While accomplishments could be defined as the act of carrying out or achieving; something achieved or successfully completed; gained skills or talent; attainment of social grace, style, and poise. After God ordered Elijah to anoint Elisha as his successor; Elisha left his lucrative mechanized farming and became a servant to Elijah. He would run errands for him and take care of his master. The time came when God was prepared to take Elijah away; Elisha’s contemporaries began to make mockery of him that he would soon be like them, but Elisha was determined not to remain as an ordinary son of a prophet; but as someone spectacular. So he demanded for the double portion of the anointing of God upon his master. The bible records that Elisha was able to fulfil the condition set by Elijah and so received the double portion of his master’s anointing! The sons of prophet that thought Elisha was already stranded at the other side of Jordan bowed before him and called him ‘Master’ after he parted the Jordan River and walked through it on dry ground! (2 Kings 2: 1-15). In the year 2012, the Spirit of God says He will make us to achieve feats that are astounding; gain talents and skills that are staggering; and enjoy attainments of social grace, style and poise that are startling!

Overseer RCCG Worldwide) NOVEMBER 2012 THEME: DIVINE ELEVATION THE RCCG (EVERLASTING FATHER’S ASSEMBLY) 2012 PROPHECY THEME: OUR YEAR OF ASTOUNDING ACCOMPLISHMENTS THE RCCG (WORLDWIDE) 2012 PROPHECY THEME: OUR YEAR OF NEW THINGS FROM THE PULPIT CONGREGATIONAL HYMN G y Pastor Samuel Obafaiye OD has a way of elevating His children. Before such people were born, He makes sure He had invested something into their destiny, so that at a point in their lifetime on earth, He then calls them; empowers them; justifies their calling and use them for His own glory. Later He then glorifies them (Rom. 8:30). In the bible, children of God like Jacob who at a time was a fugitive was elevated by God to become founder of the 12 tribes of Israel (Gen. 32:10); David was elevated from a shepherd boy to becoming the king of Israel (Psalm 78:70-71); Peter, Andrew, James and John from illiterate fishermen to global reformers who restored lost souls to Jehovah. From very low estates, these people were elevated by God that some were almost thought to be a god. Moses was a slave boy who became the deliverer of Israel from bondage and terror to Egypt. Paul and Barnabas were empowered to do creative miracles to the extent that the people of Lystra wanted to offer sacrifices to them as gods! The little errand boy Samuel was elevated by God to become the next High Priest and kingmaker in Israel. This month of November, God will begin to carry out His predestined plans of elevation in our lives as His children in Jesus name. He will equip and empowers us for the lifting that is coming; He will in plain terms justify our callings; and He personally will supervise the upliftment in Jesus name. B - By Minister Caroline Ndlovu E How do you become a candidate for divine elevation PRAYER POINTS LEVATION is the height to which something is elevated or to which it rises. God has planned good destinies for us. Paul in Galatians 1:5 states that God separated him from his mother’s womb. Jer 1:4 also states that before he was formed, God knew him. Our God is a good God and He has good plans for our lives. In 1 Chro 1 :7 we find the account of Solomon. He was not the first born and his mother was not the principal wife but he was the one chosen by God to be the heir and not only that but God chose him to be the one who would build him a house of worship. God chose you for favour before you were born. Discover the purpose God has for you and indeed you will begin to operate in the divine elevation that God has for you. You need to discover the goodness of God and you will find this in his word .His names show his goodness; He is Jehovah Jireh, the good Sherperd. The all sufficient One . We are not here by accident of birth. Eph 1:4-5. When you realize this you will be positioning yourself for divine elevation. Since God has such a good plan for our lives, what is hindering us from operating at the capacity which God intended? Firstly because of sin .When you are transgressing the law of God you are not positioning yourself to be a candidate of Divine elevation. Secondly because some people have allowed themselves to be manipulated by the deceiver to abort their own destinies. There are people who employ evil forces to achieve certain ends. When you use physical methods to deal with spiritual problems, it hinders you from being divinely elevated. ? You must be born again and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of your life. You must denounce every covenant that you might have entered into ignorantly .If you have used objects for bathing, or been made to throw things in the river, you need to renounce all these. You need to start exercising faith in God the Almighty as He has said in his word that He is the God of all flesh and nothing is too difficult for him. Renew your mind constantly with the Word of God and His promises. There is power in the Word of God .The words spoken into the spiritual atmosphere, they achieve a purpose. God has said in his word that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you, you shall condemn. You need to open your mouth and denounce every negative word spoken against you. Mark 11vs 23. Father remove every hindrance standing against me for divine elevation. Father I renounce every covenant that I have made or that has been made on my behalf that does not honour you. Every plant in my life that God has not planted let it be uprooted by fire. Father I renounce every word that has been spoken against my destiny. in Jesus Name. Father send me help from unusual sources in Jesus Name so that I can be divinely elevated in Jesus Name. Excerpts of a sermon delivered by Minister Caroline Ndlovu at Everlasting Father’s Arena, York on November 4, 2012 Our God is A Good God TRUST AND OBEY When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, What a glory He sheds on our way! While we do His good will, He abides with us still, And with all who will trust and obey. Refrain Trust and obey, for there’s no other way To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies, But His smile quickly drives it away; Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear, Can abide while we trust and obey. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, But our toil He doth richly repay; Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross, But is blessed if we trust and obey. But we never can prove the delights of His love Until all on the altar we lay; For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows, Are for them who will trust and obey. Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet. Or we’ll walk by His side in the way. What He says we will do, where He sends we will go; Never fear, only trust and obey.
