Speaker 1: We are reading from Habakkuk, chapter 2, verse 1 to 4.
Speaker 1: I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts.
Speaker 1: I will look to see what he will say to me and what answer I am to give to this complaint.
Speaker 1: Then the Lord replied write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that our herald may run with it, for the revelation awaits an appointed time.
Speaker 1: It speaks of the end and will not prove false, though it linger.
Speaker 1: Wait for it.
Speaker 1: It will suddenly come and will not delay.
Speaker 1: See, the enemy is puffed up, his desires are not upright, but the righteous person will live by his faithfulness.
Speaker 1: Write the vision down that those who read it may run with it.
Speaker 1: This is the word of the Lord, and gossip was said we should be seated at this time, those watching us all over.
Speaker 1: God bless you, father.
Speaker 1: We thank you.
Speaker 1: So many of us are gathered to hear this theme, those online, those in these premises, those at Eastgate, westgate.
Speaker 1: We want to say thank you and our Holy Spirit as we introduce this thing.
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, lead us.
Speaker 1: This is a spirit-led season.
Speaker 1: Lead us, lead us even in this sanctuary.
Speaker 1: We take authority over any distraction from the enemy.
Speaker 1: We now ask that the attention of the Holy Spirit will be given to each one of us.
Speaker 1: All glory goes back to you and we say all these things in Jesus' name and God's people say Amen.
Speaker 1: Today is really an introduction of the theme, and themes are prophetic and right now, many churches are giving prophetic words all over.
Speaker 1: The funny thing sometimes is that most of the prophetic words they're giving are about disaster.
Speaker 1: Hello, oh, this is going to happen, this is going to happen.
Speaker 1: But this prophetic word which is written in here is about a good God, is about a God of purpose, a God of plan, a God who says I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, and so it is a good season.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about three areas Praise the Lord, and so it is a good season.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about three areas as I introduce this thing.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the what of vision, the why of vision, the how of vision, the what of vision, the why of vision, the what of vision, the why of vision, the how of vision.
Speaker 1: The vision, like we have just talked about, is it is the year of the Lord's, the Lord's Uncommon.
Speaker 1: Now I want you to underline that Uncommon, uncommon.
Speaker 1: I also want you to underline the word spirit-led, because this is the year of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: We are not going to try to lead ourselves, we are going to let the Holy Spirit lead and we will follow.
Speaker 1: It's the year of impartation.
Speaker 1: God loves to give things, god loves to give things, god loves to impart things, and God wants to give us good things.
Speaker 1: The Bible says every good gift comes from above.
Speaker 1: Every good gift, and for you to be alive today, for Pastor Ambrose to be alive today, for your neighbor to be alive today, that's a good gift.
Speaker 1: You may be sitting next to your enemy, but that is a good gift, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: It's a good gift because you can pray for them.
Speaker 1: This is a good year for the nation, and so the Holy Spirit will lead us.
Speaker 1: We'll not try to figure things ourselves.
Speaker 1: The Spirit will lead us, the Spirit will guide us, and so when we talk about the word of vision, god wants us to have a vision.
Speaker 1: The Bible says my people perish for lack of vision.
Speaker 1: We need to see, see, see, see.
Speaker 1: And it is the Holy Spirit who enables us to see.
Speaker 1: He opens our eyes.
Speaker 1: Let me read that verse which was said in the clip 1 Corinthians 2, verse 9 and 10.
Speaker 1: We know this verse very well.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this, however, as Corinthians, chapter 2, verse 9 and 10.
Speaker 1: We know this verse very well.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this, however, as it is written what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard and what no human mind has conceived, the things God has done, what has prepared, the things God already has prepared, god has prepared.
Speaker 1: I'm saying God has prepared.
Speaker 1: Before you arrived for this service, by yesterday, this place was being prepared for you.
Speaker 1: The decoration was being put together, they knew you were coming, systems were being put together, prepared so that you could be comfortable in this sitting.
Speaker 1: Somebody took time to prepare.
Speaker 1: God has prepared for you the things God has prepared for those who love him.
Speaker 1: These are the things God has revealed to us by his spirit, the spirit such as all things, even the deep things of God.
Speaker 1: God has some things prepared for you and they are uncommon things.
Speaker 1: Now, sometimes you wonder what do we mean by uncommon?
Speaker 1: In this book I've written some things about what it means to be uncommon.
Speaker 1: What are some of these uncommon things?
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor uncommon Hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Let me just get that page and just let you know a little bit about these uncommon things that God is revealing to us.
Speaker 1: Uncommon means unusual.
Speaker 1: There are unusual things coming your way Rare.
Speaker 1: Uncommon means rare.
Speaker 1: Tell your way Rare.
Speaker 1: And common means rare.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor rare.
Speaker 1: You see, potatoes are common.
Speaker 1: That's why they are found near the surface of the earth.
Speaker 1: They are common and that is why chips is affordable, hallelujah, Because it is common.
Speaker 1: Diamonds are rare.
Speaker 1: They are not found on the surface of the earth.
Speaker 1: They are expensive To put them together, to cut them.
Speaker 1: They are just rare.
Speaker 1: And I'm talking to somebody and I'm saying this is your year of being rare, stop being common.
Speaker 1: I'm saying stop being common and stop working with people who are common.
Speaker 1: Thank you, jesus.
Speaker 1: There are some people who have wasted all your time.
Speaker 1: In 2024 we are saying 2025 you are going to make yourself rare because you are rare in Jesus name.
Speaker 1: You are not a potato.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor you are not a potato.
Speaker 1: Another word for uncommon is exceptional.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor I am exceptional.
Speaker 1: Another word is extraordinary.
Speaker 1: Another word is noteworthy.
Speaker 1: Another word is remarkable.
Speaker 1: Another word is strange in a positive way.
Speaker 1: So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor I'm strange In a positive way.
Speaker 1: In a positive way.
Speaker 1: Another word is unique, buenas fiuwe.
Speaker 1: There's nobody like you.
Speaker 1: You're so unique.
Speaker 1: In biology, we are told, when a man releases sperm, there are thousands and millions of them running towards a woman's egg.
Speaker 1: And all these sperms in millions are racing to make sure that one of them gets there, and only one gets there and is the one that touches that egg.
Speaker 1: And that's how you are formed.
Speaker 1: You struggled before you showed up.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor you're unique.
Speaker 1: That's why you're here.
Speaker 1: You're a champion.
Speaker 1: Before you were even conceived, you really tried.
Speaker 1: No wonder you are unique.
Speaker 1: We are looking at you today.
Speaker 1: You won your race a long time ago.
Speaker 1: So you're not common in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: You are rare.
Speaker 1: You're original.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor I'm original.
Speaker 1: Please don't copy anybody else.
Speaker 1: Don't be a copy.
Speaker 1: You are an original in Jesus name.
Speaker 1: We cannot replace you.
Speaker 1: Even twins are very original.
Speaker 1: Triplets are very original.
Speaker 1: Another word is unfamiliar, and then I like this one unprecedented.
Speaker 1: God is going to do unprecedented things.
Speaker 1: Very original.
Speaker 1: Another word is unfamiliar, and then I like this one Unprecedented.
Speaker 1: God is going to do unprecedented things In the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: This is what we are talking about Uncommon, and only God's spirit can make it happen.
Speaker 1: This is that season that God wants to shift the circumstances in life.
Speaker 1: Every year when we turn a page, something new happens.
Speaker 1: The Bible says forget the former things, do not dwell on the past.
Speaker 1: Behold, I'm doing a new thing.
Speaker 1: Do you not perceive it, do you not understand it?
Speaker 1: And so this year, we are not just entering this year casually.
Speaker 1: We're entering this year with purpose, with conviction, with a desire to capture everything that God has for us.
Speaker 1: Buona si fie.
Speaker 1: This year we are talking about five, number five, because the alphabet A, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, that's the English alphabet, but the Hebrew alphabet is Aleph, beth, gimel Dalet.
Speaker 1: Aleph is the first letter.
Speaker 1: It means God's strength.
Speaker 1: Beth means a house.
Speaker 1: God is our house, god is our cover.
Speaker 1: Gimel means the ability to go long distances like a camel.
Speaker 1: Dalet, which we dealt with last year, is a door, the open door, and this year, which is the next letter, it is Aleph, beth, gimel Dalet.
Speaker 1: Number five is hey.
Speaker 1: It is spelled H-E-I, hey.
Speaker 1: So look at your neighbor and just say hey.
Speaker 1: Please don't spit on them.
Speaker 1: I just said tell them hey, hallelujah, hallelujah, hey, pastor Simon.
Speaker 1: Hey is a very important word Because it's a word where you exhale, you inhale and exhale Exhale.
Speaker 1: You say hey.
Speaker 1: If you breathe in, and you do, that's breathing in.
Speaker 1: But when you exhale, hey, god breathed out, god unveiled, he released life.
Speaker 1: So that hey means a release of life, an impartation of something that is of God.
Speaker 1: Are you not hearing this Abraham?
Speaker 1: Before he was Abraham, he was called Abram.
Speaker 1: So let me read that in Genesis 17.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this Abraham had already had many experiences with God.
Speaker 1: Chapter 12, he had a good experience with God when he was called from his home country.
Speaker 1: Chapter 13, he had a good experience with God when he was called from his home country.
Speaker 1: Chapter 13, he was in Egypt.
Speaker 1: Chapter 14, he had a number of challenges.
Speaker 1: Chapter 15, he asked God to help him because he did not have a child.
Speaker 1: Chapter 16, he decided to have his own plan.
Speaker 1: Hello.
Speaker 1: But chapter 17, god comes in and says this.
Speaker 1: I want to read from verse 1.
Speaker 1: 17.1.
Speaker 1: When Abram now you see he's called Abram when Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to him and said I am God Almighty.
Speaker 1: Walk before me faithfully and be blameless, then I will make my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.
Speaker 1: Abraham fell face down and God said to him.
Speaker 1: As for me, this is my covenant with you you will be the father of many nations.
Speaker 1: Now, abraham did not ask to become a father of many nations.
Speaker 1: God himself decided I will make you a father of many nations.
Speaker 1: No longer will you be called Abraham.
Speaker 1: Your name will be what?
Speaker 1: Abraham.
Speaker 1: So something was added in that name.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can see it Abraham and Abraham.
Speaker 1: What was added?
Speaker 1: The ha, that is the hey.
Speaker 1: It is the hey Word word that God spoke into Abraham.
Speaker 1: Abraham was nothing, but when God says ha, abraham became something.
Speaker 1: Maybe you walked into this year with nothing.
Speaker 1: God is saying hey, this year is going to come out, something special is coming out.
Speaker 1: Sarai was Sarai for a long time and God says hey, and she became a mother of many nations.
Speaker 1: That word hey is very important.
Speaker 1: It talks about life, a release of grace, a release of favor.
Speaker 1: This is our season, this is your season, and I want to say this you may sound foolish or something crazy may be happening to you, but let me tell you this For the ladies If your handbag has no money, all you need to do is open that handbag and say, hey, I'm telling you, things are going to change Hallelujah For men.
Speaker 1: If you have a wallet and all you have are cards, not, not, not, not credit cards, just cards.
Speaker 1: All you need is to say what?
Speaker 1: Hey?
Speaker 1: And you're not saved by faith, because God loves to speak.
Speaker 1: He said let there be light, and there was light.
Speaker 1: Hey, pastor Simon.
Speaker 1: The word hallelujah, hallel, hallel, luya, hallel means to praise Jehovah.
Speaker 1: So hallel is a release of praise and of thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: And I want to tell you this this is your season, this is the hey season, this is aha season.
Speaker 1: Ha ha ha.
Speaker 1: I want you to speak to the situation.
Speaker 1: If you meet a son of yours, don't keep saying your head is full of water.
Speaker 1: Kichwa yoke, meja Maji, kichwa yoke, meja, kichwa yoke, meja Maji.
Speaker 1: Now, this time, look at that child.
Speaker 1: Though the child may be disturbing, you just say hey and say it by faith.
Speaker 1: You know you can just say hey and it will only be a hey for you, but by faith, by revelation, something will shift, something will change, something uncommon will begin to happen.
Speaker 1: And for Abraham, god did that.
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 1: Because God had a purpose.
Speaker 1: You see, team visions are given for purpose.
Speaker 1: The Bible says write the vision down that those who read it may run with it, for the vision is for an appointed time.
Speaker 1: Though it tarry, wait for it, for it shall surely come to pass, and that's why we're releasing it today.
Speaker 1: Number five is very important.
Speaker 1: Five, actually, today.
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 1: What day is?
Speaker 1: Today is the 5th of 25?
Speaker 1: When I started is today, it's the 5th of 25.
Speaker 1: When I started writing the theme, it was the 5th of August and I wrote it until I finished.
Speaker 1: On the 25th of September 26th, I was admitted in hospital.
Speaker 1: In other words, god is trying to say something to us.
Speaker 1: There is a message that God wants to say to us, and the devil tried to steal it away.
Speaker 1: But mungu ni nane, mungu ni nane.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, hallelujah, mungu ni nani.
Speaker 1: Mungu ni nani, hallelujah, mungu ni nani.
Speaker 1: And there are things that God tried to steal from you last year, and I want to tell you this.
Speaker 1: God is coming today and saying hey, let my child go.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: Somebody better give God a big hand and tell him thank you.
Speaker 1: Number five Number of grace.
Speaker 1: I was discharged from hospital On the 15th of November.
Speaker 1: I came here and gave a testimony, and then I preached on the 15th of December, and today I'm preaching on the 5th of January.
Speaker 1: Somebody better give God a big hand and tell him thank you.
Speaker 1: God has a purpose.
Speaker 1: His agenda has not changed.
Speaker 1: God's agenda is to make a people for himself on this earth.
Speaker 1: God's agenda is a kingdom agenda.
Speaker 1: There are still many people who do not know Jesus Christ and God is saying you are my instrument that I'm going to use to bring men and women to their purpose, to what I call them for.
Speaker 1: God is calling this nation and saying may I bring you to your purpose and this is our season.
Speaker 1: Pastor Simon talks about the young people of Africa and we are saying God is calling you to your purpose, this is your season, this is your time, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: So look at your neighbor who ignored you earlier and tell them this is my season, I have a purpose and it is a kingdom purpose.
Speaker 1: God is good.
Speaker 1: Abraham had a purpose.
Speaker 1: God told him leave your country and I will make you great and I will bless you and I will make your descendants great.
Speaker 1: Those are purpose.
Speaker 1: God never brought you into this world to suffer, to struggle and to die.
Speaker 1: God brought you into this world that you may shine for him.
Speaker 1: The Bible says arise and shine, for your light has come, but some of us are sitting on our light.
Speaker 1: Hello, can you imagine having a torch?
Speaker 1: And it is fully on, but it is in your handbag.
Speaker 1: You are in darkness and you have a torch that is lit.
Speaker 1: We are saying you are the light of the world.
Speaker 1: Let your light shine before men that they may see you, they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
Speaker 1: We keep saying Kenya is 80% Christian, but nobody sees that light.
Speaker 1: Nobody sees that light.
Speaker 1: We are afraid of our light.
Speaker 1: We are hiding our light.
Speaker 1: Just shine, just shine, be you.
Speaker 1: Some of us are afraid to be you, some of us are afraid to be you.
Speaker 1: But today I want to tell you this, because God said Abraham, I will bless you.
Speaker 1: God was going to make Abraham very unique.
Speaker 1: I want to declare to you this year you are going to become rare.
Speaker 1: Let me say it one more time.
Speaker 1: This year you are going to become rare.
Speaker 1: Let me say it one more time this year you're going to become rare.
Speaker 1: This year you're going to become uncommon.
Speaker 1: This year you're going to become extraordinary.
Speaker 1: This year you're going to become remarkable.
Speaker 1: This year you're going to become original.
Speaker 1: This year you're going to become unique.
Speaker 1: This year you're going to become you.
Speaker 1: But let me talk about the why of vision.
Speaker 1: The why of vision.
Speaker 1: God has a plan.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, god has a plan.
Speaker 1: You see, during creation, when there was darkness in the earth, god had a plan.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, god has a plan.
Speaker 1: You see, during creation, when there was darkness in the earth, god had a plan.
Speaker 1: So let me read Genesis, chapter 1, verse 1.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this At that time, in the beginning, god created the heavens and the earth.
Speaker 1: Now the earth was formless and empty.
Speaker 1: Darkness over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
Speaker 1: Though there was darkness, formlessness, purposelessness, the Spirit of God hovered upon the waters.
Speaker 1: Right now, some of your plans are formless, empty.
Speaker 1: Nothing is happening.
Speaker 1: But guess what?
Speaker 1: It's a spirit led here.
Speaker 1: That spirit is hovering over your situation.
Speaker 1: Let me read this in the amplified version the word hovering, hovering.
Speaker 1: You know, kawaida, when we are talking about hovering, you know, sometimes, when you're talking to somebody in a group, you're just talking some things and then some guys are hovering.
Speaker 1: They're just hovering around what.
Speaker 1: They're not part of your conversation and they're not planning to add anything to it.
Speaker 1: They're doing what Hovering.
Speaker 1: That's not the hovering I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: The Bible says the earth was formless and void, or a waste, and emptiness and darkness was upon the face of the deep Promeval ocean that covered the unformed earth.
Speaker 1: The Bible says the Spirit of God was moving, hovering and doing what?
Speaker 1: Brooding, what usually broods in our environment Chickens, the ones you ate on Christmas.
Speaker 1: They brood, they sit on eggs and something happens to those eggs.
Speaker 1: Eggs that had white and yellow inside suddenly become chicks.
Speaker 1: They become alive A chicken.
Speaker 1: You don't know that science.
Speaker 1: We don't know that science.
Speaker 1: It is the science of God that a chicken can brood on eggs and eggs can come alive.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this the Holy Spirit this year will be brooding over your situation and circumstances.
Speaker 1: We don't know the science, but what is formless will come alive.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, we'll come alive.
Speaker 1: What is nothing will turn around.
Speaker 1: In Jesus name, I'm telling you right now this seems there's no way, there's no breakthrough, but there's a time that God says now I'll make things happen.
Speaker 1: The Bible says that during the flood, there was a big flood during the time of Noah, 40 days and 40 nights, and then it was nearly a year before the waters came down.
Speaker 1: But then there was a time that God says something has to change Genesis 8, 6.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this as the waters were going down and the ark had reached Mount Ararat, the Bible says after 40 days, noah opened the window he had made in the ark.
Speaker 1: After 40 days, after December 31st, in the ark, after 40 days After December 31st, a window was open.
Speaker 1: A window was open.
Speaker 1: Noah opened the window and sent out a raven and he kept flying back and forth until the water dried up from the earth.
Speaker 1: Then he sent out a dove and I want you to watch that word dove, that's the spirit of God Sent the dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground.
Speaker 1: But the dove could not find nowhere to patch because there was water over all the surface of the earth.
Speaker 1: So it returned to Noah in the ark.
Speaker 1: He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark.
Speaker 1: He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.
Speaker 1: When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf, then no one knew that the water had receded from the earth.
Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is about to do something fresh in your life.
Speaker 1: I'm saying the Holy Spirit is about to do something fresh in your life.
Speaker 1: I'm saying the Holy Spirit is about to do something fresh in your life, buenas, if you were, let me say that one more time.
Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is about to do something fresh in your life.
Speaker 1: It's a new season, it's a new release of His Spirit, it's a new promise In that chapter, verse 22,.
Speaker 1: Listen to what God said, chapter 22,.
Speaker 1: Verse 22 says this as long as the earth endures seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night Will never cease.
Speaker 1: God is about to do something new In your life.
Speaker 1: God has a plan and even though sometimes our plans go haywire, god comes through.
Speaker 1: Last year we went to Ireland.
Speaker 1: Our brother, ambassador Mubea, his daughter was getting married, and so we pangued ourselves.
Speaker 1: Martha and I pangued.
Speaker 1: I mean, we pangued to go to Ireland.
Speaker 1: We got our visa and we knew the best way to go to Ireland is to go to London.
Speaker 1: And then to Ireland.
Speaker 1: We got our visa and we knew the best way to go to Ireland is to go to London and then to Dublin.
Speaker 1: It was a direct flight London Dublin.
Speaker 1: So we chose to go with BA, british Air, and indeed we pancarded ourselves and we went Business class.
Speaker 1: Now tell your neighbor, don't be envious, I'm just saying, I'm just making a statement.
Speaker 1: Okay, went business.
Speaker 1: And so we reached Kanyata International Airport and we checked in, checked in, we checked in, we said goodbye to our family and we went.
Speaker 1: We checked in, our bags were checked in, then we went in and we went to the lounge.
Speaker 1: So we sat at the lounge Midnight Enjoying ourselves and then we knew it was about 10.
Speaker 1: This minute we went and we gave our boarding pass.
Speaker 1: Something strange happened right there.
Speaker 1: That lady asked us where is your transit visa?
Speaker 1: We now started wondering what visa?
Speaker 1: What visa were we supposed to get?
Speaker 1: What transit?
Speaker 1: We are just at the airport in London and then we go to Dublin.
Speaker 1: They said, no, you need a transit visa.
Speaker 1: We looked at each other.
Speaker 1: We knew our plans are going haywire.
Speaker 1: Have you ever felt helpless and then ask yourself why did we say bye to our family?
Speaker 1: Because the next thing is that they will see you back at home.
Speaker 1: You know, those are moments you panic.
Speaker 1: But we just said, lord, this is in your hands.
Speaker 1: So our travel agent said okay, we are going to try and see if we can get another plane.
Speaker 1: They tried to get Emirates, then they tried to get Qatar and they could not get.
Speaker 1: But they said don't worry, we are going to give you a place to stay at Sheraton Hotel just here at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Speaker 1: Our bags had already been taken.
Speaker 1: So we went to Sheraton and a nice place, and then we had to call home because we had no clothes.
Speaker 1: So when they received our call, they thought we had arrived.
Speaker 1: We said we are still at Jumbo Kenyatta International Airport.
Speaker 1: We have not left.
Speaker 1: They said look, what happened.
Speaker 1: I said this is what happened.
Speaker 1: So the next day our travel agent was able to get a breakthrough and she was able to get a breakthrough and she was able to put us on Turkish airline.
Speaker 1: So we traveled from Jammu, kenya, to.
Speaker 1: By the way, we struggled, by the way, we ended up getting our bags later that day.
Speaker 1: But we went from Jammu, kenya, we went to Istanbul and later we went to Dublin and we had that wedding.
Speaker 1: Then we went to the?
Speaker 1: U, we had that wedding.
Speaker 1: Then we went to the US and you know the story.
Speaker 1: We stayed there and came back.
Speaker 1: We came back I'm saying we came back to Nairobi and then you know the challenges that we went through, the challenge I had, and all that.
Speaker 1: So December 15th, when I was giving my testimony challenges that we went through, the challenge I had, and all that.
Speaker 1: So December 15th, when I was giving my testimony, somebody from the Turkish Airlines, a representative of Turkish Airlines, came said I want to see Pastor Ambrose.
Speaker 1: I'm a representative from Turkish Airlines.
Speaker 1: We are just very excited that he traveled with us and we have a complimentary for him and his wife to travel to Turkey, istanbul, to go and tour the seven churches of the book of Revelation.
Speaker 1: And the tickets, the tickets, the tickets Business class, business class.
Speaker 1: You know, when the devil was giving us a hard time and taking away our boarding passes and we were feeling frustrated, and we were feeling frustrated and we were feeling what is going to happen and he was about to dismantle our plans, god was walking behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: God was walking behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: And, by the way, just for your information, that ticket is not to be passed to anybody else.
Speaker 1: Thank you, jesus.
Speaker 1: Just for your information, do not come after the meeting and say I want an uncommon gift.
Speaker 1: There is no uncommon gift here.
Speaker 1: And, pastor Simon, it was also a blessing because we've been talking about the open door, the Church of Philadelphia, and they said this ticket is open from now until December 2025.
Speaker 1: Anytime you need to go, go.
Speaker 1: And then my wife told me see you in there during Valentine.
Speaker 1: You know, women sometimes do not think spiritually.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of the church of Philadelphia, she's thinking about Valentine.
Speaker 1: You know some things, but those are ladies for you.
Speaker 1: Let's appreciate the ladies in the house.
Speaker 1: Thank God for them.
Speaker 1: So tell your neighbor.
Speaker 1: Neighbor, god has a plan, you see, and when the devil is trying to thwart those plans, when the devil is trying to change those plans behind the scenes, god is doing something.
Speaker 1: He says forget the former things, do not dwell on the past.
Speaker 1: Behold, I am doing a new thing.
Speaker 1: Do you not perceive it?
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this Something is about to happen in your life.
Speaker 1: Come on, let's give God a big hand.
Speaker 1: But thirdly, I want to talk about the how of vision.
Speaker 1: Where do you connect with this vision?
Speaker 1: God wants us to do something.
Speaker 1: God wants you to give yourself permission to make things happen.
Speaker 1: How do you do that?
Speaker 1: Give yourself permission to be aware of what God is saying.
Speaker 1: I want to appeal to you Get a copy of the theme vision.
Speaker 1: There are so many things we're going to talk about.
Speaker 1: We're going to unpack it this month and just unpack it Today.
Speaker 1: I'm introducing it, but I'm telling you there are so many things that God has said and he wants us to know.
Speaker 1: Make yourself aware.
Speaker 1: Give yourself permission to know what God is saying.
Speaker 1: Give yourself permission for faith.
Speaker 1: Get an opportunity to believe, believe.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we walk with this thing in the head.
Speaker 1: I hope God does something this year.
Speaker 1: Don't hope.
Speaker 1: Believe he will do something.
Speaker 1: The Bible says to those who received him, who believed in his name he gave them the power to become.
Speaker 1: It is believers who become Hopers.
Speaker 1: Keep hoping, believe.
Speaker 1: Believe, but give yourself permission to expect.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor expectation.
Speaker 1: Tell the next neighbor expectation.
Speaker 1: God is not going to believe for you.
Speaker 1: God wants you to see.
Speaker 1: Let me read this word Jeremiah, chapter 1.
Speaker 1: , verse 11 and 12.
Speaker 1: Do something.
Speaker 1: The word of the Lord came to me and God says what do you see?
Speaker 1: What do you see, jeremiah?
Speaker 1: And Jeremiah said I see a branch, the branch of an almond tree.
Speaker 1: He replied and the Lord said to me you have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.
Speaker 1: When you see it, god will make it happen.
Speaker 1: I'm saying when you see it, god will make it happen.
Speaker 1: What do you see?
Speaker 1: God is watching over his word to make it happen.
Speaker 1: But do you see it?
Speaker 1: Many years back, with Abraham, god said this to Abraham Genesis 13, 14.
Speaker 1: Abraham had just left by Lot.
Speaker 1: Then God comes to Abraham and says this the Lord said to Abraham, after Lot had parted from him look around, from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west, all the land that you do, what you see, you see, you see I will give to you and your offspring forever.
Speaker 1: What are you seeing?
Speaker 1: When you see it and tell God this is what I see, god says I'll watch over my word to make it happen.
Speaker 1: Are you seeing your house finished?
Speaker 1: See it.
Speaker 1: Are you seeing that promotion?
Speaker 1: See it.
Speaker 1: Are you seeing that prosperity?
Speaker 1: See it.
Speaker 1: Are you seeing that breakthrough?
Speaker 1: See it.
Speaker 1: I knew you were saying, but I've been seeing and I'm seeing nothing.
Speaker 1: One of these things say, lord, I've been seeing and I'm seeing nothing.
Speaker 1: One of these things say, lord, I'm not seeing anything, but open my eyes that I may do what I may see.
Speaker 1: I may see my potential.
Speaker 1: The potential you have is amazing.
Speaker 1: The potential your children have is amazing.
Speaker 1: Decree it and declare it from them and say I see this and speak it out Lord, I see my son going places.
Speaker 1: I see my daughter, her princess.
Speaker 1: But many times this is what some parents said, this is what some of our parents used to say to the ladies, to the girls.
Speaker 1: Some of our parents used to say To the ladies, to the girls the way you are running around here, if you become a prostitute, I will not be surprised and for sure they usually never get surprised Because that lady becomes A prostitute Because the father said it.
Speaker 1: But God is saying a new thing, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Do you see it?
Speaker 1: Are you aware?
Speaker 1: Are you giving yourself knowledge, information, new ideas, new thoughts?
Speaker 1: What are you expecting God to do?
Speaker 1: Pastor Simon, there was a missionary who went to India a long time ago called Stanley Jones.
Speaker 1: Stanley Jones served in India for quite a time.
Speaker 1: He's an American missionary, served there for many years, when he was 69, he had a stroke and it was a very bad stroke and he was taken to India, back to America, and was in hospital and they were treating him and he believed that one day he'd go back to America and was in hospital and they were treating him and he believed that one day he'd go back to India because he had seen God do miracles in India.
Speaker 1: And he began to believe and to see himself going back to India.
Speaker 1: But the doctor said you're not coming out of this place.
Speaker 1: This is your missionary days are finished.
Speaker 1: Then something came upon the missionary and this is what instructed the doctors Every time you come to my word, please don't greet me and say Mr Jones, good morning.
Speaker 1: He says don't come to me in the morning.
Speaker 1: He says good morning, mr John's.
Speaker 1: He told them.
Speaker 1: Don't come in the evening and say good evening, mr John's.
Speaker 1: He says don't use those words again.
Speaker 1: He says every time you come to my ward, say this Mr John's, stand up in the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: And they said we cannot say that.
Speaker 1: Mr Jones, stand up in the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: And they said we cannot say that.
Speaker 1: He said you are going to say that If you don't say that I'm going to another hospital.
Speaker 1: And so they were forced.
Speaker 1: Every day they enter.
Speaker 1: They say Mr Jones, in the name of Jesus Christ, rise up In the evening.
Speaker 1: Mr Jones, in the name of Jesus Christ, rise up In the evening.
Speaker 1: Mr Jones, in the name of Jesus Christ, rise up.
Speaker 1: They said this to him.
Speaker 1: They said this to him, and I want you to know how a chicken broods on eggs and they get chicks.
Speaker 1: Those words brooded and brooded upon this gentleman, pastor Simon.
Speaker 1: That guy walked out of that hospital healed from the top of his head to the tips of his toes.
Speaker 1: Stanley Jones went back to India and served as a missionary for the next 20 years.
Speaker 1: He died at 89.
Speaker 1: 20 years, he died at 89.
Speaker 1: This is the God you must give permission.
Speaker 1: Give him permission to make a difference in your life.
Speaker 1: Be aware, believe, have faith and expect the uncommon.
Speaker 1: You carry treasure.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor you're carrying treasure.
Speaker 1: Let me finish with this scripture, because God is saying we need to stretch.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor stretch, stretch your faith, stretch your hand, stretch, do something.
Speaker 1: And so our planner here is talking about stretch.
Speaker 1: We'll be unpacking it as days come.
Speaker 1: But let me read Isaiah 54 in the Message Bible Earlier, I read it in the New King James.
Speaker 1: Let me read it in the Message Bible.
Speaker 1: It says this.
Speaker 1: Let me read it in a message Bible.
Speaker 1: It says this Sing barren woman who has never had a baby, fill the air with song.
Speaker 1: You who have never experienced childbirth, you're ending up with far more children, go back.
Speaker 1: You're ending up with far more children this is a statement of faith Than all those childbearing women.
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 1: Because God says so.
Speaker 1: Then he says clear lots of ground for your tents.
Speaker 1: Make your tents large, spread out, think big.
Speaker 1: So look at your neighbor just briefly and tell them stop thinking small.
Speaker 1: Tell them, tiny thoughts take you to tiny places.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Think big.
Speaker 1: Make your tents large, spread out, think big, use your tents large, spread out, think big, use plenty of rope.
Speaker 1: Drive the tent pegs deep.
Speaker 1: You're going to need lots of elbow room.
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 1: For your growing family You're going to take over.
Speaker 1: How many nations, whole nations.
Speaker 1: You're going to resettle abandoned cities.
Speaker 1: Don't be afraid, you are not going to be embarrassed.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to somebody here and I'm saying you're not going to be embarrassed.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ, you are not going to be embarrassed.
Speaker 1: So tell your neighbor nobody's going to embarrass me this year, including myself.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, you're not going to come up short.
Speaker 1: You'll forget all about the humiliations of your youth.
Speaker 1: Praise God, you will forget and the indignities of being a widow will fade from memory.
Speaker 1: For your maker is your bridegroom.
Speaker 1: So tell your neighbor my maker is my bridegroom.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor I'm married.
Speaker 1: Tell the other neighbor who is not believing you, I am married.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
Speaker 1: To who?
Speaker 1: To the maker?
Speaker 1: His name, god of the angel, amen.
Speaker 1: Your redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, known as God of the whole earth.
Speaker 1: You are like an abandoned wife, devastated with grief, and God welcomed you back.
Speaker 1: Like a woman, married, young and then left, says your God, your Redeemer.
Speaker 1: God says I left you, but only for a moment.
Speaker 1: Now, with enormous compassion, I'm bringing you back, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: I'm bringing you back your neighbor.
Speaker 1: God can be romantic, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: So don't act strange.
Speaker 1: God wants to do something amazing in your life.
Speaker 1: Think big, open your mind, stretch it.
Speaker 1: Stretch it and God will fill that space for you.
Speaker 1: So I want to decree and declare one more time this year, god is going to do uncommon things, rare things, strange things, unprecedented things For you.
Speaker 1: Inside you there's treasure.
Speaker 1: I'm saying inside you there's treasure.
Speaker 1: Let it come out.
Speaker 1: The Bible says stir up the gift that is within you, stir it up, stir it up, stir it up, for God has not given you a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, and but a spirit of power In love, in a sound mind.
Speaker 1: That's what stir up, pastor Simon.
Speaker 1: It is that when you akisha those days and I know you used to be in the estates you go get a jiko outside, you put maka, then you put some things inside, then you akisha it and then the flame begins to come.
Speaker 1: Then you get a piece of paper or cardboard and it begins something that we call in Hebrew pepetary.
Speaker 1: So you pepetard this thing and as you pepetard, the wind came in and that thing took flame and the makar caught the fire and this thing was hot.
Speaker 1: God is telling us there's a spirit inside you that needs to be perpetuated.
Speaker 1: So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor I can see you need to be perpetuated.
Speaker 1: But tell them I'm going to perpetuate myself, I'm going to style myself up, I'm going to think big, I'm going to stir myself up.
Speaker 1: I'm going to think big, I'm going to believe big.
Speaker 1: This is my season, this is my time, and there's nothing the devil can do about it.
Speaker 1: Somebody better give God a big hand, and we want to say thank you, jesus.
Speaker 1: I'm excited.
Speaker 1: We are going to unpack this as the days go on, but let me say this, even as I prepare to pray this year give yourself permission to dream, give yourself permission to believe, give yourself permission to believe, give yourself permission to win, give yourself permission to succeed, give yourself permission to prosper, give yourself permission to excel and give yourself permission to serve.
Speaker 1: People are waiting for you to serve him, so serve, dream, believe, win.
Speaker 1: People are waiting for you to serve him, so serve, dream, believe, win, succeed, prosper, excel, serve.
Speaker 1: This is your time.
Speaker 1: Shall we stand on our feet.
Speaker 1: So what's the theme for this year?
Speaker 1: All I heard is wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, the ear of the Lord's uncommon, spirit-led impartation.
Speaker 1: In the Sundays that are going to come, we'll be talking more about impartation and we'll also be talking about what it means to be spirit-led.
Speaker 1: But today this was an introduction.
Speaker 1: Something new is happening in your life, something special is happening in your life, and for me to be standing before you is uncommon.
Speaker 1: I praise God for that.
Speaker 1: When I couldn't walk, I was wondering how will we get this theme out?
Speaker 1: But Mungu Ninani, mungu Ninani.
Speaker 1: So when you are in that dark pit, always say he's doing something behind the scenes and he's not going to use somebody else.
Speaker 1: He's going to use me, he's going to use you.
Speaker 1: Your days are not over.
Speaker 1: Your season is not over this.
Speaker 1: Your days are not over.
Speaker 1: Your season is not over.
Speaker 1: This is just a new one, and God likes to do new things every time.
Speaker 1: Forget the former things.
Speaker 1: Do not dwell on the past, even the successes of the past, because God is going to give you greater successes in 2025.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, hallelujah, god is going to give you greater successes in 2025.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, god is a planner, he's a God of purpose, he's a God of plan, and God wants you to give him permission to make a difference.
Speaker 1: So, as you walk out of that door those watching us online as this service is tuned out make a decision, because God has already made his decision.
Speaker 1: He has already said I have prepared this year for you.
Speaker 1: I have prepared breakthroughs for you.
Speaker 1: The devil doesn't even know some of the things God has prepared for you, so don't be bothered by what the devil is doing around you.
Speaker 1: Believe God, amen.
Speaker 1: Trust God.
Speaker 1: He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above what you ask or imagine.
Speaker 1: But you're saying but, ambrose, you should just know this year didn't even start well for me.
Speaker 1: Now, stop talking like that.
Speaker 1: Begin to say even though things do not work out, I know God will do something for me.
Speaker 1: Be positive, walk with positive people.
Speaker 1: Run away from negative people.
Speaker 1: We need people with constructive ideas.
Speaker 1: Stop walking with people who spend most of their time talking about people and things.
Speaker 1: Start working with people who have ideas, but you make sure that you have also ideas.
Speaker 1: Buenas, if you will, let's remember my daughter, our daughter Lisa, who has been with us from the US.
Speaker 1: She's about to go back to the US.
Speaker 1: And remember that testimony, john Hopkins.
Speaker 1: She's going back.
Speaker 1: She got her visa on Friday.
Speaker 1: She travels this week back.
Speaker 1: She was supposed to have come but she was not able to come.
Speaker 1: But she sent and said Daddy, make sure you just pray, and also we are praying for those who have traveled here, those who are traveling out, those who are also traveling out of the country.
Speaker 1: We want to remember you that the Lord will bless you big time, banas, if you will.
Speaker 1: So remember Lisa in your prayers.
Speaker 1: We thank God for a month with her.
Speaker 1: It has been a lovely time.
Speaker 1: God is a good God.
Speaker 1: So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor.
Speaker 1: I declare that this season, god will do amazing things for me.
Speaker 1: This season, what did not seem to be open Is now open.
Speaker 1: The breakthroughs are coming my way, the opportunities are coming my way.
Speaker 1: I'm going to think big, I'm going to extend my territory, I'm going to create space so that God can fill it.
Speaker 1: This is my season and if you don't believe it, I believe it and I know it will come to pass in the name of Jesus.
Speaker 1: If you believe that, you better say amen.
Speaker 1: So we are going to hear that trumpet one more time and we are going to give God a big shout and celebrate and say this is our new year.
Speaker 1: So, my brother, blow that shofar and let's give God a big shout and a big clap Come on, come on, come on somebody.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: So lift up your hands as I pray for us, father.
Speaker 1: We thank you, father.
Speaker 1: We pray for Lisa, who travels back to the US this coming week.
Speaker 1: We pray for many others who traveled to Kenya from the US and are here with us and traveling back, that those who came from our neighboring countries Uganda, tanzania, ethiopia and are among us some Tanzania, ethiopia and are among us, some of them from upcountry, and we want to bless them.
Speaker 1: Even as the schools open up and as they begin to engage their children some are still traveling we want to pray for journey masses.
Speaker 1: We want to pray amazing blessings that God none will lack.
Speaker 1: All they need will be given to them, because this is a year of the hay, where you release favor, where you release grace, where you release abundance.
Speaker 1: And, dear Father, this being the year of the Lord's uncommon, spirit-led impartition, may we decree that statement over and over again, because God is not a man that he should lie, he's not a son of man that he should change His mind.
Speaker 1: Has he said?
Speaker 1: Will he not do it?
Speaker 1: Has he spoken?
Speaker 1: Will he not fulfill it?
Speaker 1: So, god, we pray for this congregation those in the pavilion, in the tent, the youth tent, those at Eastgate, westgate, southgate.
Speaker 1: We commit those online, wherever they are in your hands.
Speaker 1: Bless them indeed, bless them indeed.
Speaker 1: May they read this vision and run with it, for this vision will surely come to pass.
Speaker 1: And, father, we now commit our nation to you and ran with it, For this vision will surely come to pass.
Speaker 1: And, father, we now commit our nation to you that our nation will also come under this vision.
Speaker 1: That, lord, you shall release an impartation over this nation that is uncommon, that is unusual, that is unprecedented, and favor will cover this nation.
Speaker 1: So, jehovah, we say thank you for hearing our prayer and for answering our prayer, because we have prayed in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and God's people say come on, let's give God a big hand.
Speaker 1: Amen, amen, amen.
Speaker 1: Are you glad you came?
Speaker 1: I'm glad I came, and I want to bless us.
Speaker 1: So lift up your hand as I bless us, Father, in the name that is above every name.

Speaker 1: We want it to go into the hands of your colleagues in government, in your careers, your neighbors, that irritating friend of yours, give them this, something will shift.
Speaker 1: You are such a blessing and I'm glad that God gave me the strength to stand before you and to share this message in Jesus' name.
