you. 00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:28.352 Today we want to talk about keys to unprecedented solutions. 00:00:28.352 --> 00:00:35.828 Hello, this month we've been talking about empowered. 00:00:35.828 --> 00:00:38.762 What Empowered? 00:00:38.762 --> 00:00:45.026 Talk to me Empowered, and who is our breakthrough? 00:00:45.026 --> 00:00:48.185 The Lord is our breakthrough. 00:00:48.185 --> 00:01:02.709 I believe that in a service like this, where we spend some time to teach the reason why we teach, so that is, you're able to understand and when you are able to understand, you are able to apply. 00:01:02.709 --> 00:01:04.682 Buanas, if you will. 00:01:04.682 --> 00:01:09.884 We teach so that you can understand. 00:01:09.884 --> 00:01:14.510 You understand so that you can apply. 00:01:14.510 --> 00:01:21.871 Sundays, we tend to preach so that you can be inspired. 00:01:21.871 --> 00:01:23.426 Buanas, if you will. 00:01:23.426 --> 00:01:31.953 When we get inspired, you get the energy to engage your week on a level that God wants you to be. 00:01:31.953 --> 00:01:48.831 Today, we want to teach and to continue talking about empowered breakthrough, and one of the lessons we've been talking about is the Lord is our breakthrough. 00:01:48.831 --> 00:01:56.000 I pray that that really connects to you, that you are not looking for a breakthrough. 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.908 Never look for a breakthrough. 00:01:57.908 --> 00:02:01.289 Look for the one who breaks through. 00:02:01.289 --> 00:02:07.549 Let me say that again Don't look for a breakthrough. 00:02:07.549 --> 00:02:24.782 Look for the one who does what, who breaks through, because if you're looking for a breakthrough, it means that you're making some effort to break through something and God does not want you to break your backbone, hallelujah. 00:02:24.782 --> 00:02:33.979 God wants you to get answers, solutions, and today we want to look at the story, really, the background. 00:02:33.979 --> 00:02:39.735 Then I'll give you the lessons of Elijah in 1 Kings 17. 00:02:39.735 --> 00:02:45.067 And I want to read those verses, verse 1 to 7. 00:02:45.067 --> 00:03:00.871 Now, elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, all right, so it's important to know what tishbite from tishbe. 00:03:00.871 --> 00:03:09.812 So if you're from Kangemi, you're called a Kangemi Knight. 00:03:09.812 --> 00:03:11.703 Hello. 00:03:11.703 --> 00:03:33.485 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab Now, king Ahab was a very evil king and so he created an atmosphere where God just needed to judge the land because of Baal worship People who are worshiping idols. 00:03:33.485 --> 00:03:37.487 So he uses Elijah to bring this judgment. 00:03:37.487 --> 00:03:40.889 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab. 00:03:40.889 --> 00:03:48.087 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab. 00:03:48.087 --> 00:04:06.129 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab. 00:04:06.129 --> 00:04:26.254 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab. 00:04:26.254 --> 00:04:40.000 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab. 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.870 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab. 00:04:43.870 --> 00:04:58.634 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab. 00:04:58.634 --> 00:05:08.853 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab. 00:05:08.853 --> 00:05:14.887 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab. 00:05:14.887 --> 00:05:29.939 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe said to Ahab. 00:05:29.939 --> 00:05:34.646 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab. 00:05:34.646 --> 00:05:50.000 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab. 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.641 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab. 00:05:51.641 --> 00:06:06.490 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab. 00:06:06.490 --> 00:06:16.430 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab. 00:06:16.430 --> 00:06:24.627 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab. 00:06:24.627 --> 00:06:57.353 Now Elijah, the tishbite from tishbe, said to Ahab that problem was self-made and sometimes many of the problems we face are our own making, but there are problems that are caused by demons and Satan. 00:06:58.180 --> 00:07:04.172 The Bible says that thief comes to steal and kill and destroy. 00:07:04.172 --> 00:07:07.728 But I have come that you may have life and have it abundantly. 00:07:07.728 --> 00:07:19.750 Some problems and challenges are caused by the environment we live in, and sometimes just the environment itself is a challenge, is a problem. 00:07:19.750 --> 00:07:25.307 Sometimes it's just the country you live in creates certain problems. 00:07:25.307 --> 00:07:33.288 Uganda may face its own problems that Kenya doesn't have. 00:07:33.288 --> 00:07:36.487 Tanzania may have its own problems that Kenya doesn't have. 00:07:36.487 --> 00:07:40.088 Kenya has problems that are unique to Tanzania. 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:52.500 But I want you to know that, regardless of where you live, god is assuring us today that there is a solution, hallelujah. 00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:57.351 It doesn't matter what county you are in, it doesn't matter what city you are in. 00:07:57.351 --> 00:08:00.887 God knows, you are in that city, god knows. 00:08:00.887 --> 00:08:03.221 You are in that county, god knows. 00:08:03.221 --> 00:08:05.807 You are in that estate, god knows. 00:08:05.807 --> 00:08:14.310 He knows, and because he knows, he has put together and designed the solutions that you need for that particular situation. 00:08:14.310 --> 00:08:28.511 Sometimes it's just the career you're in that is a problem and not the career itself, maybe the people who are in charge of that workstation. 00:08:28.511 --> 00:08:31.223 They say challenges, you're facing problems. 00:08:31.223 --> 00:08:33.788 They say you know what will I do. 00:08:33.788 --> 00:08:57.702 And then sometimes the problem is just inside you and when you try to run away from the problem and the problem is inside you, if you're in place A and you have a problem when you go to place B, you carry the problem with you and sometimes you are your own problem. 00:08:57.702 --> 00:09:06.929 But today I want to tell you this God, who is your breakthrough, is able to give you unprecedented solutions. 00:09:06.929 --> 00:09:22.429 Now, when we talk about unprecedented solutions, it's solutions that come from places you never even thought they would come from, and God is the one who knows how to create those unprecedented solutions. 00:09:22.429 --> 00:09:33.268 God never discusses with your problems, he solves them, hallelujah, he solves them. 00:09:33.268 --> 00:09:42.092 And so it is my prayer that as we look at God, our breakthrough, that your eyes will be open to see that God has a solution for you. 00:09:42.092 --> 00:09:45.687 Let me read these verses and then I'll come back to this. 00:09:46.229 --> 00:09:53.972 Elijah story, 1 Corinthians, chapter 9, chapter 2, sorry verse 9 and 10 tells us this. 00:09:53.972 --> 00:09:54.933 This is a verse you know. 00:09:54.933 --> 00:10:22.628 The Bible says this, however, as it is written what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, what no human mind has conceived, the things God has prepared for those who love Him, these are the things God has revealed to us by His Spirit, the Spirit such as all things, even the deep things of God. 00:10:22.628 --> 00:10:25.653 In other words, god has a solution. 00:10:25.653 --> 00:10:34.833 Your eyes may not see it now, your ears may not have heard of it before, your heart may not have conceived it, but God has prepared. 00:10:34.833 --> 00:10:39.745 Let me go to that verse verse 10, verse 9,. 00:10:39.745 --> 00:10:40.807 Just go back to verse 9. 00:10:40.807 --> 00:10:57.224 The Bible says this, however, as it is written what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard and what no human mind has conceived, the things God has done, what Prepared for who? 00:10:57.224 --> 00:10:59.147 For those who love Him. 00:10:59.147 --> 00:11:00.970 This verse is familiar with another verse. 00:11:00.970 --> 00:11:03.474 Let me read it also Romans 8, 28. 00:11:03.474 --> 00:11:29.000 Romans 8, 28 says this it's a familiar verse for us and it says and we know that in some things, in all things, god works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called, according to what His purpose. 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.961 So God has a purpose. 00:11:30.961 --> 00:11:41.875 And so when God put Elijah, that tish bite, in a situation of serious farming, he also had a solution. 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:45.044 Now, remember who declared the farming itself in the first place? 00:11:45.044 --> 00:11:48.971 Let me ask again who declared the farming? 00:11:48.971 --> 00:11:53.304 Elijah, now, god did not take him to another country. 00:11:53.304 --> 00:11:58.395 He stayed in the country where the farming was going to be, and that farming affected him. 00:11:58.395 --> 00:12:04.424 Hello, now, how long do you think the famine was? 00:12:04.424 --> 00:12:16.280 Talk to me Three years, three years, hello. 00:12:16.280 --> 00:12:22.126 So just ask your neighbor, briefly, did you ever go to Sunday school? 00:12:22.126 --> 00:12:28.393 Just ask them. 00:12:28.393 --> 00:12:34.402 Okay, three years, that's close, but it was basically around three and a half years. 00:12:36.323 --> 00:12:44.390 Now, when Elisha came, his famine was for how long, elisha? 00:12:44.390 --> 00:12:46.092 He came after Elijah. 00:12:46.092 --> 00:12:48.455 How long was his famine? 00:12:48.455 --> 00:12:55.203 Talk to me Two, seven years. 00:12:55.203 --> 00:13:01.110 So three and a half plus three and a half is seven years. 00:13:01.110 --> 00:13:16.470 Now Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah's anointing, and so if Elijah had three and a half problems, elisha ended up with how many problems? 00:13:16.470 --> 00:13:27.261 Seven, hello, elisha did miracles, and Elisha did double those miracles, hallelujah. 00:13:28.163 --> 00:13:41.345 So let me tell you this Regardless of your situation, god has a solution for every problem that is created on this earth, and I'm going to show you how he does it. 00:13:41.345 --> 00:13:45.312 But three things I want you to remember in this message. 00:13:45.312 --> 00:13:49.217 Number one be solution minded. 00:13:49.217 --> 00:13:50.240 That's number one. 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:55.826 Number two be spiritually connected. 00:13:55.826 --> 00:14:00.450 And number three be success oriented. 00:14:00.450 --> 00:14:10.342 So let me say that one more time Be solution minded, then be spiritually connected and then be success oriented. 00:14:10.342 --> 00:14:19.032 These are keys that will help you to become the solution that God wants you to be. 00:14:19.032 --> 00:14:29.543 You have to be solution minded, spiritually connected, success oriented, and Elijah was these things. 00:14:29.543 --> 00:14:37.754 Even though there was a problem in the land, he still knew their solutions to the problems that have been created. 00:14:37.754 --> 00:14:42.368 He was spiritually connected to God and he was success oriented. 00:14:42.368 --> 00:14:44.131 He knew that God will come through. 00:14:45.094 --> 00:14:48.220 Let me show you this verse in James that talks about Elijah. 00:14:48.220 --> 00:14:52.946 James, chapter five, verse 16. 00:14:52.946 --> 00:14:54.727 Let me read it 16 and 17. 00:14:54.727 --> 00:15:04.240 The Bible says this about Elijah and it says therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:10.086 The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. 00:15:10.086 --> 00:15:11.128 Now look at verse 17. 00:15:11.607 --> 00:15:16.173 Elijah was a human being, even as we are. 00:15:16.173 --> 00:15:20.341 In other words, he was just like you, hallelujah. 00:15:20.341 --> 00:15:26.630 He was not superhuman, he was not extraordinary, he was just a human being. 00:15:26.630 --> 00:15:33.240 But he was solution minded, spiritually connected, success oriented. 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:58.855 So tell your neighbor, I don't care what you decide, tell your neighbor, I don't care what you decide, but I'm going to be solution minded, I'm going to be spiritually connected and I'm going to be success oriented, hallelujah. 00:15:58.855 --> 00:16:01.003 So let me finish. 00:16:01.003 --> 00:16:04.447 Elijah was a human being, even as we are. 00:16:04.447 --> 00:16:12.240 Then he prayed honestly that he do not train, and he did not train on the land for three and a half years. 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:20.232 The next verse again he prayed and the heavens gave rain and the earth produced its crops. 00:16:20.232 --> 00:16:30.451 So you are in the same position as Elijah was, but he found solutions. 00:16:31.913 --> 00:16:34.235 Let me start with a solution be solution minded. 00:16:34.235 --> 00:16:40.230 Let me read verse two to four of that chapter, first Kings. 00:16:40.230 --> 00:16:52.235 The Bible says this Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah Live here, turn eastward and hide in the carith ravine. 00:16:52.235 --> 00:16:56.033 Now let me read this in the New King James, because there's something I want to pick from that. 00:16:56.033 --> 00:16:58.220 Start with verse two. 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:07.734 Then the word of the Lord came to him saying get away from here and turn eastward and hide by the brook carith. 00:17:07.734 --> 00:17:16.151 Now, of course it's written CH, but CH in Hebrew it sounds ha. 00:17:16.151 --> 00:17:18.013 Now just say ha. 00:17:18.013 --> 00:17:21.222 Okay, so you say carith. 00:17:21.222 --> 00:17:29.134 All right, carith, even though sometimes it's written K or CH, is carith, which flows from the Jordan. 00:17:29.134 --> 00:17:37.594 Okay, and it will be that you shall drink from the brook and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there. 00:17:38.902 --> 00:17:47.167 So he went and did according to the word of the Lord, for he went and stayed by the brook carith, or charith, so like some people say it, which flows into the Jordan. 00:17:47.167 --> 00:17:56.113 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. 00:17:56.113 --> 00:17:58.221 Now look at your neighbor. 00:17:58.221 --> 00:18:06.060 Until your neighbor, ravens are not very generous, hallelujah. 00:18:06.060 --> 00:18:15.794 Ravens are not very generous, but God decided that somebody who is not generous will be generous for you when you need that help. 00:18:15.794 --> 00:18:28.894 I'm talking to somebody right now, but there is something that God did because I want you to get a revelation, because sometimes, when we teach, it's a revelation we are looking for, because the word of God is important. 00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:32.605 Now, here particular, we are talking about the wisdom key. 00:18:32.605 --> 00:18:40.240 Elijah needed a wisdom key, and the key is to unprecedented solution. 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.704 One of them is the wisdom key. 00:18:42.704 --> 00:18:46.011 Wisdom is just not information. 00:18:46.011 --> 00:18:50.288 Hallelujah, we have a lot of information. 00:18:50.288 --> 00:18:55.451 Go to YouTube, go to Google, go to those places. 00:18:55.451 --> 00:18:58.240 You'll get a lot of information. 00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:02.770 But one of the things you will not get is wisdom. 00:19:04.082 --> 00:19:07.070 The Bible says if any man lacks wisdom, let him do what? 00:19:07.070 --> 00:19:15.453 Let him ask God, who gives generously to those who ask him, and let them not doubt. 00:19:15.453 --> 00:19:18.326 So wisdom is very key. 00:19:18.326 --> 00:19:25.772 Let me read a verse here which is a very interesting verse Job 38, verse 41. 00:19:25.772 --> 00:19:31.570 This is what the Bible says about ravens Job 38, verse 41. 00:19:31.570 --> 00:19:36.247 It says who provides food for who? 00:19:36.247 --> 00:19:44.291 For the raven, when it's young, cry out to God and wonder about for lack of food. 00:19:44.291 --> 00:19:55.590 Now, god gives food to the raven, and ravens are not that generous, but God caused this particular raven to supply food for Elijah. 00:19:55.590 --> 00:20:02.651 But there's something that God is trying to teach Elijah and he's trying to get his attention and show him. 00:20:02.651 --> 00:20:09.471 Even in farming, you can be well fed, no matter what happens. 00:20:10.601 --> 00:20:15.568 I'm talking to somebody right now because for some of you, the month is at the corner. 00:20:15.568 --> 00:20:21.346 Have you ever heard that statement? 00:20:21.346 --> 00:20:25.468 Muazi, you go to a corner. 00:20:25.468 --> 00:20:33.211 Let me tell you this God can bless you so much that there is no month that will have a corner for you. 00:20:33.211 --> 00:20:36.548 Somebody better receive that in Jesus' name. 00:20:36.548 --> 00:20:38.001 No month. 00:20:38.001 --> 00:20:40.248 God doesn't want you to always be having these corners. 00:20:40.248 --> 00:20:48.151 In the month, and especially from the 20th, there's a lot of corners and you just wonder if you're going to survive. 00:20:48.151 --> 00:20:51.182 With God, you're going to have a solution. 00:20:54.441 --> 00:21:02.152 But there's something God said to Elijah Say now listen to that verse, go back to that scripture, because we need a wisdom key. 00:21:02.152 --> 00:21:04.247 Tell your neighbor there's a wisdom key we need. 00:21:04.247 --> 00:21:17.808 It says let me go to verse three and four, because I want to pick that so that I can rock that in your spirit and we can go ahead. 00:21:17.808 --> 00:21:22.644 Leave here, turn eastward and here Hide in the carat, ravine. 00:21:22.644 --> 00:21:27.682 All right, now take it back to the New King James, because there's something I want to pick from the New King James. 00:21:27.682 --> 00:21:33.286 All right, okay, thank you. 00:21:33.286 --> 00:21:48.904 Get away from here and turn eastward and hide by the brook chariot or heriot or carat, which flows into the Jordan, and it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have done what. 00:21:48.904 --> 00:21:51.866 Now I want you to catch that. 00:21:51.866 --> 00:21:58.910 I have commanded the revents to feed you there. 00:21:58.910 --> 00:22:18.069 And do you know that for Elijah, the solution was so amazing that God can take a bud that is not that generous, and it becomes generous simply because God has commanded it. 00:22:18.069 --> 00:22:24.909 Now the next verse let me go there, because I'll come back. 00:22:25.259 --> 00:22:27.486 Verse nine go to fast, king 17,. 00:22:27.486 --> 00:22:32.486 Nine it says arise, go where? 00:22:32.486 --> 00:22:38.550 To Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. 00:22:38.550 --> 00:22:57.702 By the way, sidon is now outside Israel, it's up north, and so sometimes you're going outside the territory Hello, but in that territory it was also affected by the famine and there's a woman there from Zarephath. 00:22:57.702 --> 00:23:02.128 So, arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. 00:23:02.128 --> 00:23:04.263 See, I have done what. 00:23:04.263 --> 00:23:12.766 I've commanded a widow there to do, what To provide for you. 00:23:12.766 --> 00:23:19.171 Now, a proper solution is this. 00:23:19.171 --> 00:23:33.253 This is what we're talking about unprecedented solution, a good solution is this If ravens are not generous, why use ravens to feed you? 00:23:33.253 --> 00:23:37.069 You need to use another bud that is very generous. 00:23:37.069 --> 00:23:38.500 That is what. 00:23:38.520 --> 00:23:45.602 Sometimes, when you have issues financially, you look for a guy who is quite rich. 00:23:45.602 --> 00:23:53.980 Hello, because you know he has Limited to this. 00:23:53.980 --> 00:24:00.442 Rich people have but kutoh. 00:24:00.442 --> 00:24:08.989 That's why you can get very, very upset with them. 00:24:08.989 --> 00:24:11.567 So, but please never get upset with the rich people. 00:24:11.567 --> 00:24:17.107 Pray for them, celebrate them, because one of these days you'll be one of those rich people. 00:24:17.107 --> 00:24:25.672 You want to be celebrated, but God is telling you let me show you solutions or how to handle this. 00:24:26.619 --> 00:24:48.465 Rather than go to a rich man to help you, go to somebody you think cannot help you, because, because they cannot, if they do, the glory will not be theirs but God's, because God has used them to meet your need. 00:24:48.465 --> 00:24:52.013 Let me talk to these ones here. 00:24:52.013 --> 00:24:53.272 I don't know if there's faith. 00:24:53.272 --> 00:24:57.170 Let me talk. 00:24:57.170 --> 00:25:01.641 You know, sometimes you can think you don't have Kumbhbe. 00:25:01.641 --> 00:25:07.200 God has made sure you don't have so that he can channel what he has through you. 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:13.022 Let me talk to the people on this side. 00:25:16.140 --> 00:25:18.189 Sometimes you think I must have to do. 00:25:18.189 --> 00:25:21.367 No, it's not a matter of I must have. 00:25:21.367 --> 00:25:26.046 The wisdom is this you must connect to the God who has. 00:25:26.046 --> 00:25:36.307 And when you connect to the God who has, then it doesn't matter what you have, because now you become a channel through which God can send anything. 00:25:36.307 --> 00:25:46.826 And so God uses a ribbon and he says I've commanded the ribbon, something you never expected can do anything. 00:25:46.826 --> 00:26:12.968 I have commanded a widow, who actually is the one who needs help, but that widow will provide for you, for the rest of the family, and it's not because the widow has, it's because I have positioned her to meet your need, the people God is positioning for you in this season and time, and they don't look like it. 00:26:12.968 --> 00:26:26.463 Some of them do not stay in mansions, they stay in things that we call cage. 00:26:26.463 --> 00:26:32.246 Hello, now, that's a Hebrew. 00:26:32.246 --> 00:26:34.125 Just ask your neighbor what is a cage. 00:26:34.125 --> 00:26:35.804 Just ask them. 00:26:35.804 --> 00:26:36.967 You know what is that? 00:26:36.967 --> 00:26:37.528 What is that? 00:26:37.528 --> 00:26:41.664 One has a fever. 00:26:50.099 --> 00:27:02.094 One time and I hope I can finish this one time our house help needed a bad certificate. 00:27:02.094 --> 00:27:07.708 Now for a bad certificate. 00:27:07.708 --> 00:27:14.846 Then she needs whatever, she needs an ID and all, but she did not have a bad certificate because of some challenges in life. 00:27:14.846 --> 00:27:19.106 And maybe you're sitting here and you're grown up but you don't have a bad certificate. 00:27:19.106 --> 00:27:20.451 You have an ID. 00:27:20.451 --> 00:27:23.180 I don't know how you got it, but you have a bad certificate. 00:27:23.180 --> 00:27:30.568 Now, usually it is a challenge when now you're going to get a passport, because to get a passport you actually read what Bad certificate? 00:27:30.568 --> 00:27:36.344 Now, if you want to get a bad certificate, for that time was thinking how do we get a bad certificate, how do we get this bad certificate? 00:27:36.344 --> 00:27:42.469 And so you're now thinking of people in the places where they issue bad certificates. 00:27:45.259 --> 00:27:48.710 But the unprecedented solution did not come from those people. 00:27:48.710 --> 00:27:50.926 It came from somebody we never even thought about. 00:27:50.926 --> 00:28:00.125 That person was Marongo Now Marongo Ewkoja. 00:28:00.125 --> 00:28:04.002 This is the Raven. 00:28:04.002 --> 00:28:10.625 Just come here Now. 00:28:10.625 --> 00:28:19.711 Does this guy look like a guy from immigration, does he look anything close to that? 00:28:19.711 --> 00:28:26.723 But I don't know how we were talking and somehow he got to hear about it and he said you turn your chair, that's how he talks. 00:28:26.723 --> 00:28:45.865 Before long we got the bad certificate People you didn't expect and, by the way, don't start looking for him after the service. 00:28:47.740 --> 00:29:01.926 God may have moved him from looking for bad certificates to looking for other things, but you see, god will use people you did not expect in your life to open a door for you, because people are networked in amazing ways. 00:29:01.926 --> 00:29:06.150 If you're going to reach anybody in the world, all you need to know is four people. 00:29:06.150 --> 00:29:18.280 If you want to reach Seattle Washington, you just need to know four people, because, if I know him, he has a network. 00:29:18.280 --> 00:29:34.063 One of those people in that network has also networks and somebody else in that network knows has networks and before you know it, you connect to an entire world by just reaching out to one person. 00:29:34.063 --> 00:29:42.046 Only God can tell you who is carrying the food in their mouth. 00:29:42.046 --> 00:29:58.224 That's where the God wisdom comes in, because not all of us are carrying the solutions and sometimes what you thought post-ambros can do for you, somebody who has not even have a call into the ministry can do for you. 00:29:58.224 --> 00:30:03.865 So that's why, when you come to church, it is important to know who you are sitting next to. 00:30:03.865 --> 00:30:06.160 They may become your door opener. 00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:20.297 And if you're not sitting next to somebody, just encourage yourself and say there is an angel nearby, sour pasta, amen, don't be game of coffee. 00:30:24.494 --> 00:30:25.779 Let me tell you about this wisdom. 00:30:25.779 --> 00:30:29.665 Let's go to Proverbs, chapter 4, verse 4. 00:30:29.665 --> 00:30:35.221 This is Solomon, and God is talking to Solomon and this is what he says to Solomon about wisdom. 00:30:35.221 --> 00:30:43.000 Let me pick it from, actually verse 1, so that you know what Solomon is saying, and then we shall tie this message. 00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:46.335 I told you this evening is a time of teaching. 00:30:46.335 --> 00:30:56.982 So it says this here, my children, the instruction of a father, and give attention to no understanding, for I give you good doctrine, do not forsake my law. 00:30:56.982 --> 00:31:05.087 And then he says in the next verse when I was my father's son, tender and the only one in the sight of my mother. 00:31:05.087 --> 00:31:06.519 Now this is Solomon talking. 00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:07.978 Who was his father? 00:31:07.978 --> 00:31:09.816 David? 00:31:09.816 --> 00:31:10.598 Who was his mother? 00:31:10.598 --> 00:31:17.664 Talk to me, say that name, hallelujah. 00:31:17.664 --> 00:31:18.858 So this is what he's saying. 00:31:20.095 --> 00:31:26.181 He also taught me and said to me Let your heart retain my words, keep my commands and live. 00:31:26.181 --> 00:31:33.263 Then he says get wisdom, get understanding, do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth. 00:31:33.263 --> 00:31:38.340 Do not forsake her, for she will preserve you, love her and she will keep you. 00:31:38.340 --> 00:31:42.659 Wisdom is what the principal thing. 00:31:42.659 --> 00:31:51.923 Therefore get wisdom and in all you're getting, get understanding, exalt her and she will promote you. 00:31:51.923 --> 00:31:53.678 Hallelujah. 00:31:53.678 --> 00:32:02.885 She will bring you honor when you embrace her, she will place on your head an ornament of grace, a crown of glory. 00:32:02.885 --> 00:32:04.641 She will deliver to you. 00:32:04.641 --> 00:32:16.540 In other words, god is saying my wisdom and the wisdom of God for Elijah was this I have commanded a raven, I have commanded a widow. 00:32:17.815 --> 00:32:21.365 People or things you don't believe can do anything for you. 00:32:21.365 --> 00:32:24.977 But he commanded Hallelujah. 00:32:24.977 --> 00:32:27.921 But be solution oriented. 00:32:27.921 --> 00:32:31.885 Know that, no matter what problem you face, there is a solution. 00:32:31.885 --> 00:32:36.696 Currently you don't see it, but it is there, it will come. 00:32:38.875 --> 00:32:41.122 Never say not just as little things about. 00:32:41.122 --> 00:32:42.557 Somebody says I am stuck. 00:32:42.557 --> 00:32:45.298 You have ever heard that statement? 00:32:45.298 --> 00:32:48.759 I am what I'm stuck in Kisweli and I'm a quamer. 00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:50.484 I'm a quamer. 00:32:50.484 --> 00:32:54.557 Never say those things. 00:32:54.557 --> 00:33:01.596 You may just have a temporary disengagement, hallelujah. 00:33:01.596 --> 00:33:08.564 But very soon God is going to make a way where there seems to be no way. 00:33:08.564 --> 00:33:12.069 I'm talking to somebody. 00:33:12.069 --> 00:33:20.480 God is going to make a way where there seems to be no way Because, remember, he is your breakthrough, he's breaking out for you, he's making your way. 00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:28.760 All you need is your ear so that your attentive when he tells you go to the brook and pass the rigs. 00:33:33.234 --> 00:33:37.765 If he spoke to the raven, I believe he also spoke to the brook. 00:33:37.765 --> 00:33:42.159 Hello Says Elijah is coming. 00:33:42.159 --> 00:33:45.163 He needs water, bread and water. 00:33:45.163 --> 00:33:46.077 Can you imagine this guy? 00:33:46.077 --> 00:33:54.882 His life was good in the morning and in the evening, but the Bible says something happened. 00:33:54.882 --> 00:33:57.959 So let me read around verse 6. 00:33:57.959 --> 00:34:02.942 Go to the scripture Around verse 6, verse 7, by the way. 00:34:02.942 --> 00:34:12.983 And it happened after a while that the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. 00:34:14.135 --> 00:34:16.994 Now let me tell you this God is creative. 00:34:16.994 --> 00:34:20.514 He may stop some things, not because you did a sin. 00:34:20.514 --> 00:34:24.061 He just wants to be creative, hallelujah. 00:34:24.061 --> 00:34:34.634 He can provide here and he can provide there, and he can provide down here, he can provide up there. 00:34:34.634 --> 00:34:43.447 He just wants to be creative and sometimes he allows even what he talked to to dry up so he can show you something else. 00:34:43.447 --> 00:35:02.373 And, by the way, if he was at the brook, he was outside and there was no house, so he needed to take him to a widow's house where there was shelter so that he could eat when he's covered. 00:35:02.373 --> 00:35:03.394 Thank you, jesus. 00:35:03.394 --> 00:35:11.181 But the good thing about Elijah was this he was spiritually connected, so that every time God spoke, he was there to listen. 00:35:14.034 --> 00:35:15.612 I want to talk to somebody here today. 00:35:15.612 --> 00:35:27.143 Not only should you be solution minded, be spiritually connected so that when God is looking for you, he can find you, he can find you, he can find you. 00:35:27.143 --> 00:35:30.909 Be spiritually connected. 00:35:30.909 --> 00:35:36.114 One of the ways we are spiritually connected today is to be spiritually connected. 00:35:36.114 --> 00:35:40.659 One of the ways we are spiritually connected today is because we are in the kingdom. 00:35:40.659 --> 00:35:48.182 You know this verse that says thy kingdom come, thy will be done. 00:35:48.182 --> 00:35:51.418 So be connected to the kingdom, be connected to God's presence. 00:35:51.418 --> 00:35:55.322 Let me show you these verses Matthew, chapter 6, verse 25. 00:35:56.235 --> 00:36:04.583 And I'm trying to wrap up this message because I want you to just learn something, I want you to catch something, I want you to understand something so that you can run with it. 00:36:04.583 --> 00:36:14.003 I said, therefore, I said to you do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, not about your body. 00:36:14.003 --> 00:36:16.619 What you will put on. 00:36:16.619 --> 00:36:20.882 Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 00:36:20.882 --> 00:36:31.764 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither saw nor rip, nor gather into bands, yet your heavenly Father does what Feeds them. 00:36:31.764 --> 00:36:35.342 Hallelujah, are you not more valuable than they? 00:36:35.342 --> 00:36:40.585 Which of you, by worrying, can add one qubit to his stature? 00:36:40.585 --> 00:36:44.244 So why do you worry about clothing? 00:36:44.244 --> 00:36:48.144 Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. 00:36:48.144 --> 00:36:50.001 They neither toil nor spin. 00:36:50.001 --> 00:36:59.206 And yet I said to you that even Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these. 00:37:00.635 --> 00:37:11.126 Now, if God so clothed the grass of the field which today is and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more cloth you or you of little faith? 00:37:11.126 --> 00:37:12.518 Tell your neighbor, god will cloth me. 00:37:12.518 --> 00:37:16.280 I'll tell your neighbor, god will cloth me. 00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:21.822 Hallelujah, I'll tell them with faith, god will cloth me. 00:37:21.822 --> 00:37:24.376 But you know what we say. 00:37:24.376 --> 00:37:26.340 But clothing is my responsibility. 00:37:26.340 --> 00:37:31.800 No wonder, your cloth the way, your cloth. 00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:37.786 When God takes over, even Solomon will become envious. 00:37:37.786 --> 00:37:44.121 Hello, may God cloth you, May God cover your shame. 00:37:44.121 --> 00:37:48.063 May God just embrace you with his love and care. 00:37:48.063 --> 00:38:06.246 And so vast 31 says therefore, do not worry about saying what shall we eat or what shall we drink or what shall we wear, for after all these things, the gentile, sick for your heavenly father knows that you need all these things. 00:38:06.246 --> 00:38:07.958 So what are you supposed to do? 00:38:07.958 --> 00:38:19.726 Seek fast the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 00:38:19.726 --> 00:38:30.684 In other words, be in the kingdom where God can find you, be connected to the kingdom where God can find you. 00:38:30.684 --> 00:38:35.516 I'm saying, be in the kingdom where God can do what Find you. 00:38:40.195 --> 00:38:44.224 Let me finish with that story of the woman of Zarifah. 00:38:44.224 --> 00:38:45.858 Let me pick it up. 00:38:45.858 --> 00:38:48.380 What verse was it? 00:38:48.380 --> 00:38:50.159 Verse 8. 00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:54.175 Let's go there and just wrap it up with this lady. 00:38:54.436 --> 00:38:57.043 The Bible says this be success oriented. 00:38:57.043 --> 00:38:59.702 Expect God to do amazing things. 00:38:59.702 --> 00:39:06.867 Then the word of the Lord came saying to him arise, go to Zarifah, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. 00:39:06.867 --> 00:39:10.824 See, I have commanded Aweido there to provide for you. 00:39:10.824 --> 00:39:17.182 So he arose and went to Zarifah, and when he came to the gate of the city, indeed, aweido was there. 00:39:17.182 --> 00:39:19.442 Now I want you to see the mindset of this Aweido. 00:39:19.442 --> 00:39:25.195 And yet God was so good that God could still use her in the way she was thinking. 00:39:25.195 --> 00:39:34.206 So she was gathering sticks and he called to her and said please bring me a little water in a cup that I may drink. 00:39:34.206 --> 00:39:42.005 And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand. 00:39:42.757 --> 00:39:45.483 So for Elijah, he was success oriented. 00:39:45.483 --> 00:39:52.163 Though he saw this woman cannot provide anything to him, he still said I know you can do it. 00:39:52.163 --> 00:39:54.619 I know you can do it. 00:39:54.619 --> 00:39:57.045 I know you can do it why? 00:39:57.045 --> 00:40:00.065 Because God already told me you can do it. 00:40:00.065 --> 00:40:02.155 I'm talking to somebody right now. 00:40:02.155 --> 00:40:06.284 I'm saying God is going to do it for you. 00:40:06.284 --> 00:40:10.304 It doesn't look like it, but you're a success already. 00:40:10.304 --> 00:40:13.583 I'm looking at somebody and says you're a success already. 00:40:13.583 --> 00:40:17.483 God never made a failure anywhere on this planet. 00:40:17.483 --> 00:40:22.804 You're a success already, though you came walking to church and you're walking back home. 00:40:22.804 --> 00:40:24.079 You're a success already. 00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:30.559 Hallelujah, the Bible says so. 00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:32.985 She said now listen, this is her mindset. 00:40:32.985 --> 00:40:34.239 This is how she said it. 00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:39.387 So she said as the Lord, your God, lives. 00:40:39.387 --> 00:40:41.605 Now remember, it is not her God. 00:40:41.605 --> 00:40:42.067 Who's God? 00:40:42.067 --> 00:40:43.614 Is it Elijah's God. 00:40:43.614 --> 00:40:47.344 That's why sometimes I thank God for people. 00:40:47.423 --> 00:40:57.782 When you don't have faith, all you need to say is this Jehovah, god, I may not have a lot of faith, but I'm tagging on to the faith of Ambrose. 00:40:57.782 --> 00:41:02.860 You know how you tag people. 00:41:02.860 --> 00:41:10.717 Tag to my faith Because sometimes you don't have zero Reserve tank in Asia. 00:41:10.717 --> 00:41:27.384 Now you better tag on Ambrose's faith and you better be sure that Ambrose's faith is full tank Because it can also be on reserve, on reserve tank to Nishia water. 00:41:27.384 --> 00:41:34.402 But you see, the reason why I stand here is because I'm always on full tank. 00:41:34.402 --> 00:41:39.579 I'm telling you I'm always on full tank. 00:41:39.579 --> 00:41:51.579 Don't tag on a guy who, when we reach the petrol station and I'm here, 200 of Adali, 200 in manufacture from here, 200. 00:41:51.579 --> 00:42:03.505 Look at your neighbor. 00:42:03.505 --> 00:42:05.867 Until your neighbor, my portion is full tank. 00:42:05.867 --> 00:42:10.237 Somebody better receive it. 00:42:13.175 --> 00:42:16.000 So she say as a Lord, your God lives. 00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:27.226 I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin and a little oil in a jar and sea. 00:42:27.226 --> 00:42:36.548 I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son. 00:42:36.548 --> 00:42:45.364 So forget telling me to send me anywhere, but I may prepare it for myself and my son that we may eat it. 00:42:45.364 --> 00:42:53.664 What a mindset, not success oriented, shows totally on a failure point. 00:42:53.664 --> 00:42:58.184 I am finished, it is done, and you are asking me to even give you something. 00:43:02.460 --> 00:43:08.849 What she didn't know is that Elijah was going to say something that God had said Listen to this. 00:43:08.849 --> 00:43:13.960 And Elijah said to her do not fear, go and do as you have said. 00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:21.804 Make a small cake from it first and bring it to me, and afterward make some for yourself and your son. 00:43:21.804 --> 00:43:32.663 Now listen where he was basing that faith, for thus says the God of Israel the bin of flour shall not be used up. 00:43:32.663 --> 00:43:43.246 No, shall the jar of oil run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth. 00:43:43.246 --> 00:43:49.983 Hallelujah, thank God. 00:43:49.983 --> 00:43:54.583 So she went away and did according to the word of the word of. 00:43:54.583 --> 00:44:03.324 And she said and she and her and her household ate for how many days? 00:44:03.324 --> 00:44:05.617 How many days? 00:44:05.617 --> 00:44:08.878 Tell your neighbor, full tank is my portion. 00:44:08.878 --> 00:44:15.739 Hallelujah, For many days, but first the rigs. 00:44:15.739 --> 00:44:20.125 This is the point that God was trying to communicate to this gentleman. 00:44:20.125 --> 00:44:41.039 He says this If you need a solution, speak to the raven, speak to the widow, speak to the jar of flour, speak to the bin of flour, speak to the jar of oil. 00:44:42.614 --> 00:44:45.963 Don't discuss how it is depleting. 00:44:45.963 --> 00:44:49.940 Decree, it shall not deplete. 00:44:49.940 --> 00:45:01.367 Tell it what it should be and not what it is becoming. 00:45:01.367 --> 00:45:07.115
