Part B
3. Because today is the child of yesterday, yesterday is the mother of today, the God who can go to your far past and turn things around can take care of whatever is happening in your life now. Why? Because his name is I am that I am.
Exodus 3:14; Psalms 46:1. He is the God of the past but he is also the God of the present. So he can go to your past, put things right so that he will be able to handle whatever that is happening in your life now that is as a result of the mistakes you made in the past. Mark 2:1-12.
I’ve told you the story of a young man who came to us, he was one of my students in those days at the University of Lagos. He had a problem that he kept on sweating like nobody’s business. As he sweated, he also smelled.
When you sit down by his side within 5 minutes you relocate because he was smelling like a dead body. Doctors have used soap, everything they could, he kept on smelling. He came and I was going to pray for him and God said, “No, don’t pray.
He has a restitution to make.” Anyway, we found out what the restitution was, he went and made the restitution, came back and I was about to pray. God said, “No, no need to pray. Just tell him not to drink ice water for 2 weeks.” That was the end of the problem.
What was troubling him, what doctors could not handle was a problem of something he did in the past.
But the One with the everlasting arms went to the past, changed situations around and all of a sudden good results came in the present.
If you want God, the One with the everlasting arms to touch your life right now after settling whatever is wrong with you in the past so that all your present problems will be over, let me hear you shout halleluyah!
4. The one with the everlasting arms can reach out to your future and bring the miracles waiting for you there to the present. In other words, there are some miracles that are supposed to happen to you may be in 10 years time.
The One with the everlasting arms will say, “Why wait? Let him begin to enjoy from tonight onwards.” Matthew 15:21-28. Jesus was telling the woman that the time for Gentiles is yet to come because the time for the Gentiles came only in Acts 10 when God sent Peter to the house of Cornelius. The woman needed help now and out of compassion the everlasting arms went to the future and brought the future to the present.
The miracles that were supposed to be available to the woman in the future she got it that day.
1 Kings 1:1-49. Solomon became King when his father was still alive. Solomon was a prince. One day he will be king but that one day will be when the father had died.
But the Everlasting Arms went to the future and said, “Boy, you don’t have to wait any longer; become King now.”
Once upon a time there was a man in a particular nation (I won’t mention names) who was a lieutenant colonel in the Army. If you’re a lieutenant Colonel in the Army, in the future you can become a Colonel and after colonel, you become Brigadier general.
After Brigadier general you become Major General to Lieutenant General to Full General. But a coup happened and the man who was a lieutenant Colonel became head of state. If you are head of state you don’t say, “Yes Sir” to anybody. So the lieutenant colonel became a General over night.
He jumped colonel, brigadier, major general, lieutenant general and became general in one day. May I decree?
– Some miracles that are supposed to become yours several years from now, receive it right now!
If you can just obey him, if you’re willing to do whatever he says without argument, as it happened in John 2:1-11, I decree one more time: every blessing that God has in store for you, begin to enjoy them from now on!
5. The text we read says, “Underneath are the everlasting arms.” It means God can make sure that you never hit the ground. One of the verses in the special song that we sang said, if I stumble and I am about to fall, underneath me are his outstretched arms.
The Elders have a saying. They said before the last tadpole in the River will die, rain will fall (I am sorry that is the best translation I can give it in English). But have you ever wondered that a River may dry completely during the dry season and you will think all the fish are dead and then rain will fall and the River begins to flow again. Before you know it, fish will begin to swim in the River. Did the fish drop from heaven?
1 Kings 17:8-16. The day the widow of Zarephath and her son were to die, help came. God is never too late.
The One with the everlasting arms will not let you reach the bottom. Before too late, help will come!
2 Kings 4:1-7. It talks about another widow of one of the sons of the prophet. The day before they came to take her sons into bondage to sell, help came.
She was able to pay off the debt, never to borrow again. I don’t know who God is talking to tonight, before it is too late the one with the everlasting arms will stretch out his arm towards you!
I’ve told you the story before: we were having convention, the crowd had come. At least what we call the crowd in those days, about 8,000 people. As usual then we said we will feed them. As the Elders will say, “When one legged man is causing trouble, he is causing it for the one who has 2 legs.”
When I asked the people to come we will feed you, I didn’t have money to do it. I was causing the trouble for my father in heaven. One morning my wife came and said, Sir, to feed the people today we need an extra 5,000 Naira. Naira was powerful in those days – God will have mercy on our Naira. You better say, Amen. Because some of you young ones cannot believe that once upon a time, one Naira is equal to at least 1.5 Dollars. Those glorious days will return!
She said we need 5,000. I said to her, “Darling, when do you need the money – today or now?” She said, what’s the difference? A lot of difference. She said, today. I said in that case, “go; when I have the money I will give you” because at the time she came I didn’t have a Kobo.
But I know there is a God in Heaven who is called the Ever present help in time of trouble. She left and I turned to him, “well, the people have come. They are your people. You can’t allow them to starve.”
It wasn’t long after that one man drove in with flowing agbada. He was not a member of the Church; he was just passing by. We were by the express way there in the first auditorium. He said, what’s going on here? I said we are having a convention. He said, what a beautiful idea. Here in this place? I said yes Sir. He said next year I will be part of it.
I am talking of today and you’re talking of next year. Then he put his hand in his pocket and brought out an envelope and said, “in the meantime…” I said, “ehen now you’re speaking.” He gave me an envelope. I prayed for him he left, I opened the envelope, 1,000 Naira. I said, Thank God! One down, 4 to go.
It wasn’t long after that for one reason or the other the youths gathered themselves together and they came led by one of our pastors and an envelope in their hand. They began to preach to me. “Daddy we appreciate you, we see all the good work you’re doing, et cetera.
You should not be the one feeding us we should …” “Hey! Give me the envelope; after that you can preach.” Finally he gave me the envelope. I prayed for them, they left. I opened the envelope, 2,000 Naira. I said, “haa! 3 down, 2 to go.”
It wasn’t long after that I sent for my wife because another 2,000 came. When she came I said, “By the way what time do you say you need the money?”
– In the name that is above every other name, before it is too late the Everlasting Arms will reach out to you!
