I will conclude my discussion on the Unlimited God today by telling you about an incident that happened in 1983 when we were about to hold the first-ever RCCG Annual Convention in Redemption City. The city, which we called Redemption Camp back then, was a jungle, and we were just trying to erect some structures when, suddenly, a flock of tiny birds came in their hundreds of thousands and covered every tree around us. Within a day, they had eaten all the leaves on the trees and messed the whole place with their faeces, creating an awful stench. The birds were so tiny, and we didn’t know how to get rid of them. When I told God about the issue, He said, “Leave it to Me.” Shortly after, dozens of mighty eagles came from nowhere and started killing and eating the birds. After a few hours, none of the little birds remained, and the eagles flew away. I decree that God will send help to you from places you least expect, in Jesus’ name.
When we wanted to start a church in Israel, I told one of the ambassadors to the country about our intention. On hearing this, he laughed and said, “Everybody knows that America is best friends with Israel, yet the government of Israel has told America, ‘Since you’re a Christian country, you can have your diverse denominations, but we don’t want to hear anything about Pentecostals in our country.’ If they said that to America, and you are coming from Nigeria of all places, what are the chances that they’ll allow you to set up a branch of your church in their country?” I told him that my case would be different. Being a diplomat, he immediately took a diplomatic approach with me and asked what I wanted him to do for me, as he could clearly see that I was determined to go ahead with the application. I asked him to help me submit an application letter to the government, and he did. Six months later, we were registered. Our God is unlimited in influence and authority; He can bypass government decrees and policies for your sake.
Beloved, if you are faced with challenges that seem insurmountable, just remember that you serve a God who made a way through the Red Sea for the Israelites to pass through (Exodus 14:21–22). Call on Him in faith today, and He will remove all obstacles hindering your progress and grant you victory on all sides.
