I want you to go ahead and call God the names He is to you. Deliverer, Lifter of my head, King of my destiny, Lover of my soul, My Healer, My Banker and My Sustainer. My Overflow! Thank you Lord for a time like this; another time in your presence. To you be all the glory in Jesus name.
Psalm 119:130 records, The entrance of God's Word giveth light and understanding to the simple. Lord Jesus simplify our minds. Use the words shared through me to transform lives to the glory of your majestic name. I hide behind the cross of Jesus to decree and declare that the water of God’s WORD from these lips of clay will heal and deliver, save and make whole, turn dry ground to overflowing cities! Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. And the people of God say, AMEN.
<b>The Season of Overflow </b>
I am Dr. Omolola Omoteso. I refer to myself as a transformational strategist, teacher and healer. My calling is to heal minds. I bring you greetings from my family, ministries and missions under my watch, one of which is Divine Connection where we heal minds to fulfil purpose and shape destinies.
It has been a blessing to be part of Feast of Esther, through which I met your blessed Mummy; a vision by Pastor Foluke Adeboye that positively impacts female leaders in ministry. I honour all the ministers and members here present beginning with the Senior Pastor of this church, Rev. Emmanuel Nnadozie and my dear sister Pastor Christie Ohuabunwa. Thank you so much for this opportunity. I look at you and see an example of a couple who is God-led and God fed. God bless you for the great work you do. The relevance, rewards and awards of selfless service will not elude you in Jesus name. The Temple Rebuilders Ministries under your watch will overflow with praise reports.
Introduction
Our God who sits in heaven with His legs touching the earth (Isaiah 66:1) is by every means a BIG GOD and He overflows in grace, mercy and favour. His thoughts for us are thoughts of good (Isaiah 55:8-9). God wants us to be free and to be the catalyst for freeing others, to proclaim good news and good tidings to the poor and comfort the broken-hearted (Isaiah 61:1). He wants us to be rich and to be the pathway through which others access His riches in glory (Deuteronomy 15:6). Luke 2:10 show us how God offered us via prophecy something better than happiness. “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.”
This overflowing joy promised through the birth of our Saviour will not just be for one but “to all people.” Obedience as we know is better than sacrifice (1 Peter 15:22); as we follow His precepts diligently (Psalms 119:4) and acknowledge Him, He will direct our paths (Proverbs 3:6) and give us an expected end (Jeremiah 29:11).
Through the pages of a book I developed and published for a woman of God who is a business leader in 2015, titled The Season of Overflow readers are taken on a path to the season of overflow through biblical answers to pertinent questions.
2 Kings 3:16 was a prophecy that filled a dry city with water but only because the leaders believed and led the people to obey.
Divinity is the author of overflow especially as it relates to our needs and the needs of others who look up to us. In essence Jesus whom we seek in Temple Rebuilder Ministries is the answer
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
As you focus less on you and look to Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith and love others as He directed in His word (1 John 4:11), you will receive the keys to unlock the door that leads to your season of overflow.
Say Lord Jesus, today by the anointing upon the ministers here present, I receive th keys to fully unlock my season of overflowing grace.
Joel 2:23-26
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. I thought someone will be saying amen!
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Season Defined
Season has three major definitions. The first refers to the four divisions of the year (spring, summer, autumn or fall, and winter) marked by particular weather patterns. The second refers to periods in the year marked by special events, activities or festivities e.g. “Christmas season”. The third is in reference to adding condiments or spices to something especially food.
Overflowing Defined
Overflowing is a gerund or present participle of overflow. It refers to something that runs over the brim of a receptacle. Synonym of the word include overfull, bursting, bursting at the seams, spilling over, jam-packed.
Overflow refers to a container that is so full that the contents go over or extend above the sides. It refers to a space that is so crowded that people cannot fit inside. Overflowing refers to excess supply or excess production. Consequently, overflowing season is a period marked by excess supply or excess provision, a period of more than enough supply.
What happens during season of overflow?
1. Believers rejoice. Psalms 32:11 “Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!” Joel 2:2 “Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things!”
Repeat after me
Lord Jesus, bless me with the joy of salvation and do great things in my life.
God vindicate me! Give me the early rain in Jesus name. Amen
2. You will be vindicated. Hannah was vindicated when she gave birth to one son. This act shut the mouth of Peninah and all those who called Hannah barren.
James 5:7 “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.”
Repeat
Ancient of Days, vindicate me. Bless me with the patience I need for the early rain of overflow and the latter rain of overflow.
3. God will pour down the latter rain of abundance. Deuteronomy 11:14a “That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain.” Hannah got the latter rain of abundance as God gave her five other children after Samuel. 1 Samuel 2:21 “And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.” Zechariah 10:1 “Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.”
Repeat
The God of all flesh turn every dark cloud in my life to showers of rain, where I have known sorrow, give me overflowing joy
4. The threshing floors shall be full of grain, the harvest from the rain. Leviticus 26:5 “And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.”
The threshing floor is the production factory where they convert the produce into consumables for sale. The initial place they store the produce. Let’s make declarations:
5. Lost years will be restored. Joel 2:25 “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.”
For every Hannah whose house had been quiet and lonely, o Lord transform it to a home with joyful noise and children running around.
For every Hannah or Boaz, who was tagged barren, let them become busy, making school runs, buying children’s clothes, bathing them and taking them to church.
For every Hannah whose two door car is sufficient, infuse your expansion so she needs a bigger car and a bigger house!
For every living being here present and associated t us, we will dwell in safety, go out with joy and be led forth in peace. Every mountain of strife and contention shall break down before us and we shall return rejoicing bringing in our sheaves in Jesus name!
For every one in business, Jehovah Nissi will cause our office to overflow with ideas and contracts.
For everyone who is idle, Lord God give ideas that will cause the windows of heaven to pour resources into them.
For everyone looking for jobs, jobs will begin to look for you.
For every farmer or producer, I decree that your barn will be full of produce; you will have more than enough to sell.
For every minister of the gospel, God will back up your words with authority and power, your ministry will overflow with testimonies, your office will be full of invitation letters to minister and to celebrate, you will have difficulty finding enough time to go.
For every trader or seller, orders will be coming in left, right and centre and orders begin to look for you.
For every unmarried person, suitors will come searching for you; there will be multiple proposals and blissful marriages in Jesus name
For every professional lost years will be restored, promotion will call out to you
By the time Hannah had 5 children running around the house, the joy she had lost for several years was fully restored. In fact, Hannah had overtaken those who had children before her but only had 3 or 4. She had become their senior having delivered 6 children in all. During an overflowing season, your years of toiling with no result is more than compensated for as you eat in plenty with no more lack.
Decree and declare:
By the reason of the anointing in the house today, I will overflow. My joy is restored. The years of toiling with no result is over! I am compensated. I am complimented. I am celebrated. I am restored!
For every employee, your rapid promotion will cause you to overtake some of your colleagues who had watched you in your years of career stagnation.
If you are a business owner, begin to recover lost years as many contracts push you far ahead of your competitors.
If you are a tenant, go and become a landlord who owns multiple houses.
If you are nursing sickness that compelled you to run around to find solution, receive your miracle, receive your divine wellness and wholeness, never to be sick again.
6. During your season of overflow, shame will be banished. Shame is banished in my life, my children’s lives, my spouse’s life. After the order of Joel 2:26 I Omolola shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord my God, who dealt wondrously with me. I decree ad declare that my people shall never be ashamed.
Brethren, after Hannah had become a mother of 6 children, there was no way she could ever know the shame of barrenness again!
Decree and declare that
Every unemployed person who shamefully begs for money here or around you will receive a divine shift from idle to fully engaged with overflowing income.
Every professional who is an employee and tired of clocking in and clocking out, receive divine assistance to become an employer of labour in Jesus name.
Every woman or man, facing satanic harassment from in laws, we decree and declare that hearts of stone will receive regeneration to hearts of flesh and they will be supernaturally transformed to love you and seek your good.
Every marriage facing storm we pray the stillness of God into you. Receive fresh fire of love that binds you together as one.
Every masquerade Christian, harassing widows and widowers, suffocating the economic advancement of those mourning, receive the baptism of light that transformed Saul to Paul in Jesus name.
7. For everyone seeking overflow praise will be continually present to show God’s faithfulness. Isaiah 12:4-5 “And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.” Psalm 9:1-2 “I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.” God dwells in the midst of praise. Acts 16:25-26 “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard
them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.” An overflow indicates the presence of God, as such praise must continue during the season of overflow.
I want you to begin to sing a song of thanks and praise to God; any song, let God hear your voice.
I want you to study 2 kings 3:16-20. It is the story of how God changed dryness to overflow by command. 5 things were present: Community (of believers), Connection (to prophet), Compassion (of God and prophet),Commitment (leaders). Cooperation (of the people)
Elisha listened because one of those who approached him feared God. Elisha called for praise through a minstrel. It was in the place of worship that prophecy came forth. To stop the war, the losing king sacrificed his son and the season changed!
What have you sacrificed. What have you sowed. May we not have to sacrifice our children for generational curses, battles, suffering to abate in Jesus name.
The word of prophecy that came out said dig your ditches! What ditches have you towards drawing from the well of wellness and wealth. You have a house where everything is white, children cannot visit because you are Mr. Prim or Mrs. Proper, and you are asking God for a child! How will children come when your home is closed and reception is averted in the spirit realm. Perhaps your arrogance and disdain for humility needs to die for God to promote you. Naaman was asked to dip but he wanted fine river! Eh! Eh! You dream and God told you what to do to get your citizenship and you said me, I cannot do that, are you prepared for deportation?
Someone visited me and God said give him a prophetic gift. There is no one I give prophetic gift who does not receive testimonies. I gave him $10. That was all I had, he could have felt belittled but he accepted it, received the prophecy and did what I asked him to do. Dear brethren, just as God prophesied through me after the order of divine grace that I stand on, in 5 days, a door that was previously sealed, opened. He travelled to another state the next day, all expense paid to work. During the assignment, he was asked to go and interview someone, he conducted himself committedly, dedicatedly, diligently and when he was going, the person who is a friend to a governor went in to bring an envelope which he gave to him. The person interviewed appreciated the person who came to conduct the interview he said thank you and left. But on getting to the vehicle and seeing the content, he ran back to say a bigger thank you.
This is the season when you will increase your appreciation because God will surprise you. A woman of God woke up and a Mercedes Benz was waiting in her driveway on her birthday. That can be you. Why did the person who receive prophetic gift run back to give a bigger thank you, the content. Say the content. The content of the ditches dug by the Israelites was bigger than their expectation.
The envelope contained 10 100 dollar notes. The envelope contained 100 ten dollars! Guess what, He is NOT a Christian! Yet, God brought him to me to tap into divine grace. Why? Mercy. He ran with the vision. He ran with the word of knowledge. He ran with the prophecy. Many have become so comfortable and familiar with God that they disobey pastors and prophets. God brought him to me to tap into divine grace. Why? Mercy. He ran with the vision. He ran with the word of knowledge. He ran with the prophecy.
In 2 Kings 3, God gave more than the dig many ditches command. God promised they would conquer their enemy (2 Kings 3:17-19). It happened just as God said it would. They dug ditches, a flash flood swept across the deserted land, the water was saved in the ditches, and they were saved from drought. Then their enemies saw the light reflected off the water and for some reason they thought it was blood of the three armies fighting each other. Thinking the battle was over, the Moabites walked right into the camp of the three kings and the Moabites were utterly destroyed. The armies of the three kings were delivered from death in the desert. They won a miraculous victory over their enemy. All because they obeyed the strange command to dig ditches in the desert.
What command or prophecy have you received? Have you done your part?
Are you positioned for the season of overflow? One of the books I have on amazon is divine positioning. Are you positioned to receive grace for the season of overflow? How?
1. Connect to the source of grace and overflow. Everything I have been saying is not for abusers, or harassers, or manipulators, or liars or thieves or those who secretly reject God when they seek other gods privately! If you are not genuinely born again, I ask you to surrender your life to Jesus. For thee who are born again, stay connected to Jesus through prayers, praise and worship. 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." Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
2. Passionately pursue the grace to overflow. Pursuit is the evidence of desire. Daddy pursued Mummy and today we have a couple overflowing with grace for the benefit if the body of Jesus Christ. Never be satisfied with your current status, seek the best gifts earnestly. Jeremiah 29:13 “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."
Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Conclusion
Not everyone can partake of the overflowing season. In the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty. If you want to partake, you need to connect to the source and He is Jesus
Christ, without Him you cannot access the overflow. Give your life to Jesus to access the overflow. Without Him, you cannot retain the overflow.
Prayer Points
Elkanah could not help Hannah because God shut her womb. Humans cannot solve problems that only God can solve. Psalms 50:15 “And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.” Cry to God now for the grace to overflow.
Hannah wept every year at Shiloh. But one year, God remembered her and she received grace at Shiloh. Cry to God that this year, your visit to this mountain and every Shiloh will be met with the grace to overflow.
At Shiloh, Hannah was clear and specific about what she wanted (a male child). Tell God specifically what you want – marital, financial, academic, career, ministry… (Hebrews 11:6). But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Decree and declare that,
He or she who is satanically programmed to kill will not kill me. He or she who is demonically programmed to die I will not kill.
I will overflow on all sides and cause others around me to overflow in Jesus name.
Worship
I am grateful o Lord
And after the order of Numbers 6:24-26 I say to you,
The Lord bless you, and keep you: The Lord make his face shine upon you, and graciously bless you and yours with overflow: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. When I hear from you again it hall be praise reports of overflowing grace in Jesus majestic name! AMEN
