Speaker 1: We want to read our scripture, and then I'll tell you the scriptures for the year, but I want us to read this particular one Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1 to 6.
Speaker 1: Revelation, chapter 4, verse 1 to 6.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this After these things, I looked, I looked, I looked.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor you'll be looking this year, amen.
Speaker 1: After these things, I looked and behold a door standing open in heaven.
Speaker 1: The first voice which I heard was like a trumpet, speaking with me, saying Come up here and I will show you things which must take place after this Immediately.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor immediately.
Speaker 1: I was in the spirit and behold a throne set in heaven and one sat on the throne and he who sat there was like a jasper and a saddier stone in appearance and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.
Speaker 1: Around the throne were 24 thrones and on the thrones I saw 24 elders sitting clothed in white robes and they had crowns of gold on their heads, and from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings and voices.
Speaker 1: Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.
Speaker 1: Before the throne there was a sea of glass like crystal, and in the midst of the throne and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes, in front and in back.
Speaker 1: This is God's word, and God's people say amen.
Speaker 1: As we introduce this theme, we have already declared that this is the year of the lords uplifted open door.
Speaker 1: Now for clarity, it is not the uplifted open doors, it is not in plural, it is in what Singular.
Speaker 1: So don't keep saying doors, thank you Jesus, because it is a door, and that is important because sometimes we decide in our heads what to say.
Speaker 1: So it is not doors, it is door, it's an open door.
Speaker 1: That door is very key.
Speaker 1: The scriptures that we read are from the book of Revelation, and you will find the book of Revelation is very interesting because it's a book that assures us that, no matter what you're going through, god has your back.
Speaker 1: Let me say that again.
Speaker 1: This book of Revelation is simply to tell you that, no matter what you're facing, no matter how dark it is, no matter how difficult it is, god has your back.
Speaker 1: The reason I'm saying this is because God had to reveal himself to John Even though John was in an island called Patmos and the Christian church was facing serious persecution.
Speaker 1: That particular time, many of the apostles had already been killed.
Speaker 1: The apostle Paul had been killed, apostle Peter had been killed.
Speaker 1: It was a difficult time.
Speaker 1: The only apostle who was still remaining standing was John, the apostle that Jesus loved.
Speaker 1: John may have felt alone and felt like maybe this is not going to work.
Speaker 1: It reminded John of John the Baptist who, even though Jesus had come, he found himself in prison, about to get his head cut off.
Speaker 1: He had to send some of his disciples and say go talk to Jesus and find out if he's the Messiah we are waiting for.
Speaker 1: Then Jesus sent word and said tell John the Baptist the blind are seeing, the deaf are hearing, the dumb are speaking, the crippled are walking.
Speaker 1: Just go tell him that it was to help John the Baptist, who was just about to experience his head being cut off, that indeed, his cousin, jesus, was the Messiah.
Speaker 1: In other words, he was telling John the Baptist I have your back, Hallelujah, I have your back, not only you as a person, but you as a family.
Speaker 1: God has your back.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah For us, even as a nation.
Speaker 1: God has our back For you in business.
Speaker 1: God has your back.
Speaker 1: Somebody better receive that.
Speaker 1: Yes, parents, god has your back, even though your child passed so seriously with 400 plus.
Speaker 1: But they were called to a school you have never had before.
Speaker 1: Hello, and you're wondering how you're going to go there during open days.
Speaker 1: Thank you, jesus.
Speaker 1: And you want a school right here in this city?
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this God has your back, he knows what to do when you don't know what to do.
Speaker 1: The book of Revelation is not a book of dragons and serpents, you know.
Speaker 1: That's why you get scared to read this book.
Speaker 1: It's a book when, if I open it, I won't sleep.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this it's a good book.
Speaker 1: Let me show you why it is a good book.
Speaker 1: Revelation, chapter one.
Speaker 1: Let me read it, verse one and two and three, just so that you know it's a good book, so that you can read it.
Speaker 1: It's a very nice book, but it's a book of pictures and figures and scales and revelations.
Speaker 1: But it says this in Revelation, chapter one, verse one the revelation of Now.
Speaker 1: It's not about revelations, it's about revelation.
Speaker 1: It's not about those, it's about a door, the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants things which must shortly take place.
Speaker 1: And he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant, john, who bore witness to the Word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw.
Speaker 1: Then verse 3 says this blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written in it.
Speaker 1: For the time is near and God unveils to John in Patmos a revelation of Jesus that blew his mind.
Speaker 1: It was even bigger than the revelation he saw on the mountain when Jesus took Peter, james and John to the mountain and he was transfigured.
Speaker 1: This one was just beyond imagination.
Speaker 1: And after John had seen the revelation from beginning to end, and then he saw how the world will end, and so the new Jerusalem, even though the current Jerusalem had been raised by the Romans to the ground.
Speaker 1: When God showed him how the game ended thank you Jesus he knew he could face anything, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor Jesus is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, and for anything, whether it is a horror movie or whatever adventure, you can only enjoy it if you watch the end first.
Speaker 1: Hello, even a game when Arsenal is playing Liverpool.
Speaker 1: Thank you, jesus.
Speaker 1: Now Manchester United is playing Chelsea.
Speaker 1: If you didn't watch that game and you want to watch it and somebody gives it to you, first, forward it to the end and then start watching it.
Speaker 1: That way, no pressure, you know how the game ended.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this Whatever the devil is doing on this planet, whatever wars and rumors of war are happening, we know how it ends, hello, and it ends with Jesus.
Speaker 1: It started with Jesus in Genesis.
Speaker 1: In the beginning, god created the heavens and the earth.
Speaker 1: The apocaticati of the Bible, john says, in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God.
Speaker 1: And then who?
Speaker 1: Come?
Speaker 1: We show?
Speaker 1: It says the spirit, and the bride say come to the wedding feast of Jesus.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, the ending is good.
Speaker 1: So let me tell you this In 2024, god is saying the ending is good, come on somebody.
Speaker 1: The ending is good, and the ending is a person.
Speaker 1: His name is Jesus Christ, son of the living God.
Speaker 1: And so, as we introduce this subject and you know, I have so many things in my spirit that I want to release to you and every time I say, I ask myself should I tell them this today or should I wait tomorrow?
Speaker 1: You know the rapture is going to happen in 2024.
Speaker 1: I said why are you asking?
Speaker 1: I'm asking so that we can plan.
Speaker 1: We have been planning the year, so we just needed to plan and see in terms of business, should we be released, all our resources or should we plan again, as if Jesus is coming after 1000 years?
Speaker 1: So, whichever way you are set, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: So don't drop things and go into the caves and say Jesus is coming, so to in the name of Jesus comes.
Speaker 1: That is not the right thing.
Speaker 1: The Bible says occupy until I come.
Speaker 1: This month or this year 2024, by the way, even as we talk about the door in the Hebrew alphabet because I'm trying to release something and then I'll give you my message today, and I really pray that you're going to be able to, because I've really written quite a bit of the issue of the door and the revelation for this year in this book.
Speaker 1: Then in the planner, I have given verses for every day, 365 verses, which I would like you to read every week.
Speaker 1: They have there are seven verses, so that you read, tick you have read, write something in your notebook about what you have read.
Speaker 1: In other words, write, read and run with a vision.
Speaker 1: I'm saying write, read and run with the vision.
Speaker 1: This one, the vision is written, this one, you now write yours and read it and run with it in Jesus name.
Speaker 1: So at the end of the year you'll have a whole book that you authored.
Speaker 1: So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor I am an upcoming author.
Speaker 1: So start practicing it.
Speaker 1: We use this book and start practicing, but in the Hebrew alphabet.
Speaker 1: For some of you who want to understand, why are we talking about open door?
Speaker 1: Why are we not talking about, you know, many churches of different visions.
Speaker 1: If you go to sitam, it has this vision.
Speaker 1: If you go to deliverance church, they have this vision and it is okay.
Speaker 1: Parke has this vision because the person, the visions, may be different, but the person giving the vision is the same, the Lord Jesus Christ, and for particular congregations and churches.
Speaker 1: If you read Revelation 2 and 3, it says write this to the church in Ephesus, to the church in Smyrna, to the church in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: So there's visions for these churches.
Speaker 1: That's why each one of us is special to God.
Speaker 1: He gives you what is custom made for you, hello.
Speaker 1: So God may emphasize something for me that he doesn't emphasize for you, and God may highlight something for me which you will not highlight for you.
Speaker 1: God will highlight something for you that he may not highlight for me, because he knows at a particular time you need this kind of revelation, you need this because of what you're going through, you need this thing, you need that thing, and that is why Jesus is seen in different ways, even as John himself wrote in the Gospel, he kept writing and saying.
Speaker 1: One time Jesus said I am the bread of life, because at that time guys were hungry and they were fed with bread.
Speaker 1: To the woman who came at the well and needed water, jesus says I am the living water.
Speaker 1: Hello.
Speaker 1: To Mary and Martha, who had lost us and were wondering what to do, jesus revealed himself to her saying I am the resurrection and the life.
Speaker 1: He could not have told Mary and Martha I am the bread of life Because she did not need bread.
Speaker 1: She needed to understand about the resurrection.
Speaker 1: So Jesus knows your every need.
Speaker 1: So he will reveal himself in particular ways.
Speaker 1: When Abraham was about to kill Isaac, you know, and God stopped him.
Speaker 1: And then God says hey, don't do that.
Speaker 1: I have provided a lamb.
Speaker 1: And for Abraham, that day, god revealed himself as Jehovah Jairah, the Lord who provides.
Speaker 1: So in this season, god is saying I am the door because God knows many of you are about to enter into a new season.
Speaker 1: Hello, you're about to enter new season with new possibilities.
Speaker 1: So look at your neighbor, tell your neighbor new season, new possibilities.
Speaker 1: So he's the door.
Speaker 1: Now, in the alphabet, the alphabet of the Hebrew language, we have A, b, c, d and I've told you this before.
Speaker 1: So we used to be told in Nazarese school A for what?
Speaker 1: For apple, B for boy, d for now.
Speaker 1: In Hebrew it's the same thing.
Speaker 1: But they don't say A, b, c, d, they say Aleph, beth, gimel, delet, and keep going Same thing A, b, c, d, aleph for ox.
Speaker 1: That is in Hebrew strength.
Speaker 1: In other words, god is saying I am the alpha, I am your strength.
Speaker 1: Thank you, jesus.
Speaker 1: When he begins, he does not begin weekly, he begins with strength.
Speaker 1: That is why in this month of January we are starting with strength, that God is your strength, he's your alpha.
Speaker 1: Then Beth, which is B, beth stands for house, that's why we get the word like Bethel, the house of God.
Speaker 1: Then we have Gimel.
Speaker 1: They don't say it C, but they said Gimel, which stands for camel.
Speaker 1: In other words, transport and journeys.
Speaker 1: And that's what we did last year.
Speaker 1: World changes going places in Jesus name.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor you're still a world changer.
Speaker 1: But so you have these world changes who started in God's strength?
Speaker 1: They were covered in God's house, they were given the strength of a camel to go places.
Speaker 1: But now he says the let means door, the let means door.
Speaker 1: And so God is saying I have brought you this far because I'm not just taking you through another door, I'm taking you through an uplifted door, a door on another level.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor you're being upgraded in Jesus name.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor one more time and tell them you look like you need an upgrade.
Speaker 1: Hello, you know, it's like being upgraded from Amulika Muizi.
Speaker 1: Hello To a what?
Speaker 1: To a smartphone.
Speaker 1: You have upgraded and you have to learn new things.
Speaker 1: You cannot deal with a smartphone with a mindset of Amulika Muizi.
Speaker 1: In fact, there was a funny incident this afternoon this lady who wanted to show me a message in her Amulika Muizi so I'm trying to read it.
Speaker 1: And then I started scrolling on the Amulika Muizi Kumbay.
Speaker 1: When I was pressing those buttons it was going to now other messages.
Speaker 1: She says I'm Bruce Banner, you're forgotten to use Amulika Muizi.
Speaker 1: I said completely, because my mind is, has not been there for a long time.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor one more time.
Speaker 1: Tell them you need an upgrade in Jesus name.
Speaker 1: And so let me tell you, this year you will not think like yesterday.
Speaker 1: The Bible says forget the former things, do not dwell on the past.
Speaker 1: I am doing a new thing.
Speaker 1: Don't pray the same kind of prayers you prayed yesterday.
Speaker 1: Don't pray those small to limited prayers.
Speaker 1: God has opened a door before you that no man can shut.
Speaker 1: God is not asking you to open it, he has opened it.
Speaker 1: God is asking you to go through it in Jesus name.
Speaker 1: That is why he is saying in Revelation come up here, come up, come up.
Speaker 1: And so you need to look up.
Speaker 1: Stop looking at your feet, look up.
Speaker 1: Something special is about to happen.
Speaker 1: So the let means do.
Speaker 1: It's uplifted, it's above.
Speaker 1: Let me show you this verse which happened to Abraham.
Speaker 1: Abraham was going through a very difficult time with his nephew, lot, and they came to a place where they could not just agree about something.
Speaker 1: So they decided to each one go his own way.
Speaker 1: And he said to Lot you choose the best place you can see and go.
Speaker 1: And Lot chose a place and he went and he thought it was the best place.
Speaker 1: Now listen to this story after what happened.
Speaker 1: Genesis 13, verse 14.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this Tell your neighbor.
Speaker 1: Ambrose is still introducing the subject, so this is what he is saying.
Speaker 1: And the Lord said to Abraham after Lot had separated from him.
Speaker 1: And what did he say?
Speaker 1: Lift up your eyes when should you lift them Now?
Speaker 1: And look from the place where you are, northward, southward, eastward and westward.
Speaker 1: And then he said verse 15.
Speaker 1: For all the land which you see, I give to you and your descendants forever.
Speaker 1: And then he says and I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth, so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered.
Speaker 1: Next verse Arise.
Speaker 1: Stop sitting down, arise, walk in the land through its length, its width, for I give it to you.
Speaker 1: God has given you this year.
Speaker 1: I'm saying God has given you this year.
Speaker 1: Next verse the Bible says this Then Abraham did what Abraham did, what he did, what he moved.
Speaker 1: Come up here.
Speaker 1: He moved.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor it's time to move.
Speaker 1: You know there is an advert.
Speaker 1: Kitambo, that used to say utahama lini.
Speaker 1: You remember that they were trying to advertise when are you going to hama?
Speaker 1: And I want to tell you this it's not a matter of when are you going to hama.
Speaker 1: God has already hamishad you.
Speaker 1: He has said come up here.
Speaker 1: Amen, yes, I'm giving, I'm prophesying to you.
Speaker 1: You may not realize it.
Speaker 1: God has hamishad you.
Speaker 1: You are not where you were last year.
Speaker 1: I'm saying in the spirit you're not there anymore.
Speaker 1: God has moved you.
Speaker 1: This particular time.
Speaker 1: Abraham moved himself, but in our season and time, god is moving us.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you are not hearing this.
Speaker 1: I hope you are catching this, and that is why I have titled the message today A vision of divine invitation.
Speaker 1: A vision of divine invitation, a vision of divine invitation.
Speaker 1: And I want to say three things about that invitation.
Speaker 1: Number one, it's an open door vision.
Speaker 1: Number two, it is an uplifted vision.
Speaker 1: And number three, it is an accelerated vision.
Speaker 1: Number one, it is an open door vision.
Speaker 1: Number two, it is an uplifted vision.
Speaker 1: And number three, it is an an accelerated vision.
Speaker 1: Why am I saying this?
Speaker 1: Let me start with an open door vision.
Speaker 1: I've already spoken a little bit about that open door and the door is a passer, so let me read John now.
Speaker 1: John is the passage we are going to use through the year John, chapter one.
Speaker 1: John chapter 10, verse one to 24.
Speaker 1: So the passage for the year is John, chapter 10, verse one to 24.
Speaker 1: If you can remember that, because this is the year 24.
Speaker 1: So John, chapter one, verse one to 24.
Speaker 1: In that book the Bible says this let's go to John very quickly and then I'll come to the open door.
Speaker 1: John says this Jesus is speaking.
Speaker 1: And it is John, chapter 10, around verse seven.
Speaker 1: Let me read verse seven, john 10.7.
Speaker 1: Jesus said Then, jesus said to them again, most assuredly I say to you, I am what, I'm the door of the ship.
Speaker 1: Now let's pick it up, go back so that you understand why he said that.
Speaker 1: Let's start at least with verse one to just help one or two of us.
Speaker 1: The Bible says most assuredly I say to you, he who does not enter the ship, fold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Speaker 1: But he who enters by the door is the ship, is the shepherd of the ship.
Speaker 1: To him the door keeper opens and the ship hear his voice and he calls his own ship by name and leads them out.
Speaker 1: And when he brings out his own ship, he goes before them and the ship follow him, for they know his voice.
Speaker 1: Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.
Speaker 1: Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which spoke to them.
Speaker 1: Then Jesus said to them again, most assuredly I say to you, I am the door of the ship.
Speaker 1: All who ever came before me are thieves and robbers.
Speaker 1: But the ship did not hear them.
Speaker 1: And then he repeats I am the door.
Speaker 1: Now you need to understand.
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you're reading the Bible, it's not just English that you're reading.
Speaker 1: That statement I am is a very loaded statement.
Speaker 1: So every time Jesus said I am, it went back to Exodus, when Moses asked God, whom, shall I say, sent me?
Speaker 1: And God said I am, who I am has sent you.
Speaker 1: So Jesus was not just finishing an English statement and saying I am the door.
Speaker 1: He said I am the door is the most high God.
Speaker 1: And I want you to know if God is the most high God, where would he rather you be most high?
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor I'm going places.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor where my father is, I'm going there.
Speaker 1: So if God is the most high, where is your position, up high?
Speaker 1: That's why God is saying come up here, where the D is, thank you, jesus, come up here.
Speaker 1: Come up here.
Speaker 1: And Jesus is saying I am that door.
Speaker 1: No wonder, in John 14, verse 6, jesus said I am the way and the truth and the life.
Speaker 1: No man comes to the Father but by me.
Speaker 1: By saying that door, jesus was simply saying this I am your access, I am your access.
Speaker 1: And I want to say to JJ this is not just any access, it is uninterrupted access.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor.
Speaker 1: Until your neighbor, it is uninterrupted.
Speaker 1: Do you know some places you can go?
Speaker 1: On that particular day they did not stop you at the gate, you just went, hello.
Speaker 1: And then another day you go, they tell you Bannaibu, give us your ID.
Speaker 1: They say where are you going?
Speaker 1: You have an invitation, and so your invitation, that access becomes interrupted.
Speaker 1: But when Jesus is the door, when he is your open door, when he is your uplifted open door, access is uninterrupted.
Speaker 1: You can come to God anytime, anywhere, when you need him.
Speaker 1: You will be there.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor If you want to stay at the gate, me.
Speaker 1: I am going through, hallelujah, I am going through in Jesus name, uninterrupted.
Speaker 1: There is a very interesting statement that Jesus said and I want to read it, because sometimes I read that statement and sometimes it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: But let me read it for you.
Speaker 1: John, chapter 3, verse 12 and 13.
Speaker 1: Jesus was talking to Nicodemus.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor Nicodemus, these days we don't just call him Nicodemus, we call him Nico.
Speaker 1: Okay, we can call him Nick, but he was a Pharisee and he was really finding it very hard to understand what Jesus was saying.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you this the reason why Nicodemus was really having it rough, he was trying to understand Jesus from this level Instead of from that level.
Speaker 1: So when Jesus said you must be born again, he said do I have to go back into my mother's womb and be born again?
Speaker 1: And Jesus said ah, ah.
Speaker 1: What I meant is you need to be born from above.
Speaker 1: Then Jesus made a very interesting statement.
Speaker 1: Let me read it from verse 12 and 13.
Speaker 1: This is just for somebody will pick it up Other, when it's days, when we come, he says if I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe it?
Speaker 1: Believe If I tell you what Heavenly things.
Speaker 1: Now look at this, verse 13.
Speaker 1: Now let's read it slowly.
Speaker 1: It says this Heaven, that is the Son of man who is in heaven.
Speaker 1: Do you understand that English?
Speaker 1: So let me read it again.
Speaker 1: Maybe it passed somebody here.
Speaker 1: Verse 13, let me read it again no one has ascended to heaven.
Speaker 1: Then he says but he who came down from heaven?
Speaker 1: Now, who came down from heaven?
Speaker 1: Jesus?
Speaker 1: So he's talking to Nicodemus.
Speaker 1: He came down from heaven.
Speaker 1: But then he says he asked the statement the Son of man who is in heaven.
Speaker 1: So while they are talking, he is here and there.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this God is about to take you there.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, I may be here, but I want to tell you this through that door, I am there, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: You may be poor now, but through that door, I'm wealthy.
Speaker 1: That passed somebody.
Speaker 1: You may not have bus fare to go home, but let me tell you this through that door, you have your own car to go home.
Speaker 1: 2024 is going to surprise you seriously.
Speaker 1: Remember what I said earlier if you want to enjoy the game, watch it fast when.
Speaker 1: How the game ended.
Speaker 1: Now, for example, if I was watching Liverpool and Arsenal and then I watched and I found that Liverpool lost at the end.
Speaker 1: Will I spend 90 minutes watching the movie, the game?
Speaker 1: Will I?
Speaker 1: We lost?
Speaker 1: Why watch and go through the pain, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: But because we don't walk alone, I want to tell you this Jesus is with you all the way.
Speaker 1: I'm saying he's with you all the way and you're not going to lose it.
Speaker 1: You're a winner.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, you're more than a conqueror.
Speaker 1: You may be here, but in Christ you're there.
Speaker 1: You may not know where your school physics is now, but God is going to take you to a place where your school physics has already been paid.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor.
Speaker 1: Until your neighbor, my bills are paid, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Like this thing that some boys asked these days taxes.
Speaker 1: Thank you, jesus.
Speaker 1: One time Peter comes and tells Jesus by the way, we need to pay tax, that it's not government tax, it was the temple tax.
Speaker 1: So every time they went to the temple, a tax was.
Speaker 1: You have to pay something so that that money helps run the affairs of the temple.
Speaker 1: So he comes and says Jesus, we need to pay tax.
Speaker 1: We don't have tax.
Speaker 1: Jesus did not even think twice.
Speaker 1: He says by the way, go, remember, this is a fisherman.
Speaker 1: So he says go and get fish.
Speaker 1: And just one go fish the first fish you get, open its mouth.
Speaker 1: You're going to get money enough to pay tax for you and myself.
Speaker 1: So Peter goes.
Speaker 1: He's a fisherman.
Speaker 1: He didn't tell Peter.
Speaker 1: Go work in the Shamba.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this God is going to use your current career to open doors for you that no man can shut, right where you are.
Speaker 1: God is about to shift situations in your life.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to somebody Isipasambra is called as a pastor.
Speaker 1: He's a preacher man.
Speaker 1: I cannot tomorrow, because of financial issues, start selling tomatoes in Westlands Hello.
Speaker 1: But where I am, I need to buy tomatoes.
Speaker 1: So God has placed somebody who sells tomatoes in the marketplace.
Speaker 1: So that has still to happen, is it?
Speaker 1: God knows you, he knows where you are, whether you are into computers, whether you are into technicalities, whether you are a teacher.
Speaker 1: God knows how to open doors right where you are.
Speaker 1: Like I told you earlier, he's watching your back in Jesus name.
Speaker 1: Oh God, if I could just change careers, I think I would get more money.
Speaker 1: Forget it.
Speaker 1: You try changing careers.
Speaker 1: See what will happen, because now you're trusting in careers more than you're trusting in the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
Speaker 1: So Peter goes first fish.
Speaker 1: Jesus did not tell him the third, fourth fish.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this Some of you, your miracle will come at the first, the beginning, and for some of you it is going to start this month of January, because this is the first month.
Speaker 1: This is your first fish.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, hallelujah, this month.
Speaker 1: And some of you are going.
Speaker 1: You're saying that the way things are, it's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: Fine, for you it is not going to happen.
Speaker 1: But for those of you who believe it, because I have said it, it will happen.
Speaker 1: For you You're going to have a testimony.
Speaker 1: Just look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor I am a testimony.
Speaker 1: Tell them, watch this space, hallelujah, you are a testimony, you're going to testify this month.
Speaker 1: It is the first fish you pull out, then open its mouth.
Speaker 1: There is enough money to pay his tax and Jesus' tax.
Speaker 1: So, and then Jesus said by the way, citizens or children of the King don't need to pay taxes, because then the kingdom is theirs.
Speaker 1: Hello, the kingdom is yours.
Speaker 1: Don't go tell the president that and say but the kingdom is ours, we are not paying tax.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you this, the point I'm trying to get is this God is going to surprise you in this month and because you have come today, by the way, for all of you who have come today, I have a gift.
Speaker 1: Just give me that card.
Speaker 1: It has not been given to anybody else.
Speaker 1: You are the first ones who are getting this card, so this has just been printed and came today, and it is just for those who came today.
Speaker 1: Now, if you're watching online, whatever you are, I'm not promising you anything, but because this is a physical one, it is going to be given to these physical people.
Speaker 1: But it's a gift.
Speaker 1: I've written 12 statements here that are going to be powerful for you.
Speaker 1: So get the book, but this is yours because you came.
Speaker 1: It is written new, open door that uplifts 12 statements.
Speaker 1: You are being uplifted to a new door of divine wealth.
Speaker 1: Take that.
Speaker 1: You are being uplifted to a new door of spiritual walk.
Speaker 1: I will not finish the rest.
Speaker 1: It's for you after this.
Speaker 1: So I want to finish my message, though I'm still introducing it Because I'm loaded.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor Ambrose is loaded, amen.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to give you as little as I can because we may not have time to do all these things, but what I'm trying to tell you is that there is an open door and that door is Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: One time I told somebody if this is a wall, it's a wall, it's a concrete wall.
Speaker 1: If Jesus is the door, and then Jesus came and stood in front of that wall, what suddenly happens to the wall?
Speaker 1: The wall doesn't move, but Jesus is in front of the wall.
Speaker 1: So what just happened?
Speaker 1: A door has been created, he's the door.
Speaker 1: So when he stands on any wall, a door forms, no matter what difficulty you're going through.
Speaker 1: Just let Jesus stand next to it.
Speaker 1: A door opens.
Speaker 1: Is it a financial wall?
Speaker 1: A door opens.
Speaker 1: Is it a wall where there are no ideas?
Speaker 1: You've been scratching your head and this idea is not coming in.
Speaker 1: Let Jesus stand and ideas begin to flow.
Speaker 1: Is it a place you need favor?
Speaker 1: Let Jesus be your door of favor and things just open.
Speaker 1: And, by the way, this door is a divine door and John saw an open door vision and saw that it was only Jesus who was giving an interrupted access.
Speaker 1: But I want to finish this message because we may stay here a long time.
Speaker 1: Let me give you the second one an uplifted vision.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, the vision is uplifted.
Speaker 1: It's an uplifted vision.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor.
Speaker 1: It is an uplifted vision, amen, it is a.
Speaker 1: What Vision, uplifted vision?
Speaker 1: By the way, there's another person who saw the same vision in the Bible.
Speaker 1: Do you know who that was?
Speaker 1: Which prophet in the Bible saw the same vision?
Speaker 1: Can you guess?
Speaker 1: Is it Just say if you're wrong, you're wrong.
Speaker 1: If you're right, you're right?
Speaker 1: Okay, somebody is saying Isaiah.
Speaker 1: Okay, the Bible says Isaiah saw the Lord high and lifted up and there were angels.
Speaker 1: But there's somebody else who saw this vision, who?
Speaker 1: Jacob.
Speaker 1: Okay, jacob saw Alada going up and down.
Speaker 1: Angels were going up.
Speaker 1: Another one, daniel, of course.
Speaker 1: Daniel saw many visions.
Speaker 1: There's one more person You're about to reach there, elijah.
Speaker 1: Elijah saw and went.
Speaker 1: Okay, there's one person you're missing.
Speaker 1: His name is Ezekiel.
Speaker 1: So let me read Ezekiel, chapter 1.
Speaker 1: , verse 1 to 3, and then I'll jump to verse 26.
Speaker 1: And then we shall conclude this message and tie it up for us.
Speaker 1: Are you glad you came?
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: So this is what it says, verse 1.
Speaker 1: It says now it came to pass in the 13th year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Cheba, that the heavens were what Opened and I saw what Visions of God.
Speaker 1: On the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of King Jehachim captivity, the word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel, the priest, the son of Buzzi, in the land of the Caldeans by the river Cheba, and the hand of the Lord was upon him there.
Speaker 1: Next verse Then I looked, just like John did what Looked, and I looked and behold, a wild wind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfed itself and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber.
Speaker 1: Out of the midst of the fire, also from within, it came the likeness of four living creatures and this was the appearance.
Speaker 1: And again, these are the same four creatures John saw.
Speaker 1: But let me first forward this to verse 26, because he saw what John saw.
Speaker 1: So in verse 26 it says and above the firmament, over their heads, was the likeness of what A throne In appearance, like sapphire stone.
Speaker 1: Next verse Also on the likeness of the throne was a likeness, that appearance of a man high above it.
Speaker 1: So there was a man on that throne, also from the appearance of his waist and up, what I saw is it what A color of amber, with the appearance of fire all around within it.
Speaker 1: And from the appearance of his waist and down, what I saw, is it what?
Speaker 1: The appearance of fire, with brightness all around.
Speaker 1: And he said to me son of man, stand on your feet and I will speak to you.
Speaker 1: And I will speak to you now.
Speaker 1: And then it goes on, chapter 2.
Speaker 1: In other words, this place that God is lifting us up to is a blessed place.
Speaker 1: It's a realm that has existed from eternity to eternity, but now God is saying, in 2024, it is being opened for you.
Speaker 1: It is being opened for you this year, you're going to see things you've never seen.
Speaker 1: God says what I have not seen, I will see.
Speaker 1: God is going to unveil for you amazing situations and circumstances.
Speaker 1: Where you thought you were stuck.
Speaker 1: You're going to be unstuck, in Jesus name, where you thought you could not move.
Speaker 1: God is moving you Because the realm that God is lifting you up to, the uplifted places that God is placing you, number one, it is a higher realm, it is an eternal realm, it is an abundant realm, it is a powerful realm, it is a glorious realm, it is an uplifted realm, it is an empowering realm and it is an invisible realm, but it is so real in Jesus name.
Speaker 1: Why uplifted?
Speaker 1: Because that's where the throne room is, where God says come therefore boldly to the throne of grace that you may obtain mercy and grace in time of need.
Speaker 1: We'll be talking more about that realm in the days to come, but I want to finish with the third one an accelerated vision.
Speaker 1: The watch word for this year is accelerate.
Speaker 1: That is why you see on the planner this statement accelerate.
Speaker 1: Where do we get that statement?
Speaker 1: Accelerate, revelation, chapter 4.
Speaker 1: Let me go to the Revelation, chapter 4, verse 2.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this Revelation 4, 2.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this what is the first word there?
Speaker 1: Say it again.
Speaker 1: Say it one more time Now.
Speaker 1: Let me read it in the NIV.
Speaker 1: Let's see what is there in the NIV.
Speaker 1: Niv says it this way what's the word At once?
Speaker 1: Let me read it in the amplified version.
Speaker 1: Amplified same verse, but amplified.
Speaker 1: It says at once what am I saying is this?
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is this your delays are not going to be delays anymore.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to somebody.
Speaker 1: Your delays are no longer going to be delays anymore, because things are about to happen to you at once.
Speaker 1: Things are about to happen to you immediately.
Speaker 1: Things are about to happen to you.
Speaker 1: Another word we use for that is that things are about to happen to you suddenly.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to somebody You're suddenly is coming your way.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, something may just happen to you Suddenly.
Speaker 1: Why it is an open door.
Speaker 1: It is acceleration.
Speaker 1: The Bible is talking about an unstoppable momentum.
Speaker 1: You're about to enter into something called unstoppable momentum For a jumbo jet 747, whatever it is, or 350, that's what they call it.
Speaker 1: What do they call it?
Speaker 1: Boeing?
Speaker 1: Whatever Boeing's have to go to a runway and the runway has to be so long because that Boeing needs space for acceleration.
Speaker 1: By the way, did you know that planes do not have a reverse gear?
Speaker 1: Can I talk to the people on this side?
Speaker 1: Do you know that a plane does not have a reverse gear?
Speaker 1: Go to the United Nations Airport.
Speaker 1: For the plane to begin to taxi out, it has to be pushed by another machine.
Speaker 1: It has to be pushed backwards.
Speaker 1: Once it is pushed backwards until it finds its direction, it has only one gear and it is going forward.
Speaker 1: Forget the former things.
Speaker 1: Do not dwell on the past.
Speaker 1: Somebody may have your money and they did not pay in December.
Speaker 1: Thank you, jesus.
Speaker 1: Now a past umbral is saying forget the former things.
Speaker 1: Somebody is saying he or she is a how, but in Jesus we are saying that money they should have paid you last year and they refused to pay you.
Speaker 1: May God pay you four times this year in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Somebody said amen, I receive it.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I was talking about this plane.
Speaker 1: So God is not asking you to reverse.
Speaker 1: God is taking this plane forward, and so the plane taxis, it goes nicely, it goes poli, poli until it reaches a runway and on that runway there is no In the coming plane.
Speaker 1: This other plane has to stop until that plane hits the ground.
Speaker 1: Once the control tower tells this plane you are ready to fly out, there are no obstacles, you are ready to go.
Speaker 1: This is what Pastambra was telling you in this month of January.
Speaker 1: The runway is clear.
Speaker 1: Everybody is speaking from the control tower of heaven and saying the runway is clear, ready for take off Faster?
Speaker 1: In your seat belt, look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor just do it, imaginary, just do this.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 1: Let me ask, just for that sake, because some of you, your history is going to change how many of you have never been in a plane, what's up?
Speaker 1: So even what I'm saying you're not understanding.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor understanding it by faith.
Speaker 1: You know, I heard this story and I'm about to finish.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I heard the story of these ladies who have taken to Dubai, taken to those Arabian countries, some of them for the first time, from Sharks into the airplane out.
Speaker 1: I was told of one instance of this lady when the planes started taxiing, they started screaming and they are screaming.
Speaker 1: They are told to sit down.
Speaker 1: They cannot sit down.
Speaker 1: They are screaming and shouting and the issue is just a mindset.
Speaker 1: Hello, there really had to be cocks to sit down.
Speaker 1: They had to be calmed down.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to calm some of you right now Because you're about to take off.
Speaker 1: So tell your neighbor, put on the seat belt.
Speaker 1: We are going to heights that you have never gone to.
Speaker 1: You see, mindset.
Speaker 1: There's a time I went to the US.
Speaker 1: We went to this guy, a friend I never had never met him, but he was an old man, I'm aside.
Speaker 1: We were going for a conference, never flown before, and then he saw me and he had seen me on TV.
Speaker 1: So he got from where he sit and he came to sit where I was sitting and he said, ambrose, I'm not leaving you.
Speaker 1: So we sat and the way he attached himself to me the whole time, we were in the US.
Speaker 1: So he's looking through the window, we have gone through the clouds and we are about 33,000 feet and the clouds are now below us, all the clouds.
Speaker 1: There's nothing due.
Speaker 1: All the clouds are deep down.
Speaker 1: So he's looking out and he's seeing these clouds, clouds, clouds.
Speaker 1: He says, ambrose, I'm looking at a forest.
Speaker 1: This forest is not.
Speaker 1: This forest has never.
Speaker 1: This year.
Speaker 1: You're going to see things and they're not forests.
Speaker 1: You are so far above the clouds.
Speaker 1: You just need God to change your mind.
Speaker 1: You're going to be surprised.
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 1: Because you're coming up, and I pray for those who lifted up your hands that God will give you an opportunity to fly out of this country On a plane Jesus name, whether you're flying to Mombasa, flying to Kisumu, wherever that God is going to give you an opportunity to fly, hallelujah, to fly, so that you can have this experience of looking down through the window.
Speaker 1: And I try to convince him because I told him this is not a forest, he says, but it has been there for quite some time.
Speaker 1: I said it's not a forest, we are above the clouds.
Speaker 1: Come up here Some of your finances.
Speaker 1: God is going to bless you with so much wealth you will not understand what is down there.
Speaker 1: Somebody missed that.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine somebody who used to just earn 30K?
Speaker 1: They were able to plan with 30K.
Speaker 1: Then, out of nowhere, they are getting 300,000.
Speaker 1: They are still trying to function with 30K Because that's what they are used.
Speaker 1: To Tell your neighbor your boundary is about to be enlarged.
Speaker 1: Because I want to finish, because I've really been trying to finish, so let me finish by you standing up.
Speaker 1: So why don't you just stand up?
Speaker 1: That will tell me that I need to finish.
Speaker 1: So tell your neighbor you better show up next Wednesday.
Speaker 1: But I was trying to finish by telling you this this is an accelerated vision.
Speaker 1: You are about to accelerate, and once that plane is on that runway, I always wait for that moment when the engines begin to rev.
Speaker 1: And now let's tell the Holy Spirit Holy Spirit, come, because that force is so powerful.
Speaker 1: I close my eyes and then this thing, just big thing, begins to accelerate through a certain speed and at that point the wing flaps suddenly shift and there is something called the uplift force that lifts the plane.
Speaker 1: The plane is not trying to try to get itself up.
Speaker 1: But there's physics.
Speaker 1: This thing just shifts the air under it.
Speaker 1: Boom lifts this thing.
Speaker 1: With so much ease God is about to lift you up With so much ease you will not struggle.
Speaker 1: I'm saying you will not struggle In Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Are you receiving that?
Speaker 1: I receive it.
Speaker 1: It's an acceleration.
Speaker 1: Acts, chapter eight.
Speaker 1: There's somebody who experienced that acceleration.
Speaker 1: His name was Philip.
Speaker 1: So let me read that and then we pray.
Speaker 1: Acts, chapter eight was 39 and 40.
Speaker 1: Because you are immediately is going to come.
Speaker 1: You are suddenly is going to come.
Speaker 1: You are instantly is going to come.
Speaker 1: You are at once is going to come.
Speaker 1: You are now is happening.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to somebody.
Speaker 1: You are now is happening now.
Speaker 1: So let me read this once Philip has just baptized this guy and this guy has gone back to Ethiopia.
Speaker 1: Now, verse 39.
Speaker 1: When they came up out of the water, the spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip and carried him away to a different place and the eunuch no longer saw him.
Speaker 1: But he went on his way rejoicing.
Speaker 1: But Philip found himself at Azotas and as he passed through he preached the good news of salvation to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
Speaker 1: And they say they are Maritima, that's another name for it.
Speaker 1: This guy is in the desert, this guy is going to Ethiopia and Philip needs to be in another place and he needed momentum.
Speaker 1: He needed, and instantly he needed and at once happening to him.
Speaker 1: And who made it happen for him?
Speaker 1: The spirit.
Speaker 1: That's what happened to John.
Speaker 1: Come up here and the Bible says immediately I was in the spirit, boom, I was in a place I did not expect to be.
Speaker 1: You're about to go to a place you don't expect instantly.
Speaker 1: It's a momentum, it's an acceleration, whether in your health, whether in your finances, whether in your opportunities.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it may not be happening to anybody, everybody else, but it will happen for you.
Speaker 1: I'm saying it will happen for you.
Speaker 1: So let's read this book together.
Speaker 1: You write your notes, read this card.
Speaker 1: It has 12 scriptures with it and I'm telling you we will go to the next level.
Speaker 1: Are you excited?
Speaker 1: If you're not, excited me, I'm excited Me.
Speaker 1: I'm going places in Jesus name, born, as if you were, and I'm telling you, for some of you, when you come back on Wednesday, you'll be coming back with a testimony.
Speaker 1: This week, seven days, you're coming back with a testimony in Jesus name.
Speaker 1: How do I know?
Speaker 1: Because the door is open.
Speaker 1: The door is open.
Speaker 1: How many of you?
Speaker 1: When you go through an open door, you stand in the middle of the door and you start admiring the door.
Speaker 1: You start admiring.
Speaker 1: The door is not there to be admired.
Speaker 1: The door is there for you to go through.
Speaker 1: May the Lord take you through.
Speaker 1: The door is not locked.
Speaker 1: Don't even knock.
Speaker 1: It's open 2024.
Speaker 1: And that's why, in Psalms 24 it says let the ancient gates be lifted up, that the king of glory may come in 24.
Speaker 1: Psalms 24.
Speaker 1: 2024.
Speaker 1: This is the year, this is your year.
Speaker 1: Neat it, lampano it.
Speaker 1: Take it in Jesus name, take it, put in your heart, take it, put it in your pocket, take it, put it in your head.
Speaker 1: Just take it.
Speaker 1: Bring it into your situation and God will do the rest.
Speaker 1: Father, as we stand and I know there are those watching online, wherever they are we are saying tonight We've taken some time to introduce this subject, but, god, this message is so loaded that, lord, it will take us time to unravel it, and so, holy Spirit, unravel it for us, give us the insights.
Speaker 1: What John saw that day blew his mind Out of that island of Patmos into the throne room of God, seeing lights, seeing brilliance, seeing noises, hearing noises and sights and sounds.
Speaker 1: My God, I pray that in 2024, we will not just sit in an island stuck, an island of poverty, an island of limitation, but, lord, we are going to the throne room of God where there are no limits, where there is light, where the Father is talking and he's saying I will show you great and hidden things that you do not know.
Speaker 1: That is our portion in 2024.
Speaker 1: That is my portion in 2024.
Speaker 1: And, dear Lord, that is the portion of this congregation, those watching online and every person under the voice of my preaching, my God, may they experience this amazing invitation into the throne room of God, may they experience the open door, may they experience acceleration, may they be uplifted to a new season with new possibilities.
Speaker 1: If you believe that, you better say I receive it, I take it, it is my portion and there's nothing that the devil can do about it.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, now give God a big hand, amen, amen.
Speaker 1: As I release the benediction, I want to tell you this Don't worry that if you go out, it is dark or if you go out, there are still deaths waiting for you.
Speaker 1: If you go out, there's a landlord still on your case, hello.
Speaker 1: But you're not going out alone, you're going with the uplifted open door.
Speaker 1: Let that dog walk with you wherever you go.
Speaker 1: You may reach home and your child is sick, but let the open door be right there.
Speaker 1: Put your hand on that child and say the healing is flowing into my child right now.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, go and touch that fee structure that right now you don't even know where the resources are going to come from.
Speaker 1: Touch that fee structure and say the abundance of God is flowing through.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, amen.
Speaker 1: That miracle will be yours.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, come on, give God another big hand.
Speaker 1: By the way, tell your neighbor there's a cup of tea.
Speaker 1: That's an open door, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: There's a cup of tea just next to that open door, so take some of it.
Speaker 1: Don't take everything.
Speaker 1: Let some people also take a cup of tea and don't go away with a cup.
Speaker 1: Please let the cup stay here.
Speaker 1: God loves you, amen.
Speaker 1: Let's appreciate the worship team.
Speaker 1: Let's appreciate Josephine who led us in prayer, amen.
Speaker 1: And then appreciate your neighbor for sitting next to you.
Speaker 1: Give them a high five, amen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, give them a high five.
Speaker 1: I appreciate them, those who visited with us.
Speaker 1: God bless you.
Speaker 1: Come again Now.
Speaker 1: Lift up your hand as I release us.
Speaker 1: How many of you are coming back with a testimony next week?
Speaker 1: I include myself.
Speaker 1: Yes, I love that testimony in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: Yes, god bless you.
Speaker 1: God bless you.
Speaker 1: And of those watching online, god bless you.
Speaker 1: Let's connect this year.
Speaker 1: Let's connect and let God connect with us in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Lift up your hands as I bless you In the name that is above every name.
Speaker 1: Oh God, I bless your people and thank you, lord, at this first service that we are having on this Wednesday.
Speaker 1: The Lord, it has set the pace for us for the next many Wednesdays when we'll be able to come and engage not only in prayer but also in the word, and also in fellowship and in solitude.
Speaker 1: And whatever we do, we'll always bring glory and honor to your name, father.
Speaker 1: We have already taken the testimonies because we shall be men and women of testimonies, because we have connected to the Word of God, to the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our uplifted, open door.
Speaker 1: And now, in that name, 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, who opens doors for you, may nobody shut them.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, you're blessed when you come in.
Speaker 1: You're blessed when you go out.
Speaker 1: You're blessed when you sit down and when you rise up.
Speaker 1: There is no obstacle on your way.
Speaker 1: The runway is clear.
Speaker 1: We are taking off in the name of Jesus.
Speaker 1: Acceleration is on our side.
Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is our fuel.
Speaker 1: Jesus is our captain.
Speaker 1: God the Father is the plane, and we are going into the unlimited heavens of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
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 said let's give God a big hand.
Speaker 1: Amen, amen, amen.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, surely goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life and you shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever, and there's nothing the devil can do about it.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name and now, may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forever.
Speaker 1: Amen, shalom, reach well, have a good night.
