Speaker 1: Proverbs 31, verse 10 to 12, and verse 30.
Speaker 1: A wife of noble character who can find she's worth far more than diamonds, and her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
Speaker 1: She brings him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.
Speaker 1: Verse 30,.
Speaker 1: Charm is deceitful, beauty is fleeting, but the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Speaker 1: Father, we thank you because wherever two or three are gathered in your name, you are in their middest.
Speaker 1: We lift you up as king of kings and lord of lords, and as we share your word, may we lift you up and draw men and women to yourself.
Speaker 1: And this prayer we make, believing and trusting in Jesus' name as you sit, remain some money of precious.
Speaker 1: You are honored and Jesus really loves you.
Speaker 1: I think there's a child who's here for the very first time in their life.
Speaker 1: How old is the baby?
Speaker 1: Two months.
Speaker 1: All right, father, we want to speak of blessing on that baby and the name Giovanni Giovanni.
Speaker 1: All right, let's pray.
Speaker 1: Father, we thank you for this beautiful baby who's come to church today.
Speaker 1: We choose to bless the baby.
Speaker 1: Bless her with long life, bless with the goodness of heaven that God will meet each one of you at every point of need.
Speaker 1: As you bring up this child, bring him up in the fear of God.
Speaker 1: May he make impact in his generation.
Speaker 1: We pray over his health provision, a meeting of every need, and we bless you today because we do it in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: God's people said amen and amen.
Speaker 1: So to connect with them through the service and the Lord might transfer the anointing to the glory of his name.
Speaker 1: Reminding you of the theme vision books, we have them at the book table and also the resource center is open outside the year of the uplifted open door.
Speaker 1: Three things you need to remember about this year John, chapter 10, verse 124, jesus the open door.
Speaker 1: Liberation three, seven and eight.
Speaker 1: That door, when it's open no one can chat.
Speaker 1: And liberation 10, six.
Speaker 1: You accelerate it, no more delay, accelerate it.
Speaker 1: So the word this year is accelerated.
Speaker 1: The books are available together with the planners for only 1200 and kindly connect and the Lord will bless you big time.
Speaker 1: So there's a planner and the theme vision book and they are available at the book table Gives you also an overview of the Parklands Baptist Church ministries and what God is speaking to us this year.
Speaker 1: Come to someone near you and wish them happy Valentine.
Speaker 1: I was talking to a member area and he said I'm not a church.
Speaker 1: And he said, ah, he's a good guy and he has, but doesn't take out often.
Speaker 1: And today he said he's taking out for dinner.
Speaker 1: He come up here your dinner.
Speaker 1: You're blessed, you go enjoy the dinner.
Speaker 1: And I think, because of that, allow me, as much as we are talking about the year of the open door, declarations and authority, having authority to speak, allow me to take a few moments to speak into the area of our marriages and I'd like to go to see you and we celebrate Cyrus and your family and God bless you, pasta Nyota and your team.
Speaker 1: Good to see you, good to see all of you.
Speaker 1: It's been a long time I was on this pulpit, so you see people differently from here, and it's beautiful and we bless each one of you that 2024 may indeed be an amazing year for you.
Speaker 1: So this passage of scripture is written in verse one of Proverbs 31.
Speaker 1: It says is a king who is listening to the utterance of the mother.
Speaker 1: So people need guidance and mothers.
Speaker 1: They are normally the discipline masters in the house Because Mzee is busy up and down.
Speaker 1: I remember my dad never beat us Because I was a young woman, but I was a woman.
Speaker 1: She was terror.
Speaker 1: I was a woman who was a woman and the authority was a woman who was a woman.
Speaker 1: So mothers are important people in our lives and wherever they are, tonight we celebrate them.
Speaker 1: We pray that they will grow gracefully.
Speaker 1: We pray that God will keep them away from pain and from sickness and disease and that God will lift them up and provide their water and their food and their shelter and their clothing and everything they need for life and Godliness.
Speaker 1: I pray that mothers will get successful children.
Speaker 1: Mothers will get sons and daughters of good report.
Speaker 1: We celebrate them.
Speaker 1: And you know now the mothers of our time.
Speaker 1: They had many kids to deal with.
Speaker 1: They were dealing with more than six, seven, eight and they saw us through.
Speaker 1: So we celebrate them tonight.
Speaker 1: See that they had to pay to a barber a kidney.
Speaker 1: They did less in our time, but here we celebrate them.
Speaker 1: They offered leadership and direction in the home.
Speaker 1: So this mother has experienced many things and now they can impart to the next generation.
Speaker 1: Maracay Shaptatu, verse 15, is one of my favorite verses in scripture.
Speaker 1: That is our responsibility to train a godly next generation.
Speaker 1: So your children are not brought up until they can stand on their own two feet and make decisions that are godly.
Speaker 1: Titus 211, the grace of God has appeared to all men, teaching them to say yes to the things of God and no to the wrong things.
Speaker 1: Some don't think they are put at a decision and they are not there.
Speaker 1: That child is brought up.
Speaker 1: But come and think about it.
Speaker 1: Come in 2030.
Speaker 1: Badukibaduhaiko, and mostly after they are 18, 19,.
Speaker 1: Now you are bringing the mappies on your knees.
Speaker 1: You keep praying that God will find them faithful.
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 1: Because if they are not in God, they will not prosper.
Speaker 1: But if they are in God, it's a critical mission.
Speaker 1: If they are in God, it will go well with them.
Speaker 1: Joshua was told in Joshua 189 that read the word meditate on it day and night.
Speaker 1: Be careful to do what is written.
Speaker 1: You will prosper and be successful.
Speaker 1: That's why you want your children to be a place where they are internalizing the word of God and doing the right and not the wrong, and then they will.
Speaker 1: It's a matter of time.
Speaker 1: They will prosper and they will be successful.
Speaker 1: Your emphasis is repeated in some chapter one Keep away from wickedness and from sinful people and from people who are wicked, and meditate on the word of God day and night and you will be prosperous and successful in whatever you do.
Speaker 1: If they are artists or teachers or entrepreneurs, they will prosper.
Speaker 1: So that's the work of a parent, and this parent in Proverbs 21, a kojob.
Speaker 1: I want to give you advice on how to engage in this area.
Speaker 1: I'm calling my meditation today.
Speaker 1: Love never fails, but of course, in the 21st century, marriages fail.
Speaker 1: Marriages have, they call them rocks, marriages are rocking and all that.
Speaker 1: And I dare to say that it is because we are doing it our own way.
Speaker 1: We are not asking for God's help.
Speaker 1: Do you know?
Speaker 1: You can have a new car in your garage and still choose to work, to work.
Speaker 1: So God's power is so much available to us in our generation, but many times we want to do it our own way.
Speaker 1: Proverbs three, five, six and seven in all your ways, acknowledge God and he will direct your path.
Speaker 1: So we are coming back to what God would have us do and a new understanding in this area.
Speaker 1: People perish when they don't understand, but where there is reverence, where there is understanding, where the word of God is spreading, the power of God is resident, also to make sure what God has promised will happen.
Speaker 1: So number one this mother tells the son who is a king if you find a wife who is good, she is going to be more precious than diamonds and gold.
Speaker 1: And this scripture is dual can be used for the lady, can be used for the man, to finding a spouse.
Speaker 1: You know people today are dating.
Speaker 1: You know, for me, dating that is more than one year.
Speaker 1: You're wasting each other's time.
Speaker 1: I know I've said those stories, but I'll take it now.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you take off.
Speaker 1: So we are month number six.
Speaker 1: So month nine, and you visit my father and mother who are being a kid.
Speaker 1: That's how you test whether they are of noble character.
Speaker 1: That's what's written here.
Speaker 1: So not everyone is variable.
Speaker 1: It is the ones who are of noble character, who have an upright standing, so we said, who know how to distinct between right and wrong.
Speaker 1: You know there are some people.
Speaker 1: Everything is okay for them.
Speaker 1: They can do this, they can do the other, but this one is specific to people who know their right to do.
Speaker 1: Let me have one scripture on the board John 14, 23.
Speaker 1: I want to teach you tonight where is the grace of God flowing and where is the grace not flowing.
Speaker 1: Let's read this together 3, 2, 1.
Speaker 1: Jesus reprised anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.
Speaker 1: My father will love them and we will come in and make our home with them.
Speaker 1: So the grace of God flows where people hear him and obey him.
Speaker 1: So if you are in that dating space, check whether your spouse or your fancy they hear God Very critical.
Speaker 1: I was checking for a channel and I was checking for a channel so that they can concentrate on radio.
Speaker 1: Where is the drama?
Speaker 1: Here is the scripture To naseema hear God's word and then not just hearing, because hearing is great, but doing God's word is when the grace activates.
Speaker 1: So God has so much power ready for you.
Speaker 1: The power doesn't work if you don't start to obey, but if you hear and you move, then the great power.
Speaker 1: That's why you cannot fail if God is in partnership with you.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this God never failed.
Speaker 1: Let's just a snapshot.
Speaker 1: People are in Egypt.
Speaker 1: They are slaves for 430 years.
Speaker 1: It's like the forgotten freedom.
Speaker 1: But years back God had promised I will set you free.
Speaker 1: So when the time is ripe, he comes and sets them free.
Speaker 1: You know that's a lot of darkness you are in 400 years after you went to Wabi, you had promised you would live a life of slavery.
Speaker 1: But because he had promised, he came again as Pharaoh and set the captives free.
Speaker 1: There is no way.
Speaker 1: There is a river I mean a sea there is nowhere to go, and God makes a way and provides in the desert for 40 years.
Speaker 1: Whatever God has said, he will do.
Speaker 1: God will deliver.
Speaker 1: Let me give you one more scripture that is very dear to me.
Speaker 1: Joshua, chapter 21, verse 45, is a summary of the journey from Egypt to the promised land.
Speaker 1: Let's lead 3 to 1.
Speaker 1: Not one of all the Lord's good promises to Israel has failed.
Speaker 1: Everyone hears.
Speaker 1: He's looking back after 80 years of ministry, saying in these 80 years, everything God said, god delivered.
Speaker 1: But if you do it your own way, the grace to do is not there.
Speaker 1: So if you fail, don't come and say God I failed.
Speaker 1: No, you left the path.
Speaker 1: He's looking for people of noble character who hear and who obey.
Speaker 1: Half of the people say God I failed.
Speaker 1: Who's a get word?
Speaker 1: But it's a question of hearing and then obeying.
Speaker 1: If you obey God, you will be in nobility.
Speaker 1: The grace of God will come and lift you up to give you success In the 21st century.
Speaker 1: There are many storms that are blowing Economy door in end, and any.
Speaker 1: Now God is not so worried about those things, god is just worried.
Speaker 1: Are you hearing me?
Speaker 1: Are you obeying?
Speaker 1: Now, when you obey God what he does, he lifts you up.
Speaker 1: Problems are easy, but an acquaintance above the problems In the year 4028, those who wait on the Lord renew their strength.
Speaker 1: They mount up, mount up, knee jack.
Speaker 1: And now you see, I'm not a traitor, I'm a traitor.
Speaker 1: I'm a traitor, I'm a traitor.
Speaker 1: And now I'm a traitor.
Speaker 1: Just assume, like now you're in CBD.
Speaker 1: There's so much traffic, isn't it happens in CBD, right, but where were you?
Speaker 1: You were in the expressway.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've driven on the expressway.
Speaker 1: It's so funny.
Speaker 1: Even you can drive slowly.
Speaker 1: You know to talk, you know to be in a good mood.
Speaker 1: To be in a good mood, you're not stuck, but you are lifted up.
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 1: Because you paid the express at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, even if you're in the city, you know what, you know your door, you know your house, you know, and you're not going to be in a good mood, because God is about delivery.
Speaker 1: You know, god is not a theory, god.
Speaker 1: God is about taking you to destiny.
Speaker 1: Let me look at one more scripture Ephesians, chapter 2, verse 10.
Speaker 1: There is a place.
Speaker 1: Tell someone here you, there's a place, I'm going.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my life is not random.
Speaker 1: I'm not here to you.
Speaker 1: You're not here to you.
Speaker 1: You're not here.
Speaker 1: It, you're not here.
Speaker 1: You think I am embarrassed?
Speaker 1: You know, you're not here to you.
Speaker 1: You're not here to you.
Speaker 1: I'm not here to you.
Speaker 1: You're not here to you.
Speaker 1: You're not here to me.
Speaker 1: You're not here to you.
Speaker 1: You're not here to.
Speaker 1: Where are you?
Speaker 1: Okay, now, here I am.
Speaker 1: There's a place.
Speaker 1: I'm not here to you.
Speaker 1: Tell someone here.
Speaker 1: They're here to me.
Speaker 1: What are you saying?
Speaker 1: And the parents?
Speaker 1: Some of you would like to change parents.
Speaker 1: There's no opportunity.
Speaker 1: You only, god had decided to be a Jipata, but God knew.
Speaker 1: So there's a place.
Speaker 1: God is taking you and he wants to take you there quickly.
Speaker 1: God has all the resources, everything you ever needed in life, and he can take you there at speed, but you need to hear him and you need to obey him.
Speaker 1: When you do, you become noble.
Speaker 1: And when you become noble you become variable.
Speaker 1: You become more than diamonds, more than gold.
Speaker 1: Diamonds and gold are some of the most precious metals.
Speaker 1: There's a place in the US called Fort Knox.
Speaker 1: It's a place where they keep gold bullion.
Speaker 1: So when the dora you say the dora is 150, it is because of the value of the gold tied to the dora.
Speaker 1: So it's a very precious metal.
Speaker 1: Now it's so precious that men die looking for gold because you'd have to dig it under the earth, two kilometers, three kilometers under the earth, so there's no enough oxygen and all.
Speaker 1: So it's difficult.
Speaker 1: But now he's lifting you above.
Speaker 1: He's saying you are more variable than you know.
Speaker 1: There are some people they want to get married so that their wives can cook and clean.
Speaker 1: So, as you did have this in mind, you're looking for value, you're looking for precious, you are looking for a higher standard.
Speaker 1: Let's continue with this wisdom of Proverbs 31.
Speaker 1: He says you need to build full confidence.
Speaker 1: Two words are used here Full confidence and lack nothing of value.
Speaker 1: You know, full confidence doesn't come easy.
Speaker 1: Assume you are a new driver and I ride in your car, isn't it?
Speaker 1: In fact, they say that her birds are very bad at teaching their wives to drive.
Speaker 1: If you are a good driver, she is learning to drive.
Speaker 1: She is driving, but she is panicking.
Speaker 1: That's why they need to go to a driving school, where also the instructor has his own pedals.
Speaker 1: Yes, there is a member of this church I found in town running how to drive.
Speaker 1: She is a bump instructor.
Speaker 1: You build confidence by going through tough experiences together.
Speaker 1: If you go through a tough experience, you are able to build confidence.
Speaker 1: I am just using this as an example.
Speaker 1: You have been dating a guy and you tell him you are pregnant.
Speaker 1: I have a friend who is saying hey, I am a DNA expert, I am confident, I am not doubtful.
Speaker 1: Confidence is not easy to build because it is a journey.
Speaker 1: One of the beauty of marriage is creating memories.
Speaker 1: You do things together, you pick it up again.
Speaker 1: That journey helps you to build confidence.
Speaker 1: David in 1 Samuel 17 was facing Goryath, but he had built confidence in his God.
Speaker 1: He told a soul that God has helped me fight the bear and fight the lion.
Speaker 1: He told me that I have had these experiences Because he is the same God.
Speaker 1: I did this with him.
Speaker 1: Everyone was saying that Goryath is too big to fight.
Speaker 1: David experienced that and said that Goryath is too big to miss.
Speaker 1: Who is that guy?
Speaker 1: Because of the confidence he had built.
Speaker 1: Can I give you just one moment?
Speaker 1: You have rebuilt your confidence in God.
Speaker 1: Mary is a man.
Speaker 1: The primary thing is that you fail.
Speaker 1: You have to build confidence.
Speaker 1: You are not so beautiful and you found a guy to propose.
Speaker 1: That is how you build confidence.
Speaker 1: God is just laid down.
Speaker 1: People were saying that you are too thin to get pregnant.
Speaker 1: Now you have two children.
Speaker 1: You build confidence.
Speaker 1: Experiences that you have gone through you start to see that my life is taking shape.
Speaker 1: It is because the hand of God is upon you to bless you.
Speaker 1: You build confidence in each other.
Speaker 1: You have to build confidence in each other.
Speaker 1: You can build confidence and be negligent.
Speaker 1: You have left some things behind.
Speaker 1: Let me have one more scripture in the book of Psalm 84, verse 11.
Speaker 1: In Psalm 84, verse 11, none of my favourites.
Speaker 1: Again, let's read it together.
Speaker 1: God is a son and a shield.
Speaker 1: He bestows favour and honour, and no good thing does he withhold from those whose work is blamed.
Speaker 1: No good, you got everything.
Speaker 1: You know there are some people who get some things but they didn't get everything.
Speaker 1: I say I am not good enough.
Speaker 1: I am too send to the house.
Speaker 1: There are so many travel efforts and progress efforts.
Speaker 1: There is so much more to do and hope for my hovel.
Speaker 1: And there are more people who bee despised, bit, manual, accident, positivity.
Speaker 1: You get twenty, forty, sixty and you get here through the whole house.
Speaker 1: You do get everything, you didn't.
Speaker 1: Your scripture doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Nothing was left behind.
Speaker 1: Something was left behind.
Speaker 1: The only chairs were Katika, iohari.
Speaker 1: So this building confidence, you have to come with that prayer that God let nothing good be left behind.
Speaker 1: You know we are going to heaven, but we are not all going to heaven the same, not on Africa, big one.
Speaker 1: You are clear, because between the two it's the back in your mind.
Speaker 1: I tell you I'm not going to be left behind Because I'm going to be left behind.
Speaker 1: Confidence and everything good, of value is the back in your mind.
Speaker 1: There's a pressure who used to make me laugh and I say I'm not going to be left behind, but I'm going to be right behind them.
Speaker 1: I say I'm not going to be left behind.
Speaker 1: I tell you I'm not going to be left behind, I'm not going to be left behind.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be left behind Because I remember when I was in my house, I was in my room, so I was going to be left behind.
Speaker 1: I said I'm not going to be left behind, I'm going to be left behind, I'm going to be left behind.
Speaker 1: No good thing is left behind.
Speaker 1: You know, this kingdom is for progress.
Speaker 1: God is a package, so he can't give you this and give you the other one.
Speaker 1: A short change.
Speaker 1: Of course there are people who, the way they grew up, one foot is shorter than the other one, isn't it?
Speaker 1: Few of them is an abnormality, but normally God will give you the left foot and the right foot equal in length.
Speaker 1: See, do you know?
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be left behind.
Speaker 1: I'm a bit not okay.
Speaker 1: No, they are there.
Speaker 1: See, I'm not going to be left behind.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be left behind.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be left behind.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be left behind.
Speaker 1: So you have a basis to pray that everything comes with the package.
Speaker 1: It could be a power, isn't it, especially in these dating issues and relationships.
Speaker 1: Ask God, because he's promised.
Speaker 1: He says full confidence and lacks nothing of value when you write a scripture and say no good thing will be denied.
Speaker 1: Do you know?
Speaker 1: Good things don't just come.
Speaker 1: You got to ask for them.
Speaker 1: But you have to understand that you deserve so that you ask.
Speaker 1: Just recently I was with a lady and in my spirit I know this lady needs to be married.
Speaker 1: So I'm telling her we need to pray.
Speaker 1: She's confident Because she's not bold enough.
Speaker 1: Build confidence.
Speaker 1: This confidence is all around.
Speaker 1: It's a 360.
Speaker 1: Confidence to ask for a promotion in the office.
Speaker 1: Confidence to ask for the next thing you don't know, because nobody knows everything.
Speaker 1: What you don't know, ask confidently.
Speaker 1: Actually, god blesses you when you come to Him confidently.
Speaker 1: God, I am here but I'm not confident.
Speaker 1: You can make me change.
Speaker 1: That's what I want in a flesh and a mongu, because inside you you are made.
Speaker 1: There's something that resonates when you come.
Speaker 1: God understands.
Speaker 1: How could you understand that?
Speaker 1: The spirit speaks to your spirit?
Speaker 1: Because there is a connection between your God and once you are in God's hand now, he will make you wholesome.
Speaker 1: Whatever was left behind.
Speaker 1: Ataku thought so.
Speaker 1: Build confidence.
Speaker 1: There are some people who are not confident.
Speaker 1: Maybe you are in a married situation.
Speaker 1: You know, husband, I'm not sure if you're at home, but you're not a bad person, you're not a bad person, you're just a bad person.
Speaker 1: You're just a bad person.
Speaker 1: Now you're going to be able to text her, right, isn't it?
Speaker 1: There's a couple actually.
Speaker 1: That really helped them.
Speaker 1: They're having issues with text message.
Speaker 1: Some steamy messages are coming on this phone late at night.
Speaker 1: So we threw that phone away.
Speaker 1: We bought a new one without those contacts.
Speaker 1: There's no message in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: A simple solution to a simple problem.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we're going to talk about you because of a small thing.
Speaker 1: Even there's another guy who was making me laugh and I said You've been married for 20 years and now you are a flayed of a skinny girl in the university.
Speaker 1: You're not confident.
Speaker 1: You're just a bad person.
Speaker 1: So you pray and then he gets confused.
Speaker 1: He's going to ask you to go to the university.
Speaker 1: Are you a lecturer?
Speaker 1: No, are you the washman?
Speaker 1: No, I'm not the washman.
Speaker 1: How about you?
Speaker 1: Then the guy comes home and says I prayed about it.
Speaker 1: But what you're looking for along the way you will find.
Speaker 1: So don't even look.
Speaker 1: Build confidence.
Speaker 1: But then, number three.
Speaker 1: He says what I think is very important.
Speaker 1: He says do each other good.
Speaker 1: Again, this is a double.
Speaker 1: He says do each other good and not harm all the days.
Speaker 1: So it means you actually have capacity to do the wrong, true or not.
Speaker 1: Do each other good and not harm.
Speaker 1: And then he says all the days of your life.
Speaker 1: So doing good has to be deliberate, it has to be an investment of your time and your resource.
Speaker 1: I was telling a friend of mine it's the wife's birthday.
Speaker 1: He'd never really bought her any gift.
Speaker 1: So he came to me and I figured he passed her and I said come here, let me tell you, with girls hard bag you'll never go wrong.
Speaker 1: You'll never go wrong.
Speaker 1: He said you'll never be expensive, you'll have your money.
Speaker 1: Guys are easy to sort out.
Speaker 1: Ladies do not go to the market because the king is tired.
Speaker 1: The king is angry.
Speaker 1: But I told him this thing works.
Speaker 1: So it's deliberate.
Speaker 1: You thought about me, you spent some money on me and you came.
Speaker 1: My friend's true story he never bought flowers.
Speaker 1: He said if we don't go he'll do affair in the Eastlands.
Speaker 1: But he gave you a newspaper in your home.
Speaker 1: He sold it like that.
Speaker 1: And it even happened when I was younger and there's somebody at theUmmeretta銀 house they wanted to sell to.
Speaker 1: I knew at least you had the right to think and buy.
Speaker 1: You even used To forgive people, do each other.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not too much thinking, it's just being deliberate and committing some resources.
Speaker 1: And then don't do those two and then don't finish Me.
Speaker 1: I don't like it.
Speaker 1: I do not like to be bored.
Speaker 1: I like it, especially when I'm busy.
Speaker 1: When I'm busy, I don't like to be bored.
Speaker 1: I don't like to be bored.
Speaker 1: That's the time you take those flowers, go to the reception.
Speaker 1: You say actually I want to see her boss, so that I ask permission to see her when she's working.
Speaker 1: And you say the boss, I'm the regarding married husband, I've taken goats and chickens.
Speaker 1: And also you remind the boss by the way, I have a very rough brother.
Speaker 1: Can I please take flowers to her?
Speaker 1: It's got to be deliberate.
Speaker 1: And then finish off with a good show at the end.
Speaker 1: But then he says also, they harm.
Speaker 1: It's very unfortunate.
Speaker 1: A lot of these things we are seeing in social media.
Speaker 1: Now you go to Adobe B&B, then the girl has died.
Speaker 1: So that guy had meditated, isn't it Very, very unfortunate?
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry for those families that have suffered.
Speaker 1: But don't do, when you do harm, actually down the lane.
Speaker 1: It will come back because you've planted a seed.
Speaker 1: So invest in doing good.
Speaker 1: But it's deliberate to say and not harm.

Speaker 1: There's a famous writer in West Africa.
Speaker 1: He wrote and said the beautiful ones are not yet born.
Speaker 1: I think they are born, but things keep changing, isn't it?
Speaker 1: So what was beauty?
Speaker 1: You know, in my mother's time, beauty was round and nice.
Speaker 1: In fact, if you are a skinny wife, the people had problem with you.
Speaker 1: You are not able to feed her.
Speaker 1: So they grew nice and round.
Speaker 1: Now beauty is different and all that, but it's for a short time.
Speaker 1: So the point he's saying here don't spend too much time in the salons.

Speaker 1: But he says build confidence and know that it is in godliness.
Speaker 1: The woman who is beautiful is the woman who is godly.
Speaker 1: That's where the real beauty is.
Speaker 1: But a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Speaker 1: We declare that there will be provision and a meeting of every need.
Speaker 1: Indeed, no good thing with you.
Speaker 1: Luck as you walk up prairie.
Speaker 1: Father, we thank you because scripture doesn't lie and you, it's you who's put scripture there.
Speaker 1: And I add, with this scripture in Ecclesiastes, chapter four, where he says two are better than one, they have a good return for the rabah.
Speaker 1: May you be better than when you are alone in your relationship.
Speaker 1: May it make you you are already complete, but may it bring beauty and may it bring joy and may it bring wholeness.
Speaker 1: The Bible says if you fall down, the other can help you up.
Speaker 1: So we pray that in your relationship there be a helping of each other.
Speaker 1: If you find someone is down where you are strong, lift them up.
Speaker 1: You know, pity anyone who has no one to help them Purpose to be of help.
Speaker 1: Tonight.
Speaker 1: Become what God is looking for.
Speaker 1: The Bible says warm each other up.
Speaker 1: I know there are many families where the marital bed has become very cold and very distant.
Speaker 1: People are working on different dimensions.
Speaker 1: I pray healing tonight that by a divine intervention husbands and wives will come back together and they will forgive each other.
Speaker 1: Actually, the main thing in those kinds of situations is humility.
Speaker 1: Whoever God will give wisdom tonight, just kneel down and ask God's forgiveness.
Speaker 1: Ask God to change your spouse and to make them you are the one who shows them in blood day right.
Speaker 1: So there's something good in them.
Speaker 1: Ask God to rekindle the good that is in them and make them whole.
Speaker 1: Don't be distant from each other because you are giving room to the enemy.
Speaker 1: Then the Bible says if you are one, you can be overpowered, but two can defend themselves and a code of free strides is not broken.
Speaker 1: Invite God into a relationship tonight.
Speaker 1: Invite him into your office.
Speaker 1: Invite God into your 2024.
Speaker 1: Invite God into your finances today.
Speaker 1: Invite God into the area of your health.
Speaker 1: You know many, many sicknesses are there.
Speaker 1: Come against them tonight because God is for you and not against you.
Speaker 1: We declare that 2024 you are not going to be sick and you're not going to be in hospital and you're not going to be operated on, because God is able to go ahead and bring healing and wholeness.
Speaker 1: He's our help.
Speaker 1: Tonight the Bible says where does our help come from?
Speaker 1: Our help is in the name of the Lord.
Speaker 1: They make out the heavens and the earth.
Speaker 1: This God knows today, knows yesterday and has gone already ahead up to December.
Speaker 1: I want to declare that this year is your best year yet, because the power of God is working and you are growing in understanding and in praise and honor.

Speaker 1: You know, maybe someone here was about to be auctioned.
Speaker 1: We just want to send angels there, and there is provision.
Speaker 1: New ideas are coming how to get out of the tight situation.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, god is a solution provider.
Speaker 1: That's why we come to him, because he lifts us up from difficult situation and delivers us to provision and to abandon.
Speaker 1: David said, even when my enemies were there, God gave me a table and on that table there was abundance.
Speaker 1: May God give you abundance.
Speaker 1: Father, we don't look to the door and the shifting of the pound.
Speaker 1: No, we look to the heavens, where the streets are of gold, and we know that we are provided for and we are healed.
Speaker 1: So, father, the bitterness that has held us back, the things that have refused us to have a testimony, we come against them tonight and we leave them at the feet of the cross.
Speaker 1: We are working in newness of life.
Speaker 1: We are working knowing that God will give us victory.
Speaker 1: We are working saying he promised Joshua and he delivered.
Speaker 1: He promised Moses and he delivered.
Speaker 1: He was with Abraham.
Speaker 1: They called Abraham Isaac and he delivered for them.
Speaker 1: So why is he not delivering for you?
Speaker 1: We are changing our dimension today and our paradigm.
Speaker 1: We are saying God can do it.
Speaker 1: God has done it.
Speaker 1: God will do it for me.
Speaker 1: Position yourself so that whatever it is that has been hindering the move of God in your life, it will go away, so that God can now freely give you the grace to achieve that which is not a work of man.
Speaker 1: We are ordinary people, but we are serving an extraordinary God, so we purpose to experience extraordinary power.
Speaker 1: We cannot walk ordinary lives and succeed.
Speaker 1: We need to be lifted up in a new dimension.
Speaker 1: May the power of God now flow.
Speaker 1: Recently, we had the anointing service here.
Speaker 1: It was to lift you up so that you don't deal with things that are wasting your time and energy.
Speaker 1: Come on now.
Speaker 1: Identify that which is crucial in your life and purpose to be an instrument that we honor.
Speaker 1: God.
Speaker 1: Father, we thank you for everyone who came tonight.
Speaker 1: We release them to prosper.
Speaker 1: We release you to walk in triumph.
Speaker 1: We release you to walk in the anointing of God.
Speaker 1: The Bible says my God always reads me in triumph or possession.
Speaker 1: He has got an anointing on you that helps you to break every yoke of the enemy.
Speaker 1: So this year we refuse to talk about the economy and the politics.
Speaker 1: When God is speaking about healing the nation in 2nd Chronicles, chapter 7, verse 14, he doesn't talk about politics.
Speaker 1: He says if my people will pray, will humble themselves, will seek me, will turn from their wickedness, then we lie here from heaven and I'm going to heal their land.
Speaker 1: We ask for healing of this land.
Speaker 1: We ask for jobs for young people who finish school and they are ready.
Speaker 1: We ask for young men to rise in boldness and make these proposals, want to do these weddings and want to see families formed.
Speaker 1: We refuse to walk in fear.
Speaker 1: Fear is not of God.
Speaker 1: Father, we thank you because your presence is here and you are speaking into our spirit, a witness that this is a truth.
Speaker 1: We want to walk in your truth and in your anointing.
Speaker 1: Maharia, we come against him.
Speaker 1: The Bible says when the Lord rises up Psalm 16, verse 1, the enemy does not even wait.
Speaker 1: The enemy's cutters.
Speaker 1: May your enemies be scattered in seven different directions tonight the enemies of your family, the enemies of your progress, the enemies of your health, the enemies of your promotion.
Speaker 1: Whatever it is that God wants to do in your life, we ask double favor and double portion tonight, every enemy scattered.
Speaker 1: May you find it easy to do that which was difficult before.
Speaker 1: The anointing of God is upon you tonight to give you understanding and to give you breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Allow me to do benediction from Acts, chapter 19.
Speaker 1: There is something very beautiful in that passage of scripture and tonight we don't have time so to make you and then I know that the Holy Spirit will bring you conviction and you'll continue in your space, to continue to ask God to grant you victory and grant you favor.
Speaker 1: We are saying tonight God is for you and not against you, and God has been waiting for you to come so that together you work in triumph and you succeed in the things you are doing.
Speaker 1: Acts, chapter 19, verse 11,.
Speaker 1: The Bible says God did.
Speaker 1: Let me have that on the board so we can read it together as part of our benediction God did extra.
Speaker 1: Hey, god is doing extraordinary things in my life.
Speaker 1: I had not seen them before.
Speaker 1: Now I see them, remember, mind them, are more ordinary but extraordinary things are happening.
Speaker 1: Because of the power of God in your life Verse 20,.
Speaker 1: Let's jump to verse 20, because of the extraordinary things that happened.
Speaker 1: Verse 20 happened, acts 19, 20.
Speaker 1: In this way, the word of the Lord is spread wide, ray and grew in power.
Speaker 1: Take a moment and ask God to help the word to grow in you widely and powerfully.
Speaker 1: Grow in, watch, grow in power.
Speaker 1: Some versions say, and the word grew might.
Speaker 1: Today, let there be a mighty move in your life.
Speaker 1: Move to the next dimension.
Speaker 1: God has been waiting for you to grow up.
Speaker 1: We want to move to things that are solid.
Speaker 1: We want to move from infant things into mature things.
Speaker 1: We want to speak into situations and see those situations obey to the glory of God's name.
Speaker 1: Father, we thank you for allowing us tonight to release your word concerning relationships, concerning the spoken word, concerning kingdom authority, and this standard we have raised is a standard the enemy cannot cope with.
Speaker 1: It's a standard that confuses every enemy power.
Speaker 1: We declare in 2024, we are walking in your anointing.
Speaker 1: Extraordinary things are happening.
Speaker 1: We are speaking to sick people and their recovery.
Speaker 1: We are speaking to situations that are in debt and they are going into overflow.
Speaker 1: We are speaking to businesses that are failing and they are becoming successful.
Speaker 1: The Bible has given us a mandate to prosper and to come over things and to rule over them, and so we release you today so that every good thing will happen in your life.
Speaker 1: And indeed, as we read in Psalms 84, grow from strength to strength till one day you appear before God in Zion, and may you not lack any good thing as you walk up plaitre.
Speaker 1: Indeed, may the word grow, might reign new and prevail in every situation.
Speaker 1: This prayer and blessing we release in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and, as God's people said, a big handcraft to the Lord Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Tell someone near you I'm working in anointing, I'm working in favor, I'm working in extraordinary grace and I'm succeeding where others have failed.
Speaker 1: Yes, and God is my partner in this work of life.
Speaker 1: Father, we thank you as people go home tonight.
