Welcome to NECF sermons. Each message here is
-
designed to uplift and strengthen you in your
-
walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until
-
the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive
-
right in. You see, the reason why we do the things
-
we do When it comes to believers meeting we said
-
it last week, but we're going to talk about it
-
much more this morning for every manifestation
-
you see What it does to your life as a believer
-
is that it deepens your conviction regarding
-
Jesus You know what I just said for every supernatural
-
manifestation you see What it does to you as
-
a believer is that this it does what it deepens
-
your what? conviction, right, about the power
-
of the Holy Ghost at work in your life. So what
-
am I saying in essence? I'm saying that desire
-
to see more manifestation. Hallelujah. Do you
-
know what I just said now? Desire to see what?
-
Desire to see what? Desire to see what? Yes,
-
desire to see more manifestation. Don't ever
-
live a casual life, a normal life. Work in it.
-
See it. Expect it. Be zealous about it. Convert
-
it. Convert it. Convert it. Convert it. Let there
-
be miracles. Let there be signs. Let there be
-
wonders. Following with you in your house, in
-
your family, to your friends, to your extended
-
family, in Africa, in Asia, any part of the world.
-
Desire to see more, more, more, more, more of
-
the power of the Holy Ghost. You see when you
-
don't desire to see the things of the Holy Ghost
-
It will not be long you will start doubting that
-
the Holy Ghost dwells in you Hallelujah You will
-
start what? doubting The fact that it's not working
-
you are not desiring it does not mean that it's
-
not available Hallelujah The fact that you are
-
not desiring to see the workings of the Holy
-
Ghost, it does not mean that it's not what? It's
-
not at work. It's not available. No, it's there.
-
Let's do something very fast. I may not necessarily
-
finish because what we are doing today is much
-
more practical. Hallelujah. And because it's
-
much more practical, it will require every one
-
of us to be able to sustain a level of prayer.
-
then we see those things happen amen often what
-
we do is that when we gather we just come and
-
then pray just for five minutes and then go our
-
way hallelujah but you see today what we're gonna
-
do we're gonna hold a matter and we will pray
-
about it until there's a note of peace in our
-
hearts you know what I said until there's a note
-
of what peace in our hearts It's like someone
-
that has been expecting an alert. Have you ever
-
called your father to send you tuition fees?
-
And you know that tomorrow is the end of the
-
day for registration. You keep waiting. You keep
-
waiting. You keep waiting. You keep waiting.
-
Any message that comes in, you want to check
-
your phone. The next thing is tell sin. The next
-
thing is tell sin. Telling you that you are under
-
control deficit. The next thing you tell sin.
-
At the main time or at the end of it, then suddenly,
-
and a lot comes and you see zimbabwe bank of
-
international money transfer something something
-
something you know what happens to you you just
-
jump with shout you get to that international
-
office and tell them this is the receipt can
-
you activate me now you know the day i came out
-
of international office i went i almost fought
-
with the woman i'll not call her name And she
-
said, it does not matter whether I am the vice
-
HOD. What I am doing in the faculty is different
-
from what I am doing as a student. I must pay
-
them their 4 ,000 euros. I said, no, remove it
-
from my salary. She said, no. I said, okay, let's
-
do it this way. Can you clear it? Let me work
-
for you people for maybe three years. Let me
-
say something that just came to my heart. Never
-
negotiate God's plans for your life with your
-
plans. Hallelujah. Do you know what I just said?
-
Never negotiate God's plans, right? With what?
-
For your life with your plans. I was there trying
-
to time my life while God has gone ahead of me.
-
Do you know we started dragging, she started
-
getting angry. I said, okay, no problem. I will
-
get you your money. I came down from the door.
-
I called my mama, my head of department. I did
-
not tell her anything. She didn't know I was
-
there. She just said, how are you fine? How are
-
you doing? What are these international office
-
saying? I said, I must pay the 4 ,000 euros.
-
Mind you, before I went up, there was a brother
-
that was asking me, a pastor. So he did not get
-
this 4 ,000. What will happen now? I said, don't
-
worry. God told me that he will bring it. Mind
-
you, as I'm holding on to God's words, Dad wants
-
to click into my heart. Yeah, because I know
-
in the whole of Cyprus who will give me four
-
thousand euros I Came down. She calls me I said
-
custom. Don't worry. We will go to the bank now
-
and I'll get the money and I'll give you About
-
the whole atmosphere but so because there might
-
be a change 4000 euros, not from Africa, not
-
from USA, not from anywhere, but in Cyprus. You
-
see, when God gives you a word, let me say it
-
now, extreme, be willing to die for the word
-
and he will show up for it. Do you know what
-
I said? When God gives you a word, be willing
-
to die for it, stand with it, he will show up
-
for it. Why did I bring us this route? I brought
-
us this route because when we discuss power gifts,
-
there are manifestations that are evident. There
-
are manifestations that are tangible. There are
-
manifestations that carry something, a message
-
to tell you that God is here. So we will pray.
-
We will take some 25 minutes. We will pray. prayer.
-
There's a sister. We say we're going to pray
-
for your mom. Where is she? Yes. God bless you.
-
And then there's a brother too that came on Wednesday.

We say we're going to pray for his dad. I saw
-
the brother somewhere. God bless you. And then
-
a couple of people. I saw somebody this morning.
-
The right feet. Your leg. Has an issue has been
-
paining you. I don't know whether you're the
-

-

-
atmosphere we're going to pray it sustain it
-
until we get a note of peace in our hearts hallelujah
-
and we will know it has arrived praise god So
-
believers meeting, let's write this down. The
-
role of the believer in the things of the spirit,
-
the role of the believer in the things of the
-
spirit, the role of the believer in the things
-
of the spirit, for things to be done. The role
-
of the believer in the things of the spirit for
-
things to be done The role of the believer in
-
the things of the spirit for us for things to
-
be done. Hallelujah If you remember the second
-
thing we said we said the Holy Ghost demonstrates
-
himself in power Which means that things are
-
going to be done The Holy Ghost demonstrates
-
himself in what? In power, which means that things
-
are going to be what? Are going to be done. Give
-
us James, James chapter 5. However, it's not
James 5 chapter mention
-
a scripture I'm supposed to start. I don't know
-
why I'm going there. There's a reason. James
-
chapter 5 verse 16. Amplified version. He said
-
the Holy Ghost demonstrates himself in what?
-
In power. How does he demonstrate himself? Can
-
somebody help me? He demonstrates himself in
-
power. How does he do that? Through us. God bless
-
you. So the Holy Ghost demonstrates himself in
-
power through us, through me. For things to be
-
what? To be done. Hallelujah. James chapter five.
-
Everybody, one, two, go. Can we do it together?
-
Wait, reduce it. Let me hear our voices all.
-
One, two, go. Your false steps, your offenses,
-
and pray for that you may be healed and, yes,
-
all together, let's echo it. Can accomplish.
-
Can accomplish. Yes, let's go again. When pulled
-
into and made by who? it is what and can have
-
tremendous power of the Holy Ghost the power
-
of the Holy Ghost is made effective through me
-
this morning as I pray hallelujah glory to God
-
is made effective is made effective so when we
-
say the power gifts we mean healings You can
-
write this down as a reminder. The power of gifts,
-
when we say things need to be done, we mean the
-
gift of healing, gift of healing, walking of
-
miracles, walking of miracles, and then the gift
-
of faith. The gift of faith. Are we there? So
-
when we say signs and wonders, all the power
-
gifts we put them under what? Signs and what?
-
And wonders. Please write this thing down. Pastor
-
Emma taught us this. All the power gifts we classify
-
them as what? Gifts for signs and what? And wonders.
-
All the gifts are for signs and wonders. Hallelujah.
-
Praise God. But there's a reason why we are saying
-
this now. When we say a sign, a sign means an
-
action that conveys a message. A sign means what?
-
An action that conveys what? A message. Hallelujah.
-
I'm still young in marriage. We are still building
-
our sign language with my wife. You know? For
-
somebody like our daddy, mommy. They already
-
have a sign, they understand. Pastor Victor is
-
a little bit ahead of us. He has built some signs.
-
But you see, mommy that has spent 40 years and
-
counting, signs are already everywhere. Amen?
-
We, till now, if you do like this, I'm like,
-
what is like this? We're still building the signs.
-
Amen? What did you do? I say what's wrong with
-
this one? She's conveying when we now reach home.
-
She'll say ah tell you do I need to come and
-
tell you yes. You see we have passed one level.
-
Time will come now she will not say the sign.
-
She'll just think it and I'll know it. I'm telling
-
you I've seen it work. Praise God. These are
-
what? Actions that conveys what? Message. Whereas
-
wonders, wonders are expressions of amazement
-
caused by something remarkable. Wonders are expressions
-
of what? Amazement caused by what? Yes, something
-
remarkable that has happened. Hallelujah. So
-
when we say signs and wonders we mean certain
-
actions are happening by the power of the Holy
-
Ghost and we go wow This must be the Holy Ghost
-
Because nothing natural can make this thing happen.
-
Hallelujah. Glory to God. Acts chapter 6 verse
-
8 now Ask chapter 6 verse 8. Ask chapter 6 verse
-

-

-
whatever reason, that's the instruction I'm getting.

-

-
wonders and miracles. Okay, let's do it this
-
way. And Custin, full of faith and power, is
-

-

-
how power gives flow. I am doing great wonders
-

-
let's make it the way we read the other place

-
custom that believes. In Jesus' name, I cast
-
out devils. I speak with new tongues. I take
-
up serpents. And I drink deadly things. And they

sick what? Recover. Hallelujah. Can we read that
-
that way? Can we personalize it? Don't worry

manifest in my life today. They are manifest
-
in my life this morning. I lay hands on the sick.
-
The sick recover. I lay hands on the blind. The
-
blind see. I lay hands on the deaf. That ear
-
opens. This morning the seats are walking in
-
the name of Jesus in that which Christ has accomplished
-
at resurrection. Add these scriptures to it.
-
Matthew 11 verse 4. Add Matthew 11 verse 4. I
-
think it would do us good to read it. Matthew
-
11 verse 4. See what Jesus will say. Thank God
-
for the pastors that they created a material
-
for us and we treated this in the cell meeting.
-
Hallelujah. You know that day I saw it and I'm

-
and the lame and the lepers are, and the dev,
-
the dead are, and the poor have not, said this
-

-
this morning in this atmosphere, in the name
-
of Jesus, the blind see, the deaf hear, the dead
-
are raised back to life, and the gospel is preached
-
through me by the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. So
-
what pastor in man taught us we have gift of
-
faith walking of miracles and we have what? healings
-
amen hallelujah So let's just have just write
-
this in the next five ten minutes I'm done with
-
this and then we are going to pray and then practice
-
So by by 15 12 .15 I'm done. We have all these
-
messages. Yesterday I was listening to all Pastor
-
Eman's messages. Came back home late but I still
-
had to do it even this morning. Amen. Yes, so
-
they are all there. So we are not going to preach
-
the message again. They are already there. Praise
-
God. What we are here to do is practicals. So
-
whatever we are doing here, you know, you know
-
if you do home economies in secondary school
-
there is practicals. I didn't do it, but I had
-
juniors that did it. So because they like me,
-
even though they don't like me that I flock them,
-
but they like me because they can approach me
-
and talk to me. So when they do home economies,
-
they do some small jobs here and there. And often
-
they will bring us as seniors to what? To eat,
-
to test. Amen. So the main course of this meeting,
-
go and listen to them. Pastor Imams taught them.
-
Hallelujah. The media team are going to share
-
all the links. Preparing us for catatismos. Hallelujah.
-
You know from next week in all our cell meetings
-
there will be practical demonstration of the
-
things of the Holy Ghost. In all our services
-
that's what we'll be doing till catatismos. Praise
-
God. Amen. So all we are doing here is home economies.
-
Amen. We are testing and then we are doing that
-
this thing is working. I think the magic is good.
-
The gift of faith can be understood as the ability
-
resident in the believer to minister and receive
-
a miracle. The gift of faith is the ability in
-
the what? Of the Holy Ghost in the believer to
-
do what? To give and receive a what? A miracle.
-
So often I will pray for my brother, right? Without
-
even him knowing, and yet I will do what? i will
-
receive a miracle a knowing for what for him
-
do you know that ma it does not have to be in
-
an atmosphere like this you can visit your house
-
and we are just talking and discussing and you
-
will receive a miracle for me hallelujah jesus
-
never most of jesus's miracles were not in crusades
-
He was just moving and then the centurion man
-
said master, please please my servant is at home
-
Please I beg you. I know I'm the man of authority.
-
You don't need to come to my house. I Have servant
-
so I know what power is But all I want to because
-
I know do what please speak and send forth your
-
word I know my servant will do what will get
-
healed He came and received a miracle for his
-
servant that never knew that that event was happening
-
What am I saying by the Spirit of God that in
-
this atmosphere you can receive a miracle now
-
for somebody in Africa You can receive a healing
-
now for somebody in Asia. You can receive a healing
-
now a miracle for somebody Why? Because the ability
-
of the Holy Ghost is resident in us now here.
-
Praise God. That's what gift of faith is. So
-
let's go listen to what Pastor Eman has taught
-
us on that. Matthew 8. I'll just read the scriptures.
-
I don't need to go back to it. Matthew 8 verse
-
8 to 13. Matthew 8 verse 8 to 13. Matthew 17
-
verse 14 to 19. Acts chapter 3 verse 1 to 11.
-
Good. So often we see the gift of faith to give
-
and receive miracles works with what? Works with
-
healing. Hallelujah. And then works with walking
-
of miracles. I just say something profound now.
-
The gift of faith often will work what? With
-
the gift of healing and working of what? Miracles.
-
Faith to heal. Faith to work miracles. The prophet
-
came to the woman. He said what do you have in
-
your house? Say we have nothing except something
-
small. You see what we are going to do is we
-
can do something with it. For the believer, let
-
me say this, for the believer, we are not moved
-
by sight, but by what? By faith. Those things
-
that look or seemingly look as they are not working
-
in the natural, don't determine how a believer
-
sees. things might not be working right and for
-
the believer all he sees is a world of possibilities
-
go guard our vessels not a few because something
-
supernatural is happening now what do you have
-
is a master we just have few loaves of bread
-
and few fishes We don't have enough money to
-
feed 5 ,000 men aside women and children. Silver
-
and gold we do not have. But what we have we
-
give unto thee. We have something and that thing
-
is called the power of the Holy Ghost. He dwells
-
in our inside. He creates supernatural things
-
happen beyond the natural. You see? He moves
-
from Cyprus He moves from Cyprus to my sister's
-
mom That part of the Holy Ghost from here. He
-
moves from here, right? And then whatever condition
-
mark chapter 16 said these signs shall what?
Mark 16 chapter mention
-
Shall follow shall follow us that what? That
-
belief so what God had done is that he has given
-
us the authority hallelujah The authority that
-
Jesus gave, he gave it to the church. Hallelujah.
-
That the signs and wonders are to be written
-
by who? By the church. Well, we now, God, that's
-
why we see all the lead cut in the scriptures
-
from the book of Acts. All through, you see what?
-
healings, healings. If I first call you to chapter
-
two, he told them my speech is not without enticing
-
words of men's wisdom. But in the spirit and
-
demonstration of what? Of power. That all through
-
the scriptures, you see a little testimonies
-
of the supernatural. Power gifts. The working
-
of miracles. Let's write this now and we pray.
-
All that we are saying, Pastor Eman taught them
-
in detail. What we are having, your notes will
-
be small, don't worry. We want to have more practicals
-
and small notes because we have more of the notes
-
now. Amen? Let's write this, working of miracles.
-
What is a miracle? A miracle is a violation of
-
natural laws. A miracle is a what? Is a violation
-
of what? Of natural laws It implies that the
-
power of God in demonstration The power it implies
-
that the power of God in demonstration Violating
-
the natural laws of nature a Miracle is a violation
-
of natural laws implying that the power of God
-
in demonstration violating the natural laws of
-
what? Of nature. You can write John chapter 2
-
verse 1 to 11. John chapter 2 verse 1 to 11.
-
John chapter 5 verse 1 to 9. John chapter 5 verse
-
1 to 9. John chapter 6 verse 1 to 13. Hallelujah.
-
5. Acts chapter 6 verse 8. Acts chapter 14 verse
-
9 to 10. Acts chapter 14 verse 9 to 10. Are we
-
there everybody? Are we there everybody? Can
-
we rise to our feet? One of the things Paul taught
-
the Corinthian Church, he taught them something
-
very powerful regarding the things of the spirit.
-
And he gave them a word and that word he told
-
them to convert endlessly. Hallelujah! To desire,
-
to desire, to be zealous. That word desire is
-
a very strong word When we say you are desiring
-
something It's an expression of emotions That
-
is not normal Amen, you can want a thing You
-
can you can really think about it that you want
-
it But you see when you desire it ah He is extreme
-
That's the word that Paul used for the Corinthian
-
Church. He said when it comes to the things of
-
the spirit, dear believer, your life must be
-
on the edge, always desiring to see the workings
-
of what? Of the spirit. So which means that there
-
should not be a day where you don't see the supernatural
-
at work in your life, whether it's in the office,
-
whether it's in your family. Can you say I desire?
-
this morning I desire by the ability of the Holy
-
Ghost to see all the expression of the power
-
I give at work in my heart at work in my hands
-
at work in my home at work in everywhere I stand
-
and even in this local church right now in the
-
name of Jesus Can we just pray everybody? Can
-
we pray? We appreciate you being here today We
-
hope you carry this worry with you throughout
-
