OCBsermon: Step Out (2 Kings 7:1 NKJV)

"Then Elisha said, "Hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the LORD: 'Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria."
The above scripture was a word of the Lord for a nation at a time of food scarcity. It was a prophetic word that promised such an abundant supply that beat every human imagination. It was so difficult for the minds of the people that heard this word of the Lord to agree with it. Their present affliction made it impossible for them to picture excellence.
Before you can experience the supernatural power of God that births miracles, you must be willing to step out in boldness. The heroes of this particular story were four lepers. How did they become heroes? They stepped out.The promise of supernatural abundance was hanging over this people. God had gone ahead of them to clear their path. However, someone still needed to step out without fear before the performance of the Word. Do you see promises in the Word that apply to your life? Dare to step out just like these lepers did. Your miracle is waiting for you. Step out and claim what is yours.

OCBsermon: Speak to Your Mountain (Mark 11:23 NKJV)

(Mark 11:23 NKJV) "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says."On a daily basis, we deal with issues of life that require the intervention of God.

So many times, we allow ourselves to get overwhelmed by the pressure that comes with these situations. It is so good to know that God has provided a way of escape for all His children where life issues are concerned. When Jesus rose up from the dead, He was given all power in heaven and on earth. Jesus then turned to you and gave you the same resurrected power when you accepted Him as your Savior.

You have the name of Jesus, which is above all names. When you proclaim it in the face of adversity, the enemy has no option but to back off. Child of God, it is time to exercise the God-kind of faith that you have. Take your place of authority in prayer today. Dare to speak to those mountains of problems with confidence, demanding that they should move out of the way.

The Spirit of Excellence
(Daniel 5:12 NKJV) "Inasmuch as an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting dreams, solving riddles, and explaining enigmas were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation."Excellence is about putting your best effort in your endeavor.

OCBsermon: It Maketh Rich (Proverbs 10:22 NKJV)

"The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it."The blessing is a spiritual empowerment that makes things to happen pleasantly in this natural world. It is the ability of God that produces great result in this physical and material world. Shortly after God met with Abraham in Genesis 12, he received the promise of blessing from God. Later in Genesis 13:2, the Bible tells us that Abraham became rich in cattle, silver and gold. Abraham actually became the most influential person in his environment. How did it happen? God blessed him. The same blessing was passed to his son, Isaac and his grandson, Jacob. You have the same covenant that Abraham had with God. In fact, yours is better. It was improved by the blood of Jesus before it was passed to you. This covenant comes with great blessing for you and your household. Your obedience is the key to turning the spiritual blessing upon you into physical tangibility. Step out in faith and obedience today so that wealth and riches can show up in your life like never before. Let us see your blessing in manifestation.

OCBsermon: There Is No Want To Those Who Fear Him Ps 34:9

No Want
(Psalms 34:9 NKJV) "Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him."The fear of the Lord is the foundation of the prosperity of the saints. The word 'fear' has nothing to do with being afraid. Rather, it talks about a reverential respect and honor for God. God loves you as a father would love his child. In return, He demands honor and respect from you. Your respect for God is demonstrated in your love for His commandment and statues. God also desires that you spend time in His presence continually. He wants to reveal Himself to you. He does not want you to be in the dark where His will for you is concerned. When you begin to know God like this, you will not only be His son, you will become His friend. If there is anything God does for His friends, He reveals His ways. Moses and Abraham were two people who became God's friends and the outcome of their lives were outstanding. God wants to eliminate want in your life. He desires to take care of your needs and wants. Start to consciously honor Him from today and your days of want will be over.
