Speaker 1: Good morning and happy new year.
Speaker 1: I bring you the meditation word.
Speaker 1: This very morning, I'm delighted and excited for the season that God has gifted to us and therefore, this very morning, I'm orders to reflect on the word of God from the book of 2 Timothy, chapter 1, verse 6 to 8.
Speaker 1: In Timothy, chapter 1, verse 6 to 8.
Speaker 1: And this will actually bring the reflection on the season that God has given us, the year 2025,.
Speaker 1: It's a gift that God has given us and, through prayer and reflection and reading and meditating on His Word, 2025 is very critical for me and, I believe, for each and every one of you who are listening to this voice.
Speaker 1: 2 plus 0 plus 2 plus 5, it equals to 9.9 is a very critical number.
Speaker 1: It's the last single digit.
Speaker 1: 9 behelps the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: There are 9 of them.
Speaker 1: Galatians, chapter 5, verse 32.
Speaker 1: 9 is the number of a woman.
Speaker 1: Woman carries pregnancy for nine months and therefore, as a congregant and therefore as a believer, I believe, through the theme for the year that has been released, the year of the incomer spirit, that impartition is something that is being birthed in the Spirit.
Speaker 1: That is uncommon.
Speaker 1: It's not just common, it's not just another year that has just come and therefore, as we reflect on today's Word, I pray that we'll be able to embrace three things.
Speaker 1: We'll be able to embrace the gift of the year 2025.
Speaker 1: We'll be able to embrace the vision that has been released, the vision of the uncommon Spirit-led impartation, and I believe through that, you have already gotten yourself a dim book Whereby you don't just be a listener, you don't just be a hearer, but you'll be a doer.
Speaker 1: You get the copy, you meditate on it, you read on it, and it will give you an insight and an etherecial or full code words for your personal life, for the ministry that you are leading, and it's my encouragement, this very one, that we engage in the book.
Speaker 1: It's loaded with the root of wisdom and guidance through the Spirit.
Speaker 1: The third one is the embrace of the Spirit of power, love and self-discipline.
Speaker 1: And therefore, paul, writing to his mentee Timothy, in 1 Timothy, or rather 2 Timothy, chapter 1 from verse 6 says Hence I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying of my hands, for God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power and love and self-control, was it?
Speaker 1: Therefore, do not be ashamed, then, of testifying to our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel in the power of God.
Speaker 1: Pornos ifimim.
Speaker 1: As you reflect on that word, you can read it in the version that fits you well In your mother tongue.
Speaker 1: It will have more reflection and more liberation as you read it in the version that you so desire.
Speaker 1: So embrace this gift of the year 2025.
Speaker 1: What is that that you have been carrying in your hope that God will bring it to birth now, and as you bring it to birth, don't just birth.
Speaker 1: Embrace what you have birthed, nurture what God is helping you to birth.
Speaker 1: He has helped us.
Speaker 1: You see the year 2025.
Speaker 1: John just celebrated a new year and he says there Bye, bye, sophie, look ahead.
Speaker 1: As a mother, when a boy or a child is born, the mother is able to see the future of this child by faith, like Jochebed, the mother of Moses, when she held that baby.
Speaker 1: And when the Thailand king was killing all the babies, the mother held that baby and said these are very unique babies.
Speaker 1: I will not allow the enemy To do what To kill the baby.
Speaker 1: And so she didn't love the boy, she released it.
Speaker 1: She released the boy and saved the boy For the future.
Speaker 1: She knew nothing about, but by faith she could see the uniqueness of this boy.
Speaker 1: Now that God has given us the year 2025, are you just celebrating the year 2025?
Speaker 1: By the years of it?
Speaker 1: Can you see December?
Speaker 1: Can you see yourself celebrating a giving testimony of what the year 2025 has become?
Speaker 1: I pray that.
Speaker 1: May you embrace this gift of the year 2025.
Speaker 1: And whatever God will help you to bear, may you nurture it to maturity and fruitfulness.
Speaker 1: That's one.
Speaker 1: Second, embrace the vision.
Speaker 1: It's a vision that already our senior pastor, reverend Davos, has already released.
Speaker 1: Don't just be, don't just sit there.
Speaker 1: It's another year.
Speaker 1: We have another theme.
Speaker 1: You know our church is very discreet.
Speaker 1: No, this is a vision that has been led and common spirit led impartition.
Speaker 1: As you pray, as you meditate on the word of God, the spirit of God is alive for each and every one of us and it will be able to give an impartition in your business, in your family, in your career, wherever God has positioned you.
Speaker 1: So embrace the vision.
Speaker 1: Embrace the vision, can learn with it.
Speaker 1: The third thing that God has given to us is that embrace the spirit of power, love and self-discipline.
Speaker 1: That's what Paul told Timothy.
Speaker 1: May we have power.
Speaker 1: Don't be ashamed to share this gospel to your neighbor, to your colleague, to your boss, to whoever In a matatu, in an uber, as you're driving, share this gospel with someone.
Speaker 1: Write an email to someone.
Speaker 1: Tell them God loves, Take someone every morning and say that you have this boldness and courage to share the love of Christ in wherever you are.
Speaker 1: Second, have self-discipline in prayer.
Speaker 1: The state of God can only come up to you if you pray.
Speaker 1: There are Christians, there are disciples.
Speaker 1: When they were praying, the Holy Spirit came upon them in the book of Acts.
Speaker 1: So through prayer, may you have that self-discipline that this will be my lifestyle.
Speaker 1: We will be praying in my family, with my children, in my businesses, with my staff.
Speaker 1: We'll be doing all that and therefore I encourage all of us as you listen to this word Don't just say it's another Monday that you are listening to this.
Speaker 1: May you embrace God's gift of the year 2022.
Speaker 1: May you embrace the vision that God has led us through Pastor Ambrose, for the church and for the body of Christ, and may you embrace the spirit of power, the spirit of power, the spirit of love and self-discipline.
Speaker 1: And when you do so, you come back with a testimony.
Speaker 1: So God bless you, and you have an ear of impartation, spiritually impartation whereby you'll be able to reach places you have never reached.
Speaker 1: They are in common.
Speaker 1: You'll be able to engage in that level.
Speaker 1: So God bless you, shalom.
