VICTORY CELEBRATION

HOW CAN WE HAVEA GREAT GROWTH

AND MULTIPLICATION FOR THE

YEAR 2015?

GENESIS 28:3

“May God Almighty bless you, and make you

fruitful and multiply you, that you may be an

assembly of people. ”

1. You must have the same PASSION as our

Lord Jesus Christ’s.

PASSION FOR THE LOST SOUL

MATTHEW 9:36-38

36 When He saw the crowds, He had compassion on

them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a

shepherd.

MATTHEW 9:36-38

37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers

are few.

MATTHEW 9:36-38

38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send

out workers into His harvest field.”

We must visualize, agonize and evangelize.

PASSION FOR EVANGELISM

PASSIONATEHEART

GENESIS 28:1-2

1 So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. Then he commanded him: “Do not marry a

Canaanite woman.

GENESIS 28:1-22 Go at once to Paddan

Aram, to the house of your mother’s father

Bethuel. Take a wife for yourself there, from

among the daughters of Laban, your mother’s

brother.

GENESIS 22:1-19

1 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said

to him, “Abraham!”

“Here I am,” he replied.

GENESIS 22:1-19

2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go

to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there

as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”

GENESIS 22:1-193 Early the next

morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his

servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough

wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God

had told him about.

GENESIS 22:1-19

4 On the third day Abraham looked up and

saw the place in the distance.

GENESIS 22:1-19

5 He said to his servants, “Stay here with the

donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will

come back to you.”

GENESIS 22:1-19

6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the

two of them went on together,

GENESIS 22:1-197 Isaac spoke up and said to

his father Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?”

Abraham replied. “The fire and wood are here,” Isaac

said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt

offering?”

GENESIS 22:1-19

8 Abraham answered, “God Himself will

provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.”

And the two of them went on together.

GENESIS 22:1-19

9 When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged

the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the

wood.

GENESIS 22:1-19

10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

GENESIS 22:1-19

11 But the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham!

Abraham!”

“Here I am,” he replied.

GENESIS 22:1-19

12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now

I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me

your son, your only son.”

GENESIS 22:1-1913 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a

ram caught by its horns. He went over and

took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt

offering instead of his son.

GENESIS 22:1-19

14 So Abraham called that place THE LORD WILL

PROVIDE. And to this day it is said, “On the

mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”

GENESIS 22:1-19

15 The angel of the LORD called to

Abraham from heaven a second time

GENESIS 22:1-19

16 and said, “I swear by Myself, declares the LORD,

that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your

only son,

GENESIS 22:1-1917 I will surely bless you and

make your descendants as numerous as the stars in

the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your

descendants will take possession of the cities of

their enemies,

GENESIS 22:1-19

18 and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed,

because you have obeyed Me.”

GENESIS 22:1-19

19 Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they

set off together for Beersheba. And Abraham

stayed in Beersheba.

God’s will in our lives must be our will for

our lives, too.

2. PRAYER must be your lifestyle.

3. Desire the PRESENCEof God everyday of

your life.

GENESIS 28:16

16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely

the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware

of it.”

EXODUS 33:15

15 Then Moses said to Him, “If your

Presence does not go with us, do not send us

up from here.”

When the Lord's presence is in our midst, no one can harm us. Without

Him, we're helpless; reduced to nothing.

EXODUS 33:14

14 The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with

you, and I will give

you rest.”

The same is true for every individual Christian. If you have Jesus' presence in your life, you will experience God's divine order. You'll have peace and calmness, with no fretting or anxiety, no running to and fro to seek guidance, no sense that the bottom is falling out. You'll live at rest, knowing God has everything under control!

God's presence was so evident in Abraham's life, even the heathen around him recognized the difference between their lives and his.

GENESIS 21:22

22 At that time Abimelek and Phicol the

commander of his forces said to Abraham,

“God is with you in everything you do.”

God promised Joshua

that no enemy could stand against him when God's presence was with him.

JOSHUA 1:5-6

5 No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never

leave you nor forsake you.

God told Gideon:

"... The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour... Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel ..."

JUDGES 6:12, 14

12 When the angel of the LORD appeared to

Gideon, he said, “The LORD is with

you, mighty warrior.”

JUDGES 6:12, 14

14 The LORD turned to him and said, “Go in the

strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s

hand. Am I not sending you?”

God warned Jeremiah that the whole nation would turn against him and reject his prophecies. Yet God promised, "... they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee..."

JEREMIAH 15:2020 I will make you a wall to

this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will

fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am

with you to rescue and save you,” declares

the LORD.

God told Isaiah of a special promise He makes to those He loves: "Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passestthrough the waters, I will be with thee;

and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the Lord thy God ... and I have loved thee ... Fear not: for I am with thee ..."

ISAIAH 43:15

15 I am the LORD,your Holy One,Israel’s Creator,

your King.”

Seek Him with all your heart, and desire His presence in your daily life. Then you will know and experience the incredible glory of God!

Five Aspects of What Became of

JESUS

EPHESIANS 1:17-22

17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus

Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the

Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better.

EPHESIANS 1:17-2218 I pray that the eyes of

your heart may be enlightened in order that

you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious

inheritance in His holy people,

EPHESIANS 1:17-22

19 and His incomparably great power for us who

believe. That power is the same as the mighty

strength

EPHESIANS 1:17-22

20 He exerted when He raised Christ from the

dead and seated Him at His right hand in the

heavenly realms,

EPHESIANS 1:17-22

21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every

name that is invoked, not only in the present age but

also in the one to come.

EPHESIANS 1:17-22

22 And God placed all things under His feet and

appointed Him to be head over everything for

the church.

Five ways to measure the

greatness of God’s power now toward

those who believe:

1. God raised JESUS and broke

the power of death.

EPHESIANS 1:20

20 He exerted when He raised Christ from the

dead and seated Him at His right hand in the

heavenly realms,

1 CORINTHIANS 15:54-57

54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable,

and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying

that is written:

1 CORINTHIANS 15:54-57

Death is swallowed up in victory.”

55 “O death, where is your victory?

O death, where is your sting?”

1 CORINTHIANS 15:54-57

56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is

the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the

victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2. God seated JESUS at His right

hand—and us with Him.

EPHESIANS 1:20

20 He exerted when He raised Christ from the

dead and seated Him at His right hand in the

heavenly realms,

3. God set JESUS over all demonic

powers.

EPHESIANS 1:21

21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every

name that is invoked, not only in the present age but

also in the one to come.

4. God gave JESUS as head

over all things to the church.

EPHESIANS 1:22

22 And God placed all things under His feet and

appointed Him to be head over everything for

the church.

5. WHERE GODRULES,

WE WILL RULE.

EPHESIANS 1:23

23 which is His body,the fullness of Him

who fills everything in every way.

Tonight, as we close this 7 days of worship, I declare,

decree, confess, pray and seal with the Blood of Jesus Christ

and the Power of the Holy Spirit that this year will be the

Year of Growth and Multiplication for all of us in

FCC Family.

This is our best year ever!

This is our year of increase! This is the year of fulfillment of our dreams and visions!

You can experience things that you haven’t seen or even imagined that God has planned for you, your family, your finances, your work, your business, your relationship, your love life, and for your health.
