GOD, REPLACE MY EVIL YEARS WITH GOOD

sermon 6. GOD, REPLACE MY EVIL YEARS WITH GOOD

A Sermon preached on 28th January, 2018.
"Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery; replace the evil years with good"--- Psalm 90:15 NLT

Moses uttered this prayer having remembered the forty years of exile in Egypt. He knew that God's children had suffered greatly, and had been afflicted severely under the yoke of enslavement. And now is a time of plea, making petitions to God, Lord, make us glad because we have been in Egypt for forty years living a life full of misery, a life that is not comfortable to us, a life of pains and grief, a life we get drowned in tears for many years. But this time, we ask you to replace all our evil years with good.

Note: Your evil years shall be replaced with good, death with life, replacing poverty with riches, failure with success, infertility with fertility, sickness with good health.

Job 42:10 gives us a clear picture of the sermon. For many years that Job had been in misery. He was struck with disease, his property was destroyed and his children were gravely killed by a mighty windstorm caused by Satan. As job began to pray for his friends who sinned against God, his fortune was restored to him. I say to you that God's restoration is locating you this year. The evil years you have been living are replaced with good. Rise up, and put your faith in action. Trust in God, he will deliver you from such evil years of unproductive life for the days of your mourning have come to an end, (see Isaiah 60:20).

God bless you!

YOUR KING IS COMING

YOUR KING IS COMING A sermon preached on the Palm Sunday !4 th /04/2019 @ A.C.F.M. Umudi Igbodo Etche Rivers State of Nigeria by Fortune Nwaiwu Mat 21:5 KJV: Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. We are here today to celebrate and to remember a certain day our Lord Jesus Christ rode on a donkey’s colt to Jerusalem. It was a day of his triumphant entry to his church. I have a story to tell you. There was a very poor man walking in a street. His name was James. As he’s walking a man tapped on his shoulder and said, “James, you are a king’. James looked at himself and then retorted: “How can I be a king when I have no kingdom to rule? And how will I acquire the kingdom when my family is poor? Please do not tease me or less my mind explode with false hope. For you to be a king, there must be a kingdom to rule. There must be riches before you become a rich man, and you must have amas...

LOOK UP TO JESUS

sermon 11. Look up to jesus “So Moses made a snake out of bronze and attached it to a pole. Then anyone who was bitten by a snake could look at the bronze snake and be healed!”─ Numbers 21:9. NLT. Jesus Christ is the only way for salvation. If we could look up to him, we shall live. The story about the Israelites wandering in the wilderness after the death of Aaron reveals man’s lack of gratitude to God. We see that Israelites complained of their tedious long journey to the Promised Land. They grew impatient and then tried to rebel against Moses and God. They no longer appreciate the manna─ the food that God provided for them, instead, they needed the food of the Egyptians. This is an inherent nature of man. People do not appreciate what is given to them. The Manna which God provided for them as food, was then considered horrible. In this case, they despised the miracle of God for bringing such food for them, and stopped looking for God for help. Instead, they needed to be slave and...
