2024-01-31_Wednesday Service. Authorize Your Vision. By PBC Senior Pastor, Rev. Ambrose Nyangao

Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly.

We want to read a passage from Genesis 37, verse five to 11.

Today we are talking about authorize your vision.

We have been talking about vision the whole month of January.

We want to talk about authorize your vision and I'm going to explain that even as we continue this evening, as we wrap up the month of January.

And so I want to read Genesis.

This is the story of Joseph and the dreams that God gave to him.

The Bible says Joseph had a dream and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more.

He said to them listen to this dream I had.

We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.

And his brother said to him do you intend to rain over us?

Will you actually rule us?

And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said.

Then he had another dream and he told it to his brothers.

Listen, he said I had another dream and this time the sun and moon and 11 stars were bowing down to me.

When he told his father, as well as his brothers.

His father rebuked him and said what is this dream you had?

Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?

And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.

One has.

If you will tell your neighbor it is important to dream, I'll tell the other neighbor it is important to have a vision, because the Bible says without a vision, people do what People perish.

If you're going to conquer this world, you need a dream, you need a vision, and that is why, for the whole month, we've been talking about the theme of the day of the day.

For the whole month, we've been talking about the theme vision for 2024, because this vision will carry us through the year.

Every day of this year, this dream will come to pass.

The door is open.

I'm saying the door is open.

One of the things we are saying is that we're going to saturate this city with this message the door is open, the door is open, the door is open and the door is uplifted, open door.

There's a verse I bumped into in the book of Mark, chapter 1, verse 33, a very interesting statement made by Mark.

Mark 1:33

The Bible says this the whole town gathered where At the door.

Can you imagine?

Hello, now, the door doesn't mean a physical door, because how can a whole city now let me read that in the New Kingdom's version how can a whole city gather on one door?

So this is what it says in New Kingdom's James.

And the whole city was gathered together where At the door.

How can a whole city gather at the door?

But this door is a particular door and the door is who it's Jesus.

Now it is interesting what happened at that door.

If you read the next verse 34, the Bible says then he healed and that he is who it's Jesus.

That's the door.

Then he healed many who are sick with various diseases and cast out many demons, and he did not allow the demons to speak because they knew him.

Hello.

So we are gathering people where At the door, and the door will make a difference for them because the door will give them access and opportunity.

Let me read this other verse in Psalms and this is just a recap for us Psalms 24, verse 7.

Psalms 24:7

The Bible says this about the gates and about the door.

It says lift up your heads or you gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors and the King of glory shall come in.

Who is this King of glory?

The Lord strong and mighty.

The Lord mighty in battle, lift up your heads or you gates.

Lift up your everlasting doors and the King of glory shall come in.

John, chapter 10.

John 10 · chapter mention

Jesus himself speaking in verse 7.

This is what he said.

Then Jesus said to them again most assuredly I said to you, I am what, I am, the door.

In verse 9 of that chapter, jesus said I am the door.

If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.

So when we talk about this door, people gathered at the door the door is one, the door is Jesus.

But as you enter that door, there are many rooms in that house and many doors in there.

And so I want to tell you this this year 2024, god is setting you up.

I'm saying God is setting you up.

He's setting you up for favors.

I'm saying favors.

Tell your neighbor, favor is not fair, hello.

And so God will bless you in such a way that your neighbor will wonder why you favored.

But guess what?

Psalms 102, verse 13, says this it's a very interesting verse.

Psalms 102:13

You know it, but let me read it for us.

You will arise and have mercy on Zion for the time to favor her.

Yes, the said time has come.

So tell your neighbor I'm being favored.

So tell your neighbor I'm being favored.

If I'm favored before you, don't be envious, because God is going to favor you and favor is not is not fair, we don't deserve it.

But God just suddenly, out of nowhere, blesses us.

Have you ever gone to like Sarit center or some place where all the parking seem to be taken?

But then, before you reach there, you just say, god, give me a parking, hallelujah.

But the place is parked.

It's not as parked as it was during the anointing service on Saturday, because no car could move, hello.

But you end on to that place and there's a car in front of you.

You know how your bumper to bumper the car in front of you.

Then the car, just as the car, is looking for parking.

When it just goes up a bit forward, the car it passed comes out.

Now that is.

Can you imagine what the other guy is feeling?

It's quite unfair.

But favor is unfair.

May that favor catch up with you, amen.

I'm saying may that favor catch up with you, amen, in Jesus name.

So Joseph had a very interesting life and he had a dream and he began to speak it to the brothers, and the brothers just kept feeling ah, this is not right.

By the way, joseph is the 11th born, he's the nearly second last born, and yet, as a second last born, god propelled him forward in amazing ways.

That's why we're talking about acceleration.

May God accelerate you.

Amen, in Jesus name.

Let me read 1 Corinthians 2, verse 9 and 10.

1 Corinthians 2:9

1 Corinthians, 2, 9 and 10.

The Bible says this, however, as it is written what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard and what no human mind has conceived, the things God has prepared for those who love him, these are the things God has revealed to us by his spirit, the spirit such as all things, even the deep things of God.

And so today, as I share, I want to talk about how do you authorize your vision, because when God gives you a vision, he doesn't want you to just admire the vision, he wants you to authorize the vision, give the vision authority to come alive.

And so I want to share three things about how to authorize your vision.

Number one keep thinking, keep thinking it, keep thinking the vision, keep thinking it.

Number two keep commanding it.

And number three keep celebrating it, keep thinking it, keep commanding it, keep celebrating it.

Let me read these verses again in Habakkuk, chapter 2, verse 2.

Habakkuk 2:2

Because as God reveals to you his visions, begin to think it, keep thinking it, keep commanding it, keep celebrating it.

Habakkuk, he says.

And the Lord replied write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it, for the revelation awaits an appointed time.

It speaks of the end and will not prove false, though it linger.

Do what, wait for it.

It will certainly come and will not delay it will come.

But so how do you authorize your vision?

Number one keep thinking it.

Let me read Philippians 4-8.

This is a verse that we know very well.

There are things that you need to meditate and think about them constantly.

So it says finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is what is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure.

Now remember, we are talking about vision.

So let me start again, brothers.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever vision is true, whatever vision is noble, whatever vision is right, whatever vision is pure, whatever vision is lovely, whatever vision is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy in that vision, think about such things.

Think it.

No wonder Joseph, when he had a dream, he thought about it and thought about it.

And maybe he wondered is this vision true?

Is it mine?

Will these people actually do this to me?

And he thought about it.

He meditated about it.

Let me show you this verse in Joshua 1-8.

Again, god is speaking to Joshua, giving him a revelation, showing him what he wants to do.

And the Bible says keep this book of the law always on your lips.

Meditate on it there night, think about it.

Think about it so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.

Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Think about this vision, hallelujah.

Internalize it.

That's what he's saying.

Don't just let it float before you Internalize it.

It's like a seed Plant it in your life.

Let me read another verse 1 Timothy, chapter 4, verse 15.

1 Timothy 4:15

Again, paul is talking to Timothy and encouraging him about what he needs to do.

It says be diligent in these matters, give yourself holy to them so that everyone may see your progress.

Let me read that same verse in the New King James Version.

The Bible says this Meditate on what?

On these things?

Meditate on this vision.

Give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.

You know, one time Peter had a vision and he really wondered about the vision.

So let me read it to you because it was really confusing him Acts 10, 19 and 20.

The Bible says this While Peter was still doing what, thinking about what the vision, the Spirit said to him Simon, three men are looking for you, so get up and go downstairs.

Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.

And sometimes the visions God gives to you sometimes can be confusing and you're not sure what God is talking about.

But God is saying hey, spend time to do what, think, meditate on that vision.

And so that's why we are saying, as I've shared the vision and some of the things I've written in this book, sometimes they may not be clear immediately, but hey, continue reading and thinking and meditating on those things, because God will give you understanding.

Tell your neighbor, god will give us understanding, because God wants to.

God wants to think about these things.

Now, sometimes talking about vision and dreams, you know, sometimes people just don't.

There are people who never dream Hello, they need to sleep, they don't dream Nothing.

Then there are other people who dream every day.

Hello, they dream, dream.

I had a dream.

What did you dream?

Oh, I dream that was becoming rich.

They dream all the time.

So that those who don't dream that, those who dream a lot, but let me tell you this A lot of the dreams that God gave the prophets, they were able to write them down.

And so today, our dreams sometimes may not be in pictures.

The dreams that envisioned God gives us are in words.

In words, and if you want to know some of those dreams that God has for us, in the Bible they start with this God is speaking and he's saying I will do this, I will do this, I will do this.

Those are visions God is saying believe them, because I want them to happen on the planet Earth.

Meditate on the eye wheels of God.

Let me give you a few of them.

Yeah, let me give you a few of them.

Ezekiel, I like this one, ezekiel, chapter 12, verse 26 to 28.

Ezekiel 12:26–28

Let me read it in the New King James version, please Ezekiel 12.

I like this verse 26 to 28.

It says again the word of the Lord came to me saying son of man, look, the house of Israel is saying the vision that he sees is for many days from now and he prophesies of times far off.

Therefore, say to them thus, says the Lord God, none of my words will be postponed anymore.

I love that, but the word which I speak will be done, says the Lord God, amen.

Now tell your neighbor.

This vision has to happen.

You know, some people profess and say it will be done one of these days.

Let me tell this God is saying I'm not postponing it.

This is that year.

I'm saying this is that year.

This is that year of your promotion.

This is that year your fortunes are about to be returned to you.

He's not postponing it.

Now let me read it again, because somebody thought it was a typo, so let me read it.

It's not a typo.

Then the word of the Lord came to me saying son of man, look, the house of Israel is saying they were saying certain things.

They keep saying one of these days it will happen.

One of these days it will happen.

He's saying the children of Israel, the house of Israel.

He's saying the vision that he sees is for many days from now and he prophesies of times far off.

Therefore, say to them thus, says the Lord God none of my words will be postponed anymore, but the word which I speak will be done, says the Lord God.

Somebody better catch that in the air In Jesus' name.

There's another one.

Ezekiel 34, verse 15, talks about God will feed us.

Ezekiel 34:15

God will feed us.

He says I will feed what, I will feed my flock.

I will make them lie down, says the Lord.

God, amen, I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick.

I like that.

Then he says but I will destroy the fat and the strong and feed them in judgment.

And he's talking about some of the sheep that were creating problems.

Hello, then another one Psalm 75, verse 10.

Psalms 75:10

I'm just giving you the eye wheels of God, the visions of God.

He says all the horns of the wicked.

The word horns is basically authority.

So he's saying all the horns of the wicked.

I will also do what Cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted, your authority will be lifted up.

Those are the visions God is saying.

Think about these things.

How do you authorize your vision?

By thinking about them.

Look at the next statement here, acts chapter 2, verse 17,.

Acts 2:17

Reminding us of the anointing service.

It says this and it shall come to pass in the last day, says God that I will pour out of my spirit on all flesh.

Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.

Your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.

I will pour, I will pour, I will pour.

Let me read another one about the God pouring his spirit Isaiah 44, believe it is verse 3.

Let me read that.

Isaiah 44, verse 3.

Isaiah 44:3

He says I will pour water on him.

Who is what?

Who is thirsty and floods on the dry ground.

I will pour my spirit on your descendants and my blessing on your offspring.

They will spring up among the grass like wheelers by the water course.

One will say I am the Lord's.

Another will call himself by the name of Jacob.

Another will write with his hand the Lord's and name himself by the name of Israel.

He is pouring his spirit.

Let me give you another one here as I tie this up Ezekiel 32, verse 14.

Ezekiel 32:14

Especially for some of you, where things have been polluted in your life, things are mudded up, it says this then I will make their waters work Clear and make their rivers run like oil, says the Lord God.

May the Lord clear your waters.

I'm saying may the Lord clear your waters in Jesus' name.

Then there's one that we basically talk about, especially Psalms 91.

So let me read Psalms 91, verse 14 to 16.

Psalms 91:14–16

And these are the wills of God.

Well, that's what he wants to do, but he says but as for me, I trust in you, oh Lord.

Sorry, 91, not 31.

Psalms 91, verse 14.

Psalms 91:14

Because he has set his love upon me.

Therefore, I will do what I will deliver.

Remember that I will.

I will deliver him.

I will set him on high.

Who wants to go high?

Yes, who wants to be set up?

I'm going to be set up in Jesus' name.

I will set him on high because he has known my name.

He shall call upon me and I will answer him.

I will be with him in trouble.

I will deliver him and honor him With long life.

I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.

Somebody better take that.

That is your portion in Jesus' name.

Yes, meditate on these things, believe them, stand on them, because God wants to do that for you, but quickly.

Not only should we keep thinking about these things, keep commanding it.

Command your vision, tell your neighbor, command your vision.

What does that mean?

Tell your vision what to do.

Remember what Jesus said in the Lord's prayer he says thy kingdom come.

Many times we pray like God should be the one to do everything.

You know, sometimes God is just looking for somebody to agree with him.

Tell your neighbor, god is looking for somebody to agree with him.

Now let me read these verses for you.

Daniel, chapter 9, verse 23.

Daniel 9:23

He had been praying and praying and then there was a vision.

The Bible says this in Daniel 20.

Now, while I was speaking, praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people, israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord, my God, for the holy mountain of my God, yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man, gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning being caused to fly, swiftly reached me about the time of the evening offering and he informed me and talked with me and said oh, daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand.

At the beginning of your supplications, the command went out and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved.

Therefore, consider the matter and understand the vision.

In other words, daniel was really praying, and praying for Israel and praying that things would be shifted.

He was in Babylon, in captivity, but he began to command the vision, he began to speak to the vision.

He began to say vision, you must take place.

This must happen.

Sometimes, when God shows you something, begin to contend with it, begin to deal with it.

The other day somebody asked me.

They said sometimes what do you do when you have a dream and the dream is not very positive, and especially if the dream is about somebody is going to die, what do you do?

And you know, she said there's a dream, she dreamt that somebody was going to die and that person died.

Now she's wondering what does she do when she has another dream like that, because she begins to feel guilty that she's the cause of the deaths.

Just talk to your neighbor, ask your neighbor have you ever had such that kind of a dream?

Your neighbor is saying not in this life.

So what do you do with those dreams?

Because sometimes we have a dream like that and it somebody is going to have an accident and they have an accident, somebody is going to lose somebody, they lose somebody.

So I asked God, god give me wisdom so that I can just tell her, so that she doesn't keep having these dreams.

And I said sometimes God gives you a dream and a vision, not because he wants it to happen, but because he wants you to contend with him so that that dream actually doesn't happen.

Now, that is one side.

There are sometimes some things that sometimes God gives you a dream that you are promoted, you had a lot of money in your pocket, but when you woke up it was just a dream and you're still poor and you're still struggling.

So why did you get that dream?

Was it just a fantasy?

Sometimes God gives you that dream so that you don't just despise it, but so that you can contend with God and tell God that which I dreamt must happen Thy kingdom come, thy will be done On earth.

You see, god is seeking for partnerships.

Heaven is looking for somebody to agree with them on this planet earth.

The Bible says the eyes of the Lord go to and fro in the earth looking for a man and a woman that he may show himself mighty on their behalf.

But sometimes he comes and finds no one.

So when you have dreams or a vision that somebody you love is going to die and you don't want them to die, contend with God.

Wake up in the morning and say in Jesus' name, it is the thief who comes to steal and kill and destroy.

But my God Came that I have life, and so I decree and declare that that person will live and not die.

You begin to contend, you enter into warfare.

Let me show you this verse 1 Timothy, chapter 1, verse 18, because it happened to Timothy and Paul is talking to him how to contend with those kinds of dreams and prophecies.

1 Timothy 1:18

Listen to what he says.

He says this charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that you may go back Let me finish this that by them you may wage the good warfare.

He's saying those are prophecies that were made and you're taking them for granted.

He says take those prophecies and wage the good warfare and decree and declare that prophecy will come to pass, even if your vision is to travel.

And then you go get a visa and it is denied.

Don't give up.

Contend with it.

Hello, because sometimes it is very disheartening.

You've gone to the embassy, you've paid everything that you've paid and it is money that you also borrowed, hello.

And then they give you a slip of paper saying your visa is denied.

And then you say the states can stay with their visa.

Sometimes God is trying to figure out.

Do you really want to go or you want to just drop that dream?

Let me tell you this Authorize your vision.

Authorize your vision.

Ask God to help you understand the vision, because sometimes God wants you to interact with him, like Daniel.

Daniel said I don't understand this, and so the angel came and began to help Daniel understand the vision, so that now he would pray with understanding.

Let me give you this other verse Isaiah 43, verse 26.

Isaiah 43:26

Let me read it in the new King James version again.

Again, this is about contending, bringing your request before God.

It says put me now this is God speaking.

Put me in remembrance.

Let us contend together.

State your case that you may be acquitted.

Now.

Let me read this in the amplified version.

God is saying come on, let's contend with me.

Let's be a lawyer, and I'm a lawyer.

It says remind me of your merits with a thorough report.

Don't talk to me with half issues, just give me a full report, hallelujah.

Remind me of your merits with a thorough report.

Let us plead With a thorough report.

Let us plead and argue our case together.

State your position that you may be proved right.

Let me read this in the NIV Maybe it may make sense there.

Isaiah 43, verse 26.

Isaiah 43:26

It says review the past.

For me, let us argue the matter together.

State the case for your innocence, talk to God.

That is how you authorize your vision, but not if you are.

Authorize your vision, authorize it, command it, decreate, declare it.

God wants to agree with you.

Allo, contain for those in your family who just are refusing to get saved.

The more you pray for them, the worse they become.

Allo, god is saying be like a lawyer, stand before God and say God, this one, excuse me, this one cannot go.

This one is not going to die.

They are not going.

And God is saying why?

God says now listen, they cannot go.

They are in their prime.

They were not created to go to hell.

Your blood redeemed them.

Yes, they are refusing right now, but I'm contending in the spirit realm that salvation be granted to them.

You remember that story of Abraham and Lot when God decided to go destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.

Remember that time?

And Abraham knew Lot was where, in Sodom, and he began to plead with God.

He said, god, you cannot destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.

Yes, it is so wicked.

In fact, I wish you had destroyed it yesterday, but God, my nephew is in that city.

You cannot destroy that city.

By the way, God, if there are 50 righteous people, will you destroy the city?

And God says no.

You know what Abraham was thinking.

He thought that maybe Lot had gone there and influenced 50 people, so he was relying on that.

And God says no, 50, I will not destroy.

So Abraham said what if there are 40, 5?

And God said I will not destroy them.

What about 40?

I will not destroy them.

35, I will not destroy them.

30, I will not destroy them.

They kept going down until they reached number.

They reached around 10.

If there are 10 righteous, will you destroy them?

He says I will not destroy the city.

The bad news is that they were not 10.

But you know what God said.

Because you have really pleaded for Lot, I'm going to wait for him to rescue Lot and his wife and his two daughters, but tell them, when I rain fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, they should not look back.

Now who looked back?

Oh, look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor some people.

Just tell your neighbor, don't doubt God.

But you see how Abraham contended and got Lot out.

Let me tell you this there are many of your family members that God is going to get out of the hands of the devil.

In Jesus' name, contend for them, believe for them, command that vision.

None of your relatives should go to hell.

Would you like them to go to hell?

No, why should they?

You want to have a reunion in heaven, all of you.

But the Bible says I wanted to destroy the place, but I did not find somebody in the gap To stop me and I destroyed them.

Contend for the good things, for the blessings.

God has already said I will bless you.

But don't just sit there and say but you have not blessed me for a long time.

Begin to believe God, begin to contend.

You tell God about a good, how you have waited for so long, hello.

And then God will say the set time has come, the time to favor them has come and your time for some of you could be tonight, could be tonight.

I'm saying somebody is about to experience their miracle tonight, tonight.

Do you know why?

The reason is simple.

Pastor Ambrose has been sitting for you.

I've been contending for your breakthrough.

I've been contending for your breakthrough in Jesus' name.

I've spent a whole month casting this vision and I'm saying this vision must happen.

You must be lifted up.

You must be accelerated.

Whether the devil likes it or not, you are coming through in Jesus' name.

Is somebody neatering this?

Neatering is a Hebrew word that means to do what To catch.

So catch it, take it in Jesus' name, but contend for people that Ambrose even doesn't know, but stand in the gap for them.

God will say, hey, this guy has really pleaded for long.

I will come through.

It's not because God has to be persuaded, no, it's because God wants you to be persuaded.

Are you persuaded enough to get wealth?

Do you really want to get wealth?

I'm talking to you now.

Do you want to get wealth?

Yes, you know there are verses sometimes that really take away your faith.

You remember this verse that says it is very difficult for rich men to enter the kingdom of God?

You remember that story?

Yes, just that scripture tells people ah, ah, it reaches.

And then God said it is so difficult for rich men to enter into the kingdom.

Just like a camel, it's very difficult to go through the eye of a needle.

Now, for us Kenyans and Africans, every time you think of a needle, you think of the sewing needle.

That kagap is so small that for sure it is very hard for a camel to go through.

In other words, that verse tells you God does not want me to be rich.

Just forget it, that word poor.

Somebody said P-O-O-R means passing opportunities over repeatedly.

Passing over opportunities repeatedly.

Why are you looking at me like that?

You're saying the word poor, passing over opportunities repeatedly.

God wants to bless you.

But somebody said that verse was written during a time when Kenya did not exist, before needles for sewing were not made.

That time when Jesus was speaking, when you enter the city, there was a small door into the city that camels could not go while they are standing because of the hump, and so a camel needed to kneel down to be able to pass through that place called the eye of the needle.

Let me tell you this rich people Find it difficult to go into the kingdom because they do not want to humble themselves.

The Bible says humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that in due season he may exalt you.

So just to help you about these riches, I just ask your neighbor is what Pesambra is saying making sense?

Because for some of you you are just saying, eh, if that's what it means, my friend, I'm going to be rich before I die.

Now look at this verse, deutonomy 8, 18.

Then I'll go to the next verse and wrap up this message.

But remember the Lord, your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.

God wants you to be wealthy.

He's given you the ability, the skills, the opportunities to become wealthy.

So don't let some of these verses take away your faith in Jesus' name.

So tell your neighbor, contend with God.

Tell your neighbor, keep commanding your vision, but finally, keep celebrating your vision.

You know, celebrate your vision so that you're not always sad that your vision is not happening.

It's going to come.

The appointed time will come, though it tarry.

Wait for it.

Let me read you this verse about Daniel and his friends and the vision.

Daniel, chapter 2, verse 19 to 23.

Daniel 2:19–23

They celebrated the visions that God gave to them.

It says during the night.

You know they were praying and he was asking for the vision to be understood.

He said during the night, the mystery was revealed to Daniel how, in a vision, then, daniel did what?

Praise the God of heaven, and he said praise be to the name of God forever and ever.

Wisdom and power are His.

He changes times and seasons.

May God change your time.

May God change your season.

If you're going through a very rough season, may God change it.

May God rearrange it for you.

Starting tonight, may your February be a blessing.

Because we're entering February tomorrow, I'm saying may your February be a blessing.

He changes times and seasons.

He deposes kings and raises up others.

He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

He reveals deep and hidden things.

He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him.

I thank and praise you, god of my ancestors.

You have given me wisdom and power.

You have made known to me what we asked of you.

You have made known to us the dream of the king Celebrate vision, because when you celebrate vision, you energize it, you give it power.

Let me read this thing about Abraham, romans 4.20.

He had been trusting God for quite some time.

Then he says this Romans, chapter 4, verse 20.

Romans 4:20

Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith by doing what he celebrated it.

The Bible says in verse 21.

He celebrated being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

This is why it was credited to him as righteousness.

The words it was credited to him were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness, for us who believe in whom?

In him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead.

When you start praising God, god gives you credit.

God gives you credit.

So authorize your vision, but start thanking him.

Thank him, just thank him.

Say God, that baby I've been waiting for I will have, but you better be married.

Hello, during the anointing service I think it was the anointing service, I don't know if it was Sunday this lady who came to me and said Ambrose, just pray for me, man, pray for me, oh God, pray for me.

I said why I need to get pregnant.

I said why it's been a long time, because she already had two kids.

Hello, is that a boy, a girl?

She needed another boy, but she's not getting pregnant.

She's waiting on God.

So now, what do you think Pastor Ambrose did?

Do I determine whether people should get boys or girls?

No, but you see, because she asked, I agreed with her.

I said, in the name of Jesus Christ, receive that boy, conceive that boy, because that boy could be the Samuel we're waiting for.

Hello, yes, that girl could be the Esther we're waiting for.

Now, some people don't care about children.

Maybe there's something else.

Oh God, ambrose, pray for me, but I need a car.

I've been walking for too long.

Now, while you're still looking at me, how many are in that category?

Okay, I can see those hands going up very far.

Okay, thank you, my sister.

I hope you have a driving license.

Yes, thank you, jesus.

Can you imagine we pray for a car and you get a car and you have no driving license?

By the way, the first car I got was given to me by an elder of the church, kitambo.

I was still an associate pastor, so he was going back to Ecuador and he said hey, ambrose, I want to leave my car for you, and I did not have a driving license.

Hello, I didn't have a driving license, but you know I received it.

I say, yes, receive it.

He said can you come and take it?

Can you come and drive it?

And since I knew I could not drive, I said drop it at my place.

So that car was dropped at my place.

Let me tell you this I was an associate I think I had just become because I had gone to the US and I had come back and I was married.

So, martha, every day, martha used to work at Narobi Hospital.

The car is at the parking.

Our house self would wash that car.

I would escort Martha to the bus stop.

Hello, I would come back because we used to live in Parklands six Parklands, those sites and then I would walk from six Parklands to Parklands here, ojijo Road, mpsha, every day and I have a car at home.

Then I tell you, I would look at the car, I would wash the car, but we never drove that car.

One day Martha asked me Kwanigari, this car cannot take me to work.

Do you know?

I had to take the step of getting a driver's license.

There was this driving school called Budget.

I know some people are amazing at putting names, because when it was written Budget Driving School, I knew that the budget was good and I took driving lessons for four, just four.

Because when I was in the US I actually learnt to drive, but I was driving on the right side so I didn't know how to drive back in Kenya.

So that's why I could not enter that vehicle.

But I took four lessons with Budget Driving School.

I don't know where Budget went, I don't know if the Budget was cut and all, but after those four lessons I entered that car and I drove it.

But let me tell you this I drove it and as a day, I made sure I do not drive.

You know it was these cars with clutch, you know the shift and I made sure I do not drive near inclines or hills.

I remember one time at Agakan Hospital, we had gone into Agakan.

As we were driving out at the gate there was a bump.

Did you know that I could not go over that bump?

I froze.

I froze so seriously that the passenger that I was carrying had to come out of the car, drive the car over the bump so that I could take over.

So ask your neighbor one more time.

I hope you have a driving license.

But let me tell you this I got more confident in driving.

I was able to go to inclines Nene, I was able to handle this clutch and things like that.

And then, thank God that the automatic cars came.

I don't know if they teach people with the shift or do they teach them on automatic.

Both, no, both.

Okay.

Why am I saying all this?

I had the vehicle at home.

I could not drive it.

It was mine.

I could not drive it.

Let me tell you this God has already deposited His promises to you.

Now, drive them.

Drive these promises, authorize your vision.

Authorize your vision, and sometimes people do amazing things in terms of authorizing.

The first thing we said is what Think, keep thinking it, keep thinking the vision, keep thinking this vision.

Number two Keep commanding.

Command it, it will come to pass.

You need an increment?

It will come to pass.

You need a promotion, it will come to pass.

You need to be taken to another job group, higher job group, it will decrease.

Say it.

Somebody is saying Wachanana, job, my job grades, I don't even have one.

Is there somebody here who, right now, they have all the qualifications and they have been doing what they can, but they don't have a job to date?

What you want, wachanana, can I have those hands up?

Because in the month of February, god will just locate you.

Okay, I see those three hands there Upstairs.

Okay, where?

Oh, muka-uko Munaimba namna job, take your portion.

I'm saying right now, take your portion.

I'm saying take your portion Because we're going to command.

We're going to command, take your portion, my brother.

Take your portion Because this month of God and you may be watching me online, I'm not speaking to you because in this month of February you're going to have a testimony In Jesus' name.

This job cannot be in your house and you're not driving it.

We are commanding it to come alive, in Jesus' name.

We are commanding your businesses to wake up Right now, in Jesus' name.

We are commanding clients to come from places you do not expect To look for you.

They will look for you.

You'll have to restock your stoke Jesus' name.

Every time you look at your stoke.

Look at it and say sold out, sold out.

And you are in the real estate trying to sell property and things like that.

Maybe you have a land that is not going.

Next time, look at that land, pick some of the soil and tell the soil be sold in Jesus' name.

Yes, something will shift how.

I gave you this verse last time, so let me read it and then we'll pray.

Isaiah 48, verse 7.

Isaiah 48:7

Just because I've said it now, listen to this.

All the things I've said, they are created now.

That's what I wanted to say.

All the things I've said jobs, our lands, all those things, they are being created now and not long ago.

You have not heard of them before today.

So you cannot say, yes, I knew of them.

Look at your neighbor.

I'm coming back with a testimony In Jesus' name.

Is it a court case that has been bothering you?

Is it a court case that keeps being postponed, postponed, postponed?

I'm saying that God will bring a judge who will cause you to pass through In your favor.

In Jesus' name, I'm telling you we are decreeing it now.

We are saying those vehicles are released now.

In Jesus' name, you know, for some of you, let me tell you this you're not going to go to the showroom to buy anything.

Somebody will come with keys and drop them in your hands In Jesus' name.

Jesus' name, that's the God we serve.

Then you say but Ambrose, that is so easy.

Now, with God's things, they are easy.

Hello, why should you suffer?

Why should you struggle?

Of course you suffered when you were doing driving, driving school.

Hello, you suffered when you were studying in school.

You don't have a job, but you went through this thing.

You got your certificate, you got your diploma, you have your degree.

Some of us have your master's, but you're stuck.

Nothing is happening.

Today, I'm saying it is a turnaround for you.

I'm saying it is a turnaround for you.

In Jesus' name.

It's a turnaround for you, those people in your family who are refusing to get saved.

The Holy Spirit will come upon them and begin to convict them and they'll come to salvation.

They will leave and not die.

They will come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

We are declaring it to be so in Jesus' name.

I don't know if I told you one time.

There's this lady currently she lives in Germany but she came with her son and a daughter and they were in my office and when they were about to leave I asked the son what do you want me to pray for you?

There was a small boy and the sister is older, and he came and said Ambrose, just pray for me, I want to be taller.

I think between him and the sister they were really struggling.

He was really struggling to be taller.

You can see very well looking at the daughter and looking at him and looking at the mother who is short.

This guy is not going anywhere.

Tell your neighbor, it is a gene problem.

But even when it is a gene problem, the God who created those genes can rework them.

So what did I do?

I just prayed, because the boy had asked.

I said in the name of Jesus, may this boy start growing now.

They sent me a picture the other day.

This boy is taller than the sister and taller than the mother.

It has been created so we are decreeing it now in Jesus' name.

You have no idea how God loves you.

You have no idea that God wants you to get excited.

Sometimes we think God will give us what we need, and for sure he will give us what we need.

There was this mother who used to go to the shops and mothers are here.

Sometimes you go to your children, to the shops to buy the needful things, but then you happen to pass near a toy shop and all the children forget about the things they need in the house.

Now they want things they want.

Mama, can I have this toy?

No, can I have it.

No, no, no, no, no.

Everywhere Until these boys are wondering we don't care about the bread that is mingbot, it is that toy we want.

And then a mother sees one of the boys or a girl, one of the boy or girl, the girl is handling this cauldron and they are so excited Just looking at the door, looking at the door, and the boy is looking at the cars and just pushing it around.

And then the mother says listen, we have no money to buy these things.

And they pack the things they needed and put it in the trolley and they go home and the children are very sad.

But the mother cannot forget the joy on the faces of those children when they were looking.

So one day, when the children do not know, she goes and buys that door and that car, not because it is needed, but because of the joy that will come out of those children when they get it.

Let me tell you this God knows what you need.

He'll give you what you need.

But God has seen you or some of the things you want, that if you could just get them to make you so happy and God wants not only to give it to you because he knows it may not last, hello but just for the joy on your face, he'll get it for you.

I'm talking to somebody now.

He's getting it for you.

You better give God a big hand, amen.

It may not be something you need, but it will bring you so much joy, you'll be so happy.

I just see what God did and for some of you it is just a relationship for somebody to love you.

If I could just be loved, loved, ish, ticket for a date, chocolate, ish.

So you know what God does God actually brings you that guy, but he knows it is temporal because that guy will not last, that guy will not marry you, but just for the joy of being taken out, somebody is saying not my portion, me, I want to be married by that guy.

But you know, even when we were in high school we fell in love left and right but we never married those people, did we?

Before I met Martha, I had fallen in love quite a bit with other people.

Some of them let me down and then others I let down.

Thank God Martha came and she stayed.

Thank God the Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

Sometimes we say we look at that word want, I shall not want.

This is interpretation.

I shall not want.

That's why we say God will not give us anything we want.

That's not what he's saying.

He's not saying that.

But may God meet you at the point of your need and may God just make you happy by blessing you.

Somebody better receive it now.

Jesus name, amen.

Number one what did we say Keep?

I didn't say think about.

I say keep thinking it.

Why are you changing my message?

Keep thinking it.

You're not thinking about the vision, you're thinking the vision.

So, keep thinking the vision, keep thinking it.

Number two, keep commanding it.

Number three Keep celebrating it.

Amen.

Now some of you picked different ones.

Who picked the first one and said this one, I have to really be, I need to start there.

How many of you said that number one is your portion?

Some of you God bless you.

Number two, some of who picked the command ones?

Oh, okay, now the third one?

Yes, we all included.

We'll celebrate what God is doing.

No distrust made him, whoever, concerning the promise of God.

He was as strong as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised, and he will do it for you.

Come on, stand up and give God a big hand.

Amen, come on.

Come on, let's give God a big hand.

Yeah, I believe this month you've been encouraged.

We are about to step into the next month, but we still be talking about vision.

This coming month, we're talking about kingdom authority, decreeing and declaring the word of God, which we've just introduced and will be running with that in the next couple of weeks.

Father, in the name of Jesus, we want to speak your blessing tonight To those who are watching us online, to those who are right here, in the person and Father.

Even as we prepare to leave, we decree and declare may the Lord bless you.

May the Lord make his face to shine upon you.

May the Lord be gracious to you, may the Lord lift up his countenance upon you.

Indeed, may the Lord fight your battles.

May the visions that have been given to you, may you contend for them, may you think vision, may you command vision, may you celebrate vision.

And for sure he who released them will make sure they come to pass.

And anything that is not of God.

Lord, we cancel in Jesus' name Any dream or vision that is not of God.

We bind it in Jesus' name.

We bring it under the blood of Jesus.

We declare that the devil will not fight against us, that his visions will not be our visions, his dreams will not be our dreams.

And so, lord, swallow the enemy's dreams that only your dreams may be authorized in our life.

My God, we say thank you, and so I bless you, each one of you.

May you reach home safely.

May God bless your family, bless your children, bless your businesses, may you bless the work of your hands, bless your careers.

And for those who don't have jobs, tonight we are declaring that those jobs will locate you In the name of Jesus, so receive this blessing.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, I'm God's.

People say
