TOPIC: PEACE BE STILL
DATE: 29TH MARCH, 2020
BIBLE TEXT: MARK 4:35-41
Let us Pray!
SONG:
There is none Holy as the Lord
There is none beside Thee
Neither is there Any rock as our God
There is none Holy as the Lord (Holy as the Lord)
OPENING PRAYER
Almighty God we want to Bless Your Holy Name.
You are the Holy One of Israel, the Unchangeable Changer, the Lord of Host Himself, we Worship You. Please, accept our Worship, in Jesus' Name.
King of kings and Lord of lords, we are asking for Mercy: Mercy for our families, Mercy for our Nation, Mercy for the whole world; Father please, have Mercy on Jesus' Name.
Send Your Word oh Lord today; heal the sick, set the Captives free, and just put an end to this Plague.
In Jesus' Mighty Name we have Prayed - Amen!
Well, let someone shout Hallelujah - Hallelujah!
I want to Thank God for another opportunity to reach to you in your various homes.
I believe that by now, even if you didn't believe me last Sunday, you will begin to believe me now - *That the whole world is going to have a holiday.*
We could see how rapidly we have moved towards everybody STAY at home, at least for a while.
*Because God wants to prove that He is the One STILL IN CHARGE.*
As for those who are mocking, who say this thing has nothing to do with God proving Himself, keep Praying for them. Just keep on Praying for them!
Because I remembered saying to the Almighty God: Let there be people who will not believe that this has anything to do with You. If I tell them (as usual) they mock.
And the Lord said: What does that matter? You just go ahead and tell them.
And then He asked me to read Ezekiel 2:5. And I will read that to you now; before we go on to today's Word.
Ezekiel 2:5 says: "And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a Prophet among them."
So I have told you, the whole world is going to be on compulsory holiday - because God wants to prove that Jesus STILL IN CHARGE.
... And since that is already coming to Pass (as you can see) then you should believe also that you should RELAX.
I'm talking to those of you who are my children: no EVIL is going to come near you at ALL - AMEN!
And when I spoke to my Daddy about my pain, concerning ALL the people who had died and who may yet die: *He assured me that only those whose time to die has come, will die.
"Only those whose appointed time has come, will DIE."
So your own appointed time hasn't come, RELAX! Enjoy your holidays.
I'm already enjoying my own holiday, for example.
Because, but for this compulsory holidays, in the Month of April I'm supposed to be in four (4) Nations of the world - Conducting, apart from Ministers' Conference, etc, four (4) Holy Ghost Services.
But now, I'm going to be at home for a whole Month!
Can you imagine that for the whole Month of April I'm not going anywhere? - Just wake up in the morning, have a NICE MEAL and REST.
... Isn't that wonderful? (It is Daddy!)
But don't worry, I believe the problem will soon be over - Amen!
Because as soon as God has proved Himself; as soon as ALL the Nations of the world (big and small) have observed this compulsory holidays - the problem will be OVER. Amen!*
Well, in the meantime, I want to talk to you from MARK 4:35-41;
35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Again, this is one (1) of the Sermons I first (1st) pPreached several years ago, when there was FEAR in the Land.

And I Preached this Sermon on: "PEACE BE STILL!"
Since then, and of course, I have Preached several Sermons on the same Topic, from the same Text; but different Perspectives!
But in ALL the various Perspectives, there is one POINT that I have mentioned again and again - and that simply is this:
"If God is in YOUR BOAT, there is no way the Boat can SINK."
... If God is in the Boat of your life, that Boat can never, NEVER sink - Amen!
So those of you who are children of God; and have Christ dwelling in you, RELAX!
Because there is no way DARKNESS can overcome Light.
John 1:4-5 tells us that: In Jesus Christ is life and the life is the light of men and the light SHINES in darkness and darkness can’t overcome it.
There is no way DEATH can overcome the One who says I will LIVE FOREVER.
Revelation 1:18, Jesus said "I Am Alive Forever!"
If only you will allow the one who says "I am the Resurrection and the Life" to come and dwell in your life; dwell in your home: then you have nothing to fear.
You don't have to worry yourself about DEATH, because in John 11:25-26; Jesus Christ said: "I Am the Resurrection and the Life, if you believe in me even though you were dead, you will live and If you are alive you will never die."
He made ALL THINGS; and so He sets the LIMIT for EVERYTHING!
For example, in Job 38: 8-9; the Bible tells us that, He shut up the sea with doors, and tells the sea, "thus far you can come; no further!"
That is why you find the wave of the sea - coming in and going back (2ce)! When it gets to a certain LIMIT that God has already set, it MUST recede.
And so in the Text that we read; it says: "They said, what manner of man is this that even the sea and the wind obey him?"
... They have to OBEY Him because He MADE THEM, and he has put LIMITS.

So whatever storm may come, if Jesus is in your Boat, the BOAT WILL NOT SINK - Amen!
Years ago, my first visit to Abonnema (Rivers State, Southern Nigeria): at that time, the only way you can go to Abonnema (from Port Harcourt) was by sea.
... And we wanted to go and hold a Crusade.
And I gathered the Workers together at Ebute Meta (RCCG National Headquarters in Lagos Nigeria).
I said well, how many of you would go with me?
Because shortly before that time, we heard that there was a boat that capsized and so many people had died!
I said: it's not compulsory, those of you who don't want to go, just make sure the day we are leaving, you come late - so we would have gone before you arrive (laughter!)
And then one (1) brother lifted his hand, he said: you are going?
I said Yes Sir!
He said: Can I be in your Boat?
I said, you are welcome.
He said, that will be good!
I said, why are you so sure?
He said, because I know the Boat in which you are is not going to sink.
... I'm an ordinary man! How much more the One who MADE wind and the wave of the sea?
*If Jesus is in your boat, your boat can never, NEVER SINK - Amen!*
If He is in your MARRIAGE; it doesn't matter the storm that will come against the Marriage, the Marriage will stand.
WHY? - Because He is the Author of Marriage.
Genesis 2:18, He is the One who said: "It is not good that man should be alone."
I have Good News for those of you who are still trusting God for Life Partners. Just remind Him - "You said it is not good that man should be alone."
"MAN" there applies also to woman!
HE HATES LONELINESS!
Hebrews 13:5; He said: I will never leave you; I will never forsake you.
And HE HATES BARRENNESS!
So, if the storm you are having in your Marriage is Barrenness, just remind Him: I know You hate Unfruitfulness.
John 15:1-2, You said every branch in You that doesn't bear fruit You are going to tear away.
I'm a branch and You, the Vine!
Remind Him that He said in Genesis 1:28: 'Be Fruitful and Multiply.'
Tell Him, i want to be Fruitful.
And If there is a storm in your MARRIAGE; all you need to be sure is that He is already IN, before the storm comes.
... And He will take care of the situation!
In John 2:1-11; it tells us about the Wedding at Cana of Galilee.
He was there because He was INVITED. And when the crises came, He took CARE of it!
You will probably remember the Testimony of one of my daughters who said: I need help!
What is the problem?
She said 'a Strange Woman has taken away my husband. I have done everything I could do'
But my husband finally packed out of the house - he left me with four (4) children. And went to go and live with a woman who has five (5) children!
I said no problem! We will call on the One who is the Author of Marriage; and your husband will come home BEGGING.
Ah! she said, I'm not asking him to come and beg, I will beg him. Just let him come back!
... I said alright, let us wait and see.
So we Prayed a simple Prayer and said that the Almighty God will cause a problem between her husband and the Strange Woman; a quarrel nobody will be able to settle!
And that is my Prayer for ALL of you who are having problems in your Marriage:
Anyone who is trying to destroy your Marriage, my God will TAKE CARE of the situation - Amen!
It wasn't long after; that the two (2) of them quarreled - That is the husband and the Strange Woman.
And the Strange Woman said to the man: Are you sure your head is correct?
Because if your head is correct, how can you leave your four (4) children at home and come and live with a woman with five (5) children?
... And none of the five (5) is your child - None of them!
So he said, no problem! What you are saying is correct - My head must not be correct.
So he packed his bag and went back home.
He knocked at the door of my daughter; and my daughter opened the door, saw him. And he prostrated and said: Please, take me back.
... She said Aah! You don't need to beg, just come in!
Every storm in your Marriage is STILLED today, in Jesus’ Name - Amen!
What if you have problem with your BUSINESS? Suppose there is a Storm in your Business?
If God is in your Business, your Business cannot go down.
WHY? - Because in 3 John 2, He is the One who said I wish above ALL THINGS that you PROSPER.
... That is the first (1st) thing He mentioned!
*"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest Prosper and be in Health, even as thy Soul Prospereth."*
Psalms 35:27, tells us that: He has PLEASURE in the Prosperity of His Servants.
Job 36:11 says: If only you will obey and serve Him, you will spend your days in Prosperity and your years in Pleasure.
... I'm not the one who wrote that; it is the Word of God that is forever settled!
If you serve Him, He says you will spend your days in Prosperity and your years in Pleasure
So if there is a storm in your Business, remind Him that in Luke 5:1-7; that when there was a storm in the Business of Peter: when he fished all night and caught nothing - Lord You came in, and You turned the tide.
.. Come into my Business and turn the tide!
You will remembered the Story of a man who had a quarrel with his wife. And the wife (who happened to be a 'very special' one) told him that: "By the time I finished with you, you will TREK in Lagos."
And the husband laughed! - "How can I probably trek in Lagos?" Because at that time he had thirteen (13) Cars.
But he didn't know who he was dealing with!
Little by little, all the cars parked up!
Because Contracts that he had already executed, that he had been paid for, developed all kind of problems, and the Government said: "You must repay!"
When he had ONLY one (1) car left and fifty (50) Kobo in his pocket.
... Well, fifty Kobo (50k) then would probably be about fifty Naira (#50) now.
He asked himself, what do I do? If I spend this fifty Kobo (50k) to eat, I will have no money to buy petrol. Then I will TREK - like my wife Prophesied!
... If I spend the money in buying fuel, what will I eat?
That was the day he himself found his way to Ebute Meta (RCCG, National Headquarters Parish in Lagos).
And surrendered his life to Jesus Christ.
The day he was sharing his Testimony, he was dedicating two (2) New Houses at the same time!
If you call Him into your Business, your Business will never go down - Amen.
*So if your Business is going through a storm, just remember there is someone called: "The Prince of PEACE!"*
... Invite Him in, and He will TURN the TIDE.
Let us consider your HEALTH: Supposed you are having some problem with your Health?
... I'm not talking about virus - because no virus is coming near you - Amen!
Assuming that you are sick on your own now; well, remind Him that He is the One who that said: I Am the Lord that healeth thee.
Exodus 15:26, He said: If you just obey me, if you just obey the voice of the Lord your God; to observe and do all that He commands you, He said I will not bring the sickness that I brought upon the Egyptians upon you.
... He said because, I will be your Private Physician - Amen!
All He has to do is to speak a Word.
Psalms 107:20 says: He sent His Word and He heals them and delivers them from all their destruction.
And you know there is something in 1 Peter 2:24, where He said that: By His Stripes we were healed.
I told you then, I said I read one Magazine (how I wish I had kept that Magazine): where they said that all the sicknesses and diseases in the world can be categorised into thirty nine (39) Categories.
And Jesus took forty (40) Stripes; one stripe for every category of sickness and disease.
And I told you at that time, the EXTRA one stripe was waiting for sickness and disease yet to be discovered.
So there is a stripe WAITING for Coronavirus or any other virus.
It had been there all these years; any new sickness and disease that will come, God had made Provisions for it.
... So you can claim your healing by His STRIPES! - *THE DMC FAMILY CLAIMS THEIR HEALINGS IN JESUS NAME!*
And He made YOU; according to John 1:3. And so if you need Spare Parts, He can give you one!
John 9:1-7 tells us the Story of a man who was born blind; and He gave him Brand New eyes!
So even if your sickness has a Genetic Nature, or something you inherited from your parents: call on the One who MADE YOU, and ask for Spare Parts.
i don't know how many of you were there several years ago, at Row Park (Event Center in Lagos Nigeria); we had the Holy Ghost Service there.
And as I was Preaching, the Word of God came and said there is someone here, you used to have one (1) Testicle (A Male Reproductive Organ Part); but that one (1) Testicle had been destroyed. But God says He is giving you two (2) New ones (2 New Testicles)!
Then there was a young man there who began to shout; what happened?
Well, he was born with one (1) Testicle, and his parents, instead of leaving him alone with that one - let that one do the job that it could do.
They took him to an herbalist, who in an attempt to help, destroyed the only one (1) Testicle that the boy has.
Funny enough (laughs) the Boy still went ahead and got married; with the obvious result that nothing is going to come out of that Marriage.
And then, just as the Word of God came; all of a sudden he knew that something had happened!
When he came to my office (some Months later) to share his Testimony, he said: For you to know that God has done it, if you want I would show you (I will remove my pants).
I said there was no need removing it (laughter); because he came with his Pregnant wife, and the Pregnancy was Months old, and I saw the result.
And so I'm Decreeing today, that all of you who need spare parts, God will give it to you, in Jesus' Name - Amen!
What of ACADEMICS? - Supposed you have problems with your Academics?
Remember the Bible says in James 1:5 that: If anybody lacks wisdom they should ask God and He will give.
In Daniel 2:20-21; the Bible makes it clear that Power and Wisdom belongs to Him and He gives wisdom to the whosoever will ask.
And if you go through the Scriptures, you will see that He can solve difficult problems.
I mean, there was a time some people were trying to trap Him in Matthew 22:16-22;
They wanted to trap Him into saying they shouldn’t pay Taxes. And then He said: bring me the coin (and they brought the coin to Him). He said: whose inscription are these? They said Caesar!
He said: render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar and render unto God what belongs to God!
And the Bible says, those who came to tempt Him were AMAZED!
And there is another occasion in John 8:1-11; they tried to trap Him again. They caught a woman in adultery and brought her to Him and they said: Hey! It is written in the Law, if you catch a woman in adultery, you are to stone her to death. What do You say?
If He says 'don't stone her,' they will say He breaks the Law.
So He began to write on the floor, and said to them: Any of you who has no sin, let him be the one who will throw the first (1st) stone.
... And one by one their conscience convicted them; and they left!
When He lifted up His eyes, He said to the woman: 'Where are your accusers?'
She said they have gone!
And He said: well, I don't condemn you too, but go and sin no more!
So if there is a storm in your Academics, call on Him; He has a way of coming through so that the storm can be stilled.
You are already in your home, read 1 Kings 3:1-28; just after Solomon had asked for Wisdom and God had given him Wisdom; a Test came!
Two (2) harlots living together both had baby boys. One slept on her son, he died. And then she grabbed the other one's baby (while that one was sleeping) - and they were the only two (2) in the house!
There is no human way of telling who is the one telling the truth; but God came through, and Solomon said, bring me a sword;
Let us cut the baby into two (2). And give half to this one, while half to the other, and so on!
And then the mother of the Baby said: "Don't kill my baby, let her go with the baby. When the Baby grows, he will be able to know who is the mother.
... And the issue was resolved!
I have told you a funny Story before; in case some of you have not heard me tell that funny story.
Years ago, when I was in Nsukka (in the 1960s) University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
By the Grace of God, I'm fairly good in Mathematics.
And in Mathematics, it's either you know what you are asked to solve or you know nothing.
And there was this particular subject that I was very good in, and then I got to the Examination Hall. When they gave us the Questions, we were given eight (8) questions and to answer five (5).
... That was the Pattern then! I don't know the Pattern now.
I read the first one; I couldn't make head or tail out of it. I read the second, the third - by now I was sweating. I read through the entire eight (8); I could not see one I recognised.
What do I do?
In the meantime, all my mates were writing furiously. Ah! Well, in those days, if you fail, they will allow you to come and resit that Paper you failed.
So since I could not recognise anything, I felt I better go!
But as I was about to stand up, One Mighty Hand kept me sitting down.
... It is today now I know that it was the Almighty God - so I sat down!
After sitting for about fifteen (15) minutes, sitting down - everybody was writing furiously; I have not written anything!
I said, let me read this thing again! I read the first (1st) one - I know this: it is so, so formula. I read the second (2nd) one - this is so, so Equation. I read the third (3rd); I read all eight (8)!
... In the time left, I answered all eight (8).
If have you a problem in your Academics, bring in Jesus; if He is in your Boat, you cannot sink!
The conclusion of the matter is simply this: *If He is not in your Boat, when the storm comes, who are you going to call upon?*
Well, a lot of people may be mocking us now; oh! I'm not sure they are even so loud in the mocking anymore!
Those who have been mocking us when we were Fasting, when we were Praying - I am not sure that they are mocking too LOUDLY anymore!
I heard one of them the other day says: Pastor Adeboye said that if you are a child of God, nothing is going to happen to you.
Maybe he doesn't know that some of the people who had already died are Priests.
Ah! How stupid that some people can be?
Who told you that being a Priest means that you are Holy?
Have you not been hearing of Bishops who have been molesting children?
God knows those who are His!
That is what the Bible says: *The Foundation of God stands sure, God knows those who are His.*
It doesn't matter what Title you bear: if you call yourself a General Overseer; if you do not belong to Him - if you don't live according to His WILL:
When the trouble comes, He will separate between those who are serving Him TRULY and PRETENDERS.
So if you have not given your life to Jesus Christ, before it is too late, you better run and surrender your life to Him NOW.
Oh! I know that there are some very intelligent people; Intellectuals who will be saying: Oh, there is Scientific Explanation to this thing; you know, some Biological Warfare Weapon that some Nations were preparing, escaped by accident.
That's alright!
It is written in Proverbs 1:24-27; the Almighty God said: *Because you would not listen to Me; because you would not take my Counsel; because you are laughing at my commandments - He said: I too will laugh when your FEAR comes!*
That time is coming, when with ALL your Education; when you begin to tremble in fear. He said: "I will LAUGH."
ALTAR CALL
So come forward if you want to surrender your life to Jesus Christ.
Do so NOW, before it is too late!
And even there in your home, you can bow your head and cry to the Almighty God and ask Him to Please, save your soul and bring you into His Family;
*... It is only in the Family of God that there is Security in the time of storm.*
Shall we pray?
*PRAYER FOR SALVATION*
My Father and my God, I want to Bless Your Holy Name for Your Word.
I want to Thank You for Technology that allowed me to reach into the homes of Your children at a time like this.
And I'm asking Lord God Almighty, that all those who would surrender their lives to you at this moment, please, receive them; have Mercy on them, and let Your Blood wash away their sins. Receive them into the Family of God and give them a Brand New Beginning
*Please Lord, in EVERY Home of Your children, LET THERE BE PEACE!*
In Jesus' Mighty Name we have Prayed - Amen!
Praise the LORD - HALLELUJAH!!!
*SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE FORTHCOMING RCCG PROGRAMS*
