What To Do When Things Are Contrary To Your Expectations - Archbishop Benson Idahosa

give me my bible sometimes you find that the day you are looking for joy you don't find it but there's no day that god will deny you testimony [Music] i say god will never deny you testimony god will never deny you testimony amen amen amen amen amen i'm looking for two stories in the bible here this morning first and foremost the bible said in acts chapter 9 verse 17. and anna's went his way and entered into the house and putting his hand on him said brother saul the lord even jesus that appeared unto thee in the way a doubt thou camerts has sent me that thou mightiest receive thy sight and be filled with the holy ghost and immediately dear fell from his eyes as it had been scales and he received sight fought with and rose and was baptized look at verse 19 and when he had received meat he was strengthened then was sought certain days with the disciples which were at damascus look at verse 20 and straightway he preached christ in synagogues in the synagogue that he is the son of god but all that had him were amazed and said is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in jerusalem and came here for that intent that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests but everyone said that with me i don't hear you i'm not hearing you soul increased the more in strength and confounded the jews with duet at damascus proving that this is this is very christ how did paul replied his critics here the accusation was this man preaching christ is he not the one who is killing everybody that day is it not the man we are running from instead of saying you are telling lie you are a liar the bible says he increased the more this same paul who was killing people yesterday few days later in this chapter he was put in a woven basket to cross to the other side so he can sustain his life sometimes the gospel gives you what you didn't bargain for but every time god gives you his hands you didn't hear what i'm saying many times many times on your way to the top you can stumble on your way to the stop oh if you are climbing hill sometimes you can find yourself in unexpected ways trying to climb you sleep you bruise your hand you bruise your leg if you know where you are going until you get there don't look at your wounds but when you come to the house of the lord like this you have come to renew your strength the world is worrisome the job is tiring i looked at equipment yesterday generosity and others invited me to come i got that the place will route the governor governor governor chief of bad this and that and that when it was time for them to collect offering reign just came back i see this world when they were doing all that things since no rain nothing immediately they say now for launching with jose creek quickly and the ring came down dog and cut and pushing an old book all of them joined and ten miles from there no rain where they need that money most but god is a good god god is a good god ask somebody standing near you not your not your former customer the one you are too used to you know sometimes you get so used to people anything you say is fun i just said to one of our ministers here this might say please don't take this song as a funny song add life to it we are not singing funny song when you are singing you are singing to the glory of god when you are dancing you are dancing to the glory of god don't take god funnily take god seriously can i hear you say amen i want to ask you a question please look for who you don't know mrs oakley go to a choir section abby's come downstairs here come and ask somebody the question i'm asking ask someone do you believe god answers prayer this way this way i do i do i do i want you to ask somebody again do you believe god will answer your prayers all right amen or i stay where you are now stay where you are mrs could you run back to your seat thank you abs for doing that where are you you have reached your seat so soon i told you a permanent secretary i say front seat i didn't ask you near that place now listen to me everybody stay there for one minute that one is too near to you you know too much look for the person where you don't know too much you know everybody you are doing the right thing now listen to me everyone the question we have is not whether god answers prayer it is whether we use him as our defense when life is against us is anybody hearing what i'm saying some of you are so used to me that's so used to me you are so used to we are together it's papa his name is papa don't even remember my name again this is papa that's not my name that's what mrs zabal called me before she died but if those people are coming i will never forget this was where the boy was ordained here as a young man ordained here consecrated in kaduna today he says to me he stood me on tuesday by phone all we do is all we copied from you we got to fred that dude if he said to us inside of the crowd everything you see here in the site it's done in benin that's why all of us are going to beneath he's coming with three bosses from kaduna to the convention but you are here with me some of you are still lame and what people people calling guru some of you are still crawling and i'm looking at you because jesus said all that the father have revealed to me i showed it to you when i announced i say monday tuesday wednesday school of ministry the first thing that come to your head is that he will not be at home on thursday and friday which is a stupid thought if you are really serving god even if i am not to be here like we said now monday tuesday wednesday thursday i'm teaching friday i will be here saturday i will be here you better hear what i'm saying you will see me here on friday you will see me here on saturday how many of you know i cannot tell lie openly i'll be here whether it's friday morning and saturday evening i will be here but i'll be here for the whole week till sunday i may go away but i will come back for you to see me so that god will not travel this week you pastors that i thought god can count on same thing you do choir people same thing you do regular members purposes tuesday what day did he say professor hoya tuesday so he will not be home on monday you will see me here tomorrow morning you see me in the evening but i want you to rest because we have combined anointing service tonight so you rest tomorrow evening but those of us who are god's customers whether i'm at home i'm not at home god is at home are you hearing what i'm saying there are some of you now only on sunday morning we see you that is not how to serve god the reason many of you don't know how to react to opposing forces because you are not found in the house of god you try or where you hear another new denomination have come to town let me go and try that one for two weeks i'll take my wife and children we are going there you get there now the people you taught in sunday school 15 years ago they are now your pastor somebody is not hearing what i'm saying somebody you taught in sunday school people like professor hoya doctor basic and the rest of them and dr qatar they touch people like bishop joe are you a digger you taught your joke it's on the school all of you taught them he's on the school yeah younger than you in faith you were with me before they came so you must have taught those people they are now bishops if that one now says i have opened a church come and bring my dick i'm not sure whether you are hearing what i'm saying the person you talk to in front of the school wants to make you a dicken you have to think first before you leave them for prayer he said okay we have an anointing tomorrow i have two gallons of water to pour in your head look at his hand first whether this is not the one you taught some years ago it's not pride but it is knowing whom you are somebody say i know whom i am beneath saying what's needed in one day if it's a suffer not the death of another man compound thought you said i don't want to pay rent that's why i build my house from heaven so when you give me complaints you're carrying my house i travel and leave you from where you are i want to show you what to do when things are

eaten in shiloh and after they had drunk now eli the priest sat upon his seat by the post of the temple of the lord and she was in bitterness of soul and prayed unto the lord and wept so versus her adversary mocked her provocation hannah played and wept saw her adversary provoca saw anna prayed and wept so her adversary provoked her soul and prayed and wept so when your friend become your enemy

hear from god too but let me say this to you women mrs butler when you finish your let me know second stop preaching unless we learn to live together on earth here we will not be able to spend eternity together in heaven [Music] i hope somebody's hearing what i'm saying this rather than hannah look for other people to join her to fight her she ran to god i said god the challenge is your own it's not my own do you know what the bible says here because the lord shot up a womb that womb ought not to be open till she died she was made a spiritual you knock but because of her mate who provoked her to sow god opened the womb thank you jesus so if you are patient watch your enemy thought to be evil against you god will turn you to become good five of you here let this child go and see that give her 200 give her 200. now listen five of you come here she cried to god and she vowed a vow and said oh lord of hosts if thou would indeed look on this affliction of the handmaid i remember me and not forget the handmaid but we give unto thy handmaid a man child then i will give him unto the lord all the days of his life and there shall no result come upon his head and he came to pass as she continued praying before the lord she continued what praying did she continue fighting did she continue murmuring did she continue taking the challenge to man did she say all the wishes and wizards now then do me this one what did she do she continued praying look at verse 17 then eli answered and said go in peace and the god of israel granted that petition that that has asked of him and she said let the handmaid find grace in thy sight so the woman went away and did it and her countenance was no more sad when you cry to some extent and is above you wipe your face when you committed to god i said in the convention of women two years ago when the person you have done good turn your good to bad don't revenge don't hold prayer meet and say that body member mean prayer jackson remember me proud who could you remember me prayer good morning remember me prayer i can't remember my prayer tonight boy you are telling the whole world that you are the only one with problems if you have taken that big problem to god almighty alone the answer would have come what faster the result would have come what instant how would god have done his own immediately what would you think god would have done marvelous what do you think would have happened if you took it to god in prayer testimony [Applause] but many times i'm preaching natural message this morning i'm preaching natural many times when our enemies push us we look forward to joining us to push them look look look look in the choir in the air that section don't put this one on temple every department
