WEBVTT 00:00:00.381 --> 00:00:05.083 Hallelujah, praise the name of Jesus. 00:00:05.083 --> 00:00:09.298 Please turn to a neighbor you think you like. 00:00:09.298 --> 00:00:18.125 Just turn to that neighbor and tell them neighbor, I love your smile and I love your style. 00:00:18.125 --> 00:00:29.039 Tell them, neighbor, you look like a good person and I'm going to tell them. 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:30.301 Neighbor, if they are dressed well. 00:00:30.301 --> 00:00:32.064 Tell them, neighbor, you look sharp. 00:00:32.064 --> 00:00:37.603 Some of you are not telling one another, even if it is by faith. 00:00:37.603 --> 00:00:40.002 Just tell them, neighbor, you look amazing. 00:00:40.002 --> 00:00:47.262 Amen, if you love them, just celebrate them wherever you are In the name of Jesus. 00:00:47.262 --> 00:00:48.645 Amen and amen. 00:00:49.326 --> 00:00:50.668 My wife just sent me a text. 00:00:50.668 --> 00:00:52.500 She's arrived in Voie. 00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:56.799 She's going for work in that place for some time. 00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:58.259 I'm giving an opportunity again. 00:00:58.259 --> 00:01:00.485 I've come with her in the name of the lord. 00:01:00.485 --> 00:01:19.840 She always carries my amen so that when I come to a church that doesn't give me amens, she'll be giving me amens and since she's not there, I am used to amens whether I have a point or not, so that by faith, another point can come. 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:28.305 Can I hear someone say amen, read the word of God and then we'll be ready to go. 00:01:28.305 --> 00:01:31.802 Amen. 00:01:31.822 --> 00:01:39.242 The book of Genesis, chapter number fifty, verse nineteen through to twenty one. 00:01:39.242 --> 00:01:49.162 The Bible says Joseph said to them do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? 00:01:49.162 --> 00:02:04.061 But, as I say, I am in the place of God, but God meant it for good in order to bring it about, as it is this day, to save many people alive. 00:02:04.061 --> 00:02:15.544 Now, therefore, do not be afraid, I will provide for you and your little ones, and he comforted them and spoke kindly to them. 00:02:15.544 --> 00:02:26.926 Auspicious god, we are so grateful for this and just be able to glean from the wisdom that comes from your word. 00:02:26.926 --> 00:02:34.322 It is my prayer that, lord, will not only be hearers of your word, but we shall also be doers of the same. 00:02:34.322 --> 00:02:44.165 And so therefore, lord, it's our prayer that this word will be so revelatory to us and that it will help us to move from one level to another. 00:02:44.165 --> 00:02:54.961 And therefore, lord, may you challenges with your word, may you be in the same situations and, by the end of it all, king of glory. 00:02:54.961 --> 00:03:00.899 God, it's our prayer that you will receive all the glory and honor for what you will do. 00:03:01.096 --> 00:03:05.180 In the name of Jesus Christ, we are prayed, believing and trusting. 00:03:05.180 --> 00:03:08.175 Somebody say amen, you may now have your seats. 00:03:08.175 --> 00:03:10.721 In Jesus name, hallelujah. 00:03:10.721 --> 00:03:13.165 We simply want to. 00:03:13.165 --> 00:03:23.560 I want to share with you on the way things will learn along the way. 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:30.188 I know this is a month of empowered breakthroughs and we been focusing on the life of Joseph. 00:03:30.188 --> 00:03:38.842 Great ministers have done our good work in this place, just bringing the word of God to you, and my work is just to add the icing on the cake. 00:03:38.842 --> 00:03:40.545 Praise the name of Jesus. 00:03:40.545 --> 00:03:47.681 Are you ready for this word of God? 00:03:47.681 --> 00:04:18.153 I'm ready to say amen, joseph, you realize that this is a man that had gone through lots and lots of trials in his life, from the death of the mother Uh, you know, this young man was raised without a mother for some time and he did not experience the love that other kids would have experienced with their mother, because their father loved him. 00:04:18.327 --> 00:04:19.906 But again, he had sibling rivalry. 00:04:19.906 --> 00:05:07.403 And this is simply because the father loved him so much and gave him a coat of many colors and the brothers were so annoyed with it, and because God gave him also a dream and he shared that dream with them, they made a decision to sell him or to kill him, and the Bible tells us that they, they decided to put him on a in a pit in order to kill him, and that has gone through so many challenges, a man who was given an opportunity, just to be able to work at the palace, and the wife of a portifer decided to try and seduce him, and the wife of the wife of Portifer just decided that this, this, this man, is not so good and they put him in prison. 00:05:07.403 --> 00:05:15.620 Interpreted dreams in prison, and people didn't the people who into interpreted dreams for did not want to do this. 00:05:15.620 --> 00:05:29.651 This is a man who rose in power after some time and when he rose in power, he became the father of Pharaoh, in accordance to the scripture, and became a manager and did all that was required. 00:05:29.651 --> 00:05:43.480 The beautiful thing is that at the tail end of his life, he receives back his family and forgives them for what they had done in his life, and that's what he did. 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:43.721 Amen, amen. 00:05:44.704 --> 00:06:03.322 And so, as you go along the way, there are some things that you will begin to learn, or lessons that you can be able to pick up from the life of Joseph that you can apply as an individual and and and end up having an empowered breakthrough in your life. 00:06:03.322 --> 00:06:21.605 I want to tell some and to inform others that, in your journey, in your walk with the Lord, this is because, in between the conception of the dream or the vision that God has given you and its fulfillment. 00:06:21.605 --> 00:06:24.802 There is always a journey that you will go through as a child of God. 00:06:24.802 --> 00:06:31.649 Sometimes you begin the journey when you are so comfortable, when everything is happening in accordance to your plan. 00:06:31.649 --> 00:06:35.240 Sometimes you jot down all your plans. 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:40.139 Your goals and your ambitions are like the way you live. 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:40.701 Life happens. 00:06:40.701 --> 00:06:49.524 All of a sudden you end up having an economic turmoil, something that you did not expect when you began the year. 00:06:49.524 --> 00:06:50.562 You end up having job changes. 00:06:50.562 --> 00:06:57.107 They transfer you from Nairobi to Garbatula and you're going to move with your entire family. 00:06:57.107 --> 00:07:01.103 You end up having marriage challenges. 00:07:01.103 --> 00:07:10.382 Either someone walks out of your life or you're just about to get married, or you had a kid and the kid you know passed on or passed on to you. 00:07:10.382 --> 00:07:20.281 You know you're going to have a vacation and all of a sudden they come home when their stomach is full not of food but of another baby and you keep on wondering what will you do with that particular kid? 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.824 So you end up having situations that are happening in your life. 00:07:23.824 --> 00:07:29.146 To an extent, you begin to ask yourself where is God in all these things? 00:07:29.146 --> 00:07:33.862 But it is in that moment of confusion, it is in that moment of pain. 00:07:33.862 --> 00:07:44.649 It is in that moment whereby you don't have to step in and rearrange the furniture of your life because of that which he desires to do in your life. 00:07:44.649 --> 00:07:46.543 Can I hear somebody say amen? 00:07:46.543 --> 00:07:59.225 So by the end of it all, it is the desire of God that you will not only praise him for the destination, but he will also praise him for the lessons that you learn in your journey of life. 00:07:59.225 --> 00:08:02.302 Can I hear somebody say again, a bigger amen? 00:08:03.464 --> 00:08:15.192 You see, there is a philosopher who said that life can only be understood backwards, but it must be believed forward. 00:08:15.192 --> 00:08:29.762 In other words, this Danish theologian is suggesting to us that there are certain things that are going on in our life in the present, that will only make sense in your future. 00:08:29.762 --> 00:08:35.993 Listen to me, child of God, just listen to me. 00:08:35.993 --> 00:08:40.807 It does not necessarily mean that it will never make sense at all. 00:08:40.807 --> 00:09:05.440 It only means that you are in the place or the space whereby, in your life, things are not making sense at all, because a majority of us know, or some of us who got saved are aware, that anytime you get saved, you, you you're like this person used to sing this song and you know, a long time ago, you're like this person used to sing in a song, and you know a long time ago. 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.860 So the majority of us who get saved, so that you don't get into a problem. 00:09:09.860 --> 00:09:15.125 But please let me announce to you that salvation is not an insurance cover against trouble. 00:09:15.125 --> 00:09:19.984 As long as you are a child of God and you are in this world, you will experience trouble. 00:09:19.984 --> 00:09:21.900 There are no favourites on this side. 00:09:21.900 --> 00:09:24.000 Let me talk to this one here. 00:09:24.162 --> 00:09:36.020 If you have ever gone through moments in your life God, in all this situation, I thought when I get saved, he'll be by my side. 00:09:36.020 --> 00:09:41.961 I thought when I get saved, the Holy Spirit will convict me of seeing righteousness and judgment. 00:09:41.961 --> 00:09:45.461 He'll be together with me every single time when I call on his name. 00:09:45.461 --> 00:09:46.504 But how comes? 00:09:46.504 --> 00:09:50.504 All of a sudden I have gotten saved and things are so bad. 00:09:50.504 --> 00:09:53.809 Things are thick, it's like everything is bleak. 00:09:53.809 --> 00:09:58.504 I can't be able to understand what is going on. 00:09:58.504 --> 00:10:00.679 Listen to me, child of God. 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:02.264 He knows what is going on. 00:10:02.264 --> 00:10:04.504 He's working behind the scenes. 00:10:04.504 --> 00:10:08.951 Sometimes we don't see him when he's working, but he's working. 00:10:08.951 --> 00:10:11.724 You might not feel him when he's working, but he's working. 00:10:11.764 --> 00:10:17.364 I came to make an announcement to you, child of God, that in your work with the Lord. 00:10:17.364 --> 00:10:24.086 You will be tested, you will have trouble in your life but, thanks be to God, he will never leave us the same way we came in. 00:10:24.086 --> 00:10:30.489 We'll become better, we will be nourished and we will be able to do what God has done. 00:10:30.489 --> 00:10:41.721 You see, some of us are not able to say an amen or even appreciate what is going on, because they, they, they don't know really what is happening. 00:10:41.721 --> 00:10:46.299 The reason as to why you don't know is because you are not seated where God is seated. 00:10:46.299 --> 00:10:49.630 You, you, you, you, you, you see where you see. 00:10:49.630 --> 00:10:53.140 It determines what you see and what you see determines what you do. 00:10:53.140 --> 00:11:03.423 And this is because, child of God, in your life, the God you see is the God you get. 00:11:03.423 --> 00:11:04.404 This one is still struggling. 00:11:04.404 --> 00:11:04.686 Let me. 00:11:04.686 --> 00:11:05.626 Let me talk to this one's here. 00:11:06.467 --> 00:11:24.001 The God you see is the God you get, and I said it here in the fast service that if you see God as a carpenter, you'll have your furniture fixed, but if you see God as a savior, then you will have your life fixed, because the God you see is the God you get in your journey of life. 00:11:24.001 --> 00:11:27.825 As you keep on moving forward. 00:11:27.825 --> 00:11:29.768 I need to be on the right side. 00:11:29.768 --> 00:11:32.421 Life is not a steady incline. 00:11:32.421 --> 00:11:35.100 Life is a stair step. 00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:42.822 You move from one level to another, you keep on growing, you keep on maturing, your capacity keeps on growing. 00:11:42.822 --> 00:12:00.303 But all that will only happen if you begin to appreciate life and refuse to complain to everything that happens in you and begin to look at the positivity in the inside of the body of life. 00:12:00.303 --> 00:12:01.446 Can I hear somebody say amen? 00:12:02.447 --> 00:12:08.201 So the Bible tells us in Genesis, chapter number 50 and verse number 20,. 00:12:08.201 --> 00:12:13.721 The Bible says but ask for you I'm about to preach now but ask for you. 00:12:13.721 --> 00:12:19.623 You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good. 00:12:19.623 --> 00:12:35.392 In order to bring it about as it is, in your journey Many people, you In your journey you must understand your mission. 00:12:35.392 --> 00:12:39.246 Why are you here? 00:12:39.246 --> 00:12:50.010 I know you are so excited about the theme of empowered breakthrough and you been praying and you'd like preachers who preach at you and tell you how you will be. 00:12:50.010 --> 00:12:52.868 I see a door opening in your life. 00:12:52.868 --> 00:12:55.248 Slap your neighbor or high five. 00:12:55.248 --> 00:12:59.373 Something is about to happen. 00:12:59.373 --> 00:13:02.673 You are a child of God. 00:13:02.918 --> 00:13:16.277 Any breakthrough you desire as a child of God, you must understand your mission, because your mission consists of a certain assignment or task that God has given you, like Joseph. 00:13:16.277 --> 00:13:22.970 When we read that scripture, he had already known the reason as to why he was going through the vicissitudes of life. 00:13:22.970 --> 00:13:27.110 He said to preserve a posterity. 00:13:27.110 --> 00:13:31.125 Are we going to change your mission? 00:13:31.125 --> 00:13:31.668 What is your mission? 00:13:31.668 --> 00:13:40.946 Because there are some of us who are so preoccupied with our desired status that we neglect our mission. 00:13:40.946 --> 00:13:43.308 I know I'll not get a lot of amen right there. 00:13:43.308 --> 00:14:00.065 If you desire that God should change your position, then you must understand your mission, because whenever God himself begins to bring you from something you don't know about, it is not enough. 00:14:00.065 --> 00:14:05.761 It is simply because he has to recognize the mission that is in the inside of you. 00:14:05.784 --> 00:14:08.625 Very few people pray about their mission. 00:14:08.625 --> 00:14:29.691 A majority of you who have come to our offices or have desired that we pray together with them, a majority of us ask us that we should pray for your promotion and you begin to tell us you know, promotion does not come from the east, otherwise promotion comes from the father above, and so pray for me that I will be able to bless you. 00:14:29.691 --> 00:14:32.605 So we'll tell you oh, pastor, you know there's an opening somewhere. 00:14:32.605 --> 00:14:34.466 I'm praying for this position. 00:14:34.466 --> 00:14:37.855 I want you to believe with me for this very position. 00:14:37.855 --> 00:14:39.164 Some of you are like you know what. 00:14:39.164 --> 00:14:41.047 I'm a politician, I'm looking for power. 00:14:41.047 --> 00:14:46.644 I want power, I want to rule, I want to reign, I want to govern, I want to do ABCD. 00:14:46.644 --> 00:14:50.567 I want you to trust God together with me that I may be able to win that seat. 00:14:50.567 --> 00:14:54.880 There's some of you are like you know what? 00:14:54.880 --> 00:14:57.807 Where I came from, I was like you know. 00:14:57.807 --> 00:15:06.144 I'm not prospering because God's desire is that we may live a prosperous life and you'll give me lots and lots of scriptures. 00:15:06.144 --> 00:15:13.389 But the question is child of God, is your prayer request mission driven I? 00:15:13.389 --> 00:15:26.105 I knew people will be silent right there, because it is your mission that will bring you the position that you want as a child of God. 00:15:26.144 --> 00:15:29.990 The Bible says Joseph had a dream and was five other to eight. 00:15:29.990 --> 00:15:37.225 In the NIV version, the Bible says Joseph had a dream and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even all the more. 00:15:37.225 --> 00:15:40.875 He say to them listen to this dream I had. 00:15:40.875 --> 00:15:48.528 We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my shift. 00:15:48.528 --> 00:16:00.067 Joseph had a dream and stood upright while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it. 00:16:00.067 --> 00:16:11.389 His brother said to him do you intend to reign over us, or shall you indeed have dominion over our lives? 00:16:11.389 --> 00:16:24.145 Ah, you see, joseph shared his mission and not the mission In his immaturity he talks about. 00:16:24.166 --> 00:16:31.446 My sheath stood upright before you and your sheaves bowed down before me. 00:16:31.446 --> 00:16:36.546 He saw his position, but he never saw his mission. 00:16:36.546 --> 00:16:46.144 And I know their children of God in this place who, in their immaturity, they were. 00:16:46.144 --> 00:17:03.166 Because you are so infatuated with your position and you forget to think about your mission and I will not get an, an amen right there the brothers saw the position instead of the mission, and that's why they wanted to annihilate his life. 00:17:03.166 --> 00:17:12.539 Listen to me, child of God until you are mission driven, resources will be locked up on your behalf. 00:17:12.539 --> 00:17:16.791 I know you want the position, I know you want the power. 00:17:16.791 --> 00:17:19.635 I know you want the prosperity I don't want. 00:17:19.635 --> 00:17:31.469 You want to be the ruler, you want to be the governor, you want to fly, you want to drive the Range Robbers that are being talked about here, with 18 inch rim, with four exhaust pipes, 4,700 liter engine. 00:17:31.469 --> 00:17:32.530 It doesn't matter. 00:17:32.530 --> 00:17:34.652 All those are blessings of God. 00:17:34.652 --> 00:17:35.967 But is it mission driven? 00:17:35.967 --> 00:17:38.934 I know there'll be quietness here. 00:17:38.934 --> 00:17:42.724 Let me try and talk to some of you. 00:17:42.724 --> 00:17:44.886 What you are asking from God. 00:17:44.886 --> 00:17:46.190 Is it mission driven? 00:17:46.190 --> 00:17:50.849 Is it going to fulfill your assignment? 00:17:50.849 --> 00:17:53.405 I don't know whether you understand what I'm saying here. 00:17:53.425 --> 00:17:58.766 Never lose sight of your mission because of your insecurities. 00:17:58.766 --> 00:18:01.894 There are some of us who look at ourselves and we never appreciate ourselves. 00:18:01.894 --> 00:18:04.448 We think so lowly about ourselves. 00:18:04.448 --> 00:18:10.692 You've got the capacity to do better, but you don't believe you can amount to anything. 00:18:10.692 --> 00:18:12.724 You don't believe in God. 00:18:12.724 --> 00:18:20.487 You believe in you that you have believed what they are saying about you and you forfeit or negate that which God has said about you. 00:18:20.487 --> 00:18:25.525 So you, so you don't have confidence in you at all and you believe like that. 00:18:25.525 --> 00:18:30.596 You're a second class citizen in the kingdom of God and you begin to walk and think and talk like one. 00:18:30.596 --> 00:18:31.626 But the devil is a liar. 00:18:31.626 --> 00:18:32.489 I need you to understand. 00:18:32.509 --> 00:18:36.786 Children of God, everyone that is seated in this place today. 00:18:36.786 --> 00:18:41.047 God put a mission inside of you. 00:18:41.047 --> 00:18:56.034 The reason as to why you are not yet dead is simply because God has put a mission in the inside of you and they don't matter what the enemy is going to do, whether they send or a knight, runners in your house, or send which doctors around your house. 00:18:56.034 --> 00:19:00.265 They'll never be able to take away the mission of God in your life. 00:19:00.265 --> 00:19:04.851 You are chosen, you are blessed of God, you are highly favored of the Lord. 00:19:04.851 --> 00:19:12.001 God knew you before you were even born and you are blessed of God. 00:19:12.001 --> 00:19:17.371 So even if they tell you you will die, you will tell them the pastor who's got the road map to my destiny. 00:19:17.371 --> 00:19:21.059 He's not my boss, he's not my pastor, he's not my parent. 00:19:21.059 --> 00:19:22.265 It is Jehovah God. 00:19:22.265 --> 00:19:24.439 He knows my beginning, he knows my end. 00:19:24.439 --> 00:19:31.277 All I've got to do is to enjoy life and eat it with a big spoon and begin to appreciate God for what he's doing in my life. 00:19:31.277 --> 00:19:37.505 Oh my god, can you give somebody a high five and just celebrate Jesus? 00:19:37.505 --> 00:19:38.869 I'm going to give you a high five. 00:19:38.910 --> 00:19:54.214 He said there's a story about John the Baptist and the disciples who were wondering whether John the Baptist had his mission aligned to what was going on in John, chapter number three and verse number twenty five all the way through to thirty. 00:19:54.214 --> 00:20:05.535 The Bible says that an argument in the NIV version, an argument developed between some of John's disciples and a certain Jew over the matter of the Bible. 00:20:05.535 --> 00:20:15.010 John said to him Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the the one you testified about. 00:20:15.010 --> 00:20:20.257 Look, he is baptizing and everyone is going to him. 00:20:20.257 --> 00:20:28.028 To this John replied a person can receive only what is given them from heaven. 00:20:28.028 --> 00:20:38.548 You know I am not the Messiah, but I'm sent ahead of him. 00:20:38.548 --> 00:20:43.144 The bride belongs to the bride groom. 00:20:43.144 --> 00:20:54.747 The friend who attends the bride grooms wearing a wets and listens for him and and is full of joy when he hears the bride groom's voice. 00:20:54.747 --> 00:21:05.464 That is the reason why he is complete. 00:21:05.464 --> 00:21:08.912 He must become greater and I must become less. 00:21:08.932 --> 00:21:18.429 That's a lesson in leadership right there, in knowing when to exit the scene when you have fulfilled your mission. 00:21:18.429 --> 00:21:28.755 I need to be not immense on this side, because we've got leaders in this country, especially in Africa, who don't know when to exit the scene. 00:21:28.755 --> 00:21:34.987 There are people who would rather get into leadership with crutches. 00:21:34.987 --> 00:21:41.358 They are so old they even forget their names where they are talking, but they still want to be in leadership. 00:21:41.358 --> 00:21:46.550 You've got to know when to exit the scene because God is giving a specific task. 00:21:46.550 --> 00:22:00.288 You can only fulfill God's purpose in your generation If you don't know what you're doing in certain generations. 00:22:00.288 --> 00:22:00.930 Let me go back. 00:22:00.930 --> 00:22:06.030 I saw some people here who might stone me, but you can all. 00:22:06.030 --> 00:22:11.718 I'll repeat it again with the audacity of faith, you can only serve God in your generation. 00:22:13.246 --> 00:22:19.276 And when you fulfilled your mission, it's time to exit the scene and hand over to others. 00:22:19.276 --> 00:22:25.068 Can I hear somebody say amen? 00:22:25.068 --> 00:22:35.972 That by the end of it all, he preserved his father's entire family? 00:22:35.972 --> 00:22:47.071 Move them from Canaan all the way through to Egypt, and we had a Hebrew nation that was so prosperous and it grew numerically. 00:22:47.071 --> 00:22:49.035 Where do you think the children of Israel came from? 00:22:49.035 --> 00:22:57.517 If Joseph never knew his mission, you would have never been able to read your Bible. 00:22:57.517 --> 00:22:58.438 Read your Bible. 00:22:58.438 --> 00:23:09.555 Read your Bible, because it is out of those children that we ended up having people in in Egypt, because they arose a Pharaoh who did not know Joseph. 00:23:09.555 --> 00:23:10.518 Are we understanding one another? 00:23:10.518 --> 00:23:12.000 Are we understanding one another? 00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:23.911 Number two, you not only understand your mission, but, number two, we have the maneuver you must learn to understand. 00:23:23.911 --> 00:23:26.230 The name is Jehovah, god. 00:23:26.250 --> 00:23:35.012 When you read the story of Joseph, even Psalms 105 and verse 19 attests to the veracity of my message today. 00:23:35.012 --> 00:23:42.913 The Bible says until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him. 00:23:42.913 --> 00:23:47.352 Alright, let me come back to this side. 00:23:47.352 --> 00:23:53.891 I know you don't like talking about trials and trials. 00:23:53.891 --> 00:24:04.493 Okay, but please let me give you some notice as long as you're born again, you'll pass through trials, you'll be tested, you will be maneuvered. 00:24:04.493 --> 00:24:12.550 You will move from left, right and center because when God has a plan for your life, he will maneuver you. 00:24:12.550 --> 00:24:15.920 And once you know that he will maneuver you, refuse to cry. 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:17.690 Stop crying about it. 00:24:17.690 --> 00:24:23.234 If you cry, wipe your tears. 00:24:23.234 --> 00:24:24.310 You will be maneuvered. 00:24:24.310 --> 00:24:30.746 Do not be upset about what is going on, because God has already assured you that he will maneuver you. 00:24:30.743 --> 00:24:34.530 You see, when Joseph got his dream, he saw up, but he went down. 00:24:34.530 --> 00:24:37.151 It is life. 00:24:37.151 --> 00:24:42.290 He saw up where his brothers were while he was in the pit. 00:24:42.290 --> 00:24:48.311 To an extent, the maneuver looked the opposite of his dream. 00:24:48.311 --> 00:25:03.035 I don't know whether you can see the declarations that are made on this place, like in this month, is empowered, breakthroughs, and that's an exciting topic right there Empowered for a breakthrough. 00:25:03.035 --> 00:25:21.769 But then again, when you look at your life, it is diametrically opposed to that which is being said, because God is maneuvering you, god is changing the furniture of your life and all majority of us will not say an amen right now. 00:25:21.789 --> 00:25:24.195 He was maneuvered, thrown into the pit. 00:25:24.195 --> 00:25:29.875 In Genesis thirty-seven, verse twenty-three of the through to twenty-four. 00:25:29.875 --> 00:25:30.678 The Bible says so. 00:25:30.678 --> 00:25:38.462 When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him off his robe the on it rub he was wearing, and they took him and threw him into the pit. 00:25:38.462 --> 00:25:39.809 But the pit was empty. 00:25:39.809 --> 00:25:42.869 There was no water in it. 00:25:42.869 --> 00:25:44.374 Oh, my god, I can, I can spend more time there. 00:25:44.374 --> 00:25:48.393 Right, they put him in the pit. 00:25:48.393 --> 00:25:51.803 That's what they said. 00:25:51.803 --> 00:25:54.529 If you die, they thought they would kill him. 00:25:54.529 --> 00:25:57.458 But look at what the Bible says. 00:25:57.458 --> 00:26:00.645 There was no water in that pit. 00:26:00.645 --> 00:26:07.535 No evil plan against you shall be able to withstand the mission of God in your life. 00:26:07.535 --> 00:26:24.373 They can lay you off, they can close your company, they can do whatever they want to do, but as long as you've got the mission of God in your life, the land of the lord will be together with you. 00:26:24.373 --> 00:26:27.423 In the pit, the lord was with him. 00:26:27.423 --> 00:26:30.291 When he got into prison, the lord favored him. 00:26:30.291 --> 00:26:34.275 When he got into the palace, the lord favored him. 00:26:34.275 --> 00:26:38.278 When he was before Potiphar's wife, the lord favored him. 00:26:38.278 --> 00:26:43.599 God's favor will always go together with the one who understands what his mission or her mission is. 00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:52.392 While you're here on earth, slap somebody a high five and just tell them you will be maneuvered. 00:26:52.392 --> 00:26:53.953 You will be maneuvered. 00:26:53.953 --> 00:26:54.336 Are you better? 00:26:54.336 --> 00:26:56.670 Turn to the other one and tell them I don't expect nothing less. 00:26:56.670 --> 00:26:58.523 You will be maneuvered. 00:26:58.523 --> 00:27:00.904 I tell you, turn to the other and tell them. 00:27:00.904 --> 00:27:06.517 Some of you might be getting out of a problem right now, but some of you might be getting into a problem at the same moment. 00:27:06.517 --> 00:27:27.912 But just tell them, just in case you, tarry right there and remain faithful and focus on Jehovah God, you will be like a job who said, though I look at my left side, I also don't see God, but one thing that I know that when God is done with me, I will come out like pure gold. 00:27:27.912 --> 00:27:36.256 You better slap your neighbor a high five and tell them don't you dare write me off If you thought I'll never become anything. 00:27:36.256 --> 00:27:37.238 Wait for a minute. 00:27:37.238 --> 00:27:49.053 It might take a year, it might take some weeks, it might take some months, but you need to put on your spectacles to look at me after I've been able to recognize me. 00:27:49.413 --> 00:27:59.979 The brothers of Joseph were not able to recognize him because when God maneuvered Joseph when he came before them, they kept on asking themselves who is this? 00:27:59.979 --> 00:28:08.797 They forgot about the dream that they bowed down before him but Joseph, because he had been maneuvered and he understood what his mission was. 00:28:08.797 --> 00:28:10.893 He never condemned his brothers. 00:28:10.893 --> 00:28:30.772 All he did, he said I'm going to provide for you, not only you, not only your children, but I'm going to provide for your father and anybody connected to you, because the moment you and you trust the hands of the man, he's going to take you to the next level. 00:28:30.792 --> 00:28:35.352 I came to speak to someone in this place who was about to give up. 00:28:35.352 --> 00:28:39.471 I came to tell you, don't throw in the towel. 00:28:39.471 --> 00:28:41.851 Trust the hands of the man. 00:28:41.851 --> 00:28:42.674 He knows what he's doing. 00:28:42.674 --> 00:28:47.653 He knows what he's doing. 00:28:47.653 --> 00:28:54.903 You better tell that neighbor, even when you don't trust him, you can still be able to trust him in that very situation. 00:28:54.903 --> 00:28:56.611 Uh, somebody give the lord up. 00:28:56.611 --> 00:28:58.057 I feel like preaching here. 00:28:58.057 --> 00:29:00.382 Somebody give the lord a praise in this house. 00:29:00.196 --> 00:29:20.771 Because of their hands, of the maneuver as it's maneuvering, you Never confuse the path that is laid down in your mind, because God knows what is going on in your life. 00:29:20.771 --> 00:29:36.137 God will show you the destination, like he did, but he won't show you how you will get there, because if he tells you everything on how you will get there, then there's no need of faith. 00:29:36.137 --> 00:29:40.214 But it'll show you where you will be, but it won't show you where you will be. 00:29:40.214 --> 00:29:45.012 Your first test of going up is going down. 00:29:45.012 --> 00:29:52.916 If you keep God as God in the beat, you'll keep God as God while you are in the palace. 00:29:53.459 --> 00:30:05.490 I wish I had someone saying an amen right there, because in every step of your life, when you are being maneuvered, never come out of that season empty handed. 00:30:05.490 --> 00:30:29.420 You must come out of that season with lessons, with lessons, with the lesson, with the lesson, with the lesson, so that if you get yourself into another season like that, you'll be able to believe God and fast God and make a declaration that the same God who delivered me from my past season has got the ability to deliver me even from this very season. 00:30:29.420 --> 00:30:34.976 If you are unwell and God healed you and another disease plagues your body, you can tell your body. 00:30:34.976 --> 00:30:37.090 Body hear the word of God. 00:30:37.090 --> 00:30:45.692 The Lord who gave me divine health yesterday has got the ability to help me even now. 00:30:45.692 --> 00:30:57.933 As somebody say an amen, joseph, joseph, land only to trust in God and not to trust in the arm of the flesh. 00:30:57.933 --> 00:31:12.707 He lost his court of many colors, but he never lost his call and he never lost his will. 00:31:12.707 --> 00:31:16.196 He's always stronger than what is on you. 00:31:16.409 --> 00:31:23.634 Sometimes people are attracted by what is on you that they forget about what is in you. 00:31:23.634 --> 00:31:39.272 Oh, my god, there's something God has placed in the inside of you that no man can be able to take, no problem can be able to take, no condition, can be able to take you as a child of God. 00:31:39.272 --> 00:31:45.675 And because you carry the dream of God, that dream was not yours, that dream was given to you by God. 00:31:45.675 --> 00:31:54.153 And if God gave you the dream, then it also give you the ability to weather the storms so that the dream is preserved until it comes to fruition. 00:31:54.153 --> 00:32:05.979 Can I hear somebody say amen, god is about to take you to the zenith of your life as a child of God, because you are on the precipice of a shift. 00:32:05.979 --> 00:32:06.971 You are on the road. 00:32:06.971 --> 00:32:07.531 Hold on. 00:32:07.531 --> 00:32:31.554 If only you can trust in father, if only you can develop a devotional life, if only you can pray even the more, if only you can read the Bible the more, if only you can love him more, if only you can serve him more, if only you can devote yourself, the more you'll be able to see the hands of the maneuver Delivering you into the best place of life. 00:32:31.554 --> 00:32:34.849 Can I hear you. 00:32:34.849 --> 00:32:38.492 Can I learn something when you're being maneuvered? 00:32:38.492 --> 00:32:52.513 And one thing you need to learn as you exit this room today is that your beat can't stop the promise of God in your life, no matter what happens, the promise can't be stopped. 00:32:52.513 --> 00:33:04.413 So in your walk with the Lord, you should not only understand your mission, but you should also know the hands of the maneuver. 00:33:04.413 --> 00:33:12.673 But again, number three to be able to go into the higher echelons of life, you've got to learn to manage the situation. 00:33:12.673 --> 00:33:23.835 Manage the situation because you'll read the story in Genesis 41, verse 41, all the way through to forty-five. 00:33:23.835 --> 00:33:29.892 In fact, if I, if I may, just read verse forty three. 00:33:29.892 --> 00:33:36.678 But without your word, no one will lift a hand or foot. 00:33:38.239 --> 00:33:55.553 In all Egypt, pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zephaneth Panier and gave him Asenath, daughter of Portifera, priest of On, to be his wife, and Joseph, the son of Jesus in charge. 00:33:55.553 --> 00:34:08.139 Now you understand why you need the power, because when you get the power, it will only be availed to you if you understand your mission. 00:34:08.139 --> 00:34:10.862 Let me, let me talk to this one there. 00:34:10.862 --> 00:34:28.994 No matter how you pray, you can fast for many days than Jesus Christ, but if you don't understand your mission, you will not be able to do anything. 00:34:28.994 --> 00:34:36.773 But because Joseph understood his mission, power came, but he had to learn to manage the process. 00:34:36.773 --> 00:34:41.550 Can you be trusted with success? 00:34:41.550 --> 00:34:45.280 Can you be trusted as you're praying for that very blessing? 00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:49.010 Can you manage the blessing? 00:34:49.010 --> 00:34:49.152 Do not. 00:34:49.152 --> 00:34:56.221 There's some of the things that I want to give you the millions. 00:34:56.221 --> 00:35:05.043 He is more than willing, but he realized that even with the ten thousand, you can't tide. 00:35:05.043 --> 00:35:11.150 No, no, I'm just speaking to us. 00:35:11.150 --> 00:35:15.873 He has realized when you get your check over a hundred thousand, you begin to shake. 00:35:15.873 --> 00:35:22.641 That's why some of you will be a leader. 00:35:22.641 --> 00:35:24.244 You can't be a manager. 00:35:24.244 --> 00:35:34.844 You can play and bet as many times as you can, but he will never allow you to win because he knows you've never gone through the process. 00:35:35.885 --> 00:35:45.831 When you look at the life of Joseph, whether he was in the palace, he managed his morality, because in the palace he was tempted. 00:35:45.831 --> 00:35:49.032 He managed his integrity. 00:35:49.032 --> 00:35:55.251 He said to Pharaoh's people he was in charge of every other thing, only you. 00:35:55.251 --> 00:35:55.635 I'm not. 00:35:55.635 --> 00:35:57.331 I'm not in charge of you. 00:35:57.331 --> 00:36:01.849 He was able to manage everything that was thrown at him. 00:36:01.849 --> 00:36:08.811 When he was in the prison and people did not remember him, he still managed his expectations. 00:36:08.811 --> 00:36:11.418 He knew it may happen, it may not happen. 00:36:11.797 --> 00:36:25.092 God is asking you when I give you power, when I give you prosperity, when I give you power, when I give you prosperity, can you be able to handle it? 00:36:25.092 --> 00:36:28.981 God told me to come and tell some of you who've gone through a stimulus moment in your family. 00:36:28.981 --> 00:36:32.875 Can you be able to manage the sibling rivalry in your family? 00:36:32.875 --> 00:36:39.344 Because some of you are, resources have been locked up because you've been so bitter over what they did. 00:36:39.344 --> 00:36:45.338 You've been so bitter over what daddy and mommy said about you. 00:36:45.338 --> 00:36:55.072 You're asking you want me to lift you up so that your brothers can see that I've lifted you up. 00:36:55.072 --> 00:36:56.130 But did you know that? 00:36:56.130 --> 00:36:57.670 That is what the Bible says? 00:36:57.670 --> 00:37:03.851 The prayers that you've prayed amiss, so that others can see. 00:37:03.851 --> 00:37:05.896 But God is like. 00:37:05.896 --> 00:37:13.858 I want to give you so that they can see me, not you. 00:37:13.858 --> 00:37:18.596 I want to give you this place, the glory that belongs to God. 00:37:18.596 --> 00:37:23.670 God has lifted you. 00:37:23.670 --> 00:37:29.634 By the time God has lifted you, all the glory should go back to him, not to you. 00:37:29.634 --> 00:37:31.757 Are we understanding one another? 00:37:31.757 --> 00:37:34.063 So God told me to come and tell you. 00:37:34.083 --> 00:37:39.775 Stop crying about what has been happening and begin to manage the situation. 00:37:39.775 --> 00:37:46.411 Stop feeling sorry over what they said over what they planned, or they got you out of the deal. 00:37:46.411 --> 00:37:52.552 Stop worrying about it and begin to manage that situation. 00:37:52.552 --> 00:37:56.045 Manage your fears, manage your expectations. 00:37:56.045 --> 00:37:58.094 Don't have some pity party in the inside of you. 00:37:58.094 --> 00:38:00.038 No, begin to manage all those things. 00:38:00.038 --> 00:38:04.114 Manage your doubts. 00:38:04.114 --> 00:38:21.990 And this is because you are not fit to be blessed if you cannot manage the process that you are going through, all those blessings that you have received Lastly. 00:38:22.373 --> 00:38:23.822 Lastly, number four. 00:38:23.822 --> 00:38:26.715 Lastly, lastly, the manifestation. 00:38:26.715 --> 00:38:40.052 When you understand your mission, when you trust the hands of the maneuver and you are able to manage the process, you will be manifested. 00:38:40.052 --> 00:38:43.072 No, it isn't the Bible. 00:38:43.072 --> 00:38:43.974 It isn't the Bible. 00:38:43.994 --> 00:38:50.451 The Bible says in Genesis 45, verse four to nine then Joseph said I am close. 00:38:50.451 --> 00:38:59.331 When they had done so, he said I am your brother, joseph, the one you sold into Egypt. 00:38:59.331 --> 00:39:14.291 And now do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you. 00:39:14.291 --> 00:39:34.373 For two years, before the next five years, there'll be no plowing and ripping, but God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and save your lives by a great deliverance. 00:39:34.373 --> 00:39:36.052 So then, it was not you. 00:39:36.052 --> 00:39:40.110 It was not you who sent me here, but God. 00:39:40.110 --> 00:39:49.170 He made me father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and ruler of all in Egypt. 00:39:49.170 --> 00:39:55.331 This is what your son, joseph, says God has made me lord of all Egypt. 00:39:55.331 --> 00:39:58.257 Calm down to me and don't delay. 00:39:58.257 --> 00:40:01.411 Don't delay. 00:40:01.472 --> 00:40:03.034 I understood my mission. 00:40:03.034 --> 00:40:05.132 I was maneuvered. 00:40:05.132 --> 00:40:09.070 I managed the pain and the situation that I was in. 00:40:09.070 --> 00:40:11.114 The wind was poisonous, but I stood. 00:40:11.114 --> 00:40:12.338 I stood firm. 00:40:12.338 --> 00:40:14.713 People are not. 00:40:14.713 --> 00:40:16.757 I was against the wind. 00:40:16.757 --> 00:40:22.514 I was benefited out of my dream, but I still served the lord and never compromise. 00:40:22.514 --> 00:40:25.670 I refused to lift up the white flag. 00:40:25.670 --> 00:40:26.612 I refused to give up. 00:40:26.612 --> 00:40:28.231 I stood firm. 00:40:28.231 --> 00:40:30.512 I trusted the hands of the maneuver. 00:40:30.512 --> 00:40:32.371 I trusted him in all my ways. 00:40:32.371 --> 00:40:39.998 I believe that this is the confidence that I have at the god who said something or began something in you. 00:40:39.998 --> 00:40:50.914 He's so faithful to bring it into a completion and now he's going to compromise him that Joseph had to introduce himself. 00:40:50.934 --> 00:40:53.070 Listen to me, child of God. 00:40:53.070 --> 00:40:57.179 God is not ready to manifest you if you have not gone through the process. 00:40:57.179 --> 00:41:15.693 I know a majority of us loves progress, but let me tell you process is coming and sometimes that process is painful, sometimes that process is hurtful, but you've got to manage the situation and begin to lean on God, and begin to lean on me to yourself. 00:41:15.693 --> 00:41:18.393 I cannot be able to give up now. 00:41:18.393 --> 00:41:25.193 I'm going to stand firm because I've never seen God failing me, even in the my darkest moments. 00:41:25.193 --> 00:41:27.418 I've never seen God leaving me. 00:41:27.418 --> 00:41:32.456 I've never seen God making me a laughing stock in front of other people. 00:41:32.916 --> 00:41:36.492 I manage the situations. 00:41:36.492 --> 00:41:36.972 I'm like David. 00:41:36.972 --> 00:41:47.253 I lift up my eyes and to the Lord I can make a decision and say my help will come from Jehovah. 00:41:47.253 --> 00:41:50.269 The men ran away from me. 00:41:50.269 --> 00:41:51.313 The marriage broke down. 00:41:51.313 --> 00:41:56.041 They laid me off out of work, but I trusted their hands of the maneuver. 00:41:56.041 --> 00:41:58.903 I can still stand firm and preach the word. 00:41:58.903 --> 00:42:09.918 I can still stand firm and clap my hands like my hands are on fire, because I know who I believe, I know who I trust. 00:42:09.918 --> 00:42:13.150 I know who I trust is at the table. 00:42:13.150 --> 00:42:23.922 But when I come into the presence of the Lord, I enter his courts with thanksgiving and I enter in with gladness and joy because I know what God is doing. 00:42:23.922 --> 00:42:28.023 He will never fail me, he will never leave me. 00:42:28.023 --> 00:42:29.503
