DO MORE FOR GOD – Friday June 12th
2020
Memorise: Be thou
exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth. Psalm
57:11
Read: Psalm 145:4-13
(KJV)
4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty,
and of thy wondrous works.
6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts:
and I will declare thy greatness.
7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great
goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
8 The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion;
slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The Lord is good to all: and his tender
mercies are over all his works.
10 All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee.
11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk
of thy power;
12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and
the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy
dominion endureth throughout all generations.

to do, do it with thy mighty; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge,
not wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. Ecclesiastes 9:10
Open Heaven 12 June 2020 – Do More For God
While
the Government of Nigeria was planning for the 1977 Festival of Arts and Culture
(FESTAC), it occurred to me that, since it was going to be a public holiday, I
could gather students to study the Bible pray and dance for Jesus instead.

I
got the necessary information and approvals, then wrote letters to the schools.
However, I did not have money to post the letters, not to mention feeding and
accommodating the students, as I had promised. A friend had offered his savings
of ₦4,000 but we still needed more, so I had to sell my car. That programme
which started small is now known all over the world as the RCCG Congress. I was
not even the General Overseer then, just a Christian who wanted to lift Jesus’
name above all else.
In
1998, a politician claimed he could gather two million people in a place. I
thought: “If he can gather two million people for himself, we can gather four
million people for God.” So, Lekki ’98 held and by God’s grace, over six
million people attended, causing a great revival in Nigeria.
Open Heaven 12 June 2020: Friday Reflection
At another time, a popular brand announced its goal of having at least one consumer in every family of the world. I was challenged; I believed we could do that for God too. There could be at least one member of the RCCG in every family of the world. Today, the RCCG is in over 197 countries of the world.
As
Christian, we must match and outwit every secular dream. No more timidity! Do
everything to ensure that God’s name is praised above all others. If you make a
move, God will do the rest. Do more for God always.
Reflection
We are the Apostles
of our time, How much are we doing to propagate the gospel.
