“The Year of God’s Great Abundance of Grace”
“Going the extra Mile”

Matthew 5:41 Ephesians 6:8 I kings 17:8

• In every area you must go over and above to get the blessing

• We must go the extra mile – Like Ruth, we are after the Boaz blessing

• There is a Boaz blessing in the $500 in 100 days - Going the extra mile

• God will bless a saved or an unsaved man for the good they do

• We receive a reward from the Lord for going the extra mile

• Widow woman had a vision of death – We refuse to allow death to take hold

• God wants us rich -God hates lack – Lack has to go in Jesus name

• When you want to do something fear, will come – Stay in faith

• Fear not – Give to God first – God will bless you all the days of your life

• Believe the prophet -So shall you prosper – Go the extra mile

• You may say “this is not a good time for me” – When is it every a good time to go the extra mile

• There is something powerful in going the extra mile – Go for it

• Jesus went the extra mile for all the world – He had a great harvest

• All the disciples saw Jesus walking on the water - All of them were in the boat

• Only Peter was willing to step out of the boat onto the water with Jesus

• Many have already stepped up to go the extra mile – Have you?

Witnessing

"Witnessing"

• Open in Prayer
  
• Song
  
• Testimonies
  
• Prayer of Three

Exodus 32:29
29: For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
• There is a shift taking place in the church. God is blessing His people through consecration.
• Consecration means we are devoted, dedicated, and giving it all to Him.
• There are different times that God calls for consecration to receive blessings.

I Chronicles 29:5
5: The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?
• When God built the temple, everything was dedicated to Him.

Proverbs 23:26
26: My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
• God wants our hearts. We have to give our hearts to Him.
• We have a choice where our heart goes.
• The heart and attitude of the heart go together.

Proverbs 4:20-23
20: My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
• The measure of the heart given will determine your blessings.
• How much of our hearts have we given to God?
• We need our hearts to be in line with God.
• The measure of your heart given will determine your destiny.
• The measure of your heart given will determine your blessings.
• God is only held back by the amount of our heart we give Him.
• Everything is targeted at our hearts: music, videos, movies, books, etc.
• Where your heart is – your treasures are.
• God wants us to learn from each other.

Romans 12:1
1: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
• Beseech means to beg, plead, to cry out.
• Brethren means, he is speaking to the saints, not to heathens.
• Present means to yield to your heart.
• Sacrifice is what God demands.
• God made a sacrifice when He gave his Son.

Genesis 22
• Abraham had to pass the test. He had to: 1) leave his father; 2) believe God was going to bless him with a child, and 3) when Isaac was between 18 to 21 years old, God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac.
• Sacrifice demands for us to give up something we love for something that is greater.
• People want a blessing without sacrifice.
• God wants us to sacrifice to bring the next level of prosperity. It is the order of God.
• Many want the next level of blessings without the next level of sacrifice.
• Our flesh doesn’t like sacrifice, our soul doesn’t like sacrifice, and even sometimes, our spirit-man will fight against sacrifice.

I Kings 17:9
9Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
• The widow woman was in a major recession.
• God sent the man of God to bring her out of her crisis, but it was not going to happen without sacrifice on her part.
• The water did not cost her anything.
• The cake did cost and it was a sacrifice.
• Sacrifice is another form of consecration.
• In order to get to where we want to go, it requires sacrifice.
• God brought a supernatural blessing to the widow woman.
• Some people never get the greater blessing because they don’t understand sacrifice.
• Our first sacrifice to God is ourselves.

II Timothy 2:21
21: If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
• If you ever want to look for an excuse you will find one.
• We don’t become a vessel of honor until we consecrate, sacrifice, and become meet for the Master’s use.
