THE OIL OF GLADNESS

THE OIL OF GLADNESS


TEXT: Psalm 45:6-8

INTRODUCTION
If you derive your joy and happiness from earthly things, then you will forever be miserable. If Job relied on earthly things as his source of Joy, he would have committed suicide when his own wife told him –Job 2:9 – “Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. Job 2:10- But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.”


OUTLINE 1: STOP MURMURING
Show me those who murmur and I will show you those who displease God. Murmuring does not help but kills you. Exodus 12:1-12. In 1 Samuel 30:1-9, David and his soldiers returned to their home at Ziglag and found out that the Amalikates had invaded their homes and taken their wives and children captive, David did not seat down to say God why me, what have I done to deserve this, the bible said – David inquired of the LORD what to do ( I Samuel 30:7-10). Be like David, instead of murmuring, ask God what to do and do it. Psalm 86:7

OUTLINE 2: OIL OF GLADNESS THROUGH PRAISE
Psalm 45:7 – “Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”

Those anointed with the Oil of gladness are addicted to praise. They simile in the midst of great difficulty:

David: He was one man that went through a lot in life, but you will never see complain because he addicted to praise. David never praised God or did anything for God because of what to expected, he just loved and praised him for who He is – Psalm 42:1 – “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?  No wonder he danced before God anyhow and never gave regards to whether he is a King or not.

Stephen: Acts 7:59- And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [God,] and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. {7:60} And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Jesus: Jesus carried the Oil of gladness all through. With nails in his hands and legs and pains he said – father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.

Conclusion: In this world ye shall have tribulations, but be of good cheers because I have overcome. (Story of a family that lost all four children (Boys) in collapsed building last week in Lagos). Pray for God to anoint them with the Oil of gladness to overcome.

Sheep’s Clothing!

By Date -
Sheep’s Clothing! Matthew 7:14 – Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. It is no more a news that there are many false prophets in this world. They have been even since the Bible days. Elymas in Acts 13:8 was a false prophet that tried to pervert the heart of the people from God. That is the work of these false prophets. They are workers of the devil and nothing about their life is God’s; from the outside they look like God’s prophets and messengers but they are recruiting souls for the devil. They use magic, human wisdom, human strategies to do their work. Consider again, Balaam to an extent I will consider him as a false prophet because he tried to curse the blessed of God and to stop the will of God for His children. Though Balaam hears from God but he wasn’t doing things according to God’s plan and agenda. He planned to even make God’s children fall. Please read Revelation 2:14 and Jude 1:11. Those in sheep’s c

Ceaseless Celebration Leviticus 26:6 – And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land Ezekiel 32:1-10; 34:25-31, Esther 9:1-22, Jeremiah 52:31-34 With Joy, I welcome you all into this month. In this month, we will record ceaseless celebration on every side. This is as a result of what God has done for us and what He is doing as well. He has given us peace and rest on every side. He has incapacitated the enemies of our lives. This is indeed wonderful. In this last month of 2017, the magnitude of God’s judgement on the enemies of your life will render them missing on Earth and you will be celebrated.

Grace for Exceeding Multiplication

By Date -
Grace for Exceeding Multiplication Genesis 17:1-2, 2 Corinthians 8:9 [2] And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. Grace is God's Riches At Christ Expense. It is the almightiness of God invading the hopelessness of human. It is a commander of attention. It reduces sweat and increases accomplishments, Psalm 89:20. Exceeding means to be very great and to surpass others. To set a new record. Multiplication is to increase greatly in number, not step by step as in addition. PREREQUISITE 1 - OBEDIENCE - Leviticus 25:18 You can't increase when you are unfaithful in your tithing obligation and others. 2 - REMEMBER THOSE THAT HAVE RULE OVER YOU - Hebrews 13:7. The blessing is given by GRACE and the blessing can be multiplied by GRACE, 2 Corinthians 8:1-4, Acts 4:32-35. PRAYERS May Divine grace for expansion be released upon us - Amen. ________________ A sermon by Apostle Samuel Idedevwo of Christ's Chosen Church of God
