Speaker 1: Praise the Lord.
Speaker 1: Shall we pray Our God and our Father.
Speaker 1: We thank you tonight.
Speaker 1: This is an evening of uncommon impartation of Zoe, life and Lord.
Speaker 1: We want to thank you because you're in our midst and we want to thank you because you're here doing great and mighty things.
Speaker 1: We want to thank you, king of Glory, because the Bible says that you have not told the house of Jacob to seek you in vain, and tonight we want to confess that you have not told Paki, the house of Baki, to seek you in vain.
Speaker 1: The Bible says that to him that answereth prayer shall all nations come.
Speaker 1: We have come to a God that answereth prayer.
Speaker 1: We have come to a God that speaks to his people.
Speaker 1: We have come to a God who is more committed to see destinies changed and transformed, even more than we are committed ourselves.
Speaker 1: Therefore, we welcome you tonight.
Speaker 1: Let this be an uncommon moment, let there be an uncommon visitation.
Speaker 1: Let our lives never, ever be the same again.
Speaker 1: You told the Israelites the Egyptians you see today, you shall never see them again that we can choose whether we want another day, but for you, you are saying the Egyptians we see today, we shall never see them again.
Speaker 1: This is our expectation tonight that, even as we hear your word, this word that is life is entering into every system of our being.
Speaker 1: And, jehovah, master, there is transformation that is taking place, there is deliverance that is taking place.
Speaker 1: Why should we come into your presence and live the same way we came?
Speaker 1: We desire and we demand that every one of us will have an encounter in your presence.
Speaker 1: All these things we pray, believing and trusting in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: A hand of applause to our worship team.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for leading us.
Speaker 1: My name is Robert and I'm born again.
Speaker 1: I'll be sharing the word of God, just a brief meditation, and I hope that we will be blessed together.
Speaker 1: It's a joy and a privilege to be here tonight and I thank God for our senior pastor, our associate pastor and all the leadership of Parklands Baptist Church even for this opportunity to stand here.
Speaker 1: So this is 19th of February, wednesday service, the year of the Lord's uncommon, spirit-led impartation, and this month we have been meditating on the impartation of the uncommon Zoe life.
Speaker 1: This is the life of God and we are saying that we need a spirit-led rebirth.
Speaker 1: I'll just be sharing two or three thoughts, and the first thing that I want to share is that there is an invitation to be uncommon.
Speaker 1: The invitation to be uncommon 2 Timothy, a verse that we all know, chapter 2, verse 20.
Speaker 1: The Bible says in a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay.
Speaker 1: Some are for special purposes and some are for common use.
Speaker 1: What an amazing scripture that we have two sets of articles in our house.
Speaker 1: Some are for special purposes.
Speaker 1: Other versions will say some are for noble use and then others are for common.
Speaker 1: It's amazing that, as God is leading us this year as Parklands Baptist Church, there is then the call to move from the common to the uncommon, and I want to share some exciting news tonight, because I was asking myself what if you are born as a common vessel?
Speaker 1: What if fate had it that you're just a common vessel?
Speaker 1: Does it then mean that you resign to fate?
Speaker 1: Does it mean that you give up and tell yourself oh well, there are those that were uncommon or noble, but for me I was called as a common vessel.
Speaker 1: But verse 21 gives us a solution, because verse 21 says if other versions say Because verse 21 says if other versions say, therefore, if a vessel cleanses itself, it is to be used for the special purpose, it can be moved from being a common vessel into being an uncommon vessel.
Speaker 1: That for me is a privilege and an honor that, as a church, god has actually committed to us this year that if we are willing and we are obedient, all of us will indeed move from being common vessels into being uncommon.
Speaker 1: Because God is saying this is the year of the Lord's uncommon, spirit-led impartation and therefore there is an invitation to be uncommon.
Speaker 1: This invitation has been floated to every one of us.
Speaker 1: Isaiah 25, verse 6,.
Speaker 1: The Bible says on this mountain, the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all, for all, for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine, the best of meats and the finest of wines.
Speaker 1: On this mountain, on the mountain of Parklands Baptist Church, the Lord has prepared a feast and in this feast it is the feast to move people from being common to being uncommon.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you the tragedy In Matthew 22, the parable of the wedding banquet, because it's amazing that God prepares a feast in the book of Isaiah 25.
Speaker 1: But if you fast forward to the book of Matthew 22 and the book of Luke 14, 18, in fact Luke 14, 18 puts it better because it says A king who prepared a wedding banquet invited people, but they refused to come.
Speaker 1: That is the king in Isaiah 25, verse 6, that the Lord Almighty prepared a feast, but Matthew 22 and Luke 14, 18, talks about people who refused to come.
Speaker 1: The invitation to be uncommon tonight has been floated to us as a church and I want to ask you will you be among the people who refuse to come?
Speaker 1: Luke 14, 18 has amazing excuses, because some people said I have just bought a field.
Speaker 1: How can you invite me into this wedding banquet?
Speaker 1: And I have some work.
Speaker 1: In fact, I had already planned out my year and I had already seen the way my year will be a common year.
Speaker 1: So I am feeling as if this invitation to be uncommon is a nuisance to my plan.
Speaker 1: In fact, me, I love working with a proper plan and therefore you're giving your excuses.
Speaker 1: A second group of people said I have just bought five yokes of oxen.
Speaker 1: I need a return on investment.
Speaker 1: This day you are telling me to come.
Speaker 1: I had already secured some orders to farm or to do something with the oxen.
Speaker 1: The last one, the most obvious, said I have just married a wife.
Speaker 1: Please come back next year after honeymoon season is over.
Speaker 1: Why make an invitation just when I have married a wife?
Speaker 1: Where was this invitation before?
Speaker 1: And the end of that story is that the owner or the king of the banquet said go to the streets, bring me everybody, bring me the poor, bring me the crippled, bring me the blind, bring me the lame.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I don't want to be a bearer of bad news, but when there is such an invitation, there will be substitution for the people who refuse to come into this invitation, and the substitution is for everyone and I pray that, as the house of Paki, this invitation doesn't benefit everybody else out there and we miss out.
Speaker 1: Verse 22 of the same Luke 14, it's amazing that after they have brought in the poor, the lame, the crippled, the blind, they still come and say there is still room for more.
Speaker 1: It's amazing that this invitation that God has called us into, there is so much in store for us this year as a people and as a church that there is still room that you can live out your life in the most audacious and common way.
Speaker 1: But there is still room for more.
Speaker 1: And he says go to the highways and compel men to come.
Speaker 1: Luke 19, verse 24, jesus weeps over Jerusalem.
Speaker 1: And he says because you didn't recognize that the time of your visitation from God had come.
Speaker 1: And I pray that, as Paki, jesus will not have to weep over our lives.
Speaker 1: May Jesus not weep over you because you didn't realize that the time of your visitation had come, that the time to be shifted from a common life into an uncommon life had come.
Speaker 1: I pray that come next year, you will still not be grouped among the common vessels, the vessels that are used for common matters in the house.
Speaker 1: I pray that you heed to this call in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Matthew 13, verse 54.
Speaker 1: The Bible says Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue and they were amazed and they were asking where did this man get this wisdom and miraculous powers?
Speaker 1: So, as the theme is released, most of us were amazed and we are saying where did Reverend Ambrose get this wisdom and miraculous power?
Speaker 1: Where did he get this revelation that it is the year of the uncommon, spirit-led impartation?
Speaker 1: The next verse I am shocked how quickly they transition, because the next verse they start by saying isn't this the carpenter's son?
Speaker 1: Isn't his mother's name, mary?
Speaker 1: Aren't his brothers, james and John and Simon and Judas?
Speaker 1: Aren't all his sisters with us.
Speaker 1: Isn't this the carpenter's son?
Speaker 1: Where did this man get all these things?
Speaker 1: And they took offense at him.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you after such a prophetic word has been released, the next thing will be haven't you had other prophetic words released to you?
Speaker 1: Didn't we say last year that it was the year of the Lord's uplifted open door?
Speaker 1: The year before, wasn't there another theme?
Speaker 1: For the last 10 or 15 years, we've always had a theme for the year.
Speaker 1: There will be arguments in your mind.
Speaker 1: You will be asking is this the year to talk about being uncommon?
Speaker 1: Looking at the economy, looking at the workplace, looking at my career, looking at my family, this surely is not the year.
Speaker 1: These are the arguments that they raised.
Speaker 1: After getting amazed, they quickly transitioned and started raising arguments.
Speaker 1: And this is my prayer for us tonight that none of us will get to this place where we start arguing with the word of God.
Speaker 1: Elisha speaks a very uncommon thing where he says tomorrow, at such a time as this, but the king's officer is still stuck to the common.
Speaker 1: The common is that an economy cannot change in a day and, it is true, rightfully so.
Speaker 1: But when the uncommon comes, you better let go of the uncommon.
Speaker 1: That story of Jesus ends by saying he didn't do many miracles there because of their lack of faith, and our prayer tonight, even as a church, is that God will be able to do many uncommon things this year because we have faith in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: We are so much used to the common, such that when an uncommon invitation comes, and any form of invitation when it comes, what is the first question you ask Am I required to pay?
Speaker 1: Because most of the invitations that have come our way, whether it's an invitation to travel, an invitation for a wedding, an invitation for any event, the obvious question is how much are we paying?
Speaker 1: Do we need to do prior booking?
Speaker 1: In fact, do we need to pay upfront?
Speaker 1: Most of the events are usually paid upfront.
Speaker 1: There is even usually a discount for the people who pay upfront, and the people who pay at the gate will pay more expensively.
Speaker 1: Therefore, it is natural that when there is an invitation, your default settings is to reject the invitation Because you have no idea how much you need to pay for that invitation.
Speaker 1: Like the man at the pool, we are stuck to the old formula when Jesus is saying do you want to be healed?
Speaker 1: And you are saying I have been here for 38 years.
Speaker 1: I have no man to put me in the water that is being stuck in the old when there is an invitation to be uncommon.
Speaker 1: That is the invitation Number two.
Speaker 1: I want us to all agree that we will heed to the call and tonight we are saying Lord, we say yes, we accept the invitation.
Speaker 1: Say yes, we accept the invitation Because most of us in this room have had, in a way or the other, been invited by God into the uncommon.
Speaker 1: It could be that you're feeling restless.
Speaker 1: It could be that you're having an audacious, crazy dream.
Speaker 1: It could be that you have a desire that is inside your heart, and tonight I'm here to tell you stop suppressing the call to be uncommon, agree with God and agree with the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: There is a burning desire in all of us.
Speaker 1: It is a cue for God's leading.
Speaker 1: It is a burning bush inviting you into God's presence.
Speaker 1: But the issue is not the bush.
Speaker 1: It is that God wants to call you into the uncommon assignment of delivering the Israelites from Egypt.
Speaker 1: It is a bid me come moment, like for Peter when he's told by Jesus, come.
Speaker 1: And then he jumps out of the boat into the water Tonight, because last month we were looking at the uncommon vision.
Speaker 1: I want you to revisit your vision, your dreams, your desires again and stop suppressing them.
Speaker 1: Maybe there is even some things that you have already archived.
Speaker 1: This is the time to pull them out quickly by the help of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: Luke 11, verse 8 and verse 9, the Bible talks about the guy who goes to the neighbor to ask for breads, and I want to summarize it.
Speaker 1: He says he will not give you bread because of the friendship, but because of your shameless audacity.
Speaker 1: He will surely get up and give you as much as you need.
Speaker 1: Could this be the year that you need some shameless audacity, because it is there captured in the Bible?
Speaker 1: Could this be the year that you need to be more audacious in your dreams, more audacious in your visions?
Speaker 1: Could this be the year that you desire a more uncommon career, a more uncommon business, a more uncommon prayer life, a more uncommon word study?
Speaker 1: Could this be the year I pray that all of us will get that leading of the Holy Spirit?
Speaker 1: The Canaanite woman got her uncommon when she's desiring Jesus to heal her child, and the Bible says that Jesus told her I cannot take bread that is meant for the children and give it to the dogs.
Speaker 1: But the insult it looks like an insult coming from Jesus is nothing compared to the healing.
Speaker 1: So for her, she wants the uncommon so badly that nothing can stand in her way.
Speaker 1: And she says even dogs feed off the breads that fall off the king's table.
Speaker 1: And Jesus is amazed by the desire in this woman to have an uncommon visitation.
Speaker 1: It was not yet time for the Gentiles to enjoy the visitation of Jesus, but she was able to bypass that whole arrangement and receive her miracle.
Speaker 1: Number three and the last point that I wanted to share the Zoe life is a remedy from the common to the uncommon.
Speaker 1: There is a man in the book of Acts, 16, verse 30, who asked Paul and Silas what must I do to be saved?
Speaker 1: And maybe some of us here tonight are asking God, I desire this uncommon thing.
Speaker 1: Give me the formula tonight.
Speaker 1: What must I do to be saved?
Speaker 1: And Luke 18, 18 also talks about that ruler who came to Jesus and asked Jesus what must I do to inherit eternal life?
Speaker 1: And I hope that every one of us in this room are coming to Jesus and to the Holy Spirit and asking what must I do to receive this thing, even without full comprehension of what this uncommon thing means.
Speaker 1: What must I do?
Speaker 1: And I go back to that second Timothy 2.20.
Speaker 1: Because the Bible says if any vessel cleanses itself.
Speaker 1: It sounds easier said than done, because why then are we stuck to the common?
Speaker 1: And I was quick to go to the book of Romans, 12, verse one and two.
Speaker 1: This is a verse that we all know.
Speaker 1: The Bible says present your bodies as a living sacrifice wholly acceptable to God, which is your reasonable sacrifice.
Speaker 1: And one of the things I want us to do tonight is to reason with God.
Speaker 1: It says a reasonable sacrifice.
Speaker 1: That means you should be able to put all the logic on the table and it should still make sense to you that this calling to be an uncommon believer actually makes sense.
Speaker 1: It is a reasonable sacrifice to give to God.
Speaker 1: Offer your bodies as a reasonable sacrifice.
Speaker 1: Other versions will say as a logical sacrifice.
Speaker 1: The impartation of this Zoe life means that there is something that we need to let go and that second Timothy says if any vessel cleanses itself.
Speaker 1: That means there are things we need to get rid of tonight so that this new life, the zoe life of God, can actually be imparted in us.
Speaker 1: Hebrews 12 says, because we are surrounded by such great a crowd of witnesses.
Speaker 1: Let us therefore lay aside every sin and every weight.
Speaker 1: And the NLT version says let go of sin and weight that slows you down, because the call to be uncommon is actually for people who are believers, is for people who are born again, is for people who are spirit-filled.
Speaker 1: But God is saying there is another measure available for us tonight.
Speaker 1: It is like having a Ferrari, but this Ferrari cannot hit the maximum speeds it should hit.
Speaker 1: You're still struggling with 60, 80 kilometers per hour, but you are able to hit 300 kilometers per hour.
Speaker 1: Let go of the sin and, most importantly, for the sake of this audience, forget even about the sin.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the weight, because weight is not a sin, but it is something that constantly slows you down.
Speaker 1: You have to do what people in business call a cost-benefit analysis.
Speaker 1: You have to do what we call an opportunity cost what is the cost of me holding on to this weight versus what I am losing, so that after that, you make a reasonable sacrifice and a reasonable decision and actually realize that you're the one that is missing out, that God's call to be uncommon actually makes sense in every way, to heed to that call than to stay in a common place.
Speaker 1: I quickly googled and I was looking at, because, as I was thinking about this impartation of Zoe life, it is the realization that there is something occupying our spirit.
Speaker 1: Man, our bodies are the temples of the holy spirit, but there is something else that is occupying it.
Speaker 1: There are things that are living in you rent free, if I should say so and I googled what is the cost of siltation in dams?
Speaker 1: Because as dams carry water and we have many of them in our country, like the Seven Fox Dam, that generate the bigger component of our power as water is going into the dam, there is also sand that goes into the dam and every year they have to spend money to pull out the sand.
Speaker 1: It is called dredging.
Speaker 1: And a quick Google they were saying globally, the cost of managing dams is $60 billion.
Speaker 1: Out of it, $20 billion is spent on dredging, just removing things that don't belong, things that came with the water, that were not supposed to come with the water.
Speaker 1: That is 30% of the cost of managing the dams.
Speaker 1: Yet there is so much more that is happening.
Speaker 1: They need to manage the power stations, the turbines, the infrastructure, but 20% of that money globally it is $20 billion is actually used to remove sand from the dams.
Speaker 1: And tonight I'm here to ask you do you have siltation in your heart, things that wrongfully occupy your space?
Speaker 1: Because if you read now the whole story of siltation, it actually reduces the amount of water in the dams, reduces the amount of power they can generate.
Speaker 1: It is such an expensive affair and tonight I'm asking all of us is there some dredging that we need to do so that the real power of God, the Zoe life, can actually come and occupy our hearts and our spirit?
Speaker 1: Man, the book of Joshua, chapter one, is an entire dredging exercise where God is telling Joshua.
Speaker 1: It starts by saying Joshua, my servant Moses is dead.
Speaker 1: And it is an entire dredging exercise.
Speaker 1: God is telling Joshua do not be fearful.
Speaker 1: I am telling you, be bold and courageous, do not be fearful, do not doubt, do not have unbelief.
Speaker 1: It is an entire dredging exercise God taking away the fear in Joshua and then depositing in the life of Joshua something else.
Speaker 1: Joshua has a blank check.
Speaker 1: It is an uncommon offer on the table, but he has to dredge some things.
Speaker 1: He has to let the zoe life to enter him.
Speaker 1: He has to let boldness and courage and faith to enter him.
Speaker 1: And tonight, as God is telling you to dredge some things, you have to believe that what he wants to put in your heart is more precious.
Speaker 1: You have to believe that God is a rewarder.
Speaker 1: You have to believe that God cannot give you a lower offer than what you currently carry.
Speaker 1: You have to believe that for God we go from glory to glory and from strength to strength.
Speaker 1: And tonight I'm here to remind us let go and let God.
Speaker 1: Let go of everything that you have been holding onto, so that the spirit of God can fall afresh on every one of us.
Speaker 1: It is a night to make room for God, so that we can have more space to accommodate him.
Speaker 1: It is a night to say, like Peter, let me jump onto this thing, let me jump into the sea, let me see whether I can sink.
Speaker 1: Let God be true and every man a liar.
Speaker 1: That's what the Bible says.
Speaker 1: I am here to remind us and to encourage us that this call to be uncommon is not a setup for failure, because God is calling you to move into an uncommon career, into an uncommon business, into an uncommon assignment.
Speaker 1: You need to make a shameless, audacious decision, and I'm here to remind us tonight that it is not a setup for failure.
Speaker 1: One of the things I have held closely to my heart in my walk with God is that God is not a user, he's a blesser, and the Bible says he's a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Speaker 1: God is not a sadist.
Speaker 1: He's not waiting for you to jump into the water and then say that is not the nature of our God.
Speaker 1: It is that, in fact, the Bible says do not throw away your confidence, because in due season it shall be rewarded.
Speaker 1: We are talking about a God who is able to reward men who can agree to move from the common to the uncommon.
Speaker 1: May your confidence in God be built up tonight.
Speaker 1: May your faith be lifted up to God tonight.
Speaker 1: May you be in a place where nothing can take away this reality.
Speaker 1: Let this reality of you being called into an uncommon life, let this reality sink in you.
Speaker 1: Isaiah 36,.
Speaker 1: Sennacherib is shocked because he has sent a letter to King Hezekiah and there is an expectation of what Hezekiah should do.
Speaker 1: So he was telling Hezekiah FYI, I have beaten up kings that are twice or three times as greater as you, so I am sending you a letter just to inform you that you should make peace with me quickly.
Speaker 1: And then King Hezekiah amazingly refuses to respond to that letter and he says let's go to battle.
Speaker 1: And Sennacherib is shocked because now he's asking King Hezekiah, from where is your confidence?
Speaker 1: And I pray that we get to this place where everything around our lives you know you are sent negative reports, reports that don't adapt to what you meant and what you intended to do.
Speaker 1: I pray that we can get to a place where every enemy in your life is asking From whence is your confidence?
Speaker 1: That, as you walk an uncommon life, it doesn't matter what the reality is saying, you still stick to the fact that you have been called to have an uncommon year.
Speaker 1: This is a year for a high risk, high return.
Speaker 1: That's what I said.
Speaker 1: It is a high risk, high return year.
Speaker 1: It is an year for a high risk, high return.
Speaker 1: That's what I said.
Speaker 1: It is a high risk, high return year.
Speaker 1: It is an year when God is saying if only you people can engage in this uncommon thing, there will be a high return.
Speaker 1: When the disciples were coming to Jesus, jesus was telling them follow me and I will make you fishers of men.
Speaker 1: But they were fishing fish.
Speaker 1: They have to have the faith that fishing men is more profitable than than the fish.
Speaker 1: And one day, as they are sitting and doing their board meeting, they ask Jesus, by the way, for us who left everything, what shall be done unto us?
Speaker 1: And Jesus tells them it is a hundredfold for you, here on earth and even in heaven.
Speaker 1: That is the God that is calling us into the uncommon.
Speaker 1: Elisha is told follow me.
Speaker 1: And then the Bible says he slays everything, the oxen and everything, and follows Elijah.
Speaker 1: Is it common or uncommon?
Speaker 1: Fast forward.
Speaker 1: Elisha does not have to contend with the things that the other sons of prophets are contending with.
Speaker 1: In fact, when one of the sons of the prophets dies, he leaves the wife in serious debt, so that the children are almost being auctioned.
Speaker 1: They go to Elisha.
Speaker 1: Now you need to do a reasonable analysis, cost benefit analysis.
Speaker 1: So is it better to be called into the uncommon life like Elisha, or is it better for you to remain common, like the son of prophet?
Speaker 1: And then you know what can happen to your wives and to your children.
Speaker 1: They can be auctioned anytime.
Speaker 1: Abraham, leave your place.
Speaker 1: And Abraham is asking to where God doesn't even answer.
Speaker 1: He says to a place.
Speaker 1: I will show you, but I hope that my uncommon as God will make sense to you, abraham, than to stay with your people.
Speaker 1: Levites were told they shouldn't work.
Speaker 1: On the face of it, you have to ask yourself then, how will they eat?
Speaker 1: But you need to understand that, after God telling them they shouldn't work, he said all your provisions shall be from God himself.
Speaker 1: They were actually allowed to even partake of the sacrifices that were being offered at the temple.
Speaker 1: It is a privilege and an honor when God calls us into the uncommon.
Speaker 1: What is coming your way is of greater value.
Speaker 1: What you will miss cannot be bigger.
Speaker 1: How can it be bigger?
Speaker 1: How comes?
Speaker 1: The devil is giving you an offer and you think that offer is better than what God is offering.
Speaker 1: Yet he himself is a created being.
Speaker 1: Where is he getting this better thing from?
Speaker 1: Because, unless he is going to God, who created him to ask God?
Speaker 1: Because he's a created being.
Speaker 1: So it is like getting an offer from a chief, and then the president on this other side is also giving you an offer, but you choose the chief.
Speaker 1: How much can the chief give you?
Speaker 1: Even if he was to give you the entire land?
Speaker 1: He's in charge.
Speaker 1: It's only a location, but you have a whole president on this other side inviting us for the uncommon.
Speaker 1: The devil himself is a created being and I pray tonight that as we go home, one of the logical decisions we will have made is that I will let go of everything that is preventing me from getting into this uncommon invitation.
Speaker 1: I am letting go of every excuse I have given that I have given an excuse.
Speaker 1: I am just newly married, I have oxen, I have a business.
Speaker 1: That I have given an excuse.
Speaker 1: I am just newly married, I have Oxen, I have a business plan I had put in place, my career is in order.
Speaker 1: I am the people who love order, precept upon precept, and therefore tonight we are saying God, come and interrupt our lives.
Speaker 1: We agree to take in this uncommon thing that you have for us.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, I want us to stand and just make a prayer and I want you to tell the Lord I heed to this call.
Speaker 1: Tell the Lord thank you for inviting me into the uncommon.
Speaker 1: Then, number two I say yes, realize that there are many people who are invited, but they didn't show up Until the owner of the banquet had to go into the streets.
Speaker 1: Refuse that any substitution will be done for your sake.
Speaker 1: Refuse that someone else will have to come and benefit from this uncommon calling because you didn't heed to the call, and finally tell the Lord, whatever it takes, I come like the man who came to you, jesus, and asked what must I do?
Speaker 1: What must I do to enter this uncommon?
Speaker 1: What is this dredging that I need to do in my heart and in my spirit, man?
Speaker 1: What are the things that I must let go?
Speaker 1: I have held on to unforgiveness for so long.
Speaker 1: I feel like I must revenge against this person.
Speaker 1: But, god, tonight you're telling me vengeance is of the Lord.
Speaker 1: Help me to let go.
Speaker 1: Help me to let go of bitterness.
Speaker 1: Help me to let go, because these are the things that are occupying my heart.
Speaker 1: Help me to let go of everything that I have been holding onto.
Speaker 1: Help me to let go of fear, of doubt, of unbelief.
Speaker 1: That, lord, I have tried to trust in you, but I have been shaking.
Speaker 1: Strengthen my feeble knees and my feeble hands, even in your presence.
Speaker 1: Tonight.
Speaker 1: The Bible says by my God, I can run through a troop and I can leap over walls.
Speaker 1: Let there be an uncommon equipping tonight.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, father, we thank you.
Speaker 1: We heed to your call tonight.
Speaker 1: All of us agree, jehovah, master, that it is a reasonable sacrifice to offer to you.
Speaker 1: All of us agree to this call to be uncommon king of glory.
Speaker 1: We know that we are used to the common.
Speaker 1: In fact, we know that our minds are resisting the uncommon, but we bring down every thought and we bring it captivity to the knowledge of the word of God, in the name of Jesus, thoughts that have been fighting us every day, telling us you cannot be uncommon.
Speaker 1: Do you think you will be the first uncommon person in your family?
Speaker 1: Do you think you will be the one to raise the first uncommon business In this economy?
Speaker 1: We are telling the Lord Lord, we agree to this uncommon.
Speaker 1: Do you think you're the one who will be the first to have an uncommon ministry in your family, or in the city of Nairobi, or in this country of Kenya?
Speaker 1: Do you think that it is possible to have an uncommon career?
Speaker 1: Tonight, we are telling the Lord yes, in the name of Jesus.
Speaker 1: Mary told the Lord be it unto me according to your word.
Speaker 1: I am just the servant of the Lord.
Speaker 1: Those things you're saying, angel, they may not make sense to me, but I say yes in the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: This is our declaration tonight, king of glory, that our minds can catch up with us later, but we shall not be stopped, we shall not be restricted, we shall not be restrained.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ, how can we have an invitation to be uncommon and yet we choose to be common?
Speaker 1: We refuse, oh God, everything common in our lives.
Speaker 1: Oh God, we shall wage war against it tonight, in the name of Jesus Christ, we have been called for the uncommon.
Speaker 1: We have been called for the uncommon.
Speaker 1: Thank you for this invitation, oh God.
Speaker 1: You have prepared rich food and aged wine.
Speaker 1: We are the people who come to the table ready to partake of what you have prepared for us.
Speaker 1: Oh God, by the end of this year, king of Glory, we are declaring there shall be uncommon businesses in our midst.
Speaker 1: There shall be uncommon careers in our midst.
Speaker 1: There shall be uncommon families in our midst, oh God.
Speaker 1: There shall be uncommon careers in our midst.
Speaker 1: There shall be uncommon families in our midst, o God.
Speaker 1: There shall be uncommon worshippers in our midst.
Speaker 1: There shall be uncommon intercessors in our midst.
Speaker 1: There shall be uncommon men of God in our midst.
Speaker 1: O God, in the name of Jesus Christ, we say yes, we say yes, we say yes to you, o God, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: We thank you, lord, and we bless your name and these things.
Speaker 1: We pray, believing and trusting in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Amen and amen.
Speaker 1: I want us to get to a session of the Lord's Table so that we just feel these matters, we can take our seats.
Speaker 1: I believe we have ushers to distribute the elements.
Speaker 1: No, no, lord's table.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I had seen it somewhere in the program.
Speaker 1: But either way, we will still partake of the benefits of the Lord's Table.
Speaker 1: Okay, alright, I had seen it somewhere in the program.
Speaker 1: But either way, we will still partake of the benefits of the Lord's Table in our lives and we just want to declare that.
Speaker 1: You know, as I was thinking about the Lord's Table, jesus said that do this in remembrance of me.
Speaker 1: And tonight I was just remembering the whole story of crucifixion.
Speaker 1: For Jesus said that do this in remembrance of me.
Speaker 1: And tonight I was just remembering the whole story of crucifixion, and one of the things that Stuck in my mind is the thief at the cross who was able to connect with the uncommon, and he told Jesus remember me when you get to paradise.
Speaker 1: And Jesus told the man.
Speaker 1: Today or tonight or this day, you will be with me in paradise.
Speaker 1: And someone has given an illustration and a story of what might have happened in heaven that day, because there is a high chance that there was a crisis meeting by the angels and they were asking how did this man come?
Speaker 1: We had already handed over the file to the other side, to the devil's side.
Speaker 1: How is he here?
Speaker 1: Do we have a breach of our protocol or a breach of our security?
Speaker 1: They are looking for his file.
Speaker 1: There is no salvation, there is no baptism, nothing has been done to this guy.
Speaker 1: So I imagine that they escalated the issue to other senior angels and so on, and ultimately the man is invited and asked how are you here?
Speaker 1: And then he says the man at the cross said I could come, and I pray that as we go through this year, because there will be many thoughts to try and discourage you, to try and tell you you don't deserve the uncommon that you will always remember it is the man at the cross who has invited you to be uncommon.
Speaker 1: The Bible says he has chosen us before we chose him.
Speaker 1: He chose us before we chose him that we could bear fruit and that that fruit will last.
Speaker 1: He chose us before we chose him.
Speaker 1: This invitation to be uncommon, I keep telling people.
Speaker 1: I don't need to hear the same word that Reverend Ambrose has had.
Speaker 1: Mine is to trust and mine is to say he has walked with God for many years.
Speaker 1: He has a covenant with God.
Speaker 1: Mine is to say I hear the word uncommon.
Speaker 1: I will engage 100%.
Speaker 1: Let nothing stop you from enjoying a feast that has been fully paid for.
Speaker 1: The man at the cross said that you can come.
Speaker 1: Father, we thank you and we bless your name.
Speaker 1: Tonight Every one of us has been invited to be uncommon and we want to declare, jehovah, master, that tonight we have silenced every voice that is saying we cannot be uncommon and tonight we agree to your word.
Speaker 1: When the devil came to Eve and Adam at the Garden of Eden, he was asking did God really say I pray that we will always have a word to respond to the devil when he comes.
Speaker 1: If not anything, then we will say.
Speaker 1: He said I can come.
Speaker 1: I hear that this invitation is fully sponsored by the blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross.
Speaker 1: I hear that the substitutionary sacrifice at the cross is enough.
Speaker 1: It was not a subsidy.
Speaker 1: It was not a discount.
Speaker 1: It is fully paid in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: And tonight, every argument against us.
Speaker 1: The Bible says in the book of Colossians that he blotted out everything that was written against us.
Speaker 1: Tonight, I blot out everything written against you.
Speaker 1: Everything says that you cannot enjoy an uncommon family, that you cannot enjoy an uncommon marriage, that you cannot enjoy an uncommon financial breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Tonight we declare that it is blotted out in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: God has changed our name from Jacob to Israel and therefore we are the father of nations in the name of Jesus.
Speaker 1: In this year and in the next 12 months, king of Glory, there will be Hannahs that are going to laugh in our midst because they are going to hold an uncommon miracle of baby Samuel.
Speaker 1: There are many Sarahs who will laugh in our midst, oh God, because they will hold an uncommon miracle of Isaac.
Speaker 1: King of glory.
Speaker 1: There are many bleeding women, jehovah, master, that are going to laugh, king of glory, because of the uncommon miracle of touching the helm of your garment In the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: The woman who was bent for 18 years encountered this life of God.
Speaker 1: I declare Jehovah.
Speaker 1: There are many areas of our lives where we have been bent in every way, maybe bent financially, bent in our businesses, bent in our careers, bent in our assignments.
Speaker 1: There is a straightening up tonight, even by the life of God.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus.
Speaker 1: The Bible asks can these dry bones live again?
Speaker 1: Because of the zoe life that is coming upon us tonight, there are dry bones that are living again.
Speaker 1: There are dry families that are living again.
Speaker 1: There are dry careers that are living again.
Speaker 1: Where we have been barren, god is bringing fruitfulness to the work of our hands.
Speaker 1: The Bible says the wilderness shall become a fruitful vine and then the fruitful vine shall become a forest.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, dry bones shall live again.
Speaker 1: We expect the uncommon this year and we declare my God and my Father, this shall be our reality and there is nothing that the devil.
Speaker 1: God bless you.
Speaker 1: We can stand and share the words of grace.
Speaker 1: May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forevermore.
Speaker 1: Amen, amen.
Speaker 1: God bless you.
