TOPIC: THE UNLIMITED GOD VII

MEMORISE:

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. - (Exodus 3:14)

BIBLE READING: DANIEL 7:13-14 (KJV)

13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

MESSAGE:

I will conclude my discussion on the Unlimited God today by telling you about an incident that happened in 1983 when we were about to hold the first-ever RCCG Annual Convention in Redemption City. The city, which we called Redemption Camp back then, was a jungle, and we were just trying to erect some structures when suddenly, a flock of tiny birds came in their hundreds of thousands and covered every tree around us. Within a day, they had eaten all the leaves on the trees and messed the whole place with their faeces, creating an awful stench. The birds were so tiny, and we didn't know how to get rid of them. When I told God about the issue, He said, "Leave it to Me." Shortly after, dozens of mighty eagles came from nowhere and started killing and eating the birds. After a few hours, none of the little birds remained, and the eagles flew away. I decree that God will send help to you from places you least expect, in Jesus' name.

When we wanted to start a church in Israel, I told one of the ambassadors to the country about our intention. On hearing this, he laughed and said, "Everybody knows that America is best friends with Israel, yet the government of Israel has told America, 'Since you're a Christian country, you can have your diverse denominations, but we don't want to hear anything about Pentecostals in our country.' If they said that to America, and you are coming from Nigeria of all places, what are the chances that they'll allow you to set up a branch of your church in their country?" I told him that my case would be different. Being a diplomat, he immediately took a diplomatic approach with me and asked what I wanted him to do for me, as he could clearly see that I was determined to go ahead with the application. I asked him to help me submit an application letter to the government, and he did. Six months later, we were registered. Our God is unlimited in influence and authority; He can bypass government decrees and policies for your sake.

Beloved, if you are faced with challenges that seem insurmountable, just remember that you serve a God who made a way through the Red Sea for the Israelites to pass through (Exodus 14:21-22). Call on Him in faith today, and He will remove all obstacles hindering your progress and grant you victory on all sides. 

PRAYER POINT:

Unlimited Father, please take away every limitation that has kept me from enjoying Your fullness, in Jesus' name.

DATE: TUESDAY FEBRUARY 24TH 2026

TOPIC: THE UNLIMITED GOD VI

MEMORISE:

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. - (1 Peter 5:7)

BIBLE READING: 2 KINGS 4:1-7 (KJV)

1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.

2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

MESSAGE:

Today, I will discuss God's unlimited capacity to meet all your needs with His unlimited resources. The Bible is filled with many accounts that show that God is unlimited when it comes to supplying the needs of His children, and today's Bible reading is one of such accounts. The widow of a man of God was in a really terrible situation because she was in a lot of debt, and her creditors had come to take her two sons as slaves to pay it off. Thankfully, the woman ran to Elisha to tell him about her ordeal. By running to the man of God, she invited the Unlimited God into her situation, and not only did He meet her immediate needs, He also provided for her future needs.

Beloved, God is not limited by what you have or do not have to provide for your needs. He is not limited by who you know or do not know to supply the resources you need. His resources are unlimited, so unlimited that He can wipe out all the debt you might be owing in one day, no matter how huge they are. He is Jehovah El-Shaddai, which some Bible scholars translate as 'The Mother's Breast'. In a mother's breast, there is enough milk for her babies to feed. God is unlimited, and He can supply whatever you need. Some Bible scholars have also said that when Jesus said, "If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it," in John 14:14, He was actually saying, "If you ask for something that I haven't created already, I will create it for you." That is how unlimited our God is.

In John 1:1-3, the Bible says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." Because God made all things, He owns all things, and because He owns all things, He can use anything He deems fit to ensure that your needs are met. Never doubt that God cares for you. If He ensures that the birds of the air don't lack what to eat daily (Matthew 6:25-26), then He will abundantly supply your needs. Put all your trust in the Unlimited God; He is more than able to supply all your needs according to His unlimited riches (Philippians 4:19). 

KEY POINT:

The Unlimited God truly cares for you, and He has more than enough to meet your needs. 

AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: DEUTERONOMY 9-11

HYMNAL:  27 WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS 

1 What a friend we have in Jesus,

all our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

all because we do not carry

everything to God in prayer!

2 Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Can we find a friend so faithful

who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

3 Are we weak and heavy laden,

cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge--

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Do your friends despise, forsake you?

Take it to the Lord in prayer!

In his arms he'll take and shield you;

you will find a solace there.

DATE: MONDAY FEBRUARY 23RD 2026

TOPIC: THE UNLIMITED GOD V

MEMORISE:

The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts. - (Haggai 2:8) 

BIBLE READING: PSALM 50:10-15 (KJV)

10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:

15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

MESSAGE:

Over the past few days, I have discussed how God cannot be hindered by opposition, circumstances, or time. I will continue this series today by discussing how He rules in the affairs of men and cannot be hindered by resources.

Psalm 24:1 says, "The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: the world, and they that dwell therein." There is no need that is too great for God, the One who made the earth and its fullness, to meet. The world's richest man today only has a fraction of the earth's resources. Also, the combined wealth of the world's richest people is only a drop in the ocean compared to the vast riches that God has put on earth. In Mark 6:35-44, when a multitude gathered before Jesus and the disciples were worried about how to feed them, He asked them to search if they could find some loaves of bread, but all they found was a little boy's meal. I am sure the disciples must have thought that Jesus would laugh when they brought it to Him, but He took that little meal and multiplied it to feed over 5,000 people. When you give your little resources to the Lord, He will ensure that you have more than you need.

In (2 Kings 4:42-44), a man brought some foodstuff to Elisha that would have lasted him for a couple of days or weeks. However, Elisha was not alone; he had 100 other men, sons of the prophets, with him. When he asked his servant to serve the men, the servant wondered how such a small quantity of food would be enough. However, when the word of the Unlimited God came, that little food fed 100 men, and there were leftovers. When the word of the Lord comes upon the little you have, it will be more than enough.

In today's memory verse, God said that silver and gold belong to Him. Likewise, in today's Bible reading, He said that the beasts of the field and the cattle upon a thousand hills are His. God has unlimited resources, and one way to enjoy them is to live a life of thanksgiving. When you appreciate God for everything He has done, He will do much more. It is the will of God that you give thanks in all things (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

Beloved, make giving thanks to your heavenly Father your lifestyle. There is no limit to what God can supply when you give Him thanks in all things. 

KEY POINT:

God is not limited by resources. 

AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: DEUTERONOMY 5-8

HYMN:18  PRAISE TO THE LORD, THE ALMIGHTY, THE KING OF CREATION 

1 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!

O my soul, praise him, for he is your health and salvation!

Come, all who hear; now to his temple draw near,

join me in glad adoration.

2 Praise to the Lord, above all things so wondrously reigning;

sheltering you under his wings, and so gently sustaining!

Have you not seen all that is needful has been

sent by his gracious ordaining?

3 Praise to the Lord, who will prosper your work and defend you;

surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend you.

Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,

if with his love he befriends you.

4 Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!

All that has life and breath, come now with praises before him.

Let the Amen sound from his people again;

gladly forever adore him.
