Theme: The Burden Bearer.

Pastor E.A Adeboye.

Isa 53v4-5

Isaiah 53:4-5 ASV

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Burden is load that Is forced on you,  attaches itself to you, not the one year are willing to carry.

2king 5 Namman was leprosy and there Is nothing he could do with it, it was a burden that cleaved to him. He has tried and has no solution.


The widow of Zarepath became poor because of sin of leadership of the nation

Who is the burden bearer.

He is the one who come along to say I will bear it.

Matthew 27v32.  Jesus was led to Golgota,  carrying the heavy cross after he has been thoroughly beaten and he was tired,  suddenly,  Simon cerene, came along and he was forced to bear the burden.

Career Burden

Several people might have overtaken you, my father says this year's things nwil change all your allocation of blessings shall be delivered.  In Luke 5, Peter and his company were failing career wise, despite he was a professional. When God stepped in he caught net breaking fishes , he had to beg his colleagues to he him pull to the sore. I can tell you today that every mountain blocking your way shall be removed, moved, transfered because the burden bearer will step in.

For Buden to the lifted

1. You must admit you have a burden, if you are satisfied with the burden no problem,  but if you are tired you cry to the Lord. If you don't agree you have a burden the burden bearer won't help you. 

2. You must look for help Rev 3v17 , John 5v3-9 Do you want to be whole,  not everyone want to helped, healthy,  well, free,  that is why Jesus always ask.

3.You cry to the burden bearer until he hears you. Mark 10v46-52
Mattew 15 v21-28

After the burden is gone what next.
1. You must learn to praise him.
Act 3, the man at the beautiful gate was walking, leaping and praising God.

2.You must give him thanks  Generously Luke 17v12-19 Jesus cleans 10 lepers, leprosy has with it all types of burden, physical,  marital , material, spiritual ..After Jesus healed them out of the 10, only 1 came back to give thanks.

3. Worship him perpetually. Namman in 2king 5, went back to the man of God to give thanks. You need an altar s place where you can worship God.

4. Server Him with a that is in you . Luke 8,

5. Testifying , witnessing must become incurable Mark 5 18-20 .The more you testify the more your blessings. Speak for Jesus.

6. Put him first in everything Gen 22v1-18
He tested Abraham to know who is first.
Proverb 3v8-10

7. Abide.  Mark 10, Batelomew followed Jesus in the way.

He said he will increase your anointing so rhat you can serve me better and work miracles for me.

I will not only pull than the wall , i will ensure it is not raised again .

Mattew 11v28-30 He gave an invitation several years ago, the invitation is still valid now. Come unto me all you that labor and are heavily laden, my burden is light , my yoke is heavy.  Come new management, invite Jesus into your life now. Pray to him right now, and he will save you and give you a new beginning.
