Speaker 2: God.
Speaker 2: Refresh us, god, restore us, god realign us, god renew us.
Speaker 2: God realign us, god renew us.
Speaker 2: This is why we are here today and I just want to make a short prayer, just allowing the Holy Spirit to minister to us at this time.
Speaker 2: Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you and we honor you, because we know that you have laid a table before us, a table of revival, a table of restoration, a table of realignment, lord, a table that will move us to the next level.
Speaker 2: Lord, so many years we have seen this revival come and go.
Speaker 2: Ten years have gone and this is our eleventh year and, lord, it is your faithfulness that has caused us to continue laying this table Because, god, you have a purpose and a reason for God's people to be revived.
Speaker 2: The Bible says If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven forgive their sins and heal the land.
Speaker 2: Dear Lord, somebody has come for a miracle today, somebody has come for a breakthrough.
Speaker 2: Today, somebody just has been praying 21 days of prayer and fasting the Lord.
Speaker 2: Revival will enter their homes.
Speaker 2: Revival will touch their beloved ones who are not saved.
Speaker 2: My God, I pray that, in the name of Jesus, this week, tonight, the waters of revival will flow in our midst in a powerful way.
Speaker 2: So, lord, anoint this man.
Speaker 2: He's your servant.
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, flow in him and through him, anoint our ears to hear, anoint our hearts to receive.
Speaker 2: And, father, we say thank you, as we include all those watching us online, in their homes and wherever they are To God be the glory because of the miracles that are just about to happen.
Speaker 2: For we have prayed this in Jesus' name and God's people say it.
Speaker 2: Our verse is in 2 Timothy, chapter 1, most of it, and we'll be picking it up, but today I want to read verse 3 to 5.
Speaker 2: 2 Timothy, chapter 1, verse 3 to 5.
Speaker 2: And this is Paul writing to Timothy, and he says this I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience.
Speaker 2: As, night and day, I constantly remember you in my prayers, recalling your tears.
Speaker 2: I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor, you'll be filled with joy.
Speaker 2: I'm reminded of your sincere faith, and that's our topic today.
Speaker 2: I'm reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother, lois, and in your mother, eunice, and I am persuaded now lives in you also.
Speaker 2: Today the topic is faith of the unbound and the theme, like Pastor Simon said, is unbound dominion.
Speaker 2: And I just want to say one or two things about dominion and the word unbound.
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor unbound.
Speaker 2: You know, many things can capture you, many things can hold you back, but I want you to know, when Jesus came, he said I came, that you may have life and have it how Abundantly.
Speaker 2: There are many challenges in our world today that sometimes bind your mind, they bind your heart, they bind your dreams, and you have dreams, amazing dreams, and some of them you say will never come to pass because of the economic situation, the political situation, the social situation.
Speaker 2: But we are here to tell you this Beyond all those situations, there's a kingdom situation.
Speaker 2: I'm saying there's a kingdom situation and Jesus prayed and he said thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Speaker 2: And this week we want to release this kingdom and we want to tell you that this kingdom has dominion, because the word kingdom, if you catch it, apokatikati kingdom, it's actually king dominion.
Speaker 2: And so when Jesus says the kingdom has come, he's saying the king and his dominion has come.
Speaker 2: And that dominion is not hanging somewhere on the moon, it's right inside your life, in Jesus' name.
Speaker 2: Unbound means freedom, freedom, it means freedom, freedom.
Speaker 2: It means freedom that releases power, freedom that commands purpose, freedom that declares vision, freedom that enables order, freedom that authenticates victory.
Speaker 2: That is dominion, unbound, freedom, freedom, dominion, unbound, freedom, freedom, unbound.
Speaker 2: Free to achieve your dreams, free to rise to levels you have never risen before.
Speaker 2: Freedom, and Jesus is the only one who can give that freedom.
Speaker 2: The Bible says if the Son sets you free, you're free indeed.
Speaker 2: So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor.
Speaker 2: You may look at me and you think I'm bound.
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor I am free indeed.
Speaker 2: Tell the neighbor who just ignored you and tell them I am free indeed.
Speaker 2: Tell the other neighbor who is still ignoring you and tell them I am free indeed.
Speaker 2: Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Speaker 2: Free to be what God created you to be.
Speaker 2: That's what the Bible says.
Speaker 2: Let us make man in our image and in our likeness.
Speaker 2: Let them have what Dominion Be free, pastor Simon.
Speaker 2: Another word that popped into my mind as I was talking about dominion and freedom is God is giving us permission, permission to be free.
Speaker 2: Hallelujah, that is being unbound.
Speaker 2: You are given permission, free.
Speaker 2: And so I can say this God has given us permission to release power.
Speaker 2: God has given us permission to release power.
Speaker 2: God has given us permission to command purpose.
Speaker 2: God has given us freedom to declare vision.
Speaker 2: God has given us permission to enable order.
Speaker 2: God has given us freedom, permission to authenticate victory.
Speaker 2: And so Paul, as he writes to Timothy because we're going to talk about Timothy today saw this young man and realized there was potential in that young man, and he began to nurture this young man's faith.
Speaker 2: Because I want to tell you this God has given us faith for the unbound.
Speaker 2: So in the book of Acts he meets this young man.
Speaker 2: So let me go to Acts, chapter 16, as we just will go through some of the stages of what happened to Timothy.
Speaker 2: But in Acts, chapter 16, verse 1, the Bible says this Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a disciple named who Timothy lived, whose mother was Jewish and a believer, but whose father was a Greek.
Speaker 2: And I like that because Pastor Simon, god, is amazing at locating people.
Speaker 2: The Bible says I'm not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation to whoever who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, and God found a Timothy who had these two combinations in his heart, a Jew and a Greek.
Speaker 2: And God said this is the guy I want to develop, this is the guy I'm going to use as an example to cause men and women to arise and to remember to have faith that gives them permission for dominion.
Speaker 2: And so it goes on to say this the believers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
Speaker 2: Pastor Simon, he had a good reputation in his place.
Speaker 2: So look at your neighbor.
Speaker 2: Just check Dishonor.
Speaker 2: If they have a good reputation, just check them out.
Speaker 2: I know some of them are ignoring you, but just out.
Speaker 2: I know some of them are ignoring you, but just a good reputation.
Speaker 2: Now I want you to know that Ambrose did not have a very good reputation in his early life and I was something else, but Mungu ni nani Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Speaker 2: And so they traveled from town to town and they were able to deliver the decision that the apostles had given to them from Jerusalem.
Speaker 2: That's the first time we meet Timothy.
Speaker 2: Fast forward to Acts, chapter 18, verse 5.
Speaker 2: And remember, pastor Simon, paul is now walking with this young man and something is beginning to happen in this young man, because Paul wants him to see what kind of a person it is who is unbound.
Speaker 2: Timothy never was in Jerusalem, he had never been there.
Speaker 2: He was in Lystra most of his life, his mother Eunice, his grandmother Lois I'll be talking about that in a minute because the name Eunice by the way, pastor Simon, the name Eunice, though we say Eunice in Greek, is Eunike, eunike, or, if you cut the U, eunike is where we get the word Nike.
Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
Speaker 2: So you have U Nike, but we say the K, we put a C, so we say Unis, but it is U Nike, nike, nike.
Speaker 2: Can somebody tell me what Nike means?
Speaker 2: Just do it.
Speaker 2: Can you Google and find out?
Speaker 2: The Nike motto is just do it.
Speaker 2: But the word Nike itself means what?
Speaker 2: Huh, iron.
Speaker 2: It means Victory.
Speaker 2: Let's give him a big hand, amen.
Speaker 2: It means Victory when you hear the verse that says we are more than conquerors.
Speaker 2: That's why you get the word we are more than Nike, we are more than conquerors.
Speaker 2: The word Nike.
Speaker 2: So, if you have U Nike, u means what EU means what?
Speaker 2: Not European Union, tafadhali, okay, not European Union.
Speaker 2: Okay, take another word Uology.
Speaker 2: Means what?
Speaker 2: Uology?
Speaker 2: Huh, usually uology is found where, during funerals.
Speaker 2: But eulogy, the word eulogy means a word.
Speaker 2: Eulogy means a good word, hallelujah, a good word.
Speaker 2: Or it means a great word.
Speaker 2: So during funerals, when somebody comes and gives a eulogy, they are saying good things, good words about this person.
Speaker 2: Now the word evangelism Evangelism, though there is a V there, in Greek it is a U Evangelize, it means to share good news.
Speaker 2: Though there's a V there, in Greek it is a U Evangelize, it means to share good news.
Speaker 2: So you, nike, means what Good victory, or great victory.
Speaker 2: That is Eunice, if you're here and your name is Eunice, now that's what your name means Hallelujah.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what Lois means in a short time.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what Timothy means in a short time.
Speaker 2: But Timothy had an amazing heritage, but when he connected with Paul, something began to happen in his life.
Speaker 2: So in Acts, chapter 18, verse 5, the Bible says when Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, to testify to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
Speaker 2: But when they opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them and then he said many things which were not very nice.
Speaker 2: Hello, but there's a verse, just go back.
Speaker 2: I think it is verse 4.
Speaker 2: Let me go to verse 4.
Speaker 2: Verse 4.
Speaker 2: Acts 18.4.
Speaker 2: Okay, every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.
Speaker 2: Okay, next verse, next verse, the next verse there he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla.
Speaker 2: Because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome, paul went to see them and because he was a tent maker, as they were, he stayed and worked with them and every Sabbath he reasoned with them.
Speaker 2: And because he was a tent maker, as they were, he stayed and worked with them and every Sabbath he reasoned with them.
Speaker 2: And then the next verse when Silas and who and Timothy came from Macedonia, paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, to testifying to the Jews, the Jesus of the Messiah.
Speaker 2: So Timothy is there again.
Speaker 2: Fast forward.
Speaker 2: Acts 19.
Speaker 2: The Bible finds Paul finds himself now in Ephesus.
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor, ephesus.
Speaker 2: While Apollos was at Corinth, paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus.
Speaker 2: There he found some disciples.
Speaker 2: Okay, he found disciples.
Speaker 2: Where was this Ephesus.
Speaker 2: Now fast forward it, kidogo, to verse 10.
Speaker 2: In verse 10 it says this this went on for two years so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord, and God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so that handkerchiefs and many things were beginning to happen.
Speaker 2: But there's something else.
Speaker 2: Just go to verse 9, because there's a name that I'm looking for, verse 9.
Speaker 2: It says but some of them became obstinate, they refused to believe and publicly maligned the way.
Speaker 2: So Paul left them.
Speaker 2: He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
Speaker 2: All right, now you've gone very far.
Speaker 2: Okay, verse 10.
Speaker 2: This went on for two years so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord.
Speaker 2: There's a verse I was looking for where he met Timothy.
Speaker 2: Okay, so Timothy was around there.
Speaker 2: Because I'm saying this to say this I'm saying this to say this Now, this is for Pastor Riggs.
Speaker 2: Timothy became the bishop of Ephesus because Paul left him there to sort out the issues.
Speaker 2: Timothy became the bishop of Ephesus Because Paul left him there to sort out the issues of Ephesus, and that is why this letter that was written to him was very key.
Speaker 2: Let me read these verses 1 Corinthians 16.
Speaker 2: So tell your neighbor, this is just a background.
Speaker 2: 2 Corinthians 16, verse 8 to 11,.
Speaker 2: The Bible says but I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost, because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.
Speaker 2: When Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of the Lord, just as I am.
Speaker 2: Amen, no one, then, should treat him with contempt.
Speaker 2: Send him on his way in peace, so that he may return to me.
Speaker 2: I'm expecting him, along with the brothers.
Speaker 2: And so Timothy was left in Ephesus to become the pastor in that city, and I want to tell you this that city was not an easy city to pastor, and that is why, at a certain time, timothy became very fearful, very scared, and so Paul, now in prison, had to keep telling him God has not given us a spirit of fear and a spirit of power, but a spirit of fear and a spirit of power, but a spirit of power and love and a sound mind, because Ephesus was a crazy place.
Speaker 2: In Ephesus that's where Paul says for we wrestle, not against flesh and blood, but principalities and powers and rulers of darkness.
Speaker 2: Now he's talking to the church, but their pastor is Timothy, and Timothy needed to develop a faith that was going to rulers of darkness.
Speaker 2: Now he's talking to the church, but their pastor is Timothy, and Timothy needed to develop a faith that was going to withstand those forces and that faith was going to cause him to be unbound and to serve freely.
Speaker 2: And, by the way, timothy served in that place for many years.
Speaker 2: Timothy lived to be 97 years old and died there, serving Jesus Christ in Ephesus.
Speaker 2: I want you to know that God has a destiny for you.
Speaker 2: And we are speaking to the young people, because Timothy was a young person and you're wondering how can you handle the situations of life?
Speaker 2: How can you deal with the situations of life?
Speaker 2: Is your faith able to handle the challenges that you face, even today?
Speaker 2: And so I want to share three things about the faith that was developed in this young man called Timothy.
Speaker 2: Number one the faith that is steadfast.
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor faith that is steadfast.
Speaker 2: Number two, faith that is processed.
Speaker 2: Just say it again with confidence.
Speaker 2: Faith that is processed.
Speaker 2: Just say it again with confidence, faith that is processed.
Speaker 2: And thirdly, faith that is inspired.
Speaker 2: And this is the faith that had to grow in this young man because Paul kept telling him I laid my hands on you, so don't be afraid, let me read that verse for you.
Speaker 2: 1 Timothy 1, verse 18.
Speaker 2: Again, paul encouraging him and telling him stand, stand.
Speaker 2: He says, Timothy, my son, I'm giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them them, you may fight the battle well, holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to faith.
Speaker 2: Paul is telling him have faith of the unbound.
Speaker 2: One time again, same chapter in chapter 4, verse 12.
Speaker 2: Again, paul is talking to Timothy.
Speaker 2: He's saying this, again encouraging him.
Speaker 2: He says don't let anyone look down on you, because you're what You're young.
Speaker 2: So look at anybody who is young just next to you.
Speaker 2: Look at them.
Speaker 2: I don't know where young, which year young starts, by the way, with my white hair.
Speaker 2: Do you think I'm young?
Speaker 2: I receive it in Jesus' name.
Speaker 2: Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
Speaker 2: Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of scripture, to preaching and to teaching.
Speaker 2: Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through the prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.
Speaker 2: Be diligent in these matters, give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.
Speaker 2: Hallelujah, that is Timothy.
Speaker 2: He's talking to us, not just to Timothy, but God is saying can your faith handle the situations of life today?
Speaker 2: Because without faith it is impossible to please God.
Speaker 2: It's impossible to please God.
Speaker 2: So let me start with the first one Faith.
Speaker 2: That is steadfast.
Speaker 2: And that's where I begin with the lady Lois.
Speaker 2: Lois was a grandmother, so let me read that verse in 2 Timothy 1.3.
Speaker 2: It talks about a grandmother.
Speaker 2: He says be diligent in these matters, give yourself wholly to them.
Speaker 2: Sorry, go back to 2 Timothy, sorry.
Speaker 2: 2 Timothy 1.3.
Speaker 2: I thank God, whom I serve as my ancestors and with a clear conscience, as night and day, I constantly remember you in my prayers, recalling your tears.
Speaker 2: I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.
Speaker 2: I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother, lois.
Speaker 2: That's why we are calling it steadfast, pastor Simon, that it was tried and tested.
Speaker 2: I pray that your faith has been tried and tested.
Speaker 2: There is this grandmother who stood her time, who stood her season, and her faith was strong and steadfast.
Speaker 2: And then that faith was able to be given out to Eunice and from Eunice to Timothy.
Speaker 2: The word lois means more desirable, hallelujah More desirable, hallelujah More desirable.
Speaker 2: In other words, this faith is more desirable Because without this faith it is impossible to do what To please God and Lois' faith was tested and tried.
Speaker 2: And it reminds me of another guy whose faith was tested and tried.
Speaker 2: His name is Abraham.
Speaker 2: Let me read those verses Romans, chapter 4, verse 19 and 20.
Speaker 2: He says, without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead, since he was about 100 years old, and that Sarah's womb was also dead.
Speaker 2: Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
Speaker 2: You see, this faith is connected to the promises of God and standing here because I stand also as a grandfather Thank you Jesus, hallelujah.
Speaker 2: And Martha is a shosho this faith that I'm talking about as a grandfather has been tested and tried.
Speaker 2: I got saved at 16 years of age and grew in my faith.
Speaker 2: The faith I had that time was not the faith I have today.
Speaker 2: There were some situations that time that would really distract me and put me off.
Speaker 2: But step by step that faith grew, that faith developed, that faith was strengthened and standing today, I can say I have faith that was tested and tried.
Speaker 2: And if I pass this faith out, I know that the person who is receiving it can lean on it, can rely on it.
Speaker 2: Hallelujah, let's give God a big hand and bless His Holy Name.
Speaker 2: And so if I fail now in my faith, it would not be God's problem, it would be my own stupid problem, hello.
Speaker 2: It would be just me not holding on to this faith.
Speaker 2: The Bible says have the God kind of faith.
Speaker 2: This faith of God has been tried and tested, and so many times.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you face a situation and you buckle so fast and you wonder, why did you buckle so fast?
Speaker 2: And God's promises are yes and amen, and that is why the word of God must be so key in your life.
Speaker 2: No wonder Paul said to Timothy all scripture is inspired by God, profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully equipped, ready for every good work.
Speaker 2: Let your roots enter into the scriptures, because faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God, hallelujah, faith that has been tried and tested.
Speaker 2: And Paul had gone through so much challenge, so much trouble, and Timothy saw him, because in chapter 16, by the way, chapter 16, when Timothy just started following Jesus, following Paul.
Speaker 2: Chapter 16 is when Paul and Silas were thrown where, into prison, and he saw the faith of these two guys when they believed God and there was an earthquake and they came out and a Philippian jailer got saved.
Speaker 2: He saw the faith of these guys and Paul is saying have that faith, the one that your grandmother had Tested, steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.
Speaker 2: And it's my prayer that, regardless of what happens in the UK, in the US, in Africa, concerning economies, concerning politics, all these things that have names will pass away.
Speaker 2: There is only one name that will not pass away.
Speaker 2: It's the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2: And so don't lean on those things, don't lean for those brothers of ours who are in the US, don't get stuck with the Democrats and don't get stuck with the Republicans and don't get stuck with the other and don't get stuck with the Republicans and don't get stuck with the other ones in between, hallelujah, because there's a kingdom that is steadfast, there's a kingdom that holds us together.
Speaker 2: So don't be swayed by this.
Speaker 2: Then, another day, swayed by that, lock your faith in the kingdom of God.
Speaker 2: Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
Speaker 2: There's one time my faith and Martha's faith was shaken.
Speaker 2: We had just gotten married, thank you, jesus.
Speaker 2: And then Martha got pregnant.
Speaker 2: Got pregnant, hallelujah, the early days, because us, we did not take a long time to get children, they just arrived.
Speaker 2: Then one day, martha went I think there was a blood test and things like that and then she got results at Nairobi Hospital and she was told that she was HIV positive.
Speaker 2: Those were the days that HIV was a crazy thing.
Speaker 2: It was a death sentence.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you this when Martha came home and told me what had happened and what she had tested in my mind.
Speaker 2: I know that many things happen in your brain.
Speaker 2: Things rush so fast in your brain and so the first thing she comes and tells me this, of course she burst out crying.
Speaker 2: She landed on me.
Speaker 2: I grabbed her.
Speaker 2: I just held her.
Speaker 2: She cried like she had never cried before because she knew this was a death sentence.
Speaker 2: She was finished.
Speaker 2: But in my head I'm saying, but also in her head she's saying this pastor, I married.
Speaker 2: It's questionable.
Speaker 2: There were crazy things going on in my mind.
Speaker 2: You know, when the devil hits you with a pass you did not expect, your faith is shaken to the core.
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, for three days, martha it was about three days it was a rough time she would go to work.
Speaker 2: She was working in Nairobi Hospital at that time in the accounts department.
Speaker 2: I'm a pastor.
Speaker 2: Those three days were crazy days.
Speaker 2: Our faith was tested to the core.
Speaker 2: We were doubting each other.
Speaker 2: We were praying for each other, but in the meantime we were saying, god, this cannot be true, because you know us.
Speaker 2: We have lived right.
Speaker 2: She was later called.
Speaker 2: You are called Uko, I'm trying to make sure that I have the right details, but let me just summarize that she was called to be told that they were going to redo.
Speaker 2: They were going to redo the same blood and they found it was not.
Speaker 2: There was no HIV.
Speaker 2: Now, before you start clapping, let me just say what happened.
Speaker 2: Somebody had mixed the blood samples and changed the blood samples For whatever reason, we don't know, but the devil is a liar.
Speaker 2: Somebody better give God a big hand and tell the devil is a liar.
Speaker 2: The devil is a liar.
Speaker 2: But those three days when she found out that she was not HIV positive, I told myself she was relieved.
Speaker 2: I was relieved, but for three days our faith was tested and tried.
Speaker 2: Those are the things that can break a marriage just like that and people go their own way and completely doubt the integrity of the other person.
Speaker 2: But I want to tell you this Forget what we went through.
Speaker 2: Some of you have gone through certain situations and your faith has been tested and tried, but you kept on believing God.
Speaker 2: You kept on believing God.
Speaker 2: You said God, you're still God.
Speaker 2: God, you're still on the throne.
Speaker 2: God, there is no one like you.
Speaker 2: God, you're the God of Israel.
Speaker 2: You're the God of Abraham, isaac and Jacob.
Speaker 2: You don't change from everlasting to everlasting.
Speaker 2: You're God.
Speaker 2: You see, you're fighting what we call the battle of faith and your faith is tested and tried, and thank God.
Speaker 2: We went through that situation.
Speaker 2: But there were other situations that came in Martha's own life, in my own life.
Speaker 2: But today we stand here and say we have a steadfast faith.
Speaker 2: We have a faith that is strong and steadfast.
Speaker 2: Lois had that kind of faith.
Speaker 2: No wonder she was able to pass it to Eunice.
Speaker 2: And that's where I'm going now the faith that is processed, the faith that is processed.
Speaker 2: For Eunice, it was the faith that is processed, the faith that is processed For Eunice.
Speaker 2: It was a faith that was processed, faith that was planted and faith that became fruitful.
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor, your faith must be planted and your faith must become fruitful.
Speaker 2: One time Jesus asked the disciples.
Speaker 2: The disciples actually asked him a question.
Speaker 2: So I want to read what they told Jesus.
Speaker 2: Luke, chapter 17, verse 5 to 6.
Speaker 2: The Bible says this the apostles said to the Lord Increase our faith Now.
Speaker 2: Don't go before that, just stay there.
Speaker 2: So ask your neighbor have you ever prayed a prayer like that?
Speaker 2: Increase my faith, increase our faith, increase our faith.
Speaker 2: Now, this is not a good prayer.
Speaker 2: Never ask God to increase your faith.
Speaker 2: So look at your neighbor one more time and tell them.
Speaker 2: Did you hear what Pastor just said?
Speaker 2: So Jesus now gives them an answer about faith.
Speaker 2: Faith is not just increased.
Speaker 2: He said this.
Speaker 2: Look at the next verse.
Speaker 2: He replied.
Speaker 2: He said if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree be uprooted and planted in the sea and it will obey you.
Speaker 2: Pastor Simon, do you know what he was saying?
Speaker 2: A mustard seed is very small.
Speaker 2: A mustard seed is nothing until what happens it is planted.
Speaker 2: You don't increase the seed.
Speaker 2: You allow the seed to be the seed.
Speaker 2: But if it is going to increase, it has to be what Planted.
Speaker 2: In other words, faith that is processed.
Speaker 2: It has to go through a process Faith that is planted.
Speaker 2: He says hey, I'm not going to increase your faith.
Speaker 2: You plant the faith that you already have.
Speaker 2: I wrote something about this faith and I said this the small mustard seed contains unlimited divine potential locked into it.
Speaker 2: When planted in good, positive soil, the potential in it is unlocked and bound and becomes unstoppable.
Speaker 2: Faith unleashed has explosive power and transformative energy.
Speaker 2: Faith that is not planted remains the way it is for a long time.
Speaker 2: Look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor do you have faith?
Speaker 2: Just tell them, plant it and see it grow, see it develop.
Speaker 2: And for Eunice no wonder she was called you Nike good, great victory.
Speaker 2: Because victory is not just found like that.
Speaker 2: When guys go into the ring, there are some fights that take one second.
Speaker 2: A guy stands there the first punch, he knocks the guy out.
Speaker 2: But there are some fights that go for 15 rounds, this way and that way, this way and that way.
Speaker 2: And, by the way, their fight did not start in the ring.
Speaker 2: Their fight started in the gym.
Speaker 2: And in the gym they processed and developed their strength.
Speaker 2: They ran with weights on their feet, they ran uphill, downhill.
Speaker 2: They sparred with guys who were bigger than them, building their strength.
Speaker 2: By the time they're entering the ring, their strength has been processed.
Speaker 2: Look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor don't enter the ring before you go to the gym.
Speaker 2: Somebody is saying what is a gym?
Speaker 2: I'm telling you now Don't enter the ring before you have gone through the ring.
Speaker 2: Don't enter a fight if you have not gone through a process.
Speaker 2: No wonder some of us, our faith becomes very fickle, breaks so fast.
Speaker 2: It has never been processed, and it is my prayer that, in Jesus' name, if you're going to have victory, you have to be processed Now.
Speaker 2: Now let me show you how Paul talked about this processing of that faith.
Speaker 2: Go to Romans, chapter 8, verse and I'm just going to now tie this down, because somebody is going to experience faith of the unbound Romans 8, verse 32, and I'll pick it from there because it is processed.
Speaker 2: And so it says this Romans 8.
Speaker 2: He who did not spare his own son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Speaker 2: Now look at the next verse.
Speaker 2: Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen?
Speaker 2: It is God who justifies.
Speaker 2: Who, then, is the one who condemns?
Speaker 2: No one.
Speaker 2: Christ Jesus, who died More than that, who was raised to life, is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
Speaker 2: Then he says who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Speaker 2: Shall trouble?
Speaker 2: Now, these are the things.
Speaker 2: Now process your faith.
Speaker 2: Shall trouble.
Speaker 2: What's the answer?
Speaker 2: No, hardship, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger.
Speaker 2: Then it says, as it is written for your sake.
Speaker 2: We face death all day we are considered a sheep to be slaughtered.
Speaker 2: No, in all these things we are more than Nike.
Speaker 2: We are more than conquerors, through him who loved us.
Speaker 2: And then he says this the other things that challenged him.
Speaker 2: For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, neither angels, no demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
Speaker 2: His faith was processed.
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor your faith must be processed, was processed.
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor your faith must be processed.
Speaker 2: But some of us are just a fly.
Speaker 2: A fly passes by you, faint.
Speaker 2: You are retrenched.
Speaker 2: You faint.
Speaker 2: Your girlfriend writes your letter and says I don't love you anymore.
Speaker 2: What happens?
Speaker 2: I don't know what you said.
Speaker 2: Maybe you enter into a tantrum.
Speaker 2: You say Waka, ende, waka ende Kuna fish wengi kwa pa Allah.
Speaker 2: Then you stop going to church, you stop reading your Bible.
Speaker 2: Ah, my friend, are those the things that make your faith crumble?
Speaker 2: Faith processed.
Speaker 2: Somebody hit you at the parking lot, my friend.
Speaker 2: The anointing that was in church leaves and your faith is just being tested.
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor steadfast faith, processed faith.
Speaker 2: Don't falter, don't fallise and shine.
Speaker 2: Your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
Speaker 2: And so Paul was telling Timothy Timothy, your mother communicated this faith to you.
Speaker 2: She's great, she's a great victorious person, she's a warrior, and so carry that faith with you.
Speaker 2: And now that it is with you, I want to say the third point.
Speaker 2: It is faith that is inspired.
Speaker 2: What is the first one?
Speaker 2: Faith that is Steadfast.
Speaker 2: The second one faith that is Processed.
Speaker 2: And now the faith that is Inspired, inspired Faith that revives, and faith that realigns, faith that is inspired.
Speaker 2: So let me read that verse one more time.
Speaker 2: I hadn't read it, but let me now read it.
Speaker 2: But it will be somebody else preaching about it, but let me just read it.
Speaker 2: 2 Timothy 1, verse 6 and 7.
Speaker 2: Because this is the stir up we are talking about.
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor, stir up.
Speaker 2: It says.
Speaker 2: For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for the spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
Speaker 2: Let me read it in the amplified version, those two verses six and seven.
Speaker 2: That is why I remind you to fan into flame the gracious gift of God, that inner fire.
Speaker 2: Pastor Simon has been talking about fire, that inner fire, the special endowment which is in you through the laying on of my hands with all of the elders, at your ordination, for God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but he has given us a spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind Amen.
Speaker 2: And he goes on to say judgment and personal discipline, abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control.
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor I have that spirit.
Speaker 2: Tell the other neighbor I have that spirit.
Speaker 2: Now there's a neighbor who is not believing you, so just tell them one more time I have that spirit, pastor Simon, what has made me go through life non-stop is because that spirit landed on me many years ago.
Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit came upon me, stirred me up.
Speaker 2: That Spirit has fueled me, caused me to be on fire, no matter what happens, no matter what comes.
Speaker 2: And sometimes I don't feel the fire and then God says stir up, stir up.
Speaker 2: Just tell your neighbor.
Speaker 2: Stir up, hallelujah.
Speaker 2: Tell the other neighbor who is so stiff, stir up.
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor, stop being so dignified, tell your neighbor stir up, stir up this gift.
Speaker 2: That is why fire.
Speaker 2: You know, when there's a fire in front of you, you don't sit still.
Speaker 2: You don't sit still.
Speaker 2: Hello, stir up, stir up.
Speaker 2: And this fire of revival is being poured out this week into your life.
Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, come on, let's give God a big hand, but let me show you what this fire does.
Speaker 2: Hebrews, chapter 11, verse 32 to 34.
Speaker 2: That faith that makes things happen.
Speaker 2: And what more shall I say?
Speaker 2: For time will fail me if I tell you of Gideon, barak, samson, jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets who, by faith, that is, with an enduring trust in God and his promises, subdued what Kingdoms, Administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouth of lions, extinguished the power of raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword.
Speaker 2: Out of weakness, were made strong, became mighty.
Speaker 2: That's the spirit you have, I'm saying, that's the faith you have.
Speaker 2: Hallelujah, so stir up.
Speaker 2: Hallelujah, stir up, stir up.
Speaker 2: So stir up, hallelujah, stir up, because God has given you permission to release power, god has given you permission to command purpose, god has given you permission to declare vision, he has given you permission to enable order, he has given you permission to authenticate victory.
Speaker 2: And so Paul is saying this this faith was in Lois, then it came to Eunice.
Speaker 2: Now it is where, in you, resident, in you, that faith that says to a mountain move from here to there.
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 2: Because it was steadfast faith, it was processed faith, and now it is in inspired faith.
Speaker 2: May that be your portion.
Speaker 2: I'm saying may that be your portion, and I know that the obstacles that are in front of you, regardless of what they are, whether it is sickness, whether it is joblessness, whether it is just mountains that seem to recur in your life every time, tonight something will shift, because something will change in your life.
Speaker 2: God is giving you a new faith.
Speaker 2: Come on, somebody.
Speaker 2: God is giving you a new faith.
Speaker 2: God is giving you a new faith, amen, a faith that is steadfast, a faith that is processed and a faith that is inspired.
Speaker 2: Shall we stand on our feet.
Speaker 2: And as we stand on our feet, let me say this Pastor Simon, if we are going to have this kind of faith, three things are key, important we must be determined, we must be intentional and we must be persistent.
Speaker 2: So let me say that again Don't take your faith casually and just say one day, when I need faith.
Speaker 2: It will show up One day when faith I need it.
Speaker 2: It will show up.
Speaker 2: No, right now.
Speaker 2: Be determined, intentional and persistent in seeing that your faith becomes steadfast, processed and inspired.
Speaker 2: Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Speaker 2: We have given you testimonies about our children and how I think it was.
Speaker 2: Last year we went to the US to take Lisa to a university, john Hopkins, and even as we were taking her, we had no idea how much the fees is, but we knew it was quite humongous.
Speaker 2: But in our heads we were saying anyway, the Lord will just guide us, the Lord will lead us.
Speaker 2: But then, in that time of trial and testing and still wondering how will this, how will we make it?
Speaker 2: Because sometimes you ask yourself how will I make it?
Speaker 2: The faith God has given you is bigger than you think.
Speaker 2: It's stronger than you can imagine.
Speaker 2: If you can just plant it and see it grow, it is going to help you to stand all kinds of things, hallelujah.
Speaker 2: Stand all kinds of things, hallelujah, all kinds of things.
Speaker 2: And God is a faithful God.
Speaker 2: Faith, faith.
Speaker 2: And then the day that came we did not expect this and she was given a scholarship that blew our minds.
Speaker 2: Blew our minds Right now.
Speaker 2: She has now finished six months, about six, seven months, graduating next year.
Speaker 2: And so we look at our children and say may the faith daddy and mommy has be transferred into you.
Speaker 2: May we not die without faith.
Speaker 2: May that faith be transferred into you.
Speaker 2: And these children look at us when they see us in those hard moments.
Speaker 2: They look at us and how we are going to behave ourselves, how we are going to deal with issues.
Speaker 2: Sometimes that faith is very challenging.
Speaker 2: One time I woke up and Martha was kind of like a little girl and they were on the phone with Lisa.
Speaker 2: Hey, what is it?
Speaker 2: What has happened?
Speaker 2: Oh, where is it?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 2: Where are you?
Speaker 2: I'm standing on a couch.
Speaker 2: What has happened?
Speaker 2: Where is it?
Speaker 2: Where are you?
Speaker 2: I'm standing on a couch, what has happened?
Speaker 2: And I'm listening and I heard there's a rat in the house and these two talked on the phone for a long time dealing with a rat.
Speaker 2: Their faith was challenged and I think Martha Lisa was trying to figure out is Martha's faith strong enough to handle a rat thousands of miles away.
Speaker 2: So I woke up and I said, I said I said, hey, tell Lisa, just to relax, the rat will find its way out.
Speaker 2: Martha said how?
Speaker 2: And you know they're on video call so they're she's showing the whole way it came in and where it's supposed to go.
Speaker 2: And you know there are some things you are not supposed to see.
Speaker 2: Just believe God blindly.
Speaker 2: Now do you know why there are some things you are not supposed to see?
Speaker 2: Just believe God blindly.
Speaker 2: Now do you know why I'm not scared of rats?
Speaker 2: Because one day I was sleeping, many years ago, before we got married, staying in this land, and then suddenly something walked over me and I opened my eyes and guess what?
Speaker 2: It was a rat.
Speaker 2: And then suddenly something walked over me and I opened my eyes and guess what?
Speaker 2: It was a rat.
Speaker 2: And I looked at it and I said please don't bother me.
Speaker 2: But you know, some people are allergic to some things.
Speaker 2: For some people it is a rat, for me it could be a mosquito or many other things.
Speaker 2: But our children watch us how we handle issues and their faith is developed as they see us.
Speaker 2: Hallelujah, they see us.
Speaker 2: Is your faith transferable?
Speaker 2: Can somebody catch your faith and say mom had this faith, I will have the same faith, my uncle this faith.
Speaker 2: I will have the same faith.
Speaker 2: My uncle had this faith.
Speaker 2: I'll have the same faith and I pray that, in Jesus' name, you will not cause your faith to falter because somebody's watching you.
Speaker 2: Somebody's watching you.
Speaker 2: You know, as a senior pastor, many of you watch me all the time.
Speaker 2: You watch how I handle situations and circumstances, because if my faith falters there'll be a ripple effect that a lot of your faith will do.
Speaker 2: What Will falter?
Speaker 2: There are times Pastor Simon has to look up to me and figure out is my faith that strong?
Speaker 2: Because faith is contagious, just like fear is contagious, just like fear is contagious.
Speaker 2: Talked about Lisa.
Speaker 2: Caleb is the other one.
Speaker 2: For years Caleb was not studying, she was not studying and the mother used to tell Kaleb, kaleb, soma.
Speaker 2: And Kaleb would just lay back, just say, ma'am, it's Soma.
Speaker 2: When he did his class eight wanted to go to Lenana school.
Speaker 2: Kaleb did not get the marks to go to Lenana school.
Speaker 2: Caleb did not get the marks to go to Lenana school.
Speaker 2: But he looked at dad and said dad, I know you have connections, you have connections.
Speaker 2: And Martha stamped it and said yes, you know these principles, I said but people go with marks.
Speaker 2: These marks, they're no good, but they trusted in me.
Speaker 2: They believed in me and I'm telling you, I was looking for a place where I could, and I'm telling you, but I didn't find.
Speaker 2: But you know one thing I prayed.
Speaker 2: I said God, this boy wants to go to Linnana, but I don't know how Martha had some connections.
Speaker 2: We tried them.
Speaker 2: They said, god, this boy wants to go to Lenana, but I don't know how.
Speaker 2: Martha had some connections.
Speaker 2: We tried them.
Speaker 2: They said you wait, we'll come through for you one of these days, but you wait.
Speaker 2: Do you know?
Speaker 2: Every time I would come home, martha is looking at me with a certain eye.
Speaker 2: You found him.
Speaker 2: Then one day Martha is called and said there's a letter of admission that has come for Lenana School.
Speaker 2: And Caleb went to Lenana School the day he arrived.
Speaker 2: The next day they went for half term.
Speaker 2: In other words, he had stayed for so long Waiting.
Speaker 2: But daddy had steadfast faith, he had processed faith and he was just watching me and looking at me.
Speaker 2: But then Caleb went to school and you know his story In form one, he had his highest marks, but from two, all the marks started going down, down, down down Until form four.
Speaker 2: This boy is not studying.
Speaker 2: One time he nearly left school in form two and our faith was tested.
Speaker 2: This boy wants to just leave.
Speaker 2: How can he leave?
Speaker 2: But, thank God, in form four, caleb surprised us and he just said Dad, mom, I'm going to make this thing come through.
Speaker 2: A certain faith held him.
Speaker 2: He says Mom, give me some, what are they called In form three, tuition.
Speaker 2: Faith has legs.
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor, faith has legs.
Speaker 2: So put him tuition.
Speaker 2: One day he said Mom, I think I've got it, I'm going to go through this.
Speaker 2: And our faith?
Speaker 2: I told Caleb Caleb, if you can just get a C Because you are in the E area, and I know what that E means, because one time I had an E Now, caleb, just try your best and just go to a D and just go beyond that D and just go to a D and just go beyond that D and just go to a C, and that will be fine for us.
Speaker 2: Caleb did his exams and there was no E, there was no D, there was no C.
Speaker 2: Caleb got a B+.
Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
Speaker 2: He was called to technical university to do mechanical engineering.
Speaker 2: He was such excited parents oh, hallelujah, jehovah, god, you have seen us, seen us.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, the boy who was down here is up here, my God you uphold.
Speaker 2: That boy was in college for about three months.
Speaker 2: He said I don't want this college, I don't want to do mechanical engineering.
Speaker 2: I was about to tell Martha your boy, talk to your boy when your faith is tested.
Speaker 2: That boy left.
Speaker 2: He left Then found another college of film production, admi, and Caleb took another, completely different route and did film.
Speaker 2: Later he started doing Forex You're laughing.
Speaker 2: We were even recruited into the forex situation.
Speaker 2: He and his friend started a forex academy.
Speaker 2: He's online.
Speaker 2: Just go to Financial Hub.
Speaker 2: You'll find Caleb there.
Speaker 2: Martha kept telling him.
Speaker 2: By the way, caleb, go back to school.
Speaker 2: Makaratasi, lazima, ukwena, makaratasi.
Speaker 2: Caleb is wondering what makaratasi and I've gone so far.
Speaker 2: I'm doing very well.
Speaker 2: The parents faith can be tested and tried through our children.
Speaker 2: But I'm talking to some parents today that God has given you a faith that can withstand a storm in Jesus name.
Speaker 2: Can withstand a storm in Jesus name Can withstand a storm.
Speaker 2: So, juicy, juicy, caleb decides to go to Deista to check if he can get some courses.
Speaker 2: So he arrives there with his wife Tell your neighbor hallelujah, and they're looking at him, they're telling him, but you're too late, too late.
Speaker 2: People arrived here and they are doing their things.
Speaker 2: You're late.
Speaker 2: The guy is looking at his papers and then he says but because of my friend, I will let you go through.
Speaker 2: Caleb said which friend.
Speaker 2: He looks at him and says you're Caleb Nyangao, he's your father, reverend Ambrose Nyangao.
Speaker 2: He says yes, that's my friend, caleb Alingia.
Speaker 2: Reverend Ambrose Nyangau says yes, that's my friend.
Speaker 2: Right now in fact, we left him today he is high as cats, serious cats.
Speaker 2: He's back to school, back to school with a baby in the house.
Speaker 2: Hello, very soon they might be studying together.
Speaker 2: But let me tell you this it doesn't matter how long it takes, your faith will take you through.
Speaker 2: Your faith will take you through.
Speaker 2: So, martha and I, our faith has been tested, but we are praying that from our faith Lisa will catch it, caleb will catch it and then Alan Jr will catch it that this faith will be passed on, because it is a faith that never fails.
Speaker 2: It is a faith that endures all kinds of situations.
Speaker 2: It is a faith that comes from the kingdom of God, standing on the promises of God, not on sinking sand, but on the solid rock that is Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2: Sorry for giving you these stories, but it's just to illustrate to you that we have a faith that you can depend on.
Speaker 2: Hallelujah, we have a faith that you can depend on.
Speaker 2: And so, as I pray and as we take some time to pray and that's why I said we have to begin to be determined, intentional and persistent in how we grow this faith Maybe you're here, you have never even taken the first step.
Speaker 2: You're not born again, you're not saved.
Speaker 2: It's my prayer that tonight, in this revival, you'll start there.
Speaker 2: You must be born again.
Speaker 2: And so, if you're here and you have never given your life to Christ, because we're just about to now pray, if you could.
Speaker 2: This is now my instruction If you're not saved, born again.
Speaker 2: Maybe you got saved, but right now you doubt your salvation.
Speaker 2: I want you to step out of that seat, come up and belly.
Speaker 2: I'll pray for you and then, after that, I'll pray for the rest of us in terms of this faith that is steadfast, processed and inspired.
Speaker 2: But just for those guys who are not saved, not born again, come and inspire.
Speaker 2: But just for those guys who are not saved, not born again.
Speaker 2: Come Worship team, just lead us in a song, briefly, and then we'll give these people a chance to step forward and just get that issue of faith ticked authentic Amen.
Speaker 3: Because you're with me.
Speaker 2: Because you're with me come if you're with me.
Speaker 3: Because you're with me, come, come, if you're that person, just come.
Speaker 3: Because you're with me, because you're with me, because you're with me, because you're with me, I will not fear.
Speaker 3: I will not fear.
Speaker 3: Because you're with me, because you're with me, because you're with me, because you're with me, because you're with me, jesus, because you're with me, because you're with me, I will not fear.
Speaker 3: I will not fear.
Speaker 3: Oh, you are my hiding place, my safe refuge, you're my treasure.
Speaker 3: Lord, you are my friend and King.
Speaker 3: Anointed one most holy, you are the most holy one, my hiding place, my safe refuge, my treasure.
Speaker 3: Lord, you are my friend and king anointed.
Speaker 2: Most holy, most holy, most holy.
Speaker 2: Thank you, lord.
Speaker 2: Maybe you're standing there saying Ambrose, maybe not tonight, but we are saying stir up, stir up.
Speaker 2: It's a free gift.
Speaker 2: Our pastors and deacons are here and we pray that you'll take an opportunity to come.
Speaker 2: This is your week.
Speaker 2: Don't let it pass you.
Speaker 2: This is a revival season.
Speaker 2: I want to pray now for us who have doubted the kind of faith we have, who are even wondering can our faith be transferable?
Speaker 2: Or have we failed our children, our colleagues in the office because of our faith?
Speaker 2: Our faith was not steadfast, our faith was not processed and our faith was not inspired.
Speaker 2: In this revival season, the Holy Spirit is coming to inspire you, like Timothy through the ages of his life, as he saw the mother and the grandmother.
Speaker 2: And I know all of us have something that we can tell God today Renew our faith.
Speaker 2: Revive our faith.
Speaker 2: Not just increase our faith but, lord, let the faith we have, let us plant it.
Speaker 2: Let us plant it into this marketplace.
Speaker 2: Let us take a step of obedience into the marketplace.
Speaker 2: Let us step into a place where we can say Lord, let my faith grow, let my faith glow, let my faith go where it has never gone before.
Speaker 2: And I believe I want to just pray a prayer of dedication for us, that we will rededicate our faith and say, lord, touch us again.
Speaker 2: And if you are with me, you are that kind of a person, wherever you are, because God is going to see you.
Speaker 2: I want you to lift up your hand, because I want you to begin to decide that you are going to be determined, intentional and persistent In causing your faith To be where it's supposed to be.
Speaker 2: So lift up your hand as I pray for you, pray for us that your faith will shift.
Speaker 2: Your faith will shift.
Speaker 2: That hand up there is not just for me, it is for God to connect with you those situations in your life.
Speaker 2: We don't know what they are, but God is about to give you more than a conqueror's faith.
Speaker 2: God is about to shift your situation in a way he has never shifted.
Speaker 2: I'm talking to you who are online in the name of Jesus, in the house, maybe at your workplace, in America, in Canada, in Australia, in Europe, in the UK.
Speaker 2: I'm speaking to you in the continent of Africa.
Speaker 2: Lift up that hand also.
Speaker 2: And if you're not born again and you'd like to be born again, please send a message to our online platform and somebody will get to you.
Speaker 2: But right now I'm talking about that faith and I want to pray for that faith that you shall have the faith of the unbound, that God will give you permission, permission to release your power, permission to command purposes, permission to declare vision, permission to enable order to happen, permission to authenticate your victory.
Speaker 2: Father, you are seeing these hands lifted up, hallelujah and Holy Spirit.
Speaker 2: I know you're seeing these hands lifted up, hallelujah and Holy Spirit.
Speaker 2: I know you're in the house.
Speaker 2: You came into this house before we even walked here, because prayer has been made for this week.
Speaker 2: And Holy Spirit, like it was said to Timothy, for God has not given us a spirit of timidity, god has not given us a spirit of fear, but he has given us a spirit of power and love and a sound mind, and that is through the faith that Timothy received.
Speaker 2: And now, lord, we are not in Timothy's time, we are in this time, lord, facing 21st century challenges.
Speaker 2: And, lord, I'm lifting my hand too, as I lift my hand with my brothers and sisters, those online and those who are here, and I say Lord, cause our faith to be steadfast, cause our faith to be steadfast, cause our faith to be processed and cause our faith to be inspired so that, lord, we can be free to fulfill your purposes on earth, unbound in every sector of our life.
Speaker 2: And, lord, even as we have begun this week, tonight we have created the foundation.
Speaker 2: The Lord, the gates are now wide open because faith is being ignited in our lives.
Speaker 2: Now, holy Spirit, come Now, lift up your hand, just lift up your hand now.
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, come Now, lift up your hand, just lift up your hand now.
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, come, we are staring you, staring you in us.
Speaker 2: Come, we rededicate our lives to you, we surrender our faith to you.
Speaker 2: There were days we doubted.
Speaker 2: There are.
Speaker 2: Some of us Completely became unbelievers Because of the challenges and the situations we doubted.
Speaker 2: Some of us completely became unbelievers because of the challenges and the situations we have faced.
Speaker 2: We even abandoned the Word of God and said, no, god doesn't exist.
Speaker 2: But tonight we are saying, just the way you were with Timothy now come upon us, give us faith that is kingdom based, that is Bible based, that is spirit inspired.
Speaker 2: So come upon us, because this week, the people who know their God, they shall be strong and they shall do exploits.
Speaker 2: I'm talking to you.
Speaker 2: I be strong and they shall do exploits.
Speaker 2: I'm talking to you, I'm saying you're going to do exploits.
Speaker 2: Receive it now, in the name of Jesus.
Speaker 2: Now give God a big hand and just tell him thank you.
Speaker 2: Come on, somebody, give God thanks, hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Speaker 2: Now, please be seated briefly, look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor.
Speaker 2: May God revive us, may God refresh us, may God restore us, may God realign us.
Speaker 2: May God restore us.
Speaker 2: May God realign us, may God renew us.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was Pastor Simon.
Speaker 2: We talked about this, I believe, park, and we're encouraging each one of you to take one and reach somebody else.
Speaker 2: This is just a hundred shillings invested in somebody's life.
Speaker 2: There are four cards in here, life-changing cards, and you can give it to your neighbor, your boss, whoever it is, and let the word of God reach out to somebody.
Speaker 2: As I'm about to go down, simon, are you coming up?
Speaker 2: Who is coming up?
Speaker 2: So you want me to tell them Now.
Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor.
Speaker 2: Pastor Simon's faith is being processed and it's about to be inspired.
Speaker 2: But he mentioned something which is very good that immediately after this service, there is a cup of tea for every one of you.
Speaker 2: Oh, you don't like tea?
Speaker 2: The Bible says come for tea.
Speaker 2: Come for tea, my people and those who don't take tea don't worry.
Speaker 2: The Bible says he brews.
Speaker 2: So coffee is also somewhere.
Speaker 2: But, pastor Simon, I believe something special is being ignited tonight.
Speaker 2: There is something you said on Sunday that revival is something that God does Not by gimmicks, not by anything.
Speaker 2: It is God who justicks, not by anything.
Speaker 2: It is God who, just suddenly, a divine activity and I really appreciated that message on Sunday has opened these doors and I believe that this week, starting tonight, there are people's homes that are beginning going to change.
Speaker 2: There is fire that is going to begin to move in people's lives in the name of Jesus and, pastor Simon, you know we mentioned some names here and so, before I go down and you make those announcements, the people called Eunice, lois and Timothy Stand up.
Speaker 2: Some of you are missing your miracle.
Speaker 2: Just stand up.
Speaker 2: Your father may be called Timothy.
Speaker 2: Stand up.
Speaker 2: Your mother may be called Eunice.
Speaker 2: Stand up because a miracle is coming their way in Jesus name, hallelujah.
Speaker 2: Up, because a miracle is coming their way in Jesus name, hallelujah.
Speaker 2: I did not want to talk about cousins, but I want to tell you this Somebody is about to be touched.
Speaker 2: When God mentions some names, it's not just done just that way and I want you to lift up your hand, because I want God's miracle for you to come through now, in Jesus name.
Speaker 2: Just lift up your hands, wherever you are, in the name of Jesus.
Speaker 2: The Timothys in the name of Jesus, the Eunices in the name of Jesus, the Lois, the Loises, the maybe grandmothers, mothers, brothers, timothy, wherever they are.
Speaker 2: Father, do a miracle, do a miracle, do a miracle.
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, whatever it is, they are trusting you for.
Speaker 2: We declare it done In Jesus' name.
Speaker 2: Amen.
Speaker 2: Receive it Amen.
Speaker 2: Godive it Amen.
Speaker 2: God bless you.
Speaker 4: Let's give a hand to the Lord and appreciate the servant of God.
Speaker 4: Reverend Ambrose Nyangao, we bless the Lord for that great message.
Speaker 4: I believe we have received it.
Speaker 4: I also believe we shall multiply it.
Speaker 4: So, tonight, reflect through the message In the morning you get to your office or school, or even at home for the young people of just close school.
Speaker 4: Share that message with those people who have not been able to come.
Speaker 4: That is the faith of the unbound already released, and we've been given the dimensions of this faith and I pray that we shall catch each one of them.
Speaker 4: Figure out which area or aspect of your faith needs to grow and run with it.
Speaker 4: Do everything you can to cause it to grow.
Speaker 4: And I really like the fact, pastor Ambrose, you shared from your own testimony, and for that reason we are listening to a man and a woman, his wife, who is here, whose faith has been tested and tried and yet it's come through.
Speaker 4: There's one scripture you put on the screen Romans 4, I think it was verse 18, 19, 19 and 20.
Speaker 4: And I really have taken that home the faith of Abraham For me.
Speaker 4: I'm going home saying I want to have the faith like that of Abraham, and you know faith of Abraham.
Speaker 4: Faith did not waver.
Speaker 4: I mean, abraham did not waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong, fully persuaded that God was able to do that which he promised.
Speaker 4: So at Sparklands Baptist Church, we have a great heritage and those who are following internationally, I want you to know, in Pastor Ambrose and his wife, mother, we have a great heritage and, just like you, shared from Lois to Eunice to Timothy.
Speaker 4: We are receiving in Jesus' name.
Speaker 4: This revival has started very well.
Speaker 4: We are receiving in Jesus' name.
Speaker 4: This revival has started very well, very well, very well.
Speaker 4: This is wonderful.
Speaker 4: And that torch of revival, the flame is burning.
Speaker 4: I don't know whether it's being shown somewhere, somewhere it is burning and the fire is on To Kienda Nyumbani.
Speaker 4: Let's keep that fire, let's share it with somebody else.
Speaker 4: After this we have a moment of fellowship.
Speaker 4: There is a cup of tea, pastor Edith, and the team you have prepared, which is near the food bank.
Speaker 4: When you go through this door, that door somewhere in this parking area where you see tents, we have tea for all of us and then those who are visiting for the first time, you will walk into the pap purple room, which is just here, yes, where we having.
Speaker 4: My brother can't see very clearly.
Speaker 4: Is that Josh?
Speaker 4: Yes, waving from a distance?
Speaker 4: Yes, now I see you right there, the purple room for our visitors, first time visitors.
Speaker 4: Some of our leaders will be there to be able to meet you.
Speaker 4: So we are meeting again tomorrow, 5.30 pm.
Speaker 4: Come early, come with a friend and remember Sunday one service, 10 am, parking at St Mary's School.
Speaker 4: We shall have shuttles and buses as early as 7 am to bring as many as the Lord has called, and I believe over 15,000 people will be here on Sunday.
Speaker 4: We are very grateful, we are very thankful You've been able to come.
Speaker 4: I declare God is giving you sleep tonight, hallelujah, and it's going to be sleep like a baby.
Speaker 4: Psalms, chapter 4, verse 8.
Speaker 4: Because God is the one who gives us sleep.
Speaker 4: So tonight we are all going to sleep.
Speaker 4: So nice, because revival fire is on.
Speaker 4: Let's all stand up as we share in the words of the grace.
Speaker 4: Revival fire is on.

Speaker 4: Once again, I thank God for ICC team.
Speaker 4: Let's give another hand to the Lord.

Speaker 4: Revival fire is here.
Speaker 4: Talk to the pastor next to you and tell him I am on fire.
Speaker 4: Hallelujah, revival fire.
Speaker 4: Can you feel the warmth?
Speaker 4: There's just something about fire that warms the place up and the revival fire is on.
Speaker 4: We'll say the words of the grace and I pray you have a nice journey home, covered of the Lord, and that dinner will be nice and also fellowship back at home.
Speaker 4: As we drive out, let us give each other space go nicely, like Pastor Ambrose has said.
Speaker 4: So the anointing doesn't take over, but the kind of faith we have, the anointing is going.
Speaker 4: It's not going, it's not getting out of us.
Speaker 4: And now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forevermore.
Speaker 4: Amen.
Speaker 4: Surely Holy Spirit be with us now and forevermore.
Speaker 4: Amen.
Speaker 4: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever.
Speaker 4: Amen, shalom, you are blessed.
