EXCEEDING YOUR PEERS

Ministering: Bishop Mike Bamidele
Tonight, you will outsmart your enemies. You will outrun your competitors. You will exceed your peers in the name of Jesus Christ.
Exceeding greatness means to go beyond among the great people. Ephesians 1:19, “And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,” It is a prayer request that you will understand the exceeding greatness of God’s power. There is a power of God and you need to know it. Until you pray you may not know how great God is.
This great God, when He works inside of you, His exceeding great power works through you. God’s power is not just for God in heaven, He puts His power inside of you and that power begins to work inside of you mightily. Colossian 1:29, “Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.” God’s power will be working in you in the name of Jesus Christ
One of the things the power of God makes you to do is to make you exceed your peers; outrun your competitors; to do what others cannot do. Tonight the unction to outrun others will rest upon you in the name of Jesus Christ. This is not for self-promotion, but to glorify the God that is living inside of you, that He is not ordinary God. You cannot carry God inside of you and somebody without God will be getting the same result in life. Then what is the benefit of God you have when you have the same result with those without God? The difference must be there! They must know that your God is not dormant. He is working mightily in every aspect of your life: career, marriage, business etc. Your life is to manifest His greatness day in day out. Ephesians 6:10, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”
You are to be strong in the Lord and power of God’s might. You are not to run the affairs of your life with human energy or your strength, but the power of God’s might. In the next three month, men will be saying indeed God is working in your life in the name of Jesus Christ.
When you serve God, He makes your life excel and exceed others to show that He is your God. Genesis 26:13, “And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:” Isaac followed divine direction and instruction from God. God told him not to go down to the land of Egypt and he obeyed. The same year, Isaac sowed in the land and reaped hundred folds. May you be led by God in the name of Jesus Christ. God is taking responsibility for your life, you cannot miss it. Please, do not look back, do not be distracted in life, do not ever think that things will get worse. You have colorful future, never look down on yourself. There may be Red Sea before you, but you are going forward. There may be wall of Jericho in front of you, but you are going forward. There may be river Jordan before you, but you are going forward. Nothing can hold you down in life in the name of Jesus Christ. Challenges exist in life and that is not a problem. Not to have challenges in life is a problem. Challenges announce you that you are a champion. Until there was a Goliath, there was no fame for David. Every Goliath is to signal that you will soon become a champion if you are ready to face it and conquer it. Every Goliath shows that you have a great future. The bigger your opposition, the bigger position you are going. No one fights a man going nowhere. People only resist someone that is going somewhere in life. Your greatness is your personal responsibilities. You can only be shown the way; you cannot be enforced to follow the path. There are some things that cannot be delegated. You have to do it by yourself. I cannot breathe in for you. You have to do it by yourself. Greatness often means prosperity (spiritual prosperity and material prosperity).
The events of our lives are spiritually programmed. Honour those who pray for you. They are ushering things into your life through their intercessions. No matter the opposition against you, you and your household will prosper in the name of Jesus Christ. Genesis 26:14-16, “For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. 15For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth. 16And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.” That shall be your testimonies. You will exceed others in the name of Jesus Christ. Esther 9:4, “For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.” Mordecai was very great and he began to move from greatness to greatness. You will exceed them in the name of Jesus Christ.
Prayer:
- Father, reveal Your greatness to me and make me exceedingly great in the name of Jesus Christ.
- Father, I receive exceed grace for exceeding greatness in the name of Jesus Christ.
- Father, let the power of Your might make me outrun my adversaries in life in the name of Jesus.
- Father, help me to grow from greatness to greatness in the name of Jesus Christ.
- Psalms 71:21, “Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.” Father, take me to the next level of greatness in the name of Jesus Christ.
- Father, I decree and declare, great people will come out of my family, my family shall not be full of strugglers, my family will not be a family of beggars, will not be poor in the name of Jesus Christ.
- Those who are succeeding in my family will never go down in the name of Jesus Christ.
