BECOME THE FIRST PARTAKER OF MIRACLE: SUNDAY OUTLINE  (BRO. EMMA OKORIE)             23RD JULY, 2023

TOPIC: BECOME THE FIRST PARTAKER OF MIRACLE

Until we have first tasted that the Lord is gracious, we cannot boldly minister the miracles/power of God.

2 Tim 2:6-7(KJV) The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

2 Tim 2:6-7(NLT)6 And hardworking farmers should be the first to enjoy the fruit of their labor. 7 Think about what I am saying. The Lord will help you understand all these things.

Ministering is powerful only when we become what we preach. Matt 9:27-30(MSG)” 28 When Jesus got home, the blind men went in with him. Jesus said to them, “Do you really believe I can do this?” They said, “Why, yes, Master!” 29 He touched their eyes and said, “Become what you believe.” 30 It happened.

We model Christ by example.  ‘What I see my father do, same I do.’ John 5:19-21(NLT)19 So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing. In fact, the Father will show him how to do even greater works than healing this man. Then you will truly be astonished. 21 For just as the Father gives life to those he raises from the dead, so the Son gives life to anyone he wants.

John 8:37-39(NLT) 38 I am telling you what I saw when I was with my Father. But you are following the advice of your father.” 39 “Our father is Abraham!” they declared.

Practical Christianity without hypocrisy should be the aim of every Christian.

When you talk the talk, you must work the talk.  You have not arrived until you have made practical experiences your goal.

2 Tim 1:6(NIV)6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

You have the right to enjoy what you minister.

We minister out of overflow – John 7:38(KJV)38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

When the minister has become a weakling and a bundle of complain, what would he minister to his hearers

The problem is, we don’t partake in what we preach – 1 Cor 9:23(KJV).23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

My determination is to be a partaker of  His glory – 1 Peter 5:1(KJV)The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

Jesus disciples experienced Him firsthand – 1 John 1:1(KJV)That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

God will make me a partaker of these glorious and sweet messages I bring across to  His people – 1 Cor 9:8-12(TLB)8 And I’m not merely quoting the opinions of men as to what is right. I’m telling you what God’s law says. 9 For in the law God gave to Moses he said that you must not put a muzzle on an ox to keep it from eating when it is treading out the wheat. Do you suppose God was thinking only about oxen when he said this? 10 Wasn’t he also thinking about us? Of course he was. He said this to show us that Christian workers should be paid by those they help. Those who do the plowing and threshing should expect some share of the harvest. 11 We have planted good spiritual seed in your souls. Is it too much to ask, in return, for mere food and clothing?

This partaker of supernatural miracles of life of God is a covenant right.

Luke 13:10-17(NkJV)10 Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. 12 But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.”  13 And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 14 But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd,”There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day.” 15 The Lord then answered him and said,  “Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?  16 So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound — think of it — for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?”  17 And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.

You have to covet and possess the promises of the covenant as  sons and daughters of Abraham.

Isa 45:11(KJV)11 Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

Many people are desirous to bring the supernatural into their daily experiences.

Yes, you can achieve the promises of God.

Ex 15:26(KJV)26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.

Deut 7:12-15(KJV) 12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.15 And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.

Deut 8:4-5(NLT)4 For all these forty years your clothes didn’t wear out, and your feet didn’t blister or swell.

The supernatural is the expectation of every unbeliever from a believer.

Luke 4:23(KJV)23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.

You must be sure of your salvation before you can preach it to others.

Let your problem become your project. It is right there you will experience the power of God.

Phil 3:10 (KJV)10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

It is not wonderful to minister to others and you yourself is a cast away – 1 Cor 9:26-27(KJV)26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

This will be your ultimate goal, to experience the supernatural miracle  no matter what you are going through now.

Job 19:25-27 (NLT)25 “But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last. 26 And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God! 27 I will see him for myself. Yes, I will see him with my own eyes. I am overwhelmed at the thought!

Isa 43:2 (NKJV)When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.

Shun a lot of noise making.  This is a hindrance to miracles.

Rom 2:21-22(TLB)21 Yes, you teach others-then why don’t you teach yourselves? You tell others not to steal-do you steal? 22 You say it is wrong to commit adultery-do you do it? You say “Don’t pray to idols” and then make money your god instead.

The message I bring across to you today is that the husbandman that labours should be  a partaker of the crops.

That is my determination in every ramification.
