-
Look at your neighbor.
-
Tell your neighbor you're looking good, better than yesterday and tomorrow.
-
This month you will shine in Jesus' name.
-
Better, better, sparkle, sparkle, shiny, shiny.
-
Look for in Jesus' name, come on one more time.
-
This is the day the Lord has.
-
What shall we do?
-
Amen.
-
Well, we are standing.
-
We want to welcome you as you receive God's Word today, reading from Ephesians, chapter 1, verse 7 to 14, and this month, again, our theme is what Empowered destiny?
-
The character for this month is Say it, it's the Lord Jesus.
-
So we have had many other characters.
-
We are finishing climaxing with the Lord Jesus Christ, and so we read these verses.
-
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins in accordance to the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
-
He made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the time, the times reach their fulfillment, to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth.
-
In Christ, in him, we were also chosen.
-
Tell your neighbor we were chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him.
-
Who works out everything?
-
Who works out everything according to the conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we who are the first to put our hope in Christ might be for the praise of his glory.
-
And you also are included in Christ.
-
When you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation, when you believed, you are marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is our deposit, guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession, to the praise of his glory.
-
This is God's word and God's people say amen.
-
We may be seated in God's house in Jesus' name.
-
Those watching us online, by the way, let's appreciate those watching us online.
-
We thank God for them and we know that there are some who have been watching online that have now come and traveled and are in the house.
-
So if you have been an online person, we really want to appreciate you and now that you are visiting, we thank God for you Again.
-
We want to highlight one or two.
-
They hosted me while I was in the US.
-
I want to thank God for Madame Rono, the fatherly bus.
-
Mama took it all.
-
Go.
-
God bless you so much.
-
Amen, we're glad you're here and Pastor Rono, by the way, he was a deconizer, a pastor, yes, hallelujah, and we thank God.
-
So, larry and this wonderful lady, thank you, jesus.
-
We'll get married.
-
Senior, I want to change mine, god bless, thank you, please be seated.
-
And Evelyn Jarogie is also here, all the way from Arizona, phoenix, amen, and also coming to celebrate one or two things in Jesus' name.
-
So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor what are you celebrating this December?
-
Okay, whatever they told you, god is good.
-
So tomorrow, the fourth, is Martha's birthday Hallelujah.
-
So we thank God for Martha and we bless her.
-
And on the sixth is my birthday Hallelujah.
-
Just tell your neighbor, don't be envious.
-
So we celebrate all those December babies and those December anniversaries, whatever they are.
-
We thank God that the Lord did not forget us while the year was ending.
-
He remembered us, but as if you were, so we thank God.
-
The message today is a blessing as we enter into a new month with a new theme.
-
This whole year we've been talking about empowered world changes and I want to say to you that you are an empowered world changer.
-
I'm saying you're an empowered world changer.
-
I'm saying you're an empowered world changer and I pray that, as this message comes out, apart from hearing the words I'm speaking.
-
You'll also get that what God is saying, because while God is speaking, while I'm speaking, there's a rumor word that comes your way, that one I cannot create.
-
Only God can create a rumor word that just hits you where you are.
-
I will do my part of giving the message.
-
Holy Spirit will do the best part of taking this word particularly arranged for you and connect it with you so that this word will cause you to come alive in Jesus' name, wherever you are, whatever situations you're facing.
-
When we talk about destiny, sometimes people wonder what destiny is this?
-
And God is a God of destiny because there's nothing that God does without a purpose.
-
One has fewer.
-
In Romans 828, the Bible says all things work together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
-
In other words, you are not an accident.
-
I'm saying you're not an accident.
-
I'm saying you're not an accident.
-
The devil may try to interrupt.
-
The devil may try to intercept.
-
The devil may try to do all kinds of things because he's that kind of a person.
-
When God created Adam and Eve, god placed him in the Garden of Eden and everything was going well until chapter 3, when the devil did what Showed up and he tried to derail God's destiny of mankind.
-
But you know something?
-
One of the amazing things about God is this Before he created Adam and Eve, god had already preplanned everything before the foundation of the world, and so God had a destiny, god had a plan, god had a purpose, god had a blueprint that could not be shifted and changed.
-
And so God called you into that play, into that drama of life, so that your life could glorify him.
-
None of you was created for hell, hello.
-
None of you was created for hell.
-
So sometimes, when you're upset and you're trying to tell somebody where to go, hello, just say go to heaven.
-
So don't tell them the other side.
-
God did not create us for that side.
-
You were created for heaven.
-
You were created for heaven.
-
And so when we talk about destiny, and especially about being a world changer, that that's what God has destined you to be.
-
God wants you to shine in this life.
-
Let me read this verse.
-
I read it in the first service.
-
Let me read it again Ephesians 2.10.
-
Let me read this one and God created us and he made us.
-
It says for we are God's handiwork, created where in Christ Jesus, to do good works.
-
You are created, handiwork, handpicked to do good works which God prepared, when in advance, for who for us to do?
-
Now let me read this same verse in the amplified version.
-
This is what it says in the amplified same verse about just adding a couple of words.
-
For we are his workmanship, his own masterwork, a work of art created in Christ Jesus, reborn from above, spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used for good works which God prepared for us beforehand, taking parts which he set so that we would walk in them, leaving the good life which he pre arranged and made ready for us.
-
Isn't that amazing?
-
That's what God did.
-
He predestined us.
-
So there's no life that God did not arrange, that God did not put together.
-
And so today I bring you good news.
-
You are important to God, you're special to God, doesn't matter what happened through the year, but God still had destiny for you, and the devil is not going to derail you in any way.
-
I want to declare to you today that you're going to finish the year strong.
-
I'm saying you're going to finish the year strong.
-
For some of you, there was no miracle January until November.
-
God is planning for yours this month, in Jesus name.
-
It's never too late.
-
God knows when to come in, because he knows what he has custom made just for you.
-
So it's my prayer, as I preach, that God will visit you and God will help you and take you to the next level.
-
In the name of Jesus Christ, the king of kings, as we talk about destiny, there are three things that I want to talk about today.
-
Number one is the destiny of redemption, number two the destiny of inheritance and number three the destiny of security.
-
I start again the destiny of redemption, the destiny of inheritance, the destiny of security, wrapped up in what we are talking about, empowered destiny.
-
All these are found in Ephesians, chapter 1.
Ephesians 1 chapter mention
-
Let me read about three verses verse 7, verse 11 and verse 13.
-
In the, in the new king James fashion and I want you to pick this particular statements.
-
Ephesians 1 7 says in him.
-
Those are the first statements in him, where in him?
-
Where in him.
-
Now look at verse 11.
-
Verse 11 says again in him, and then verse 13 says in him.
-
Our destiny is not trapped in anybody else, but in him, in him.
-
The Bible says therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he's a new creation.
-
The oldest passed away, behold the new house come in him, in him, in him, in him and Ephesians talks about being in Christ, because in him.
-
That's where our destiny is wrapped up.
-
Let me start with the first one destiny of redemption.
-
God is a redeeming God.
-
Tell your neighbor, god is a redeeming God.
-
The word redeem is made of two words.
-
The first word is re and the other word is deem.
-
Okay, so re, deem and God is a God of redemption, and God wants to redeem us.
-
The word redeem means to purchase, to buy back something that was yours and it was lost.
-
You buy it back, he redeems it.
-
Many, many years ago, when I was the youth pastor, I wasn't a youth pastor, was you?
-
I was young, but I was a pastor.
-
Tell your neighbor, amen, I was not a youth pastor, I was.
-
I started as an associate pastor, but I was young and so I was a youth and I was a pastor.
-
So that is a youth pastor who was an associate pastor.
-
Around that time we had very many young people who are coming to church.
-
As a youth leader, I also used to lead worship.
-
So I had a guitar and a wonderful guitar I am a guitar guitar that I love very much and one day one of our young people apparently he had.
-
He was very, also very talented in in guitar.
-
He was very good at playing that guitar.
-
So one day he comes and says for some rose, can you, can I, can I borrow this guitar and go home with it and I'll get it back to you?
-
And I said, no problem, since I know you and your part of this church, you can have the guitar.
-
So he took the guitar.
-
I said I'll bring it back in a week's time.
-
One week came and went, then another week came and went and also he also went hello, and I did not sing for some time and I started really getting up, upset about it.
-
I began becoming worried what happened to this guitar?
-
Because those days it was just that guitar and the piano, you know, and we didn't have any other instruments.
-
So one day I decided to go to town to a music store just to look at some instruments.
-
And so I go there on Mui Avenue and as I'm there I'm looking at some of the guitars there, I suddenly saw my guitar on the wall being displayed.
-
So number one.
-
I got very excited.
-
I said this is amazing.
-
God has answered my prayer.
-
So I went to the shopkeeper and I say that, excuse me, sir, I'm interested in that guitar.
-
And he said oh, you're interested in the guitar.
-
Fine, he brought it down.
-
I looked at it, for sure it was my guitar.
-
Then I told him this guitar is mine.
-
Now just put yourself in the shoes of that shopkeeper, because he's wondering who is this?
-
What is he coming to do here?
-
And I told him this guitar is mine.
-
And at that time I'm so passionate, I'm so excited that I've seen the guitar, and I said he needs to give it back to me.
-
He said I cannot give it back to you.
-
I say he said the person who came here signed and affidavit that this guitar is his and that's how I purchased it.
-
And now I'm selling it.
-
And if you knew, if you want it, you will need to buy it.
-
Of course, I could not buy it.
-
So I go to the assist to the senior pastor was a missionary and I said you know the guitar that we used to have.
-
I found it.
-
It's in town.
-
So we went to town with him.
-
So he sees the guitar and this shopkeeper is saying the only way you can have it is if you buy it.
-
And so the senior pastor pulls out money, he gives it to the shop keeper.
-
We bought the guitar that was ours back.
-
That guitar became a very different guitar because it was no longer just a guitar, it was a redeemed guitar.
-
Hallelujah, it was redeemed.
-
We had purchased it back and I want you to know that's what redemption is all about.
-
That God owned us and then one day the devil derailed us and we got lost.
-
And then Jesus God sent his son, jesus, to come and purchase us with his own blood.
-
Of course, god could have taken us anyway, because we belong to him, but he said no, I'm going to pay back and I'm going to purchase this.
-
And he purchased us with the blood of Jesus.
-
That is why you are special, that is why you're important.
-
As long as the guitar was on the wall, there was no music that would come out of it.
-
But the moment we purchased it and it came back into my hands, I was able now to release the music in my body into the guitar, to flow out.
-
And I want you to know that there's music you carry.
-
Their talents you carry, and the only way they can be played and released is if your life is back in God's hands.
-
Hallelujah is back in God's hands.
-
The talents you have are amazing.
-
The gifts that God placed in you are amazing.
-
But sometimes they don't come out.
-
They're in the devil's hands and the devil does not know how to play music and he's playing in the wrong key.
-
But I want you to know that God wants you back in his hands.
-
The Bible says in 1 Peter, chapter 1, verse 18, talking about what we were purchased with the destiny of redemption.
-
It says, for you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you are redeemed.
-
From the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, it says but with the precious blood of Christ, alarmed, without blemish or defect, you are bought back.
-
You are purchased by that amazing blood.
-
There's redemption and you know, god redeems us from many things.
-
God redeemed an entire nation from Egypt.
-
He got all of Israel and bought them out of Egypt and redeemed them through the desert, through the Red Sea, and brought them into the promised land.
-
God is a God of redemption.
-
Let me read some some of these verses.
-
In Isaiah 43 that talks about God loving you and God redeeming you.
-
It says this, but now this is what the Lord says who created you, jacob?
-
He who formed you, israel.
-
Do not fear, for I have done what.
-
I have redeemed you.
-
He says I have summoned you by name.
-
You are mine.
-
When God redeems you, he owns you.
-
You become his.
-
His party are purchased, and when you pass through the waters, I will be with you.
-
When you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
-
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned.
-
The flames will not set your blaze, for I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
-
I give Egypt for your ransom, cushioned Siba in your state.
-
Since your precious and honored in my sight, and because I do, I love you.
-
Let me tell you this you're redeemed.
-
I'm saying you're redeemed.
-
I'm saying you're redeemed.
-
You have been bought by the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
-
He knows how to redeem us.
-
He also knows how to redeem that which has been stolen from us.
-
He redeems that which the devil is trying to steal from us and take from us.
-
In the book of first Kings, in the book of second Kings, chapter 4, there was a story of the Shunammite woman.
2 Kings 4 chapter mention
-
You remember the story of the Shunammite?
-
Those are Shunammite woman.
-
The Bible says that Elisha used to pass there and this lady said you come and stay in my house.
-
And this, he stayed in that house.
-
And then pretty soon he asked does this woman have a child?
-
He says no, yeah, does she have a child?
-
Long story short.
-
This woman conceived and she got a child.
-
Many years later the Bible says this child grew up and this child died, got sick and died.
-
And so this woman runs to the man of God and says why have you, what have you, why have you done this to me?
-
And Elisha comes, sends Gehazi, gehazi, tries to do something.
-
Nothing happens.
-
But Elisha comes back and brings the boy back to life.
-
You see, god is a redeemer.
-
The devil may try to steal things from you, but he's a redeemer.
-
God is a redeemer, he will.
-
He will bless you.
-
He will bless you, he will bless you.
-
But a story I want to pick up is this in the time of Elijah, the famine was for how long?
-
I'm asking Elijah.
-
During the time of Elijah, the famine was for how long?
-
Three and a half years now.
-
During the time of Elisha, how long do you think the famine was?
-
Now tell your neighbor, god is a mathematician, hallelujah.
-
When Elisha asked for an anointing from Elijah.
-
What kind of anointing did he ask for Double.
-
What, basically, was saying Elijah?
-
What you did, I want to do Double.
-
So if Elijah had three and a half years of farming, now Elisha seven.
-
Tell your neighbor you're bright.
-
So, by the way, elisha just did double what Elijah did.
-
Now, when there was farming in the land, it affected everybody, including the Shunammite woman.
-
During that time, elisha advised her leave your house and go far until the farming is over.
-
Now I pick it now from 2 Kings, chapter 8, verse 1.
-
This is what the Bible says and I want to tell you this God will redeem that which is yours.
-
Now.
-
Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life go away with your family and stay far and stay for a while wherever you can, because the Lord has decreed a famine in the land.
-
That will last how long?
-
Seven years.
-
The woman proceeded to do as the man of God said.
-
She and her family went away and stayed in the land of the Philistines.
-
For how long?
-
Seven years?
-
The king was talking to Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, and had said now Gehazi is giving a testimony, tell me about all the great things Elisha has done.
-
Just as Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had restored the dead to life, the woman whose son Elisha had brought back to life came to appeal to the king for her house and land, and Gehazi said this is the woman, my Lord, the king, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
-
The king asked the woman about it and she told him.
-
Then he assigned an official to her case and said to him give back everything that belonged to her, including all the income from her land, from the day she left the country until now.
-
Now tell your neighbor God is interested in your house and if you have land, god is interested in your land.
-
And if you don't have land, you will have land.
-
You know, it amazes me that God cared about this woman, even in the family.
-
And some of you are going through a very difficult financial, financial and economical time.
-
Let me tell you, god will preserve you.
-
God will preserve you.
-
Come on, give God a big hand.
-
God will preserve you.
-
God is not depending on the economies of the world to handle you.
-
God is depending on his eternal riches in glory to handle you.
-
God will see you through, but to see that God could be able to look at this woman and her son and be able to say, while she was away seven years, somebody else had taken her house and taken her land and harvested for seven years, whatever during that famine, whatever it was happening.
-
And then she comes back to her house.
-
She's told you are not entering this house.
-
She goes to her land, she says this is not your land.
-
Then she goes to the king.
-
At such a perfect time when Gehazi is talking to the king about her.
-
I mean, god is God on my plan, god is God on my purpose.
-
God and I was going to engage you.
-
Importantly, god and I could do that, hallelujah.
-
So sometimes we complain and say oh God, you've forgotten me.
-
Oh God, you don't know.
-
You used to love me.
-
Now You're not loving me.
-
And God and I can be a maize what, what a kuzusham.
-
I'm telling you, god loves you.
-
So, no matter what you're going through right now, god is aware you may be going through a court case.
-
God is aware.
-
There's a member one time who stopped me after the service.
-
He said Ambrose, you cannot imagine what God has done for me.
-
He had been going through a court case, I think from 2010, until this year, and this year the case was thrown out.
-
Can you imagine Now?
-
You can imagine, through all that time, what he was going through.
-
And sometimes you reach a stage when you think God has forgotten you.
-
Let me tell you this God has not forgotten you.
-
God has not forgotten you.
-
I'm saying God has not forgotten you.
-
The other story that blows my mind is the story of Nebuchadnezzar.
-
When Nebuchadnezzar was trying to make himself big before God and say I have acquired all these things, god took off his mind and for seven years the guy lived like an animal.
-
The amazing thing is that during those seven years, nobody sat on his throne.
-
Let me tell you this If God is for you, nobody is going to sit on your throne.
-
Jesus name, god will preserve it because God is a God of destiny.
-
Seven years later, this guy has grown clothes.
-
His hair has grown out like feathers.
-
Then one day he has been eating grass.
-
How he managed to eat grass with one stomach, it blows my mind, because cows have how many stomachs?
-
Four.
-
Maybe God just created four more stomachs to just preserve the guy.
-
But the day he looked up and he acknowledged, god in his mind came back.
-
He was restored that same day on his throne.
-
Hallelujah.
-
That's the God of destiny, and if he can do it for a king who did not know him, he will do it for you, for you know him, for you know him.
-
I'm saying you know him.
-
So don't give up.
-
There is destiny in your life.
-
I'm saying there is destiny in your life.
-
I'm saying there is destiny in your life.
-
He's a redeeming God.
-
Look at this verse in Psalms 107.
-
The Bible says this because the whole Psalm talks about redemption.
-
Let me read it in the New King James Version here.
-
It says this Okay, new King James and KJV oh, give thanks to the Lord for his what, for his good, for his mercy, god's forever.
-
Then he says let the redeem of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy and gathered out of the lands from the eastern, from the west, from the north and from the south.
-
He goes on to say they wandered in the wilderness, in a desolate place they found go back.
-
They found no city to dwell in.
-
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted them.
-
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he did what.
-
He delivered them out of their distresses and he led them forth by the right way that they might go to a city for a dwelling place.
-
All that man would give thanks to the Lord for his goodness and for his wonderful works to the children of man.
-
God will do you good.
-
I'm saying God will do you good.
-
Things may be bad now, but God will do you good.
-
It is the thief who comes to do what To steal, kill and destroy.
-
God never does that.
-
God came that you may have life and have it abundantly.
-
So don't credit the bad things on God.
-
You know how insurances do this when there are these earthquakes and all kinds of things.
-
And then they say that is according to what?
-
The hand off of God.
-
God only, we are not covering you.
-
Let me tell you this Whether it is man, whether it is the devil, whoever it is, where God is, he insures you and he covers you in Jesus name.
-
He covers you, covers you, he covers you.
-
He'll remember you in Jesus name.
-
One time I had a vehicle and that vehicle got stolen.
-
Hello, by the time we were looking for it, that car had already passed the borders and gone and they had dismantled it and it disappeared.
-
Yanni, it just disappeared.
-
There's something he did not have.
-
What is it?
-
Let me tell you this when God redeems you and God says your mind, he put us to track on you and so, even if you are lost, wherever you are, god can see your movements.
-
God knows where the devil is placing you and he knows where he can find you.
-
There's a tracker inside you in Jesus name.
-
God will find you wherever you are.
-
Come on, let's give God a big hand.
-
Amen.
-
For some of you who are children have gotten lost from the path that you set for them.
-
They are just in places where they say Iry, iry.
-
When God says the children of the righteous shall be mighty in the land, god puts a tracker on your children and it doesn't matter where they go, god will find them.
-
God will find them, god will redeem them.
-
God will call them forth at the right time.
-
So don't worry about them.
-
Pray for them, be concerned about them, but God knows where they are and don't rebuke them, don't be there to just hustle them.
-
When they show up, then you're coming like this, you're wearing the way, you're wearing when, what is happening with you, no matter where these children go.
-
When you dedicated them before the king of glory, he put a tracker on them.
-
He put a tracker on them.
-
He's a redeemer.
-
My redeemer lives.
-
That's why Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost.
-
He has a destiny and the destiny is through the redemption of Jesus Christ.
-
Number two that destiny is through the inheritance, because when God redeems you, god gives you an inheritance.
-
Tell your neighbor I have an inheritance in Jesus' name.
-
Hallelujah the prodigal son.
-
You know the story of the prodigal son.
-
He comes to the father and says, father, give me what is mine.
-
And the father tries to dissuade him.
-
And this boy is just saying no, no, no, no, dad me, I'm tired with you.
-
Me, give me what is mine.
-
I want to go.
-
And the father obliges and he gives this kid and this child goes and squanders everything he was given.
-
What he didn't know is that the father loved him so much not to give him his inheritance.
-
He just gave him pocket change.
-
Hello, just gave him pocket change, because God is not foolish, the father is not foolish.
-
He will not give you an inheritance.
-
He knows that you're going to squander.
-
Just give him pocket change.
-
The guy goes to enjoy himself and he comes back.
-
He has nothing.
-
Now listen to what the Bible says in Luke, chapter 15, verse 20.
-
The Bible says this an amazing love story.
-
So he got up and went to his father.
-
But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him.
-
He ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
-
And the son said to him Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
-
I'm no longer worthy to be called your son.
-
But the father said to his servants quickly, bring the best robe, put it on him, put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet, bring a fattened calf and kill it.
-
Let's have a feast and celebrate, for this son of mine was dead and he's alive again.
-
He was lost and is found.
-
So they began to do a to celebrate.
-
You know, the amazing thing is this the father had kept for this son a robe, a ring and sandals.
-
That was the inheritance.
-
So go back quick, bring the best robe.
-
It's called the robe of righteousness.
-
This is what this kid needed to cover his shame, to cover his misdeeds, to cover his guilt.
-
A robe of righteousness, put a ring on his finger, a ring of authority over the issues of his father.
-
Then sandals.
-
Now, these are not sandals.
-
This is the same as sandals in Yinuva.
-
Those days, sandals meant a lot of things.
-
Sandals meant that you have authority to transact business.
-
And so this son came back a robe covered, a ring on his finger and sandals to transact his father's business.
-
This is the inheritance God was given, the father was given to this child, and I want you to know that in Christ you have an inheritance.
-
In Christ you have an inheritance.
-
I'm saying you have an inheritance in the name of Jesus Christ.
-
To the Israelites when they were redeemed.
-
Now listen to the inheritance God gave them In Deuteronomy, chapter 7, verse 12, the promises of God.
-
He promised them something.
-
This is what the Bible says in Deuteronomy.
-
He says if you pay attention to these laws as you go into the promised land and are careful to follow them, then the Lord, your God, will keep his covenant of love with you as he sought your ancestors.
-
And then he says he will love you.
-
Hallelujah, he will love you.
-
And then do what?
-
Increase your numbers.
-
He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land, your grain, new wine and olive oil, the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he sought your ancestors to give you.
-
The Bible says in verse 14, you will be blessed more than any other people.
-
None of your men or women will be wild Childless, nor will any of your livestock be without your own hands or be without young.
-
The Lord will keep you free from every disease.
-
He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will afflict them all, on all who do what.
-
I want to tell somebody here if you're a hater, if you're a hater, my friend, disease today, especially if you hate the people of God, it will boom around on you Badly, my friend.
-
Just look at your neighbor.
-
They may be sitting there combing their haters.
-
Just look at them, just check them out, hallelujah.
-
But thank God there are no haters in the house.
-
Somebody better give God a big hand and bless His holy name, amen.
-
So if you're a hater on social media, just send them that verse, because God told Abraham I will bless those who bless you and those who curse you I will curse.
-
It is a bad place to be when you fight against God's people.
-
Why, number one, he has redeemed you.
-
You are His.
-
He has put a tracker on you, and then he has given you an inheritance.
-
You are loved by God.
-
I'm saying you are loved by God and this year you're going to finish strong.
-
I'm saying you're going to finish strong in the name of Jesus Christ.
-
You're going to finish strong.
-
Satan cannot derail God's destiny for you, in the name of Jesus.
-
Have you knitted that?
-
Have you taken that?
-
Yes, sometimes you don't understand what God has given us.
-
Look at this prayer that Paul prayed Ephesians 118,.
-
Even as I begin to wrap up this message, the Bible says this Ephesians 118,.
-
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in His holy people and His incomparably great power.
-
For us who believe, that power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead.
-
You have an amazing inheritance.
-
I'm saying you have an amazing inheritance you have.
-
Your inheritance is composed of spiritual well-being.
-
It is composed of mental soundness.
-
I'm declaring none of your children will ever get mad.
-
In the name of Jesus Christ, they'll have a sound mind.
-
This inheritance is your physical health.
-
It's about kingdom resources coming your way.
-
It is about eternal life, that you shall not lack, that my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory.
-
Receive that in Jesus' name.
-
I'm saying receive that in Jesus' name.
-
You know, many times we define God by the circumstances that we are going through, rather than God defining Himself.
-
Despite the circumstances you're going through, god is God.
-
He's above your situation.
-
He's above your circumstances when you're walking in poverty, god where he sees His rich.
-
Your poverty doesn't define Him, but when you allow Him to be God, he will supply all your need according to His riches in glory.
-
Amen.
-
When you're sick, don't define God by your sickness.
-
Let God be Jehovah, rafa, and where he sits, he heals all your diseases and forgives all your sins.
-
In Jesus' name, he cleanses you, he crowns you with loving kindness, he renews your youth like the eagles.
-
In Jesus' name, let God be God, hallelujah.
-
Yes, don't define Him according to your circumstances.
-
Oh, my dad left me.
-
Oh, my mother doesn't like me.
-
Oh, my sisters.
-
And because they have done that, also God has left me.
-
Who told you?
-
Who told you?
-
God is watching over you.
-
God is God's destiny.
-
He's like a dog chasing a rabbit and the rabbit is going kitton and you know when the rabbit is going kitton, kitton, kitton, kitton, kitton, kitton the dog is also going kitton, kitton, kitton, kitton.
-
Just tell your neighbor kitton, kitton, kitton, kitton.
-
In other words, the dog is the rabbit.
-
Happen, happen, happen, happen, happen, happen.
-
That destiny of God is chasing you.
-
Happen, happen, happen, happen, happen, happen, happen, happen, happen.
-
His mark is on you.
-
Hallelujah.
-
You go, do evil, you come back to wickedness, but God knows that in the end he will lift you up.
-
That devil comes, destroys you here.
-
But I'm telling you God doesn't let go, he doesn't let go, he doesn't let go.
-
His destiny is on you.
-
And one day God will lift you up and say I have redeemed Him, I have redeemed her In Jesus' name.
-
He is mine.
-
I have ever gone to a parking lot and found somebody's car that air has come out of their wheels.
-
Have you?
-
Did you think about it?
-
Of course you didn't.
-
You went into your own car and drove off, because that particular car is not yours.
-
But when the owner arrives and finds there is a flat tire, he does something about it Because that car is his and because you are God's.
-
And he finds you with a flat tire, he stops and does something about it.
-
You are his.
-
You are his.
-
Come on somebody.
-
You are his.
-
You are redeemed in Jesus' name, amen.
-
And I want to finish by saying this If God redeems you and then God gives you an inheritance, there is only one other place God can do he secures you, hallelujah.
-
If you are redeemed and you have had inheritance, then God goes ahead and does what.
-
He puts a security lock on you.
-
So let me read that security lock and then we shall pray Ephesians 1.13.
-
The Bible says this and you also are included in Christ when you had the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation, when you believed.
-
You are mocked in him with a seal the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession to the praise of his glory.
-
Let me read this in the amplified version Verse 13.
-
The Holy Spirit is your lock of security.
-
He says this one more time In him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and, as a result, believed in him.
-
You are stamped with a seal of the promised Holy Spirit, the one promised by Christ, and it was because now God has owned you and protected you.
-
Hallelujah, verse 14.
-
The Spirit is the guarantee, the first installment, the pledge, our foretaste of our inheritance until the redemption of God's own purchased possession, his believers, to the praise of his glory.
-
Hallelujah, tell your neighbor I am secure in Christ.
-
Now don't try to secure yourself.
-
You know some people get saved.
-
You're trying to secure yourself.
-
You're trying to tell yourself I'm not going to do bad things.
-
I'm not going to do bad things.
-
You know, and that's what one day happened to me, when I got saved.
-
I told myself now I feel righteous, you know, I just, I just feel good.
-
And that particular time I had also been confirmed.
-
That Bishop had put his hands on me and I was just feeling holy.
-
And for three weeks I just walked around feeling holy.
-
I was just feeling nice.
-
And then somebody chakras at me, said Ambrose, you think you're so holy?
-
I said, yeah, I'm holy.
-
You think you're righteous?
-
I said I'm righteous and he just started poking his finger on me.
-
And he was poking fingers on me.
-
There was a acadodoo that started rising from here.
-
My anger started popping up and it came up.
-
And as he continued, I told him but leave me alone, leave me alone.
-
And by that time my hands had gone out and my anger blew and my hands came back.
-
I gave that guy a double slap.
-
He was so shocked and he said you are saved.
-
I said I'm saved.
-
You're the one who started.
-
You should not have started this and after that you feel so guilty that you are saved.
-
Now you have slapped somebody.
-
But you see, your salvation is not secured by your good deeds.
-
It is sealed and secured by the Holy Spirit.
-
Hallelujah, hallelujah, you're secure, don't worry about it.
-
Will I make it to heaven?
-
No, you will make it to heaven.
-
You are not saved to go to heaven.
-
You are saved to live your life here on earth and let others know that Christ redeems.
-
Later you'll go to heaven, that's okay.
-
But God wants you to live your life here.
-
Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
-
You have a destiny.
-
You have a destiny.
-
I'm talking to somebody there.
-
You have a destiny.
-
You have a destiny in Jesus' name.
-
I'm talking to somebody.
-
I'm saying you have a destiny.
-
I'm talking to somebody online.
-
You have a destiny.
-
You are destined by the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
-
God has put you on a flight path and the destination is secure.
-
Every security system is put in place and you'll finish your course.
-
You'll finish this year strong.
-
In Jesus' name, come on somebody.
-
You better give God a big hand, hallelujah.
-
So to look at your neighbor one more time and tell your neighbor I am destined by God, I am redeemed, I have an inheritance, I am secure and if you don't believe it, I don't care.
-
In Jesus' name, come on somebody.
-
Glory to God.
-
Have you needed this message?
-
Yes, now stand on your feet.
-
Immediately after this is I'm praying.
-
We are invited for just a time of fellowship, so don't be in a hurry.
-
We are heading to the garden's.
-
Koinonia.
-
The word Koinonia, especially for people from western I want to just help you.
-
Koinonia, especially the Luya's, hallelujah.
-
Koinonia is not that word usually said in Kuluya or Kuinonia.
-
That's not the word.
-
Kuinonia means to Kuaribu.
-
Yes, koinonia is not an English word, it is a Hebrew, it's a Greek word which means a fellowship, and in this fellowship, we have also been told, is a small swallowship.
-
Thank you, jesus.
-
We'll be heading there.
-
Our visitors will be heading where?
-
To the White Tent Right here.
-
If you're visiting, you'll be hosted there.
-
The rest of us are going out there, but I want to tell you this that December is going to be a great month for you.
-
I'm saying December is going to be a great month for you In Jesus' name.
-
God has packed this month not just with Christmas.
-
He has packed this month with precious treasures that he wants to deposit in your life.
-
So be ready to receive them, hallelujah.
-
So look at your neighbor.
-
Do they look destined?
-
Now ask your neighbor if you look destined.
-
Amen, hallelujah.
