Speaker 1: The scripture we have today is Isaiah 43, verse 10 to 20.
Speaker 1: You can either say Isaiah, isaiah, isaiah, all those.
Speaker 1: Verse 10 says you are my witnesses, declares the Lord and my servant, whom I have chosen so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he.
Speaker 1: Before me no God was formed, nor will there be one after me.
Speaker 1: Even I am the Lord, and apart from me there is no Savior.
Speaker 1: I have revealed and saved unproclaimed.
Speaker 1: I am not some foreign God among you.
Speaker 1: You are my witnesses, declares the Lord, that I am God.
Speaker 1: Yes, and from ancient days I am he.
Speaker 1: No one can deliver out of my hand when I act.
Speaker 1: Who can reverse it?
Speaker 1: This is what the Lord says.
Speaker 1: Your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, for your sake, I will send to Babylon and bring down as fugitives all the Babylonians in the ships in which they took pride.
Speaker 1: I am the Lord, your Holy One, israel's Creator, your King.
Speaker 1: This is what the Lord says, he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and their enforcement together, and they lay there, never to rise again, extinguished, snuffed out, like a week.
Speaker 1: Therefore, forget the former things do not dwell on the past.
Speaker 1: See, I am doing a new thing.
Speaker 1: Now it springs up, do you not perceive it?
Speaker 1: I am making a way, in the wilderness and streams in the west lands, the wild animals on a main, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the west lands to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself, that they may proclaim my praise.
Speaker 1: This is God's word and God's promise.
Speaker 1: Amen and amen, please, we may be seated in God's house Today, even as we start.
Speaker 1: This is, by the way, this is our New Year service.
Speaker 1: We didn't have one on the first, and so this Sunday, this is our New Year service and I have a New Year message for us.
Speaker 1: So look at your neighbor.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor new season, new possibilities.
Speaker 1: I tell that neighbor again, because they didn't hear you new season, new possibilities.
Speaker 1: Now tell that neighbor who ignored you new season, new possibilities, amen.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this I don't know what you may have gone through last year, but God has opened a new page.
Speaker 1: God has opened a new page.
Speaker 1: This is a new season with new possibilities.
Speaker 1: Pastor Simon from time to time speaks from a chapter in the book which we always enjoy, and this is the passage in the book of Luke, chapter five.
Speaker 1: It's the story of Peter, and the reason why Pastor Simon loves to preach about that message is because Peter is also called Simon, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: And Simon had a rough night a rough night and maybe you had a rough last year and it was a dark night and you tried to fish and fish and you caught nothing.
Speaker 1: It is true, we had some challenging moments last year.
Speaker 1: Businesses were not in the place they needed to be.
Speaker 1: Maybe the prophets you needed to make you did not make them.
Speaker 1: You went at a loss.
Speaker 1: Maybe relationships did not work out for you.
Speaker 1: Some of you had planned to get married last year.
Speaker 1: It didn't work, hello.
Speaker 1: Some of you just didn't even want to get married.
Speaker 1: You just wanted to be noticed Hello.
Speaker 1: But nobody noticed you and it was not a very nice time.
Speaker 1: And, like Peter, fishing the whole night is an expert.
Speaker 1: You caught nothing.
Speaker 1: It is dark.
Speaker 1: They don't know what they're going to get the next day.
Speaker 1: So the next day comes up and they have no idea that that morning, a new season, new possibilities were coming his way.
Speaker 1: He didn't know that.
Speaker 1: So he's sitting at the show with his friends washing their nets, washing their skills, just sitting there.
Speaker 1: They have nothing to go back home to report.
Speaker 1: No wonder Peter did not go home.
Speaker 1: He knew his mother-in-law was waiting, hello.
Speaker 1: No wonder one time he said how many times should we forgive?
Speaker 1: Hello, there's a mother-in-law in the picture.
Speaker 1: And so, like Peter, it is a dark time, a dark moment.
Speaker 1: But you know, jesus had seen him through that night and Jesus was watching.
Speaker 1: And I want to tell you this last year Jesus watched you in January.
Speaker 1: He watched you in February and March and in April.
Speaker 1: He saw your struggles, he saw your tears.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it was just too much.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you didn't know where to turn.
Speaker 1: Sometimes just putting food at the table was an issue.
Speaker 1: Some of the men here.
Speaker 1: You had a challenge because your wives kept asking you why are you sitting here like a couch potato?
Speaker 1: Go get some work.
Speaker 1: You know, and you really hustled, you really did your best.
Speaker 1: Nothing happened and you walked into 2024 wondering is the same thing going to happen?
Speaker 1: I have good news to tell you New season, new possibilities.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to somebody.
Speaker 1: I'm saying new season, new possibilities.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Yes, last year, apostle Simon, you may have.
Speaker 1: People may have had debts, you know, and they may have read that scripture that says you shall not borrow, you shall be a lender.
Speaker 1: And that story never happened.
Speaker 1: Some of them said I shall be the head and not the tail, but for sure your tail has been wagging all over and you just don't know what to do.
Speaker 1: And you're wondering is this year different?
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this when Jesus shows up, a new season, new possibilities.
Speaker 1: The children of Israel had been going through a difficult time.
Speaker 1: Apostle Simon and in Isaiah 43, indeed, they were going through water.
Speaker 1: So let me read those verses verse one, two and three.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this.
Speaker 1: An amazing chapter.
Speaker 1: When you get time, read through it.
Speaker 1: It says but now, this is what the Lord says, he who created you, jacob.
Speaker 1: I want you to look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor God created me.
Speaker 1: He says, he who formed you, israel.
Speaker 1: Do not fear, because some of the things that you went through have created so much fear in your life.
Speaker 1: Walked into this year with a lot of fear.
Speaker 1: He says do not fear, for I have redeemed you, I have summoned you by name.
Speaker 1: You are mine when you pass through the waters and for sure some of us pass through the waters, I will be with you, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
Speaker 1: When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, the flames will not set your blaze, for I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
Speaker 1: I give Egypt for your ransom, cushion Siba in your stead.
Speaker 1: Then he says that verse 7, I was talking about since you are precious and honored in my sight and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you.
Speaker 1: You have gone through.
Speaker 1: God is saying when now he fast forwards to verse 18, this is what he says and this is what he's telling us today, and he's saying this in verse 18.
Speaker 1: If I can get that on the screen, forget the former things, do not dwell on the past.
Speaker 1: See, I'm doing a new thing.
Speaker 1: Now it springs up.
Speaker 1: Do you not perceive it?
Speaker 1: I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the westlands.
Speaker 1: The wild animals honor me the jackals and alls because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the westlands.
Speaker 1: What God is saying to us today is this when he shows up, things shift.
Speaker 1: When he shows up, things change.
Speaker 1: John the Apostle was on an island called Patmos and on that island he was going through a very dark moment and a dark season of his life.
Speaker 1: This John was a disciple of Jesus.
Speaker 1: This John is the John the Bible says, the disciple Jesus loved.
Speaker 1: This John is the one.
Speaker 1: Peter said God, what will happen to John?
Speaker 1: And Jesus said don't worry about John If I want him to stay alive until I come back.
Speaker 1: What is that to you?
Speaker 1: Ask for you, follow me.
Speaker 1: It is this John who lived much longer than all the other disciples.
Speaker 1: Most of the disciples died along the way, but John stayed his course.
Speaker 1: He finds himself on the island of Patmos.
Speaker 1: It is dark, it is difficult, and he remembers his savior, jesus Christ, who not only died but who rose from the dead.
Speaker 1: They remember themselves on a hill when they saw this Jesus ascending to heaven, and as he was going, he said you know, as he was going, the angel says this man who has gone up this way will come in the same way.
Speaker 1: And then Jesus disappeared.
Speaker 1: It is this John who lived to a time when the Romans came and destroyed Jerusalem and raised it to the ground.
Speaker 1: It is this John who said does God really exist?
Speaker 1: Is God still alive.
Speaker 1: He was in the dark moment of his life and then, in that darkness, god decides to step into that darkness.
Speaker 1: The Bible says in Revelation, chapter 1, about this vision that John saw.
Speaker 1: So let me read it from verse 10, what John the revelator saw and the Bible says on the Lord's day, I was in the spirit and I had behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, which said write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus, smyrna, pagaman, thartara, Sardis, philadelphia and Laudicea.
Speaker 1: I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me and when I turned, I saw seven golden lamestands and among the lamestands was someone like a son of man.
Speaker 1: Now, remember this was Jesus.
Speaker 1: That he was looking at Was a son of man, dressed in a robe, reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.
Speaker 1: The hair on his head was white like a psalm, like a psalmbrose, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: The hair on his head was white like a hole, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that actually the hair of Jesus was white, doesn't mean that, but it's just saying the light that was shining behind him reflected on his hair and it was just like white as well.
Speaker 1: This was splendor, this was glory.
Speaker 1: His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace.
Speaker 1: It is like things were just like if you're in a furnace.
Speaker 1: This was just magnificent.
Speaker 1: He had never seen a Jesus like this, and the Bible says his feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace and his voice like the sounds of a rushing waters.
Speaker 1: In his right hand he held seven stars.
Speaker 1: Coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword.
Speaker 1: His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
Speaker 1: He had never seen Jesus in that light.
Speaker 1: I am telling you.
Speaker 1: Much later he was given the script to write to the different churches.
Speaker 1: Then, in chapter 4, the Bible says this if I can go there, to Voswan Now, remember he's seeing a vision.
Speaker 1: This is a new day.
Speaker 1: When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though I was dead.
Speaker 1: Now take me to chapter 4, voswan.
Speaker 1: After this, I looked and there before me was a door.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor.
Speaker 1: There was a door Standing open in heaven.
Speaker 1: Now, this is not a door in front of him, this is a door in heaven.
Speaker 1: And the voice I heard first I heard first, I had heard first was speaking to me like a trumpet coming up, and he said come up here.
Speaker 1: It was like a trumpet sound.
Speaker 1: In other words, god wanted to get John's attention from his yesterday, he wanted to bring him into today, he wanted to bring him into the now.
Speaker 1: And the trumpet was blowing and God was saying come up here.
Speaker 1: And the Bible says and I will show you what must take place after this the Bible says that once I was in the spirit and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it, and the one who sat there had the appearance of Jasper and Ruby, a rainbow that shone like an emerald and circled the throne, take note and circled the throne, take note and circled the throne, take note and circled the throne.
Speaker 1: Usually a rainbow is just like this one side, one side.
Speaker 1: But you see the floor, the surrounding the floor was made of shining glass and so that rainbow was reflected in the glass and it was a complete circle.
Speaker 1: Right in the middle of it was the King of Glory and God was giving this man a new perspective of himself, and God was saying this is who I am.
Speaker 1: Surrounding the throne were 24 other thrones.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor 24.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, this is 2024.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, and seated on them were 24 elders.
Speaker 1: They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.
Speaker 1: From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder.
Speaker 1: In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing.
Speaker 1: These are the seven spirits of God.
Speaker 1: First four to verse 11.
Speaker 1: The angels were crying, they were praising God, and this is what they were saying in verse 11.
Speaker 1: If you can just take me to verse 11.
Speaker 1: You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created some things, all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.
Speaker 1: In other words, john was saying something that blew his mind Out of the darkness, light was shining.
Speaker 1: I'm saying out of your darkness, light is going to shine in the name of Jesus Christ, and where God steps, things begin to happen.
Speaker 1: Where God steps, things change and so possibilities begin to happen.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor.
Speaker 1: This year is my year of possibilities, three possibilities we want to talk about.
Speaker 1: Number one the possibility of revelation, possibility of new revelation.
Speaker 1: Number two possibility of new opportunities.
Speaker 1: Number three possibility of new favor, revelation, opportunities, favor.
Speaker 1: And there's much more.
Speaker 1: But today I want to talk about three of them.
Speaker 1: So the first one is the revelation, the revelation of somebody called Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you think you know Jesus, and then an akush tua, suddenly you realize you actually did not know him.
Speaker 1: May heesh tua you this year.
Speaker 1: I am saying may heesh tua you this year.
Speaker 1: May he surprise you this year.
Speaker 1: Maybe last year you thought that Jesus just does things this way, he does things that way, he does things this way, but suddenly something happened.
Speaker 1: A new revelation shows up.
Speaker 1: I'm praying that God will reveal himself in a new way in your life in 2024, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: For Peter, jesus suddenly shows himself as the provider.
Speaker 1: The Bible says when Peter was sitting there, jesus comes and he says Peter, excuse me, can I use your boat?
Speaker 1: And Peter, that time he has just given up.
Speaker 1: He's just feeling life.
Speaker 1: Life is not good to him.
Speaker 1: So he tells Jesus you can use it, I'm not using it, just use it.
Speaker 1: It's okay, just use it.
Speaker 1: So Jesus steps in the boat.
Speaker 1: May Jesus step in your boat.
Speaker 1: Jesus steps into that boat, gives a short sermon and, by the way, pastor Simon, jesus sometimes did not give short summons, he gave long summons.
Speaker 1: One time he preached for three days.
Speaker 1: Hello, nobody went for lunch, nobody went for supper.
Speaker 1: After three days they were seriously hungry.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, I will come and eat your food.
Speaker 1: So, but Jesus revealed himself for them that day and told them I am the bread of life For Peter.
Speaker 1: He shows up and then tells Peter, launch into the deep.
Speaker 1: Launch into the deep.
Speaker 1: Peter says but I've been fishing the whole night, I've done my best.
Speaker 1: And let me tell somebody here Jesus has showed up.
Speaker 1: Cast that net.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor Hallelujah, cast this net in Jesus name, amen.
Speaker 1: He says.
Speaker 1: But I've been doing it, I've been doing it, I've been doing it at the best level.
Speaker 1: But then Peter said but because you have said it, but because you have said there is an open door, I will walk through it.
Speaker 1: Because you have said it, I'll do something.
Speaker 1: He casts the net very casually, but when he brings it up, it is full of fish, so much fish.
Speaker 1: Some of them are just jumping up and down and Peter is looking at that and says what just happened?
Speaker 1: This is going to be some of your experiences this month.
Speaker 1: You are going to see them and say what just happened.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this, instead of a way factor.
Speaker 1: Way, way, way, way, way, way.
Speaker 1: You are about to have a wow factor.
Speaker 1: Something is about to change in your life, in Jesus name.
Speaker 1: It was at that time Peter realized that when they put a fish in his boat, it was sinking.
Speaker 1: And he told the other guys hey, sons of Zebedee, come and help us.
Speaker 1: That's when partnerships began.
Speaker 1: Pastor Simon, I'm telling you, god is going to bless you so much.
Speaker 1: You are going to create a partnership.
Speaker 1: You are going to ask for other people to come and assist you and help you, because Jesus showed up.
Speaker 1: Jesus showed up.
Speaker 1: May Jesus show up at your shoreline in Jesus.
Speaker 1: May he step into your boat.
Speaker 1: Oh, that boat was empty.
Speaker 1: Those nets had nothing.
Speaker 1: But in a moment of time, in a season, season of possibilities I just walked in for these guys and Peter felt so unworthy.
Speaker 1: He said Jesus, leave me alone, go away, I don't deserve this.
Speaker 1: And Jesus said you think I've done something big.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this From today, I will help you catch man.
Speaker 1: You've been catching fish, but I'm taking you to the next level.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor you're going to the next level, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: New season, new possibilities in Jesus.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what just happened the other day, I'm telling you something is about to shift.
Speaker 1: Pastor Simon, for 40 miserable days, the children of Israel suffered under the threats of Goliath.
Speaker 1: Every day they woke up.
Speaker 1: Goliath is coming and says you guys, I'm going to kill you.
Speaker 1: Nothing is going to happen to you, I'm going to finish.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 1: Give me somebody I can fight with.
Speaker 1: The brothers of David.
Speaker 1: They were soldiers, they were mighty men, they were skilled kings.
Speaker 1: Saw could do nothing.
Speaker 1: Everything was done.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this God can change a season and one day, out of nowhere, david is sent to take food to his brothers.
Speaker 1: He was not being sent to go fight, he was just going to take food to the brothers.
Speaker 1: What they didn't know is that God was going to use a 17-year-old boy to shift the situation.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to some of the young people here that God is going to use you to shift the situation of this country of Kenya, and it can start today, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: If you can just catch the vision today, somebody better give God a big hand.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Maybe some of the challenges the government is going through, that solution is being held by a 17-year-old boy, a 17-year-old girl, is walking around with a solution not only for this nation, not only for this region, not only for this continent, but for the global scene.
Speaker 1: Somebody is walking with a solution that the world is looking for.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor I am that person In the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: So David is just walking.
Speaker 1: Then suddenly he sees his brothers, and the brothers start tongue-warring him.
Speaker 1: I mean, what is the word tongue-warring in English?
Speaker 1: They start saying, oh, but what have you come to do?
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this Some of you are carrying a vision and some people are going to stop you and say what are you thinking about?
Speaker 1: We've tried those things, we have been there, we have done this, we have done that.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this Some people will try to snuff out your vision.
Speaker 1: And they told him what are you coming to do?
Speaker 1: Go back to your few sheep, few sheep, few sheep.
Speaker 1: The boy would have run back, but the boy is sitting there saying what is happening.
Speaker 1: They say but can you see Goliath?
Speaker 1: At that moment Goliath shows up and Goliath is screaming, goliath is shouting, and then David looks at him and looks at the guy and says who is this guy who is defined the God of the armies of heaven, not who is defined David, not who is defined King Saul, who is defined the king that we saw.
Speaker 1: In other words, this guy was looking at Jesus Christ, the revealed one.
Speaker 1: You see the possibility of revelation.
Speaker 1: He knew who Jesus was when he was brought to King Saul.
Speaker 1: He told King Saul by the way, I can kill this guy.
Speaker 1: And King Saul says this man has been a warrior from his youth.
Speaker 1: You cannot handle him.
Speaker 1: And David says by the way, when I was taking care of the sheep, one of the lions came and I grabbed the lion, tore it apart.
Speaker 1: Another time a bear showed up.
Speaker 1: I tore it apart and then he said the God who helped me kill the lion, the God who helped me kill the bear, is the same God who is going to cause this giant to come down.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this I don't know what you fought last year, I don't know what grabbed you last year, but the God who was with you last year is the same God who was with you this year.
Speaker 1: And your goliath is coming down.
Speaker 1: I'm saying your goliath is coming down.
Speaker 1: Your goliath is coming down in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: And you know that same day, David said to goliath you come to me with spear and with sword, you come to me with javelin and spear, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Hosts.
Speaker 1: And today, let me give you the agenda I'm going to cut off your head.
Speaker 1: After I've cut off your head, I'm going to give your body to the kakas, to the vultures.
Speaker 1: Read his agenda finished what goliath was going to be before he went through one stone.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this, before you go too far into this month God will have sorted your goliath in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 1: Because you have seen God in a new way.
Speaker 1: This God that John the revelator saw is the same God who is present today in your life.
Speaker 1: Who is this Jesus?
Speaker 1: And Jesus is saying behold, forget the former things, do not dwell on the past.
Speaker 1: Behold, I am doing a new thing new season, new possibilities.
Speaker 1: See God from a different angle.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor, tell your neighbor.
Speaker 1: Look at God from a different angle.
Speaker 1: Tell them again Hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Mary and Martha are believed.
Speaker 1: Lazarus was a good friend of Jesus, but Jesus didn't come.
Speaker 1: Jesus never even sent a WhatsApp message, hello During Matanga.
Speaker 1: He didn't come During the funeral service, he didn't show up During the burial.
Speaker 1: He didn't come.
Speaker 1: He comes four days later when everybody has gone back to their places, mary and Martha sitting there wondering Jesus really let us down.
Speaker 1: But you see, jesus wanted Mary and Martha to see him in a new angle and that is why, when Jesus came, jesus said I am the resurrection and the life.
Speaker 1: He needed them to see that part of him, that he's not just a Joseph son, he's not just a carpenter, he's not just a miracle worker, he is the resurrection and the life.
Speaker 1: Then he told Mary and Martha where have you laid him?
Speaker 1: And they said come and see.
Speaker 1: Jesus comes to the tomb and he's told.
Speaker 1: Then he tells them remove the stone.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this the stone was not being removed so that Jesus could go in.
Speaker 1: The stone needed to be removed so that Lazarus could come out.
Speaker 1: Today I'm talking to you.
Speaker 1: I'm saying remove the stone of unbelief.
Speaker 1: Something amazing is about to come out of your life, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Something new is about to come out of your life.
Speaker 1: It's about to raise.
Speaker 1: Raise from the dead.
Speaker 1: And so Jesus, the Mary and Martha say oh, you cannot do that.
Speaker 1: The body's thinking.
Speaker 1: You see, their vision was it is over, it is over.
Speaker 1: Louede, louede.
Speaker 1: It is over.
Speaker 1: Louede, louede, louede.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you it is not over until God says it is over.
Speaker 1: Come on, somebody.
Speaker 1: It is not over until God says it is over.
Speaker 1: Come on, let's give God a big hand.
Speaker 1: Jesus' name, jesus' name.
Speaker 1: So Jesus, the stone is rolled and Jesus speaks and shouts in a very loud voice, says Lazarus, come forth.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad he said Lazarus, because if he had just said come forth, everybody in that graveyard Would have come out.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you this God has a specific, custom made solution just for you.
Speaker 1: He knows your name.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, god knows my name.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
Speaker 1: And he said Lazarus, come out.
Speaker 1: No matter where Lazarus was, whether he was in heaven, somewhere, he suddenly had a voice saying Lazarus, come forth.
Speaker 1: And that voice brought him back and he came to life.
Speaker 1: Now they knew that Jesus is not just a carpenter, he's the resurrection, he's the life.
Speaker 1: May that be your revelation today.
Speaker 1: May that be your revelation today, and no matter what you're going through right now some of us may be going through the valley of the shadow of death God is saying you shall fear no evil, for I am with you, thy road and thy staff.
Speaker 1: They comfort me.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, god is there.
Speaker 1: God will see you through.
Speaker 1: You're not just going into a valley, you're going through the valley, you're coming out on the other side.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Speaker 1: New season, new possibilities.
Speaker 1: But I want to say very quickly about opportunities.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor opportunities.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this the amazing opportunities coming your way.
Speaker 1: Let me read this verse Revelation 3, verse 7 to 8.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this very quickly Revelation 3, verse 7 to 8.
Speaker 1: This is the message to the church in Philadelphia, to the angel of the church in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Right, these are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David.
Speaker 1: What he opens, no one can shut.
Speaker 1: What he shuts, no one can open.
Speaker 1: Now listen to what he says in verse 8.
Speaker 1: I know your deeds, see, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.
Speaker 1: I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
Speaker 1: Let me say that verse 8 one more time, because new opportunities are coming your way.
Speaker 1: I'm saying new opportunities are coming my way.
Speaker 1: He says verse 8.
Speaker 1: Just go to verse 8.
Speaker 1: At the beginning, verse 8, verse 7, or pick it in from verse 7.
Speaker 1: Let me start with verse 7.
Speaker 1: To the angel of the church in Philadelphia, Right these words of him, who is holy, true, who holds the key of David what he opens, no one can shut.
Speaker 1: What he shuts, no one can open.
Speaker 1: Then he says I know your deeds.
Speaker 1: See, I have placed.
Speaker 1: I have placed.
Speaker 1: He has placed.
Speaker 1: You're not going to place.
Speaker 1: He has placed.
Speaker 1: He's giving you that opportunity.
Speaker 1: He has placed.
Speaker 1: He has placed an opportunity before you.
Speaker 1: Rebecca had wanted to be married for a long time but nobody came.
Speaker 1: How?
Speaker 1: The person Rebecca was supposed to get married to was not in her vicinity, was not in her locality.
Speaker 1: Hello, what she didn't know is that in her prayers, god located a man called Abraham and Abraham said to his servant, eliezer, go back to my people, get a wife for my son Isaac.
Speaker 1: That particular morning, when Rebecca woke up, she didn't know that God was going to place an opportunity in front of her.
Speaker 1: She came with a picture or whatever vessel she was carrying and she was walking.
Speaker 1: Normal duties, a normal day.
Speaker 1: Go to the river, get water, come back.
Speaker 1: She didn't know that Eliezer had made a prayer and Eliezer had prayed.
Speaker 1: Oh God, guide me when I reach this place.
Speaker 1: I don't know these women, I don't know which girl, but God, if there's a lady who will stop and ask me for a drink of water, that will be the lady you want for Isaac.
Speaker 1: Rebecca didn't know God was about to place an opportunity in front of her that she had never experienced.
Speaker 1: And so, on that particular day, eliezer is sitting there and she comes, just her normal duties.
Speaker 1: I want to talk to somebody in your normal duties, keep doing them.
Speaker 1: But God is about to place an opportunity in that situation, maybe in your law firm, maybe in your business, maybe in your teaching career.
Speaker 1: Just go along, do what you do, don't try to do things differently.
Speaker 1: But God is about to show up, he's about to put an opportunity in your hand that is going to take you to the next level.
Speaker 1: And so, when she bends, she says Rebecca stops.
Speaker 1: He says can I give you some water?
Speaker 1: The guy says yes, and he gives him some water.
Speaker 1: And then Eliezer said can you also water my camels?
Speaker 1: And you know, camels can drink.
Speaker 1: They have come from far.
Speaker 1: I believe Rebecca took nearly an hour watering those camels.
Speaker 1: What she didn't know, all these camels with what they were carrying, were about to become her possession.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what an opportunity.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you may wonder when will God show up?
Speaker 1: How will he show up?
Speaker 1: Leave that to God.
Speaker 1: The Bible says behold, I'm doing a new thing.
Speaker 1: Now it does what it springs up.
Speaker 1: Do you not perceive it?
Speaker 1: What God is asking for you is to do this Believe.
Speaker 1: Believe there is an open door, believe there is an open door.
Speaker 1: Believe there is an open door for you.
Speaker 1: Believe it, and that door is uplifted.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, now, that word uplifted.
Speaker 1: If you remove the word up and the other word add, what do you are left the word lift.
Speaker 1: What God is telling you is this enter this lift.
Speaker 1: It's about to take you up.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to somebody Enter the lift, it's about to take you up, and the lift does not decide where you're going to stop.
Speaker 1: Who decides?
Speaker 1: Not God.
Speaker 1: God does not decide where you're going to stop.
Speaker 1: When you enter lift, when you usually enter the lift, do you enter the lift and you say God is up to you, it's up to you.
Speaker 1: You go up.
Speaker 1: You come down, go, say God Maze, when you, what are you thinking?
Speaker 1: If you are in the lift and you press 12, where will the door open for you At 12.
Speaker 1: ?
Speaker 1: You decide.
Speaker 1: You decide where you want the lift to stop.
Speaker 1: God's part is to take you up, god's part is open that door for you, but where do you want it to stop For Rebecca?
Speaker 1: It stopped at this person.
Speaker 1: She knew it.
Speaker 1: This person said who are your parents?
Speaker 1: Said these are my parents.
Speaker 1: My brother is Laban.
Speaker 1: They went to that place and before that day was over, rebecca was being taken to Isaac's place On camels that she watered.
Speaker 1: She became rich, she became the owner of those camels.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this In this month of January, you are about to become the owner of God's amazing blessings.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ, son of the Living God.
Speaker 1: Opportunities are coming your way.
Speaker 1: I'm saying opportunities are coming your way.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to somebody.
Speaker 1: I'm saying opportunities to start afresh are coming your way.
Speaker 1: Opportunities to grow and expand are coming your way.
Speaker 1: Pastor Simon, you remember Jabez, and Jabez is the one who decided one day.
Speaker 1: He just decided.
Speaker 1: I'm going to press the button that says God bless me.
Speaker 1: He's the one who decided that.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this None of you is under a curse.
Speaker 1: The devil has lied to you.
Speaker 1: None of you is under a curse.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor you don't look cursed.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, amen.
Speaker 1: You are under the cover of God's blessing.
Speaker 1: But you have to decide.
Speaker 1: Jabez said God that you may bless me.
Speaker 1: He pressed the button and he kept going Enlarge my territory.
Speaker 1: Pain, may your hand be upon me.
Speaker 1: Pain, and may you deliver me from pain.
Speaker 1: Pain.
Speaker 1: Just tell your neighbor Pain, pain.
Speaker 1: And the Bible says and God granted his request.
Speaker 1: His door was opened when he wanted it to open Hallelujah, you are going to grow, you are going to be enlarged, you are going to arise and you are going to shine.
Speaker 1: I am saying you are going to arise and you are going to shine.
Speaker 1: You are going to be provided for and you are going to bless others.
Speaker 1: Without provision, the opportunities are amazing.
Speaker 1: So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor.
Speaker 1: If you don't engage your opportunities, tell them.
Speaker 1: If you don't engage your opportunities, in the name of Jesus, I am engaging mine and I am telling you Tomorrow you may not recognize me, I will be uplifted.
Speaker 1: I will be the head.
Speaker 1: If you want to be the tail, it is okay, but I am going to the top.
Speaker 1: I am going to the top In the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Come on, somebody better give a big hand.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Yes, I am speaking to you guys at East Gate and North Gate.

Speaker 1: Pastor Oshira, you are going to the top.
Speaker 1: Believe that A new season has come With new possibilities.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
Speaker 1: And it is not because you are so.
Speaker 1: You are a genius, you are a God, because Jesus has stepped into your space.
Speaker 1: Jesus has stepped into your space.
Speaker 1: But I want to finish and I want to close this message Not really close it, because it shall be continued Next week, but I want to say this because this is my third point Tell your neighbor the possibility Of new favor One more time.
Speaker 1: Tell them the possibility of new favor.
Speaker 1: Let me read you an interesting verse.
Speaker 1: You see, god wants to do new things.
Speaker 1: Let me read Revelation, chapter 21, verse 5, because God loves to do things, new things.
Speaker 1: God is not trying to make old things new.
Speaker 1: Hello, this is not the year he's trying to make old things new.
Speaker 1: He's making them new.
Speaker 1: They have not existed before.
Speaker 1: I'm saying they have not existed before.
Speaker 1: Look at this verse.
Speaker 1: It says this he who was seated on the throne said I am making everything new.
Speaker 1: Then he said write these things down.
Speaker 1: God is making.
Speaker 1: Let me read you the other one, isaiah 48, verse 6 and 7.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this Again God is speaking and God is saying these things to us.
Speaker 1: He says you have heard these things.
Speaker 1: Look at them all.
Speaker 1: Will you not admit them?
Speaker 1: Then he says from now on, I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you.
Speaker 1: Now look at verse 7.
Speaker 1: They are created when Now and not long ago.
Speaker 1: You have not heard of them before today, so you cannot say yes, I knew of them.
Speaker 1: Some of you are about to be shocked.
Speaker 1: Some of you are about to be surprised.
Speaker 1: God is about to do a new thing, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: Some of you may be walking around with one kidney.
Speaker 1: God can suddenly give you another one, new from the storehouse of heaven.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, God is about to do a new thing.
Speaker 1: A new thing.
Speaker 1: A new thing For you, parents who are looking for schools for your children to go to Fomwan.
Speaker 1: Some of you sometimes knock at the wrong door and some of the doors you knock is the door of the pastambarus.
Speaker 1: He says pastambarus, you know I need you to get me a position at Kenya High.
Speaker 1: We know that your daughter went to Kenya High.
Speaker 1: You know, we know that you have influence.
Speaker 1: By the way, I have a lot of influence, a lot of influence, thank you, jesus.
Speaker 1: I tell you, neighbor, pastambarus is powerful.
Speaker 1: Yes, I am.
Speaker 1: I'm a child of the king and so are you Also.
Speaker 1: You know you can do this.
Speaker 1: You know my daughter doesn't want to go to another school, no other school.
Speaker 1: She doesn't want to go to another school Kenya High, not just Kenya High, that Kenya High.
Speaker 1: Then I asked them, what did your daughter get?
Speaker 1: 250.
Speaker 1: I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that one requires God, not pastor.
Speaker 1: But who knows God can shift a situation.
Speaker 1: What I'm trying to tell you this which door are you knocking?
Speaker 1: There are some things I can do, but there are some things God is planning to do that only he can do.
Speaker 1: Give him a chance.
Speaker 1: I'm saying give him a chance.
Speaker 1: New favor is coming your way.
Speaker 1: God wants to favor you.
Speaker 1: You look so favorable.
Speaker 1: Just look at your neighbor.
Speaker 1: Until your neighbor.
Speaker 1: I look favorable, hallelujah, amen, and I'm praying that those new things will come and I'm saying if they don't exist, god can cause them to exist today.
Speaker 1: Today, that's the kind of God we serve.
Speaker 1: He's the God who makes all things new.
Speaker 1: May God shift you.
Speaker 1: The other day, as we were crossing the year and things like that, we sent the children to their auntie.
Speaker 1: So we had no children in the house, they see, for we have the three cousins, some of our nephews, small, small kids.
Speaker 1: Our house help has two children.
Speaker 1: They all stay with us.
Speaker 1: We have about six children in the house who make noise for us.
Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus.
Speaker 1: They also act as our remote control so that if we need anything, say we go get this, go get, choose things like that.
Speaker 1: So this particular day they were sent and we were the only ones alone Me, meena, martha.
Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus.
Speaker 1: Then Martha tells me but I am not cooking today, so I say so what do you want us to do?
Speaker 1: She says let's go eat out.
Speaker 1: I say where do you want us to go eat?
Speaker 1: Let's go eat.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Java.
Speaker 1: I said which Java?
Speaker 1: She said we need to go to a Java where you are not known Because every time we go to this place I am known.
Speaker 1: Every time we go to this place some try to figure out which Java.
Speaker 1: So there's a Java on Waikiki way.
Speaker 1: There's a Java in Westlands Java.
Speaker 1: We look for this Java.
Speaker 1: Then we went and found a Java where I was not known.
Speaker 1: So we drive in, the security guy does not know me.
Speaker 1: We go in, the attendant does not know me.
Speaker 1: I checked around the people who are in the vicinity do not know me.
Speaker 1: The only person who knew me was Martha.
Speaker 1: So we had a good time.
Speaker 1: We ordered you wanted to tell you what we ordered Pork chops, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: So we are ordering.
Speaker 1: It came, we started eating and we are just.
Speaker 1: God is fulfilling Martha's prayer.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows us.
Speaker 1: So as we were finishing, I told Martha to bring the bill and the machine because I don't have cash.
Speaker 1: I can use the card.
Speaker 1: So while she was coming, I went to the washroom.
Speaker 1: When I was coming from the washroom I sat down and the lady who had already come pulled out my card.
Speaker 1: The moment I pulled it out, put it on the table.
Speaker 1: A couple stepped in and said you are not paying that bill.
Speaker 1: I looked up.
Speaker 1: This gentleman says by the way.
Speaker 1: Parson brothers, you prayed for me one time in Paki and God has really changed my things.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that God has changed my things?
Speaker 1: You know I said this is my wife.
Speaker 1: She used to come to Parkland Baptist Church when she was a baby.
Speaker 1: She was a child and she really appreciates you and please give us the honor of paying your bill.
Speaker 1: Now, if I had this Christian humility, I said no, you can just pay.
Speaker 1: I put the card back into my pocket.
Speaker 1: Favour had come.
Speaker 1: May favour come your way.
Speaker 1: I'm saying may favour come your way.
Speaker 1: May favour locate you in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Come on, somebody.
Speaker 1: Better give God a big hand.
Speaker 1: Yes, lord, and I appreciate that couple.
Speaker 1: We left.
Speaker 1: We didn't wait to find out if they paid.
Speaker 1: We left for them to enjoy that blessing In a place where I was not known.
Speaker 1: Favour located me In a place where you are not known.
Speaker 1: May God's favour locate you.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, and I'm praying.
Speaker 1: God helped me to do that to somebody.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, I also do that to somebody.
Speaker 1: May I surprise them.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, and people have surprised me and Pastor Simon.
Speaker 1: By the way, as I conclude, we here in Parklands are very blessed.
Speaker 1: We pastors are our blessed people.
Speaker 1: You people spoil us a lot.
Speaker 1: You do us good and so we want to salute you in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: We want to say thank you for blessing us in Jesus' name, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you this Favour was with Joseph in the pit.
Speaker 1: Favour was with Joseph in Potiphar's house.
Speaker 1: Favour was with Joseph in the dungeon.
Speaker 1: Favour took him to the palace Right now.
Speaker 1: Things may not be working, but you're carrying favour.
Speaker 1: Things may go rumber, but you're having favour.
Speaker 1: You may even have your in debt right now, but you're favoured.
Speaker 1: Shylocks are on your neck, but you're favoured.
Speaker 1: Your bank account is in red, but you're favoured Because something is about to happen in this month of January.
Speaker 1: Things are about to shift.
Speaker 1: I'm saying things are about to shift for you.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: May God step into your space.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, this is the year of the Lord's uplifted open door.
Speaker 1: We drove out of that java and Martha said you know, I will not ask you again.
Speaker 1: This is that year.
Speaker 1: Your bills will be paid.
Speaker 1: Somebody missed that.
Speaker 1: I'm saying your bills will be paid.
Speaker 1: How God will do it?
Speaker 1: He knows, because you have a Father.
Speaker 1: He knows your name.
Speaker 1: He'll never leave you, he'll never forsake you.
Speaker 1: I'm saying this.
Speaker 1: It is this God in 2024.
Speaker 1: It is this, 2024, pastor Simon, that the Bible says in Psalms 24, lift up ye gates, ye ancient doors, but the King of glory may come in.
Speaker 1: Who is this King of glory?
Speaker 1: The Lord, god Almighty, lift those, be opened in 2024.
Speaker 1: Amen, amen, stand on your feet.
Speaker 1: While you're standing on your feet, just stretch, stretch, stretch.
Speaker 1: Then give your neighbor high five and tell them it is my year in Jesus' name, and tell them, if you don't believe me, I don't care, it is my season with new possibilities.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: You believe that?
Speaker 1: I believe that Now give God another big hand, appreciate Him, jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: Jesus, I pray for us.
Speaker 1: If what you're looking for does not exist, may God create it today.
Speaker 1: May God create it today.
Speaker 1: God is not taking all the things to make them new.
Speaker 1: No, he can make a new thing that does not exist today, and he can send it not just to you, but through you.
Speaker 1: Do you know that God can use you to innovate something that the world is needing, and he doesn't have to use people with a very high IQ.
Speaker 1: He can use you.
Speaker 1: He takes things that are not noble to outshine the things that are noble.
Speaker 1: He is the door.
Speaker 1: Let me read this verse and then I'll pray.
Speaker 1: The Bible says in John, chapter 10.
Speaker 1: John, chapter 10,.
Speaker 1: Let me read verse 7.
Speaker 1: In verse 7 it says this John's 10, 7.
Speaker 1: Therefore, jesus said again very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the ship.
Speaker 1: Let me read that in the New King James version, new King James says the same verse.
Speaker 1: Then Jesus said to them again, most assuredly I say to you, I am what I am the door.
Speaker 1: Verse 14 of that chapter, if you just go to verse 14, it says this John 10, 14.
Speaker 1: I am the good shepherd and I know my ship and I am known by my own.
Speaker 1: May you know this door, may you know this gate where a ship come in and go out.
Speaker 1: Verse 9, same chapter.
Speaker 1: By the way, our theme passage is from the book of John, john, chapter 1 to verse 24.
Speaker 1: Verse 9 of John says I am, I am the door.
Speaker 1: If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.
Speaker 1: I am the door, I am your access, I am the key to your miracle.
Speaker 1: Jesus is saying by me you can come in and go out and find pasture.
Speaker 1: May that be your position, may that be your belief.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, let me tell you this don't struggle with the door.
Speaker 1: It is open.
Speaker 1: I am saying don't struggle with the door, it is open and, as we cast the vision, read it so that you can catch it.
Speaker 1: Write it down so that God can unveil to you great and mighty things that you do not know.
Speaker 1: Burn us, if you will.
Speaker 1: Jesus, I am really excited in 2024.
Speaker 1: I have forgotten the former things.
Speaker 1: You see, forget also your successes, because some of us are stuck in our successes.
Speaker 1: Forget them.
Speaker 1: There are new successes coming in 2024.
Speaker 1: Come on, there are new successes coming in 2024.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is easy to forget your failures, but, yes, forget them.
Speaker 1: Do not dwell there.
Speaker 1: God wants to do something fresh for you in 2024.
Speaker 1: Two plus zero plus two plus four is what?
Speaker 1: 2024.
Speaker 1: Two plus zero plus two plus four is eight, because eight is the new beginning.
Speaker 1: This is your new season.
Speaker 1: Take it in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: May God do something new for even this country.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you can give up on a country and say, ah, e country, malimefika Naizitaxes to Malaysia.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this Ha to the Asia.
Speaker 1: The Bible says ask me for the nations and I'll give them to you as an inheritance.
Speaker 1: We are not done.
Speaker 1: Kenya's failures yesterday will not define its tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Jesus will define our tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor we are going higher To the top.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: God is not depending on leaders to turn things around.
Speaker 1: He's depending on himself.
Speaker 1: He's depending on himself, so let him use you.
Speaker 1: A new day has come, a new season has come, and I'm part of it, and so are you.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, come on, give yourself a big hand.

Speaker 1: Amen, thank you for coming.
Speaker 1: Let me say this if you don't come any other Sunday, it is okay, but because you came today, your year will not be the same, in Jesus' name, amen.
Speaker 1: So thank you for coming.
Speaker 1: Let us pray.
Speaker 1: Lift up your hands as I bless us.
Speaker 1: Oh God, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: There is no God like our God.
Speaker 1: When John the Revelator saw Jesus in a new light, it changed his perspective.
Speaker 1: The island was no longer an issue.
Speaker 1: Jerusalem being broken down was not an issue, because he saw a new Jerusalem and he knew, no matter what happens on the ground, where God is concerned, it shall be well that he is the Alpha and the Omega.
Speaker 1: He begins, he finishes, and John lived the rest of his life in total assurance that, in God's hands, it was well.
Speaker 1: And for that today I want to say, even as I command a blessing, that, as we see you afresh in 2024, may we know that, whatever happens on the ground, you have already seen the end from the beginning and you have already said, I know the plans I have for you, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the new season, thank you for the new possibilities.
Speaker 1: And so, in the name that is above every name, I decree and declare to each one of us, wherever you are, may the Lord bless you.
Speaker 1: May the Lord make his face to shine upon you.
Speaker 1: May the Lord be gracious to you.
Speaker 1: May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you.
Speaker 1: May the Lord give you peace.
Speaker 1: I decree and declare that your Monday is blessed, your Tuesday is blessed, your Wednesday is blessed, your Thursday is blessed, your Friday is blessed, your Saturday is blessed.
Speaker 1: Sunday, you're coming back with a testimony in the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ, new favor is coming your way, new blessings are coming your way.
Speaker 1: My God is creating anew that which is specially custom made, just excuse me, just for you.
Speaker 1: So receive this blessing in the name of the Father and in the name of the Son and in the name of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: And God's people say Amen, amen, amen, amen.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, surely goodness and mercy shall follow you.
Speaker 1: Yanny, you I'm talking to you all the days of your life and you Yanny you this year.
Speaker 1: You shall dwell in God's house, in God's favor, in God's goodness, in God's blessing, forever, and there's nothing the devil can do about it.
Speaker 1: You are blessed to be a blessing, your favorite to be favorable.
Speaker 1: You're lifted to lift others.
Speaker 1: This is your blessing.
Speaker 1: Take it in Jesus name Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, shalom, amen, amen.
