It is standing for what is right even if it means standing alone ā€¢ Righteousness is living with a pure, clear and lively conscience (Acts 24:16; 1Tim. 4:2) Always have a conscience that is awake ā€¢ Righteousness is living by the principles of God rather than the principles or standards of the world (Eccl. 12:13) It is living by the rules of the Kingdom of God and not by the rules of the systems of the earth ā€¢ Righteousness is living for God instead of living for self (Phil. 1:21) It is making God the centre of your life and not making yourself the centre of your life Righteousness is our spiritual gene. Righteousness is not just a s...

DIVINE REMEMBRANCE

  FOCUS: DIVINE REMEMBRANCE  SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Malachi 3:16 ; Esther 6:1-11 FURTHER STUDY: 2Kings 20:3, Gen.8:1-5; 30:22; Exo.2:24; Num.10:9; 1Sam.1:19; Ps.20:1-4; 106:4; Isa.38:3; Jer.15:15; Neh.13:31; Judg.16:28. Ps.104:6; Ps.25:7; Is. 43: 18-19 Nehemiah 5:19, Psalm 106:4. One of the notorious aspects of life is that man can easily dwindle away and forget about you. There are people today who are struggling because men forgot them. There are people who are sitting at the gate instead of ridding on the horse of honour and royalty because someone forgot their acts and good deeds (Esther 6:1-11). Now, there are certain attributes of God that are not only consoling but rewarding. One of which is that God remembers/ He does not forget. Isaiah 49:14-15 KJV says that "But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. [15] Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet ...

HELPED

Image
FOCUS: HELP  SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: 1 SAMUEL 7:9-12 The great king David said in Psalm 121:1-2 KJV that "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. [2] My help cometh from the Lord , which made heaven and earth." The truth is that no one becomes anything in life unless that person is being helped. Help is a system of assistance created by God to make life easy. Help is the God creating advantage for you Help is a spiritual leverage system that helps amplify, modify and helps actualize your dream and goals. Help is God strengthening your hand to pursue and actualize what you have never done before For example see what what happened in 1 Kings 18:44-46 KJV "And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot , and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not. [45] And it came to pass in the mean while, ...

FAMILY

Image
FOCUS: FAMILY  SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Isaiah 8:18 A family is a group of people connected by blood. Everyone is a part of a biological family tree. It is through a family that we all have the opportunity of existence. In other words, family is Godā€™s ordained land to plant you on earth. Family is vital for God's mandate on earth.  For example when Jesus was to be born, God looked for the family of Joseph the descendant of David to bring His Son into the world. When God wanted to raise a people of covenant, He looked for the family of Abraham and established His covenant with them. I want you to note this: Every family including yours has a prophetic mandate from God. The truth is that the devil knows this and that is why He fights families. But hear me as I hear God, every family challenge and battle is destroyed today in Jesus Name.  Now, I want us to x-ray certain things about families and by extension your family as we command the year 2022. 1. In every family God plants a g...

THANKSGIVING

Image
FOCUS: THANKSGIVING    SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Psalm 92:1 Thanksgiving is an act of appreciation and gratitude. Thanksgiving unto God therefore is the act of celebrating, glorifying, being grateful for what He has done for you and who He has been to you. Every giant in the Bible was known for Thanksgiving. For example Jesus always gives God thanks. At the tomb of Lazarus Jesus said  "thank You Father, because You hear me always." He was thankful for answers to prayers. Again Jesus was handed five loaves of bread and two fishes, He lifted it to the Father and thanked Him, it all multiplied. Thanksgiving is a spiritual force that causes the amplification of God's goodness in our lives Thanksgiving is a product from a grateful heart. If you can think or be retrospective about what the Lord has done in your life you  will always be thankful. Two levels of Thanksgiving  1. Thanking God for what He has done (Luke 17:15-19) 2. Thanking God for what He will yet do: John 6:11 ...

THE JOURNAL OF A PRAYING MAN

THE JOURNAL OF A PRAYING MAN With Joel Dabbas   SCRIPTURE: Epaphras, who is one of you, A SERVANT of Christ, salutes you, always LABORING FERVENTLY for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God | Colossians 4:12  Prayer is a spiritual conduit that helps you to reach into great realities that are farfetched from the ordinary.  Prayer is a spiritual system for men to do business in the spirit realm (Luke 18:1).  Prayer is the constituency of the righteous man (James 5:16) Prayer is the believer's respiratory organ. You can't live without Prayer. If there must be spiritual aliveness, prayer must be active. Prayer is organic to people who value intimacy and partnership with God.  Prayer activates and updates the virtues, capacities and abilities if a spiritual man. Prayer is not the duty of a pastor, nor is it one of the functions in a Church meeting. It is a constant spiritual activity of a believer. The level of consistency ...
