WEBVTT 00:00:00.521 --> 00:00:05.152 I have a message titled my Cup Overflows. 00:00:05.152 --> 00:00:16.515 This message comes in the wider context of the theme of the month in partition of an uncommon overflow, spirit-led abundance. 00:00:16.515 --> 00:00:24.786 So the title of the message is my Cup Overflows, and I am inspired by Psalm 23,. 00:00:24.786 --> 00:00:25.408 It's a psalm. 00:00:25.408 --> 00:00:26.971 We all know, verse 1 to 6. 00:00:26.971 --> 00:00:32.087 And I'll also read from Luke, chapter 5, from verse 1 to 11. 00:00:32.087 --> 00:00:40.567 In honor of God's word, I ask us to stand up so that we can read the Bible together Psalm 23. 00:00:40.567 --> 00:00:42.810 The Lord is my shepherd. 00:00:42.810 --> 00:00:43.790 I lack nothing. 00:00:43.790 --> 00:00:50.149 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters. 00:00:50.149 --> 00:00:52.667 He refreshes my soul. 00:00:52.667 --> 00:00:55.548 He guides me along the right paths. 00:00:55.548 --> 00:01:07.453 For his name's sake, even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff. 00:01:07.453 --> 00:01:08.402 They comfort me. 00:01:08.402 --> 00:01:13.811 You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies. 00:01:13.811 --> 00:01:18.683 You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. 00:01:18.683 --> 00:01:21.147 I want us to read go back to that statement. 00:01:21.147 --> 00:01:22.868 Let's read that part together. 00:01:22.868 --> 00:01:28.841 You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. 00:01:28.841 --> 00:01:38.349 Of course it goes on to say surely, your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. 00:01:38.349 --> 00:01:42.962 The next text is Luke, chapter 5, luke, chapter 5, verse 1. 00:01:43.924 --> 00:02:04.155 One day, as Jesus was standing by the lake of Gennesaret the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God he saw at the water's edge two boats left there by fishermen who were washing their nets. 00:02:04.155 --> 00:02:12.626 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. 00:02:12.626 --> 00:02:16.734 Then he sat down, taught the people from the boat. 00:02:16.734 --> 00:02:26.754 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon put out into deep water and let down the nets for a catch. 00:02:26.754 --> 00:02:39.711 Simon answered Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything, but because you say so, I will let down the nets. 00:02:39.711 --> 00:02:49.634 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 00:02:49.634 --> 00:03:01.652 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. 00:03:01.652 --> 00:03:09.846 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said Go away from me, lord, I am a sinful man. 00:03:09.846 --> 00:03:20.074 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, simon's partners. 00:03:20.074 --> 00:04:05.532 Then Jesus said to Simon family gathered here in person in the pavilion and around the world Thank you, lord, for the inspiration that we draw from Scripture and, father, as I share, as you have laid the word in my heart, I pray that this inspiration will touch us in a way that we'll remember forever, but also in a way that our lives would align with the instructions of Scripture. 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:07.346 And so God take over. 00:04:07.346 --> 00:04:09.949 In Jesus' name, we pray Amen. 00:04:09.949 --> 00:04:13.665 My cup overflows. 00:04:13.665 --> 00:04:18.163 I just read the text From Psalm 23,. 00:04:18.163 --> 00:04:21.533 This is David's testimony. 00:04:21.533 --> 00:04:25.971 In verse 5, he says my cup overflows. 00:04:25.971 --> 00:04:30.887 And I want to say that this will become somebody's testimony today. 00:04:30.887 --> 00:04:34.595 In Jesus' name, david testified. 00:04:34.595 --> 00:04:46.290 You can say I will testify because my cup will overflow, and you know Jesus prophesied this overflow. 00:04:46.290 --> 00:04:56.471 It is an overflow that has attended many individuals and many families and many groups over the centuries. 00:04:57.713 --> 00:05:05.288 Jesus prophesied over 2,000 years ago in John 7, 38, overflow. 00:05:05.288 --> 00:05:08.875 John 7, verse 38 this is what it says. 00:05:08.875 --> 00:05:10.783 Whoever believes in me. 00:05:10.783 --> 00:05:19.122 Jesus said, as scriptures have said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. 00:05:19.122 --> 00:05:43.463 And I want to say that we are here to break the season of trickles and droplets coming out of your life, trickles and droplets of water coming out of your life, and not just trickles and droplets, but spaced out, so they appear on Monday, maybe Wednesday, probably Sunday, maybe in a month, five times Over the year. 00:05:43.463 --> 00:05:55.165 It's a labored form of life, you know, and these trickles are struggling to come in droplets out of your life, out of your family, out of your career, out of your journey. 00:05:55.165 --> 00:05:56.869 It's just been trickles. 00:05:56.869 --> 00:06:12.072 Yet Jesus has prophesied over your life and my life, the life of my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, that rivers to those who believe, rivers of living waters, shall flow out of us. 00:06:12.072 --> 00:06:19.874 And so we are here to recall and to trigger that prophecy over our lives. 00:06:19.874 --> 00:06:24.762 We see it happening in David's life, psalm 23. 00:06:24.762 --> 00:06:31.326 We see it happening in Simon James and the partners in Luke, chapter 5. 00:06:31.326 --> 00:06:37.488 We see it happening in the scripture over and over again and over the centuries. 00:06:37.488 --> 00:06:52.858 The God of overflow continues to manifest and I believe, in our day and time, regardless of our environment and circumstances, god is able to overrule and God is able to do a new work in somebody's life. 00:06:52.858 --> 00:07:01.242 Hallelujah, hallelujah. 00:07:01.242 --> 00:07:01.684 My cup overflows. 00:07:01.684 --> 00:07:04.817 That is the testament, that is a statement we shall carry from here the whole week. 00:07:04.817 --> 00:07:14.935 My cup overflows, like that of David, like that of Simon, and it is a prophetic word from our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the highest authority that we draw from. 00:07:15.461 --> 00:07:18.129 So three things I want to share here briefly. 00:07:18.129 --> 00:07:37.130 The source of uncommon overflow when you look at Psalm 23 and you look at David, he is a man who is persuaded, he's a man who is convinced and he's a man who knows his God fairly well. 00:07:37.130 --> 00:07:44.369 As you look at the whole Psalm, you read from verse 1 to 6, it's actually a statement of faith. 00:07:44.369 --> 00:07:55.492 It's also a statement of conviction and David is very, very clear where his overflow is coming from. 00:07:55.492 --> 00:08:11.571 And I want to say that the oil of overflow, oil of overflow I don't know the cliff you brought me, the anointing oil, or Martin the oil of overflow is available here today. 00:08:11.571 --> 00:08:16.526 Hallelujah, the oil of overflow, he anoints my head with oil. 00:08:16.526 --> 00:08:19.228 He, god, anoints my head with oil. 00:08:19.228 --> 00:08:24.132 My cup, my cup, my cup runneth over. 00:08:24.132 --> 00:08:30.708 I want you to say he anoints my head with oil, my cup raneth over. 00:08:30.708 --> 00:08:40.114 David has a clear understanding of the source of uncommon overflow in his life. 00:08:40.114 --> 00:08:51.928 And this oil here, it's ordinary oil and it's very interesting. 00:08:51.948 --> 00:09:03.488 Pastor Regan, I anointed people in my office after first service, the team also from Tanzania. 00:09:03.488 --> 00:09:04.770 They came from Dar es Salaam. 00:09:04.770 --> 00:09:20.465 They came here to Kenya to serve not Kongamano, kongamano Wali fika pale kwenye ofisi yangu alafu wakasema vile umenena kule kwenye ukumbi apa kanisani basi tenda kwetu Mafuta ya overflow. 00:09:20.465 --> 00:09:30.068 Kiswahili seme nini Ya kububujika Tunaomba utumuagia Overflow. 00:09:30.068 --> 00:09:30.610 What does that mean? 00:09:30.610 --> 00:09:31.153 To be blessed? 00:09:31.173 --> 00:09:32.399 We pray that we may find the power of the Lord. 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:52.009 This is possible because anointing is power, anointing is consecration, and somebody who comes before God and he says I know my cup cannot overflow unless oil is poured on my head as an act of breaking before God. 00:09:52.009 --> 00:09:56.946 Psalm 51, verse 17 says the following Psalm 51, verse 17. 00:09:56.946 --> 00:10:02.148 A broken and a contrite spirit, god will not despise. 00:10:02.148 --> 00:10:04.067 That's a sacrifice God is looking for. 00:10:04.067 --> 00:10:23.703 And so when God, a man, realizes that in their own strength they cannot make it, then they come to God and they say even marketplace breakthrough comes from God and therefore I need an anointing and oil is poured on the. 00:10:23.703 --> 00:10:26.450 It is called the anointing of overflow. 00:10:26.450 --> 00:10:32.687 You anoint my head with oil and because of that my cup runneth over. 00:10:32.687 --> 00:10:34.490 And he's talking about God. 00:10:35.532 --> 00:10:44.392 David understands the source of uncommon overflow and he knows it doesn't come from human strength or human power. 00:10:44.392 --> 00:10:49.830 It comes from above and that is why he has to turn to God and for his anointing. 00:10:49.830 --> 00:10:56.187 And in verse 1 of Psalm 23, he says the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 00:10:56.187 --> 00:11:01.905 He understands that with the Lord being his shepherd, he will lack nothing. 00:11:01.905 --> 00:11:06.471 And so in verse 5, he grows that statement in terms of his conviction. 00:11:06.471 --> 00:11:07.484 He's growing. 00:11:07.484 --> 00:11:10.980 And he says you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. 00:11:10.980 --> 00:11:16.533 You anoint my head with oil and my cup run it over. 00:11:16.533 --> 00:11:21.407 May God release his anointing of our flow upon somebody right now, in the name of Jesus Christ. 00:11:21.827 --> 00:11:24.100 And you know that anointing breaks the yoke of lack. 00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:25.120 You knowing breaks the yoke of luck. 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:27.682 You know it breaks that yoke In your own strength. 00:11:27.682 --> 00:11:28.183 You can't. 00:11:28.183 --> 00:11:34.347 You realize that Peter and his group had tried their whole night. 00:11:34.347 --> 00:11:38.672 They had labored In chapter 5, verse 4 and 5. 00:11:38.672 --> 00:11:43.436 They had labored the whole night and they caught nothing. 00:11:43.436 --> 00:11:45.596 You know they caught nothing. 00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:51.109 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon put out into deep water and let down the nets for a catch. 00:11:51.109 --> 00:12:06.235 Simon answered and so David seeks the anointing of overflow. 00:12:06.235 --> 00:12:10.860 Peter and company received the word that brings overflow. 00:12:10.860 --> 00:12:13.710 There is an anointing and there is a word. 00:12:13.710 --> 00:12:19.631 The anointing and the word break the yoke of lack and want. 00:12:19.631 --> 00:12:34.504 You know, in the valley of dry bones it just took a word in the valley of dry bones and the valley of deadness became the valley of life, the valley where there were dead bones. 00:12:34.504 --> 00:12:37.231 Suddenly a whole bigamy rose up. 00:12:37.231 --> 00:12:41.990 I am seeing a new season for somebody right here, in Jesus' name. 00:12:41.990 --> 00:13:06.320 You have been walking in the area of want and lack, but by the anointing of today's altar, by the word spoken here, just like David got anointed, simon and company received a word and because of the anointing and the word, the whole line of overflow was cleared and the supply lines of God completely released. 00:13:06.941 --> 00:13:13.453 I am here to say that God is the source of your and my uncommon overflow. 00:13:13.453 --> 00:13:21.708 Your uncommon overflow will not come from your job, it will not come from your career, it will not come from who you know or you don't know. 00:13:21.708 --> 00:13:24.101 It will not come from your strength, from who you know or you don't know. 00:13:24.101 --> 00:13:24.942 It will not come from your strength. 00:13:24.942 --> 00:13:30.027 It will come when you break before God and you actually say God. 00:13:30.027 --> 00:13:40.256 You are, like I said another Sunday, preaching here God, you are my source, the source of uncommon overflow, and God is not poor. 00:13:40.256 --> 00:13:43.240 God is not poor. 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:52.625 When you read 1 Chronicles 29, from verse 10 to 16, you can see people turning to God and acknowledging him as the source. 00:13:53.148 --> 00:13:57.144 David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying praise. 00:13:57.144 --> 00:14:01.693 Be to you, lord, the God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. 00:14:01.693 --> 00:14:10.466 You, as Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor for everything in heaven and earth is yours. 00:14:10.466 --> 00:14:12.846 Yours, lord, is the kingdom. 00:14:12.846 --> 00:14:18.107 You are exalted as head over all Wealth and honor come from you. 00:14:18.107 --> 00:14:20.086 You are the ruler of all things. 00:14:20.086 --> 00:14:26.168 In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. 00:14:26.168 --> 00:14:38.333 Now, our God, we give you thanks and praise your glorious name, but who am I and who are my people that we should be able to give us generously as this? 00:14:38.333 --> 00:14:44.413 Everything comes from you and we have given you only what comes from your hand. 00:14:44.413 --> 00:14:48.624 We are foreigners and strangers in your sight as well. 00:14:48.624 --> 00:14:49.666 All our ancestors. 00:14:49.666 --> 00:14:53.114 Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope. 00:14:53.114 --> 00:15:08.596 Lord, our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your holy name comes from you, your hand, and all of it belongs to you. 00:15:08.596 --> 00:15:16.167 Let's give a hand clap to God because he's rich, he's wealthy and he has all of these things. 00:15:16.748 --> 00:15:30.080 In fact, when he created everything in Genesis chapter two, chapter two from verse eight to 15, when he created everything, then he put man in the midst of abundance, in the midst of overflow. 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.749 That was God's design from the beginning. 00:15:32.749 --> 00:15:42.808 It is his design today and therefore the psalmist and Simon Peter understand that. 00:15:42.808 --> 00:15:47.850 And common overflow comes from God, the Lord. 00:15:47.850 --> 00:15:52.097 God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 00:15:52.097 --> 00:16:03.398 When you read the verses that are there before from verse 8, it tells you everything God created and after he had created, he actually placed Adam right there. 00:16:03.398 --> 00:16:21.820 In the midst of that there was a garden, there were rivers, and you can read later it's a very powerful passage May somebody, may God, relocate somebody from a place called Lark and place them in the middle of a garden that has rivers and has all the provisions of God. 00:16:21.820 --> 00:16:23.897 Is somebody receiving that right now? 00:16:23.897 --> 00:16:25.615 In Jesus' name. 00:16:25.615 --> 00:16:29.700 He did it for David, did it for Simon and company. 00:16:29.700 --> 00:16:33.636 He is doing it in the 21st century and he's doing it for us. 00:16:34.350 --> 00:16:46.076 Let me declare that we shall walk in the overflow like my brother Samuambogo, you prayed the overflow of knowledge, the overflow of wisdom, the overflow of understanding. 00:16:46.076 --> 00:16:51.196 We shall walk in the overflow of salvation, the overflow of deliverance. 00:16:51.196 --> 00:16:54.940 We shall walk in the overflow of resources. 00:16:54.940 --> 00:16:57.397 We shall walk in the overflow of love. 00:16:57.397 --> 00:17:00.619 We shall walk in the overflow of forgiveness. 00:17:00.619 --> 00:17:05.161 Because even Peter, his forgiveness was limited. 00:17:05.161 --> 00:17:07.898 When you read Matthew 18, verse 21. 00:17:07.898 --> 00:17:11.019 Just give me Matthew 18, verse 21. 00:17:11.019 --> 00:17:13.955 Peter, his forgiveness was limited. 00:17:13.955 --> 00:17:21.282 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? 00:17:21.282 --> 00:17:24.270 Up to seven times, that was according to Peter. 00:17:24.270 --> 00:17:26.194 But listen to what Jesus said. 00:17:26.194 --> 00:17:33.237 Jesus answered, I tell you, not seven times, but 77 times. 00:17:33.657 --> 00:17:45.269 Walking in the overflow of forgiveness, and this anointing I'm talking about here and the word spoken, is so that we may launch into the deep of love, the depth of forgiveness. 00:17:45.269 --> 00:17:54.382 We launch our nets in the depths of wisdom and knowledge, and God has it all, because God is wealthy, god is rich. 00:17:54.382 --> 00:18:15.038 Psalm 24 says, and for this reason, therefore, we should be bold in our prayers, we should be bold in our asking, and we have a God who wants to give us everything, including he gave us his son Jesus Christ, john 3, 16. 00:18:15.038 --> 00:18:24.623 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. 00:18:24.623 --> 00:18:30.022 God wants to give us the kingdom and he wants to give us everything. 00:18:30.022 --> 00:18:32.417 He is the source of uncommon overflow. 00:18:32.417 --> 00:18:43.769 So today we shall pray big prayers and we shall break that spirit of scarcity and lack and want, whether in spiritual matters, material matters or any other matter. 00:18:43.769 --> 00:18:47.358 We shall walk in the uncommon overflow. 00:18:47.358 --> 00:18:48.402 My cup overflows. 00:18:50.730 --> 00:18:56.641 But number two, not just the source of uncommon overflow, but the beneficiary of our uncommon overflow. 00:18:56.641 --> 00:19:03.114 When you read Psalm 23, david is at the center of the sound. 00:19:03.114 --> 00:19:05.136 He's benefiting. 00:19:05.136 --> 00:19:14.837 I mean, let me just read verse 1 to 5, and you hear it straight from the scriptures the Lord is my shepherd. 00:19:14.837 --> 00:19:18.857 Then he finishes by saying I lack nothing. 00:19:18.857 --> 00:19:25.357 Okay, he makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters. 00:19:25.357 --> 00:19:29.018 He refreshes my there is me and my. 00:19:29.018 --> 00:19:30.642 He refreshes my soul. 00:19:30.642 --> 00:19:33.435 He guides me along the right paths. 00:19:33.435 --> 00:19:44.020 For his name's sake, even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff. 00:19:44.020 --> 00:19:45.403 They comfort me. 00:19:45.403 --> 00:19:50.541 You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies. 00:19:50.541 --> 00:20:03.263 And let me just say there when God sets up a table of abundance for you, the naysayers, the haters, the enemies will not be able to do anything about it. 00:20:03.263 --> 00:20:09.395 God is going to expand your borders in a way the world will see and they'll not be able to stop it. 00:20:09.395 --> 00:20:10.680 It is unstoppable. 00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:15.779 And then he goes on to say you anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. 00:20:15.779 --> 00:20:26.839 Of course I could read verse 6 as well Surely, your goodness and love will do what Follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. 00:20:27.349 --> 00:20:37.276 So at the center of that scripture is a person God cares for people, and God in all his economy and planning. 00:20:37.276 --> 00:20:42.065 He has you and me at the center of that plan. 00:20:42.065 --> 00:20:59.289 In fact, earlier on this week I was speaking at Roiro Prison Staff Prison Training College, where they train prison warders, and I went with Pastor Mashina and you know, pastor Mashina, we had how many? 00:20:59.289 --> 00:20:59.951 Three thousand. 00:20:59.951 --> 00:21:09.740 Yeah, it was a big meeting and I was addressing that meeting as these warders were being inducted to undergo their training, and I gave them that one verse. 00:21:09.740 --> 00:21:17.259 You remember we had a very good time this week, yeah, at Rado, and the scripture was Jeremiah 29, 11. 00:21:18.111 --> 00:21:24.561 God says I alone know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. 00:21:24.561 --> 00:21:28.395 Plans to do what To prosper you and not to harm you. 00:21:28.395 --> 00:21:29.589 Plans to do what To prosper you and not to harm you. 00:21:29.589 --> 00:21:38.557 Plans to give you hope in our future Divine intervention regarding you, so that your cup overflows. 00:21:38.557 --> 00:21:39.861 Is planned. 00:21:39.861 --> 00:21:48.477 And God is very intentional, he's very deliberate, and it doesn't matter what is happening around us. 00:21:48.477 --> 00:21:52.113 God will achieve what he says that he's going to achieve. 00:21:52.875 --> 00:22:00.416 And so, in terms of God's plan, man is very, very important and that is why, in creation, he takes Adam. 00:22:00.416 --> 00:22:08.526 After he had finished everything, he puts Adam in the garden and he says now this is yours, you go take care of it, you go nurture it. 00:22:08.526 --> 00:22:11.775 God is bringing big estates in your direction, hallelujah. 00:22:11.775 --> 00:22:25.636 And he's going to say you are at the center of this whole program because that's what God wants to do and therefore you are in line for God's provision and God is sending something in your direction. 00:22:25.636 --> 00:22:30.836 You can only miss it if you move, if you shift, if you allow yourself to miss it. 00:22:31.930 --> 00:22:40.500 God's storehouses are open right now, because of Jesus Christ and because of the cross, salvation is available in abundance. 00:22:40.500 --> 00:22:42.977 And if you're here, not born again. 00:22:42.977 --> 00:22:51.884 I want to say, through the cross, everything needed, every ingredient needed for your total, complete salvation. 00:22:51.884 --> 00:22:57.561 In fact, john 8, 36 says whoever the Son of God sets free is free. 00:22:57.561 --> 00:23:00.309 Indeed, that's a word of abundance, actually it's a word of overflow. 00:23:00.309 --> 00:23:06.824 Free and free, indeed, is through the cross, in the blood of Jesus Christ. 00:23:06.824 --> 00:23:17.303 God, in his wonderful design and planning for salvation, he worked it out and today it is possible for you to walk in abundance of salvation. 00:23:17.303 --> 00:23:26.898 The things that God has generated or created, they have a beneficiary, and that beneficiary is you and me. 00:23:26.898 --> 00:23:38.958 And that is why, god, we must ask God now to crack whatever it is that interrupts that God has supplied, the beneficiary has not received. 00:23:38.958 --> 00:23:41.478 Now we must really crack it. 00:23:42.631 --> 00:23:48.152 When Jesus comes to the boat of Simon verse six and seven of chapter five and he comes to that boat Simon verse 6 and 7 of chapter 5. 00:23:48.152 --> 00:23:52.894 And he comes to that boat, he's finding they have nothing. 00:23:52.894 --> 00:23:55.634 But he's going to crack the problem. 00:23:55.634 --> 00:23:57.355 They really caught nothing. 00:23:57.355 --> 00:24:00.196 They worked the whole night and they caught nothing. 00:24:00.196 --> 00:24:01.557 It was in the morning. 00:24:01.557 --> 00:24:03.218 They were at the water's edge. 00:24:03.218 --> 00:24:06.578 They were just pulling weeds out of the net. 00:24:06.578 --> 00:24:09.720 You can't go sell weeds in the shop. 00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:11.800 They were basically wholesalers. 00:24:11.800 --> 00:24:15.502 They brought fish in bulk, they were business people. 00:24:15.502 --> 00:24:26.067 And then you would have the second tire come and buy, and then the next tire go to Kapernahum and all the other towns and they sell fish. 00:24:26.067 --> 00:24:34.569 But the supply line was starting right at the lakeside and then the chain would go all the way to the shops or wherever they were selling their fish. 00:24:34.569 --> 00:24:43.861 And fish was very, very important, and so for them not to catch a thing, you can imagine how many people were actually affected. 00:24:44.490 --> 00:24:45.997 And Jesus showed up. 00:24:45.997 --> 00:24:50.856 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. 00:24:50.856 --> 00:24:53.096 Give me verse 6 and 7. 00:24:53.096 --> 00:24:54.359 Verse 6 and 7. 00:24:54.359 --> 00:25:01.116 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 00:25:01.116 --> 00:25:10.393 They signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats to the full From a place of lack. 00:25:11.054 --> 00:25:14.864 Suddenly, the word of God spoken to this marketplace people. 00:25:14.864 --> 00:25:23.441 He gives them a marketplace word, the marketplace word that cracks marketplace dynamics. 00:25:23.441 --> 00:25:25.002 He said launch into the deep. 00:25:25.002 --> 00:25:26.330 And they obeyed. 00:25:26.330 --> 00:25:40.163 They threw their nets and the problem that was there a few hours ago suddenly becomes a matter of the past, and I want to say that the need you have is suddenly going to be a thing of the past in Jesus' name. 00:25:40.163 --> 00:25:41.915 It doesn't matter its size. 00:25:41.915 --> 00:25:46.076 You have toiled for far too long and caught nothing. 00:25:46.076 --> 00:25:54.900 But the master, the king, has picked on you and you're going to be the beneficiary of what God is about to do. 00:25:55.250 --> 00:25:57.017 So his stores are open. 00:25:57.017 --> 00:25:59.036 They were opened by the cross. 00:25:59.036 --> 00:26:01.416 Jesus paid it all. 00:26:01.416 --> 00:26:03.817 He paid through his blood. 00:26:03.817 --> 00:26:06.250 Angels there are so many angels. 00:26:06.250 --> 00:26:10.161 In fact, two thirds of the angels never rebelled. 00:26:10.161 --> 00:26:13.138 One-third of the angels rebelled. 00:26:13.138 --> 00:26:30.310 So for every one rebellious angel resisting your progress, there are two obedient angels supporting your progress, and that is why the Bible says we are more than conquerors, through Christ Jesus, our Lord. 00:26:30.310 --> 00:26:35.343 And then it says those who are for us are more than those who are against us. 00:26:35.343 --> 00:26:48.784 So tell yourself that for every one angel resisting my next move, there are two angels that God has raised that are actually working for my progress and also for my success. 00:26:48.784 --> 00:26:50.576 You are the beneficiary. 00:26:51.009 --> 00:27:13.856 So not only are the stores open, god has laid an infrastructure of angels to actually make sure that these supply lines are well attended to and, as I speak here today and for the sake of Africa, I pray that the want and lack in our continent, whether spiritual or material, it is cracked by the Holy Spirit, that the yoke is broken. 00:27:13.856 --> 00:27:24.201 It is backbone is broken and even over Kenya, from this altar, in Jesus' name, I decree and declare the breaking of the yoke of lack and want. 00:27:24.201 --> 00:27:29.299 In Jesus' name, whatever kind of poverty that might be, let's give a hand to the Lord. 00:27:29.299 --> 00:27:30.451 It's broken. 00:27:30.451 --> 00:27:36.040 It's broken and that is why it's a spirit-led movement. 00:27:36.040 --> 00:27:38.911 It takes the power of God, not the hand of man. 00:27:38.911 --> 00:27:48.603 Matthew 19, verse 26, says with man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. 00:27:48.603 --> 00:27:55.757 Believe us, believe, go ahead and believe, because you are a beneficiary. 00:27:55.757 --> 00:27:57.777 It is all there for you. 00:27:58.430 --> 00:28:01.515 We are co-heirs with Christ In Romans, chapter 8. 00:28:01.515 --> 00:28:05.059 Yeah, I believe, from verse 14 up to verse 17. 00:28:05.059 --> 00:28:13.117 And we have been raised to a very, very special place, and those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 00:28:13.117 --> 00:28:14.602 You are a son, you're a daughter. 00:28:14.602 --> 00:28:19.298 The Spirit you receive does not make you slaves so that you live in fear again. 00:28:19.298 --> 00:28:23.141 Rather, the Spirit you receive brought about your adoption. 00:28:23.141 --> 00:28:34.480 That is a legal word that gives you legal status to be a co-heir in the things of God, adoption to sonship, and by him we cry Abba, father. 00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:38.800 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 00:28:38.800 --> 00:28:44.955 Now, if we are God, we are children, then we are heirs, heirs. 00:28:44.955 --> 00:28:56.710 You are a beneficiary, yes, together with Christ, heirs, heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his suffering In order that we may also share in his glory. 00:28:56.710 --> 00:29:02.069 This is your position, it is my position, and it is God's good pleasure to give us the kingdom. 00:29:02.069 --> 00:29:04.839 He's giving it to his people. 00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:07.490 Joel 2, verse 23. 00:29:07.490 --> 00:29:09.755 Joel 2, verse 23. 00:29:09.755 --> 00:29:11.238 Joel 2, verse 23. 00:29:11.238 --> 00:29:13.442 I'll just read to verse 27. 00:29:13.442 --> 00:29:21.528 And I would like for you to underline how many times it's saying my, mine or I, just like it was in Psalms 23. 00:29:21.528 --> 00:29:25.690 Because you and I are the focus of God's generosity. 00:29:25.690 --> 00:29:28.153 Okay, be glad. 00:29:28.434 --> 00:29:35.200 People of Zion, rejoice in the Lord, your God, for he has given you the autumn rains. 00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:43.603 Because he is faithful, he sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before. 00:29:43.603 --> 00:29:48.340 The threshing floors will be filled with grain, hallelujah. 00:29:48.340 --> 00:29:53.378 The vat will overflow with new wine and oil. 00:29:53.378 --> 00:30:01.522 I will repay you for the years what the locusts have eaten, the great locusts and the young locusts, all of them, it doesn't matter. 00:30:01.522 --> 00:30:12.740 God is saying I'm taking charge, I'm going to repay you the other locusts, big, small, other, and locusts, all of them, my great army that I send among you. 00:30:12.740 --> 00:30:19.739 You will have plenty to eat until you are full and you will praise the name of the Lord, your God. 00:30:19.739 --> 00:30:21.496 Go back a bit to that. 00:30:21.496 --> 00:30:23.277 You will just go back to that verse. 00:30:23.930 --> 00:30:25.434 I want us to make it first person. 00:30:25.434 --> 00:30:26.799 Let's make it first person. 00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:28.135 You're making a personal confession. 00:30:28.135 --> 00:30:37.770 I will have plenty to eat until I'm full and I will praise the name the Lord, my God. 00:30:37.770 --> 00:30:40.673 He has worked wonders for me. 00:30:40.673 --> 00:30:44.938 Never again will I be ashamed. 00:30:44.938 --> 00:30:48.121 Let's give a hand, god of Israel. 00:30:48.121 --> 00:30:57.656 So by his covenant proclamation, god has committed himself. 00:30:57.656 --> 00:31:05.109 He's a guarantor, he has committed himself to actually make your cup overflow. 00:31:05.109 --> 00:31:13.617 So every empty cup is being filled right now in Jesus' name and every empty cup shall overflow. 00:31:13.617 --> 00:31:26.435 May the peace of God overflow, may the joy of God overflow, may the love of God overflow, may the goodness of God overflow in all those spaces that have been empty. 00:31:26.435 --> 00:31:29.903 But I must move on to the purpose of uncommon flow. 00:31:29.903 --> 00:31:35.376 Not only do we have a source, and that source is God not only is there a beneficiary? 00:31:35.376 --> 00:31:38.480 Because you can have a source and there is no beneficiary. 00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:47.960 There is a source, there is a beneficiary, but there is also a purpose, and the purpose of uncommon overflow basically is impact. 00:31:48.871 --> 00:31:53.861 In verse 8 to 11 of Luke, chapter 5, verse 8 to 11,. 00:31:53.861 --> 00:32:00.637 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said go away from me, lord. 00:32:00.637 --> 00:32:02.560 I am a sinful man. 00:32:02.560 --> 00:32:16.592 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, simon's and Peter's partners. 00:32:16.592 --> 00:32:22.076 Then Jesus said to Simon don't be afraid, from now on you will fish for people. 00:32:22.076 --> 00:32:27.601 They pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed. 00:32:28.471 --> 00:32:39.799 When God comes through for you, he's leading you to an assignment, and let me say God has a big assignment for us and he's given us a vision. 00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:43.310 He makes the provision With every vision. 00:32:43.310 --> 00:32:55.643 There's a commensurate provision from God, and what God gives us is so that God, and what God gives us is so that we can be effective in our service. 00:32:55.643 --> 00:32:58.987 And this great commission. 00:32:58.987 --> 00:33:14.560 Matthew 28, verse 19 and 20, it says go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit teaching them to observe all that I've commanded you and Lord, I'll be with you to the end of the age. 00:33:14.560 --> 00:33:33.441 I want to say that the last man on the mile shall receive the gospel, because God is blessing his people and causing their cups to overflow so that they may support the fulfillment of the Great Commission. 00:33:33.441 --> 00:33:44.834 And you know, every time we put numbers here on the screen and we tell you take your phone, there's a pay bill number, is it 890? 00:33:44.834 --> 00:33:46.936 Oh, people even know it 890. 00:33:46.936 --> 00:33:57.878 900 is an opportunity for us to allow the overflow to flow, because where there is no flow, there is deadness. 00:33:59.450 --> 00:34:15.541 The Dead Sea has the River Jordan coming down into it, the Dead Sea, but it has no outlet Because the Dead Sea just receives but never gives, and you know nothing lives there. 00:34:15.541 --> 00:34:22.751 Fish can't survive. 00:34:22.751 --> 00:34:23.996 I have been there, I have traveled there. 00:34:23.996 --> 00:34:41.577 I know many of us probably have traveled to the Dead Sea, to that region of the world, and you have seen the Dead Sea as you come from the Taba border post between Egypt and Israel, and then you come and start dropping through the Araba, the escarpment Actually it's a rift valley there, it's called the Araba and you go to a very low point. 00:34:41.577 --> 00:34:44.197 And that is where the Dead Sea is. 00:34:44.197 --> 00:34:46.034 It is dead. 00:34:46.034 --> 00:34:47.378 Why? 00:34:47.378 --> 00:34:50.719 Because it has no outlet. 00:34:50.719 --> 00:35:08.726 When you don't leave your purpose, you are dead, although rich, you might have a lot of things around yourself, but there's a sense of stuffiness, a sense of deadness, a sense of lack of meaning, a sense of lack of life. 00:35:08.726 --> 00:35:22.260 And you know, purpose must find expression in overflow, and so God affords us, through the Great Commission, an opportunity to actually overflow. 00:35:23.911 --> 00:35:31.436 In the first service, I say that this church has been blessed and God placed us here. 00:35:31.436 --> 00:35:44.664 Strategic location Parklands Baptist Church is in a strategic location and that calls us for deeper reflection, trying to answer the question what does God want with us? 00:35:44.664 --> 00:35:47.329 He has favored us so generously. 00:35:47.329 --> 00:35:49.056 We have 10 acres here. 00:35:49.056 --> 00:35:58.983 You can see the parking lot with cabro, you can see the flowers, the trees, the grooming, you can see everything that is all over here, you know. 00:35:58.983 --> 00:36:04.436 But purpose is what brings life, even in the midst of plenty. 00:36:04.436 --> 00:36:07.621 And I said we need to answer the question once again. 00:36:07.621 --> 00:36:16.005 Actually, it's a question we need to answer every other year, every other month, even as individuals, refreshing, refreshing this assignment. 00:36:16.005 --> 00:36:18.757 What does God want with us? 00:36:18.757 --> 00:36:29.846 And I'm convinced, brother Sam the PDB, that God desires something big from us, not something small. 00:36:29.846 --> 00:36:38.101 I don't know whether anybody feels like me for Parklands Baptist Church that we have a big assignment and that God wants us to do it. 00:36:38.922 --> 00:36:40.592 Oftentimes we talk about Africa. 00:36:40.592 --> 00:36:56.054 I remember and I remembered even the first service when I was preaching somewhere in Uhuru Park, and that was many years ago and I was young, before we finished this sanctuary, and I was younger, not young, I'm still young. 00:36:56.054 --> 00:37:02.385 I was younger and I saw a picture. 00:37:02.385 --> 00:37:05.132 It was a divine assignment. 00:37:05.132 --> 00:37:29.829 Standing at Uhuru Park where there was the Rema Fest, in the elevated section and in the spirit I saw a map of Africa flash in front of me and then that map had a circle around it, and that map had also a map of Kenya somewhere. 00:37:29.829 --> 00:37:42.976 And as I saw that map, I heard the Lord saying I am making a provision for this vision to actually be actualized in your lifetime, and I'm glad I am here. 00:37:42.976 --> 00:37:59.840 Hallelujah Now, dr Akunji, Brother Mike, that I came and I said we got to have a map of Africa put here with a circle. 00:38:00.081 --> 00:38:09.992 That's what I saw in Uhuru Park and I remember that time, people who said no, we need to put a carpet, there is no way you can put a map after it's washed. 00:38:09.992 --> 00:38:11.938 You know the scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing. 00:38:11.938 --> 00:38:18.617 It will disappear, but thank God, somehow through a guy who was not even a Christian. 00:38:18.617 --> 00:38:21.001 Remember, yeah, he had a dot. 00:38:21.001 --> 00:38:22.943 He used to put a. 00:38:22.943 --> 00:38:24.445 A Mohindi would put a dot here. 00:38:24.445 --> 00:38:27.291 He used a red dot. 00:38:27.291 --> 00:38:32.818 He's the one who said that can be done and this is terrazzo, but you can see how colored it is. 00:38:32.818 --> 00:38:35.079 It was done those years. 00:38:35.860 --> 00:38:41.347 That is 25 years next year and, by the way, next year is a big year for us. 00:38:41.347 --> 00:38:44.041 We're celebrating 50 years. 00:38:44.041 --> 00:38:45.009 We'll be celebrating next year. 00:38:45.009 --> 00:38:50.456 We shall be celebrating 50 years, the life of this church, 50 years. 00:38:50.456 --> 00:38:53.532 And also we shall be doing revival, season 12. 00:38:53.913 --> 00:39:01.471 Number 12 is the number of divine government, so it's a year to surrender all back to him. 00:39:01.471 --> 00:39:03.753 He has brought us this far. 00:39:03.753 --> 00:39:11.237 He is Lord, he is King, he must reign, he must rule, and so this looks like an impossible vision. 00:39:11.237 --> 00:39:30.436 And you can see, no matter how many times they have washed this place, it has never been repainted or anything, but it still looks very nice and I feel very good, brother Martin, every time I walk around here and I see these words arise and shine, Arise and shine Africa, for your light has come. 00:39:30.436 --> 00:39:35.905 Arise and shine Africa, because the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. 00:39:35.905 --> 00:39:41.782 Arise and shine Africa, because nations are coming to your light and kings to the rising of your dawn. 00:39:41.782 --> 00:39:44.117 And so it remains here. 00:39:44.117 --> 00:40:08.297 It's a vision, but it speaks back to us and keeps saying to us God has called us for something bigger than just Nairobi, than just Kenya, than Uganda, than Tanzania, than Ethiopia, here, or Sudan or Lusaka, where you've just come back from Lusaka, or Zambia, or Malawi or Zimbabwe, and the ambassador of Zimbabwe comes here, our sister Moyo. 00:40:08.297 --> 00:40:14.896 Yeah, but God has called us to take the whole of Africa and beyond for Jesus. 00:40:15.010 --> 00:40:16.175 How many believe with me? 00:40:16.175 --> 00:40:24.777 I believe it with all my heart and I am praying especially for the young generation, that God opens doors for you. 00:40:24.777 --> 00:40:28.239 I said the other day, god will bless our young generation. 00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:37.000 15 million shillings will be pocket change and you know, one of our young people came over I think they might be here with their mother to my office. 00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:43.998 And that girl, I dedicated her here when she was small and she said Pasi, you have seen me from the time I was small. 00:40:43.998 --> 00:40:45.452 Now I'm coming back. 00:40:45.452 --> 00:40:47.320 I'm strong, I'm coming back. 00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:51.677 I have listened to you over the years and I'm connected to the vision. 00:40:52.590 --> 00:40:57.922 One time you said there will be helicopters landing and taking off after the service. 00:40:57.922 --> 00:40:59.693 All of us become missionaries. 00:40:59.693 --> 00:41:04.798 We enter the helicopters, we are taken to the coast, we are taken everywhere to preach this gospel. 00:41:04.798 --> 00:41:10.777 And the girl said I took it very seriously Hallelujah, these things we say from the pulpit. 00:41:10.777 --> 00:41:17.539 And then, in the presence of her mother, she said I am here and I think I should buy you a helicopter. 00:41:17.539 --> 00:41:20.153 Would that be all right? 00:41:20.153 --> 00:41:22.239 Yeah, she said Dad. 00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:29.240 I said no, we will do it for the church and we get helicopters, like was prophesied a long time ago. 00:41:30.672 --> 00:41:47.556 The young generation, it's a young girl dealing with oil and gas in the Middle East and Africa, and you know, right there she said oh, pasi, by the way, today I must bless you because I'm back and I'm able, I'll give you foreign currency. 00:41:47.556 --> 00:42:04.396 And so she removed $100 bills very neat, very nice, crisp and straight like this and, leaning over the table, said Pastor, here I'm back, I'm able, I support the ministry you're doing in Jesus' name. 00:42:04.396 --> 00:42:08.043 A young girl, that's a young girl, that's a young girl. 00:42:08.043 --> 00:42:11.592 And so God wants to give more. 00:42:11.592 --> 00:42:32.186 But if purpose is not engaged, then those doors lock and resources don't show up, because resources are tied to the vision and resources are tied to the mission and God wants to do big things through a big church like this one, and resources will flow. 00:42:32.666 --> 00:42:41.871 I said in the first service I was quickened to say that that we had a vision of building a 10,000 plus cedar sanctuary. 00:42:41.871 --> 00:42:43.313 How many remember? 00:42:43.313 --> 00:42:46.280 Yeah, I can see a number of hands. 00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:48.364 You remember what happened? 00:42:48.364 --> 00:42:49.652 What happened? 00:42:49.652 --> 00:42:50.574 Has God forgotten? 00:42:50.574 --> 00:42:51.896 I believe no. 00:42:51.896 --> 00:42:56.954 We walked away from that vision because we felt we were not able. 00:42:56.954 --> 00:42:57.896 We didn't have money. 00:42:57.896 --> 00:43:00.902 God had not said did he not have money? 00:43:00.902 --> 00:43:05.659 Neither has the need to preach a gospel been totally been fulfilled. 00:43:05.659 --> 00:43:08.204 And we went for alternatives. 00:43:08.204 --> 00:43:11.217
