SPEAKER_00: Our scripture reading is from Leviticus chapter 25.
SPEAKER_00: Actually, we have two passages, and the other one is from uh the book of Joshua.
SPEAKER_00: Today I'm speaking on the subject, the golden sound of Jubilee, and that's why probably you feel I sound different.
SPEAKER_00: I think I'm having a golden voice.
SPEAKER_00: Sound different.
SPEAKER_00: That's the subject, the golden sound of Jubilee.
SPEAKER_00: Leviticus 25, verse 8 to 10.
SPEAKER_00: Count uh seven Sabbath years, seven times seven years, so that the seven Sabbath years amount to a period of forty-nine years.
SPEAKER_00: Then sound the trumpet everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the day of atonement.
SPEAKER_00: Sound the trumpet throughout the land.
SPEAKER_00: Consecrate the 50th year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants.
SPEAKER_00: It shall be a jubilee for you.
SPEAKER_00: Each of you is to return to your family, property, and to your own clan.
SPEAKER_00: Then we move on to Joshua chapter 4, verse 1 to 9.
SPEAKER_00: When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua, Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe, and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, from right where the priests are standing, and carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.
SPEAKER_00: So Joshua in verse 4 called together the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe, and said to them, Go over before the ark of the Lord your God into the middle of the Jordan.
SPEAKER_00: Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, to serve as a sign among you.
SPEAKER_00: In future, when your children ask you, What do these stones mean?
SPEAKER_00: Tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off.
SPEAKER_00: These stones, these stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever.
SPEAKER_00: This is the word of the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: I had prayed, we grabbed our seats.
SPEAKER_00: Like I said earlier, the title of the message is The Golden Sound of Jubilee.
SPEAKER_00: The texts are the ones that I just read.
SPEAKER_00: And there are three areas I want us to look at: sounding a switch, number two, sounding a legacy, and number three, sounding um a future.
SPEAKER_00: Sounding a switch, sounding a legacy, sounding a future.
SPEAKER_00: The symbol of this jubilee is the trumpet.
SPEAKER_00: That is the symbol.
SPEAKER_00: And at the end of this service, as a way of commissioning this week, because today we are launching, we are going to blow the chauffeur, blow the trumpet, blow the whistle, and that marks the symbol of this uh season.
SPEAKER_00: And therefore, what we shall be doing is releasing a sound.
SPEAKER_00: Sounds are very important.
SPEAKER_00: If you pass a place where people are urulating, you know they are celebrating because that sound is associated with celebration.
SPEAKER_00: If you pass a place where people are crying, you know probably they are mourning because crying is celebrated is connected with either loss or a tragic event or a disappointment, unless uh people are doing tears of joy.
SPEAKER_00: If you pass a place where people are clapping, that sound tells you something.
SPEAKER_00: Sounds are very, very important.
SPEAKER_00: The spiritual realm needs a sound, it needs a sound, it needs a sound.
SPEAKER_00: And uh to prepare the atmosphere in the spirit or in the spiritual realms.
SPEAKER_00: In the Bible, you find uh a number of stops where God insists on a sound and he says, make some sound.
SPEAKER_00: We have come a journey, it's 50 years.
SPEAKER_00: The Bible tells us to consecrate this year, which we have done, call it uh our jubilee.
SPEAKER_00: But when you look at the scripture there that we read, there's an instruction to blow a trumpet.
SPEAKER_00: Now, this trumpet in Hebrew was called Yobel.
SPEAKER_00: Y-O-B-E-L.
SPEAKER_00: And it refers to um Ram's horn that was sounded to announce the year of Jubilee.
SPEAKER_00: It was a sound released in the atmosphere to prepare the atmosphere for a transition, basically coming from one season to another season.
SPEAKER_00: And there are people who rush through seasons and they never get a revelation of certain instructions that are even biblical, that are needed to be done, and therefore they just march into a future, they cross over to the other side, and uh they really don't take a moment or a pause or punctuate to be able to do certain things.
SPEAKER_00: Pastor Ambrose said Jubilee is not an event, jubilee is a revelation.
SPEAKER_00: Pastor Kiniti, last Sunday, you shared uh about Jesus, the revelation of this season.
SPEAKER_00: And I said the Holy Spirit is a guest of honor of this season, and the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: You know, he does the unveiling of Christ.
SPEAKER_00: And for us to receive the revelation of Jesus, we need the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_00: And so we have said, He is our guest of honor.
SPEAKER_00: So as a church, and based on biblical wisdom, because some people have been asking, why do you have a jubilee?
SPEAKER_00: Why are we investing in this kind of thing?
SPEAKER_00: Um, as a church, we've chosen to take biblical instruction that I just read earlier, Leviticus 25, verse 9 and 10.
SPEAKER_00: Punctuate as we do a transition.
SPEAKER_00: We are coming from 50 years.
SPEAKER_00: We are moving into another 50 years.
SPEAKER_00: We cannot just walk like any, you know, the people of the world.
SPEAKER_00: And that is why the whole year is consecrated, and we've called it uh the Jubilee based on scripture, and this coming week is so special, very, very special, because we are going to receive a word from the Lord, from men and women who have prepared themselves for some time to come and connect with us in this moment in our history.
SPEAKER_00: And so Jubilee is recognized in heaven, and Jubilee is recognized on earth.
SPEAKER_00: It's also recognized under the other, I believe.
SPEAKER_00: And God is aware, he's very conscious, he's very aware.
SPEAKER_00: Parklands Baptist Church has come 50 years, and Parklands Baptist Church is investing in this season and following divine instructions, and for that reason, he's very ready and prepared from above to do something very, very special.
SPEAKER_00: Very, very special.
SPEAKER_00: And so today we shall make sound.
SPEAKER_00: We shall make a sound, we shall make a sound.
SPEAKER_00: It amazes me how simple acts of obedience can trigger a supernatural breakthrough.
SPEAKER_00: Simple acts of obedience triggering uh, you know, supernatural breakthrough.
SPEAKER_00: And uh, when it was the time of Jericho, if you remember, there was a sound, Joshua chapter 6 and verse 20.
SPEAKER_00: How did they bring down those walls?
SPEAKER_00: In their own strength and their own power, they could not have done it.
SPEAKER_00: And I'm speaking to somebody here saying there's a mountain in front of you.
SPEAKER_00: After we make the sound, it's coming down in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_00: And you're going to walk on level ground.
SPEAKER_00: That's what I see in the spiritual.
SPEAKER_00: And this week, I declare, is going to be a week of breakthroughs for us.
SPEAKER_00: In fact, the whole year, because we are going to blow the sound, God works with acts of faith.
SPEAKER_00: That is the material heaven uses.
SPEAKER_00: Actions of faith.
SPEAKER_00: That's how God works.
SPEAKER_00: And the revelation here is that we shall blow a sound and then expect God to move.
SPEAKER_00: It says this when the trumpet sounded, the army shouted.
SPEAKER_00: And at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, what did the walls do?
SPEAKER_00: They did what?
SPEAKER_00: They collapsed, isn't it?
SPEAKER_00: The walls collapsed.
SPEAKER_00: So everyone did what?
SPEAKER_00: Charged straight in and they took the city.
SPEAKER_00: You are going to take that which is yours in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_00: The sound today is a golden sound of jubilee.
SPEAKER_00: And I believe my sound, my voice is different, probably for that purpose.
SPEAKER_00: Sound a little different.
SPEAKER_00: Somebody's looking, this is Pastor Simon.
SPEAKER_00: This doesn't talk like this.
SPEAKER_00: All right.
SPEAKER_00: But the golden sound of Jubilee.
SPEAKER_00: Jericho Walls came down because of a sound.
SPEAKER_00: And there was another sound.
SPEAKER_00: Pastor Ambrose, you mentioned it uh the other day.
SPEAKER_00: Uh, these were the four lepers.
SPEAKER_00: When the Arameans or the Syrian army had surrounded Samaria, and uh Samaria was under complete total siege.
SPEAKER_00: It is like somebody who is locked in a space and you just feel you can't get out.
SPEAKER_00: I want to say God can get you out of that space.
SPEAKER_00: When you are fully locked, you just can't.
SPEAKER_00: By death or by disease or by enemies, and you feel totally overwhelmed and totally besieged.
SPEAKER_00: When we are making this sound, God is making a way for you.
SPEAKER_00: In 2 Kings chapter 7, verse 6 and 7, actually from verse 3, there were four lepers at the gate.
SPEAKER_00: Samaria is a town, it is fully surrounded by the enemy, the Arameans or the Assyrians.
SPEAKER_00: Uh the Syrians.
SPEAKER_00: Now, this is what it says.
SPEAKER_00: Now there were four men with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate.
SPEAKER_00: They say to each other, Why stay here until we die?
SPEAKER_00: If we say we'll go into the city, the famine is there.
SPEAKER_00: We will die.
SPEAKER_00: If we stay here, we will die.
SPEAKER_00: So let's go over to the camp of the Arameans.
SPEAKER_00: This is the enemy, and surrender.
SPEAKER_00: That's what the that was their mission.
SPEAKER_00: If they spare us, we live.
SPEAKER_00: If they kill us, then we die.
SPEAKER_00: At dusk, they got up and went to the camp of the Arameans.
SPEAKER_00: When they reached the edge of the camp, no one was there.
SPEAKER_00: For the Lord had caused the Arameans to hear the sound, hallelujah! To hear what?
SPEAKER_00: The sound of chariots and horses and a great army.
SPEAKER_00: So they said to one another, Look, the king of Israel has hired the Hittite and the Egyptian kings to attack us.
SPEAKER_00: So they got up, fled in the dusk, and abandoned their tents and their horses and donkeys.
SPEAKER_00: Uh, they left the camp as it was and ran for their lives.
SPEAKER_00: God will lead you to unexpected riches.
SPEAKER_00: He'll open those gates that for your family have never been opened before.
SPEAKER_00: And things you felt, this was so far from us.
SPEAKER_00: We are blowing the sound.
SPEAKER_00: God is going to do it.
SPEAKER_00: And these lepers, these lepers, they were not soldiers.
SPEAKER_00: Who are they?
SPEAKER_00: They were weak, rejected, desperate outcasts.
SPEAKER_00: And they were at the gate, waiting to die.
SPEAKER_00: But this particular time they say, why don't you go to the other, to the enemy's camp, uh, and surrender?
SPEAKER_00: But as they were making their steps, and Pastor Ambrose, you call it the shuffling.
SPEAKER_00: They are making those the shuffling.
SPEAKER_00: And they were because because of the leprosy, uh, you know, they're trying to walk.
SPEAKER_00: And know how uh debilitating leprosy can be.
SPEAKER_00: You know, the fingers get shorter, everything, everything gets truncated.
SPEAKER_00: So they are they are shuffling and they're going and they're trying to struggle.
SPEAKER_00: And uh, do you know God works with the little things, those baby steps and the steps we are making?
SPEAKER_00: And God amplified them and multiplied them many times over until the enemy started feeling there's a chariot coming, there's a bigger, a big army coming, and they took off.
SPEAKER_00: They left everything intact.
SPEAKER_00: Tent and tent and tent.
SPEAKER_00: They come inside, they find the silver, they find the gold.
SPEAKER_00: In fact, when they arrive, it's even difficult to know where to start because you've never seen anything like this.
SPEAKER_00: Silver.
SPEAKER_00: It's like you enter the bank where they keep money suddenly.
SPEAKER_00: People normally enter in their dreams.
SPEAKER_00: Have you ever dreamt that kind of dream?
SPEAKER_00: Where you enter the bank and dollars are just there.
SPEAKER_00: And you're picking them and bringing them out.
SPEAKER_00: You pick them, you bring them out.
SPEAKER_00: One time I went to Dallas, Texas, and I was taken back in Arogas to where they print dollars.
SPEAKER_00: I was taken inside there.
SPEAKER_00: It's a security place, but uh we were ushered in, and I was shown the process from how they start and they continue until they finish dollars, and how they pack them in forklifts, you know, those big things.
SPEAKER_00: And I was told this particular pack here can fund your nation.
SPEAKER_00: I mean, this particular pack of dollars you see here can pack your nation.
SPEAKER_00: I said, Oh, hallelujah.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I wish this could get my way.
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes the dreams, in our dreams, we get there.
SPEAKER_00: But this is not a dream, this one is a real thing.
SPEAKER_00: So they find the tent, silver, gold, the food they have always wanted to eat was just there.
SPEAKER_00: God is getting you there in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_00: Because of our sound.
SPEAKER_00: And this is our jubilee.
SPEAKER_00: The food was there.
SPEAKER_00: And they are trying to pick, hide, pick height.
SPEAKER_00: They move, they find, oh, this thing is too much.
SPEAKER_00: We even can't handle this.
SPEAKER_00: We better go tell the rest of the team that we all come and benefit.
SPEAKER_00: And uh so God can take the sound we release here this afternoon as we launch uh uh this week, multiply it over uh in your life.
SPEAKER_00: And also for Parklands Baptist, this morning I was at Rivers of God.
SPEAKER_00: They have a service at 6 a.m.
SPEAKER_00: And Pastor Ambrose greetings from uh Reverend Tony Kiama.
SPEAKER_00: And we spent time and we prayed.
SPEAKER_00: Um, right there, where we all started 50 years ago, which is Ojija Road Chiromolin Junction.
SPEAKER_00: There's a Rubis Petrol station just around there.
SPEAKER_00: That building you see there, that's where we started.
SPEAKER_00: It looks almost the way it was that time, but they're doing another tall structure there, I think eight stories or so.
SPEAKER_00: And uh and uh Pastor Edith, you said this coming Saturday, 8 a.m.
SPEAKER_00: They are waiting.
SPEAKER_00: Uh we talked about it.
SPEAKER_00: 8 a.m.
SPEAKER_00: in the morning, we start uh right there where we started 50 years ago, and we march around this area here with the sound of trumpets, with the cymbals and the bugle, and uh we have all this prayer schedule.
SPEAKER_00: We stop and we pray as as we as we come along.
SPEAKER_00: We started there.
SPEAKER_00: We were like 400, I think, uh, Pastor Ambrose, when we came here.
SPEAKER_00: And I still remember our early years of preaching because we came here the year 2000, 2000.
SPEAKER_00: That's when we came to this building.
SPEAKER_00: We were there for about 25 years, and here 25.
SPEAKER_00: It's like 25, 25.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah?
SPEAKER_00: That was Parklands area.
SPEAKER_00: Here we are in Westlands, and uh, we were about 400.
SPEAKER_00: Now, 400 people is just about here.
SPEAKER_00: Now you can imagine how the Sunday services were looking like.
SPEAKER_00: And I remember you, Pastor Samuel, saying angels are sitting all over, and one day this place will be full.
SPEAKER_00: And here we are.
SPEAKER_00: Yes, we can give a hand to the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: One day, this group, this place is gonna be full, just a small group.
SPEAKER_00: In fact, the first service I remember because I used to minister a lot in the first service.
SPEAKER_00: We used to be like 50, 50, 70 to kiwawengi 100.
SPEAKER_00: We were sitting here, not even there.
SPEAKER_00: Actually, here we used to have a wooden pulpit.
SPEAKER_00: This is uh in my endeleo, Sana.
SPEAKER_00: We used to have a wooden one.
SPEAKER_00: I think our story has a lot.
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, a wooden pulpit here, and you're speaking to about 50, 70, maybe 100 people.
SPEAKER_00: That's how how it was.
SPEAKER_00: But now look at what God has done.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah! Isn't God amazing?
SPEAKER_00: We have reached, let me put it like almost every Sunday, about 8,000 or thereabout.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah?
SPEAKER_00: So 400 times what is 8,000?
SPEAKER_00: 400 times?
SPEAKER_00: Dash.
SPEAKER_00: Um, Reverend Onono, you are a math expert.
SPEAKER_00: 400 times?
SPEAKER_00: 20.
SPEAKER_00: That's very good.
SPEAKER_00: We have grown 20 times in the last 25 years.
SPEAKER_00: Isn't God amazing?
SPEAKER_00: Let's give a hand to our Lord Jesus Christ 20 times.
SPEAKER_00: Now, when we blow the sound, God is going to multiply those steps, shuffling, many times over.
SPEAKER_00: And my prayer, Pastor Samuel, as I told the first service, is that we multiply, we grow a hundred times, which means 800 times 100, 8,000 times 100, that is 800,000 people.
SPEAKER_00: Where shall we contain them?
SPEAKER_00: Food for thought, strategy, online ministries, house groups expanding.
SPEAKER_00: I think working backwards, then you can the experts in writing can write how we get there.
SPEAKER_00: But a hundred times, and I pray as we blow the trumpet here, suddenly that amplification will happen.
SPEAKER_00: But also somebody in their personal life, things will multiply 30fold, 60fold, a hundredfold.
SPEAKER_00: Let's give a hand to the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Glory to his name.
SPEAKER_00: And so there are many sounds in the Bible, and uh one amazing sound was Pentecost, and our prayer is that this becomes our Pentecost this week and this coming Sunday.
SPEAKER_00: We are raising a big altar here.
SPEAKER_00: It's an altar.
SPEAKER_00: Please have revelation, it's not an event.
SPEAKER_00: Raising a big altar here this coming Sunday.
SPEAKER_00: I'm an inviting everyone to come to an altar, a powerful place where God is going to do some major transactions with each one of us.
SPEAKER_00: And that sound in Acts chapter 2, verse 1 and 2.
SPEAKER_00: Trusting God that the sound of Pentecost, Acts chapter 2, verse 1 and 2, will actually come through.
SPEAKER_00: There is a sound.
SPEAKER_00: When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
SPEAKER_00: By the way, Pentecost is 50, it's also 50.
SPEAKER_00: Then he says, suddenly, a sound, like the blowing of a violent wind, came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
SPEAKER_00: With this sound, the church was bathed.
SPEAKER_00: With this sound, the church multiplied.
SPEAKER_00: They grew to 3,000.
SPEAKER_00: Then they became 5,000.
SPEAKER_00: And with this sound, the foundation of the church was laid.
SPEAKER_00: It's a very powerful sound.
SPEAKER_00: It's a sound of birthing.
SPEAKER_00: And this coming Sunday is nine.
SPEAKER_00: Number nine is a day of birthing, this coming Sunday, when we raise this big altar.
SPEAKER_00: And at this altar, we shall release sounds.
SPEAKER_00: We shall thank God for where we've come from, Ebenezer.
SPEAKER_00: We shall thank God for the now.
SPEAKER_00: And we shall also uh commit the future and our dreams to the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: And I'm seeing every one of us individually doing the same as a church corporate does it.
SPEAKER_00: And I believe as we do that, then God simply takes over.
SPEAKER_00: I could go on and on talking about sounds.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus at the grave of Lazarus.
SPEAKER_00: He shouted.
SPEAKER_00: It was a loud sound.
SPEAKER_00: John 11, verse 43 and 44.
SPEAKER_00: So when a sound comes, there is an impact and an outcome.
SPEAKER_00: He shouted.
SPEAKER_00: When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out.
SPEAKER_00: In verse 44, the dead man, the Bible says, came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen and a cloth around his face.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus said to them, Take off the grave's clothes, let him go.
SPEAKER_00: I see grave clothes coming out.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_00: I see people marching.
SPEAKER_00: Something was dead in your life, it's coming back to life.
SPEAKER_00: Yes, you are kind of put down, but you rise and begin to walk with confidence.
SPEAKER_00: We are releasing a sound today.
SPEAKER_00: And so as I summarize, let me say this.
SPEAKER_00: I have talked about this golden sound of Jubilee.
SPEAKER_00: It is golden because it's powerful, it is golden because it's prophetic.
SPEAKER_00: But there are things we are going to sound.
SPEAKER_00: Number one, we shall sound a switch.
SPEAKER_00: And this week, you'll be hearing a lot about this.
SPEAKER_00: We shall sound a switch.
SPEAKER_00: Pastor Ambrose, when we were talking uh the other day, you said it's a sudden shift.
SPEAKER_00: And I know tomorrow, because I'm looking forward at your session in the evening, uh tomorrow evening, you'll tell us more about this.
SPEAKER_00: And in your in your book, uh the theme.
SPEAKER_00: Book, you have written a lot about it.
SPEAKER_00: But this is a divine transition.
SPEAKER_00: As we blow this trumpet, what we are saying is that this transition is managed from heaven, and God will do sudden things.
SPEAKER_00: Failure can turn to success like this.
SPEAKER_00: Let me repeat that.
SPEAKER_00: Failure can turn to success just like this.
SPEAKER_00: It's a switch.
SPEAKER_00: It is, I mean, from God's side, it's not a problem.
SPEAKER_00: It's not a mountain.
SPEAKER_00: What you think is a mountain to God is not a mountain.
SPEAKER_00: You know, just like this, God can turn fortunes.
SPEAKER_00: And uh therefore, there is a switch grace.
SPEAKER_00: There is a switch grace operating at this altar.
SPEAKER_00: This place here is dedicated, and there is a switch grace.
SPEAKER_00: This grace is a grace marked by seven Rs.
SPEAKER_00: The grace of release, the grace of reset, the grace of restoration, the grace of revival, the grace of reconciliation, the grace of redemption, the grace of rest.
SPEAKER_00: And as you are walking in from the main gate, you saw those flyers doing like this.
SPEAKER_00: Each one of them has a station, given a name.
SPEAKER_00: That's a very important place in terms of an altar.
SPEAKER_00: And uh, and therefore you can walk there, say, I pray for the release switch to happen from me.
SPEAKER_00: God is able to open prison doors.
SPEAKER_00: He did it in Acts 16, verse 25.
SPEAKER_00: When Paul and Silas were in prison and they started singing and praising God, and suddenly uh the Bible says they were singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
SPEAKER_00: Then in verse 26, um, there's something it says there, verse 26.
SPEAKER_00: If we go on, yes, suddenly you see the switch?
SPEAKER_00: Suddenly, there was a violent earthquake.
SPEAKER_00: The scenario changed.
SPEAKER_00: When the spiritual atmosphere, you release a sound, the spiritual atmosphere is right, then the switch suddenly begins to happen.
SPEAKER_00: A violent earthquake.
SPEAKER_00: Now this is the power of God, that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and at once all the prison doors flew open and everyone's chains came loose.
SPEAKER_00: May I put it this way authoritatively?
SPEAKER_00: God is able to open every prison door.
SPEAKER_00: God has a master key.
SPEAKER_00: He has a master key, and it's only God who has it.
SPEAKER_00: God is able to open every prison door simultaneously, suddenly, just at once.
SPEAKER_00: It is just a switch.
SPEAKER_00: Have you been locked in something?
SPEAKER_00: Whether it's addiction, whether it's a disease, right now, in terms of a switch and the suddenness of God, that addiction can go.
SPEAKER_00: Just like that.
SPEAKER_00: You have tried to get it out in your strength, you haven't.
SPEAKER_00: But by this sound we make today, it can disappear.
SPEAKER_00: That sickness you are following online, a disease that has plagued your life and it's been very difficult for you.
SPEAKER_00: You spend so much time.
SPEAKER_00: I mean, money, as we blow these trumpets, that disease can disappear just like that.
SPEAKER_00: It is as we sound a switch, we proclaim a switch, we declare this switch, and then a divine transition is executed by the power of God.
SPEAKER_00: But also sounding a legacy, a divine celebration, it's a divine uh celebration celebration.
SPEAKER_00: Joshua was instructed to be very careful to make sure that uh they they keep a memorial, in other words, stones of testimony.
SPEAKER_00: In Joshua chapter 4 and verse 20.
SPEAKER_00: Joshua chapter 4, verse 20.
SPEAKER_00: I read up to verse 24, it says the following and Joshua set up at Gilgal the 12 stones.
SPEAKER_00: And let me pause at 12 stones.
SPEAKER_00: Incidentally, this revival we are having this coming week, we call it Jubilee Revival, is our 12th season.
SPEAKER_00: 12th season, it's number 12.
SPEAKER_00: Interesting enough.
SPEAKER_00: I found that very interesting as I was studying this passage.
SPEAKER_00: It is actually the 12th season, and uh 12th is a number of kingdom government, and therefore, there's a sense in which this week, the prayer, the Lord's prayer, chapter 6, verse 10 of Matthew, that says, Thy kingdom come, thy kingdom come, thy will be done here on earth as it is done in heaven.
SPEAKER_00: There's a sense in which that kind of mapping is going to land here, and therefore, this makes this season even more special.
SPEAKER_00: And he says, 12 stones they had taken out of the Jordan.
SPEAKER_00: He said to the Israelites, In the future, when your descendants ask their parents, what do these stones mean?
SPEAKER_00: Tell them, Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.
SPEAKER_00: We shall raise a memorial.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_00: When they ask, we shall say, God took us through 50 years.
SPEAKER_00: Yes, yeah one, year two, year three.
SPEAKER_00: Me, I'm happy.
SPEAKER_00: Pastor Ambrose, I know you're happy.
SPEAKER_00: God has allowed us to see year 50.
SPEAKER_00: Is in God God.
SPEAKER_00: We are very excited, by the way.
SPEAKER_00: Isim who has allowed us, eh?
SPEAKER_00: Yeah?
SPEAKER_00: Tell them, Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.
SPEAKER_00: For the Lord your God dried up the Jordan before you.
SPEAKER_00: Therefore, what has happened has been the work of the Lord until you had crossed over.
SPEAKER_00: The Lord your God did uh to the Jordan what he had done to the Red Sea, that means he can reap it.
SPEAKER_00: Repeat it again.
SPEAKER_00: He's a way maker.
SPEAKER_00: He made it Red Sea, made it Jordan, he'll make it in our times.
SPEAKER_00: He is a way maker.
SPEAKER_00: When he dried it up before us until we had crossed over, he did this so that all the peoples of earth might know.
SPEAKER_00: This is a good reason here.
SPEAKER_00: All the peoples on earth might know the hand of the Lord is powerful, so that you might always fear the Lord your God.
SPEAKER_00: Stone of testimony.
SPEAKER_00: And Psalm 107, verse 2 says, Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, those whom the Lord redeemed from the hand of the foe.
SPEAKER_00: That is Psalm 107 and verse 2.
SPEAKER_00: And therefore, we shall sound a legacy by celebrating.
SPEAKER_00: It's a divine celebration.
SPEAKER_00: Let the world allow us to just shout.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah! And we are going to start practicing today.
SPEAKER_00: By next Sunday, the shout that is coming from here is amazing.
SPEAKER_00: This coming Friday, God willing, we shall have fireworks.
SPEAKER_00: And you can see of this 50 here, we have put these ones here.
SPEAKER_00: It was prophetic.
SPEAKER_00: The fireworks are coming.
SPEAKER_00: This Friday, after the event we shall have here in the evening, maybe around nine in the night or thereabout, we shall release a sound through fireworks from this place.
SPEAKER_00: That the whole city may know when they are sleeping.
SPEAKER_00: I hope, yeah, that God has done something for us.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_00: Yes, we can give a hand to the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Our teams are talking to the security and also these neighbors to kind of alert them and tell them, prepare.
SPEAKER_00: If you hear big boom boom, in in Westlands, we are not being fired, or I mean, bombs are not dropping.
SPEAKER_00: It is a community who know what the Lord has done for them, who are actually celebrating.
SPEAKER_00: You deserve a celebration.
SPEAKER_00: I prophesy a celebration in your life.
SPEAKER_00: I prophesy that celebration in your life.
SPEAKER_00: Somebody here, there has not been graduations in your family for quite a while for one reason or another.
SPEAKER_00: Some reasons are financial, could be other reasons.
SPEAKER_00: But I declare those celebrations of graduations are now beginning to come in your life right here.
SPEAKER_00: Somebody here, weddings have not been happening.
SPEAKER_00: But I declare the celebration of weddings is gonna happen and marriages uh in your life.

SPEAKER_00: Somebody here never traveled to Europe or the US.
SPEAKER_00: Your visa has been rejected.
SPEAKER_00: Like how many times?
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, you know yourself.
SPEAKER_00: I want to prophesy and say, This is your season.
SPEAKER_00: Visas will be stamped like this in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_00: And then we shall have a celebration.
SPEAKER_00: This side, what do you want?
SPEAKER_00: And here, and there, and there.
SPEAKER_00: You know what you've been trusting the Lord for.
SPEAKER_00: But I see through this jubilee that celebration that was lacking in our spaces beginning to happen.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah! And so, as we blow the sound, because we are going to sound this golden sound here, we are now releasing something.
SPEAKER_00: That's why I say the seven hours, and things we never saw before, we shall actually see them again.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah! God is coming through somebody here, you know, somebody here.
SPEAKER_00: You've been trusting God for some form of transport, but not just form.
SPEAKER_00: I'm talking about some nice uh kind of transport.
SPEAKER_00: Food, are you hearing me?
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you have a driver's license, or you do an a car?
SPEAKER_00: Ah, that's why I start saying like this.
SPEAKER_00: But around here, trusting God for some form of transport.
SPEAKER_00: But I'm talking about some nice form of transport.
SPEAKER_00: You thought it was impossible.
SPEAKER_00: This pastor prophet is saying it's gonna happen because we are sounding that trumpet of Jubilee, and so we shall celebrate.
SPEAKER_00: Pastor Ambrose, between the services, I went to dedicate a vehicle there and uh had prayed with somebody, and they said, Pastor, they came to my office.
SPEAKER_00: Parsi, we must get out.
SPEAKER_00: Now we are going and uh we celebrate and we walked.
SPEAKER_00: It's no joke, it's a total and cruiser long chases.
SPEAKER_00: You know how a pastor gets happy when you see people succeeding.
SPEAKER_00: So I I got in Nikaka Kule Numa, Nika Wambia Basi to end at Mara Masai Mara's ass.
SPEAKER_00: But they have been invited Masay Mara next Saturday by that family doing a wedding somewhere there.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, God bless you.
SPEAKER_00: Let's give a hand to the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: They're also celebrating.
SPEAKER_00: Celebration is your right, it's a kingdom provision, it is what God has ordained.
SPEAKER_00: Psalm 118, verse 15 says, I can hear a shout of victory in the tent of the righteous.
SPEAKER_00: Psalm 118, verse 15.
SPEAKER_00: And then verse 23 says, This is the Lord's doing it is marvelous in our eyes.
SPEAKER_00: This is the day the Lord has made.
SPEAKER_00: We shall do what?
SPEAKER_00: We shall rejoice and be glad in it.
SPEAKER_00: Let's give a hand to the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Sounding a legacy.
SPEAKER_00: But number three, as I finish, sounding a future.
SPEAKER_00: Let me say quickly: the future is possible, the future is doable, the future is is here, and the future is gonna happen.
SPEAKER_00: Your tomorrow is real, your tomorrow is going to be better than your yesterday.
SPEAKER_00: Pastor Andrews has taught us that today, under the sound, the golden sound of Jubilee, I repeat those words.
SPEAKER_00: Your tomorrow will be better than your yesterday.
SPEAKER_00: Turn to the pastor next to you and just tell them, Your tomorrow.
SPEAKER_00: Yes, it's prophetic.
SPEAKER_00: It is prophetic.
SPEAKER_00: Yes, your tomorrow will be better.
SPEAKER_00: You are sounding, you are sounding a future.
SPEAKER_00: And as you sound it, there's an unlocking.
SPEAKER_00: There are some keys that have been released to just go unlocking, unlocking this future.
SPEAKER_00: Jeremiah 29, 11 says, God says, I alone.
SPEAKER_00: It's a very interesting, uh, for I know, rather.
SPEAKER_00: For I know, God says, I.
SPEAKER_00: So in the knowledge of God, there's something he knows.
SPEAKER_00: And when God knows, he knows.
SPEAKER_00: He says, For I know.
SPEAKER_00: And he says he knows what?
SPEAKER_00: The plans.
SPEAKER_00: You see?
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_00: Even if you stop there, God is saying, and you can start rejoicing just at knowing that God has plans and he has planned.
SPEAKER_00: And when God plans, these plans are amazing.
SPEAKER_00: They are about the future, the days that are ahead.
SPEAKER_00: The plans I have for you, declares the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: There are plans to prosper you and not to harm you, they are plans to give you a hope and a future.
SPEAKER_00: Let's celebrate God for that word.
SPEAKER_00: A divine unlocking.
SPEAKER_00: Later on, when you get home, you can read Isaiah 62, verse 1 to 7, and start to see the things God unlocks.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_00: How the future looks like.
SPEAKER_00: Isaiah 62, verse 1 and 7.
SPEAKER_00: How is your future looking like?
SPEAKER_00: I can tell you it is very good.
SPEAKER_00: When I meet young people, most of the time, young people you know, when I meet you, I greet you and I say, The future is bright.
SPEAKER_00: I say to all of us, the future is bright.
SPEAKER_00: The devil may be saying something different, but the Jubilee altar says, The future is bright.
SPEAKER_00: And that's why we have punctuated, we have posted to say thanks to God, but also bring our dream before Him at the altar and say, God, now facilitate, you know, and bless uh this future.
SPEAKER_00: Somebody has a future here, somebody has a future here.
SPEAKER_00: Online, somebody has a future.
SPEAKER_00: You thought you didn't have a future.
SPEAKER_00: I am saying from this altar, you have a future, and you must get there in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_00: You must experience it in its totality.
SPEAKER_00: The tomorrow of Africa is shining bright.
SPEAKER_00: Africa's star is shining brighter by the day.
SPEAKER_00: I remember 25 years ago when Pastor Ambrose we stood here and we were praying.
SPEAKER_00: Those prayers we prayed, and uh small church, but we didn't know how it would look like.
SPEAKER_00: But we trust God with a future.
SPEAKER_00: 25 years ago, that was the year 2000.
SPEAKER_00: Now we've come 25, this is the 26th year, and uh you can see what the Lord has done.
SPEAKER_00: Now, at that time, this map being here, we thank God for our continent, and we prayed the cross may define this continent, and we also prayed that this nation would uh this continent would arise and shine.
SPEAKER_00: I am here to declare this prophetic word.
SPEAKER_00: Now we are getting very close to it.
SPEAKER_00: The star of Africa is rising, and the star of Africa is shining.
SPEAKER_00: In fact, where we are going, nations, people will come from the other continents and they will come for help in Africa.
SPEAKER_00: There is a switch that is happening.
SPEAKER_00: We went out with a begging bow, they shall come begging here and asking us here.
SPEAKER_00: I want to say, I dare say, that global policies shall be chant from Africa.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_00: The world order shall be reconfigured from Africa.
SPEAKER_00: The tomorrow, these next 50 years, are going to be wonderful.
SPEAKER_00: They are gonna be great.
SPEAKER_00: Position yourself because in the process, God is raising you to a place of influence so that what I've just said can actually be achieved.
SPEAKER_00: Because it will be achieved through all of us who are here, some of the young children, like this one, this girl here.
SPEAKER_00: Uh, your future is bright.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_00: The mantle of greatness falls on this girl right now, in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_00: And God is making a great way for this little girl here.
SPEAKER_00: This one, she will lead a nation.
SPEAKER_00: This one here.
SPEAKER_00: This one you are seeing here, in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_00: God will make it happen.
SPEAKER_00: Africa, let us sound a future, let us have hope and speak the words that align with what God is saying about our cotina.
SPEAKER_00: But I remember that we also stepped the map of Kenya and we said, This is a prophetic nation.
SPEAKER_00: We owned it.
SPEAKER_00: And we said, from this nation, men and women shall rise and go to the north, go to the south, go to the east, and go to the west.
SPEAKER_00: Now that explains when you hear us say, get a passport, get a passport, and we keep repeating.
SPEAKER_00: And people wonder why this pastor is saying this.
SPEAKER_00: God showed us a vision.
SPEAKER_00: From this nation, people will go north, south, east, and west.
SPEAKER_00: And where they will go, there shall be head and not tail.
SPEAKER_00: Deuteronomy 28, verse 13.
SPEAKER_00: There shall be head and not tail, they shall be top and not bottom, they shall be sought after, and they shall shine in the boats of men and women.
SPEAKER_00: They shall provide solutions to the ends of the earth.
SPEAKER_00: And because of the peoples from this nation, many people shall be healed around the world.
SPEAKER_00: And so, as we blow the trumpet, we are refreshing that prophecy from there to here.
SPEAKER_00: And we are saying all the roadblocks be removed right now, in Jesus' name, so that now we are accelerated towards that beautiful and powerful destiny.
SPEAKER_00: God is with us, and uh, this church is a leader church in Africa, is a unique church, uniquely favored, uniquely blessed, and God has his hand upon this church.
SPEAKER_00: And therefore, our future is bright, your future is bright, God is with you, God is with us, and uh, our tomorrow is better than our yesterday.
SPEAKER_00: Hand to the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: And so the grace is here.
SPEAKER_00: Now we are waiting for a sound.
SPEAKER_00: I'll ask the men to come, uh, Josh and uh the team, uh, all of us.
SPEAKER_00: I know we shall hear a lot of trumpeting uh throughout the week, and even next Sunday.
SPEAKER_00: The group uh marching uh from uh from our old church, OG George Romola, in there.
SPEAKER_00: You are meeting at eight, I know, in the morning.
SPEAKER_00: We expect about 200 plus that morning, and then they'll have a band and, as I said, bugles and trumpets, and they'll march all over, as Pastor Edith actually um indicated.
SPEAKER_00: And this is to establish what we are doing here today.
SPEAKER_00: And so we connect.
SPEAKER_00: I thank God for Pastor Ambaka and Josh and the men who are here as they get set.
SPEAKER_00: We are going to be making a sound.
SPEAKER_00: Now, this sound can be made with a trumpet, it can also be made with a whistle, natural whistle.
SPEAKER_00: In the first service, we had some very good people who did it.
SPEAKER_00: I forgot how to do it.
SPEAKER_00: It's a there's a way you can make your lips and then you blow air through the through there.
SPEAKER_00: For those who used to look after cows and all, and uh you're trying to get your cows together, and uh you had a way of whistling, and the cow would know it is time to go for water, it is time to go to the eating place, it is time to go home because there were different sounds you made, and even the animals knew what those sounds uh meant.
SPEAKER_00: And so we are releasing the golden sound of jubilee, and we are releasing it by faith.
SPEAKER_00: As this sound is released, the dynamics of reset, the dynamics of restoration, or rather the grace of reset, the grace of restoration, the grace or grace of revival, the grace of reconciliation, the grace of redemption, the grace of rest, and the grace of release.
SPEAKER_00: These graces come like this, like river rivers, and they are causing switches, and you shall hear during the whole week all the kind of switches that uh we are talking about here, and uh receive, you know, receive the grace as we make the sound, and may God amplify many times over your victory by faith.
SPEAKER_00: Put a demand note.
SPEAKER_00: I like the way past you put it.
SPEAKER_00: You say a demand note, put a demand note.
SPEAKER_00: That's what God is waiting for.
SPEAKER_00: What is it you're expecting from the Lord?
SPEAKER_00: This week, this season is a very pregnant um season.
SPEAKER_00: In fact, we are blowing how many times?
SPEAKER_00: Nine times, which is deliberating, is a number of birth.
SPEAKER_00: Nine months, and you get a baby.
SPEAKER_00: And so, this is a week we are seeing the birthing of amazing things, and therefore, your past will be your past.
SPEAKER_00: You are entering now a great and wonderful future.
SPEAKER_00: In fact, the theme, yes, give a hand to the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Let's just give a hand to the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: The theme of this week is the Jubilee Switch.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, celebrating a legacy, unlocking a future, and then hashtag the future starts now.
SPEAKER_00: You can tell the person next to you when you say jubilee, they should say the future starts now, and then you exchange.
SPEAKER_00: Jubilee, the future starts now.
SPEAKER_00: Let's try it.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_00: The future starts now, and it's a beautiful future, it's a wonderful future.
SPEAKER_00: I invite us to stand, and uh, we shall have the trumpet blown those nine times because of the faith we have.
SPEAKER_00: We see the birth, it's like the launch and commission of commissioning of a new future.
SPEAKER_00: We see the birthing of a future that is so beautiful, that is so powerful, a future for Africa, a future for Kenya, a future for you and me, a future for our family.
SPEAKER_00: We see a future for our children, great-grandchildren, and generations coming from us.
SPEAKER_00: This is an act of faith.
SPEAKER_00: And the Bible says, What you agree on earth is agreed in heaven, and what you lose on earth is losed in heaven.
SPEAKER_00: Pastor Kennedy uh be joining me as we do this, and so let's go for it.
SPEAKER_00: After we finish the blowing, um, I think we shall clap or also shall and uh do the what the whistles are called whistles.
