Festival of Life - MY CUP RUNNETH OVER

Hello Everyone, how are you enjoying your Easter Weekend ? 
Hope your not just thinking of the materialistic things ... AHEM (Easter Eggs) But are actually understanding the true meaning behind Easter ! Easter is the oldest Christian holiday and probably the most important day of the Church year. Yesterday (Good Friday) was the day our Lord Jesus was crucified on the cross. You can read the full story of his death in John 19 : 16-30. Although it was yearsss ago, the death of Jesus is the reason why we live in Christ today and in the Lord. Through his death we were cleansed of our inequities and made whole. Yes, at the time of his crucifiction there were tears and sorrow. But Now we can rejoice because we know .. 3 days later he rose from the dead ! How great is our Lord Jesus Christ ? I'll answer that for you .. very GREAT ^.^ 

Yesterday I was blessed and privileged to go to the RCCG Festival of Live, London Holy Ghost Service, with my GFS girls (God Fearing Sisters) Lool, its a pretty cool name right ? It is a yearly night vigil church event which happens in London, and I am telling you, YOU NEED TO BE AT THE NEXT ONE ! RCCG stands for the Redeemed Christian Church Of God. To see thousands rejoicing in a God that you serve and to part of it .. is just an overwhelming feeling. I don't want to speak to much about it because there's so much to say, so if you DO want to read more about it then google RCCG and everything will be there ... I MEAN EVERYTHING, and may you be blessed as you do this. 

So, yesterday's FOL's theme was titled "My Cup Runneth Over". Now don't think of that LITERALLY as a cup running over because to much drink was put into it. But see yourself AS that cup, and God Pouring in blessings, testimonies, success, joy, happiness, peace, fruitfulness and many more glorious things into YOU.  
Our father in the Lord , Pastor E.A. Adeboye, gave a sermon. And for as many of you who wasn't there .. I want to briefly share with you what he said, I don't want ANYONE missing out on yesterdays Blessings!  Pastor shared with us many scriptures. He said that God gives us things to richly enjoy. In Psalm 23:5, it says "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows"

What Is On The Table ? 
1) SALVATION - 1 John 1:7
2) HEALING - 1 Pet 2:24
3) FREEDOM - John 8:32 , 36 and John 14:6
4) VICTORY - Revelation 12:11
5) FRUITFULNESS - John 15:5
6) JOY - John 16:25 
7) SUCCESS - Phillipians 4:13, 19 and John 14:14

What To Do So Your Cup Runs Over.
Exodus 15:26 - "If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you."

Deuteronomy 28:1 - "If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth."

Read from verse 1 - 13 of Deuteronomy 28, verse 13 (one of my favourite in the bible) says- "The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom."

I pray that the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, your future shall be great, he will guide you in all decisions you will make in life and will guide your footsteps. In Jesus Name. Amen !

Pastor also emphasised the importance of praising God WHOLE heartedly and not just HALF heartedly. Praising God should not be lukewarm. We should praise him with all our hearts, you can't be in Christ and still living in sin. You can't praise God with one leg in and one leg out. It's either you are FOR God or AGAINST him. 

Psalm 9:1 says -  I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
Psalm 86:12 says -  I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.

Psalm 119:2 says  - Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

Psalm 119:34  says - Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Next I will be going on to the 10 prayer points made at FOL. Read them carefully and pray towards them that each and every one of them will not only work for you, but for your household and all of your loved ones. 

1) Praise God that you are alive

2) Father, I come to the table you've prepared for me, feed me till I want no more.

3) Father, feed me with overflowing health, victory, success and peace.

4) Father, I lift up the cup of my life to you, fill it to be overflowing with joy.

5) Father, please settle the issue of my enemies your own way.

6) Father, please anoint me with fresh oil tonight.

7) Father, please let me flourish so that I can lend to nations.

8) Father, let my blessings overflow to millions of others.

9) Father, make me an agent of revival in this generation.

10) Father, put a new song in my mouth tonight. 

FOL was amazeballlsssssssss ! 

I hope you were blessed by reading this, God works miracles and wonders in lives and it would be even more of a blessing for you to be part of his WONDERFUL works ! I would encourage you to make yourself available to the next FOL, which will be in the late months of 2014 (DW I got you ! I will keep you informed closer to time). 

Hope you continue to enjoy your Easter Weekend and next post will be out tomorrow, EASTER SUNDAY .. TURN UP !
