SPEAKER_02: As we go into July, God bless you big time.
SPEAKER_02: Let's exercise even more faith and let's give.
SPEAKER_02: I believe God has the resources we need, and we shall have a jubilee season worth the kingdom because we are raising an altar saying thank you, Jesus, for being with us for 50 years.
SPEAKER_02: A whole 50 years.
SPEAKER_02: God gave us this land.
SPEAKER_02: By the way, this is 10 acres.
SPEAKER_02: It was five acres, five acres.
SPEAKER_02: They were amalgamated into one title.
SPEAKER_02: And we didn't pay for it.
SPEAKER_02: God has been good to us.
SPEAKER_02: He has also done so many other miracles.
SPEAKER_02: He deserves the praise.
SPEAKER_02: Let's give him the praise that he deserves.
SPEAKER_02: Our God is mighty.
SPEAKER_02: And above all, he has given us you, the people.
SPEAKER_02: And I know Pastor Ambrose and I will get a chance at a point to share testimonies.
SPEAKER_02: We are moved by God.
SPEAKER_02: When we came here, like the first service, uh Ambassador King um uh Mike Mobea, remember we used to gather here at the first service?
SPEAKER_02: In fact, the pulpit was not here.
SPEAKER_02: The pulpit was a wooden pulpit.
SPEAKER_02: It would be put there because you you wouldn't come up here.
SPEAKER_02: So we would put the pulpit here, it was wooden, and about 50 to 100 people will be sitting around here, just around here.
SPEAKER_02: The rest was empty.
SPEAKER_02: Was empty.
SPEAKER_02: Even the second service, you remember?
SPEAKER_02: People we were blocking upstairs.
SPEAKER_02: Martin is here, the usher, and they were blocking all over Uko because we didn't have people up here.
SPEAKER_02: People are just down here.
SPEAKER_02: But now see what the Lord has done.
SPEAKER_02: People of every nation, you look at these flags here, it's our celebration, what the Lord has done, they have come.
SPEAKER_02: And so we are very grateful.
SPEAKER_02: We can say thank you by giving to the Lord, and God will bless you big time.
SPEAKER_02: As we celebrate 50 years of God's faithfulness at Parklands Baptist Church, we give thanks for his goodness and the legacy he has built through this ministry, Parklands Baptist.
SPEAKER_02: This is our golden jubilee.

SPEAKER_02: And because we are planning partnerships with South Sudan, Juba, for us to do work towards the north of Africa.
SPEAKER_02: And because the church in Juba has the gift of English and Arabic, I know this is a very strategic partnership for us to grow towards the north as a church.
SPEAKER_02: And in the next 50 years, we're going to be doing that.
SPEAKER_02: For that reason, we have uh our pastor, our friend from Juba, he'll come very briefly, Ken, maybe very, very briefly, uh, because of time, to just uh say hello so that you put a face to this partnership God is bringing our way.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Pastor Simon.
SPEAKER_00: Praise the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: My name is Ken Okul.
SPEAKER_00: Um, whenever I'm in South Sudan, I'm blessed to fellowship at uh Glory Baptist Church in Juba.
SPEAKER_00: And uh, I'm also blessed to have a pastor who ministers in both English and Arabic services.
SPEAKER_00: Um, maybe he'll just introduce himself.
SPEAKER_01: Good afternoon, church.
SPEAKER_01: Afternoon.
SPEAKER_01: Uh, it's a pleasure to be here today.
SPEAKER_01: I'm Pastor Eli Suoro.
SPEAKER_01: I'm uh the pastor in charge of Glory Baptist Church.
SPEAKER_01: I want to appreciate my brother Ken uh whenever he's in Juba.
SPEAKER_01: He's our regular and committed member in the church, and uh we appreciate him for always being with us.
SPEAKER_01: And I also bring greetings from the church.
SPEAKER_01: Uh I just came here briefly this week, and uh uh I was to go back on Thursday, but I think it was God's will that I should stay behind so that I can fellowship with you this Sunday.
SPEAKER_01: So it's a pleasure to be here.
SPEAKER_01: The Lord bless all of you.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
SPEAKER_00: And uh Pastor Mashina, he's just bought some uh study materials so that we will try and uh replicate the home uh the house group studies back in South Sudan.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
SPEAKER_02: Thank you, Brother Ken O'Kool, for bringing us uh Pastor Ailey from Glory Baptist Church, Juba.
SPEAKER_02: And I know from these small beginnings, a great work will grow.
SPEAKER_02: When you go back home, say hello to the congregation there.
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, thank you very much.
SPEAKER_02: I'll share a very brief message, in fact, just part of a message which could form a series, and uh it is titled The Radical Anointing.
SPEAKER_02: I'll be doing that after I do another one assign uh announcement that's very, very important.
SPEAKER_02: Now, Mother Janet, I'm a mama, Janet Amwai Nyangao, went to be with the Lord yesterday shortly after 4 p.m.
SPEAKER_02: in Kisumu Agakan Hospital.
SPEAKER_02: Mama Janet Amwaii Nyangao is a mother to our senior pastor.
SPEAKER_02: And uh Pastor Ambrose, uh, we were together yesterday, part of the day in a meeting, and uh after that he flew um to Kisumu, and uh he was just there in time uh as the mother was going uh to heaven.
SPEAKER_02: We talked again uh last night, and um um the family is together.
SPEAKER_02: Uh they are doing the preliminaries, they have moved the body uh from uh to the morchery, and uh they are gathering now, even planning the other details, and they shall advise us accordingly.
SPEAKER_02: Um, this announcement is to let you know what has happened, but also to invite you to be partakers of this journey uh in the life of our senior pastor.
SPEAKER_02: And uh we do appreciate Mama Janet Amway Nyangao, mom, who would come here once in a while, and some of you actually got to meet her, and appreciate her in a special way because uh her legacy is real.
SPEAKER_02: She's left us her son, our senior pastor, Ambrose Nyangao, and also others within that family who have worked with us over the years.
SPEAKER_02: There is the brother Jimmy, uh, some of you know him, the brother Steve O, uh, sister Elizabeth, the sister Lily, who is in the United States of America, and also Sister Christine.
SPEAKER_02: All these are people who have served this church, either here or Eastgate or other places, and therefore, mom has left us a tremendous uh legacy.
SPEAKER_02: For that reason, let's stand with them, let's pray with this family, let's follow through as we give you the details, as we enter the remains of uh our mother.
SPEAKER_02: And uh we pray um that through this journey there'll be unity and that God will continue to comfort and strengthen the family.
SPEAKER_02: As I talked with Pastor Ambrose yesterday, he was very grateful and he was very thankful because he knows that mom is in God's presence.
SPEAKER_02: And the Bible says to be absent from the body, to be present with the Lord.
SPEAKER_02: So she's there in God's presence, thanking God and celebrating and worshiping forever.
SPEAKER_02: So together with Pastor Ambrose and the family, we are grateful and we are thankful, and at the same time, we pass our condolences to this family.
SPEAKER_02: At this point, I will pray as we commit this family to the Lord, Almighty God.
SPEAKER_02: As a church, we commit uh Reverend Ambrose Nyangao, mother, and all the other children of the family, Nyangao family, into your hands, including the grandchildren, the generations that have come from Mama, Janet Amuye Nyangao.
SPEAKER_02: Lord, we commit them into your hands.
SPEAKER_02: Lord, we pray that you would be their strength, you'd be their stay, that grace would be served to them and common grace, and that God, you'd hold them by the hand in this moment of grief and take them through this particular season.
SPEAKER_02: We pray, open the gates of the future to them and lead them very, very clearly.
SPEAKER_02: We thank you for mom.
SPEAKER_02: We know she has left a good legacy, and we thank you for every day she lived.
SPEAKER_02: As a church, we praise you and we shout a shout of victory because a heroine of faith has come into your presence.
SPEAKER_02: We have prayed this prayer in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_02: And we all say, let's give a hand to the Lord.
SPEAKER_02: Appreciate Mama, Janet, Amoai, Nyangao.
SPEAKER_02: With that, we will stand for a brief message.
SPEAKER_02: Uh I'll just read the scriptures and then uh we will have a brief message.
SPEAKER_02: Let's all stand up.
SPEAKER_02: Our scripture reading today is from 1 Kings chapter 18, verse 25 to verse 40.
SPEAKER_02: 1 Kings chapter 18, uh, verse 25 to verse 40.
SPEAKER_02: And the story, this story happens on Mount Camel.
SPEAKER_02: Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, choose one of the bulls and prepare it first, since there are so many of you.
SPEAKER_02: Call on the name of your God, but do not light the fire.
SPEAKER_02: So they took the bull given them and prepared it.
SPEAKER_02: Then they called on the name of Baal from morning till noon.
SPEAKER_02: Baal, answer us, they shouted.
SPEAKER_02: But there was no response.
SPEAKER_02: No one answered, and they danced.
SPEAKER_02: This was a ritual around the altar they had made.
SPEAKER_02: At noon, time was moving, the clock was ticking.
SPEAKER_02: Elijah began to taunt them.
SPEAKER_02: Shout louder, he said.
SPEAKER_02: Surely he is a god.
SPEAKER_02: Perhaps he is deep in thought or busy or traveling.
SPEAKER_02: It's a sense of humor there.
SPEAKER_02: Maybe he's sleeping and must be awakened.
SPEAKER_02: So they shouted louder and slashed themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom, until their blood flowed.
SPEAKER_02: Midday past.
SPEAKER_02: And they continued their frantic prophesying until the time for the evening sacrifice.
SPEAKER_02: It took long, as you can see, but there was no response.
SPEAKER_02: No one answered.
SPEAKER_02: No one paid attention.
SPEAKER_02: Then Elijah said to all the people, Come here to me.
SPEAKER_02: They came to him, and he repaired the altar of the Lord which had been torn down.
SPEAKER_02: Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the three of the tribes descended from Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, Your name shall be Israel.
SPEAKER_02: With the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord, and he dug a trench around it, large enough to hold two sears of seed.
SPEAKER_02: He arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces, and laid it on the wood.
SPEAKER_02: Then he said to them, Fill four large jars with water, and pour it on the offering and on the wood.
SPEAKER_02: Do it again, he said.
SPEAKER_02: And they did it again.
SPEAKER_02: Do it a third time, he ordered, and they did it the third time.
SPEAKER_02: The water ran round, down, round, around the altar, and even filled the trench.
SPEAKER_02: At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed, Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and have done all these things at your command.
SPEAKER_02: Answer me, Lord, answer me.
SPEAKER_02: So these people will know that you are, you, Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts, uh, their hearts back again.
SPEAKER_02: Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, the soil, and also leaked up the water in the trench.
SPEAKER_02: This verse 38, I want us to read it together.
SPEAKER_02: Verse 38, let's go back.
SPEAKER_02: Let's read it together.
SPEAKER_02: Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, the soil, and also leaked up the water in the trench.
SPEAKER_02: Great.
SPEAKER_02: When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, The Lord He is God.
SPEAKER_02: He is God.
SPEAKER_02: The Lord He is God.
SPEAKER_02: Let's do the last part under quotes together.
SPEAKER_02: Let's say it.
SPEAKER_02: Then Elijah commanded them, seize the prophets of Baal.
SPEAKER_02: Don't let anyone get away.
SPEAKER_02: They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishan Valley and slaughtered them there.
SPEAKER_02: This is the word of the Lord.
SPEAKER_02: Father in heaven, uh, even for the next few minutes, I pray that you would take your word, bring it to our hearts, and that this word would become what Elijah said in Jeremiah 15, verse 16.
SPEAKER_02: Your word was found, I ate it, it became the joy and delight of my heart.
SPEAKER_02: That this word would truly become true spiritual food to feed us and strengthen us for the month of July, and even, Lord, for the days that are here remaining in the month of June.
SPEAKER_02: In Jesus' name we pray.
SPEAKER_02: Amen.
SPEAKER_02: We may have our seats.
SPEAKER_02: The radical anointing.
SPEAKER_02: Because the word radical uh means fundamental.
SPEAKER_02: It means fundamental, it means fara.
SPEAKER_02: It means far-reaching, it means affecting something, it means uh rather let me repeat, affecting something at its roots or root.
SPEAKER_02: It describes change, action, or commitment that goes beyond the ordinary, that goes beyond cosmetic, and reaches the very foundation of a matter.
SPEAKER_02: Radical, therefore, means something that brings change, that is profound, that is bold, that is decisive, that is complete, that is significant, that is wholehearted, and so the radical anointing challenges the status quo.
SPEAKER_02: That is the radical anointing.
SPEAKER_02: The anointing that was an Elijah was a radical anointing on Elijah, and Elijah, therefore, on Mount Camel challenges the status quo.
SPEAKER_02: What status quo is he challenging?
SPEAKER_02: It is one that has been brought to the nation by a woman called Jezebel.
SPEAKER_02: This woman was the daughter of Ethbal, and Ethbal was the king of Sidon, and so Jezebel came from Sidonian region, and she was a Phoenician.
SPEAKER_02: Sidon is the present-day Lebanon, and in the region where Jezebel came from, they were known for trade, they were known for wealth, they were known for worship of Baal, and also Asherah, that's pagan idols, they used to worship them.
SPEAKER_02: Like I said, she was the daughter of Ethbal, and Ethbal was the king of that region, and so the king of of Sidon, Sidon area, marries his daughter, Jezebel, to the king of the northern kingdom of Israel.
SPEAKER_02: And his name was Ahab.
SPEAKER_02: And so you have Ahab, the king of the northern kingdom of Israel, and Jezebel, the daughter of the king of Sidon, the present uh place uh Lebanon, and they form a partnership.
SPEAKER_02: Now, as this lady came to the northern kingdom of Israel, she came as a package, and she brought in wares, you know, things from her part of the world.
SPEAKER_02: And the things she brings are not just material statues of gods, it's also her faith that she's carrying and she's walking with it.
SPEAKER_02: In other words, she's having a certain anointing, she's having a certain anointing.
SPEAKER_02: But I say it is possible for people to do good and it is possible for people to do evil.
SPEAKER_02: It is possible to have evil influence, and some people can be very influential in an evil way, but it's also possible to have a good positive influence, and people can choose and can be uh influencers in a very, very positive way.
SPEAKER_02: If negative influencers come to a community, to a city, to a nation, they start small in their influence.
SPEAKER_02: The seeds of evil, they start small, and then they grow as they are allowed space.
SPEAKER_02: When Jezebel came to the northern kingdom of the nation of Israel, she was accepted, she was received, she was given freedom of the city, and she was given like a license and a blank check, and she came in at to the highest level.
SPEAKER_02: It's an altar entering at the highest office, at highest levels, and that's where she's operating from.
SPEAKER_02: And uh, and therefore her influence starts to grow, and uh slowly she begins to suggest, beginning with Ahab and then the key leaders, and then growing across into institutions and everywhere, um, that Baal is God and Asherah is God.
SPEAKER_02: She's accommodated over the years to the extent that she's able.
SPEAKER_02: To build a school of prophets, prophets of Baal and prophets of Asherah, and there were many.
SPEAKER_02: And they went around teaching whatever they were teaching and propagating everything that uh you know she was propagating, and slowly the worship of Jehovah or Yahweh begins to be aged out.
SPEAKER_02: Slowly.
SPEAKER_02: Let me say that things start small, the things that form status quo, the things that now form culture, and the things that now become a way of life, stay start small.
SPEAKER_02: And then slowly they grow and they become a ruling spirit.
SPEAKER_02: They become a dynamic that is bigger than any one of us.
SPEAKER_02: And that is what happened in the northern nation, you know, of Israel.
SPEAKER_02: This marriage between Jezebel and Ahab, and through that conduit, or rather through that open door, the Jezebelic spirit finds a resting place.
SPEAKER_02: In fact, as you will hear from the scripture, there is even a table where these prophets come and they are entertained and they are uh they are fed, they are paid by the state, as it were.
SPEAKER_02: But this grew slowly, slowly, slowly, and the Jezebelic spirit finds root in the northern kingdom of Israel.
SPEAKER_02: She was an ardent promoter of Baalism, that is Baal worship, and also an ardent promoter of Asheraism, which is the worship of Asherah.
SPEAKER_02: And uh people started subscribing, subscribers, subscribers, subscribers uh to this kind of faith.
SPEAKER_02: And uh now Baalism is a fertility god promoted sensuality, you know, and because of that, then in the nation entered the sensual spirit and also entered immorality, and for that reason, therefore, the family and its fabric was shaken and was being broken and torn to pieces because of something that entered the nation.
SPEAKER_02: But also, not only was there sensuality, but a laser fair, you know, spirit, and also a hedonistic spirit.
SPEAKER_02: This is a spirit of pleasure, and pleasure becomes an end in itself, and therefore people started pursuing all kinds of things because there was a ruling spirit, and that spirit had actually dominated.
SPEAKER_02: In the book of Revelation, it is mentioned in Revelation 220 as a way of reference, yeah, how this Jezebelic spirit tears the fabric of families and nations and cities and cultures and just destroys everything.
SPEAKER_02: Nevertheless, I have this against you.
SPEAKER_02: This is the church at Theatra.
SPEAKER_02: This is a word to the church at Theatira.
SPEAKER_02: You tolerate that woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet.
SPEAKER_02: By her teaching, she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.
SPEAKER_02: And so you can you can see it is referenced to a spirit, the spirit, Jezebelic spirit.
SPEAKER_02: And it comes, it is entertained, and slowly begins to grow.
SPEAKER_02: The same way you see your child doing something that is not right, and somehow you kind of let it grow.
SPEAKER_02: And then when the child is 18, 20, you're dealing with something formidable, something entrenched, and something saying, This is my space.
SPEAKER_02: There's nothing you can do about this.
SPEAKER_02: And you reach a place where you feel you really can't change a thing.
SPEAKER_02: And uh Jesus did talk about uh a strong man in Matthew chapter 12, verse 29, and uh these things happen slowly, very slowly, and they come, they entrench themselves, ideologies and philosophies and other things for the kingdom of darkness.
SPEAKER_02: And uh he says, or again, how can anyone enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man?
SPEAKER_02: Now, then he plunders his house.
SPEAKER_02: And this is how I bring Elijah.
SPEAKER_02: Because you see, in the text there are two key people, a worker of evil called Jezebel, and there is a worker of good called Elijah, and then there is a warfare.
SPEAKER_02: There is a there is a there is a major warfare between evil and good, and this warfare is happening at altars.
SPEAKER_02: Let me say this, and I'll say it before from here, altars matter.
SPEAKER_02: Altars matter, and let me tell you, there are altars that are usually set up that influence the life of people, whole neighborhoods, and people start behaving in a certain way.
SPEAKER_02: And I say altars matter.
SPEAKER_02: In the first service, I talked about um Kiambu Road now.
SPEAKER_02: There are so many, what are they called, those two stops?
SPEAKER_02: Pastor Masina, do you know what I'm thinking?
SPEAKER_02: All the liquor, so you know.
SPEAKER_02: They are strategically zimequa pandehi, pandehi, pandehio.
SPEAKER_02: You drive from Mozaiga Police Station, you're going to Kyambu Town.
SPEAKER_02: Of course, you'll see car bazaars, and then you'll also see all these liquor stores, and they are well paraded, decorated.
SPEAKER_02: It's like they are beckoning, you know.
SPEAKER_02: I mean, you pass there and you feel like something is calling.
SPEAKER_02: Even a pastor sometimes, you know, feels like maybe I should drive in here.
SPEAKER_02: This place is looking very well decorated and uh, you know, better than the other places.
SPEAKER_02: Very inviting, very beckoning, you know, seductive.
SPEAKER_02: It's called the spirit of Jezebel.
SPEAKER_02: And very manipulative.
SPEAKER_02: That was the other thing about Jezebel and witchcraft.
SPEAKER_02: All that coming together.
SPEAKER_02: And even strong people end up badging because of the of the temptation and you know, and the appeal that comes from there.
SPEAKER_02: So they're looking very nice, and especially at night.
SPEAKER_02: And not just Kyamburo, I think almost everywhere in the city.
SPEAKER_02: The enemy comes sowing, sowing here, sowing a seed there, sowing a seed there.
SPEAKER_02: You know, sowing here, there.
SPEAKER_02: This family, one child.
SPEAKER_02: Tutashika Moja.
SPEAKER_02: That family, two children.
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the other family, the mother figure, the other family, the father figure, and uh it's a strategy, it's a strategy, Jezebelic strategy.
SPEAKER_02: And uh she came in a small way, at the top, accepted, covered the whole place, a worker of evil, sowing seed all over.
SPEAKER_02: Then the other side is Elijah, the worker of good.
SPEAKER_02: Today, because I say the message will be short, and we can do this as a series, uh, moderator.
SPEAKER_02: I know we have another meeting shortly after this.
SPEAKER_02: I am praying that God raises Elijah.
SPEAKER_02: Hallelujah! Did you hear me?
SPEAKER_02: I am praying God raises Elijah who will open their eyes and see what the Jezebelic spirit is doing in our day and our season and begin to do something.
SPEAKER_02: And so this message has three points, but just mentioning that first point.
SPEAKER_02: When you come to the Elijah side, we need to confront because the radical anointing confronts the power of darkness.
SPEAKER_02: Number two, the radical anointing demonstrates the power of God, and number three, the the the radical anointing restores people back to God.
SPEAKER_02: It will be a series, I believe I'll finish sometime, but just taking that first point as as I'll be releasing you very shortly, is to say, Elijah's confront, Elijah's confront.
SPEAKER_02: And it is good and better when the confront the com this confronting here.
SPEAKER_02: I told you the word radical means uh uh thorough, far-reaching, affecting something at its roots.
SPEAKER_02: This it describes change, action, or commitment that goes beyond the ordinary and reaches the very foundation of a matter, and it brings change that is profound and is succinct.
SPEAKER_02: It just brings complete change, complete change.
SPEAKER_02: Therefore, Elijah rises, draws a line, and he says, enough is enough.
SPEAKER_02: And Elijah draws the line on Mount Carmel.
SPEAKER_02: Later in your own study, you can go back to 1 Kings chapter 18 and read verse 19 up to 29.
SPEAKER_02: 18, 19 up to 29, and you see how he drew the line and how he invited the confrontation.
SPEAKER_02: Because he's saying, those prophets that dine and eat with you, Ahab, get them, and I want you to bring them to the mountain with me.
SPEAKER_02: Because today we are going to have a duel between good and evil, and today there is going to be warfare.
SPEAKER_02: And today I am going to demonstrate that there is a living God who never went to sleep like the other God of the other side, who is gone on holiday and is gone on sleep.
SPEAKER_02: And today I'm going to demonstrate that there is only one God, you know, Yahweh, Jehovah.
SPEAKER_02: In fact, the name Elijah means it has two parts, El and Jah.
SPEAKER_02: You know, Eliahu.
SPEAKER_02: Eliahu.
SPEAKER_02: It means my God is Yahweh.
SPEAKER_02: He's from Tishbe in Gilead, from the eastern side of the river Jordan.
SPEAKER_02: This gentleman is a firebrand.
SPEAKER_02: He's a firebrand for God.
SPEAKER_02: And he draws a line.
SPEAKER_02: And I pray for the young people to arise in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_02: Young people, arise.
SPEAKER_02: Because if you don't arise and take your position, nobody else is going to do it for you.
SPEAKER_02: With all the things that have are happening, and you stand and you say, Ah, I've drawn a line.
SPEAKER_02: Elijah stands and he says, I have drawn a line.
SPEAKER_02: And he says, Come, come up, come, come to this place.
SPEAKER_02: And it is now Mount Camel.
SPEAKER_02: It is called the duo, uh, that fight on Mount Camel.
SPEAKER_02: It is forces of evil and forces of good.
SPEAKER_02: And right there, Elijah invites uh invites the forces of darkness and says, We are coming to a door, and we will see whether it's your God or my God who reigns and rules and prevails, whether it is the Jezebelic spirit or is the Holy Spirit who must drive this nation.
SPEAKER_02: And uh so the confronting, that's point number one, confronts the powers of darkness, is a divine confrontation.
SPEAKER_02: Therefore, uh today, as you leave, what I'm saying is don't sit back and be indifferent.
SPEAKER_02: Jubilee, one of the words of Jubilee is reset to bring the house back to order.
SPEAKER_02: Reset, bring the house back to order.
SPEAKER_02: Because at that time, so many things had happened, and the nation had gone off order.
SPEAKER_02: Is a time to implement Matthew 6, verse 10 that says, Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on others is done in heaven, and therefore, what is happening in heaven as a pattern, bring it down.
SPEAKER_02: Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.
SPEAKER_02: And so Elijah takes a position and he takes a challenge to challenge strongholds, expose deception, because through the Jezebelic spirit, idolatry had entered, replacing worship.
SPEAKER_02: Compromise had replaced conviction.
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the nation is trapped between two opinions, and all that was good had been deleted and replaced with someone.
SPEAKER_02: So it is time to bring back their house to order and the nation to order, and Africa to order, and the global order, because we talk about global orders, world trade order, I don't know which other order, but and these things have grown slowly.
SPEAKER_02: All those orders you hear around the world have grown slowly, and some of those orders have brought so much evil, so much death, so much poverty, they have marginalized so many people.
SPEAKER_02: But Elijah is rising and he's saying, No, this must not continue.
SPEAKER_02: And therefore, divine confrontation.
SPEAKER_02: A mark of radical anointing is divine confrontation in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_02: And Jesus confronted status quo.
SPEAKER_02: He also confronted many people who are demonized.
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, for example, in the book of Mark, chapter 1, verse 21 to 28.
SPEAKER_02: You know, as I come to a close, he's he's dealing with a situation there, and uh he must not leave it the way it is.
SPEAKER_02: They went to Kaprana home, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.
SPEAKER_02: The people were amazed at his teaching because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law.
SPEAKER_02: Just then a man in their in the synagogue, uh just then, a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
SPEAKER_02: Have you come to destroy us?
SPEAKER_02: I know who you are, the Holy One of God.
SPEAKER_02: Look at Jesus, taking the mantle, taking authority.
SPEAKER_02: He's now, this is what you call the radical anointing.
SPEAKER_02: The Holy Spirit moving a person.
SPEAKER_02: It's radical anointing, and it is you are moved by God.
SPEAKER_02: And at that point, you are unstoppable, you are not afraid, you are very bold.
SPEAKER_02: You call things by what they are.
SPEAKER_02: Be quiet, say Jesus Stanley.
SPEAKER_02: Come out of him.
SPEAKER_02: The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.
SPEAKER_02: The people were all amazed that they asked each other, What is this?
SPEAKER_02: A new teaching and with author authority.
SPEAKER_02: He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.
SPEAKER_02: I said, Believers, take your mantle again in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_02: Walk with the authority and radical anointing.
SPEAKER_02: I told the first service I went to, I visit hospitals a lot.
SPEAKER_02: So during the week, I went to one ICU and HDU, and you're walking, there are so many patients there, and you can see the suffering people are going through.
SPEAKER_02: And you talk to the families, the bills are very high.
SPEAKER_02: One family will say one million, we are now at three million, we are now at four million, and all these bills are very, very high.
SPEAKER_02: And then you remember that Jesus has a solution.
SPEAKER_02: Because he said, by the stripes of Jesus, we can you imagine, Pastor Mashina, I know you go to Agakan Hospital every Thursday, and we send a team there, a big team there every Thursday.
SPEAKER_02: Can you imagine you walking one time and you say, Me, I'm entering this hospital.
SPEAKER_02: At the gate, I command every patient out in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_02: Now I say that somebody is saying, Ah, Pastor, which world do you live in?
SPEAKER_02: That is totally impossible.
SPEAKER_02: You see, we've been socialized in a certain way, and there is a status quo that has been allowed.
SPEAKER_02: But God is saying in Matthew 19, verse 26, with man this is impossible, but with God, all things are.
SPEAKER_02: This is an army that's going to leave this place.
SPEAKER_02: And with radical anointing, whereby you look at the deceased burden in a village, and you say, This must not stay.
SPEAKER_02: I am standing here as a servant of God and I'm calling heaven.
SPEAKER_02: I know there is technology, I know there is science.
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I understand everything.
SPEAKER_02: But in the name of Jesus, I am commanding this deceased from this place.
SPEAKER_02: Because Matthew 17, verse 20 says, if you have faith, the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, be remove from here and to do what?
SPEAKER_02: It'll be gone.
SPEAKER_02: So some of you have lived with things you need to not live with.
SPEAKER_02: Elijah stands up and says, This Jezebel story is going to stop right now.
SPEAKER_02: And uh, an altar is raised.
SPEAKER_02: The prophets of Baal try all they can, all the hours, nothing comes through.
SPEAKER_02: But eventually this servant of God comes here and he calls the fire of God, and the fire descends, leaks everything as far as sacrifice is concerned, and people are able to see the work of God.
SPEAKER_02: I want to say this.
SPEAKER_02: Jesus said, I think it's John 14, verse 12, greater works than this you will do.
SPEAKER_02: He was referring to his works, and he was saying, You, my followers, you shall do greater works than this.
SPEAKER_02: Let me ask church again, where are the signs and wonders?
SPEAKER_02: Where have the miracles gone?
SPEAKER_02: Why is it that man is struggling in their own strength and pulling them everywhere?
SPEAKER_02: Uh, you know, and uh yet God is there.
SPEAKER_02: There is a status quo that has been accepted.
SPEAKER_02: It's a status quo of disbelief, is a status quo of lack of faith, of sitting back and not expecting the move of God.
SPEAKER_02: This year of Jubilee, Parkland's Baptist has come 50 years.
SPEAKER_02: We have seen the hand of God.
SPEAKER_02: As we move another fifty years, I declare we shall see signs of wonders.
SPEAKER_02: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_02: We will take a proactive position and we shall begin to engage the status quo.
SPEAKER_02: I shared in the first service how these days matatus will run on the roads, they are stopped, a policeman comes to the window, and even bribing is normal.
SPEAKER_02: And so people who sit at the back, they are seeing, they're in the matatu, they are seeing that's not a divine exchange.
SPEAKER_02: They are seeing what is happening.
SPEAKER_02: No one, I I mean, no one even gives a second thought.
SPEAKER_02: And slowly, after oiling the system, the the matatu goes, and maybe the driver is whistling and singing, and maybe there's a chorus joined by everybody in the batattu here, and nobody says a thing.
SPEAKER_02: In the first service, I challenge the congregation and I say it, is there anyone who has been in a matatu?
SPEAKER_02: Or I'm talking to myself.
SPEAKER_02: I have do people see these things?
SPEAKER_02: All right, do you?
SPEAKER_02: Yes, up here.
SPEAKER_02: Anyone who has been in a matatu and you saw the bribing and you stopped it.
SPEAKER_02: I challenge the first service and I asked the question: Is there anyone in a matatu?
SPEAKER_02: You saw bribing happening and you stopped it.
SPEAKER_02: Can you raise your hand?
SPEAKER_02: This is the second service.
SPEAKER_02: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_02: It is the one that has more holy anger.
SPEAKER_02: Maybe I'll see more hands coming up.
SPEAKER_02: All right.
SPEAKER_02: Now, Pastor Keniti, you saw first service, we got two people.
SPEAKER_02: There was a lady who was sitting there, and a gentleman was sitting there.
SPEAKER_02: And I called the gentleman here and gave him the pulpit.
SPEAKER_02: When you go home, go back to the first service recording.
SPEAKER_02: There is somebody who came, he took this microphone and shared what he did.
SPEAKER_02: He was in a matatu, just sitting, and then suddenly the driver was bribing a policeman who was standing across on the other side.
SPEAKER_02: Not even the driver's side.
SPEAKER_02: And so he was giving the bribe.
SPEAKER_02: And remember, there are some passengers here.
SPEAKER_02: He was giving the bribe across like this.
SPEAKER_02: So our member was sitting somewhere here, and he said, Stop it.
SPEAKER_02: This will not happen.
SPEAKER_02: And he grabbed, did he say he grabbed the hand?
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he grabbed the hand to stop it.
SPEAKER_02: You remember what the policeman said?
SPEAKER_02: He pointed at our our member and said, By the way, you know you're not even wearing a driver's belt.
SPEAKER_02: That's intimidating.
SPEAKER_02: But let me tell you, our member never burged an inch.
SPEAKER_02: That bribery never happened.
SPEAKER_02: Because an Elijah stood raised uh their position, put a line, and said, This must not continue.
SPEAKER_02: And so when we talk about confronting, you know, the anointing that is radical.
SPEAKER_02: It is one that comes to certain situations, like I talked about the road to Kiambu, those liquor, and then you say you draw a line and you say this is not going to happen anymore.
SPEAKER_02: I do something.
SPEAKER_02: The Jeremiah 110.
SPEAKER_02: Jeremiah 110, give me on the screen.
SPEAKER_02: And you say, I am the one who is going to do it.
SPEAKER_02: It may be entrenched, it may look uh bigger than me.
SPEAKER_02: There might be cartels around it.
SPEAKER_02: I could even be killed.
SPEAKER_02: But Elijah was threatened by Jezebel.
SPEAKER_02: See, today I appoint you over nations.
SPEAKER_02: Maybe this is our verse as we go home.
SPEAKER_02: And kingdoms to appoint.
SPEAKER_02: Uproot and tear down to destroy and overthrow to build and to plan.
SPEAKER_02: I want us to read it together.
SPEAKER_02: Let's read that verse together.
SPEAKER_02: Jeremiah 1, verse 10.
SPEAKER_02: See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot, to tear down, to destroy and overthrow, but also to build and to plan.
SPEAKER_02: Give yourself a hand.
SPEAKER_02: This is our mission.
SPEAKER_02: And so as we live today, may God open our eyes and help us to see what needs to be fixed around us.
SPEAKER_02: And God is saying, draw a line, you're the one to do it.
SPEAKER_02: About a week plus, I was at Nation, and there's a program uh called Fix the Nation.
SPEAKER_02: And as I was sitting there, because the writings are behind, I was thinking about my nation.
SPEAKER_02: And I was thinking what needs to be fixed.
SPEAKER_02: But then I thought I also come from a church, and the church has lost its voice.
SPEAKER_02: In fact, after I finished and I was meeting the anchors, that's what they were telling me.
SPEAKER_02: After I just got out and I had a meeting for two hours with them, that's what they were telling me.
SPEAKER_02: Where is the church?
SPEAKER_02: The church has lost its voice.
SPEAKER_02: And the Sundays have become a place for people to just come and meet and have a good time.
SPEAKER_02: But after Sunday, no impact beyond that, uh, beyond beyond that that fence.
SPEAKER_02: But today I believe what is written there, John 1, Jeremiah 1.10, is a call to me and to you.
SPEAKER_02: And we should be able to come back to the radical anointing.
SPEAKER_02: That is how Jesus was, that's the way he wants us to be.
SPEAKER_02: And I believe from where you sit and where you walk and where you operate, that God is speaking to you, and there are things you must say.
SPEAKER_02: This one stops here.
SPEAKER_02: There is a price, sometimes a sacrifice, but I know that at the end, uh good wins over evil.
SPEAKER_02: And so, Jubilee is a time of reset.
SPEAKER_02: Reset.
SPEAKER_02: And God is visiting the church again, trying to fix what needs to be fixed, and God is going to use you and me to fix what needs to be fixed.
SPEAKER_02: And I can promise you, tomorrow it will be better than yesterday.
SPEAKER_02: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_02: The jobs young people are not getting, there will be jobs.
SPEAKER_02: Because if everybody does the right thing, if everybody, wherever you are placed, does the right thing, even the economy will grow.
SPEAKER_02: The blessing of God will be in our nation, and doors will open.
SPEAKER_02: The messages we preach here, and sometimes we just preach from a spiritual perspective, saying the door will open, trust the Lord, there will be a breakthrough, but there are practical issues also.
SPEAKER_02: And I believe, therefore, all these doors will open, and all these young people will be positioned and they will all be celebrating from uh, you know, where the Lord will place them.
SPEAKER_02: And so I see a great future for Nairobi, I see a great future for Kenya, I see a great future for Africa, and I see a great future for our people because today, hallelujah, today, we have drawn a line against the forces of evil.
SPEAKER_02: And from this altar, I make a bold declaration, uh a radical anointing declaration that every altar of evil is now destroyed, uprooted, overthrown, dismantled in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_02: I also speak to the soil of Kenya, and I say, You soil of Kenya, vomit, vomit every altar of Jezebel, every altar of evil, wherever, north, south, east, west, central, everywhere in Kenya, vomit right now.
SPEAKER_02: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_02: Vomit the altars of darkness so that this nation may rise to the destiny God has ordained for it.
SPEAKER_02: I love my country, I love it very dearly.
SPEAKER_02: It's a nation I pray for.
SPEAKER_02: And uh I know Elijah was praying for his nation, but a day came when he saw evil was taking over and he drew a line.
SPEAKER_02: And on Mount Carmel he said, It's not gonna continue like this.
SPEAKER_02: Today, a new season must begin, and even for my nation, as I hold this flag, in the name of Jesus, I break the tide of evil, the yoke of the enemy over this nation in the name of Jesus, and I call forth, I call forth the power of God upon this nation.
SPEAKER_02: I call forth a new season, a new beginning, and I also call the blessings of God in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_02: And we all say, Hey, glory to God.
SPEAKER_02: Let's give a hand to the King of Kings and the Lord of floods.
SPEAKER_02: Amen.
SPEAKER_02: We may all stand up now.
SPEAKER_02: Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you that you've called us the church and believers to be the salt and also the light of the world.
SPEAKER_02: You've called us not just to make numbers, but to bring the kingdom down.
SPEAKER_02: Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.
SPEAKER_02: Not just to do cosmetics, not just to do panel beating, but to bring the kingdom in every sector and every sphere, and to see people healed, people restored, people born again, people walking in the ways of God.
SPEAKER_02: Lord, I believe in this jubilee, one of the callings to us, the church, is to come back to that level of vitality, relevance, and dynamism.
SPEAKER_02: And my God, I thank you for Elijah and what he offers us, even as we've studied the case, that it is possible even to come against an entrenched spirit, a Jezebelic spirit, rooted in a family, rooted in a city, rooted in a nation, and has stayed there, saying, This is mine, this family is mine, this city is mine, nobody can ever function here.
SPEAKER_02: That it is possible to come to declare the end of such a tenure, such a spirit.
SPEAKER_02: And that's why, Lord, together we walk out as Elijas, releasing this declaration and proclamation that is led by radical anointing, a confrontation that is divine and also in the spirit, calling a spade a spade, resetting, bringing things back to order, kingdom order, and speaking the language of heaven in every place and every space.
SPEAKER_02: And we speak, Lord, as we pray once again, that this nation belongs to Jesus, and that, Lord, we hand it back to you, O Lord, and we release it from the grip of Satan, whenever and wherever within the nation has been gripped by the powers of darkness.
SPEAKER_02: And we ask the evil one to quit and depart right now in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_02: Jesus, you said in Luke 10, verse 18, I saw Satan fall like lightning, and therefore we know it is possible for a whole generation that has suffered to get relief and restoration and healing and a breakthrough suddenly when the grip of Satan has been broken.
SPEAKER_02: And that is why, Lord, we pray, like Elijah, that the season of the evil one is over, and that the hand of God now is taking over.
SPEAKER_02: Jubilee is about release from debt.
SPEAKER_02: That debt button is broken in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_02: Glory to God.
SPEAKER_02: And God can do it in the suddenly.
SPEAKER_02: And everything else that I've come along the way, the rubbish is kicked out, swept by the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of God.
SPEAKER_02: And we pray, Spirit of God, breathe afresh in our nation, in our neighborhoods, in our homes, and also in our continent.
SPEAKER_02: And so we go commissioned now to be like Elijah's, wherever God is leading us.
SPEAKER_02: And I believe a revival, a Jubilee revival is being commissioned and will be set.
SPEAKER_02: You can give a hand to the Lord.
SPEAKER_02: A Jubilee revival, we have a mighty God.
SPEAKER_02: And now let's take a blessing.
SPEAKER_02: You can lift your hands to God.
SPEAKER_02: My God, yes, you've given us an assignment to be like Elijah, where we are going.
SPEAKER_02: Now, as we do so, we need you.
SPEAKER_02: We need your power, we need your hand.
SPEAKER_02: Holy Spirit, visit us afresh, but also bless us afresh.
SPEAKER_02: My God, I pray you open the heavens and pour blessings upon your people.
SPEAKER_02: I know that there is a storehouse for every individual, and it is labeled by name, accessed only in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_02: Today, by the strength of this service, I declare the opening of those storehouses.
SPEAKER_02: And I decree that everything that belongs to you by this blessing is released in your direction.
SPEAKER_02: The struggle is broken, the weight is also broken, the delay is broken.
SPEAKER_02: God is coming through, and God is blessing you.
SPEAKER_02: Any blessing and every blessing, Ephesians 1:3 in the heavens, God is saying, I'm releasing to you.
SPEAKER_02: And receive your portion of blessing.
SPEAKER_02: You are blessed on Monday.
SPEAKER_02: You are blessed on Tuesday.
SPEAKER_02: You're blessed on Wednesday.
SPEAKER_02: You are blessed on Thursday.
SPEAKER_02: You are blessed on Friday.
SPEAKER_02: You are blessed on Saturday.
SPEAKER_02: You are blessed this coming Sunday.
SPEAKER_02: And you're also blessed throughout the whole of July, the seventh month of the year, the perfection and the breakthrough.
SPEAKER_02: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_02: And I have prayed and we have prayed together that prayer in the mighty and matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_02: And we all say, we all say, we all say, Hallelujah! 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_02: Amen.
SPEAKER_02: Surely goodness.
