Speaker 1: I have a message titled my Cup Overflows.
Speaker 1: This message comes in the wider context of the theme of the month in partition of an uncommon overflow, spirit-led abundance.
Speaker 1: So the title of the message is my Cup Overflows, and I am inspired by Psalm 23,.
Speaker 1: It's a psalm.
Speaker 1: We all know, verse 1 to 6.
Speaker 1: And I'll also read from Luke, chapter 5, from verse 1 to 11.
Speaker 1: In honor of God's word, I ask us to stand up so that we can read the Bible together Psalm 23.
Speaker 1: The Lord is my shepherd.
Speaker 1: I lack nothing.
Speaker 1: He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters.
Speaker 1: He refreshes my soul.
Speaker 1: He guides me along the right paths.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: They comfort me.
Speaker 1: You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies.
Speaker 1: You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows.
Speaker 1: I want us to read go back to that statement.
Speaker 1: Let's read that part together.
Speaker 1: You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: The next text is Luke, chapter 5, luke, chapter 5, verse 1.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore.
Speaker 1: Then he sat down, taught the people from the boat.
Speaker 1: When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon put out into deep water and let down the nets for a catch.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said Go away from me, lord, I am a sinful man.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: And so God take over.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, we pray Amen.
Speaker 1: My cup overflows.
Speaker 1: I just read the text From Psalm 23,.
Speaker 1: This is David's testimony.
Speaker 1: In verse 5, he says my cup overflows.
Speaker 1: And I want to say that this will become somebody's testimony today.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, david testified.
Speaker 1: You can say I will testify because my cup will overflow, and you know Jesus prophesied this overflow.
Speaker 1: It is an overflow that has attended many individuals and many families and many groups over the centuries.
Speaker 1: Jesus prophesied over 2,000 years ago in John 7, 38, overflow.
Speaker 1: John 7, verse 38 this is what it says.
Speaker 1: Whoever believes in me.
Speaker 1: Jesus said, as scriptures have said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: It's just been trickles.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: And so we are here to recall and to trigger that prophecy over our lives.
Speaker 1: We see it happening in David's life, psalm 23.
Speaker 1: We see it happening in Simon James and the partners in Luke, chapter 5.
Speaker 1: We see it happening in the scripture over and over again and over the centuries.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: My cup overflows.
Speaker 1: That is the testament, that is a statement we shall carry from here the whole week.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: So three things I want to share here briefly.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: As you look at the whole Psalm, you read from verse 1 to 6, it's actually a statement of faith.
Speaker 1: It's also a statement of conviction and David is very, very clear where his overflow is coming from.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, the oil of overflow, he anoints my head with oil.
Speaker 1: He, god, anoints my head with oil.
Speaker 1: My cup, my cup, my cup runneth over.
Speaker 1: I want you to say he anoints my head with oil, my cup raneth over.
Speaker 1: David has a clear understanding of the source of uncommon overflow in his life.
Speaker 1: And this oil here, it's ordinary oil and it's very interesting.
Speaker 1: Pastor Regan, I anointed people in my office after first service, the team also from Tanzania.
Speaker 1: They came from Dar es Salaam.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Kiswahili seme nini Ya kububujika Tunaomba utumuagia Overflow.
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 1: To be blessed?
Speaker 1: We pray that we may find the power of the Lord.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Psalm 51, verse 17 says the following Psalm 51, verse 17.
Speaker 1: A broken and a contrite spirit, god will not despise.
Speaker 1: That's a sacrifice God is looking for.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: It is called the anointing of overflow.
Speaker 1: You anoint my head with oil and because of that my cup runneth over.
Speaker 1: And he's talking about God.
Speaker 1: David understands the source of uncommon overflow and he knows it doesn't come from human strength or human power.
Speaker 1: It comes from above and that is why he has to turn to God and for his anointing.
Speaker 1: And in verse 1 of Psalm 23, he says the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
Speaker 1: He understands that with the Lord being his shepherd, he will lack nothing.
Speaker 1: And so in verse 5, he grows that statement in terms of his conviction.
Speaker 1: He's growing.
Speaker 1: And he says you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
Speaker 1: You anoint my head with oil and my cup run it over.
Speaker 1: May God release his anointing of our flow upon somebody right now, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: And you know that anointing breaks the yoke of lack.
Speaker 1: You knowing breaks the yoke of luck.
Speaker 1: You know it breaks that yoke In your own strength.
Speaker 1: You can't.
Speaker 1: You realize that Peter and his group had tried their whole night.
Speaker 1: They had labored In chapter 5, verse 4 and 5.
Speaker 1: They had labored the whole night and they caught nothing.
Speaker 1: You know they caught nothing.
Speaker 1: When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon put out into deep water and let down the nets for a catch.
Speaker 1: Simon answered and so David seeks the anointing of overflow.
Speaker 1: Peter and company received the word that brings overflow.
Speaker 1: There is an anointing and there is a word.
Speaker 1: The anointing and the word break the yoke of lack and want.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Suddenly a whole bigamy rose up.
Speaker 1: I am seeing a new season for somebody right here, in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: I am here to say that God is the source of your and my uncommon overflow.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: It will not come from your strength, from who you know or you don't know.
Speaker 1: It will not come from your strength.
Speaker 1: It will come when you break before God and you actually say God.
Speaker 1: You are, like I said another Sunday, preaching here God, you are my source, the source of uncommon overflow, and God is not poor.
Speaker 1: God is not poor.
Speaker 1: When you read 1 Chronicles 29, from verse 10 to 16, you can see people turning to God and acknowledging him as the source.
Speaker 1: David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying praise.
Speaker 1: Be to you, lord, the God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Yours, lord, is the kingdom.
Speaker 1: You are exalted as head over all Wealth and honor come from you.
Speaker 1: You are the ruler of all things.
Speaker 1: In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all.
Speaker 1: 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?
Speaker 1: Everything comes from you and we have given you only what comes from your hand.
Speaker 1: We are foreigners and strangers in your sight as well.
Speaker 1: All our ancestors.
Speaker 1: Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Let's give a hand clap to God because he's rich, he's wealthy and he has all of these things.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: That was God's design from the beginning.
Speaker 1: It is his design today and therefore the psalmist and Simon Peter understand that.
Speaker 1: And common overflow comes from God, the Lord.
Speaker 1: God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Is somebody receiving that right now?
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: He did it for David, did it for Simon and company.
Speaker 1: He is doing it in the 21st century and he's doing it for us.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: We shall walk in the overflow of salvation, the overflow of deliverance.
Speaker 1: We shall walk in the overflow of resources.
Speaker 1: We shall walk in the overflow of love.
Speaker 1: We shall walk in the overflow of forgiveness.
Speaker 1: Because even Peter, his forgiveness was limited.
Speaker 1: When you read Matthew 18, verse 21.
Speaker 1: Just give me Matthew 18, verse 21.
Speaker 1: Peter, his forgiveness was limited.
Speaker 1: Then Peter came to Jesus and asked Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me?
Speaker 1: Up to seven times, that was according to Peter.
Speaker 1: But listen to what Jesus said.
Speaker 1: Jesus answered, I tell you, not seven times, but 77 times.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: We launch our nets in the depths of wisdom and knowledge, and God has it all, because God is wealthy, god is rich.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: God wants to give us the kingdom and he wants to give us everything.
Speaker 1: He is the source of uncommon overflow.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: We shall walk in the uncommon overflow.
Speaker 1: My cup overflows.
Speaker 1: But number two, not just the source of uncommon overflow, but the beneficiary of our uncommon overflow.
Speaker 1: When you read Psalm 23, david is at the center of the sound.
Speaker 1: He's benefiting.
Speaker 1: I mean, let me just read verse 1 to 5, and you hear it straight from the scriptures the Lord is my shepherd.
Speaker 1: Then he finishes by saying I lack nothing.
Speaker 1: Okay, he makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters.
Speaker 1: He refreshes my there is me and my.
Speaker 1: He refreshes my soul.
Speaker 1: He guides me along the right paths.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: They comfort me.
Speaker 1: You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: God is going to expand your borders in a way the world will see and they'll not be able to stop it.
Speaker 1: It is unstoppable.
Speaker 1: And then he goes on to say you anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: So at the center of that scripture is a person God cares for people, and God in all his economy and planning.
Speaker 1: He has you and me at the center of that plan.
Speaker 1: 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?
Speaker 1: Three thousand.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: You remember we had a very good time this week, yeah, at Rado, and the scripture was Jeremiah 29, 11.
Speaker 1: God says I alone know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord.
Speaker 1: Plans to do what To prosper you and not to harm you.
Speaker 1: Plans to give you hope in our future Divine intervention regarding you, so that your cup overflows.
Speaker 1: Is planned.
Speaker 1: And God is very intentional, he's very deliberate, and it doesn't matter what is happening around us.
Speaker 1: God will achieve what he says that he's going to achieve.
Speaker 1: And so, in terms of God's plan, man is very, very important and that is why, in creation, he takes Adam.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: God is bringing big estates in your direction, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: You can only miss it if you move, if you shift, if you allow yourself to miss it.
Speaker 1: God's storehouses are open right now, because of Jesus Christ and because of the cross, salvation is available in abundance.
Speaker 1: And if you're here, not born again.
Speaker 1: I want to say, through the cross, everything needed, every ingredient needed for your total, complete salvation.
Speaker 1: In fact, john 8, 36 says whoever the Son of God sets free is free.
Speaker 1: Indeed, that's a word of abundance, actually it's a word of overflow.
Speaker 1: Free and free, indeed, is through the cross, in the blood of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: The things that God has generated or created, they have a beneficiary, and that beneficiary is you and me.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Now we must really crack it.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: And he comes to that boat, he's finding they have nothing.
Speaker 1: But he's going to crack the problem.
Speaker 1: They really caught nothing.
Speaker 1: They worked the whole night and they caught nothing.
Speaker 1: It was in the morning.
Speaker 1: They were at the water's edge.
Speaker 1: They were just pulling weeds out of the net.
Speaker 1: You can't go sell weeds in the shop.
Speaker 1: They were basically wholesalers.
Speaker 1: They brought fish in bulk, they were business people.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: And fish was very, very important, and so for them not to catch a thing, you can imagine how many people were actually affected.
Speaker 1: And Jesus showed up.
Speaker 1: He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore.
Speaker 1: Give me verse 6 and 7.
Speaker 1: Verse 6 and 7.
Speaker 1: When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Suddenly, the word of God spoken to this marketplace people.
Speaker 1: He gives them a marketplace word, the marketplace word that cracks marketplace dynamics.
Speaker 1: He said launch into the deep.
Speaker 1: And they obeyed.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter its size.
Speaker 1: You have toiled for far too long and caught nothing.
Speaker 1: But the master, the king, has picked on you and you're going to be the beneficiary of what God is about to do.
Speaker 1: So his stores are open.
Speaker 1: They were opened by the cross.
Speaker 1: Jesus paid it all.
Speaker 1: He paid through his blood.
Speaker 1: Angels there are so many angels.
Speaker 1: In fact, two thirds of the angels never rebelled.
Speaker 1: One-third of the angels rebelled.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: And then it says those who are for us are more than those who are against us.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: You are the beneficiary.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, whatever kind of poverty that might be, let's give a hand to the Lord.
Speaker 1: It's broken.
Speaker 1: It's broken and that is why it's a spirit-led movement.
Speaker 1: It takes the power of God, not the hand of man.
Speaker 1: Matthew 19, verse 26, says with man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
Speaker 1: Believe us, believe, go ahead and believe, because you are a beneficiary.
Speaker 1: It is all there for you.
Speaker 1: We are co-heirs with Christ In Romans, chapter 8.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe, from verse 14 up to verse 17.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: You are a son, you're a daughter.
Speaker 1: The Spirit you receive does not make you slaves so that you live in fear again.
Speaker 1: Rather, the Spirit you receive brought about your adoption.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
Speaker 1: Now, if we are God, we are children, then we are heirs, heirs.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: This is your position, it is my position, and it is God's good pleasure to give us the kingdom.
Speaker 1: He's giving it to his people.
Speaker 1: Joel 2, verse 23.
Speaker 1: I'll just read to verse 27.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Because you and I are the focus of God's generosity.
Speaker 1: Okay, be glad.
Speaker 1: People of Zion, rejoice in the Lord, your God, for he has given you the autumn rains.
Speaker 1: Because he is faithful, he sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.
Speaker 1: The threshing floors will be filled with grain, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: The vat will overflow with new wine and oil.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: You will have plenty to eat until you are full and you will praise the name of the Lord, your God.
Speaker 1: Go back a bit to that.
Speaker 1: You will just go back to that verse.
Speaker 1: I want us to make it first person.
Speaker 1: Let's make it first person.
Speaker 1: You're making a personal confession.
Speaker 1: I will have plenty to eat until I'm full and I will praise the name the Lord, my God.
Speaker 1: He has worked wonders for me.
Speaker 1: Never again will I be ashamed.
Speaker 1: Let's give a hand, god of Israel.
Speaker 1: So by his covenant proclamation, god has committed himself.
Speaker 1: He's a guarantor, he has committed himself to actually make your cup overflow.
Speaker 1: So every empty cup is being filled right now in Jesus' name and every empty cup shall overflow.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: But I must move on to the purpose of uncommon flow.
Speaker 1: Not only do we have a source, and that source is God not only is there a beneficiary?
Speaker 1: Because you can have a source and there is no beneficiary.
Speaker 1: There is a source, there is a beneficiary, but there is also a purpose, and the purpose of uncommon overflow basically is impact.
Speaker 1: In verse 8 to 11 of Luke, chapter 5, verse 8 to 11,.
Speaker 1: When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said go away from me, lord.
Speaker 1: I am a sinful man.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Then Jesus said to Simon don't be afraid, from now on you will fish for people.
Speaker 1: They pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: He makes the provision With every vision.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: And this great commission.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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?
Speaker 1: Oh, people even know it 890.
Speaker 1: 900 is an opportunity for us to allow the overflow to flow, because where there is no flow, there is deadness.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Fish can't survive.
Speaker 1: I have been there, I have traveled there.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: And that is where the Dead Sea is.
Speaker 1: It is dead.
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 1: Because it has no outlet.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: And you know, purpose must find expression in overflow, and so God affords us, through the Great Commission, an opportunity to actually overflow.
Speaker 1: In the first service, I say that this church has been blessed and God placed us here.
Speaker 1: 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?
Speaker 1: He has favored us so generously.
Speaker 1: We have 10 acres here.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: But purpose is what brings life, even in the midst of plenty.
Speaker 1: And I said we need to answer the question once again.
Speaker 1: Actually, it's a question we need to answer every other year, every other month, even as individuals, refreshing, refreshing this assignment.
Speaker 1: What does God want with us?
Speaker 1: And I'm convinced, brother Sam the PDB, that God desires something big from us, not something small.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Oftentimes we talk about Africa.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: I was younger and I saw a picture.
Speaker 1: It was a divine assignment.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: You know the scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing.
Speaker 1: It will disappear, but thank God, somehow through a guy who was not even a Christian.
Speaker 1: Remember, yeah, he had a dot.
Speaker 1: He used to put a.
Speaker 1: A Mohindi would put a dot here.
Speaker 1: He used a red dot.
Speaker 1: He's the one who said that can be done and this is terrazzo, but you can see how colored it is.
Speaker 1: It was done those years.
Speaker 1: That is 25 years next year and, by the way, next year is a big year for us.
Speaker 1: We're celebrating 50 years.
Speaker 1: We'll be celebrating next year.
Speaker 1: We shall be celebrating 50 years, the life of this church, 50 years.
Speaker 1: And also we shall be doing revival, season 12.
Speaker 1: Number 12 is the number of divine government, so it's a year to surrender all back to him.
Speaker 1: He has brought us this far.
Speaker 1: He is Lord, he is King, he must reign, he must rule, and so this looks like an impossible vision.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Arise and shine Africa, because the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
Speaker 1: Arise and shine Africa, because nations are coming to your light and kings to the rising of your dawn.
Speaker 1: And so it remains here.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but God has called us to take the whole of Africa and beyond for Jesus.
Speaker 1: How many believe with me?
Speaker 1: I believe it with all my heart and I am praying especially for the young generation, that God opens doors for you.
Speaker 1: I said the other day, god will bless our young generation.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Now I'm coming back.
Speaker 1: I'm strong, I'm coming back.
Speaker 1: I have listened to you over the years and I'm connected to the vision.
Speaker 1: One time you said there will be helicopters landing and taking off after the service.
Speaker 1: All of us become missionaries.
Speaker 1: We enter the helicopters, we are taken to the coast, we are taken everywhere to preach this gospel.
Speaker 1: And the girl said I took it very seriously Hallelujah, these things we say from the pulpit.
Speaker 1: And then, in the presence of her mother, she said I am here and I think I should buy you a helicopter.
Speaker 1: Would that be all right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, she said Dad.
Speaker 1: I said no, we will do it for the church and we get helicopters, like was prophesied a long time ago.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: A young girl, that's a young girl, that's a young girl.
Speaker 1: And so God wants to give more.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: How many remember?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see a number of hands.
Speaker 1: You remember what happened?
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 1: Has God forgotten?
Speaker 1: I believe no.
Speaker 1: We walked away from that vision because we felt we were not able.
Speaker 1: We didn't have money.
Speaker 1: God had not said did he not have money?
Speaker 1: Neither has the need to preach a gospel been totally been fulfilled.
Speaker 1: And we went for alternatives.
Speaker 1: Some of them are there, like that one there.
Speaker 1: Maybe the camera is able to.
Speaker 1: We started like negotiating with God and saying no, no, no, it cannot be that.
Speaker 1: We will go for something smaller according to our understanding.
Speaker 1: And we said we shall do an overflow here.
Speaker 1: This one's your senior.
Speaker 1: We'll just add something here, we'll just configure something here so that now people can sit here, others there, and we have screens down.
Speaker 1: I want to say what God puts in people's hearts must never be abandoned, for whatever reason that dream, like Joseph had a dream.
Speaker 1: The pit came, potiphar's house came, the prison came the three Ps that wanted to destroy Joseph's dream.
Speaker 1: But what God has ordained and what God has determined must be realized and must be fulfilled.
Speaker 1: And so the gifts of God are for a purpose Ten acres of land, such a building, a nice parking and all these things, the vehicles God has given you, you know the jobs and the career paths that you're pursuing, everything that God gives us is for a purpose and I suggest to us that that purpose, whichever direction you look at it, is a great commission and God wants us therefore to go and make disciples of all nations.
Speaker 1: And let me say to Africa Africa, your season has come.
Speaker 1: Africa, you are blessed and endowed.
Speaker 1: Africa, the prophecy has come that has said you'll take the gospel to the ends of the earth, and Kenya especially.
Speaker 1: You have a prophetic dispensation.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, I say people will arise from Kenya.
Speaker 1: They will go north, south, east and west.
Speaker 1: They shall overflow with rivers of healing.
Speaker 1: They will bring healing and hope to the nations.
Speaker 1: Let me say Kenyans will be sought after.
Speaker 1: Isaiah 60, verse 3.
Speaker 1: Kenyans will be sought after that.
Speaker 1: 60, verse 3.
Speaker 1: Kenyans will be sought after.
Speaker 1: That's a prophetic word to this nation and give a hand to the Lord, kenya and Kenyans and Africa, the purpose of uncommon overflow.
Speaker 1: Therefore, my fellow Kenyans and Africans, let us not just fill our stomachs, fill our bedrooms with so many things we don't even need and our sitting rooms and those compounds with stuff.
Speaker 1: It gets so stuffy it becomes almost like the rich fool in Luke, chapter 12.
Speaker 1: I believe in verse 21, luke, chapter 12, I mean verse 20 or 21, there where he faces judgment because abundance has come in his direction.
Speaker 1: You know, but he has not lived out the purpose for this abundance.
Speaker 1: But God said to him you fool, this very night your life will be demanded from you.
Speaker 1: Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself and so for Simon and company, what they did, they did not worship wealth or increase in their lives or the overflow.
Speaker 1: He came and they went down before Jesus.
Speaker 1: Abundance should lead you back to God because it starts with him.
Speaker 1: It's a full circle.
Speaker 1: Abundance, beneficiary, purpose back to God Because it starts with him.
Speaker 1: It's a full circle.
Speaker 1: Abundance, beneficiary, purpose back to God.
Speaker 1: You can draw a circle around those three points Because you keep moving.
Speaker 1: You keep moving around that circle like this and therefore purpose is what accomplishes the whole mission of overflow.
Speaker 1: So overflow starts with God, overflow comes to me, overflow flows through me and that is what happened to Abraham, genesis 12,.
Speaker 1: God blessed him so that he becomes a blessing, and you have become blessed so that you become a blessing.
Speaker 1: And so today, as we come to the end of this service, I will allow us just a moment of reflection under the theme my Cup Overflows, and I say this is prophetic.
Speaker 1: This is your portion and my portion, in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Your cup will overflow, this overflow as we reflect.
Speaker 1: Reflect about God, worship Him, bless him, thank him because he put these things together.
Speaker 1: But secondly, allow yourself, open yourself up for him to turn scarcity and want into abundance in your life.
Speaker 1: But thirdly, in your reflection, rededicate yourself to the mission and purpose for that which God called you.
Speaker 1: And you are serving in different platforms.
Speaker 1: Peter was serving in a boat.
Speaker 1: Jesus is not shy of coming to your professional platform, into your business unit, whatever business you do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not shy.
Speaker 1: He came to Peter's boat.
Speaker 1: David was a shepherd and God is willing to act, even in those levels shepherd levels, boat fisherman levels and begin to intervene to the extent that those ordinary people have extraordinary impact, and therefore, may God's spirit rest on Parklands Baptist Church afresh.
Speaker 1: May the anointing of overflow that probably stopped flowing and we've put some pictures in the background there.
Speaker 1: You can see a picture of the cross, you can see a picture of a hand.
Speaker 1: You can see light arise and shine.
Speaker 1: You can see a picture of a dove the Holy Spirit but you can see a picture of a hand.
Speaker 1: You can see light arise and shine.
Speaker 1: You can see a picture of a dove the Holy Spirit but you can see oil.
Speaker 1: And our prayer is that this flow of oil upon us as a church in Nairobi, kenya and here in Africa, of abundance and overflow, would start flowing again.
Speaker 1: And may this oil touch every member, every person, online and also here.
Speaker 1: And I decree and declare you and I will walk in the overflow.
Speaker 1: May we therefore become kingdom financiers.
Speaker 1: I want somebody to say I am a kingdom financier.
Speaker 1: Say it again with conviction, exactly, god will again, with conviction, exactly, god will make it possible and he will endure you in such a way the orphans, the people, health areas and all these sectors that need intervention.
Speaker 1: You will be God's hand and presence and therefore, may your overflow become somebody's revival.
Speaker 1: May your overflow become somebody's healing.
Speaker 1: May your overflow become somebody's restoration.
Speaker 1: May your overflow become somebody's direction.
Speaker 1: May your overflow become somebody's supply.
Speaker 1: May your overflow open gates for somebody.
Speaker 1: May your overflow never stop In Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, glory to God.
Speaker 1: Glory to God.
Speaker 1: I ask us to stand up.
Speaker 1: Let's all stand up.
Speaker 1: I will lead us in some declarations here, and then we shall have the benediction.
Speaker 1: You can say this after me I am stepping into a season of uncommon overflow, and then we shall have the benediction.
Speaker 1: You can say this after me I am stepping into a season of uncommon overflow.
Speaker 1: My cup shall never run dry.
Speaker 1: My nets shall never be empty.
Speaker 1: The work of my hands shall prosper.
Speaker 1: Scarcity and stagnation are cancelled in my life.
Speaker 1: The goodness of God will follow me all the days of my life.
Speaker 1: I will lend to many nations but borrow from none.
Speaker 1: My God will supply all my needs according to His riches.
Speaker 1: In glory by Christ Jesus, I will support kingdom work with my overflow.
Speaker 1: The needs of many will be met from what God supplies me.
Speaker 1: I will be a kingdom financier.
Speaker 1: Many people will be saved and restored from my abundance.
Speaker 1: Churches will be planted, missionaries will be commissioned.
Speaker 1: Through my support.
Speaker 1: I surrender my overflow to God.
Speaker 1: Jesus is King and Lord over my life.
Speaker 1: I will forever seek his kingdom first, and all these other things shall follow me.
Speaker 1: I am blessed through and through in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Let's give a hand to the Lord.
Speaker 1: Glory to his name, glory to his name, amen.
Speaker 1: Today I'm led to just pick the priestly blessing found in the book of Numbers, chapter 6.
Speaker 1: If we can lift our hands to God Now, the Lord bless you.
Speaker 1: The Lord cause his face to shine upon you.
Speaker 1: The Lord be gracious to you.
Speaker 1: The Lord turn his face toward you.
Speaker 1: The Lord give you peace In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: And we all say another hand to Jesus.
Speaker 1: Glory, glory, glory to God.
Speaker 1: You are blessed on Monday, blessed on Tuesday, blessed on Wednesday, blessed on Thursday, blessed on Friday.
Speaker 1: Blessed on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Blessed on Thursday.
Speaker 1: Blessed on Friday, blessed on Saturday, blessed on Sunday.
Speaker 1: You are coming with a testimony Next Sunday, coming with a testimony in Jesus' name.
Speaker 1: Amen and now.
Speaker 1: May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forevermore.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: Surely goodness shall follow me all.
Speaker 1: The fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forevermore.
Speaker 1: Amen.
