Identity Declarations And Trusting God

SPEAKER_01 1:03

In my life this moment, I may not fully understand it now, but I choose to trust God and surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. We make that declaration. It's great to know who we are, remind ourselves who we are, and we thank God for what He is doing in our ministry. We've just come out of a powerful, powerful, powerful Kesha here at the Krem Center. And um, um, you know, our sister purity was preaching actually on this um particular subject. You know, just who we are. We know that we are powerful, we are perfect, we are valuable, and we are unique. And it's been an amazing, amazing time in God's house tonight.

Prayer And Morning Mantras

SPEAKER_01 1:47

And we thank God for that. Let's do a day prayer. Lord, I thank you for my blessed life, this magnificent universe, 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, imminent love, joy, peace, purpose, and prosperity during this brand new day that you've given to me. Allah say, Amen, amen, amen. Beautiful prayer. Indeed, we are a prayer is that we can become a channel through which God's blessings can go through every single day of our lives. Let's do our mantras this morning. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. We do anything that we do is because of the divine strength from God, and we know that He's here this morning to strengthen us, uh, even as we continue journeying together as a ministry. Now I'm living on purpose, now I'm on schedule, I'm exactly where God wanted me to be. I'm not late or early, I'm exactly where God wanted me to be, and I'm living on purpose. Then we added another one. We said, I am wealthy by nature. We declare that every morning I am wealthy by nature until uh the reality catches up with us. But we declare every morning we are um, you know, not only are we living on purpose and we're on schedule, but we are also wealthy by

Generosity And Seeking God First

SPEAKER_01 3:10

nature. Say amen to that. Mind ourselves of our key truths. Power in the physical world is measured by how much you can lift up, but in the spiritual world, it's measured by how much you can let go. And surely, for the last 26 days, we keep learning new things, being challenged to let go of things that are not serving us, you know, things that are mindsets, beliefs that we picked up along the way that completely don't serve us, and we throw them off so that we can be able to embrace and the new, and then God can be able to take us to uh the place where He wants us to reach in Jesus' name. Abana's mentality, Deuteronomy 15:10 has been a key scripture for us. Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart. Then, because of this, the Lord your God will bless you in your in you, he will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. We are claiming this scripture to be life, to be true to each one of us, even as we live with a heart from a heart of generosity. We are moved, we are touched by the suffering of the people around us, and we actually try to do something. It's really when it comes to the poor, Lord reminds us if you are when you intervene for the poor, you are actually tapping him. You actually is you're actually tapping into his blessings. Said he'll bless the work of our hands and anything that we ever put our hand to, it shall be blessed in Jesus' name. Hallelujah. Let's mind ourselves of our key verses. Matthew 6:33, the Bible says, But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. And indeed, that's what we have been doing. We continue to seek him as well as we have spent our whole night in of prayer at the current center. We are seeking him, seeking not just uh his kingdom, but also his righteousness. And we know that as we do that, uh, he'll bless us, and all these other things will be added to us as well. So we'll not chase things, we'll chase God. And that's the difference between uh spiritual and then spiritual. And spiritual chase things, they change positions, they chase titles, he will do anything, they will kill to get those titles. But righteous will seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and these are things will get added unto us, jobs will be added to us, children will be added unto you, businesses, finances, good health will become your portion in Jesus' name. And 1 Corinthians 2 9 says, No eye has seen, no ear has heard. No human mind has conceived the things that God has prepared for those who love him. And our challenge this year is that let us

Holy Spirit Power That Changes Us

SPEAKER_01 5:44

just continue to love him and to cherish him, and they shall be well. Uh, 1 Samuel 10, uh 6 to 10, the Bible says the Spirit of the Lord will come up powerfully upon you, and you'll prophesy with them, and you'll be changed into a different person. This is God commissioning soul, and we see the importance of the Holy Spirit. Um, it comes to change us. It's a confirmation that God is with you. And we need that all of us to be able to do God's work, God's will. And so when we desire that this 30-day challenge will get us closer to God, where we'll um you know we will be not only get closer to God, but also be changed and become different as it happened to King Saul as he continues to lead the children of Israel. Say amen to that.

Health Disciplines And Daily Kindness

SPEAKER_01 6:29

Our health disciplines, spend some time, walk slowly, outdoors. It's a weekend today, so we have no reason to find some time to connect with the nature. There's some calmness that um, you know, connecting with nature brings to you. The aggressiveness of city life, all those things they disappear, they melt when we spend time with God in nature. Then take a lot of water, let's take care of our bodies, it's our license to be here on earth and let us purpose just to be a blessing to someone today, and especially one that cannot pay you back. We want that to be a daily routine for us. And it cannot just have to be financial resources, it can be anything that you can be generous with in Jesus' mighty name.

Challenge Recap And Today’s Focus

SPEAKER_01 7:10

Wow, and with that, I want us to dive into today's topic. We have covered a lot, we have um, you know, we've connected with God, we have purified our hearts, we have written forgiveness letters, we understand meditation and we understand how to be grateful. We have gone through our desire, decoding process, we have looked at self-actualization. Why do I do what I do? Habit elevation, these are all foundational things that I pray that will get embedded in our heart of hearts so that they become natural. The same way we said lions aren't by instinct, they aren't because there is a lionism in them. And you know what, brethren, is exactly the same as us. We are powerful and uh we need to uh make sure that we can fulfill the purpose that God called us to uh to fulfill in Jesus' name. So we have covered a lot. Take time, uh, listen to it, um, share with as many people as you can, and let these teachings uh be a blessing to as many people as possible. But for that, with that today, I want us to dive into our today's topic and then to be adding it off our sister Joyce to lead us in prayer.

Faith Requires Partnership And Action

SPEAKER_01 8:16

And a very, very important to the power of goal setting, power of goal setting. Um, so I begin just introduce we need to and just want to say this that faith alone uh produces uh miracles, faith alone produces miracles because you say faith is the currency of heaven, but the faith that works miracles is never alone, and even if you go to the scripture where you see the Lord Jesus Christ performing miracles, he did not do it alone. Even when he went and um um um the Lazarus was dead for several days. When he came, he said, Go and unwrap him. Where is he? They said, No, he's smelling. He said, No, no, go untie him. And when they went and they untie it, he then now spoke and the miracle happened. So the miracle, the uh you know, the faith that works in miracles is never alone. It's a divine partnership. He goes to blind but Mars. And he has, you know, blind man Mars he has that Jesus is passing by. He says, I'm going to scream until I get all of them. He shouts, screaming, screaming, and the gets the attention of Jesus Christ. When he comes, he asks him, What do you want me to do for you? He says, I want to see. He was very clear about what he needed. So the miracles that happen, you know, Allies, so it's a divine partnership. And it's important to um, you know, to just appreciate, appreciate that. It's like a farmer. I think I gave that example. You have a farmer, you are good in farming, that's your profession. Then it rains and you don't plant. If it rains and you don't plant, it does not matter how pray how prayerful you are. It does not matter you call a battery of intercessors to come and intercede. Until you put a seed on the ground, you are getting no crop. You are getting no crop, you will not have a harvest. God will not plant for you. He will not come and do the planting for you. He expects us to do the planting. Then the supernatural begins to take place, the seeds begin to multiply. And that's what happens in the spiritual world, brothers and sisters. We have said we want to commit ourselves to understanding the spiritual realm. What happens in the spirit? You know, you want God to move, the faith that works miracles is never alone. You have to do um, you know, something, you have to do something, you have to partner with God for that miracle to happen.

Prayer With Thanksgiving For Results

SPEAKER_01 10:38

Now, here in Philippians chapter 4, verses 4 to 9, Paul writes the Philippians church, he said, rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again, rejoice. Let your gentleness be evident to all the Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, and with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. In this scripture, we get a method in which we present our needs, uh, our needs to God. And this is Paul encouraging the Philippian church, he's saying, you know what? Um, one of the things that you need to do is always do it uh from a position of thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is is everything. He's saying, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. So when you have a need, and we we'll talk about goal setting right now, but he's saying when you have something that you need to go to God and you pray, he's saying when you present it to God, present it with thanksgiving, what does that mean? You present it in a manner like it has already happened. So let's say you are believing God for a job, as you present that before God, you need to come in from a position of um, you know, thanksgiving and you know, acting or taking the posture as if that job has already been given to you. And this is the divine um you know participation that we are saying we need to get involved in uh for us to be able to uh to to see the miraculous happening in our life. So Paul is saying, rejoice, let your request be known, um, let your gentleness, um, you know, but the most important is saying um pray with thanksgiving. This is a key to answer prayer. You must pray to a position of thanks um giving. Now, having said that, uh, it is important to say, and I think we talked about that um, you know, yesterday, for you to be successful, for you to be able to partner with God, there are some things that you need to do. The same way that the farmer has to plant seeds, and it's only when he plants the seeds that he can be able to experience the

Why Goals Trigger Breakthroughs

SPEAKER_01 12:47

multiplication. It is the same thing when it comes to uh goal setting. Goal setting is one of those things that we must do for God to come and do the miraculous when you live without goals, when you live without goals, you live, you give God nothing to work with. And I pray that this is going to sink so well. So, the same way that the farmer um has to dig the soil, he has to dig and put the seed inside and put some manure, put some fertilizer. Then the miracle of the germination happens, and the miracle of multiplication happens. Without the farmer doing his part, God cannot do anything. Nothing is going to happen. You will never be able to have a harvest, you'll not be successful. You'll experience drought, you'll experience hunger, you'll be taken, you'll be taken out. It's the same thing here, brothers and sisters. If we want to see God moving heavily in our lives, we need to understand that goal setting is one of those ingredients that you can bring to God, then that prepares the stage for multiplication and for the miraculous. Goal setting. And this is so important sometimes. We see companies doing it. All companies talk about strategic plans. Those are all goals that as a country we have put place in place and said we want to be able to achieve this if we are going to become what you call a medium sort of term, medium economic country or something like that, um, from a wealth point of view. So, goal setting is one of those things that you must get good at because when you don't set goals, God has got nothing to work with. God has got nothing to work with. And so if we are going to experience the extraordinary, we must be brutally, brutally focused on setting their goals and saying, you know, uh saying this year, for example, if it's an annual year, you know, yeah, a year ago, say this year 2026, I need to be able to accomplish one, two, three, four, five. I need to have three-month goals, what we call short-term goals. You know, you've got long-term goals, you've got mid-term goals, and you've got short-term goals. You need to have goals in all those three spheres of your life. And that gives God something to work with. Something to work with. When you wake up and say, This year, I must be able to accomplish one, two, three, four. You know, for example, I think you know we are we are now pushing hard to get this construction um um going on for multi-purpose hall. And we are rallying, and you know, thank you so much for those uh who have already stepped in and pledged and uh for the roofing for the iron sheets. We really encourage um all of us to do to do that. But we had set a goal, we had

Biblical Proof That Goals Matter

SPEAKER_01 15:49

set a target this year, and we said we need to make sure that this one-to-purpose hall is actually roofed. And we had set that as a goal. That's why in the budget we have to make sure that when we are doing our funding there, we had tried to put some money in there. And we knew at this time when we'll need to be able to mobilize to buy those iron sheets, and then we're able to put them and you know get that amazing hole on his journey to completion. That's a goal that we had. If we had not had that goal, we could have said, oh, maybe we should let's wait again, maybe next year, and you can keep postponing. But when you have a goal, you give God something to work with. And I'm confident that God being with us, we're going to roof that place. Uh, as the way we have we have we've said we're going to do it, and God is going to get the glory himself. So goals is is is them is this fuel to God's miracles. When you don't have a goal, when you don't have a target, when you don't have something you've set, you God has got nothing to work with. And so we must make sure that um we understand this very clearly. In Proverbs 21:5, it says, good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty. Good planning. In in another English, in another language, you can say good um goals. Because when you plan, you are setting goals and saying when you have good goals and hard work, it leads to prosperity. A lot of people are running around to be prayed for prosperity. Oh, pray for me, I want to prosper, I want to be rich, I want to get this. He said, No, the path to prosperity is good planning and hard work. It is here in the Bible, Proverbs 21:5. Solomon finished it for us. The key to prosperity is good planning and hard work. Those lead to prosperity. So we must be good planners. We cannot be able to, we need to come drill down to even have the goal for today. I have my weekly goals, of my monthly goals, I have my half-year goals, I'm my one-year goals, and I've got long-term goals. We must be driven uh by goals because we give God something to work with. Luke chapter 4, verses 42 to 44. He says, at daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him. And when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. But he said, I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent. Here is miracle, his ministry was doing very well. Miracles were happening, and people didn't want him to go. They were saying, No, stay here, continue healing the sick here. But Jesus started around and says, No, no, I've got goals. Goals force you to go to the next thing, goals keep your momentum, goals force you to be disciplined, goals give you direction. And this is what Jesus is saying. I'm not just here um, you know, just to to do miracles here in your village only. No, I've got the war of Israel to be able to do and even beyond. Um, because Jesus was a goal, was a goal setter. In Luke 13, that one to that three, you know, we can read a bit that too. He replied, God tell that fox, I'll keep on driving out demons and healing the people today and tomorrow. On the third day, I will reach my goal. In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow for the and the next day, for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem. Again, here you see Jesus, even in his ministry of driving out demons and healing people, you know, he had clear goals. I must reach my goal before I go start dealing with the issue that you have come to call me um, you know, for. So goals are very, very, very important. And I want to give you uh just um verse 3 29, 11. We know that scripture very well. Well, I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. That's God speaking to us. He said he has he wants the best for us, he wants us to prosper, he wants just one to harm us, he wants us to have a hope and he wants us to have a future. That is, and he said he has got plans

Simple Rules For Better Goals

SPEAKER_01 19:56

for us. So God has got plans, but we must now bring the plan and our goals to God for us for him to be able to work with it. So when it comes to setting goals, there are several things that we say that you must have. Number one, set goals that are measurable, measurable, something you can measure. Don't say, you know, I'm going to drink more water today. You know, like we have this goal of taking eight glasses of water every day. Don't say today I'm going to drink more water. More is not specific. How do you know when you have accomplished it? So you must say, my goal today is to drink three liters of water today. So if I don't drink three liters, I know I've failed. So whenever you are setting goals, make sure they are they are measurable. Somebody can be able to measure them. Don't make, don't be fake. Put them, make sure those goals are measurable and you'll see what's going to happen. Don't say, um, you know, um tomorrow I'm planning to, you know, to wake up and I'll go and exercise. No, be specific. Say I'll wake up at 5 a.m. and I will go and run for two kilometers and I'll measure that I do that. You are specific. So you don't wake up and instead of going out to run, you start going around your bed. You know, you can still go around your bed and that's still exercise, right? But you need to be specific and saying the exercise that I want to do is to be able to run four kilometers, five kilometers before coming back. So goals must be measurable. Remember, we are saying that you need to give God something to work with. If you don't give him goals, God is just standing there and waiting on you. He said, I'm waiting on you, my son, I'm waiting on you, my daughter. So you must have clear, clear, very, very specific goals that are measurable. Number two, they should be positive. They should be positive. They should be positive. You know, um, don't say I'm going to um, you know, quit something. You know, be very, very clear. Say, you know what, I'm going to begin to breathe free, you know, fresh air. So be positive. Let the goals be positive. them energize you um you know in other languages we say let the goals be we say they are smart they are specific they are measurable um you know that that's how we how to how to get it clear smart goals that's the term that we sometimes use in business so you know they need to be positive goals then number three they need to be clear concise and singular clear concise and singular when you when it's like that then there will stand a big chance of getting these goals achieved you can say I'll walk for 10 minutes and I'll sing a song and I'll worship so it's very clear it's clear it's concise and it's singular so that you you are able to know when you have been able to accomplish that goal so that's another uh thing to consider that our goals need to be clear concise and singular the more smarter your goals the more uh it's easy it becomes easier to present them to God and the more the miracle that's going to happen in your life clear concise and singular goals then also number four that time they need to have a time limit on your on your part you know don't say you know someday I'm going to um you know may do a walk or someday I'm going to start doing this or you know it will never happen so you need to be able to set very clear timelines say this week start it from tomorrow I'll wake up at 5 a.m and I'll do one two three four five so there must be a time limit on your part otherwise it will never be able to it will never be able to happen brethren this is powerful if you can give God goals and you are serious about them and you write them well peaceably and pursue them daily goals weekly goals monthly goals you're going to see your life continue turn around and you're going to be able to vibrate at a very very different very different level so today's exercise uh it's you know just playing around with goals right three goals you can you you can accomplish and control in the next three months the next three years and one which is free of any time goals that you can accomplish and you can control don't put things that you have got no control uh you have got no control over if you can't control you can't get it done if you cannot control it so it must be a goal that's within your power that's within your control and then it shall be well uh with you and then once you have that goal you now take it to the Lord Jesus Christ with prayer and with thanksgiving and present it to him and then see what's going to happen.

Ministry Planning And Final Charge

SPEAKER_01 24:46

Brethren many times as Christians we have not taken this seriously apart from some new year resolutions which you think about them in December and you are crossing the new here by the first week of Jan second week of Jan you've even forgotten what they are when you leave when you begin to be someone that writes goals that puts in writing goals and you actually go through them on a daily basis you live a very very powerful life. We're going to be able to do that we're going to be goal-oriented ministries goal-oriented brothers and sisters you will understand why as a ministry we run a calendar a one year calendar because if we don't have that one calendar I can assure you we'll not be able to do missions we run a calendar is released every we work on it around November we release it in December during our annual conference detailing exactly what we are going to do the year to come so you can't come to us now and invite us for a mission we'll tell you no sorry we are working on now the program for 2027 is what we are working on now. But if you're not in the program for 2027 that means 2028 because we want to make sure that we have goals we have a plan it's written and documented we know we are going to be here on this date on this date and we stick to it and it's a very likelihood that you know God will bless us. So that is what I wanted us to cover today goal setting I think it's one of the I would say one of the most most important lessons in this study challenge and I encourage you don't lose from the simplicity so simple yet it's a very profound thing because like the farmer who has to put his seed on the ground to plant his crop so are we we need to give God something we need to participate we need to bring something to him and setting goals is one of those very very powerful principles that we need to have so wonderful brethren it's great um you know having you here allow us to reach there so I'll hand it over to our sister Joyce to lead us in uh in in in prayer and then I'll um you know um as uh I'm gonna request our sister Mary Mumbe to wrap it up at the end uh in you know wrap it up for us at the end but this is one of the most most important things that you can dismiss because of its simplicity you have to have goals if you don't give God something to work with he'll be sitting here waiting on you and we want to make sure that doesn't happen to us the power of setting goals in this day 27 of our 30 day challenge God bless you so much thanks for being here
