THE DAY HAS
BROKEN UPON US Psalm 110:1-7 (KJV)
- The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
- The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
- Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
- The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
- The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
- He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
- He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
God of creation/Genesis 1:1-5
•
In the
beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
•
And the
earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And
the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
•
And God
said, Let there be light: and there was light.
•
And God
saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
•
And God
called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the
morning were the first day.
God’s mandate to man @ creation/Gen 1:28
•
And God
blessed them, and God said unto them,
•
Be fruitful,
and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have
dominion
•
over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth.
Our Lord confirms
God’s mandate for fruitfulness/John 15: 1-5
•
“I am the true
vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
•
Every
branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears
fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
•
You are
already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
•
Abide
in Me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine,
neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
RODS=LIGHT=FRUITS=DISCIPLES
•
When the
rods are sent out what are they to do?
•
When the
light shines forth, what is it to do?
•
What are
the fruits that the Lord is looking for?
•
When He
say multiply this kind of life in Genesis, what does that mean?
•
God means
reproduce disciples after your own kind, that is, after the Christ living
inside of you.
•
Pick them
one by one and sit upon them; as I bless these fruits, they will multiply
exponentially and revival will burst forth.
•
Revival is
the result of God blessing the fruits of disciples as they receive, one life at
a time, and sit on them until Christ life burst forth in them.
Exponential multiplication of
disciples = Revival
•
12, 70,
120, 3000, 5000, multitudes.
•
Very unusual,
steady, rapid rate of growth of disciples.
•
This is
God blessing the fruit bearing efforts of His disciples.
•
That is
what we call a revival.
•
Disciples
multiplying at a rate that can only be by the hand of God.
•
It only
happens as God blesses the fruits that His disciples are making.
•
If we
don’t start bearing fruits , there will be nothing for God to bless
exponentially.
•
If we
don’t start pouring what we have received into other lives our cry will be in vain.
God’s pattern for revival
•
God’s
mandate is still the same.
•
I will
send my rods as light out of Zion to rule in the midst of my enemies.
•
How? By bearing
fruits; by their sitting on lives and making disciples of every nation under
the heavens.
•
As I
multiply their fruits in every aspect of human life, then revival will burst
forth.
•
He has
given us enough provision for fruit bearing.
Provisions
for fruitfulness and revival
•
He is the
vine and He is the vinedresser. He took away our old man and gave us His own
life flowing through us. His life will automatically bear fruit inside
of me.
•
His
word prunes us so we can bear
much fruit by using the same word He has sent to us to affect and build other
lifes.
•
His
abiding presence, when we
abide with Him, He abides with us. We should not be afraid of their faces.
Prayer Points
Galatians 4:19 - My
little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in
you,
Proverbs 30:15&16
- The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three
things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough: The
grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the
fire that saith not, It is enough.
•
Oh Lord! Multiply
disciples.

disciples Lord, please cause an exponential growth of fruits.

Lord,
break down every barrier in the hearts of men which have hitherto prevented us
access into their lives.

Deliver me
from this barrenness of life, oh Lord!

Let me see
the barrenness in my life as you see it - untenable, unacceptable, intolerable,
inexcusable, in defensible before You.
•

that bearing fruits is what will usher in the revival I have been crying for.
•
Put in me
an insatiable desire for fruits; for disciples to raise for you.

Put inside
my heart a deep longing for raising fruits/disciples for my Master.

Let disciple-making
now be the consuming passion of my life as we cry, “Give me Europe”, “Nigeria, occupy
till I come” , “Youth ablaze”, “Women in travail” on this Monday platform.
•
Ask the
Lord deliberately now for a life to pour into. Give me a life, one life at a
time, oh Lord!

your children/ grandchildren; tell the Lord, “Please give me my children as the
1st fruits of the life of Jesus which I carry now; give them to me, Lord,
as my disciple.”
•
Ask for
other family members by name.
•
Ask for
neighbours by name.
•
Ask for
colleagues at work by name.
•
Lord,
please give me a life; Lord, send me one person to raise for You as a disciple.
Silent
Prayers

Make a
list now of these ones that you will present before the Lord day and night
until Christ be formed in them.

•
Don’t make
a long list and start with one or two out of your list of names.

siblings, a close friend, one or two colleagues or neighbours as the Lord
directs, let us place them before the Lord.
•
