ASKING, SEEKING AND KNOCKING FOR GREAT OUTPOURING MT7V7,8; JN 16V24; 1THESS 5V17. O outpouring is something done in an extravagant way. Tonight is my night: - all my prayers are going to be answered in Jesus name.  He answered Moses : Ex 15v25  He answered Hannah : 1Sam 1v27  He answered Elijah 1Kg 18v37,38  He answered Hezk 2Kg 19v19,20 ( Isah 65v24 )  He answered Jehoshaphat 2Chr 18v31  He answered the early Church Acts 4v31  This is your opportunity; He will surely answer you in Jesus name.  This message is divided into three parts:-  ASKING FOR FULLER JOY IN A PROPAGATED OUTPOURING  SEEKING GOD’S FAVOUR IN A PROMISED OUTPOURING  KNOCKING HEAVEN’S DOOR IN A PRIVILEGED OUTPOURING (1) ASKING FOR FULLER JOY IN A PROPAGATED OUTPOURING: ( MT 7V7; JN 16V24; 1 JN 1V4; MT 6V33) Repentance is the first thing, the very key that unlocks every other door. It is a propagated outpouring because it’s like a plant who’s fruits never runs dry….. 2Kg 4v1-7: pot of oil miraculously used to settled a widows woman’s debt by Elisha Lk 18v39> this man was blind, but when he heard of Jesus passing by he started calling on the Lord, some said he should hold his peace but he cried more and he got his miracle. You will get your own in Jesus name. (2) SEEKING GOD’S FAVOUR IN A PROMISED OUTPOURING: (MT 7V7; JOEL 2V28; ISAH 32V15-18.) All the promises God made for His children are assessable through faith, for there is nothing too hard for God. There are great assurances in the promises of God, He did it for the Israel of old, and He will surely do it for the present days Israel of God.  His promises cannot fail> 1Kg 8  Sufficiency of Divine Grace > 2Cor 12v9  Comfort of God’s presence > Isah 43v2  Power for service > Jh 14v12  Final deliverance from sorrow and pain >Re 21v4. (3) KNOCKING HEAVEN’S DOOR IN A PRIVILEGED OUTPOURING: (MT 7V7,8;)  It’s a privileged being a child of God……  Retreat time is a privileged opportunity for a great outpouring……..  The retreat time is an opportunity to really knock at Heaven’s door……  The life of Jacob never remain the same when he knocked at Heaven’s door  Jabez turned his destiny around through knocking at Heaven’s door  The widow woman in Lk 18v1- was avenged of her adversary when she kept knocking  Hannah became a mother of children as she availed herself of the opportunity of knocking the Heaven’s door at Shiloh  Peter was miraculously delivered from prison by the angel of God when the Church knocks on his behalf.  Iron Gate opened on its own accord when the Church knocked in Acts 12v10.  Acts 12v7> chains fell off from Peters hands as a result of knocking Heaven’s door…..  Tonight is my night how about you?
