Identity And Being Wonderfully Made
SPEAKER_02That's important. Today we're zeroing in on that daily pledge, that daily commitment. Who you are, who are you? We are saying I am a creative, compassionate spiritual being currently living in physical form. And I am wonderfully made. That means I'm perfect. God created me in a perfect way. There is no defect in you. People may see defects in you, but God sees you as perfect. He created you exactly the way he wanted to do it. And he has a purpose for you the way you are. That is the most important thing in life. And you are valuable before him and you are unique. Hallelujah. God's divine plan is for me to be connected in a loving relationship with him first, and then all living things. That's the perfect place to be. When you are connected with God, you have a relationship with him, you know him, you are plugged into him, and you are also connected to all other living things in a loving relationship. When you live in that sphere, in that zone, you are a blessing. You touch this wall in a very special way and you enjoy peace that no one can be able to explain.
Trusting God Through Loss
SPEAKER_02And I'm not late. There's a reason behind everything that has happened in my life up to this moment. I may not fully understand it, but I choose to trust God. This is one thing that the enemy uses a lot on us because things happen. Life happens, we suffer loss, we suffer grief. Um, you know, we are betrayed. There are a lot of things that happen in our lives, tragic things, good things. And sometimes the enemy will like to show you that oh, these things have happened because you know God doesn't love you, you've made mistakes, he's punishing you, um, he's teaching you a lesson because you didn't do that. That is the reaching of the enemy. At this point, we are declaring, you know, I'm not late. There's a reason behind everything that has happened in my life at this up to this moment. I may not understand why, I may have questions as to why it happened, which happened when it happened, but I choose to put my total trust in the God who created me, Him that brought me into this universe, him that created me, that woven me and has brought me his response for my life, and anything that has happened to my life, I choose to trust him. I may not understand it, I may have a lot of questions, but I choose to fully trust in him. When I pray this morning, may that come powerfully in us, may it give us peace of mind because we don't want to stay in that place of asking questions. But God, why me? Why? Why did it happen? Why now? Why this timing and why and why did you choose me of all the people? And you go down that rabbit hole, uh, the enemy is so happy because he's he said he's putting a wedge uh between you and God. But you know when you realize you know you didn't bring yourself to this world, God brought you to this world, he has a purpose, he has a plan for you, and therefore, if he allows anything to happen in your life, there's a purpose for it, and you just choose to put your total trust in him. And this morning I pray, brethren, part of this study, they challenge you, reach a point where we have total trust and confidence in God. And that's what happened to Job as he kept losing. The enemy kept attacking, he lost his children, he lost his resources, his wealth, he lost his friends, his friends abandoned him, said God. The wife told him, you know, cast God and die. But you know what? He kept his faith, he kept his total trust in God. And the Bible says he got restoration. I pray this morning that restoration will be your portion. Keep hanging in there. That which you think you lost, God is going to repay you double double for your trouble. Say amen. So let's keep photography of faith in God. Let's not have to be wavered, let's not allow the enemy to waver us around, stand firm as a rock and see what God is going to do in Jesus' name. And surely God's goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of your life, of my life. Whether that will be your portion today. Say amen to that.
Prayer And Daily Declarations
SPEAKER_02Let's do our daily prayer. Lord, I thank you for my blessed life and this magnificent universe and surely this beautiful new day. We ask that you please bless all living things today with your love, with your grace, and with your abundance. And may you flow to me and through me infinite love, joy, peace, purpose, and prosperity during this brand new day that you're given to me. Amen. Amen. May that prayer become a reality in your life, in my life, that we can become a channel of love, of joy, of peace, and we can live on purpose and we can enjoy the prosperity that comes only from God. Say amen to that. Hallelujah. Let's do our mantras. Um, these are daily declarations here. Make them every morning, and we are declaring with Paul, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Brethren, we can do all things, not some things, all things. Whatever you are is in front of you right now, whatever mountain is in front of you, whatever challenge that stands before you right now, we declare you can do it through Christ who strengthens you. Let's tap into the strength that comes from the Lord Jesus Christ, not our experience, not our training or education, not our brilliance, but we can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, who strengthens
Living On Purpose Not Wealth
SPEAKER_02me. I am living on purpose and I am on schedule. Yesterday, that was the subject, living on purpose. We saw that those that enjoy life, those that are happy here on this earth, who are thriving, enjoying every single day, there are people that are living on purpose. It's not those that have money. A lot of people are pursuing wealth and money and resources. And today we'll also talk about that, the philosophy of life. You see them around, and oh my goodness. And then they are so miserable. They are so miserable. Those big mansions, you wish, oh, maybe I should have been staying current, maybe there where everybody else is coming up. I'm telling you. And I'm not saying it's everyone, but don't be carried away by those mansions. Inside those big mansions are helpless, very unhappy people. Very, very unhappy people. The people that are thriving and enjoying every single day. It's not necessarily the people driving those big cars or living in those big mansions. They are people that are living on purpose. Who wake up every day and they are living on purpose. They are living for forces that are far much bigger than them. Um, they are pursuing God's calling in their life. Um, they are in the center of God's will and touching this world in a very special way. Um, and and it's never, it's never about all those things that you see out there that the world is chasing. Uh, so brethren, let me not get carried away by this. I'm living on purpose and I am on schedule. I pray this will be your portion, my brother, will pursue purpose. Whatever you are, pursue purpose, and you'll find joy, you find peace, you'll enjoy every single day when you begin to touch this world in a very special way. And you know what? What does that mean? It means living for others. Life cannot be about you, you know, every day is about me, it's about I'm solving for myself, and and there's a lot of that going on today. A lot of selfishness is all about you, about me. No, you have to begin to say, you know what, I'm living on purpose, and that begins when you begin to live for other people, and you enjoy a special peace and grace that is unmatched. May the Lord help us this morning. Live on purpose, and we are on schedule, we are exactly where God wanted us to be. We are not late at all. That's what the enemy likes to come and frustrate. Oh, you're so late, and you should have known this before, you should have done this when you are 20, you should have done this before you got married. Absolutely not. You are on schedule. Everything that has happened has been on purpose. You're exactly where you need to be, and let us put our total trust in God.
Spiritual Power Means Letting Go
SPEAKER_02Hallelujah. Our key truth this morning: power in the physical world is measured by how much you can lift up, but in the spiritual world, power is measured by how much you can let go. If there's one thing that you could learn here, these 30 days, letting go, learning new things, opening your heart, receiving new teachings, and letting go of every single thing that's not serving you, that's not your friend. Uh, in the spiritual realm, it's not how much you can lift up and muscles, it is how much you can let go, let go of people, let go of those ideas that you learned, you don't even know where you pick them from, that they have not served you. Question every single thing you do. Does it align with God's word? Let go of everything that's not of value, that's not serving you. You begin to live a new life in a new
Generosity And Seeking God First
SPEAKER_02dimension. Abundance mentality, we cannot overemphasize this, brethren. Generosity opens doors. Generosity is the key to blessings. There are a lot of people running around from crusade to crusade, from you know, evangelist to evangelist, from meeting to meeting, asking to be blessed, to be prayed for blessings. You go to the Bible and see where the blessings come. He says, give generously, live generously to the poor, to those around us. And the Bible says, God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. But see, the enemy is very crafty. The only one to make you believe that, or if somebody prays for you, he puts his hands on you, then you receive blessings. You go back to the Bible and see where blessings come. The promises of God are there. You know, stand out there, be conscious to the needy around you. Be generous. That's God's promise. And God is faithful. He says, He'll bless you in all your work and in everything you put you under. And there are many, many other blessings there. He just picked one here. And we pray that these 30 days the generosity spirit will be opened in you that be generous, generous to God, generous to the people around you, generous to his work, generous to his church, um, the church of Jesus Christ. Generous in, you know, you're there, you're generous to um, you know, to supporting God's causes. It is a blessing in Jesus' name. Give us Matthew 6:33, but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Uh I say, let us seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to us as well. You know, the enemy laughs to twist things around. The enemy wants you to seek things instead of seeking first. You know, seeking first means to me is putting God first, putting God first, and that's why the enemy laughs, he wants us to put ourselves first. Even that's why people with a lot of churches struggle because believers put themselves first. Instead of putting the church, putting God's work first, we put ourselves first, and then um the enemy laughs it. And that's why you know there's so much struggle in the house of God, um, because you know, believers are not putting God first. You sort out yourself first, and then if something remains, that's when you want to come and be a blessing to the church. And the enemy just laughs because he knows that's the wrong way around. He said, No, first seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, then these other things will be given to you as well. And that's why when the enemy wants to destroy you, he always twists things. He said, Ah, no, no, you know, you're giving too much to the church, giving too much to the church. Sort yourself first. You see, you already have debts here, debts there. How can you, you know, put yourself first, sort yourself out? Because he knows once you go that route, the blessings of God that is on your life will begin to disappear, and the struggle comes. May
Promises And Transformation By Spirit
SPEAKER_02the Lord help us. 1 Corinthians 2 9. No eye has seen, no ear has heard what no human mind has conceived, the things God has prepared for those who love him. May this scripture be revealed in our lives that God has got great things for us and things that are extraordinary that no eye has seen. And no ears are the things that God has planned for you who love him. So we desire to love him greatly. Uh 1 Samuel 9, 10, 6, 10. This one is saying the spirit of God will come powerfully upon you and you will prophesy with him. You'll be changed into a different person. There's a song that we sing to Taban Elishua to Fanar and I. When you come to the Lord, God's word changes us. You cannot come into an encounter with God's word and you remain the same. This is what happened to some to Saul. The Spirit of God came powerfully upon him, and he was changed into a different person. Brethren, we pray this 30 days challenge will deliver us on the 30th day at different people. A different people, different thinking, different philosophy, different mindset in every area of our lives. The spirit of God will continuously come powerfully upon us here every morning, and we are going to be changed. We're going to be transformed to be able to do what God has called us to do in Jesus' name.
Simple Health Disciplines For Energy
SPEAKER_02Remind ourselves of our health disciplines before we jump into today's teaching. Uh, spend some time outdoors, the weekend is coming. Good Friday is here. You know, Friday means weekend is knocking, knocking, knocking. Find some time, you know, as you jog, as you exercise, connect with nature, sense what God is doing around you. Take a lot of water, 10 glasses of clean water. This is therapy itself. If you drink 10 glasses of water, there are a lot of diseases that get killed by just you remaining hydrated and taking a lot of water. Um, so keep yourself, keep your body healthy. Um, I think it was yesterday, uh Paulino tell me, you know, what you eat is medicine. But it can also be a killer. So when you are careful what you are taking, how you are taking it, it's actually can be therapy, it can be medicine for your body, or it can be poison. So you have to be very careful what we take in. Take a lot of water, it will take care of so many things that you have been struggling with. Then purpose, of course, will be a blessing to someone today. One cannot pay you back. Same amen. Amen to that. Let's dive in, brethren.
Forgiveness Letters And Mind Cleansing
SPEAKER_02We have covered so much. Um, we have done cleansing our minds. We have written forgiveness letters. If you have not forgiven people, please do that. The same time before the 30th day. Don't we don't want to cross and graduate holding a grudge on anybody. Write those forgiveness letters to them. We say don't send them, ban them, but write those forgiveness letters. Let us release people that have hurt us. Let us, you know, just as you remember, forgive. Just write that letter to them and tell them, I choose to forgive you, I choose to move on with my life. Um, we have looked at our desires, we have looked at how this we have decoded them, we have done visioning. You know, all these things have been designed to help us, you know, to have a functional philosophy. And that's what we're going to be talking
The Right Map For Life
SPEAKER_02about today. Looked at metabolization, uh, store, you know, flashing the things that we don't need. And then yesterday we spent time looking at really living on purpose. And we'll pick up on that uh from today. Um, you know, looking at philosophy, and we're asking the question you have the right map. Do you have the right map? This is so so foundational. Let's see. Um, what what where we base our scripture from in in in um Matthew chapter 16, uh verses 13 to 21 says, when Jesus came to the region of Caesarea in Philippi, he asked his disciples, Who do people say the Son of Man is? It's just a powerful question. He asked his disciples, he asked all of them, not some, sometimes we'll give you three of them, but here he puts the disciples together and he asked them who do people say the son of man is? Then first what he says, they replied, Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets. Then first 15, Jesus now confronts the disciples and what about you? Who you say I am? Brethren, this was an important confrontation, it will define how the new church would evolve. This particular question, who you say I am, brethren. This question, even today, will define how your life unfolds. Who do you say Jesus is? What is your philosophy? A lot of the challenges we see, we see people struggling in working with God, or struggling in giving, or struggling in serving, struggling with their work in God, struggling is because of this fundamental question. And Jesus confronts them and says, Who you say I am this morning? Who is Jesus to you? Who is he? What is your answer to that question? What is your philosophy? Because everything flows out of this. Then 16 says, Simon Peter answered, You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God. And Jesus replied, Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah. For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but my father in heaven. Brethren, I pray this 30 days and today that God will reveal a revelation of who He is, will reach us. Because when we have a revelation from God, not from people, not from your friend or from your cousin or from your father to son. When you get a revelation of who God is, of who Jesus is, it changes everything. It is foundational, it's the map of life. So he says, and I tell you, now he continues to say, you know, he tells Peter, this is revealed to you by this, not by flesh and blood, but by my father in heaven. And then he says, and I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I'll build my church, and the gates of hate will not overcome it. Brethren, when you have clear understanding of who God is, you become unstoppable. No hell, no hell can stand. No nothing, no weapon formed by the enemy will stand upon you. When you are clear about who God is, and you have a revelation. So nobody can take you from there. They can imprison you, they can put you in jail, they can take anything away from you. But that revelation of who God is can never be taken away from any from you by anybody. You become unstoppable. It's a philosophy. And he says, I'll give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. That him that has got that revelation said there's a key. He said, I'll give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. I prayed this morning, this 30 days, the keys of the kingdom. Will be given to you. Kumba, this kingdom has got keys. This kingdom of God has got keys. And we need to make sure that we have these keys. And these 30 days I pray, brothers and sisters, we shall continuously receive a key every day. This kingdom has got keys. And then he says, Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven. And whatever you lose on earth, we lose in heaven. What a powerful promise. Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah. This was foundational, brethren. It defined everything. And today, brethren, as we look at life's map, as we just, you know, sort of double-click on this on this question. The question is today if you have the wrong map, it will hurt you. And Jesus was interested in making sure that these people had the right map. Now, we've given that example here before.
Wrong Map Analogy And Belief Systems
SPEAKER_02If let's say those of us yesterday who traveled over the weekend to Mombasa, you know, we landed in Mombasa, and let's say, um, we of course we we we we don't know Mombasa. So you get a map. I know these days people don't use maps because you got Google, Mr. Google is on your on your phone, so he can guide you. But in those days, when people used maps, when you land in Mombasa and you ask for a map, you'd go to the tourist desk, they'll give you a map of Mombasa, because I want to, you know, tour Mombasa and all that. So you go in and they give you a map of Mombasa. That map has got roads, it is leveled, everything, it tells you which direction, where is the ferry, where is the port, tells you where is um Fort Jesus and all the nice uh uh you know attraction that you want to see. And let's say you want to use that map to now drive around Mombasa. Now let's say this map is actually they've made a mistake. The map is written Mombasa, but the printer mix it up, and that map is actually a map of Nairobi, but on top there is reading Mombasa, and you take that map, and then you begin um you begin to use that map for it to guide you in Mombasa. The map is actually a Nairobi map, but it's written Mombasa, and you believe you strongly believe that that map is Mombasa, and you insist on using it, you believe, yeah, it's actually the map of Mombasa, but it's actually not a Mombasa map, it's actually a map for Nairobi, and you begin to drive around for it to guide you. Will that map help you? Having that map help you or frustrate you? The truth is that that map will not help you. Living on the wrong map will not help you. Now, let's say you are a very good driver, you are a good driver. Will you will you are being a good driver help you if the map you're using is wrong? Maybe you are an experienced driver, you have driven all your life, but the fact that you are using a wrong map, you are being a good driver, does not help you. Let's say you have a great attitude, oh attitude is everything. Be positive. I'd rather don't get don't you know be positive and you know, but you are using the wrong map. It does not matter how great your attitude is. If the map you are using is wrong, it's not going to take you anywhere. Let's say you want to work hard. Oh no, don't brother. Me, I'm hard working. I'll take you around from this city. It does not matter how hard you work. If the map that you are using is wrong, every single minute you are driving around that map, you are getting lost and getting more frustrated. Let's say you are a great communicator. I know how to communicate. And you know, I it does not matter how great your communication skills, how great you are a driver you are, as long as you are using that wrong map, you are heading nowhere. And brothers and sisters, if you don't get your philosophy right, if you don't get right your belief system, if you don't come to a point of agreeing, what exactly is your philosophy? You can do so many things, you can work hard, you can be a communicator, you'll end up absolutely nowhere in life. And eventually it will be all lost on this app. You have to have the right function, the right philosophy, you have to have God's word as central in everything that you do. Believing on the wrong map. As long as you continue believing on that wrong map, it will not help you. And you know, all of us have a belief, all of us we have a belief on what life is
Make The Bible Your Guide
SPEAKER_02about. And if you have the wrong belief, it does not matter what else you add on top of that, you'll get frustrated in life. We all have a map of the train of existence. So when we ask those things, for example, you know what you believe? You believe there's heaven, you believe there's heaven and hell. What is your belief? Are there angels? Is the devil real? Are there demons? Does this world rotate around you alone? Or do you believe that you know you are just one of the many creatures that God has created you? Is it all about, you know, sometimes you look at what's happening around here? Is it all about accumulation of wealth? Do you believe that the whole essence of life is accumulating wealth? And you know, we see it around um, you know, around us, um, you know, people are just want to accumulate wealth and have money and this and that, and consider yourself at this. Is it that is it all about life? Is it all about wealth? Is it all about buying this and owning that and owning that? Is that all about life? Is the world, you know, for a long time people believe the world was flat. They believe that if you keep going somewhere, you'll fall down somewhere at the end. What's your philosophy? Life, what do you believe? Do you believe you know that God has created you here to be a blessing, to touch this world as a in a special way? Um, you know, you know, what's your view on life? What's your view of um of on this world? So, all these questions, brethren, they are fundamental. To guiding how you live, and that's why Jesus asked Peter and the disciples, who do you say I am? Who am I? And the answer to that question determines how you live, determines how your life unfolds. That's why it's important for us to make sure that we have the right roadmap. We must make the Bible, God's word, the center of every single decision that we take. The Bible has become your word. We must choose to trust the Bible and you know what does God say about it? Any challenge that we have, what does God's word say about? That must become the life map that we follow and believe everything that's written. Not believe some portions of it on my high, so believe some portions of the Bible, and some of them I'm not really sure about them and whatever. You must choose to make a decision. And God's word, yes, written in the Bible is truth, and it'll be your guide, it'll be everything. Once you get that right, you begin to move forward, and that's why in the beginning, you just talk about in our daily pledge. We are trying to declare who we are in the first uh this this thing that we do here every day. Oh we know this pledge is important, and it's it's answering who are you? Who am I? Who are you? What what's your philosophy? Who do you believe you are? Um, you know, what why am I here? We have tried to answer that question in several teachings. Why am I here? Why are you existing here? What do you want? You know, what should you be eating? Because, for example, if you believe that God has a divine purpose, divine mission for you here on earth, and there's work to be done, there's work to be accomplished, then you've got to be careful what you eat because you want to live long, you want to uh you want to serve for long, you want to accomplish things for God. The reason why, again, I said people struggle in serving God is because they have not resolved those questions. A lot of people struggle giving to go to work because they have not resolved that their philosophy is not right. But once you get the philosophy right and you understand the importance of it, everything begins to flow. And so this morning we are saying, don't use the wrong map. A lot of us are using the wrong map, believing in the wrong thing. And therefore, every single hour, every effort you make, you're heading in the wrong direction. The best way is go get the right map and begin using the right map. Then your effort, hard work, experience, attitude, all those things begin to flow in because you are now having the right philosophy. This morning, brothers and sisters, may the word of God be fundamental. May it be fundamental in everything that we do. Let it begin to to guide us. God, what does God say? What does the Bible say about that? And choose to believe it. Even when you don't understand it, even when you when it does not make sense, choose to believe in God's word. The God's word must be the center of everything that we do, not people's opinion, not the experience and wisdom of men, but God's word. And once you make that decision, everything just begins to fall into place. Brethren, it's day two of our third-day challenge, and I pray it's
Reflection Questions And Habit Teaser
SPEAKER_02going to help you. You have your daily exercise there. There's a full notebook there, and these are just questions that you can questions that you can just play around with them. They are with they are designed to uh to just just provoke you. Who am I? What do I want here? Why am I here? And you can play around with them. Who, what, when, where, why, how. As you play around with all those questions, a lot of it, a lot of things will begin to come into place. That's why Jesus said, This revelation, Peter has not come, it's been a revelation from God. And on this basis, this is how we are going to build our church, and no gate of hell would prevail upon it. May the Lord help us, brethren. Thank you. Allow me to reach there as I welcome Brother Steve to lead us in prayer this morning. And I pray that it should be well. And tomorrow we are picking up again. I think tomorrow we are beginning the habit elevation, I believe, tomorrow. And that you know, you don't want to miss that. The power of habits is going to enter into that uh into that.
