Speaker 1: We want to read the scripture.
Speaker 1: It's in 2 Peter, chapter 1, verse 2 to 4.
Speaker 1: It's a blessing to be back here after a while.
Speaker 1: In the Wennis Day prayer service, namahirru Dikatikat Jinalaesu, namahirru Receive greetings from all over the world, where I went here and there.
Speaker 1: It's a blessing to be back.
Speaker 1: Thank you for praying for me while I was on leave.
Speaker 1: I also want to thank God that God has given us the theme vision for 2024.
Speaker 1: And we really want to appreciate the prayers that God has answered and we thank God.
Speaker 1: I am reading 2 Peter Tell your neighbor me, peter Siokwenda.
Speaker 1: So 2 Peter, chapter 1, verse 2 to 4.
Speaker 1: We are talking about this month.
Speaker 1: What are we watching this month?
Speaker 1: Empowered, empowered strategy.
Speaker 1: So remember that in your mind.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this in verse 2.
Speaker 1: Grace and peace be yours, how In abundance, through the knowledge of God and of Jesus, our Lord.
Speaker 1: Then it says this verse 2.
Speaker 1: Verse 3.
Speaker 1: His divine power has given us a few things, has given us everything.
Speaker 1: So when you're asking God, oh God, you have not given me.
Speaker 1: Oh God, what kind of strategy do you want me to have?
Speaker 1: The Bible is saying God has given us everything.
Speaker 1: His divine power has given us everything we need for our godly life through our knowledge.
Speaker 1: So we need knowledge through our knowledge of him, who called us by his own glory and goodness.
Speaker 1: Then he says through these, he has given us his very great and precious promises.
Speaker 1: Not only have we received divine power, we have also received great and precious promises so that, through them, we may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
Speaker 1: And so, when talking about strategies today, I want to talk about equipped with empowered strategies.
Speaker 1: You have been equipped many times.
Speaker 1: You don't realize it because you lacked the knowledge, you did not have the information.
Speaker 1: But you have strategies.
Speaker 1: God has equipped us so that we are able to live the Christian life effectively.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor you are a very powerful person, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: You know, these are some of the things we tend not to think about, because we believe about everything we don't have and we forget what we actually have.
Speaker 1: You are a very powerful person because the Bible is saying his divine power has given us everything we need for life in godliness.
Speaker 1: Last Sunday I was talking about believing.
Speaker 1: One of the strange things that has happened in the Christian life is that we are believers by default.
Speaker 1: Hello, even though we carry the name believers, we really are not believers, because believing is not a noun, believing is a verb, it is a doing word, and so when the Bible talks about believers, it means that you're actively believing God for something.
Speaker 1: Believing is not an ascent to a statement or a fact.
Speaker 1: In fact, here on last Sunday I was talking about, there are people who believe in God and yet they are deceived because they really don't believe in God.
Speaker 1: They believe in the concept of a God, they believe in the idea, but they don't believe in a person.
Speaker 1: For example, ken Rapando was here and we may look at him and all we see is a decon.
Speaker 1: That's a concept.
Speaker 1: All we see is a person.
Speaker 1: All we see is somebody who led us in prayer, but that's the idea you have.
Speaker 1: You don't know him, and the only way of getting to know him, beyond the concept of some of the names he carries, is to get close to him and actually begin to have a relationship with him, and in knowing him, you are able to now believe in Ken Rapando.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
Speaker 1: And many times, the reason why we go through many challenges is because all we are holding on thinking is God Cumbic is just ideas and concepts of who God is.
Speaker 1: But we have we don't have a connection with this court.
Speaker 1: The Bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge.
Speaker 1: They don't know God.
Speaker 1: Daniel said the people who know their God shall be strong and do exploits.
Speaker 1: Because if you know God and you really get to know this God, there's no demon who can sit on you.
Speaker 1: And yet you have Christians who, every day, they confess the devil is after them.
Speaker 1: Oh, the devil is after me.
Speaker 1: Oh, you know.
Speaker 1: There are about ten demons who show up in my bedroom.
Speaker 1: My friend, if you got to know God, that demons would know that you know God and they would not come close to you.
Speaker 1: How many of you in your right mind you'd meet one of the president's sons and slap him.
Speaker 1: Either you'd be thoroughly ignorant of who that person is, but if you knew who that person is, you would not there slap him because that person is connected to somebody who can turn your life the other way around.
Speaker 1: My friend, you are connected to God, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: You're connected to God, and the devil cannot just pitter-pitter around you and slap you the only time he does that.
Speaker 1: He knows that you do not know who you are.
Speaker 1: You are very powerful.
Speaker 1: Do not define yourself according to the amount of money you don't have.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm broke so I cannot even wake up in the morning.
Speaker 1: My friend, you're the richest person in the world, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: But you see, it is how we believe, because many of us who have faith don't believe.
Speaker 1: We are not believers.
Speaker 1: And I was sharing on Sunday because this I'm beginning to feel this thing very strongly in my life that if Christians are going to rise in us and to handle the situations of life in this current world, they must go beyond being men and women of faith and become men and women who believe, because faith is like Lake Victoria, and that's what I was telling them.
Speaker 1: Faith is like Victoria.
Speaker 1: We all have faith.
Speaker 1: There's a reservoir in us called a lake.
Speaker 1: It is called faith God.
Speaker 1: The Bible says God has apportioned each one of us a measure of faith each one of us have.
Speaker 1: So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor you thought they didn't have faith, but God has just confirmed I have faith.
Speaker 1: Just tell them.
Speaker 1: But faith is a lake.
Speaker 1: So don't confuse faith and believing.
Speaker 1: You can have faith and die in poverty because you don't believe that God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory.
Speaker 1: And now we must reach a stage where we have to activate our the ability to believe.
Speaker 1: I shared something and I'm just repeating it for some of us who are not here on Sunday Matthew, chapter 9, verse 27.
Speaker 1: Jesus meets two blind men.
Speaker 1: And when Jesus meets these two blind men, this is what he does as he interacts with these men.
Speaker 1: It says as Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him.
Speaker 1: Number one they were doing the right thing.
Speaker 1: What were they doing?
Speaker 1: They were following him and many of us, we followed God, but we are totally blind.
Speaker 1: Hello, as Jesus went from there, two blind men followed him, calling out have mercy on us, son of David.
Speaker 1: Number two they had the right theology.
Speaker 1: They were following the right person, but they had the right theology, but they were still blind.
Speaker 1: Then the Bible says when he had gone indoors because Jesus now went from outside and went indoors when he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him and then Jesus gave them an interview.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor you need an interview.
Speaker 1: Because Jesus wanted to assess do these men really, are they ready for a miracle?
Speaker 1: And the Bible says when he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him and he asked them one statement Do you believe that I am able to do this?
Speaker 1: Do you believe you have followed me?
Speaker 1: You have.
Speaker 1: You have right theology of who I am.
Speaker 1: You have even gone farther and entered this house.
Speaker 1: And then Jesus said there is something that can only turn your situation around.
Speaker 1: And he says do you believe?
Speaker 1: Can you beyond your faith?
Speaker 1: Your faith has caused you to follow.
Speaker 1: Your faith has called you to say the right things.
Speaker 1: Your faith has brought you into this house, but now I want you to release this lake and make it become a river, because Ken Rapando, like Victoria, has never gone to Cairo.
Speaker 1: The only way, like Victoria, reaches Cairo is through what River?
Speaker 1: Nile.
Speaker 1: So you can have believing and believing, you can have faith.
Speaker 1: Faith will not take you anywhere, but out of your faith, you can begin to actively believe and when you believe, it will take you where you need to go.
Speaker 1: While I'm on this story of believing, let me tell you this our believing does not solve all our problems.
Speaker 1: Our believing needs to be focused.
Speaker 1: For example, you have Christians who have faith and they are saved.
Speaker 1: They believed and they got saved because the Bible says for by grace.
Speaker 1: We have been saved through faith, for by grace we have been saved.
Speaker 1: Through what Faith?
Speaker 1: And this is not our own doing.
Speaker 1: It is the gift of God, not because of works, lest any man should boast.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you this you can be half faith and you get saved, but you can die broke.
Speaker 1: Your salvation does not make you rich.
Speaker 1: You can be an intercessor praying for finances and your house will be locked because of rent areas.
Speaker 1: Am I talking to somebody?
Speaker 1: Yes, the only way that you can be an intercessor is to know that there is believing for interceding, but there is believing for finances and there is believing for healing, and there is believing for breakthrough and there is believing for.
Speaker 1: That's why, when we talk about strategy, there are strategies for every item.
Speaker 1: Don't use one strategy to handle everything, so look for that strategy.
Speaker 1: The Bible says ask and you will receive.
Speaker 1: Seek and you'll find Some things require you knocking doors and the doors will be opened for you.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor one more time and tell your neighbor one strategy does not answer every problem and that is why we need diligent believers.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, you need to be a diligent believer.
Speaker 1: In other words, you don't need to be lazy.
Speaker 1: As a Christian, you have to search and find out.
Speaker 1: Why is my road blocked?
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 1: Am I not doing Because the Bible says his divine power has given me everything I need for every good work?
Speaker 1: What is this I am missing?
Speaker 1: Ask yourself those questions Instead of saying oh, it is the devil, who was?
Speaker 1: Who was?
Speaker 1: Who was shut my door?
Speaker 1: Oh, it is.
Speaker 1: It is my generational caste, my friend.
Speaker 1: It may not be those things.
Speaker 1: It may be, just you have not found the strategy for that particular situation.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, for those who have vehicles, does the key to your vehicle open?
Speaker 1: Also open the key to your house?
Speaker 1: But how would you find somebody standing in front of their house with their car key, which is automatic, trying to open the door, and the door is not opening?
Speaker 1: They are basically using the wrong key.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor you could use a wrong strategy and you're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: That is why, as I'm speaking to you tonight and this month, as we're talking about strategy, let me tell you this the reason why Daniel was able to survive the regimes of nearly four kings he knew what to do, because the people who know their God shall be Strong and they shall do exploits.
Speaker 1: He knew what to do when his friends were in the fiery furnace.
Speaker 1: He knew what to do when he was thrown into the den of lions.
Speaker 1: Each situation required a different strategy.
Speaker 1: And all those strategies, god has placed them in the word of God.
Speaker 1: And then the Bible says his divine power has given you everything that you need for life in godliness.
Speaker 1: In other words, as a Christian, you cannot leave this world and be a failure, because you are not created a failure, you are created a success, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: I was telling people the other day and I was telling them don't try to achieve success.
Speaker 1: You are not created to achieve success.
Speaker 1: How can you run after success when you yourself are already a success?
Speaker 1: You are a success.
Speaker 1: So you must believe that, you must understand that you are a success.
Speaker 1: Don't try to achieve success.
Speaker 1: When I failed my form six and in March I got an F in chemistry, I got the immediate neighbor of that F and then I got another F.
Speaker 1: I got another serious E.
Speaker 1: By the way, the way they used to do, you either got an A, a, b, a, c, a, d, an E, an F.
Speaker 1: I got this side.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor hallelujah.
Speaker 1: In March I got an F.
Speaker 1: In chemistry I got an E and in physics I got an E.
Speaker 1: In other words, I was totally finished at that level.
Speaker 1: But let me ask you had I failed my exams?
Speaker 1: Was I a failure?
Speaker 1: Thank you, it was just a paper that I woke up on the wrong side of things.
Speaker 1: That failed me because you have seen some of your candidates, sometimes in class eight.
Speaker 1: They are so ready, so ready, so ready, and the day they go sit on the exams they have a mental block and just because of that they fail their exams.
Speaker 1: And they are not failures, they are a success.
Speaker 1: And that is why we pray for them that the devil will not create these mental blocks in their lives.
Speaker 1: They will remember some of those things and remember we used to go into an exam room and just the fact that you entered an exam room and it is arranged in a way you have never been used to it.
Speaker 1: You are sitting alone and everybody is sitting on a straight line like this.
Speaker 1: Papers that you have never looked like seen before are in front of you.
Speaker 1: My friend, when you start, even where it is written, write your name.
Speaker 1: You even don't remember your name.
Speaker 1: You start wondering Jinaan, go, ninaani, meme ninaani, and you remember, when you start an exam and we used to start it Question number one you look at question number one and you remember I did not read that one.
Speaker 1: Then you go to question number two.
Speaker 1: I even didn't revise that one.
Speaker 1: By the time you are going to number three, your blood is beginning to rise up and your systems are beginning to lock.
Speaker 1: This is what I used to do.
Speaker 1: I just go to question number one, that one, I will come back.
Speaker 1: Question number two, that one, I will come back.
Speaker 1: Question number three, I will come back.
Speaker 1: And then I reach number four.
Speaker 1: I said, ah, that one I can do.
Speaker 1: When I do it and I do it well, it unlocks my brain to do question number one.
Speaker 1: And I found out.
Speaker 1: Allah, I knew this, it was just my mind that was blocked.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this.
Speaker 1: I'm saying all this to tell you this no one is sitting in this service today.
Speaker 1: No one watching us online was created a failure.
Speaker 1: You are a success.
Speaker 1: An orange and I just shared somewhere an orange that is fully blown it's an orange fruit does not try to achieve the ability to have orange juice.
Speaker 1: An orange does not need to achieve anything.
Speaker 1: An orange just needs to be expressed.
Speaker 1: An orange needs to express itself.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor you need to express your success.
Speaker 1: And how do you express your success?
Speaker 1: By being squeezed.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor you need to be squeezed.
Speaker 1: It's just like mothers when they express the milk, the milk comes out.
Speaker 1: The milk is already there.
Speaker 1: They're expressing the milk.
Speaker 1: When you squeeze an orange, sprite doesn't come out Hallelujah, because it's an orange.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this when life squeezes you, success comes out, and it was put there by God Himself.
Speaker 1: And that is why, when you begin to look at things from that different angle, then you are able to begin to pick the strategies you need for a particular situation and a circumstance.
Speaker 1: You have divine power.
Speaker 1: Let me read something I got from a book which I'm reading.
Speaker 1: It's a book that I have, but I pulled it out of the library.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting book and I shared it on Sunday.
Speaker 1: It says this know your limits, by a man called John Mason.
Speaker 1: He says know your limits.
Speaker 1: And then he put a hyphen Know your limits, then ignore them.
Speaker 1: So don't get to know your limits and get stuck with those limits.
Speaker 1: Know them and then do what Ignore them.
Speaker 1: When the children of Israel went to the promised land as 10 spies the 12 spies.
Speaker 1: What did they see?
Speaker 1: They saw giants, but what they forgot is that those were not the giants.
Speaker 1: The 12 spies were the giants in the land.
Speaker 1: But then they went away.
Speaker 1: Away and said that we are what Grasshoppers and we also look like grasshoppers in those people's eyes and just their perspective destroyed them.
Speaker 1: They had a wrong strategy and it was a strategy of unbelief.
Speaker 1: It was a strategy of not releasing their faith in God because these giants did not have the God they have.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this this world does not have the God you have.
Speaker 1: So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor you're looking at a giant in the land.
Speaker 1: Now I know some of you did not open your mouth, so I want you to open your mouth.
Speaker 1: Maybe your neighbor is very far, so I want you to just say it If your neighbor is very fatally to yourself and say I am the giant in the land.
Speaker 1: Amen, because that's who you are.
Speaker 1: But let me read something here that is interesting.
Speaker 1: He said sometimes you just need to be ready about the situations of life.
Speaker 1: Be ready, be prepared.
Speaker 1: That's why this Wednesday prayer service is a time to just enable you to be ready to handle the issues that are out there in the marketplace.
Speaker 1: So listen to some of the things he says.
Speaker 1: He says this To one person.
Speaker 1: Now, this is how sometimes you look at your world.
Speaker 1: To one person, the world is desolate, dull and empty.
Speaker 1: To another, the same world looks rich, interesting and full of meaning, and you're looking at the same world.
Speaker 1: He goes on to say this Eyes that look are common.
Speaker 1: This was written by a man called J Oswald Sanders.
Speaker 1: He says eyes that look are common.
Speaker 1: Eyes that see are rare.
Speaker 1: Let me talk to some intelligent people on this side, so let me read it one more time.
Speaker 1: It says this Eyes that look are what Are common.
Speaker 1: Because we look, we look, we look, we're always looking.
Speaker 1: Eyes that see after looking are what Are rare.
Speaker 1: He goes on to say this how we position ourselves to see makes all the difference.
Speaker 1: You can never see the sunrise by looking to the west.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor foolishness out wisdom in.
Speaker 1: You cannot see the sunrise if you're looking where West.
Speaker 1: He goes on to say this that choice is not up to God, the choice is up to you.
Speaker 1: He goes on to say this if you look at life the wrong way, there is always cause for alarm.
Speaker 1: It is the same way.
Speaker 1: A twenty dollar bill can look so big when it goes to church Hello.
Speaker 1: A twenty dollar bill can look so big when it goes to church and so small when it goes to the mall Hello.
Speaker 1: He goes on to say this what you see depends mainly on what you look for.
Speaker 1: Some people complain because roses have thorns.
Speaker 1: Instead, be thankful that thorns have roses, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: And it is just a matter of believing.
Speaker 1: It's a matter of perspective, it's a matter of strategy.
Speaker 1: I wish I could read more of this, but I just need to read this bit so that you begin to realize sometimes the problem you face have nothing to do with God, have nothing to do with the devil.
Speaker 1: It has to do with your perspective.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You're a very powerful person.
Speaker 1: Let me try and convince the ones who are sitting with the pastor.
Speaker 1: You're a very powerful person.
Speaker 1: Let me talk to this team here.
Speaker 1: You are a very powerful person.
Speaker 1: Let me hear the voices here.
Speaker 1: You're a very powerful person and you know, sometimes you need to just say it, even if you don't feel it.
Speaker 1: It doesn't.
Speaker 1: You don't have to feel it, just declare it, because the fact from God's angle, is it is true?
Speaker 1: Did you know that your body is so amazing?
Speaker 1: Because every time you cut your nails, they grow back.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, they just grow back.
Speaker 1: How you don't know.
Speaker 1: But that's you.
Speaker 1: You cut your hair, it grows back.
Speaker 1: Now, of course, for some people, they cut the hair.
Speaker 1: That is it One answer.
Speaker 1: We will try to do it later.
Speaker 1: But thank God for technology and for innovation, because these days, you don't need hair.
Speaker 1: There is hair elsewhere.
Speaker 1: So people are thinkers and you're a thinker.
Speaker 1: You're a very powerful person and secondly, you're a very valuable person.
Speaker 1: I'm saying you're a very valuable person, very valuable.
Speaker 1: And then, thirdly, let me say this you're a very creative person.
Speaker 1: Why creative?
Speaker 1: You're creative because God created you, simple as that.
Speaker 1: And if God, the Creator, created something, then he created a very great thing.
Speaker 1: He was very creative.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm giving you this message, because I want something to shift in your system.
Speaker 1: I want something to change in your system because for the whole year, we've been talking about empowered this, empowered that, empowered this, empowered that.
Speaker 1: But I'm beginning to ask myself do you really believe it?
Speaker 1: Because if God is saying we are empowered, world changers, and in the month of August, you're still trying.
Speaker 1: In the month of October, you're still trying to catch up with that idea.
Speaker 1: My friend, I want to say this it is not too late.
Speaker 1: You can actually start now.
Speaker 1: You're a world changer.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to somebody.
Speaker 1: You're a world changer.
Speaker 1: Yes, it doesn't matter how many times you failed your driving test.
Speaker 1: Thank you, jesus.
Speaker 1: Some of us these days are super sports people.
Speaker 1: The way we drive those cars is like we never failed a driving test.
Speaker 1: The car does not drive you.
Speaker 1: You drive the car.
Speaker 1: May the world not drive you.
Speaker 1: You drive the world.
Speaker 1: Take it to the next level.
Speaker 1: Believe God for the impossible, in Jesus name, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: The world will always be there to spin around its axis, and that is it.
Speaker 1: But it is the people on that planet that make a difference.
Speaker 1: That is why your world changes.
Speaker 1: That's why God has given you everything that you need through His divine power.
Speaker 1: He has given you great and awesome promises and he has given you His divine nature.
Speaker 1: I don't know if let me go back because you did not come from monkeys.
Speaker 1: Let's go back because sometimes we believe that and we walk around like that you tell your neighbor hallelujah, look at that.
Speaker 1: 2 Peter, chapter 1, and I'm about to tie up my message and I'm just giving you the introduction.
Speaker 1: By the way, this is an entire introduction, but I believe something is rising in somebody and they're saying I am a different person.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this in 2 Peter, chapter 1, please get me there.
Speaker 1: 2 Peter, it says this chapter 1, verse 3 and 4, talks about His great and awesome promises.
Speaker 1: His divine power not will give us has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of Him, who called us by His own glory and goodness.
Speaker 1: Now go to the next verse.
Speaker 1: It says through these, he has given us His very great and precious promises so that through them you may participate in what you have a divine nature.
Speaker 1: You are of God.
Speaker 1: I'm saying you are of God.
Speaker 1: Sometimes English is a problem to some people, so let me help you.
Speaker 1: When a mother is making chapatis and you take the dough and you're making that chapati and you're finyangaring it Nifinyange, nifinyange.
Speaker 1: Onifanyekuwa chapati.
Speaker 1: Ambayonahitaji kuwa nifi?
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of that song?
Speaker 1: So while you are pushing this thing, it reaches a stage when you don't put the entire dough on the pan.
Speaker 1: You get a piece of it and you pull it out.
Speaker 1: That piece that you pulled out is not from the dough, it is off the dough, for English.
Speaker 1: This dough is God and God pulled you out of Him.
Speaker 1: You are of God.
Speaker 1: In other words, the ingredient in this chapati that now you are flattening and straightening has everything.
Speaker 1: This other one also has Nothing different.
Speaker 1: But imagine, while you are doing this, something pricked you in the dough.
Speaker 1: When something pricked you, then you started opening the dough, opening that dough, and then you found there was a nail that you did not see and you pulled out the nail.
Speaker 1: The nail is not off the dough, the nail is from the dough.
Speaker 1: You are not from God.
Speaker 1: You are of God.
Speaker 1: His wisdom, you have His knowledge, you have His success.
Speaker 1: You have the future he has in store for you.
Speaker 1: You have it because it is in the big dough.
Speaker 1: When you get the smaller one, it has everything this other one has.
Speaker 1: Are you in ittering something?
Speaker 1: You know some people.
Speaker 1: You have to talk about chapatis for them to understand some things.
Speaker 1: Otherwise these things of God are not clicking.
Speaker 1: They are just wondering when you are in Yambros, and I say manini.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you this.
Speaker 1: When I began to understand and learn some of these things, I began to say I am a very powerful person on this planet, I just did not know.
Speaker 1: I am a giant in this land, I just did not know.
Speaker 1: And people pay my own people perish for lack of knowledge.
Speaker 1: But I am telling myself I will no longer be ignorant and I will be diligent.
Speaker 1: The Bible says faith is the assurance of things hoped for, being convinced that things we do not see.
Speaker 1: Then it says in Hebrews 1, 116 and without faith it is impossible to please God.
Speaker 1: For whoever would draw near to God must do something, must believe, must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.
Speaker 1: My bread friend this month of October.
Speaker 1: Diligently seek God, dilligently, find out the strategies.
Speaker 1: If you are stuck somewhere, figure, don't try to tell God.
Speaker 1: God, break this door.
Speaker 1: Tell God there is something you have given me that I have not.
Speaker 1: I have not can open this door, but right now I don't have it.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to seek it.
Speaker 1: If I seek and I don't find, I'm going to ask for it.
Speaker 1: If I ask and I'm not given, I'm going to knock the door and that door will be open, for nothing will be impossible to those who believe Nothing.
Speaker 1: Nothing.
Speaker 1: Your breakthrough is inside you.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: But many times we always believe the opposite.
Speaker 1: We believe that it cannot be done.
Speaker 1: We believe it has never been done and so it cannot be done.
Speaker 1: Maybe the world is waiting for you now to believe it.
Speaker 1: Believe that you will go to Germany even though you don't know how to speak Germany.
Speaker 1: Somebody just missed that word.
Speaker 1: I'm saying believe you're going to go to Germany Even though you don't know how to speak German.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you just have to believe it.
Speaker 1: Ambrose said it and he will do it.
Speaker 1: You know, the Bible says believe God and you shall be established.
Speaker 1: Believe his prophets and you shall prosper.
Speaker 1: Some of us are just stuck with being established.
Speaker 1: We are just established because we are believing in God, and so we are established.
Speaker 1: We don't believe the prophets.
Speaker 1: So may quamah hapo hapo.
Speaker 1: If you're going to move forward, if you're going to prosper, go beyond believing God.
Speaker 1: Believe what his prophets say.
Speaker 1: And I'm talking to somebody one more time here Maybe you are online in Jesus' name, but I'm saying you can actually go to Germany this year, before it is ending, before you even know how to speak German.
Speaker 1: This year it can happen to you.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: I'm declaring a breakthrough to a sister right here now, in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: I receive it now.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, I'm saying you're going to go over that situation in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: You're not going under, you're going over.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: This is the prophetic word.
Speaker 1: This is now God not establishing you, but God wanting to prosper you.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, god is going to give you a job you do not even look for, that you don't even qualify for.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, that's the kind of God we serve.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, amen.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you the strategies that God has given us are amazing.
Speaker 1: Now, by the way, today all I have done as I prepare to pray, was just the introduction.
Speaker 1: Next week, I'll tell you what I wanted to say and, by the way, it is even on the screen, ebu.
Speaker 1: I'll put in your outline, because that's what I wanted to share with you, but God took me to another side.
Speaker 1: Ebu, let me outline, because we're talking about strategies.
Speaker 1: Amen, equipped with strategies.
Speaker 1: So what are those strategies?
Speaker 1: Just put them on that screen.
Speaker 1: Number one you're equipped with the strategy of releasing your light.
Speaker 1: You're equipped with a strategy of realigning.
Speaker 1: What's the realigning To righteousness, not light, that is a typo.
Speaker 1: Releasing your light, you're realigning your righteousness and, thirdly, you're reactivating your supernatural armor.
Speaker 1: That's what I was going to talk to you tonight, but God said something else, and so, if you want to catch up with the rest of the message, what do you think you should do?
Speaker 1: Come when Next Wednesday, give me one of those perks of, I believe, because I want to now pray.
Speaker 1: But did you, did you kneta something?
Speaker 1: Yes, the kneta is a Hebrew word.
Speaker 1: Tell them kneta is a Hebrew word that means to catch.
Speaker 1: Tell them it is a Hebrew word that means to catch.
Speaker 1: One of the things that we are making available is this perk.
Speaker 1: It's called, I believe, perk, and I believe perk has a card that I wrote inside and it's about believing, because we really need to help one another to begin to build up the ability to believe.
Speaker 1: So what God do you believe in?
Speaker 1: Is he a concept or is it actually the living God?
Speaker 1: Those are the things you should say, and there are two of things that I've shared, and this is a colorful card, and there are two of them in this pack, and there are two smaller cards, and one pack goes for 100 shillings.
Speaker 1: But I want to say that, even for those who are having, are going for class eight, are doing from four, about to do exams, if you do not know what success card to give them, here is one, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Here is one I believe, and it has 12 statements.
Speaker 1: I believe in God.
Speaker 1: I believe in vision, because if you don't have vision, you're stuck.
Speaker 1: I believe in talent.
Speaker 1: I believe in faith.
Speaker 1: I believe in today.
Speaker 1: I believe in revelation.
Speaker 1: By the way, don't wait for tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Your miracle starts when Now.
Speaker 1: I believe in love.
Speaker 1: And then number eight.
Speaker 1: I really like number eight because it says I believe in me.
Speaker 1: I believe in me.
Speaker 1: That is why I was saying you're a very powerful person.
Speaker 1: That's why I was saying you're a very valuable person.
Speaker 1: That's why I was saying you're a very creative person.
Speaker 1: You must believe in you.
Speaker 1: Nobody else will believe in you except you yourself.
Speaker 1: So believe it.
Speaker 1: I'm saying believe yourself.
Speaker 1: Oh, but you know I'm bros, I'm not a standard.
Speaker 1: This is my older brother.
Speaker 1: Forget your older brother.
Speaker 1: You, you, you, you.
Speaker 1: You are an amazing person.
Speaker 1: The next time you look at yourself in the mirror, don't start mourning and saying oh, oh, oh, oh.
Speaker 1: Now why was I given such a big nose.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe God gave you a big nose so that he knew you have small lungs, so he needed you to breathe more air and he gave you a bigger nose.
Speaker 1: I also, god knew that you needed a place to put spectacles.
Speaker 1: Thank you, jesus.
Speaker 1: You just have to see things from a different angle.
Speaker 1: So tell your neighbor I believe in me.
Speaker 1: Then it says I believe in redemption.
Speaker 1: Redemption, I said it is God giving me a second chance to win in this life.
Speaker 1: That is redemption God giving you a second chance to win in this life.
Speaker 1: And that is why I said if you are failed before you just failed a paper, you just failed an assignment you yourself are a success.
Speaker 1: Babies, as the toddlers, fail so many times.
Speaker 1: They stand up trying to walk, they fall.
Speaker 1: They stand up trying to walk, fail.
Speaker 1: If you give an appraisal that they will never walk, you're thinking in the wrong direction, because these same kids will be breaking marathon records.
Speaker 1: Their failure does not define them.
Speaker 1: They are a success.
Speaker 1: I believe I'm talking to somebody online and then it says I believe in courage, I believe in anointing, I believe in dominion, and this card is available.
Speaker 1: You can get a pack and you can share some of these things out there, but all I'm saying is this God has given us strategies, all that we need for life and what In godliness, and God placed you on this planet for a time such as this time.
Speaker 1: God, you were not born in 1920.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor I'm so glad I was not born in 1920.
Speaker 1: Because if you were, you would not have wifi.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, god knew.
Speaker 1: The only people who need to be born this season is you, because you can handle internet, you can handle all those things, and that's why you were not born in 1920.
Speaker 1: The people who were born in 1920 were born.
Speaker 1: Some of them have died.
Speaker 1: They finished their season, but your season is now.
Speaker 1: Fulfill your mandate.
Speaker 1: Now you better give yourself a big hand yourself and just celebrate, celebrate, celebrate who you are.
Speaker 1: Remember the nuggets I was reading from this book, and maybe I just need to read one more.
Speaker 1: Let me say this.
Speaker 1: Let me read this one that says you and I do not see things as they are.
Speaker 1: We see things as we are.
Speaker 1: You and I do not see things as they are.
Speaker 1: We see things as we are.
Speaker 1: You're the one who shapes what you see, and two people can be seeing an opportunity in front of them.
Speaker 1: One of them won't see it because it's not what they see.
Speaker 1: It's who they are.
Speaker 1: You and I do not see things as they are.
Speaker 1: We see things as we are.
Speaker 1: Then he says somewhere else he says this opportunity can be missed if you're broadcasting when you should be tuning in.
Speaker 1: Hello, I'm Peter Twengine.
Speaker 1: When opportunity knocks, some people object to the interruption.
Speaker 1: One of the greatest and most comforting truths is that when one door opens, another closes.
Speaker 1: But often we look so long and gratefully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that is now open for us.
Speaker 1: We are looking at this door that closed oh my God, it closed.
Speaker 1: Gume Goddha just brought another one.
Speaker 1: That is what it's open.
Speaker 1: See success where others see failure.
Speaker 1: Expect something good to happen.
Speaker 1: That expectation will energize your dreams and give them momentum.
Speaker 1: You will gain the advantage by doing things before they need to be done, positioning yourself ahead of time.
Speaker 1: You will enjoy ongoing success when you travel a little bit in advance of the crowd.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 1: The trouble with the future for most people is it arrives before they are ready for it.
Speaker 1: So prepare, get ready.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow there's a miracle coming your way.
Speaker 1: Ah, let me say that one more time.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow there's a miracle coming your way.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if somebody was already somebody sitting in the office?
Speaker 1: They are already writing a check with your name on it, and it is a check for 300,000 kinesiolans.
Speaker 1: But you see, if you didn't know, even if they are writing tomorrow, you may not expect it.
Speaker 1: But now that I have put the idea inside, you believe and get ready for your future, which is tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Otherwise it will pass you, even though it was coming your way.
Speaker 1: You've learned something.
Speaker 1: Yes, now stand up on your feet and just tell your neighbor I don't know what you remembered about the things Pastor has said.
Speaker 1: Then tell them.
Speaker 1: I hope you wrote them down.
Speaker 1: Then tell them don't worry, I will rewatch the service Now.
Speaker 1: That is a successful person thinking Amen, you are a success.
Speaker 1: You cannot imagine what God has in store for you, what I has not seen, what he has not heard, what the heart has not conceived.
Speaker 1: God has prepared for those who love him.
Speaker 1: Every time you pray, anticipate the answer is already on the way the prayers that Ken Rapando has led us through, you know, and some of the things he has even prayed about where the nation is concerned, because sometimes we carry the psyche of a nation and when our psyche is negative, the nation becomes negative.
Speaker 1: But when our psyche, our inner person, is positive, we are excited about this nation.
Speaker 1: We don't have to agree with everything, but let me tell you this it is that psyche that begins to attract favor and attract goodness and it reaches a critical mass when God says these people are anticipating for me to do good.
Speaker 1: I better do it anyway.
Speaker 1: And he does it.
Speaker 1: Yes, give God a big hand.
Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes, sometimes we tell ourselves ah, this nation, ah, there is no one who can do it.
Speaker 1: You may be buried next year.
Speaker 1: You better receive your miracle today.
Speaker 1: You better enjoy your country today.
Speaker 1: You better enjoy the opportunities now.
Speaker 1: Forget issues of taxes.
Speaker 1: My God shall supply all your need according to his riches and glory.
Speaker 1: God is not stuck according to your taxes.
Speaker 1: The Bible says he will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how fast and how high the dollar is going.
Speaker 1: God doesn't depend on dollars to meet your need.
Speaker 1: He depends on himself to meet your needs.
Speaker 1: And yet I wouldn't mind getting a few dollars.
Speaker 1: Thank you, jesus, but it is coming from God.
Speaker 1: May God open your doors.
Speaker 1: May God open your doors in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: But believe in God, don't believe in the concept of God.
Speaker 1: It is this God who is living, who is able to take you to the next level.
Speaker 1: So I'm setting you up for your tomorrow's miracle.
Speaker 1: I'm saying it one more time, my brother up there I'm setting you up for your tomorrow's miracle.
Speaker 1: Yes, don't depend on so and so and so and so.
Speaker 1: They can promise and they will let you down, but God will promise and will make sure.
Speaker 1: He is not a man that he should lie.
Speaker 1: He is not a son of man that he should change his mind.
Speaker 1: Has he said?
Speaker 1: Will he not do it?
Speaker 1: Has he spoken?
Speaker 1: Will he not fulfill it?
Speaker 1: This is the God I believe in and this is the God you believe in.
Speaker 1: May he surprise you tomorrow.
Speaker 1: His miracle has already been signed, it has been forwarded, it is being delivered tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Somebody better receive it in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Yes, I receive my portion and for each one of us we are different.
Speaker 1: So don't expect your neighbor will get what you will get and don't ask them will you do it?
Speaker 1: No, you just enjoy what God brings you away, because it is custom made just for you in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: I've really enjoyed this word.
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm going to watch myself and listen to myself.
Speaker 1: So get this card.
Speaker 1: By the way, last Sunday we launched our Paki song.
Speaker 1: Did you get that?
Speaker 1: So please get that song, pass it on, tell others about it, because there's somebody who is very important in that song, pastor Ambrose.
Speaker 1: He's featuring in that song because I believe in myself, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: And, by the way, you know, sometimes when people watch that movie clip, you know it is very interesting because when people are editing and putting that thing together by the way, I was not near that choir at all I recorded differently, they recorded differently, but it came out well.
Speaker 1: Amenipa is to get team have done a great job and this is one of the creative products from Parklands Baptist Church.
Speaker 1: So let me repeat three statements I said Number one, you are very powerful.
Speaker 1: Number two, you are very valuable.
Speaker 1: And number three, you are very creative.
Speaker 1: Receive that, father.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for allowing us to come to this service to receive this word for the.
Speaker 1: Now I feel this is a rumor word, that somebody needed this particular word.
Speaker 1: This is not the word I purpose to preach today, but it was just a preamble, an introduction, and, father, thank you that even in the introduction you can speak to us.
Speaker 1: Lord, there's somebody online who needs to believe.
Speaker 1: They have stopped believing God, they have stopped believing themselves, they have stopped believing in life.
Speaker 1: But tonight something is shifting, something is changing, and I want to pray, in the name of Jesus, that, god, you're going to breathe new breath on the ability to believe and tonight they are going to believe again.
Speaker 1: I pray that tonight they are going to believe again, they are not going to give up on their believing, they are not going to become unbelieving believers, they are not going to start becoming people of unbelief.
Speaker 1: Lord, breathe life into those ambers ashes that were just dying.
Speaker 1: Tonight, may they believe God, may they believe in vision, may they believe in themselves, may they believe in today, because a miracle, or such a humongous miracle, is coming their way and what seemed so impossible is going to become possible because, god, you're that kind of a God setting us up for great and mighty things.
Speaker 1: So thank you, father, for hearing my prayer, thank you for hearing our prayers as we were led by Dickon Ken Rapando, thank you for everybody who got time to come for this meeting, and I believe that, even as they listen to this message again and as they meditate on your word, something fresh will begin to flow in their lives, something new will begin to rise in their eyes and that which seems to be so dark light will be shed, because the Bible says arise and shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
Speaker 1: So, father, thank you for hearing our prayers Tonight.
Speaker 1: We are walking out of this service with a miracle and, dear Lord, I believe the next couple of days that are still in this week are going to be simply open doors to greater miracles that are coming our way.
Speaker 1: I believe, and I know this congregation believes If you believe these things, you better say I receive it, I take it, it is my portion, and there's nothing that devil can do about it.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, now give God a big hand.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: Pastor Edith, I believe, as I was speaking, some things were dropping in your system, some things were being unlocked in your system.
Speaker 1: Something amazing was beginning to happen.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, there are these two ladies and I want to say the grace, these two ladies who are sitting.
Speaker 1: You're looking at me, you're sitting, come here, god is locating you.
Speaker 1: I'm saying God is locating you.
Speaker 1: And, by the way, one of these when is there?
Speaker 1: We're going to resume our testimony?
Speaker 1: When is there, hallelujah, we're going to receive your testimonies.
Speaker 1: You know, like these two ladies, they were sitting back there and nobody knows them.
Speaker 1: Nobody sees them Right now, because they're standing here.
Speaker 1: The entire world is seeing them.
