THE SUPREMACY OF THE SOVEREIGN SERIES: 2026
THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY AND GLOBAL DOMINION
AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: DEUTERONOMY 12–15
FIRE SCRIPTURE: DANIEL 7:13–14
MEMORY VERSE: “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” (EXODUS 3:14)
I. THE CHRISTIAN DISTINCTIVE: THE ETERNAL “I AM” (EXODUS 3:14)
The hallmark of a believer’s confidence in 2026 is the recognition of God’s absolute, self-existing authority. As we conclude this seven-part series on the Unlimited God, we arrive at the root of His power: His identity. When Moses asked for a name to present to the captives in Egypt, God did not give a title based on human hierarchy. He said, “I AM THAT I AM.” This is the name of a God who is not limited by time, geography, or human permission. In a world of shifting political alliances and changing global demographics, the “Ancient of Days” remains the constant. As Daniel 7:14 reveals, He has been given a dominion that is everlasting—a kingdom that all people, nations, and languages must serve. This is not a suggestion; it is a spiritual reality. When you walk with the Unlimited God, you are backed by the highest office in the universe.
The Survival Mandate of the Kingdom Citizen:
To Defy Intimidation: When you know the “I AM” sent you, the “I am nots” of the world lose their power.
To Navigate Global Shifts: In an era of rapid change, the believer relies on a dominion that “shall not pass away.”
To Access Supernatural Help: Because His authority is universal, He can command the elements and the hearts of men to work in your favor.
II. COMMANDING THE ELEMENTS: THE LESSON OF THE EAGLES
In the early days of Redemption City—what we then called Redemption Camp—we faced a situation that seemed small but was overwhelming. It was 1983, and we were preparing for our first-ever Annual Convention. The camp was a jungle, and we were struggling to build. Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of tiny birds descended, covering every tree.
In nature, a “flock” usually numbers in the dozens or hundreds, but this was a plague of biblical proportions. Within 24 hours, they had stripped the foliage and filled the air with an unbearable stench. We had no technology or manpower to clear them. I took the matter to the Unlimited God. His response was simple: “Leave it to Me.”
What followed was a display of ecological authority. Dozens of mighty eagles appeared—predators that do not usually hunt in such coordinated groups—and cleared the sky. Within hours, the problem was gone.
Prophetic Decree: I decree that God will send “eagles” of help to your life from places you least expect. Where you are outnumbered, the Unlimited God will send a superior force to grant you victory, in Jesus’ name.
III. BYPASSING GLOBAL DECREES: THE ISRAEL TESTIMONY
The authority of the Unlimited God is not restricted to the animal kingdom; it extends to the highest corridors of human government. When we sought to register a branch of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Israel, the human “experts” said it was impossible.
The Diplomatic Impossibility:
An ambassador explained the geopolitical reality to me. Israel, despite its close ties with the United States, had been firm in its stance against certain Pentecostal registrations. The logic was: “If the government of Israel told the mighty United States ‘No,’ why would they listen to a request coming from Nigeria?”
The Supernatural Result:
I told the ambassador that my case would be different because I serve the “I AM.” We submitted the application. In a move that defied standard diplomatic expectations and historical precedents, the church was registered within six months.

The Lesson: God is the “King of Kings.” He holds the hearts of kings in His hand and turns them like rivers of water (Proverbs 21:1). He can bypass government policies, immigration decrees, and institutional biases to establish His purpose in your life.
IV. STATISTICAL REALITY VS. SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY
In 2026, we often look at data to determine our chances of success. However, God is not limited by statistics or racial and national demographics.
Global Religious Landscape Data (approximate 2026 trends):
| Category | Statistic |
| :— | :— |
| Global Population | ~8.2 Billion |
| Christian Population | ~2.6 Billion (31.7%) |
| Pentecostal/Charismatic | ~680 Million |
| Unreached People Groups | ~7,400 groups |
While statistics show that Pentecostalism is one of the fastest-growing movements globally, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, human systems often try to create “ceilings” based on a person’s country of origin or racial background. But the Unlimited God does not recognize these ceilings. Whether you are from a “Third World” nation or a marginalized group, your authority is not derived from your passport; it is derived from the Kingdom of God.
V. COMPREHENSIVE Q&A: WALKING IN THE UNLIMITED (EXODUS 14:21)
Q1: What should I do when I am faced with a “Red Sea” situation?
Answer: In Exodus 14, the Israelites were trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the sea. Human logic said “surrender or drown.” But the Unlimited God used a wind to part the waters. Your “wind” today is your faith and your prayer. Call on Him, and He will make a way where there is no path.
Q2: Why does God sometimes wait until the “Convention” is near before He sends help?
Answer: Often, God allows the situation to peak so that His glory can be undeniable. If we had cleared the birds ourselves, we would have praised our own ingenuity. Because the eagles came, we had to praise the “I AM.”
Q3: Can God really change a government policy for just one person?
Answer: Yes. Throughout history, God has moved the hearts of emperors for the sake of His people. Nehemiah, Esther, and Daniel all experienced this. He is the God of all people, nations, and languages.
VI. REFLECTION & PRAYER SUITE
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: When you have a “God-connection,” you can bypass any “man-made” rejection.
HYMNAL SELECTION: All Hail the Power of Jesus‘ Name! Let every tongue and every tribe responsive to His call, to Him all majesty ascribe, and crown Him Lord of all!
PRAYER POINT:
Unlimited Father, the I AM THAT I AM, I thank You because You are not limited by human laws or natural plagues. Please take away every limitation—be it financial, institutional, or spiritual—that has kept me from enjoying Your fullness. Open doors that men have shut and silence every “creditor” or “plague” in my life, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
FINAL THOUGHT: The series on the Unlimited God concludes here, but His work in your life is just beginning. Crown Him “Lord of All” in your heart, and He will crown you with victory in the world.
