THE OVERFLOW HAS COME

30th December 2012

Beloved,

FOCUS: When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.   Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them (Psalms 126:1).

Your season of overflow has come. In 2013, there shall be overflow for those who follow God. There shall be abundance, health and favor. This is because God is involved.  For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them (Psalms 44:3). The mighty God will display his awesome power on you and yours in the name of Jesus Christ, because unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall (Malachi 4:2). There is healing for you; healing for your body; healing for your finance; healing for our family; healing for your carrier. In the name of Jesus Christ, there is healing in every aspect of your life. Friend, do you believe this? Your season of overflow has come as your floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil (Joel 2:24).  Yea, The LORD God of your fathers shall make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you (Deuteronomy1:11), In the name of Jesus Christ., Amen!

The overflow has come and it is for the people of God. It is for Zion. The time to favor Zion has come (Psalms 102:13). It is not for visitors; those that regard God as a filling station. It is for those that dwell continually in the presence of God. This was why David vowed to dwell in the presence of God all the days of his life (Psalms 23:6). He recognized God more than he did the enemy, and therefore he had regular banquet despite the enemy. Yea, the cup continually overflowed with goodness even if others did not like it. Friend in 2013, this shall be your portion. Your entire life shall reflect that the presence of the enemy does not matter. You shall overflow on every side in the name of Jesus Christ. But you’ll need to dwell with God no matter the distractions.

Last week we were told that that in preparation for the overflow, we need to enlarge our coast by first getting the appropriate word-seed and secondly dwell in the reality of our expectation by seeing ourselves in our expected position. We shall discuss two other important responsibilities: spiritual sensitivity and obedience to the nudging of the Holy Spirit.

The expected overflow will not be for those who would rather get offended at the smallest things than to be quite to hear from God. Moses told God, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence(Exodus 33:15). In the new covenant, the Comforter had been sentthat he may abide with you forever (John 14:16). How much do we tune in to Him who is abiding in us? God is speaking continually. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge(Psalms 19:2).  We need to, Take heed, be quiet and fear not to hear God (Isaiah 7:4). This means re-ordering our priorities and dropping unnecessary anxieties. Jesus told Martha that only one thing is needful, and that is the presence of God to hear his Word (Luke10:45). Mary sat at the feet of Jesus and heard his words while Martha was bothered by so many things. Recognizing this one important thing is crucial because that is the genesis of every other thing.  Friend, the part of life is in the presence of God where there is fullness of joy and everlasting pleasures (Psalms 16:11).  Hallelujah! This is the overflow.

Jacob was cheated several times by Laban until God gave him an instruction through a dream. To consciously reap the reward, Jacob had to obey God (Genesis 31:6-13). And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted(Genesis 30:37-39). He had to obey that specific instruction. To get the money from the fish, Peter had to take the first fish, not the second or the third (Matthew 17:27). There was famine in the land and Isaac wanted to do like others until God called him out: Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of (Genesis 26:2). Despite the famine, Isaac had a hundred fold return because he obeyed God (Genesis 26:12).  You and I need to obey the specific instructions God shall be giving us to take delivery of the overflow.

You need to receive this. The overflow is here. To take delivery of the overflow, you need to be presence of God conscious and sensitive, and when God gives you an instruction, obey it no matter how foolish it sounds.

Welcome to your overflow

Shalom
