Weekly Message from the THRONE of GOD
April 5, 2020
Title of message – God is our refuge
Summary – The book of Psalm 46:1-11 makes us to understand that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. This implies that any help we need to be successful in life is in God Almighty. A refuge is a place that shelters or protects from danger or difficulty. It is also a place of safety. A refugee is one that flees his/her country and is protected in another country according to the United Nations Act of 1951. In the same vein, God protects us once we declare for Him. If God is our refuge, that means He is our shelter and protects us from any danger or difficulty. God is too reliable and dependable to fail for He is a faithful God. However, it is important to believe the word of God to be able to see the manifestation in our lives. A perfect example is in Luke 1:38 when the Angel of the Lord delivered a message to Mary concerning the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Mary believed and it came to manifestation. 1 Thessalonians 5:24 shows that Good is ever faithful to deliver His promises to us. Recall that Abraham believed God even when there was nothing to show that Isaac will come. Also, according to Romans 4:21, we are fully convinced that God will cause His promises to come to pass. It does not matter the chaos or plague in the world right now, believe the word of God and see the manifestation in your lives. In line with Psalm 37:18-19, the Lord knows the days of the upright and the inheritance shall be for ever, we will not be ashamed and in the days of famine, we shall be satisfied.
Words of Prophecy – In times like this, you will know no shame in your career, in your workplace, in your marriage. The Lord will satisfy you in times of famine in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Other Biblical evidences that God is our refuge –
- Psalm 9:9 – The Lord is our refuge in times of trouble. Just as the world is in trouble today, God Almighty is our refuge
- Proverbs 18:10 – The name of the Lord is a strong tower, run into it and be saved.
Words of Prophecy – You and your family are all saved no matter what is currently going on in the world today in Jesus Name, Amen
Our benefits if God is our refuge –
- Psalm 91:1 – We abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Just like a hen breeds its chicks, we are secured as long as we are with God. In Joshua 20:1-9, God instituted that refugees be protected until a hearing is conducted. So, understand that the moment you run into God, you are protected. When you take yourself away from God, there is no covering anymore!
- Psalm 91:2 – God will be your refuge. Believe it, say it and mean it. Surely God will deliver you from any trap of the wicked.
- Psalm 91:4 – God shall cover you under His wings to protect you. His truth shall be your shield and buckler. Recall that a shield protects against arrows from the enemy. God will be your shield to protect you from every arrow of the enemy.
Words of Prophecy – Because God is your refuge, no one can waste your life, marriage or career in Jesus Name, Amen. No one in this ministry shall be wasted because God is your shield, in Jesus Name Amen.
- Psalm 91:6 – Because you have made God your habitation and refuge, no pestilence or virus shall come near your dwelling. God will protect you from any manipulations of the wicked. However, do not be distracted out of the presence of God. Also do not be on spiritual vacation for the Bible says that we should not forsake the assembly of the brethren. It is very risky to be on spiritual vacation!
Conclusion – As long as God Almighty is your refuge and fortress, no evil shall befall you, your children, your marriage, your career, your destiny. As long as God is your refuge, no plague or virus shall come near your dwelling in Jesus Name, Amen

Title of message – We are more than Conquerors
Summary – The book of Romans 8:31-39 draws our attention to the fact that none of these issues of life (tribulation, distress, famine, nakedness, peril, persecution or sword) should separate us from the love of JESUS CHRIST. As we go through all or some of these issues, we are more than conquerors. However, note that being in a battle does not make us conquerors. Winning one or two battles also does not make us conquerors. A conqueror is one who consistently wins battles, one whose lifestyle is consistently winning battles. A conqueror is one who is permanently registered on the winning side, one who has a winning mentality. To be a conqueror, the winning mentality must be rooted in GOD Almighty. It takes the hand of GOD to win and a conqueror enjoys the backing of GOD all the time.
Biblical evidences supporting being a conqueror –
- Judges 14:19 – Samson ability to win was rooted in GOD. Here the spirit of the LORD came upon Samson and he went down to Ashkelon where he slew thirty men. Notice that Samson was able to do this because the SPIRIT of GOD came up him. For us to consistently wing battles in this world, we must be rooted in GOD and the SPIRIT of the LORD must be upon us.
- 1 Samuel 16:13 – Note that once Samuel anointed David, the SPIRIT of the LORD came upon David. Recall that David never lost any battle in his time. The SPIRIT of the LORD rested on David and made him a conqueror. Brethren understand that the important ingredient to being a conqueror is the SPIRIT of the LORD.
Words of Prophecy – Beginning from today, I decree that the SPIRIT of the LORD will rest upon you and you will no longer lose any battle in life in JESUS Name, Amen. According to Acts of Apostles 1:8, You shall receive the HOLY SPIRIT and you shall be a winner, do not be afraid or perplexed for the LORD is with you
- Jeremiah 1:19 – When the enemy or circumstances of this world fight against you, they will not prevail against you for the LORD has promised to be with you and to deliver you. If GOD be for us, who can be against us? Note that once you are born again, you are born of the SPIRIT of God and the enemy will not prevail against you no matter how they fought because GOD will be with you. You are conquerors!
- Numbers 14:9 – Never fear your enemy, do not rebel against the LORD and GOD will be with you. When you have GOD on your side, you have everything. Psalm of David 23:4 reminds us that even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil for Jehovah is with us. Therefore, fear not any corona virus for GOD is with you and you shall prevail.
Brethren, this is not a time for believers to compromise their faith in GOD. This is the time to draw close to GOD. Recall the lives of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego as well as Daniel. These are believers that drew close to GOD and became conquerors. When GOD is not with you, every thing works against you. To be on the winning side, the spirit of GOD has to be with you, for SPIRIT of GOD to be with you, you must not compromise your faith.
Words of Prophecy – Beginning from today, GOD is with you and you will not compromise your faith in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
- 1 John 5:19 – Here we understand that we are of GOD and the whole world lies in wickedness. As children of GOD, we are exempted from the wickedness of this world as long as we remain with GOD. As children of GOD, we are partakers of GOD’s Divine Nature. There is no pain, wickedness, corona virus in the nature of GOD. So, we are exempted from all these pains as long as we are with GOD. We are conquerors!
Words of Prophecy – Everyone in this ministry is exempted from corona virus, pain failure, poverty, sickness for you are partakers of GOD’s Divine Nature in Jesus Name, Amen.
- Ezekiel 21:27 – Here GOD promised to overturn, overturn, overturn all failures, pains etc until they are no more. Draw close to GOD and HIS promises will be fulfilled in your life.
Conclusion – In Galatians 3:13, CHRIST has redeemed us from the curse of the law. We are redeemed and we are conquerors. We are free from any fear, any corona virus, any pain, any failure, any poverty in the name of JESUS CHRIST, Amen

Title of message – Why are ye so fearful?
Summary – The Gospel of Mark 4:35-41 narrates the story of how Jesus and His disciples were in a ship when there arose a great storm of wind beating the waves into the ship until the ship was filled with water. Jesus was asleep and when the disciples woke Him up, He arose and rebuked the wind and calmed the sea. Jesus then said to the disciples Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?. There is so much fear in the world today because of the pandemic currently going on. Even believers are not left out. While we must adhere strictly to the precautionary measures (wash hands, maintain social distance etc), we must understand that safety is of the Lord. At times like this with so much fear due to the pandemic corona virus, we must not be afraid, we must continue to trust and have faith in God. We must draw close to God.
Jesus told His disciples “Let us pass over unto the other side”. Recall that as they were going, they encountered the storm. Now that the storm of corona virus is blowing everywhere, Jesus is saying to you today, DO NOT FEAR! Note that God is moved by your faith and not tears. Just like Jesus rebuked the wind and calmed the storm, God has given us the same creative voice to rebuke this virus and it will flee from around us. Do not be afraid for we are in the same boat with the owner and creator of the universe. If God be for us, how can this virus be around us? We must learn to confess positively for there is power in the spoken word.
Biblical evidences supporting that safety is of the Lord as long as we do not fear but maintain faith and trust in God Almighty –
- Psalm 127:1 – Here the Lord made us to understand that “except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waked but in vain”. This goes to show that as long as we have faith in God and do not fear, we are safe from this pandemic.
- Proverbs 21:31 – Here the Lord made to understand that the horse is prepared by the owner against the day of battle but safety is of the Lord. Therefore, we do not need to fear because God is in control.
- Deuteronomy 31:6-8 – We understand that we must be strong and of good courage. We must not fear, we must not be dismayed, we must not be afraid of them for the Lord our God will go with us and will neither fail nor forsake us. While the precautionary measures of the medical expert is not in dispute, we must understand that the Holy Bible is the word of God, the word of God is the truth and we must believe the word of God.
- Exodus 15:26 – Here the Lord said that if we harken to His voice and do that which is right in His sight, obey Him and keep His commands, He will not allow the disease to come upon us. He is the Lord that heals us. As long as we walk in the light of the scriptures (the word of God), God will not allow the disease to come up us
- Exodus 23:25-27 – Because we serve the Living God, He shall bless our bread and water and take away sickness from us. Therefore, we shall not fear any corona virus, only have faith in God and God will take away this sickness from our midst.
Words of Prophecy – Because you serve a living God,
- None of you shall die a premature death. God shall fulfill the number of your days. None of you shall cast their young in the name of Jesus, Amen
As we sing and meditate on the song “My hope is built on nothing else” (see verse 1 lyrics below), the question is whose report do we believe? We believe the report of God and that settles it. Let us keep in mind that what we believe determines how we behave and how we behave determines what we become in life. Children of God, understand that as we believe every Word of God, we are empowered to became what the Word says.
Word of Prophecy – According to John 1:12, the power to become the word of God is hereby released unto you in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen
- Job 3:25 – Fear must be avoided by all means. Note that fear opened the door in Job’s life even though he was righteous. Fear is a tormentor according to 1 John 4:18. Fear have the capacity to paralyze the work of God in our lives. Note that whatever you fear most may likely come upon you. Do not fear! Remember that just as Faith in God provokes divine intervention, fear on the other hand provokes satanic intervention. Whatever we do not fear will never come near our dwelling. We have the spirit of God, we live in liberty, Praise the Lord, Amen
- Proverbs 29:25 – Trust in God and do not fear because what you fear will slay you. Jesus said that we should only fear Him that can kill both the body and soul. Do not confess negatively because life and death is in the power of the tongue. Run into God and you are secured!
- Ephesians 4:27 – Satan cannot operate in our lives, careers, marriages, destiny if we do not give a place to the devil. Recall that in 2 Timothy 1:7, God hath not given us the spirit of fear but of power, love and sound mind. Fear is a spirit from devil and not of God. Note that if we continue to live a carnal life, we will not be able to conquer fear. To conquer fear, we must live a God-fearing life, we must have faith and trust in God Almighty.
Word of Prophecy – Every seed of fear around you, around your career, around your marriages, around your destiny, around your lives are hereby broken in Jesus Name, Amen. Be free and free indeed for whom our Lord Jesus has set free is free indeed.
- Romans 8:15 – We have all received the spirit of God in us, not the spirit of bondage. Therefore, when we call Him Abba, Father, He will hear us. Do not open doors of fear so that other doors of affliction will not be opened unto you.
What to do when you sense fear around you –
- Psalm 56:3 – Remember to always trust in the Lord anytime you sense fear around you.
- Psalm 125:1-2 – As long as you trust in the Lord, you will be as mount Zion that cannot be moved. God will surround you just like mountains surround Jerusalem.
- Proverbs 30:30 – Just as the lion does not turn away from any other beast, roar like the lion when you sense any fear and spirit of fear will give way.
- Isaiah 54:17 – Take on the shield of faith. As long as we understand the power of God residing in us, we shall not fear. How is it that you are fearful? Faith is the cure for fear, Faith is crucial in our walk with God. In line with Ephesians 6:16-17, put on the whole amor of God and take on the shield of faith, and this will quench ALL (not few) the fiery darts of the enemy. Faith comes by hearing the word of God. Take on the shield of faith and quench the power of this virus over your lives, marriages, children etc.
Conclusion – Observe the precautionary measures from the medical experts and keep in mind that except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman waketh but in vain, Psalm 127: 1-3. Safety and protection come from the Lord. We must not fear, we must trust and have faith in God and God will see us through in Jesus Name, Amen
My Hope is built on nothing else
My hope is built on nothing else
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ Name
Refrain – On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

Title of message – Don’t give up
Summary – The Gospel of Mark 5:25-34 describes the story of the woman with the issue of blood for 12 years. The Bible said the woman suffered “many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse”. She did not give up rather she trusted God till the end until she received her healing. Brethren, let us learn from the experience of this woman and trust God till the very end for surely, we shall receive our breakthrough. Our God is a faithful God and HE cannot change. It is probably the easiest thing to give up but one thing is certain, winners in life never quit or give up and quitters never win. As long as we stand on the promises of God, testimony is certain.
Here are biblical evidences showing that as long as we trust God and do not give up, we shall receive our expectations –
- Malachi 3:6 – Here the Lord made us to understand that He is the Lord and changes not. This implies that men of this world can change, our brothers and sisters can fail us but God Almighty cannot change and cannot not fail. As long as we trust God and do not give up, God is faithful and cannot not change.
Words of prophecy – If we do not give up,
- Every ash in our lives is hereby turned into beauty
- Every valley in our lives is hereby filled
- Every mountain is hereby removed in Jesus Name, Amen
- Proverbs 24:10 – Here the word of the Lord made us to understand that if we faint in the day of adversity, our strength is small. This implies that no matter what challenges we are facing, we are only going through it and will come out stronger as long as we do not faint or give up. The joy of the Lord is our strength so we must endeavour to be joyful in the Lord to be able to draw strength that will carry us through. In Joel 1:12, the bible explains that when joy withers from the sons of men, everything dries up. Therefore, we need joy unspeakable, joy that knows no bound to draw the strength to persevere in the days of adversity
- Luke 9:62 – Here Jesus explains that “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”. This implies that we need to be steadfast and not look back or give up. No man who looks back after seeing a miracle is fit for that miracle.
- Hebrews 10:38 – The bible explains that the just shall live by faith and that if any man draws back, God shall have no pleasure in him. This implies that we shall have faith that God will do what He promised us and never draw back or give up. For if we draw back from God, God will also drawback from us.
- Matthew 24:13 – Here the bible explains that for us to be saved, we must endure to the end. We must be steadfast and unmoved to be able to receive the crown at the end
- 1 Corinthians 15:58 – Here the bible explains that we should be unmoveable, be steadfast for God makes all things beautiful in His own time.
- Ecclesiastes 3:11 – We should never set deadlines for God and do not give up for God makes all things beautiful in HIS own time. This implies that as long as we trust God and not give up, the rewarder of all things will meet us at the point of our needs.
- Daniel 7:25 – Satan’s purpose is to wear us out but we must resist the devil and he will flee from us. Then we must persevere till the end to wear our crowns
- Habakkuk 2:2-3 – Though our visions tarry, we are encouraged to wait for it for it shall surely come in the end. The woman with the issue of blood waited and her healing came at the end
- Psalm 27:13 – Let us believe to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living and it shall be ours
- Job 14:14 – Let us wait for all the days of our appointed time till our change comes. We must not give up at the edge of our breakthrough
- Luke 21:13 – As we wait on the Lord, stand on His Word and promises and not give up, it shall turn to us for a testimony.
In conclusion, brethren let us continue to trust in God, believe in HIM, do not faint in the face of adversity, do not give up for surely God shall make all things beautiful as HIS own time.

Title of message – In HIS Presence
Summary – In Gen 39:1-9, Joseph demonstrated that he was a carrier of God’s presence by running away from sin. Had Potiphar’s wife succeeded, she would have destroyed the presence of God which Joseph carried. By remaining steadfast in the LORD, Joseph distinguished himself and later became very successful. By submitting and carrying God’s presence, Joseph did not fail in life. This means that when we submit to God’s will, we will always be in God’s presence and God will lead and guide us. Under God’s leadership, everything answers to us including career breakthrough, success in business, good health for us and our families. In Exodus 33:15, Moses asked that God’s presence go with them and God led them all through. We must endeavour to be carriers of God’s presence and God will continue to led us. The Ark of Covenant symbolises the presence of God and each time it showed up, something must give way. In 1 Sam 4:5-8, the ark of Covenant was brought into the camp of Israel and the Philistines were afraid and cried because no one will be able to deliver them from the hands of the God of Israel. This implies that if we carry God’s presence, our enemies will know this and will be afraid, and no power will be able to stop us.
Benefits of carrying God’s presence
- We will have prosperity – Joseph became Prime Minister in Egypt – Gen 41:41-46. Prosperity includes success in career, business and good health for us and families.
- Workers of iniquity and our enemies will see us and tremble – 1 Sam 4:5-8
- We will have God’s blessings for us and our households. In 2 Sam 6:11, God blessed Obededom and household because he allowed God’s presence in his house
- God will show us the path of life and we will live in fulness of joy in HIS presence where there are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11
- God will speak into our ears to guide and direct us when we carry His presence. Isaiah 30:21
- God teaches us to profit. Isaiah 48:17
Prerequisites to carrying God’s presence
- Let go of sin. Prov 14:9. Sin is a destroyer and the soul that sinneth shall die – Ezekiel 18:4, Let every man that wants the presence of God depart from iniquity – 2 Tim 2:19. In 1 Kings 11:1-2, Solomon fell out of God’s favour due to sin. Same as Samson
- Be addicted to praise and worship of God. God inhabits the praises of His people, Psalm 22:3. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, Psalm 95:1-2. Paul and Silas prayed and sang and the presence of God came down and set them free, Acts 16:25-26
- Be addicted to prayer to God. Heb 4:16 says we can come boldly to the throne of God to obtain mercy. Jacob wrestled in Gen 32:24-28 and did not let go until he was blessed, therefore we will not let go in our prayers until we receive our own blessings

Title of message – The Unlimited Power of Faith
Summary – In Mark 9:23, Jesus emphasized that all things are possible unto them that believeth. Faith is therefore the practical expression of confidence in God and His Word. The belief that God will do what HE has promised us. And Faith cometh by hearing the word of God.
Bible verses to strengthen our faith in God
- Exercising our faith and confidence in God has great recompense. Faith in God is to our benefit. Hebrews 10:35-36
- Faith in God is the confidence that what we hope for in God will certainly come to pass. Hebrews 11:1. Christianity will be worth nothing without faith in God. Faith in God qualifies us to assess that which God Almighty has in store for us.
- Without faith, it’s impossible to please God. Faith secures God’s divine intervention over situations or issues in our lives. Faith secures appointment with God. Hebrews 11:6
- It takes faith to tap into the supernatural power of God and by this, every impossible situation becomes possible. The blind Bartimaeus took a leap of faith and God intervened and he was cured of blindness. Mark 10:52. This shows that our faith not our crying or weeping draws God divine intervention in our affairs.
- The woman with the issue of blood received instant healing by taking a leap of faith and touching the garment of our Lord Jesus Christ. Mark 5:25-34. We can receive divine healing by exercising our faith in God
- Until we believe and have faith, there shall not be performance of those things which were told from the Lord. Luke 1:45
- We must believe in God with our heart and not with our lips. Romans 10:10
- We can subdue kingdoms of darkness through our faith in God. Such men in history like Samson, Barak, Gideon, Jephthae, David, Samuel and other prophets conquered through their unflinching faith in God Almighty. Hebrews 11:32-35
- God can tear the heavens and come down just because of our believe in HIM. Isaiah 64:1

Title of message – The Power of Divine Direction
Summary – In Exodus 13, 17- end God led the children of Israel out of Egypt through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea. It was evident that God was leading them because God went before them by day in a pillar of cloud and by night a pillar of fire. The Children of Israel got to their promised land because God led them. This implies that when God is leading us, it must be evident and we must get to our promise land no matter how rough the road is or the amount of obstacle. The children of Israel did not fail to get to the promise land because God truly led them and the same applies to us today. We cannot fail in life if God truly leads us. The question is “are we willing to allow God lead us?”
When we allow God to lead us, God will move us from one level of grace to another and from one level of glory to another. God is a forward-leading God and this is evident when He told Moses to tell the children of Israel to “go forward” in Exodus 14 vs 15
Few examples of occurrences that will show God is leading us
- Our paths will be shinning brighter and brighter unto each new day – Proverbs 4 vs 18
- We will pursue, overtake and without fail recover all the enemy has stolen from us. God led David to pursue after the Amalekites and recovered all they stole from David. 1st Samuel 30 vs 8
- Any doors closed to us will open on their own accord by divine intervention, no matter how long it takes and the obstacles we face on the way. God led Joseph to Egypt where he became the prime minister. God never changes and can do same to us. Genesis 41, 41-52
- We will receive direction that will lead us forward especially when we have been in a circle for a long time. Deuteronomy 2 vs 3
- We will not lack because as the Shephard leads the flock, God will lead us and will not withhold any of His blessings from us. Psalm 23, 1 – end
- It is to our profiting that God leads us. Isaiah 48 vs 21
Pre-requisites / Conditions for God to lead us
- We must be born again Christians John 3, 1-8
- We must learn to hear and obey God’s voice. John 10. 4-5
- We must be filled with the Holy Ghost who is the principal agent of divine guidance. We must not walk in the flesh. Romans 8:14, Romans 8:16, John 16:13-14, Romans 8:4-8, 1st Corinthians 2:14, Revelations 1:10
Evidence that God is leading us
- We will have the peace of God helping us to live a pressure-free life. We will have serenity of mind. Isaiah 48:17-18, Isaiah 54:10, Psalm 85:8
