  1. Praise the Lord.

  2. God is good and all the time, amen.

  3. I believe that God is about to do something in this place, and God is a great God.

  4. He is an awesome God.

  5. He does great and mighty things.

  6. Sometimes we think we have had enough of God, just to realize that there is too much about him.

  7. This is a special year because the year of uplifted open door, and every day I'm experiencing God opening his door in a very special way.

  8. I believe that God will do something that you have never experienced before.

  9. God is going to show you who he is, his power and his authority.

  10. The Bible says Jacob finds God, and they were wrestling with him.

  11. Through the night he was trying to discover who God was, and the whole night he could not discover who God is.

  12. Until the following morning he says Bless me and change my name and tells him from this day, you should be called Israel.

  13. God is about to change the way you see him.

  14. Our God never changes, but his ways are so different.

  15. Changes, but his ways are so different.

  16. When you feel like you have known God enough, he surprises you by how he does things.

  17. The same God who sends rain and crops grows.

  18. He sends rains and finishes the whole world.

  19. What a beautiful God he is.

  20. I want us to take time just to close our eyes and take moment and tell God I want to experience you like I've never experienced before.

  21. I want you to touch me like you have never touched me before.

  22. I want you to show me yourself, make a difference in my life, god.

  23. May this night be a night that I will see your greatness, your mighty arts than I've ever seen you before.

  24. The Bible asks who is this that gives God counsel, a God who is full of wisdom.

  25. This is the same God that is here today.

  26. I don't know how you came tonight, but I want you to open your mouth one more time and pray and tell God touch me, bless me, show me yourself.

  27. Let me experience you that if I go out of this place, I shall be called Israel because you have touched me like you have never touched me before.

  28. My struggles I have seen you work them out, but tonight touch them, sort me out.

  29. Almighty God, heavenly Father, that's our prayer tonight that we shall have a new experience of who you are A God who changes, not he was and is and will be until the end of time, but the way he does these things is different.

  30. Oh God, almighty.

  31. Oh God almighty.

  32. The children of Israel.

  33. Oh God, almighty, oh God, almighty, the children of Israel.

  34. They saw you, oh God, for nine times.

  35. There were different plagues.

  36. You showed your majesty and your power and authority.

  37. Tonight I pray in this meeting that, god, somebody is going to experience your mighty acts, somebody is going to experience you.

  38. My God, they are going to experience you.

  39. My God, they're going to experience you.

  40. They're going to speak to them, you're going to identify with them.

  41. Oh God, tonight they're going to hear you.

  42. Oh God, they're going to experience you.

  43. The Bible says Elisha was in this place.

  44. Elisha was in this place and he had God.

  45. And God said stand in front of the cave and a big weed brew.

  46. And God said stand in front of the cave and a big weed brew.

  47. And God was not in that place.

  48. He made there be so much weed and sound came, but God was not still there.

  49. But God came that day in a small, soft, tender voice.

  50. And I pray tonight that that will be you.

  51. Maybe you're so used to living in this meeting without having experienced God.

  52. Tell God I'm not coming out of this place Lest I experience you like.

  53. I've never experienced you before.

  54. Let this day, god, be a night when I have an encounter with God.

  55. Oh, the experience of God is different.

  56. The experience of God is different.

  57. The experience of God, oh, it makes men go and stand in front of another man and say this man was with God.

  58. This is what the disciples experienced.

  59. The Bible says.

  60. They looked at them and they said they were not schooled yet.

  61. They spoke like men who are full of wisdom because of the experience they had with God.

  62. And that is the experience I want us to have tonight An experience, an experience, an experience with God, holy Spirit, of living God.

  63. I welcome you into this place, holy Spirit.

  64. I pray that tonight, somebody who has never spoken in tongues will speak in tongues, because that gift is going to be raised in our midst.

  65. I pray that the power of the Holy Spirit shall fill this place and touch somebody, somebody who came with a weight.

  66. They are going to go out of this place, oh God, and that weight, they shall never carry it again.

  67. Somebody will get out of this place, oh God, feeling energized, grace, to know that he is not a victim but he is a victor.

  68. That God, you bless them.

  69. I pray that this day, somebody will walk out of this church, oh God, knowing that for sure.

  70. They experienced God.

  71. They will have a touch to you and you will have touched them, oh God.

  72. They will feel the warm embrace of God.

  73. Somebody will go out of this place with an answer to their issue.

  74. Somebody will get out of this place experiencing that this door has been opened.

  75. Somebody will enter because an access has been granted.

  76. Rikishakarabositai, father, oh, holy Spirit, come and sweep over this place, come and minister to your children as they sit in this congregation tonight.

  77. My God, maybe that was not the expectation, but you will surprise them by your power, because the appealing power of God is coming upon you, the grace of God is coming upon you.

  78. Some of you will walk out of this with a gift, the gift of God, the gift of the Holy Spirit.

  79. My Lord, deposit something in somebody's spirit, somebody who is having a spirit, oh God, somebody who has been feeling so condemned they have lived in sin.

  80. This week, god is saying he has forgiven you and he wants to touch you so that when you walk out of this place, you will see no more His power is in this place.

  81. You will see no more.

  82. His power is in this place.

  83. Holy spirit, come.

  84. This is a beautiful Wednesday, when we know that the power of God makes the difference.

  85. The reason why we didn't go home straight is because God had an appointment with us.

  86. God had ordained this day to be your day so that you may know his power and his authority and his grace.

  87. Holy Spirit, I thank you.

  88. Oh, you have started with a good way of showing us your new way.

  89. Oh God, thank you, thank you, holy Spirit, thank you, jesus, thank you, holy Ghost, thank you, fire of the Holy Spirit that is in this place, sweeping about this place.

  90. Holy Spirit, thank you for your ministering.

  91. And as we continue, lord, to hear your word, even this night, I release myself for a new experience in you.

  92. Teach me something new that I teach your children, oh, touch me that I touch your children with your word.

  93. Use my lips that you have never used before.

  94. I want to have a new experience, oh God, in this congregation, in this altar, I want to have a new experience.

  95. I want to experience you, god.

  96. I want to experience your power and your authority.

  97. I want to experience your grace.

  98. This night that, as I share your word, it shall not be about me, it's about you, oh Lord.

  99. Do it for us.

  100. Do it one more time.

  101. Do it, oh God, touch your children.

  102. In Jesus' name, we pray and the children of God say the big amen, amen, amen, hallelujah.

  103. Our God is a good God and a mighty God.

  104. I thank him for what he's about to do tonight.

  105. It's very interesting that, as I grew up, one of the things I was not ever interested with was being an artist.

  106. I've never had interest in drawing and even doing anything that comes with art.

  107. That is one of the things I know.

  108. It was my poor end, unfortunately, or fortunately fortunately, yes, I got a son who loves drawing.

  109. He loves drawing and he has got a gift.

  110. He is 10 years old and if I show you what he draws, I'm marketing him right now.

  111. He does a good job, he knows how to draw.

  112. Now that guy has surprised me to love art that nowadays, when I see an art somewhere, I'm able to recognize the effort and the talent.

  113. Long time ago, I never used to recognize talent when it comes to art.

  114. Then I came to discover that God is an artist, and so I have started to love God as an artist, the things that God does, the art of God.

  115. If you told my son to do a warship you know those ships the first thing, if it were me to draw a ship, I will start with the ocean.

  116. Then I will start up going up and drawing a ship.

  117. That was my thoughts a long time ago when my son started to do it.

  118. He would start with maybe the flag A flag of the owner of the ship.

  119. And so you will be wondering what does he want to draw?

  120. And I came to discover, he told me, the reason why I start with the flag is because I have the picture in my head, so the only thing I'm doing is to put it in the paper so I can start anywhere.

  121. When he wants to draw a man who has muscular he has some muscle and he's masculine he can start with the chest because that is where he wants to draw a man who has some muscle and he's masculine he can start with the chest because that is where he wants to start with the emphasis.

  122. But he has the whole picture in the head.

  123. Same with our God that he has the end story even before he starts.

  124. He has the picture.

  125. Our God is an artist.

  126. Can you imagine?

  127. How did God decide that we need to have eyebrows these ones.

  128. How?

  129. Eyebrows Eyelashes I'm okay with Because it helps us, but eyebrows, these ones.

  130. How Can you imagine without them how we'd be looking?

  131. How could God decide that we need nails?

  132. You know, if I were me creating, I could have done just fingers full without nails.

  133. But how did he decide that after he puts the nails, after the fingers, he has to put the nails and then the ladies enjoy them.

  134. They even now put styles and colors on them.

  135. Can you imagine us without nails?

  136. This God is a serious artist.

  137. He looks at things and he creates images on them.

  138. And tonight I want to show you how God is an artist.

  139. He knows your tomorrow than you know it yourself.

  140. He knows the end of the story before even the story starts.

  141. Because he's an artist.

  142. He can see the end of the story.

  143. He can see the picture completed, you yourself sorted out, when you're still in the mess.

  144. When we say it's a year of an uplifted open door and this month we speak about an open door with advancement God knows the next stage of your life, irregardless of the warfare.

  145. God knows where he is taking you before even you take the first step.

  146. The book of Exodus, chapter 14.

    Exodus 14 chapter mention

  147. I want to talk about the strategy of God's way of advancing us, the strategy of God in our advancements.

  148. This is a very interesting story, true story, in the book of Exodus, chapter 14.

    Exodus 14 chapter mention

  149. And we shall do the whole of Exodus, chapter 14.

    Exodus 14 chapter mention

  150. Exodus, chapter 14.

    Exodus 14 chapter mention

  151. Then the Lord said to Moses look at this.

  152. Then the Lord said to Moses tell the Israelites to turn back.

  153. This is after they have left the Egypt.

  154. They had gone out of Egypt and now they are out of Egypt.

  155. Pharaoh has left them, have released them and they are out there.

  156. So then God sees them when they are walking out of Egypt very excited.

  157. They'll never be slaves again.

  158. Then God says this in chapter 14.

  159. Then God said to Moses tell the Israel to turn back and camp near Pithloth, between Migdol and the sea.

  160. They are to camp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon.

  161. Then Pharaoh will think the Israel are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.

  162. God has seen the children of Israel, that who have come out of Egypt, and he has shown and displayed his power.

  163. Then, when they are walking out and they have moved out of Egypt, god speaks to Moses and tells Moses let them come near that place so that I can make sure that I destroy Pharaoh.

  164. And as he does this, he tells them they will look confused.

  165. Can you imagine God makes people to look confused?

  166. Imagine God makes people to look confused and he says they will look like they are confused.

  167. They look like nothing is happening in their lives.

  168. They look like they are stagnated.

  169. They look like nothing is working in their lives.

  170. Do we have some people who are there where everyone looks at you and you seem like nothing is happening?

  171. You are in that stage of life where you look at yourself and we look at you and we see confusion.

  172. That is the state the children of Israel were, because they were supposed to be heading on.

  173. Then God tells them to turn and look like they're coming back.

  174. God's strategy and setup.

  175. I want to decree to you that some of you are in a place that you are praying God to take you out.

  176. But that place where you are that looks so confused, that looks so distorted, that looks like nothing is happening, that God in that place, he still have a plan for your advancement.

  177. God has brought all that confusion.

  178. It's called God's setup Because the Bible says then I will harden.

  179. That's verse four.

  180. I will harden, that's verse 4.

  181. I will harden the heart of Pharaoh and he will pursue them, but I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, so that the Israel Israelite did this.

  182. He causes confusion in our lives sometimes, not because he wants you to stagnate, not because he has no place that he is taking you.

  183. It is just that this time he has put you in such a place, but he is saying you are advancing and so when we lead that this is a month of advancement.

  184. I know some of you have not even moved an inch, but God is still on the throne.

  185. God is still doing something good in your life.

  186. God is still telling you be still and know that I am the Lord.

  187. Sometimes we can be looking at our children, who are teenagers, and where they are in life.

  188. You're looking.

  189. Are they going ahead or are they coming back?

  190. Or what is happening in their life?

  191. Let me tell you something today that God has set up something for their lives.

  192. When you see me stop, when you see me standing, when you see me like I'm confused, let me tell you something.

  193. Something is happening in my life Because the enemy thinks like he has hold you.

  194. What I want you to know is that you can raise a prayer and tell God, even in this confusion, I want to be still.

  195. Sometimes.

  196. Even in this confusion, I want to be still.

  197. Sometimes, even in our nation, we can be in a place where we are very discouraged because when we look at this nation called Kenya, we are wondering where are we going?

  198. You're asking God what can we do to change our nation?

  199. It looks like it is stagnated.

  200. The Holy Spirit was speaking to me today and tell me, even when I see like that, I'm still in plan, I'm still cooking something, I'm still working something, I'm still doing something.

  201. I'm still doing something.

  202. I'm still God, I'm still the faithful father of the children of Israel.

  203. I brought them out of Egypt.

  204. They may look confused, but I'm still having a plan.

  205. God is having a plan over your life.

  206. I want you to know, and the Holy Spirit spoke to me and told me Go and tell my people that I'm still having A plan for each One of them.

  207. The Bible says Because we are going to do a Bible study For Exodus, chapter 14.

    Exodus 14 chapter mention

  208. When the king Verse 5 now.

  209. When the king verse 5.

  210. Now, when the king of Egypt was told that the people have fled, imagine this is the same man who had led the children of Israel to go.

  211. Now he is asking who led them to flee.

  212. The confusion that this man was put on was a great confusion.

  213. Then he says when the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their mind about them and said what have we done?

  214. We have let the Israelites go and have lost their service.

  215. So they decided that they are going to take their chariots ready and he took his army with him.

  216. He took 600 of the best chariots Along with them and other chariots of Egypt With their officers over all of them.

  217. The Lord had hardened the heart of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, so he pursued the children of Israel who marched boldly.

  218. The Egyptians and the Pharaohs and the horses went against the children of Israel.

  219. They went after them.

  220. They were running after them because they had seen a thief.

  221. They are in confusion.

  222. You know when the devil sees us like God is doing nothing in our lives and then we start preaching to ourselves and saying God has left me.

  223. The enemy thinks like he can get us, so he gets the army, he gets the resources and things now look bad.

  224. And that's when we say when it rains, it falls.

  225. When it falls, it rains, something close to that.

  226. That's the time we say I was trying to see things are working out, but when things went bad, they went to us.

  227. The children of Israel looked back and they saw verse 10, and Pharaoh approached the children of Israel and they looked up.

  228. They looked up and they saw the army marching towards them.

  229. They looked up and they saw the army marching towards them.

  230. They were terrified.

  231. They were terrified.

  232. Some of us in this place are terrified.

  233. The enemy has been coming against us and nothing seems to move.

  234. Nothing seems to change.

  235. We are stuck in a place where we are asking God how can I get myself out of this?

  236. And fear got in the children of Israel Wow, verse 12.

  237. Didn't we say the Egypt?

  238. Why did we leave?

  239. They started asking why did we leave us alone?

  240. Let us serve in the Egyptians.

  241. It would have been better for us to serve in Egypt than to die in the desert.

  242. Verse 13,.

  243. Moses answered the people do not be afraid.

  244. I came here to say do not be afraid, stand firm, because as I go on.

  245. I'm going to show you that God has a plan for you to advance.

  246. Your business may be in a place where it looks confused.

  247. You may be feeling like this is the time to close down, but God is speaking to somebody who is in this place and God is telling you be firm, stand firm.

  248. I'm about to do something.

  249. The Bible says in verse 15,.

  250. Then the Lord said to Moses why are they crying?

  251. Why are you crying Out to me?

  252. Tell the Israel to move on.

  253. Then the Bible says that he raises his staff.

  254. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea.

  255. Divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on the dry ground.

  256. I will harden the heart of the Egyptians so that they will go after them, and I will gain glory through Pharaoh and his army, through his chariots and his horsemen.

  257. The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.

  258. That is what the Lord keeps saying when I gain glory through Pharaoh and his chariot and his horsemen.

  259. Verse 19,.

  260. That's where I wanted us to come.

  261. The Bible says this, and maybe, if you have never read this, it's good to go home and read it.

  262. The scripture says then the angel, the angel of God who has been traveling in front of Israel.

  263. When the Israelites move out of Egypt, god set an angel to go ahead of them, to go in front of them, and he was writing light in front of them.

  264. He was the one who was providing light at night.

  265. So he went.

  266. Who was in front of them?

  267. Verse 19 says when now, these enemies started to come, then the angel of God who had been traveling in front of them, in front of them, the angel of God who had been traveling in front of Israel army, withdrew.

  268. He withdrew and went behind them.

  269. The angel of the Lord who was ahead of them withdrew and they could see that light coming behind them.

  270. And then the Bible says what the pillar of crowd also moved from front and stood behind them.

  271. This is the picture I want to see.

  272. The enemy were coming after the children of Israel, who looked confused.

  273. Then the angel of the Lord, who was leading the children of Israel, changed his position.

  274. He moved from the front and came behind them.

  275. And then, behind this angel, the crowd that was bringing darkness went behind them.

  276. And so, between the children of Israel, there was an angel that was providing the right in front and there was a crowd that was giving darkness to the Egyptians who were following the children of Israel.

  277. God will make sure, even in your confusion, that the enemy will not see you.

  278. God provided a light and that's what the scripture says coming between the enemies of the Egypt and the Israel, and that through all the night.

  279. That is how the picture was.

  280. The children of Israel were ahead and there was a light that was beaming, showing them where they are going.

  281. And then, on this other side, there was a cloud that was bringing darkness and the children of Israel could not see the enemy anymore and the light was shining for the children of Israel.

  282. So let me shock you Maybe you have never seen this that when Moses took a staff and the water parted, the Egyptians didn't see that.

  283. They were on the side where there was darkness and the children of Israel were shining.

  284. They could see the water parting, but the Egyptians, the enemy, could not see the miracle that God was doing for the children of Israel.

  285. God had provided the doing for the children of Israel.

  286. God had provided the light For the advancement of the children of Israel.

  287. While the darkness was over the enemy.

  288. He could not see them.

  289. In your confusion, in your advancement, the things that God is doing behind the scene.

  290. If he only showed you how he has put the enemy away from you, you could have depression.

  291. If you only knew what the devil has been doing behind you.

  292. But God has put a cover so that you may not even see the enemy coming.

  293. You may not see what is happening in your life.

  294. You may not see what is happening in your life.

  295. You may not see what is happening in your marriage.

  296. You may not see what your children will go through.

  297. God has put darkness so that the enemy you may advance and the enemy may not see.

  298. God puts a cover for your advancement.

  299. God has put a cover your advancement.

  300. God has put a cover, has put an enemy away from you.

  301. Though sometimes you feel the devil is running after you, let me shock you.

  302. He can learn, but he cannot see me.

  303. He can do what he wants to do, but I know I have a cover because the angel of the Lord is behind me, showing me where we are going.

  304. Maybe in this moment I may not be doing the right thing, I may not be in the right place, but I can tell you there is a right ahead of me that is telling me, we can do it, and the enemy is behind me.

  305. The Bible says then Moses stretched out.

  306. This is verse 21.

  307. Moses stretched out.

  308. This is verse 21,.

  309. Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with strong wind and he turned it into dry land.

  310. The water were divided and the Israelites went through the sea on a dry ground with walls of water on the right and on the left.

  311. God parted way.

  312. The children of Israel could see this.

  313. The enemy could not see, and I will prove that, because verse 23 says the Egyptians pursued them.

  314. The Egyptians pursued them and the all feral horses and the chariots and the chariots and the horsemen followed them into the sea.

  315. They could not notice there was a parting of the water.

  316. They thought they are still in the dry ground.

  317. They thought the children of Israel are still in the camp.

  318. They followed them into the water.

  319. What they didn't know this was water that had been parted.

  320. They were thinking they are still in a dry land.

  321. And they followed the children of Israel because at that point it was darkness.

  322. There was darkness, it was at night, but the children of Israel had a light to show them.

  323. The water had parted, and so they are moving into the water.

  324. But the enemy is coming after them, thinking it's a dry land.

  325. And the scripture says what During the last watch of the night, the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and the crowd of the Egyptian army and threw them into confusion.

  326. Their watch time.

  327. The Bible says the last watch.

  328. That's around three o'clock in the morning, 3 am to 6 am.

  329. That's the last watch.

  330. Then God looked down and saw them.

  331. They had entered into the place they were not supposed to enter.

  332. The parting of the water is for the children of God.

  333. The parting of the water is for the children of God, it's not for the enemy.

  334. The places God has given you are for you and not for the enemy.

  335. The house that God has given you is yours, not for the enemy.

  336. So when the enemy enters in that territory that God has set up for the children of God, he shows them dust.

  337. There are things in your life that God has ordained are yours for your advancement.

  338. So when the enemy wants to put his feet there, the Lord appears.

  339. The Lord appears.

  340. That business you have God has given you.

  341. So when the enemy wants to put his feet, god appears he says this one I parted this water for my children, my marriage.

  342. God hased this water for my children, my marriage.

  343. God has parted water for me.

  344. So when the enemy wants to try something, the devil tells him this one is I parted water for him, not for you.

  345. God has given you education and your education.

  346. God parted that water so that you may have success.

  347. And so when the enemy put his finger onto that, the devil knows who God is.

  348. The scripture says God stood up and looked down and said they have entered a territory that was not meant for them.

  349. The parting of the water was not for them, it was for my children to pass through.

  350. And the Bible says in verse 25, very interesting he jammed their wheels.

  351. They could not move backward or in front, they had come too close.

  352. And God said this one I will jam them.

  353. I look at the enemy to know that as I move up, as God helps me to grow, as I am having new experiences with God, there are things that God is doing so that the enemy will never catch up with me.

  354. There are things the enemy will not find me doing because I have moved and I know that his wheels have been jumped up.

  355. He jumped their wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving.

  356. The Egyptians said let's get away from Israel.

  357. The Lord is fighting for them.

  358. They are fighting against the Egyptians, even them.

  359. They felt they are trapped up.

  360. They said our chariots and remember what we read, that these were 600 chariots that were of the fine order, these were the best in the land, these were the greatest they ever had.

  361. The Bible says they looked and said oh, god has started to fight for them.

  362. He jumped their wheels.

  363. I love that Every time I go to God I'll be excited to know that anything the devil has planned, it's jumped up.

  364. This is the confidence I have in Christ Jesus, that he who started good work in me, he is faithful, because every time he jumps the enemy for me, he stops him for my advancement.

  365. That's why when I go to school and I have no school fees, I know that God has jumped the enemy I am progressing on.

  366. That's why I know when I have difficulties, god has set up for me and the enemy has been jumped up.

  367. Set up for me and the enemy has been jumped up.

  368. I have confidence that my God can jump anything for my advancement.

  369. That's why when I pray, I pray with an understanding that God has jumped the enemy.

  370. So the things that you're being worried about.

  371. Let me tell you something.

  372. He shuts the mouth of the lion.

  373. He quenches the fire for Shadrach, meshach and Abednego.

  374. That's the God.

  375. He jumps things.

  376. They put him in the lion's den and he jumps their mouth.

  377. They can't open to bite them.

  378. He puts them in fire.

  379. They cannot even smell smoke because he jumps the force.

  380. That's our God.

  381. That is our God.

  382. He jumps things.

  383. Things that are about to harm us.

  384. He jumps them up.

  385. Things that are about to destroy our family he jumps them up.

  386. Things that are about to destroy my children he jumps them up.

  387. Things that are about to destroy our family he jumps them up.

  388. Things are about to destroy my children he jumps them up.

  389. Things are about to destroy my things.

  390. He jumps them up.

  391. He brings the confusion in the camps of the enemy.

  392. That's the God we serve.

  393. That's the confidence we have that he will jump up everything, everything the enemy knew that God is fighting.

  394. Have you ever been in such a place when even the devil knows that somebody is defending you?

  395. You're in a place when they know for sure.

  396. This is not a guy To joke around with Because God fights for him.

  397. I might be in a place when it seems dangerous, but God will jump anything and everything that can harm me, because the Bible says in Psalms 91 that I shall trend in scorpions.

  398. I shall trend in them and they shall not take me, because I know that God will jump them.

  399. He jumps them and so they find themselves in water.

  400. The water had parted.

  401. The future they could see.

  402. And the Bible says the devil could not see the future.

  403. Let me shock you.

  404. The devil doesn't know the things that God has prepared for you.

  405. The devil has no idea the plans that God has for you.

  406. So when you're giving up in depression, you're giving a devil a chance to tell him how down you are.

  407. I keep telling the devil if you only knew what God has prepared for me, you could not bring this kind of thoughts in me, because I know that he has jumped everything and my advancement Is guaranteed.

  408. Look at this.

  409. Then the Lord said to Moses Stretch your hand.

  410. He jumped them, he fought for them.

  411. And then verse 26.

  412. Then the Lord says to Moses Stretch your hand over the sea so that the water may flow back and cover the Egyptians and the chariots and the horses.

  413. Then verse 27,.

  414. Moses did exactly that.

  415. He stretched out his hand over the sea and at daybreak, that is, early in the morning, the sea went back to its place and the Egyptians who were fleeing towards it and the Lord swept them into the sea.

  416. Can you imagine this drama happens in the morning, when the children of Israel are standing here and the sun has come and the darkness has gone, and the drama and the fights of the night.

  417. Who knows that the joy comes in the morning?

  418. Oh, morning will last for a night, but the joy comes in the morning because the children of Israel, when they stood and they saw that God has put back the water, and the children of Israel were standing there with amazement Joy comes in the morning.

  419. Look at your neighbor and tell them joy comes in the morning.

  420. Joy comes in the morning.

  421. I'm telling you.

  422. You may find me confused, I might be in darkness, things may not be working out by my advancements, but it is guaranteed Because joy comes in the morning.

  423. The Bible says that when the water came back, the Israelites were excited, the Egyptians who were fleeing towards it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.

  424. The water flowed back, covered the chariots and the horses and the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the children of Israel into the sea.

  425. Listen to this, verse 28b.

  426. Not one of them survived.

  427. That is how God is about to deal with some of your issues.

  428. No single issue will be left.

  429. God doesn't have to have big things when he says it shall be joy in the morning.

  430. He shall make sure none of them is left.

  431. I look to a point where none of your issues will be one of them will be left unsorted.

  432. Every single one of them will be sorted.

  433. The husband will be sorted, the children will be sorted, the business will be sorted, your health will be sorted, because our God is capable and able, he will sort everything.

  434. As we walk out of this place, I want you to know that God will sort everything.

  435. He will sort my finances, he will sort my life, he will sort my education.

  436. Yes, he will sort my ministry.

  437. Yes, he will sort my family.

  438. Yes, he will sort my education.

  439. Yes, he will sort my ministry.

  440. Yes, he will sort my family.

  441. Yes, he will sort my health.

  442. Everything, everything, everything that concerns my life.

  443. Oh, oh.

  444. But the Israelites went through the sea, on the dry ground and the walls of water right on the left.

  445. That day verse 20 and 30, that day the Lord saved Israelites from the hands of the Egyptians.

  446. And the Israelites saw the Egyptians lying down on the shores.

  447. They saw them, those ones they were seeing about to kill them.

  448. They saw them dead.

  449. God will give you a testimony that you will see with your own eyes Every promise that God has given you, you will see it with your own eyes.

  450. Everything that God has said, that will happen in the future, you will see it with your own hands.

  451. So look at your neighbor and tell them I'm going nowhere.

  452. I have to see it before.

  453. I will see it with my own eyes.

  454. I will see myself with my own eyes.

  455. I will see what God has spoken to me.

  456. That's why I want you to be spending time with God, so that he may be telling you things he wants you to do.

  457. He may give you the future.

  458. The Bible says a thousand days to God is like a day, and a day is like a thousand days.

  459. He knows your future.

  460. That's why he said he has the whole picture.

  461. That's why he said he has cleared up the picture.

  462. Maybe some of you he's just luring the frog, but he has the whole picture.

  463. May the Lord show us his picture so that we may see it when the enemy is destroyed.

  464. We shall have a testimony Verse 31,.

  465. And that's where we end.

  466. And when the Israel saw the mighty hand of God displayed against the Egyptian, the people feared the Lord.

  467. They said, oh my goodness, he can do this, he can do that, he can do this, he can do that.

  468. Oh my goodness, they could see, and they feared.

  469. They got shocked, they were amazed what God could do for them.

  470. God will do things in your life that will amaze you.

  471. The scripture says the people feared the Lord and they put their trust in him and his servant Moses, his servant Moses.

  472. Tonight, the Lord has been speaking to us about something, and he came to tell you today that he has something for every one of you, and he has a plan and he has the cover plan and he has the fight so that you may know his power and his glory.

  473. So, as we rise up today, the end game is victory, the end game is advancement, the end game is going to the next level, and I want us to take a moment and tell God I'm going to a new level, I am moving up.

  474. Maybe you are feeling so discouraged, but these Wednesday meetings are meetings of prayer, declaring things, saying things, saying Lord, I want to see what God you have prepared for me.

  475. Maybe you came to this place so wanting to give up.

  476. I came to tell you this is not a psych meeting.

  477. This is a divine meeting.

  478. This is the power of God.

  479. He will amaze you what he can do.

  480. He is an artist.

  481. He has drawn all these things.

  482. He gathered you here so that you may hear this, so that you may know he has a plot that he wants to accomplish in you, with you and by him.

  483. This is the power of God.

  484. Oh, jesus, as I invite the worship team, mighty warriors, they sing that song.

  485. Jesus, the mighty warrior.

  486. As they sing that song, I want us to know that the God is a God who fights battles.

  489. He is great in battle.

  537. I thank you so much Because, god, I feel that some battles have been won.

  538. My God, you say that you won these battles even before that they entered in this war.

  540. This battle is won.

  541. Some who are already in the battle, oh God, I hear you say you have put a cover behind them, that the enemy will not get close to them.

  542. Oh God, others are coming out of the battle.

  543. They have been going through hell, the nights have been longer, but I feel, god, as I step out of these wars and fights and battles that the enemy had brought for them, they will say the Lord has been good.

  544. No matter where you are, you might be the one who is entering the battle next, and maybe you're the one who is in the battle.

  588. This is the body that Jesus Christ laid down for every victory that we desire and deserve in this house.
