Change Anything in Your Life
Speaker 1feeding . Sleeping eyes are fed , feeding . Good morning forever . Good man , good man , boy , I want my good man . Good man , good man , hey , boy , I want my good man . Good man , good man , boy , I want my good man .
Speaker 1We are trusting God for addition in your life . Unless you seek God , the very things that you desire in your personal life , in your relationships , in your business , in your career , in your ministry , in church , whatever you desire , the Bible tells us , as we seek Him and His righteousness , all these other things shall be added to you and we're looking forward to hearing testimonies of what God has been able to do to us as we seek Him here every single morning . John 1010 , the book says the thief comes only in order to steal and to kill and destroy . And our Lord Jesus Christ came that we may have and enjoy life , and have it in a bad other . Maybe you're in a position today where you don't feel like you're enjoying life . We want to tell you that's not a ghost , divine plan for you . God wants you to enjoy life and not just enjoy it . He wants you to have enough evidence to work up . Everybody excited about life , you know . Excited about tomorrow , excited about today , excited about the future , because he came to me how and enjoy life and have it in a bad other .
Speaker 1We're declaring that every morning in the name of Jesus Christ , as I have for 319, . I was a see . I am doing a new thing . Now it springs up . Do you not perceive it ? I'm making a way in the wilderness and streams in the western , and this morning we declare , of everyone that is here this morning and even those that may listen to this and that's not how bad in your life has been , that's not how big a drought you have experienced in your life . But we are declaring , as you join us here every morning , and the door is going to open a door , it's going to make a path where there seems to be a wilderness , in the forest , where it looks impossible , things in your life that looks impossible . And we are declaring that you , through this program , in the name of Jesus , he will make a way for you . He says , even in the west land , where nothing looks like it can grow , where nothing looks like it can spring up . And that's the way . Sometimes our lives look like we can , look like our life is completely wasted . We feel like we cannot do anything , we have reached a dead end . But you know what Our God is , a God who turned around . We have seen Him turn around people . We saw Him turn around prostitutes . We saw Him turn around desperate people and he's made something out of them . You know what ? God is not limited in His ways and we are declaring that in our lives every single morning . The God overturned around , the God of surprise . He will surprise you because what ? That's just His nature . So he says , even in the wilderness , he says there , I will make a way , because each Jehovah is God . And he says in the west land I will make streams , you know , I will produce life in the west land . And that's our belief this morning in Jesus , might in Him , hallelujah .
Speaker 1Let's go straight on to our teachings for today , in the short time that we have , and the one again to just base our teaching from the book of Nehemiah , and this time around we jump to chapter 2 , verses 11 to 20 . We are closing this topic of seven keys to changing anything in your life . We began that three days ago and today we are coming to bring it to a conclusion . Seven keys to changing anything in your life . If you apply these things in your life , they are powerful . You can change anything , whatever situation in your life . This morning looks like it can't move . You know . You know what this , what you shared here and as you bring this to a conclusion , these things are powerful , they work and you know you can change any situation . The good news is it is in your hands . You don't need somebody from somewhere , you don't need some prophet from Israel or from someplace to come and prophesy of your love , of your life . These keys are there . They are valuable to you . You can grab them and you can be able to open doors with them . In Jesus' name . Nehemiah , chapter 2 , verses 11 to 20, .
Rebuilding and Success
Speaker 1Bible says I went to Jerusalem and , after staying there three days , I set out during the night with a few others . I have not told anyone what my God had put in my heart to do for Jerusalem . You know there are some times when the Lord puts things in your heart . You don't tell many people , you keep it to yourself , and this is what Nehemiah did . He says there were no mouths with me , except the one I was riding .
Speaker 1When it is by night , I went out through the valley gate towards the Jack-O-Well and the dark gate , examining the walls of Jerusalem which had been broken down and its gates which had been destroyed by fire . I want you to notice that it went out by night . There are some times when you do your things at night , when people are not watching , when people are not paying attention , when it's quiet , when it's only you and God . You know , by night . I love this morning prayer meeting very early in the morning in Jesus' name , he says . Then I moved on toward the Founding Gate and the King's Pool . You see the specificity . It was very specific . He's investigating , looking at the walls that had been destroyed , because in his hand burden had been put for these walls to be rebuilt . And then he says well , I went up the valley by night , he says , examining the wall . Finally , I turned back and re-entered through the valley gate . The official did not know where I had gone or what I was doing , because as yet I had said nothing to the Jews or the priests or nobles or officials or any others who would be doing the work .
Speaker 1Let me tell you , the Lord prepares you for assignments . There are times when it is quiet . There are times when you're brewing it in your heart . There are times when God puts a message in your heart that you can share with people , because it's not yet time and this world's happening here . I was in 17th and I said to them see , you see the trouble we are in . Jerusalem lies in ruins and these gates are being burned with fire . Come , as you hear the word of Jerusalem and we will no longer be in disgrace . Let me tell you , brethren , you know they made the Lord help us . You know Genema came and said let us rebuild the walls .
Speaker 1This 30-day challenge . We have been learning things that could help us . We are rebuilding our walls . We are rebuilding the walls of relationships . We are rebuilding our finances . We are rebuilding , you know , our minister , we are rebuilding our family lives . We are rebuilding , you know , we are just rebuilding our lives .
Speaker 1You know , and this is exactly what Nehemiah was doing and he said we will no longer be in disgrace . You know , when you learn new things , when you begin to apply God's word in your life , you're able to move from a position of disgrace and you no longer live in disgrace . And I pray in the name of Jesus Christ , by the virtue of you being here and the 30 days that we have been together , you will never live in disgrace again , things that we have tormenting you in the past . You're going to trample on them , in Jesus' name , and says . I also told them about the gracious hand of my God and what the King had said to me . They replied let us start rebuilding . So they began this good work and this morning , brethren , I want you to , I want to encourage us . Let's rebuild our lives , the things that we've learned , the lessons that we picked here as we put them into practice . We are rebuilding our lives , we are changing position and you're going to be able to move from one level glory to another . In Jesus' name , this is what Nehemiah was doing , so let's pick it up from there .
Speaker 1Actually , in the past 19th , he says but when Son Balad , the Holy Knight , to buy the Ammonite official and get him Haram , heard about it , they mocked and ridiculed us . There'll be people that will mock you . There'll be people who will ridicule you . Why are you waking up every morning ? Why are you doing all these things ? Why are the people always talk about it ? Why are you doing this ? You know , but they ask what is this you are doing ? They ask are you rebelling against the King ?
Speaker 1I answered them by saying the God of Heaven will give us success . And this morning I want to declare , each one of us here this morning the God of Heaven will give you success in that area that you're believing in , for the God of success will give you breakthrough in that area you're trusting in . For Every morning , declare you know as part of your declarations the God of Heaven will give you success . This is what Nehemiah says . Our success does not come because we are smart , because we are experienced , or because you know we are clever . No , no , no . The God of Heaven , the God that we serve , derives in giving us success . And Nehemiah said we , his servants , will start rebuilding . He said you know , we , by the time Nehemiah is declaring this , nothing has happened yet , he has not begun the world , but he's making declarations . He's saying we , his servants , will start rebuilding , you know . But he says as for you , you have no share in Jerusalem or in claim or historic right to it . It began declaring , saying the God of Heaven will give us success . And this morning I want to tell you the God of Heaven will give you success , the God that you serve . You've seen Nehemiah is taking a servant attitude . He's saying we , his servants , will start rebuilding . Get started , get moving , get progressing , move forward . The God of Heaven will give you success in Jesus' name . So with that we remind ourselves .
Speaker 1Yesterday we talked about you know , for you to be able to change anything in your life , you must stop mediocrity . Mediocrity is when you settle for less , for what you really are . And we saw the story of John Wooden was a mother , amazing coaches , and he would tell his , his , his , his team that you know what it's not . You may win a game and win two . You know 30 points or something like that , but actually what the time is , whether you've won , is whether you gave your all . And this morning , you know the enemy does not mind . You may not stop us from you know , from from being born again . You may not stop us from coming to church , but you know what , if the enemy can stop you from leaving your best and just come and show and give the minimum . Just give the minimum you love one . You know that's mediocrity and the goal that we serve is challenging us to give our very best . And this morning , if you want to change your life , be our person that has not entertained mediocrity . You set high standards for yourself , whether people are watching or they are not watching , whether it is in serving , in giving whatever area you set yourself to do . You know what don't you know . Set a very high standard for you know for yourself . You know give your all , don't settle for less than what you are capable of .
Speaker 1We said yesterday that winning or losing in life is an internal game and it comes from telling yourself the truth . You ought to begin by telling yourself the truth and yesterday we saw . The first point was get disturbed . Be honest with yourself . That's what Nehemiah and Nehemiah did , we saw . Number two is make a real decision . You know those who succeed in life and answer the question what is the result ? You are after , what's the purpose ? And these answers , and then what is the massive arching plan ? And this is what Nehemiah and did . Is he prepared to go and rebuild the world of Jerusalem ? And we saw yesterday .
Speaker 1The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing . You know people will keep saying , oh , how do they do this ? Or you know when this happens to me , or someday . And we saw yesterday . We reminded ourselves the road to someday through , someday and you use that word someday , someday , someday . So that road leads to a town called nowhere . You'll end up nowhere . If you keep saying I'll do it someday , you know when this happens someday , that it will take you to a town , a city called nowhere . And so we saw let's quit the talking , let's begin the doing . And I want to challenge you this morning everything you picked up here in this 30 day challenge and any other session , become a doer . Get going , get doing , start moving . And that's what Nehemiah did .
Speaker 1Number three , step number three we saw we said create a massive action plan . You know , make a plan , choose a plan . You said a mighty flame , a tiny spark . You've seen a small matchbox just lighting a small fire and then it becomes a massive flame . Why , you know , they create a massive action that . And we say don't you know ? You know , just get going , have a plan and get moving . And so today we pick up from there .
Speaker 1Now , step number four , key number four change your limiting beliefs . You know you are where you are today because of the beliefs system . So you know , we saw that our belief is nothing more than a feeling of absolute certainty about what something means . You pick beliefs along the way . Beliefs control our behavior . You are exactly where you are today because of your belief system .
Speaker 1So when you hear us saying carve out an hour of your day and start talking to yourself .
Speaker 1You begin it to investigate what do I do ? What do I do ? You dig deep and kill the onion . You realize actually there's a belief that is controlling you , because beliefs control our behavior . Some of them are unconscious or conscious and they come from things we have had or seen Along your life . You've seen many things . You have hard things spoken to you , some of them in your young , formative days , some of them in church , that you saw with your own eyes , but they were not decided the way you are today . You have been in and again until you became certain .
Speaker 1Once that is done , it becomes a belief and you can never rise above your belief . And so when you hear saying you know , confirm yourself , you know , carve out one hour every day of we're saying you are really investigating . Why do I do this ? Why do I respond like this ? And when you dig deeper , you realize there's a belief that is controlling you . And then you need to check which people are aligned with God's word , which beliefs are taking you backward .
Speaker 1You know , why do you have a revenge spirit , why do you believe that you must revenge , that you must teach somebody a lesson . Why ? Because when you grew up , that's what you saw people doing . They revenge . You know they did for that and this is ingrained in you , as you find that every time people do something wrong to you , you want to hurt them as well . You know you want to hit back , and we've seen that happening in the political world . They're doing this to power and they're doing this to the opposition . When the other opposition comes to power , they start doing exactly the same thing . Why ? Because we want to revenge . And you know what ? It's not biblical . The Bible says I do not let let's do not avenge yourself . You know what ? So the point is your beliefs that have brought you to where you are today . And if you would find time and ask yourself why , why behave like this ? You feel down and realize there's a difference between you and God . You're going to change it . You confront it with God . You look at what does God say about this ? And you know you change your life . Bible says when God spoke to Joshua , he said meditate upon my one day and night . When you reach a point of meditating , listening to scripture , you're looking at , you're allowing that scripture to have an impact in your life , then you begin to change your behavior
Transformation Through a Near-Death Experience
Speaker 1.
Speaker 1I was reading this story of this man . He was a young man and he was called one night at night and some people had broken into a shop at Steele and so he ran off . He was a very , very serious policeman and as soon as he got the news he ran , he drove to that place . As he's driving to go to this place where the he saw some other policemen that were just , you know , sort of just lying on the road not responding . But you know he was , he was a determined officer . So he ran to this shop and he arrives into this shop and he finds these four men who are robbing this shop , all of them armed , and he found himself alone against four people with guns . And it's at that moment that he realized he was in trouble One police officer against four armed men and they are stealing . And he didn't know to realize he was in trouble . And there's that point .
Speaker 1Just by instinct he started , you know , declaring . He told them you know , guys , you are all surrounded , you know he's alone , nobody found him . He's like he's made a mistake , because he's a policeman , you don't go alone , you go with your colleagues . But he had left his colleagues along the way and he's responding . And he started talking to this . You know , to these thieves All of them , you are all surrounded . Drop down your arms . You know I'm talking about declarations . You know you're all surrounded . You are all surrounded . You're all going to be killed . You know you're all going to be killed . Drop down your arms . And you have that bonus and that confidence to convince these people that they are all surrounded .
Speaker 1Yet he was only alone . And then he started asking them by the way , you could get killed . How much money have you stolen ? You're only stolen $27 . Why do you want to get killed because of $27 ? Why don't you go to prison for $27 ? He started talking to these guys and you know what . They believed him . They dropped down their guns , he arrested them and you know what . He took them in . He escaped death narrowly . And then , as he was going back taking these guys , he realized you know what I was being foolish . How could I do this ? How could I get myself killed for $27 ?
Speaker 1And in that moment he decided to change his life . He said I'm not going to do this again . He left the police force and he went with his brother . They said you know what can we do ? What else can we do ? What you know , what else can we do ? He said it was around Christmas . They said can we start selling , maybe Christmas trees and stopping a police officer and starting cutting trees and selling them for Christmas ? And you know , it's usually did not go very well , but eventually it got a breakthrough and he sold so many trees , he made so much money , more than he was making as a police officer . Later on he changed his life . He went on to become one of the greatest millionaires and entrepreneurs .
Speaker 1It all began by one moment when he changed his belief and he took his realization . This moment of truth is when he changes his mind . He said , no , I can't live like this . And you know , sometimes , brethren , it just needs that . It needs that moment of change . You know , I can't live like this . I can't take this anymore . This is not my life . This is not what God promises for me . I cannot take this anymore . When that happens in your life , you begin to change . You're on your way to transformation , and so we need to know what you , what have you been telling yourself ? You have surrendered your life through ? You know this is it . I can't do anything else . I can't . You know I'm completely a victim . You know what . You're not a victim . You can really look at your belief system . This man changed his life and he's gone on . Yet there are a lot of other things that we can't talk about now here , but you know what ? He went on to become a millionaire and he was just a single policeman . I took a wake up moment for him when he realized I almost lost my life . I'm a rescuer shop owner . We're done . It lost in seven dollars and I almost died . I almost died in the process .
Speaker 1Sometimes you need those near death experiences . We're cast out . Maybe this 30 day challenge is going to be one of those near death experiences . It's continually like this . Why ? Why , in fact , one of the questions he asked himself when he was looking at what to do . He was being asked what do you have ? He said no , you can speak English . He said you do . Can you do mathematics ? Yes , I can do mathematics . You know how many people can speak English . You know how many people can't even add . Do you know how many migrants come here and they can't even speak English ? You can speak English . You can do addition . We have got so much . You have a college , you can speak English , you can communicate . There's so much .
Speaker 1You have to accept the life you are leading and sometimes it takes these near death experiences to bring a total transformation . And we pray this morning that the Lord is going to help us to look at what are these beliefs that are empowered us , that are making us live the life that we should not be living , and we pray that , by the grace of God , it's going to inspire you to make a change . It takes those near death experiences with your life to get transformed in Jesus' mighty name . Step number five or kid number five . Set yourself up to win as you move on the journey of renew . Set yourself up to win when you begin on the journey , as you move forward .
Speaker 1You know when you're learning something new , you can do it perfectly the first time . You know there'll be times when you fall up and you have seen a small child beginning to work . When they begin to work they are crawling . Then they stand up and they fall . They stand up and they fall On your journey to transformation . You'll not get it perfectly the first time . I mean when we started meeting here every morning for almost three and a half
Success Through Persistence and Small Wins
Speaker 1years ago .
Speaker 1You know it was not easy . There were times when we could not wake up and we felt like you know , can I really do this every single day ? There were moments that we overslept . There were moments that you know we are supposed to be , you know leading here and you forgot , you overslept , and there were those baby movements up and down . But you know what , by persistence , god has been able to see us through . And it's exactly the same thing when you set up your to transform your life , whether it's your business , your finances you won't get everything right the first time . Allow yourself those baby moments and every time you rise up and make one step and you fall , celebrate it . You know , score the experience . You know just listen . You know find ways of just and motivating yourself to go to setting yourself to win small wins , small wins , small wins .
Speaker 1Maybe you've not been able to save anything . You start saving just a thousand shillings . You should celebrate that this month I've been able to save at least a thousand that I could not touch . I've kept it aside because before you could not save anything , you know . So you celebrate those small moments in your life . Maybe you haven't been exercising and you're able to walk just 200 meters , you know . Celebrate that . You know . Be happy , at least you've done something , even if you just wake up and put on your you know , your joking clothes and you don't joke or you joke up the door . Celebrate that . Say to the day , at least I did something , I went up the door . Even if you go around your bed and you don't go out , at least you've made progress . Tomorrow you'll be able to go to the door . The next day you do 100 meters . The next day you'll be 200 meters . Maybe you have been , you know , trying to cut down on your food and say I will not eat this , I'll fast , or something like that . You only manage breakfast , but I'm lung is reaching . You're crying and you're having headache and it's throbbing and you find yourself attacking food . Celebrate , at least you jumped breakfast . That's how life is lived .
Speaker 1Small wins always motivate you and that's how . That's how encouragement from you . So if you want to change anything in your life , you know what , set yourself up to win . Don't set goals that you can't win . You're failing , because that will depress you , it will discourage you . You know what ? Set yourself , target things that you can win and celebrate small milestones along the way . Nobody ever gets it perfect in one day . Number six as we can set up yourself to win , measure your progress , measure your progress . You'll be excited about your results if you measure your progress . So , whatever goal you set for yourself , set yourself , measure , keep measuring in a small way . If you're losing weight , even if it's just 500 grams that you've lost in a day , celebrate that one , but make sure that you can celebrate Even if there are small , small results . They will be able to help you , motivate you as you go along .
Speaker 1You know we talked about this that another way of ensuring that you keep going is when you attach what you're doing to the six needs that we described your certainty , significance , love . Maybe you want to exercise . You need to attach that to one of your key needs . Maybe , as you're exercising , let that become your moment of intercession . We are intercede for your family , intercede for your church , intercede for the nation . So you're running , you're exercising , but it's your moment of actually interceding . So that becomes you're not just running , it's actually your moment , your encounter with God . You attach something to what you're doing . Then you get the motivation to be able to you , to be able to move forward . We don't have time to go through this in detail , but I know we've covered it . But the point is , whatever you are doing , find a way of ensuring that you attach one or take six needs to what you are doing , or that is significance or love and connection , growth . You know your contribution . These are all things that will empower you to deliver on your promises in Jesus' name .
Speaker 1Step number six is take massive action . There's no time like the present . Anytime you set yourself on a goal , don't leave without said doing something . Do something while you are inspired , while you are in the state . The more massive the action , the more committed you will be to achieving the result . So take action immediately .
Speaker 1That's why the Bible says and the Maya , as soon as he got the letter from the king , we see him going out into Jerusalem , and it's at night . He's having his mound and he's going round round doing the inspection . He has not spoken to anybody , but he's taking action . He's checking the state of Jerusalem , is looking at every single wall and he has not started . The beauty has not talked to anybody , but he's taking action already . He's in the motion . God will work with people in motion . Begin doing something .
Speaker 1Don't say I will do tomorrow ? No , start today . You want to cut down on anything ? Start today . Don't wait until tomorrow . However small the action you can take today , do it now , don't wait for tomorrow . Many times we postpone , you know , as we said , okay , one day or next week , or when the salary comes , or when I get this , and that time never comes .
Speaker 1Take massive action If you want to change anything in your life . Be a person of taking action now , now , now , now , now . And so remember , when we felt inspired to start this prayer meeting , we didn't say no , we'll start next month . No , no , we say tomorrow morning we are beginning . And we have never stopped . Every single day we are here because we took action immediately in Jesus' name .
Speaker 1And then , lastly , as I finish and hand over to my brother on Esmas , to leaders in prayer , is the seventh power you know involve God . And , most important , you know , when you care about how people feel about you , you make them your peers , and there's nothing more powerful than your peers . Your peers influence you . Anybody that you care about , how you feel , anybody you care how , anybody that you care about . They have got a way of influencing you , and for you to be successful and lead an extraordinary life . You need to be .
Speaker 1Tap into that power of the environment . You are in a group . You know if you , if you , if you hang around people who live at a low standard , you're going to be operating at a low standard . So you'll be very careful about the environment that you , that you grow in , make sure you can . You can , because this is something in your power . That people that you care about , the people that you worry about , how they think about you , those are your peer group and therefore , be careful .
Speaker 1The people you choose , that environment would come in , whether you live at a high standard or a lower standard . Therefore , choose people that operated high standard , that set high standards for themselves . That's why it's encouraged you can get a coach . If you're training maybe you're exercising you get a coach to train you . Why do you do that ? Because it's going to hold you at an higher standard . You know so your peers determine how far you'll go , and that's something we have to be very , very careful .
Speaker 1What are the people hanging around you ? If you hang around people that are , that are already surrendered , you know you'll wake up every morning and say , oh yeah , maybe we're supposed to exercise , but he means given up or she's given up already . You end up eating cake without the wood gate instead of going to exercise . Why you're hanging around people that are living at a low standard and therefore you need to ensure the environment you are in reinforces for you , your wins and challenges you to greater heights . Why are we here every single morning ? Because we are challenging each other . We are trying to hold each other to higher standards and challenging each other . You know so . You know it's a . We are here together , as a family . We are trying to hold each other to higher standards so we can begin the day in power . We can begin the day with strength . Why ? Because we want to be successful .
Speaker 1You are here , group , in addition to God coming to your life , the people you hang around , the environment you create for yourself , will determine how far you're going to go . So be careful who you bring close to you . Be deliberate about the people that you choose to be around . You Choose people that challenge you , people that when you are with them , you finish the day and you feel like , wow , you've still got room to grow , I can be able to move forward . Don't hang around people that you know that operate at very low standards , people that that will not challenge you and that is across every area in your life . Visit your career , have mentors , people that you can look up to before you can sit down and ask questions how did you make it ? What are some things that you have for you ?
