-
I love New Horizon family.
-
I'm so humbled and excited at the same time. But
-
before I can go deeper, thanks for your generosity. Our
-
church is right now believing God for the floor and
-
the doors and the windows. Last time I came here,
-
I was trying to raise money for the bricks, and
-
all the bricks are done, you guys.
-
Thanks, And.
-
In Uganda, one dollar makes a difference, so so thanks,
-
but please don't.
-
Give it dollar. Do more than dollar.
-
Yeah, I'm believing God for over over one hundred and
-
fifty thousand US dollars just for the flow and the
-
windows this year, and then next year buy all the
-
equipment so that when you're in your gandha you feel
-
like you're at New Horizon. It's possible. Most of the
-
things we're doing, I'm just doing copy and paste. So
-
if you come to Ganda and you see some of
-
the stuff from New Horizon, just me trying to like
-
learn from you and just steal some.
-
Ideas, you know.
-
And yeah, I want to say thanks to Pastor Doane
-
for having me back. From a preacher's point of view,
-
if you go somewhere and you preach and you're not
-
invited again, it's not a good sign. I want to
-
say thanks to him having me at his house. What
-
a beautiful house. If it's possible, I could live there
-
every year. I wand say thanks to the guys. But
-
behind the scenes, I know Pastor Danes does such a
-
great job with the food bank.
-
I saw that.
-
Yeah, do that in Uganda, but it's kind of expensive,
-
so we'll see we do it once a year, twice
-
a year. So that was really really I like your heart.
-
I want to say thanks to Frank and Angela. Angela
-
is the lady you have to treat nice.
-
Yeah.
-
See if she doesn't like him, may not be back, yes, sir,
-
And she makes me be organized.
-
Thanks Angela. Come on, everybody club for Angela.
-
And and then there's this guy called Joe. He is
-
my angel to New Horizon. I called him Uncle Joe.
-
He's him and Melani and Moses. They are fixing things
-
in your Ganda, investing mainly in the next generation. Probably
-
their fruit will manifest after thirty years. They're into a
-
lot of sewing into the next generation. So this guy
-
introduced me to Pasta Doin and Pastor Joe and he
-
he pays for my He paid for my ticket from
-
Boston to here, and from here to Austin. He feeds me,
-
him and his wife, and and Chess Chess is.
-
Here nearly married.
-
Yeah, how old are you, Chess twenty seven and you're married. Yeah,
-
it's good, it's good. I'm way older than you and
-
I'm not married, so that's not good. So but but yeah,
-
I'm gonna ask Uncle Joe please stand up this guy.
-
He's my angel.
-
Come on, people, Thanks Joe, Thanks Joe. And uh and
-
and I know Jonathan, I know Kevin, I know Phil.
-
I'm getting Yeah, I'm getting to know all these guys.
-
And and Dennis spoke in one of our prayer waves
-
at the wash Parse and he's amazing speaker. All right,
-
enough of the commercials and to pass down. When I
-
was younger, I didn't know that a pastor is also
-
a gate keeper. So having me here again it's a sign.
-
It encourages me, sir, because I know you're a wise man.
-
It's also hard, I was sharing with Pasta Doen. It's
-
hard to preach at a church that is rooted in
-
the Bible. It's easy to preach at a church where
-
they're not really into the Bible, where it's just drama
-
and acrobatics, and but if it's rooted like this church,
-
it's hard.
-
So thank you sir for having me back.
-
And to the twins and Dancy's twins, I love you, guys.
-
To all the young people in the room, make some
-
noise for the young people. I always tell the young people,
-
every young person, please stand up. Please stand up, young
-
young people, stand up standing under twenty five, under twenty five,
-
Come on, give it up for these guys. Give up
-
these guys. Can I pray for you young people? Father God,
-
These young men and women are in a stage where
-
decisions are made. Please help them to make all the
-
right decisions of their lives, especially decisions to follow and
-
keep their love for God in Jesus name. Amen. And
-
I want to tell you before you sit down, come on,
-
young people. Sorry, sorry, I live in Campalas, so I'll
-
be gone next Sunday.
-
Don't worry.
-
So I hope you know that everything done at this
-
church is done for you. And if you guys don't
-
take it on, we're wasting time. So I hope you
-
all that everything is designed so that when we can't
-
do it, you do it.
-
God be with you. You may have your seat.
-
All right, h Angela, I think now it's not as
-
tight as the first service.
-
I could be a bit African.
-
Now I had I had sounding like a preacher these days,
-
I for the last one year and three months, I
-
am done preaching. We've had a lot of summons these days.
-
I just I just want to speak from my heart.
-
You know.
-
I don't want to sound like, oh, we got a preacher.
-
I just want to sound like a brother that is
-
sharing things in my heart. And tonight on my heart
-
is what's your need right now? And I feel like
-
that's what God has laid on my heart. What is
-
your need right now now? It's not what's your need?
-
It is right now. If you don't add on the
-
right now, it doesn't make sense. And this is not me.
-
This is this is the mouth of Clay. This is
-
God using me to ask you what's your need right now?
-
In the Book of Philippians, chapter four and verses nineteen.
-
And the same God who takes care of me will
-
supply all your needs from his glorious riches which have
-
been given to us in Christ Jesus. Now, I can't
-
realize something about this verse. By the way, New Horizon,
-
I officially invite you in May when Pastor Dwayne and
-
Pastor Joe come to Uganda for the first time, You're
-
gonna visit the worship house, Laura. That says the Lord,
-
just mean the entire band. We're going to have an
-
experience at our church come made so everybody don't die.
-
You must be there and yeah, come on, I'm excited
-
about that. Okay, let's go back now.
-
Now.
-
I'm just speaking as not apprecier, just as a brother
-
sharing what God has put on my heart.
-
See this verse.
-
In Africa, we interpret it differently. When I was younger
-
and I read it very common verse my God will
-
supply all my needs. I just can't realize that it
-
depends where you are and by the time you read
-
it in which season you are. When I read it
-
about twenty years ago, I was a young boy, no dad,
-
no mom, no place to stay, start the church under tree,
-
no food, no clothes on my body. So I interpreted differently.
-
My God would supply all my needs. That means food, sure,
-
a shot on my body, probably a roof on my
-
roof on my head because I had none of that.
-
And I was telling people in the first service that
-
I know Pastor Robert car You know that guy, you
-
know pastor I even know Missionary Uh, the father who
-
left who went to be with the Lord Papa Ron.
-
I know Pastor andrew A Song, I know Pasta Steven
-
my Engine. But I know Pastor Robert Carsos. I even
-
have his number in my head because I met him
-
before I had a phone, and we used to stay
-
in a house that had lots of kids and there
-
was no food, and Pastor Robert was kind enough.
-
I could call him and like, hey, can you bring
-
us some food?
-
And he used to load food in his track and
-
bring it towards for years. Our very first couple that
-
we got that got married at the worship house, we
-
didn't have any paperwork the license to marry people, so
-
we had to ask a segur Co Worship Center, and
-
Pastor Andrews Song and Pastor Robert Carsosi used to do that.
-
And all our maybe the first.
-
Ten couples in our church, they all have the certificates
-
of segur Co Worships and and we are called the
-
worship house. But those guys, those guys are family. I
-
know Pastor Roberts number of head because I didn't have
-
a phone, I had to memorize it so I could
-
ask him for food. I can give it to you
-
in case you wanted it right now Class two, five, six, seven,
-
seven to ninety thirty fifty fifty four. I had it
-
off head. So right now Guards has supplied. I no
-
longer need the food. Okay, I need food, but it's
-
not a need anymore. God has provided food on my table,
-
clothes on my body is shown my feet, and a
-
roof on my head. So right now, what happens if
-
all that God has provided yet? The scripture is still
-
in your bible? My God will supply all my needs.
-
So what is it gonna supply? If I have the car,
-
the house? Am I talking to somebody?
-
Now?
-
I can't realize something in America. It's only in America.
-
Good to see you Albert and your wife from Nigeria?
-
How can you Granda marry Nigerian? Where did you guys meet?
-
Do it?
-
See you? Guys?
-
Listen now, I keep doing that. Like I said, I'm
-
not preaching, I'm just sharing it. I saw something in America.
-
I give this example in Africa. It didn't make any sense,
-
but you guys will get it cause you Americans?
-
Right? Are you Americans? Right.
-
So I have a friend. Her name is Mary. She's
-
in La. She calls me sign. I call her mom.
-
She's from Nigeria. And she she was like, hey, Wilson,
-
we've been invited for a dinner at a friend's house.
-
So she started cooking and preparing the meal.
-
And I'm like, what are you doing?
-
So like, we're going for dinner and we have to
-
carry some food. I'm like, in Africa, that doesn't work.
-
You invite me for dinner, everything is on you. The
-
only thing I come with is my empty stomach and
-
I eat your food through a force.
-
That's true.
-
So this this American carriage eye is good. You got
-
to save some money, right. But then I saw her
-
do something else. She hold our host for the dinner
-
and say, hey, what kind of food did I come with?
-
What do you have already? So that she does not
-
come with rice? And then everybody brought rice, and then
-
we have a rice dinner. Right.
-
So I realize when we went for the dinner, different
-
people showed up with different types of food.
-
That's cool, that's cool. You do that. In Uganda, nobody's
-
gonna show up.
-
So here we go, everybody comes with some kind of food.
-
Potatoes irish and then we make a dinner like ooh,
-
this is good. I can't realize that Jesus does the
-
same thing. Every time Jesus is coming in your house
-
or in your life, he will make a call or
-
he wants you to make a call and tell him
-
what is missing in your house, so it doesn't have
-
He doesn't show up with something that you already have.
-
In the Book of Luke, chapter nineteen and verses nine,
-
Jesus VI the guy called Zakias. And Zakias had he
-
had money. Okay, he was stealing money, but he had money.
-
He didn't have he didn't have he had a good job,
-
he had nice clothes. The guy was a tax collector.
-
He didn't have friends, but he was okay. And the
-
only thing Zakius didn't have was salvation. And when Jesus
-
comes in his house, he says, Salvation has come to
-
this home today, for this man has shown himself to
-
be a true son of God. Why because it's the
-
only thing that Zakias did not have.
-
And tonight I stand before you.
-
Before the creation of the earth, God knew that I
-
would be standing here. God connected me to to He
-
connected me to Joe all the way, get me favor
-
before the eyes of Passergaen. Here I am standing before
-
you because God knew that I would be the preacher
-
today to tell you that God is about to give
-
you something that is missing in that house. So if
-
Zakius reads Philippian's for nineteen, my God will supply all
-
my needs. He has a ky, has clothes, he as
-
everything as a job. The only thing that he doesn't
-
have is salvation. And Jesus made sure he leaves the
-
thing that Zaki has needed.
-
And tonight, as.
-
I preach, I'm gonna save a few minutes before I
-
close this summon, so you think about something that is
-
missing in that house, and you're gonna pray about it.
-
Ours remind people at the worship house back home. I
-
tell him, prayer was not started by your pastor or
-
any wise man. Prayer was started by God creative heaven
-
on earth. The one whose breath is in your lungs
-
is the one that says pray to me unceasingly. There
-
is a guy in the Bible that never prayed at all.
-
The Bible is even the Bible is surprised about it.
-
His name is Usa. Everybody say answer. Come on, be nice,
-
say answer. Scripture says that in the Book of Second
-
Chronicles sixteen twelve sixteen one two see in the thirty
-
ninth year of his reign, King Asa developed a serious
-
disease in his foot. He became so severe a disease,
-
yet he did not seek the Lord's help, but he
-
turned only to physicians. In other words, the Bible is
-
like really. In otherwords, sometimes God lets us go through
-
situations He's expecting us to call on him. I can
-
preach about this guy for the rest of this service,
-
but I would.
-
Drop him here.
-
But the Bible is wondering, how can you be in
-
a position to ask God for help and you say no.
-
Scripture is wondering about King Assa. Why didn't he pray?
-
He would rather go to physicians than to seek God. Tonight,
-
whatever you have as.
-
A need, my God supply. Let me tell you something.
-
The only thing that Zakias's money could not.
-
Buy was salvation for his soul, and that's what Jesus
-
left in his house. Let's talk about the things that
-
money cannot buy, and only God can supply number one courage, courage.
-
So if you read My God, who supply all my
-
needs and you have a house, a car, then you'll
-
be like, ah, those things.
-
That's for me. It's for you.
-
Because sometimes God says to Peter, hey, you want to
-
walk on water. Because Peter was like, hey, if you're Jesus,
-
call me to walk on water. And Jesus goes, come
-
on in, let's do this. It takes courage to make
-
the first step of the boat. Some of you you
-
need right now may not be a cow house, but
-
you need courage, courage to make some decisions. I love
-
the words of Joshua. Joshah said for me and my house,
-
we will serve the Lord. Did you know that Joshah
-
said that without asking the family members. What if my
-
daughter doesn't want to serve the Lord, what if my
-
son doesn't want to serve the Lord? You're trusstood in
-
his position as a dad and he said, as long
-
as you are under my roof, we will go to church.
-
It takes courage to tell your daughter and your son
-
in this house we serve the Lord. It takes courage.
-
It takes courage to leave that boat. I was telling
-
people in the first service. Did you know the good
-
news is Peter walked on water. The bad news is
-
there were other disciples on the board. They could have
-
worked on water, but the courageous one took the first step.
-
Sometimes God has laid a red carpet for you to
-
stop drinking, stop alcohol, stop phnication, stop casting, stop whatever habit.
-
But you need to take the first step. Talk about David.
-
It takes courage to pick two rocks and throw out Goliath.
-
It takes courage to find a person with cancer and
-
lay hand on his should and say, my God, can
-
heal you. It takes courage. It takes courage to say
-
yes to a man and say hey, I'll marry you. Otherwise,
-
without that courage, you're gonna stand your father's house forever.
-
It takes courage to leave.
-
Your father's house and set your own family. It takes courage.
-
So when we say my God will supply all my needs,
-
sometimes it's not just about clothes. Sometimes it's about courage.
-
Things you will never buy in a store, and courageously.
-
I love Joshua one and verses nine. The Book of Joshu,
-
chapter one and verses nine. The Bible says, just one nine.
-
This is my command. Be strong and courageous. Don't be
-
afraid or discourage for the Lord, your God is with
-
you wherever you go. Come on, somebody give Jesus praise.
-
Come on, I'm gonna keep going here. Is that okay?
-
Church? Come on? Somebody say amen.
-
Now it depends where you are when you read Philippians nineteen.
-
But I've been thinking about Ruth.
-
What comes to Ruth after she had just lost her
-
husband as a young girl. If Ruth read Philippians for nineteen,
-
she's a young widow right now. Ruth had a friend
-
called the Oprah. She lost faith and went back.
-
But Ruth said, your God would be my guide to Naomi,
-
and your people be my people.
-
And look, Naomi said. Naomi said, hey, why are you
-
following me? I am an old woman. My sons you
-
get married to their dad. Will I have other signs
-
in my womb and they will grow and marry you? Again,
-
still following me? And Ruth is like, I'm not following
-
you who says that all my husband's come from your womb?
-
My husband may come from the Lord, not your womb.
-
They will come from your God. It takes marriage. It's
-
Ruth needed hope. Between the day you bury your husband
-
to the day you meet BoA's faith so my God
-
whould supply the hope you need. My God who supplied
-
the healing you need. I remember any COVID I got COVID.
-
I got COVID, and COVID was COVID. And I remember
-
after COVID, I couldn't breathe.
-
I couldn't breathe well. And then I kept meeting different.
-
Doctors and different doctors, and I remember it was just
-
one service like that, and I I had an appointment
-
to see the doctor on Monday, and I had saved
-
all the money, and the worship team was worshiping, and
-
I said, God, right now, please restore my health, Please
-
restore me.
-
And right there I thought him touch me. But in
-
the morning, in the morning, I was not breathing well.
-
But I refused to go to the doctor. I said,
-
I'm gonna give it three days. And after three days,
-
I was breathing normally. My God who supplied, come on, somebody, hallelujah.
-
How about Solomon. Solomon needed wisdom. So if Solomon.
-
Read the Book of Philippians for nineteen my God would
-
supply all your needs. All he needed was wisdom to
-
lead these God's people. And the Lord comes to Solomon
-
and says, hey, what do you need?
-
The Lord was please the Solomon I had asked.
-
For wisdom, and he said, okay, I'll even give you
-
whatever you didn't ask for, because my God can do
-
exceedingly abandonedly of all you can ask for.
-
Shaking down and running, running over. But I like this
-
situation where two friends had a fight.
-
I think they were good best friends. They go they
-
all got pregnant at the same time. I think there
-
were roommates. I don't know how they did it, but
-
they were all pregnant, and they all had the same
-
They had babies at the same time. And then one
-
goes to bed and sleeps over the baby and kills
-
the baby you know that story, and tiptoes at night
-
and exchanges the baby, and then gives the dead baby
-
to this one and keeps the living one. And then
-
the fight starts. The living baby's mine.
-
The dead one is yours, The dead one is yours.
-
The foight was. The fight went so on all the
-
way through the ranks to the king, and then CNN
-
and BBC and Sky News and Fox News.
-
Everybody kept following the fight. Oh the way to the
-
king his chambers. And the king gets on his seat,
-
and he says, okay, what we have here today, and
-
the lady started. The woman who was a thief was
-
so good an actor. She put up a shawl, and
-
the king wasn't sure who is really the child's owner.
-
And the king says, okay, somebody, get me a sword,
-
Give me a sword, give me a sword. Cut the
-
living baby into two, Let each woman have half. And
-
the woman who was the thief says, yeah, my king,
-
I love you, my king, Long live my king. Cut
-
the baby into two, Let everybody share half and a half.
-
But the mother of the baby said no, no, no,
-
my king. Let the baby leave and give it to her.
-
And the king said, we know the mother, we know
-
the mother, and then arrest that woman.
-
And the woman was arrested. But that's not my point.
-
My point is the wisdom of this ruling went a
-
lover ju dair Jerusalem. In every village and city of Israel,
-
it was known that the wisdom of God is with
-
King Solomon. And that teaches me something that has pastors
-
father's parents. We need to pray that God will supply
-
divine wisdom. It means you can make one good decision
-
and it goes all over you. Dare all over him
-
or all over Jerusalem, and everybody gets to.
-
Know that our daughter got married to.
-
A wise man. Oh, the wisdom can go all over that. Hey,
-
we have our son who is making the right choices.
-
Let people hear all over this city that at no
-
horizon people making good decisions. And I can't realize that
-
the reverse is true. Just one stupid decision can go
-
all over For example, Cain killed Abel.
-
Up to now we read about it.
-
One stupid decision can make can go all over the world.
-
I am standing here today, and if I made a
-
scandle somewhere in Africa, it will come to passaduena and
-
I will never be back.
-
Also help me God, So help you God. So we
-
make the right choices and let the news go all
-
over that God Is wisdom is with you. I promise you.
-
If I was preaching in Uganda, they would clap powerfully.
-
They would be like, come on people. So I want
-
to challenge you by asking you what is your need
-
right now?
-
Moses? Oh, how Moses needed a banning.
-
Bush after forty years of a mistake.
-
He didn't know what to do.
-
We covered that in the Man is Meeting at George.
-
But I want to pick three more and then I'll
-
be done in a few Jonah. If Jonah read Philippians
-
four ninety, my God will supply all your needs.
-
According to.
-
Jona, will be like, Okay, right now, I'm in a
-
belly of a fish.
-
I don't think my need is a shoe, or a
-
haircut or a house. Jonah needed to know his way
-
back to God. And in the Book of.
-
Jonah, chapter two, verses ten, Jonah says it. He says
-
that I talk to God, and God spoke to the fish.
-
I don't know.
-
Pastor, if I have a minute, how many more minutes?
-
Do a five? Yeah?
-
Treat Angela, well, you've be invited. Simple rules. Look at Jonah,
-
everybody said Jonah. All he needed was to know his
-
way back to God. And if Jonah read it in
-
the Belly of the Fish that hey, my God will
-
supply all my needs according to his riches, that simply
-
means that, hey, my God will show me a way
-
out of this belly. What is your need right now?
-
How about the thief on the cross? Imagine you are
-
dying on the cross and Pastor Doane comes and says, hey,
-
if yeah, my God, who supply all your niece.
-
I am dying on the cross.
-
The only thing he needed was mercy, and he said, Lord,
-
remember me when you reach your kingdom. And I like
-
it that Jesus didn't say.
-
Hey, will you just stop talking? We are all dying.
-
Jesus said, today, right there, right now, God who supplied
-
the mercy you need? So what is your need? Right now?
-
Our end with two testimonies really quickly. There is a member.
-
There's a lady in our church. She found outselves HIV
-
and she had little kids, and by then it was
-
a death sentence.
-
And I like her faith.
-
She said, Lord, I don't want to die until my
-
kids make it university.
-
She still has HIV.
-
Twenty years later, she's still alive and her kids made
-
it to university.
-
And one of her kids, one.
-
Of our children, Codyhroeder, made it miraculously to have at
-
university in Boston. She still has HIV. This is a
-
true story. This is how I see how God fights.
-
Sometimes he would level the mountain by healing you from HIV,
-
or he will give you the strength and you climb
-
the mountain to the top so you can sell that
-
Jesus' death, where is your power? I know of another
-
thing that happened to me a few years ago. I
-
was brand new in the Lord and someone came to me.
-
I had preached someone about you raise the dead. Don't
-
preach some things preacher that will come back to you.
-
This guy walked to me. This lady came to me
-
and said, hey, uson, come with me like you preached
-
on Sunday.
-
It was Monday morning.
-
My sister is dying, and she took me the place
-
where she was almost dead.
-
I prayed, I laid down on.
-
Her and said down where she was, and I said, hey,
-
Jesus can raise you. And everybody around me didn't have faith.
-
And that gives me my last point Luke seventeen five.
-
The disciples needed one thing. Please give it to me.
-
Luke seventeen five. Can you read it together? Everybody want
-
to go to church.
-
One to go.
-
The apostle said to the Lord, show us how to increase.
-
Please stand upon your feet.
-
I saw the Lord and he heard, and he answered,
-
and he heard and he has said, and he heard
-
and he answered. That's why I trust him.
-
I felt late to leave just a few a minute
-
to If you need prayer, please come forward.
-
But right now, everybody can.
-
I ask you please lift up those hands and tell
-
God what's your need right now? Tell God? What's your
-
need right now? You need some version like Sakis. You
-
need mercy like the thief on the cross. Do you
-
need the burning bush like morses. You need to know
-
your way out of the baiby like Jonah. Or you
-
need a whole like Ruth. Or you need to increase
-
your faith like the apostles.
-
What's your need right now?
-
Even if it's healing in your body, My God would supply.
-
Even if you need a house, you need a place
-
to stay, you need a partner, You need wisdom like Solomon.
-
You don't know what next from here. You don't know
-
what to do from here, You don't know where to go.
-
You don't know what to do for your wife or
-
your children. Or you need a child in your family.
-
Hannah got a child that was Hannah. He said, God,
-
if you give me a child, I'll giv him back
-
to you. There is no need that God cannot answer.
-
There's no mountain he cannot level. Or you need wisdom
-
and how to raise your family, or you don't know
-
you need money, you need cash, you need you need
-
a way.
-
God will make away.
-
So trust him tonight and give him all your home.
-
And if you are sick, please touch you. Are you
-
feel pain, if you can, and leave one hand up.
-
Father God, I release healing before these your people, and
-
I pray that God in Heaven will each and everybody
-
like esa Cale. I speak to every bone and I
-
command it to get flaces and get life again.
-
I pray that God in Heaven will turn your water
-
into wine. The guy on the party.
-
Or he needed he was about to be embarrassed because
-
his party was gonna end with with with with the
-
bad wine. And God turned water into wine. And the
-
girl said, hey, hey, normlone.
-
Other parties, people serve the best wine first, and when
-
everybody's drunk, they serve the best. And I'm the worst,
-
the bad one.
-
But how about you, you serve the best one last.
-
I'm here to tell you, my brother, if you are
-
in your sixties, you are in your seventies, you're in
-
your eighties, and you feel like it's all over with you,
-
God has a habit of serving the best one last.
-
And I want you to believe God that your party
-
will not end. And if you hear you feel like
-
you're about to be embarrassed. My God is about to
-
show up on your party, and it can make your
-
party have a good ending. He has a way of
-
writing good endings. He's the best storyteller and writer. Tonight,
-
Father God, will lift up our hands and we worship
-
you and we celebrate you tonight because you will supply
-
all our needs. You need courage like Peter to walk
-
on water. Whatever you need, my God will supply
