GREATER WORKS THAN THIS
By Pastor James Fadele
John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18). There is a place where you will be celebrated and a wonder. “God said to Moses when they were in the wilderness: Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward (Deut. 2:9). God said in Deut 2:3: Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. There is a specific assignment for specific people. If you’ve been busy in the wrong assignment, God will catapult you to the right one!
John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me while it is still day
WHAT ARE THE GREATER WORKS?
•Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
•James 15:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
•Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
WHAT MAKES THE GREATER WORKS GREATER?
The Holy Spirit.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
The Holy Spirit makes intercession for us.
Luke 22:31- 32 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
People should fall in love with Jesus by your ministry (Let me decrease that Jesus may increase in me). All glory to God.
John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
WHO IS TO DO THE WORK?
•Those who believe: Luke 1:45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
•The born-again: John 3:3-5 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
•Mark 16:17-18 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
WHAT SHOULD BE THE LIFESTYLE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WILL DO GREATER WORKS?
-Endure hardship as a good soldier for Christ (2 Tim. 2:3)
-Hunger for righteousness (Matt. 5:6)
-Disciplined life. A lover of food can’t do greater works.
Ephesians 4:21-24 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
WHO ARE THE PEOPLE WHO DO THE GREATER WORKS?
Those who honor the anointing:
John 13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
