January 5th 2020 Sermon notes

Speaker: Apostle Dr Lucille Baird
“LED AND FED BY THE OUTSTRETCHED HAND OF GOD, UNDER AN OPEN HEAVEN.”

He has led us and fed us for 25 years.

Expect a downpour no more drizzling . Not just gas for the car now a new car

Remember when He blessed you with the rent money that was a drizzle now He wants to give you your own house, that’s a downpour Believe God for the downpour, your weather pattern has changed. Showers are over you are going to get soaked, wet to the skin with blessings, success, goodness and mercy, joy and happiness.

I’m thankful and excited for what He is going to do this month.

Isaiah say the cloud as small as a man’s hand and heard the sound of abundant rain.

Text: Exodus - 13:3, 6-10,15-18 New International Version (NIV)
3 Then Moses said to the people, “Commemorate this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery, because the Lord brought you out of it with a mighty hand. Eat nothing containing yeast.

We will remember 2020 as the year that God will destroy the Egyptians that have been harassing you.

We are marked by the Blood of Jesus.

When Esther approached the king, she could have been killed but the king said ask what you wish. The king offered Esther at least half his kingdom but we are offered to be joint heirs in Christ Jesus. Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.

Psalm 23:5
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

His hands are open and outstretched and anything is possible with our God.

1. BE PREPARED TO EXIT FROM YOUR PRESENT. 1. God hears your cries – Exodus 3:7 New International Version (NIV)
7 The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering.

God will deliver you out is your Egypt to lead you and feed you.

The same God who hears their cries will hear your cries. Because our God is a might God.

In 2020 despite the things you have gone through you are still standing. What meant to kill you strengthen you.

Stand still and see the Salvation He will give to you.

2.Your Exodus; Stage one - Exodus 3:8 New International Version (NIV)
8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.

This is the year of caviar and champagne!!

God has heard your cry and he will lead you and feed you and yes there will be much resistance.

3.Leaving the past behind - Exodus 3:10 New International Version (NIV)
10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

Deuteronomy 26:8 New International Version (NIV)
So the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror and with signs and wonders.

Exodus – 13:18 New International Version (NIV)
So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea. The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle.

Stop being afraid. Your enemy will not win over you.

Suddenly things will change. Because God is fighting for you.

Get prepared for your blessings. Get expectant. Get excited.

I would rather have favour with God than favour with man.

God is leaving but you have to leave your Egypt behind.

It’s not time to grumble

Exodus 15:1- 13
The Song of Moses and Miriam
15 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:
“I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea.
2 “The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.
He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
3 The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name.
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his army he has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh’s officers are drowned in the Red Sea. 5 The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone.
6 Your right hand, Lord, was majestic in power.
Your right hand, Lord, shattered the enemy.

His hands not only feeds and leads but shatters your enemy

“In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble.
8 By the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up.
The surging waters stood up like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy boasted, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword and my hand will destroy them.’
10 But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who among the gods is like you, Lord?
Who is like you— majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?
12 “You stretch out your right hand, and the earth swallows your enemies.
13 In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed.
In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.

He leads us into a place of peace and refuge.
