Speaker 1: Are you glad to be in the house of the Lord.
Speaker 1: Let's be upstanding for the reading of the scriptures.
Speaker 1: Maybe if you could share with us the book of Matthew 6.33.
Speaker 1: It's a very common scripture.
Speaker 1: It's a scripture we have read so many times.
Speaker 1: Let's read together, but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added to you.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: First part of that scripture commands us to seek the kingdom of God.
Speaker 1: But remember we are in the month of the impartation of uncommon increase, spirit-led enlargement.
Speaker 1: So before the second part, before the increase, before the enlargement, the Bible is telling us to seek the kingdom of God.
Speaker 1: You may have your seats, please.
Speaker 1: So when the Bible asks us to seek the kingdom of God, where do we look for this kingdom?
Speaker 1: Where do we find this kingdom?
Speaker 1: Is it in Shakahola?
Speaker 1: Come on, any dancers.
Speaker 1: Is it in the streets?
Speaker 1: Amen, dancers, is it in the streets, amen?
Speaker 1: Where is this kingdom so that, as we look for it, we can find it?
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: You know, somebody made a joke some time back and he made it in Swahili.
Speaker 1: He asked Ii pesa tunamukanga kila azubu iku enda kutafuta Ninani ya lipoteza.
Speaker 1: Praise God, praise Jesus, because that makes it easier to even map where you can find the money, praise Jesus.
Speaker 1: But now here we need to sort for this kingdom.
Speaker 1: So where do we find this kingdom Media?
Speaker 1: If you could share with us the book of?
Speaker 1: Let me just confirm that, please share with us the book of Luke 17.21.
Speaker 1: Luke 17.21.
Speaker 1: See what the Bible says.
Speaker 1: Take us back to verse 20, please, verse 20.
Speaker 1: Now, when he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them and said the kingdom of God does not come with observation, nor will they say sit here or sit there, for indeed the kingdom of God is within you, praise God.
Speaker 1: So where is this kingdom?
Speaker 1: So we know where to find the kingdom?
Speaker 1: Amen, the kingdom of God is within us.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, the kingdom of God is within me.
Speaker 1: Please say it confidently, because it is God saying it.
Speaker 1: The kingdom of God is within me.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor again, now, confidently, that the kingdom of God is within me.
Speaker 1: And that is very true.
Speaker 1: The Bible asks us a very critical question Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?
Speaker 1: Praise Jesus.
Speaker 1: So our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: In other words, god himself lives inside of us, but it becomes very difficult for God's children to find this kingdom.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: What makes it difficult?
Speaker 1: Because one, the door was opened for you to access this kingdom the moment you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life.
Speaker 1: No one comes to the Father except through me.
Speaker 1: So as you're looking for this kingdom, you have to go through who Jesus Christ, praise God.
Speaker 1: Now there is an interesting part about this kingdom that I want us to look at.
Speaker 1: Maybe if you could show us the book of Luke 17, verse 21.
Speaker 1: I mean Matthew 18, verse 3.
Speaker 1: Matthew 18, verse 21.
Speaker 1: I mean Matthew 18, verse 3.
Speaker 1: Matthew 18, verse 3.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, it's coming.
Speaker 1: We have faith.
Speaker 1: Now see what the Bible says and said assuredly I say to you Please take us to verse 2 first of all, so that we pick it up from there.
Speaker 1: Then Jesus called a little child to him, set him in the midst of them, the disciples, and said assuredly I say to you so the door is open, but you need to be a child for you to be able to enter.
Speaker 1: Now think of a child or think of yourself.
Speaker 1: From the moment you were conceived, you began developing in your mother's womb, growing not worried about one, what you'll eat, two, what you'll wear.
Speaker 1: You worried about nothing at all, bills, nothing.
Speaker 1: You were just resting in God's presence, amen.
Speaker 1: Then you were born, praise Jesus.
Speaker 1: You continued with the same program, worrying about nothing.
Speaker 1: The burden was on your parents, praise Jesus.
Speaker 1: But when you got born, a system of programming began.
Speaker 1: Your parents started programming you.
Speaker 1: In fact, some of us were even taught mother tongue in school, praise God.
Speaker 1: We even sat for exams on our mother tongue in school, praise God.
Speaker 1: We even sat for exams on our mother tongue, amen.
Speaker 1: So we were being programmed.
Speaker 1: We were taught how to eat, how to walk and all that, praise Jesus.
Speaker 1: Then we went to school.
Speaker 1: School programmed us, amen.
Speaker 1: We were told education is the way.
Speaker 1: How many were told such a thing?
Speaker 1: We were told education is the way.
Speaker 1: How many were told such a thing?
Speaker 1: I'm an enemy to the king.
Speaker 1: We were told.
Speaker 1: Education is the key.
Speaker 1: We believed it because we had to.
Speaker 1: Our parents said it, so we had to obey and follow their rules, praise God.
Speaker 1: And I'm not disputing education.
Speaker 1: You know the Bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge.
Speaker 1: You know Isaiah 4, 6, which is true.
Speaker 1: So education is important, but let me ask us what kind of knowledge is important in the kingdom of God?
Speaker 1: Is it a degree?
Speaker 1: Is it a PhD?
Speaker 1: Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy, chapter 2, verse 15, study to show yourself approved, a workman that needs not to be ashamed but rightly handling the word of truth.
Speaker 1: God is more concerned about his word, amen, because he wants you to be saturated with his word.
Speaker 1: Praise God, and that's his kingdom.
Speaker 1: That is the language that the kingdom of God understands.
Speaker 1: Praise God, and once you grasp that, all these things shall be added unto you.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: Now, today, I want us to talk about three things.
Speaker 1: We know how to find the kingdom.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: The moment you receive Jesus Christ, you are transformed.
Speaker 1: But have you been growing since you received the new software?
Speaker 1: Have you been updating it since it was installed?
Speaker 1: And you remember?
Speaker 1: You have a past and God is saying forget the former things.
Speaker 1: See, I am doing something new.
Speaker 1: All of us have gadgets, phone and all that.
Speaker 1: Again and again, your gadget would request you to update some applications, some softwares and all that.
Speaker 1: Praise God, have you been updating your own software since you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Speaker 1: He gave you access to his kingdom.
Speaker 1: He gave you a program, he gave you a software to run with.
Speaker 1: But where is the problem?
Speaker 1: One of the things I want us to talk about in this season of the impartation, of the Lord's Uncommon Increase spirit-led impartation is the enlarged mind.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor the enlarged mind.
Speaker 1: The second thing I want us to talk about is the enlarged heart.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor the enlarged heart.
Speaker 1: And thirdly, the enlarged heart.
Speaker 1: And thirdly, the enlarged speech.
Speaker 1: Praise God, the enlarged mind.
Speaker 1: Remember I said as we grew up we were being programmed, amen, praise God.
Speaker 1: Now, think you know.
Speaker 1: I was told by someone that there's a very big difference Between your brain and your mind.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: Think of your brain as the hardware, as the gadget you're holding in your hands, your phone.
Speaker 1: Praise God, and think of your mind as the software running in that gadget.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: Now, many of us were limited by the programs we went through in the past Our thinking, how we analyze situations, how we make decisions.
Speaker 1: It is in accordance to how we had been programmed in the past.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: And now we have received Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and he says I have given you my mind.
Speaker 1: Now we all have the mindset of Christ Jesus.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: Now, what does this mind do?
Speaker 1: Praise God, this kind of mind is open to receiving new updates.
Speaker 1: The Bible says enlarge the space of your tent.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: Some of us, since we received Jesus Christ, we have still held on to the previous culture of doing things.
Speaker 1: Amen, jesus says I am doing a new thing today.
Speaker 1: Praise God, I was told your brain is a receiver and a releaser of information.
Speaker 1: A receiver and a transmitter of information.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: So you need to be very open to receiving new information.
Speaker 1: You need to have a teachable spirit, because every day God is teaching us something new.
Speaker 1: And remember transformation begins where In the brain.
Speaker 1: The Bible says as a man thinketh, so is he.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: God has given us his word in abundance and he wants us to receive this information from his word.
Speaker 1: Praise God, process this information and release it into the environment.
Speaker 1: Praise Jesus.
Speaker 1: And so it is important for us to spend time with the word of God.
Speaker 1: Praise Jesus, because the Bible says do not be conformed to the patterns of the world.
Speaker 1: Romans 12, verse 2.
Speaker 1: Media, if you could share with us please.
Speaker 1: It says and do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: An enlarged mind is ready to be renewed on a daily basis by the word of God, is ready to be renewed on a daily basis by the Word of God.
Speaker 1: This is a mind that has been enlarged and has space for new revelations that God is releasing on a daily basis.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: Pastor Ambrose, you are telling us, when you come with a spoon, god will fill a spoon.
Speaker 1: If you come with a bucket, he will fill the spoon until it overflows.
Speaker 1: But what impact will it have?
Speaker 1: If you come with the whole ocean?
Speaker 1: He will still fill it.
Speaker 1: God created everything in abundance.
Speaker 1: If we took everyone on earth and asked them to go and clear the Indian Ocean, let me tell you we will not finish the water in that ocean.
Speaker 1: God created it in abundance.
Speaker 1: Look at the stars in the sky.
Speaker 1: We can't even count them.
Speaker 1: Look at the sand.
Speaker 1: Look at the trees.
Speaker 1: Look at the earth itself.
Speaker 1: It was created in abundance.
Speaker 1: Enough for everyone.
Speaker 1: Actually, there is enough for everyone, and even much more, because God gives exceedingly abundantly, above Above all we even ask or imagine, but do you have the capacity to contain the blessings, the ideas, the revelations that God is releasing every day?
Speaker 1: God never sleeps, he never slumbers, so he's doing his work on a daily basis.
Speaker 1: But are we open enough?
Speaker 1: Are our minds enlarged enough to contain the blessings that the Lord is releasing upon us?
Speaker 1: Remember you have access to the kingdom.
Speaker 1: It is within you.
Speaker 1: All of us live from inside out, not from the outside.
Speaker 1: So the environment does not determine who we are in Christ Jesus, but it is our responsibility to reflect the image of God on earth.
Speaker 1: Remember, we are ambassadors of Christ.
Speaker 1: So there needs to be a shift in your mind so that you are aligned with the mindset of Christ and so that your mind is effective in you fulfilling your purpose on earth.
Speaker 1: As a man thinketh, so is he, praise God.
Speaker 1: So it is important to control the thoughts you give attention to Amen.
Speaker 1: Control the thoughts you give attention to Amen, because what you think about most of the time becomes your dominant thought Praise God.
Speaker 1: And as it grows, it is translated into your entire system and that is what you will project into the environment.
Speaker 1: That is basically what the Bible says when it says as a man thinketh.
Speaker 1: So is he, because your thoughts are never in vain, whether you like it or not, and you know you're always thinking whether you're awake or asleep.
Speaker 1: How, then, do you dream when you have no control over your body?
Speaker 1: Praise God, it is because the mind continues to work even when you are asleep.
Speaker 1: And the thought you had throughout the day, your brain continues to process them even as you are asleep.
Speaker 1: So think of great things, praise God, like what the Bible tells us in Philippians, chapter 4, verse 8.
Speaker 1: In fact, god is so good, he tells us what to think about.
Speaker 1: Amen, so that we can draw boundaries on what we need to give attention to.
Speaker 1: Philippians 4, verse 8,.
Speaker 1: Please Finally brethren.
Speaker 1: Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things, praise God.
Speaker 1: So write those things down.
Speaker 1: Whenever you receive a thought that is your benchmark Praise God.
Speaker 1: Is it noble?
Speaker 1: What else was it?
Speaker 1: I need answers, or you need gifts first.
Speaker 1: What was the other thing you need to think about?
Speaker 1: They are listed there Great things, in other words, think big, praise Jesus and whatever you think about most of the time will manifest without your control.
Speaker 1: Praise Jesus.
Speaker 1: The second point I want us to look at is an enlarged heart.
Speaker 1: An enlarged heart is a heart that is a heart of someone who is emotionally stable, praise God.
Speaker 1: Let's read from the book of John, 16, verse 33.
Speaker 1: This is Jesus speaking.
Speaker 1: He said these things.
Speaker 1: I have spoken to you that in me you may have peace In the world.
Speaker 1: You will have.
Speaker 1: Trib told us they will not face trouble.
Speaker 1: He never promised no trouble.
Speaker 1: He says actually himself there will be trouble, there will be challenges, there will be challenges, there will be temptations, but be of good cheer, in other words, rejoice.
Speaker 1: In fact, the Bible says rejoice and again I say rejoice, amen.
Speaker 1: The Bible says count it all, joy when you go through many trials.
Speaker 1: You know why?
Speaker 1: Because trials are not in the kingdom, trials are outside the kingdom.
Speaker 1: Where is the kingdom, do you remember?
Speaker 1: The kingdom is within.
Speaker 1: So trials are not coming from within, they're coming from without Praise Jesus, within.
Speaker 1: They are coming from Without Praise Jesus.
Speaker 1: So when they show up, remember I have overcome and in as much as I overcame the world, I did not just leave you alone.
Speaker 1: Where do I stay.
Speaker 1: I stay inside of you.
Speaker 1: So let the trials come.
Speaker 1: Don't take off.
Speaker 1: Face the trials.
Speaker 1: The Bible tells us in Romans 8, verse 37, that we are more than conquerors, through him who loved us.
Speaker 1: It tells us whatever is born of God overcomes the world.
Speaker 1: Amen, because we're not born of any other spirit but the spirit of God himself, the spirit that overcame the world.
Speaker 1: Remember, he even overcame death.
Speaker 1: Death itself could not hold Jesus Christ In that grave Because he was an overcomer.
Speaker 1: Now this overcomer Lives inside us.
Speaker 1: The Bible says Greater is he that is in me Than he that is in the world.
Speaker 1: In Colossians 3.
Speaker 1: I think around verse 21,.
Speaker 1: The Bible says Christ in you is the hope.
Speaker 1: He does not talk about Christ outside of you.
Speaker 1: He keeps on reminding us that my kingdom is within you.
Speaker 1: Christ in you is the hope of glory.
Speaker 1: So let the challenges come, but remember I already overcame them.
Speaker 1: So cheer as you face the rejoice, as you face the challenge, because the reason for rejoicing is that the victory is already assured.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: Imagine getting into a battlefield maybe for a battlefield, maybe for a tournament and the referee tells you already I've given you the victory.
Speaker 1: Does it mean now you don't engage in the match?
Speaker 1: Come on, I need answers.
Speaker 1: You enter the pitch knowing very well that victory is yours and the referee has already told you that I've already given you this victory.
Speaker 1: Does it mean that you should not play?
Speaker 1: Get into the play and prove the victory.
Speaker 1: So your reason for engaging is to prove, but the victory is already assured.
Speaker 1: So you enter that pitch with the confidence, the boldness, that confidence you have already overcome, and you don't get into that pitch with a sulk face.
Speaker 1: You're not slouching.
Speaker 1: You walk into that pitch with your head held high, expressing your joy, expressing your victory.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you're facing in life.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you one of the things the enemy wants you to do is to fear, and fear is very poisonous Because fear attacks your emotions.
Speaker 1: Praise God, and I've even noticed people express themselves through their emotions.
Speaker 1: So if every cell is saturated with fear, what you'll project out there is a product of fear, praise God.
Speaker 1: But that is not the image God created you in.
Speaker 1: The enemy wants you to lose your identity.
Speaker 1: Forget that you carry the kingdom of God in.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 1: Instill fear and remember this fear is coming from without amen.
Speaker 1: It's not from within, it is something that you receive, you embody and it becomes part of your life.
Speaker 1: But God told Joshua in Joshua 1.6, be strong and of good courage.
Speaker 1: Again he reminds him again in verse 9, have I not told you, have I not commanded you, be strong and of good courage?
Speaker 1: Every time God tells you, fear not.
Speaker 1: He always tells you, for I am with you.
Speaker 1: You think he's outside, there somewhere watching you from outside.
Speaker 1: God is just watching you from within and when he says, do not grieve the Holy Spirit, he knows he lives inside of us.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: So he's not watching from without, he's watching from within.
Speaker 1: He says our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: Rejoice, and again I say rejoice.
Speaker 1: Is it Paul who said we are pressed but not destroyed, perplexed but not?
Speaker 1: You get.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 1: The challenges will never destroy you, because you are more than a conqueror.
Speaker 1: In other words, you are the one to destroy the challenges.
Speaker 1: The Bible tells us in Luke, chapter 10, verse 19,.
Speaker 1: I have given you authority to trample over serpents and scorpions and over all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Speaker 1: Then you tell me I can face the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Speaker 1: Then you tell me I can face the enemy and there is no way he can hurt me.
Speaker 1: We need to be like David.
Speaker 1: He shows up just running his own errands and everything, and then he hears this issue of Goliath and he takes up that task because he does not fear.
Speaker 1: He says I come to you in the name of the Lord, because he believed he carried the kingdom of God, the kingdom that overcomes and the kingdom of God rules over all.
Speaker 1: There is no other kingdom that can ever rule over the kingdom of God.
Speaker 1: Praise Jesus.
Speaker 1: So there is no reason for us believers to fear anything on earth.
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 1: Because, as children, we are supposed to operate from a point of rest.
Speaker 1: You never worried about anything, but everything worked out for your good.
Speaker 1: At the moment you began to worry, things started going haywire.
Speaker 1: We need to be emotionally stable.
Speaker 1: Praise God, no matter what happens.
Speaker 1: The economy, the political status and all that.
Speaker 1: They should not affect the life of a believer.
Speaker 1: Because, in as much as we are on earth, in this world, they should not affect the life of a believer.
Speaker 1: Because, in as much as we are on earth, in this world, we are not of the world.
Speaker 1: We are citizens of heaven, praise God.
Speaker 1: And on this earth we are ambassadors of Christ.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: And we are the ones to display the kingdom of God on earth.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: You see, when you pray, the Lord's praises our Father in heaven.
Speaker 1: Hallowed be thy name.
Speaker 1: Thy kingdom come.
Speaker 1: They will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you, god already did everything he needed to do.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: The Bible tells us that Jesus died once and for all, so we do not expect him to come and die for us again, and his second coming is not coming today for any one of us.
Speaker 1: Amen, praise God.
Speaker 1: So it is through us that God wants to display his kingdom.
Speaker 1: The Bible says the earth eagerly waits for the manifestation of the children of God, and these children carry the same God in themselves.
Speaker 1: So what holds us back from displaying the kingdom of God in our spheres of influence?
Speaker 1: Is it fear?
Speaker 1: Is it doubt?
Speaker 1: Are they challenges that have affected us emotionally and now we are not stable?
Speaker 1: Things are scattered all over.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: God wants to use each one of us and let's not give the enemy any space to plant fear in our spirits.
Speaker 1: Praise God In our spirits.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: The Bible says we did not receive the spirit of fear, but of love, of power and of a sound mind.
Speaker 1: What was the last point?
Speaker 1: The enlarged speech.
Speaker 1: Now, this speech Is God's commanding power.
Speaker 1: Just tell your neighbor, my speech is God's commanding power.
Speaker 1: Tell the other neighbor confidently my speech is God's commanding power.
Speaker 1: I want us to look at the story of the centurion's servant in the book of Luke, chapter 7, verse 1 to 10.
Speaker 1: Now, when he concluded all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered Kepenau and a certain centurion servant who was dear to him was sick and ready to die.
Speaker 1: The situation was worse.
Speaker 1: There was nothing they could do about it.
Speaker 1: When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him pleading with him to come and heal his servant.
Speaker 1: And when he came to Jesus, they begged him honestly, saying that the one for whom he should do this was deserving, for he loves our nation and has built as a synagogue.
Speaker 1: Then Jesus went with him and when he was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof.
Speaker 1: Therefore, I did not even think myself worthy to come to you, but say the word and my servant will be healed.
Speaker 1: Healed, for I also am placed under authority, having soldiers under me, and I say to one, go, and he goes, and to another, come and he comes.
Speaker 1: And to my servant, do this and he does it.
Speaker 1: When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him and turned around and said to the crowd that followed him I say to you I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel.
Speaker 1: Now think of it this way the centurion was a king, a man with servants under him.
Speaker 1: He knew very well he could say a word and it could be actioned, whether he followed it up or not, praise God.
Speaker 1: Now he's facing one of his servants who is not feeling well.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out how he could not speak a word.
Speaker 1: Yet he knew a word can be spoken and the servant would be healed, praise God.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you God's speech I mean Jesus' speech was so enlarged amen.
Speaker 1: It was God's commanding power in him, so anything he spoke had to be actioned.
Speaker 1: Praise Jesus, in as much as the centurion knew he could speak.
Speaker 1: He knew there is a man who has utmost power to do what I cannot do.
Speaker 1: Praise Jesus, imagine what the world knows.
Speaker 1: You can say a word.
Speaker 1: Your words are powerful.
Speaker 1: The Bible says life and death in Proverbs is in the power of the tongue.
Speaker 1: This person does not even know.
Speaker 1: God knows that, but it reaches a point when he knows he cannot do it.
Speaker 1: Now think of it as a Christian.
Speaker 1: How much power do you have over the wicked, in as much as they know the principles?
Speaker 1: Your speech is not just a mere speech, a common speech.
Speaker 1: Your speech is uncommon because it is saturated with the spirit of God, amen.
Speaker 1: And as believers, every word we say will never return to us void.
Speaker 1: They will go out there, work themselves out and find their way back to the source, amen.
Speaker 1: And you being the source.
Speaker 1: Who spoke those words?
Speaker 1: So God wants to use your voice to command change, to command transformation, to command increase, to command enlargement in your sphere of influence.
Speaker 1: But you see again, another challenge I see with believers is usually focusing on how the thing will happen.
Speaker 1: That is not a question for us to answer.
Speaker 1: You're more concerned about when it will come through.
Speaker 1: That should not be our focus.
Speaker 1: Praise God, the main question I usually try to answer in my life is the why, then the how and the when, I leave it to God.
Speaker 1: Praise God, because God's ways are not our ways.
Speaker 1: Are we together?
Speaker 1: That's what the Bible tells us in Isaiah 55, from around verse 11.
Speaker 1: His ways are higher than our ways.
Speaker 1: His thoughts are bigger than our thoughts.
Speaker 1: Praise Jesus.
Speaker 1: So when you pray, leave it to God.
Speaker 1: When you declare, leave it to God.
Speaker 1: Stop losing your brain cells trying to figure out the how, the when Amen.
Speaker 1: Be like that child.
Speaker 1: Rest in the presence of the Lord.
Speaker 1: The when Amen.
Speaker 1: Be like that child.
Speaker 1: Rest In the presence Of the Lord.
Speaker 1: The Bible says Be still and know that I am God.
Speaker 1: One moment you declare a thing, the next moment you are running all over Trying to help God Sort it out.
Speaker 1: He said Be still and know that I am God.
Speaker 1: Just calm down, like that child who is in a mother's womb, like that child who has just been born.
Speaker 1: He is not bothered about anything because they are resting in the presence of their parents.
Speaker 1: Now, this is a God who is not a man that he should lie.
Speaker 1: He says can you being sinners?
Speaker 1: When your child asks you for bread, you give them a stone.
Speaker 1: Can they ask you for fish, you give them a snake.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 1: So rest and allow God to work it out for you.
Speaker 1: Praise Jesus, speak words that are positive, because your words create your reality.
Speaker 1: Believers don't live from outside, they live from inside.
Speaker 1: Praise God, so find the kingdom.
Speaker 1: It is within you.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: You have the mindset of Christ.
Speaker 1: God took away the heart of stone and gave you a flexible heart of Christ.
Speaker 1: God took away the heart of stone and gave you a flexible heart of flesh.
Speaker 1: Praise God, and he has enlarged your speech and is telling you my power is at work within you.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we ask or imagine.
Speaker 1: And it goes further to say, according to his power, that is at work within us, not outside of us.
Speaker 1: Praise God, and I want to charge us today.
Speaker 1: Let's always be conscious of God's presence within us.
Speaker 1: Amen, because he promises he will never leave, he will never forsake us.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: So manage those things.
Speaker 1: Manage your thoughts, manage your emotions, manage your speech.
Speaker 1: Praise God and see God doing wonders in our lives.
Speaker 1: Amen, father, I thank you for the word this evening.
Speaker 1: We have received it with power and we know that it will bear fruits in our lives.
Speaker 1: Amen, father, we thank you for the word this evening.
Speaker 1: We have received it with power and we know that it will bear fruits in our lives, fruits that last.
Speaker 1: Almighty Father, thank you for the reminder today that your kingdom is within us.
Speaker 1: Almighty Father, thank you for reminding us, o God, that when we have this kingdom, all the other things, the increase, will follow effortlessly.
Speaker 1: Because you will be doing it, almighty Father.
Speaker 1: You will be bringing the increase and the enlargement, almighty Father.
Speaker 1: So we praise you, king of Kings, for your word.
Speaker 1: May it not return to you void.
Speaker 1: May it bear fruit that lasts, because you are a faithful God and there is none like you.
Speaker 1: And this.
Speaker 1: We pray in Jesus' name and God's people say Amen.
Speaker 1: Come on, let's celebrate the King of Kings.
Speaker 1: One of the items we're celebrating today is the Lord's Table, so let me ask someone to pass me the elements, and I hope all of us have served.
Speaker 1: And please don't forget today we are celebrating birthdays.
Speaker 1: So any birthday babies in the house.
Speaker 1: If you're born in the month of June, july and August, we have a cake for you.
Speaker 1: Any birthday babies in the house June babies, let's celebrate them.
Speaker 1: July babies, july babies, july babies, july babies, july babies, let's celebrate them.
Speaker 1: For Pigeon McAfee, august babies, please don't take off early.
Speaker 1: We have a cake for you and God is great.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: Have you all been served with the elements?
Speaker 1: Amen?
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: Have you all been served with the elements?
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: You know, john 3.16 reminds us that God gave his son, his only begotten son.
Speaker 1: He loved the earth to a point where he gave his only begotten son, jesus Christ, to come, a point where he gave his only begotten son, jesus Christ, to come and die for us on the cross.
Speaker 1: And he says so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, without this action, without this action, we would not have had access into this kingdom in as much as it is established within us.
Speaker 1: We would not have had access into this kingdom In as much as it is established within us.
Speaker 1: We would not have access to this kingdom.
Speaker 1: The works that Jesus did on the cross is what gave us access to this kingdom.
Speaker 1: So access has been granted, praise God.
Speaker 1: And that's why we received the mindset of Christ, we received the heart of God and we can speak as he speaks, praise Jesus.
Speaker 1: So I want us to take a moment and just thank God for his love, for sending Jesus so that we'd be redeemed, so that we'd be redeemed, so that we'd be taken back home, restored, refreshed, increased, enlarged.
Speaker 1: Thank you, lord, for your love, thank you for your mercies, thank you that you loved us while we were still sinners.
Speaker 1: There was nothing good to please you In our sinful nature.
Speaker 1: You still sent your only son, jesus Christ, to come and die for us on the cross.
Speaker 1: His blood was shed, he was beaten for our transgressions, he died and he rose again, almighty Father.
Speaker 1: But we are grateful inasmuch as we did not endure the pain.
Speaker 1: While we went through the pain, we were crucified with him.
Speaker 1: We were buried with him and we were raised with him.
Speaker 1: And today we were crucified with him.
Speaker 1: We were buried with him and we were raised with him.
Speaker 1: And today we are seated with him in the heavenly realms, far above any principalities, any authorities of mighty God, because he gave us the authority to trample over serpents and scorpions and over all the powers of the enemy, and because of what Jesus did on the cross.
Speaker 1: Today we walk with boldness, we speak boldly of your goodness, because we know, the enemy cannot snatch us from your hand, the enemy cannot separate us from your love.
Speaker 1: We are the apple of your eye, almighty Father.
Speaker 1: We are protected, we are covered and we are victorious, almighty father.
Speaker 1: So every fear has dissipated and now we walk in boldness.
Speaker 1: None of us will fret, none of us will be perturbed, because your presence lives inside of us and as you perambulate up and down and across our bodies, almighty father, may each cell, each bone be saturated with your life, with your strength, with your power, so that it may be known that all this surpassing power is not from us, but from you, god.
Speaker 1: So we praise you and we worship you.
Speaker 1: For this.
Speaker 1: We pray in Jesus' name and God's people say Amen.
Speaker 1: Maybe if you could share with us the book of 1 Corinthians 11, from verse 23.
Speaker 1: 1 Corinthians 11, verse 23.
Speaker 1: The Bible says, for I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you that the Lord Jesus, on the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread and when he had given thanks, he broke it.
Speaker 1: In the same way, in the same way, in the same manner, he also took the cup after supper, saying this cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Speaker 1: This.
Speaker 1: Do as often as you drink it in remembrance of me.
Speaker 1: For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till he comes.
Speaker 1: Therefore, whoever eats this bread and drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the blood and the body of Jesus.
Speaker 1: Amen, of the blood and the body of Jesus, amen.
Speaker 1: So this reminds us that the kingdom of God is within us.
Speaker 1: Praise God.
Speaker 1: This reminds us that God loves us.
Speaker 1: We are not separated from God.
Speaker 1: He lives inside of us.
Speaker 1: Find the kingdom within, and all these things shall be added unto you.
Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor I am the light of the world.
Speaker 1: We thank God.
Speaker 1: So let's partake the bread and the juice together.
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: This is my body poured out for you, and as you drink it, remember me.
Speaker 2: This is my body broken for you, and as you eat it, remember me, god poured out for you and as you drink it, remember me Amen.
Speaker 1: Come on, let's celebrate the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you an interesting scripture in 2 Corinthians 4.
Speaker 1: You know, don't just look at your body as some form of clay and you despise it.
Speaker 1: 2 Corinthians 2.
Speaker 1: Verse 4.
Speaker 1: 2 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, chapter 4.
Speaker 1: Verse 7.
Speaker 1: 2 Corinthians 4, 7.
Speaker 1: The Bible says but we have this treasure in Athens.
Speaker 1: What do you think that treasure is?
Speaker 1: What is that treasure?
Speaker 1: The kingdom.
Speaker 1: Amen, we have this treasure in Athen.
Speaker 1: Vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
Speaker 1: The treasure is the kingdom within.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: Never forget about the kingdom.
Speaker 1: Today we are celebrating birthday babies.
Speaker 1: June babies, if you could come quickly, let's celebrate them as they come and if you have a testimony, I have one minute for you.
Speaker 1: June, july, august yeah, anyone with a testimony.
Speaker 1: As the team prepares the cake, has God increased you?
Speaker 1: Has God enlarged you?
Speaker 1: Any testimony?
Speaker 1: As we prepare the cakes?
Speaker 1: So please open the cakes.
Speaker 1: I need the June babies here.
Speaker 1: June babies, your table is here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 1: Let me give it to you Just a minute.
Speaker 1: It's okay, okay, yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 1: It's okay.
Speaker 2: It's okay.
Speaker 1: Amen, amen.
Speaker 1: I think we have one testimony.
Speaker 1: As we prepare the cakes, let's hear this testimony.
Speaker 3: Praise the Lord.
Speaker 3: I'm Jeffrey and I have a small testimony.
Speaker 3: During the month that we were having prayer and fasting, it was one of the evening and I just prayed.
Speaker 3: I went home.
Speaker 3: I walked home and I come from Kariobangi.
Speaker 3: So after reaching home I got terrible beatings inside my room and this guy just came.
Speaker 3: He was like there's a neighbor whom we are not in good terms.
Speaker 3: So he was like wait, what's going on with my uncle?
Speaker 3: I tried to explain.
Speaker 3: Even he doesn't want to hear me.
Speaker 3: He punched me, he kicked me and I was left to die.
Speaker 3: Actually that was the case, but God worked it out.
Speaker 3: I can just say God, if I didn't come, because if I didn't come for that prayer, it's my view that maybe I could be normal.
Speaker 3: Last Sunday I was coming to church again.
Speaker 3: I was coming and I was passing through this city park, this aqua forest there.
Speaker 3: So I passed through the picnic and I was about the road.
Speaker 3: Then a guy said hey, come, come here.
Speaker 3: I there.
Speaker 3: So I passed through the picnic and I was about the road.
Speaker 3: Then a guy said come, come here.
Speaker 3: I'm like how do I come to you?
Speaker 3: Are you a police or who are you?
Speaker 3: Then he fell to answer.
Speaker 3: But he insisted come here.
Speaker 3: Then he's like I also resisted I can't come, because unless you show me the ID you're a police or whoever identify yourself, then I'll submit and come to you.
Speaker 3: He refused and then he asked for another fella who was inside the forest Ebu kuja Kuja, we work on this guy.
Speaker 3: Then I'm like me, I'll show you that, actually I'll just fight it out.
Speaker 3: So I recalled there was a stone behind.
Speaker 3: I just picked the stone and I held it in my hand.
Speaker 3: So when we were arguing the guy that he was calling, he refused to come forward.
Speaker 3: And then we were exchanging words.
Speaker 3: We were exchanging words.
Speaker 3: As we were exchanging words, he was like because I was shouting and guys were now almost coming from the road there's a road, this is Limu Road.
Speaker 3: They were coming by our side.
Speaker 3: So he feared and then he just disappeared and God saved me because he had demanded for my.
Speaker 3: He actually told a tablet, it's a laptop.
Speaker 3: But he said give me the tablet.
Speaker 3: I tell him over my dead body I'm not going to give him a tablet.
Speaker 3: They hear we're just going to.
Speaker 3: But God worked it out.
Speaker 3: It's actually not me.
Speaker 3: In all those situations it's God, not me actually.
Speaker 3: God bless you.
Speaker 1: I want us to be upstanding.
Speaker 1: May God bless you.
Speaker 1: May he make his face to shine upon you.
Speaker 1: May you experience his goodness in the land of the living and as you think, big as you, remain emotionally stable as you speak forth, may you bear much fruit in your areas of engagement.
Speaker 2: In Jesus' name 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 1: Amen, Remember there's a cup of tea and more snacks to enjoy.
Speaker 1: Bless you.
