During the Day 5 Evening Session of the RCCG Holy Ghost Convention 2023, Pastor Adeboye delivered a profound message emphasizing the importance of not putting limitations on God. He stressed that God’s capabilities go far beyond our imagination, as He can achieve exceedingly and abundantly more than what we ask or even think of. Pastor Adeboye urged the congregation not to underestimate God’s power by requesting only minor things.
Drawing from the account in 2 Kings 4:1-7, where a woman collected empty vessels and the flow of oil ceased once there were no more vessels left, Pastor Adeboye highlighted how God had instructed her to gather many empty vessels. However, after a while, she felt it was enough and the oil stopped pouring.
Pastor Adeboye conveyed that it brings discomfort to God when we present Him with trivial requests. He explained that sometimes our appeals are so minor that God might feel slighted. He encouraged the congregation to keep this perspective in mind during their prayers and to avoid seeking only small favors.
In essence, Pastor Adeboye’s sermon underscores the boundless power of God and calls on us to have faith in His capacity to abundantly provide for us. Rather than confining our requests to the trivial, we should trust in His ability to exceed our expectations and fulfill our needs in ways that go beyond our imagination.
