TEXT: READ: DANIEL 11:32
Those that have an intimate relationship and have a working knowledge of the word of God are always mightily used of God. They are so used because they are great people of resolved faith in God.
They always enjoy the following like the great prophet Daniel did:
1) You become stronger in God
2) You will do great exploits
3) Your expectations will be met
4) God’s knowledge brings great understanding and makes you wise
5) God’s knowledge gives you access to God’s free gift
6) Knowledge gives freedom
7) You will know the enemies secrets
8) Knowledge will give you riches and treasures
9) You will enjoy all God’s promises
10) It enables you to trust God
11) You will recover when struck down
12) You will truly worship Him
N.B
This was a teaching in one of the plenary sessions during the 2008 Holy Ghost Congress at the R.C.C.G. Redemption Camp, Ogun State, Nigeria.
REDEEMED PEOPLE: OPERATION Proclaim! What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs - JESUS CHRIST (Mathew 10:27).

FROM OBSCURITY TO PROMINENCE (LIMELIGHT)
TEXT:READ:MATHEW 6:30-33
INTRODUCTION
I will like to define the phrase ‘seek ye first His kingdom and His righteousness’ as the pursuit of the kingdom and righteousness purposes by bringing it or elevating it to an enviable pedestal (platform, podium, position).
WHAT IS HIS KINGDOM?
(John 1:14a, 12)
His kingdom is the following:
1. His territory
2. His entity
3. His protectorate
4. His dominion
5. His ideals/His will over His given space
6. Faith principles and its applications
THE TRUE SENSE OF ‘SEEK YOU FIRST HIS KINGDOM’
(Psalm 68:11, Isaiah 52:7)
Seek you first His kingdom is:
1. Belonging to His kingdom(e.g. being Born Again)
2. Pursuing His kingdom(e.g. being passionate, with all of your heart)
3. Propagating His kingdom(preach, teach, exhort, counsel)
4. Popularizing His kingdom(write about, talk about on TV/radio, papers, your lifestyle etc)
5. Establishing His kingdom(enduring institutions, lasting structures e.g. Holy Ghost Services, Congresses, SOD,RCBC,RUN etc)
POWERFUL EXAMPLES
(1 Corinthians 16:9a)
Let’s take 2 examples from the home front as a case study to see how these people sought God’s kingdom and righteousness and see how far God has taken them and draw inspiration from them.
1.) Pastor E.A Adeboye, 2.) Bishop David Oyedepo
The truth is that there are ingenious ways of doing God’s work. Like the maxim says 'there are a thousand ways to kill a rat'.
These resources come into play (ideas/inspiration) (money, material/people), they all come from God.
THERE IS A PROMISE TO BE KEPT
The reward of ‘seek you first His kingdom and His righteousness’ is a promise from God as found in Mathew 6:30-32, surely to be fulfilled in the life of those who TRULY (with emphasis) seek. God is not a liar and owes no man.
THE PROBLEM IS:
The challenge is that we are satisfied at the level of Just belonging to His kingdom (that is Born Again only).There (at that level) we remain complacent, lazy, indolent and unfortunately beggarly, trading monumental victory and achievements for a ‘pot of porridge’.
CONCLUSION
Remember this! If you forget anything not this: God is no liar and He owes no man. Keep loading your cloud and at His appointed time your rain will fall in great torrents.
