2023-08-30_Wednesday Service. Answering the Divine Call: Exploring the Power of Belief and Obedience. With House group Pastor, Pastor Andrew Machina

day in the Lord's house is better than a thousand days elsewhere.

The Bible tells us also, and so you're in the right place and God had made it possible for you to be here.

For those who are joining us online, we welcome you.

For those who will be even watch this service later, may God, may you be able to connect with the word, may you be able to connect and understand what God hurt for you this very day and I believe this past Andrew Maschine aspect you have said, and I testify that orders my personal savior, and today I'm excited to bring to you the word of God and I believe that we will not live the same way.

Amen, that is a word for each and everyone of us this very day and therefore, on behalf of the leadership of the church I revered Ambrose, pastor Simon and the entire leadership I'm honored and I thank you for your service.

I serve in the house group ministry and I know some of you are in house group.

Those who are not in house group, let's meet behind the tent after this Hallelujah.

I want us to share the word today and, in honor of God's word, I request that, as we'll be reading this, we'll be studying.

We are in the month of empowered, partial empowered calling, and we'll be reading this and this is the call of Moses.

And so may I read verse one to ten and say it.

And now Moses was telling the flock of Jedro his father in law, the priest of Median, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

There, the edge of the road appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush.

Moses saw that, though the bush was burning.

He saw that the bush was burning.

So Moses thought I'll go over and see this trade site, while the bush does not burn up when there are also that he had gone over to look, god called to him from within the bush, moses, moses.

And Moses said here I am.

Do not come any closer.

God said take off your sandals, for the place where you are studying is holy ground.

Then he said I am afraid to look at God.

The Lord said I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt.

I have had them crying out because of their slave drivers and I am concerned about their suffering.

So I have come down to rescue them from the heart of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that lad into a good and spiritual place.

I have come down to rescue them from that lad into a good and spacious lad, a lad flowing with milk and honey, the home of the heites amorites.

And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them.

So now go, I'm sending you to Egypt.

Out of Egypt, may we pray.

Almighty Father, we thank you for your word.

You tell us, father, that your word brings light and brings understanding, even to the simple King of King, I submit myself to your authority.

I invite your Holy Spirit, o dear Lord, to govern my speech that, even as I share your word, father, it will bring light, it will be a good seed that will fall to the right soil of our father and it will grow, germinate and bear even these seeds.

I ask you to be with me, amen.

Thank you again for the suffering online.

Thank you for those who are in the campus.

Thank you again those who will be able to watch it many, many more days after this old year.

May it be live that to continue flowing, even in the season and times that we are into, how we worship you, how we praise you In Jesus name.

We pray Amen and amen, let's be.

When I was reflecting about the theme for this month, empowered calling, prepared passion, and I was preparing this I was thinking what would be the message, what would be the title of my message this very evening?

Empowered calling, and I give it a title of excuse me, you have a missed call.

How many have a missed call today?

You received a, you got a missed call and you haven't responded.

I see several hearts.

We're in that season and I know quite a number of us.

You receive a call or you see a missed.

Maybe you're in a meeting, or maybe you are in a noisy place and you return and I'll call you back.

And sometimes, maybe you forget, isn't it?

Maybe you say you call at night, you realize the time you are calling, you don't have credit and you defy it to another time.

And so I was saying how many times maybe God has come close to us, has called us, has come with a different sign and we missed it, and it's a call that we need to return.

And so, this very evening, as we share on this word, I want us to reflect on this you have a missed call, and what does a missed call means?

It's a two way.

When you have a call, someone wanted to speak to you, so you need to hear what they are saying.

Maybe it was a good message, maybe it was a message of a bad message, but you don't know.

So this is an aspect of hearing and because you are able to hear, you have the ability to hear.

This is a call and you expect it to hear.

Second is about maybe someone to remind you.

Do you remember we have a meeting?

Do you remember we have a great ABCND?

But maybe you didn't receive that call.

You ignored that call.

Maybe someone wanted to give you an idea, a vision, an opportunity, a great opportunity, and you missed it.

Maybe someone wanted to reveal to you of danger, of uncoming danger, but you ignored and you have a missed call that you need to return.

So turn to your neighbor and tell them you have a missed call.

You have a missed call from our father and maybe this missed call you needed to return by praying in your meditation this very morning and because you woke up late, you missed that, isn't it?

You missed the Arabad prayers that happens every Wednesday from five to six.

Maybe you missed that, maybe in your day to day when you do your Bible study.

Maybe you missed that, but, thank God, you are in the house of God today and so you are in the right place, amen.

So let's celebrate God because we are in the right place.

We will be able to connect with him, we will be able to return this missed call and be able to relate and understand what God intended for us this very day.

And so we have seen the call of Moses, and God, when he's calling Moses, he's at a very old age.

Remember Moses, even where he is now.

He was learning away, but God knew him Way before even he was born.

God had interred his purpose and his reason for him to be alive.

Remember the promise God had given his servant Abraham, that he knew you'd be a great nation, that you are descendant, to be in slavery for 400 years, and thereafter I will rescue them and take them to the promised Lord.

So it wasn't a by the way.

So God is a God of order and plans.

So even before Moses, when Moses and you, remember the birth of Moses, how it was as a child, how he was Eden.

He grew up in Fellows we can call it State House or Palace, but still that was God preparing him for the future that he knew nothing about.

At this juncture, we are seeing Moses at his old age, god intervening that.

I have had the cry of my children.

The time is now.

I want you to go and meet fellow and tell him this and this and this.

Therefore, we are here, maybe in the marketplace, maybe in the business place, I don't know what you do, where you are.

Moses was and remember when he was running away.

Now he's turning his father in road chedro ship and he thought this is my way of life.

But now his little assignment, his little purpose of why God created him is revealed now in his call, when he's almost eight years.

That's when God is now revealing unto him why he created him.

But maybe he could have thought I was created to take care of the ship, though he was well educated, he was an event in the knowledge of the Egyptian technology.

But as life as it was turned around and he found himself tethering to the ship of his father in law, which is a very awkward moment, actually, where you are tethering your father in rules, but the reason, you know the relation between the father in rules and mother in law.

This is where Moses is.

But now God reviews unto him why he created him Most of the time.

Sometimes we find ourselves into that.

You say maybe I was created as God purpose for me to be a teacher.

You continue serving as a teacher until maybe almost to your retirement time.

God reviews unto you why he created you.

There's a turn around of your life and you find that I was created to teach children in sand school.

I was created to take care of the less destitute in our society.

That's where we are and, as I always say, I wish, when we are doing, or rather descending to the word of God, we personalize it and we bring it back home and do it for us to understand.

And I'll give a story.

I was reading this story and I felt it would be good if we share it together About this pastor who was preparing for the following.

It was on a Saturday, so he was preparing for a sermon for Sunday the following day and, as we said, he realized he would be a bit late and so he needed to call the wife and tell the wife that he would be late.

And so it was on a Saturday night.

A pastor was working late and decided to call his wife before he left for home.

It was around 10 pm but his wife didn't answer the phone.

So the pastor let it linger many times.

He thought it was odd that he didn't answer, but decided to wrap up a few things and try again in a few minutes.

When he tried again, she answered right away.

He asked her why she hadn't answered before and she said that it hadn't long at the house.

You know the way you can pose a cashew joke and he brushed it off as a fluke and went on their merry ways.

The following Monday now the Saturday came, the pastor preached and he continued with his daily routine.

So on Monday the pastor received a call at the church office, which was the phone that he had used that Saturday night.

The man that he spoke with wanted to know why he had called on Saturday night.

The pastor couldn't figure out what the man was talking about.

Then the man said it rang and rang, but I didn't answer.

The pastor remembered that mishap and apologized for disturbing him, explaining that he intended to call his wife.

So there was a missed call.

The man said that's okay, let me tell you my story.

You see, I was planning to commit suicide on Saturday night.

But before I did I prayed God.

If you are there and you don't want me to do this, give me a sign now.

At that point my phone started to ring.

I looked at the caller ID sometimes we call it true caller and it said Almighty God.

I was afraid to answer.

The church that the pastor ministers is called Almighty God Tabernacle, and that's how that gentleman came back with a testimony Amen.

And I felt that ministering to my heart.

Sometimes those missed call and you know, pastor Rick, there's a time I was setting an impasser and I missed that digit and it went to a quote, unquote, wrong number.

And so when I realized, you know, when you say, oh, what have I done?

So I called that number and on the other side responded very fast.

I said, oh, thank you, my son, god have used you.

And she said to an elderly lady and I felt maybe she had prayed and God used me for her blessing Amen.

So each and every one of us, when God wants to do something, his promises are yes and amen.

And God has so many promises that he promised and when you want to accomplish that promise, he will use you and me.

And so most of the time, the call that God called and God calls is not that we minister to ourselves, it's not that we become a minister, a blessing to the others.

And so, even here, you are listening.

Why?

What is this call that God wants to me?

What is this miss call that God want me to do?

Is that you become a blessing to someone else?

I don't know what is that.

I don't know what you interred on, what you desire, but when we pray, when we meditate, the Bible says Psalms 24, verse 192, the earth and its fullness belongs to God.

This included, we belong to God.

So God desires that his people have to have life.

He desires us to have life and have it in abundance.

In John 10.

However, the enemy is at work at night and deprive them, deprive us these abundance through various afflictions, like the children of Israel.

For 400 years they were in bondage, and you remember the story of the children of Israel.

They left their home country and they settled in Egypt, goshen, when they were just 70, 400 years is quite a number of years and so they grew in numbers, and so the generation in the Egyptians forgot that it's through this family that they were able to bring hope restoration.

For 14 years, when Joseph was in leadership, they forgot about that.

They started now mistreating this family, the children of Jacob, the children of Israel.

They started mistreating them.

They started, they became slaves and it was painful and they got to a point.

Now they started crying unto God.

I don't know, sometimes Africa, actually, we don't have that background where you can be able to tell how was my grandfather, my mom, my great great grandfather, the relationship they had with the God?

Why do we do the way the things, the way we do them?

Maybe there's a promise that God has promised within your DNA, within your lineage, that you be in your, in this family.

You'll be great in this and this and this.

Unfortunately, sometimes in our in, in this, in this side of the continent, we don't have that.

But the children of Israel, they were very clear with the promises God had promised.

And to them.

And now you see them walking and God seeing, and God now saying the time is up.

Now I will restore and I will give my promises that I promised them is the time to bring them to play, to, to be, and that's when he uses one man called Moses.

Maybe when you reflect from where you come from your family, you can be able to tell this is what God had for us.

My great great father, my great great mother had say this and this and that and we used to do well, but somehow we lost it.

This is the year that we stagnated for the children of Israel.

They stagnated for 400 years.

They had grown in numbers.

God had blessed them and it got to a point actually where now even the, the, the Egyptians, they will started now applying the, the bad control.

And that's when you see the Moses being born and saying that every male child is born should be killed.

That's how the children of Israel they are fighting themselves into.

I don't know some of the limitation you'll be coming along with from where you come from.

Maybe some are very, very there, you can see them literally, but even you don't know how you are to.

You ask, god said that's our Moses of our time, in my family, in our country, and sometimes even nations stagnate for years.

The promises of God yes, you were supposed to be a number of abadans and you struggle, you strain.

You remember this church for many times of the, for many years we used to buy water, isn't it?

Every, every week, we get a a bosa, a water bosa.

But we didn't know how to go about this.

But one day, one time, we realized we have a lot of a good aquifer and when we the, the borehole was dug here.

Now we have a lot of water that even now is pocketed.

Accounting function reader not yes, arrervess, max, you in.

But what was there?

Before we even came to this place, the water was still there, the solution was still there, but somehow we were blinded.

But until the appointed time, god made it possible, amen.

Sometimes, even in our families, in our situation, in our areas, we stagnate as a certain point, thinking that the solution will come from a different direction or from a different person.

But the solution is within ourselves and therefore Moses, one of them, one of their own, is the one God will use to go and face fellow and tell them the time is up now and God, you see God giving him direction and what, what to do.

So when God calls, not only tells you to go, he also equips you, he also dialects you what to do, what to say, and you can see this conversation happening if you continue reading the story of Moses.

That call how they are conversing with God.

If they ask me who I am, who you are, what do I tell them?

And God answers him I'm not good in speech.

He tells me no, don't worry, I'm the one who made it to that way.

But because you seem like you are not that much, I'll give you a brother to go along with you.

So when God calls you, he equips you, he gives you the direction on what you need to do, amen.

And so, when I was reflecting that, I wanted us to just to see four aspects about what we were able to see from this calling.

One is that an empowered hearing.

When God speaks and I said it's a two-way traffic God is speaking.

We need to hear.

Are you in a place whereby you can be able to hear and understand?

This is God talking.

This is God calling, directing me to do this and this, or you are busy, not understanding.

What you need to Is a year.

59, verse one and two, says don't think that the Lord is too weak to save you or too deaf to hear your call for help.

It is because of your sins that he doesn't hear you.

It is your sin that separates you from God when you try to worship him.

The Bible says, and we read that God has had the cry of the Israelites.

I don't know what is that you have been crying upon unto the Lord.

May God hear your cry now.

Amen.

May God hear your cry.

Is that child, is that relationship, is that family issue?

May God hear your cry and be restored back.

He's not deaf.

That's what the Bible says, that's what the year was telling us.

He's not deaf not to hear us.

He's able to hear us and therefore, when we gather, when you call unto him in your closet, when you call him, when you are driving, whenever you shall be, may God hear you, not only hear you.

May he answer you with clarity and hear.

God is telling me to do this that you not even consult.

You'll be able to show that to the voice of God and he's directing me to turn left.

And when you not shy and you go that direction, amen, because God is God, who is real, he is alive and he's a God of the living.

Amen.

So may we trust him, even as we come into this kind of a fellowship, at wherever we are, at our family level, when we call unto him.

May he, may we be able to hear as he speaks.

The second one is that an empowered remembrance?

That the first one is an empowered hearing.

That may we be able to discern, to hear what God is saying, even when we call unto him.

Is that to him?

We call unto him, he hears.

He's a hearer, so you're not deaf and he will respond.

So, as we call unto him, may we not be like the early church in our chapter 12, when they had one of their own was arrested, they continued praying, but when he was released and he was knocking on the door, they couldn't believe.

May we be a church that believes that God answers prayers, that when you raise hands to the one who are sick, when you release your children as they go to school, as they open the third term of this year, that you know that God will take care of them, god will protect them and they shall be able to unite back again if they're in boarding schools when they close in October or in November.

Amen, because you have prayed and you have believed so In the issue that you pray for God hears and also he will respond to you by talking hours away.

May you decide to hear what God is saying.

Second, is that an empowered remembrance?

Not that God forgets, no, he says I've heard the cry of the children of Israel and I have remembered them and therefore he remembered the covenant he had with Abraham and his sons, that is, isaac and Jacob.

Psalms 158 he says he'll keep his covenant forever, his promises for a thousand generations.

Amen.

Isn't it sweet to say that, god?

Even when I'm out of this world, my generation after me, a thousand graders in comeback, they continue enjoy the goodness of God Because he's a God who keeps his covenant.

He's not like a man.

For me, I may promise you this, and because I'm limited, I may not be able to, but for God he's not a limited God.

Amen.

So he remembers, he keeps his covenant and his promises forever.

Psalms one, two, five, verse eight and you remember, god also remembered Noah in Genesis, chapter eight, verse one, after the rain, and maybe that one we can, media team, we can display.

Yes, verse eight, verse one.

But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the ricehock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a weed over the earth and the waters receded.

God remembered Noah.

May God remember you this very evening.

May God remember you in the season that we are into.

What is that that you have been crying.

We are almost coming to the month of September.

We have cried to God, we have called unto him for the last eight months.

Nine is the month of birth.

May something new be birthed in your spirit.

May something new be birthed in your situation, because God will remember you, because God remembers, not that he forgets.

He say, oh, this is the fire of so and so May it be addressed now with his.

A promotion that could have taken two years or five years for you to maybe to do this.

And this God somehow turns things out and you find that promotion coming your way, a project that would have taken 10 years to complete.

God brings a breakthrough and you find it completing within a year Because God has remembered and has favored you and merited favor.

God remembers the story of Hannah who prayed, and the Bible says and God remembered Hannah and opened her up, and opened her when she cried unto the Lord.

God not only knows the tears of our eyes when we call unto him.

The Bible says he remembered Hannah and opened her up and she conceived and that's how somewhere came to be A child of destiny.

What is that?

What is that to that?

You wanted to be opened.

What is that that you have been desiring?

You have been praying for the last eight months.

Now you are getting into the month of September.

May you believe in God that there's a new thing that is happening within your life.

May you come and you say before the end of September comes to a net, I'll come back with a testimony.

I'll come with a baby.

Nothing, a baby.

Quote unquote.

A new project will be birthed that you never thought about.

Amen.

Because God remembers, may he remember you in the season that we are into, just as he remembered his servants, because he never changes.

He's the same yesterday, today and you can go on and on.

You remember Sarah, you remember Rachel.

They were buried for many years, but one day God remembered them, even in old age.

It doesn't matter which level you are into in your life, it doesn't matter what is the level of your education.

If God remembers you, if God remembers you, that visa, that passport, that promotion will come for his glory.

And as it is comes, may you notice the one who have done it.

Amen.

If it's that tinct of you and you are doing now I think I don't have much paper, I don't have much experience you have the one who created the world with you.

Moses said unless you go with us, we are not living here.

It's just September 14th and that's how God was able to direct Moses even to an area that he has never been into, even if he got himself an expert of the desert.

Where he was being taken through.

It was more tough, but because he was with God, he was able to take the entire nation of Israel to their promised land.

He was able to direct even to teach Joshua later on, even to take over the mantle, and they were able to go to the land.

That was who was thinking?

The land of the promised land?

The heavies, the Jebusites and the Pashaabus we always say the parasites, all those, those who are giants, those who are giants.

But because God was with them, they were able to take, to get the promised land.

What is that you have been feeling?

Starting that project, starting that business, applying that job.

May you go with boldness because God is with you, amen.

The first thing is about empowered hearing.

Empowered second, empowered remembrance.

That God who remembers Psalm 705, verse eight.

The third one is about the empowered God revision.

May God open our eyes to see what he is able to.

He has already delivered unto us.

Sometimes we walk here, we can be able to see, but you can only see the physical.

We are not able to see the spiritual angle.

And you remember Elisha and his servant.

One day they were surrounded by the enemies and the servant was worried and he went to walk Elisha who was sleeping, and he told my master, we are surrounded by the enemies and Elisha, I think he woke up, smiled and said God, open his eyes.

What are those eyes that you need to be opened?

And when his eyes were opened, he was able to see that those who are for them were more than those who are against them.

Isn't that sweet to have that kind of a vision, a God revision.

Can you be able to see what God sees in you?

Can you Don't see yourself limited, that I can only be able to do this, kidogo, I can only be able to get here.

May you be able to say I can be able to go further and further.

We are in the year of the empowered world changer.

Can you see that he is, I'm gonna be, a world changer of my time, of my generation?

Are you able to see that?

The God revision and empowered God revision, that what God sees us as Sometimes we are limited and unfortunately, because maybe where we grew up, on how we were brought up and parcerics.

One of the things that amaze me is, for example, when you hear people like Lord Egerton and I can say this because last week I was on those sides and when you observe that vision that white set her head when he was building that house for the girl, for her to come to Africa.

He was building a castle and you pass the reason a castle is a be, it's a Himagas, it's not 10 room house, so it's worth more than 200 rooms.

That's a great vision.

That's something build our imaginations, particularly on this side of the continent.

If anyone, you have resources there, build a 10 bedroom house and if you have done it well, you go to Windsor in UK Windsor and you can go and see the castle itself has a thousand plus rooms.

And what was this vision?

What do they see that we cannot be able to see on this side?

When you have seven bedroom house and you are worried, you cannot even be able to clean it, and when you see Windsor and I was watching the body of the queen, even the loan itself, the loan itself, even the one that we live, I think.

Three meters by three meters, that's where you do flowers.

Then they do two acres, the alone of two acres.

And there's something that we need to open.

We need to open our eyes to see what he calls us to.

That's what unlimited means.

May we work with unlimited mindsets.

That's how we can become a empowered world changer.

But if you see that we cannot be able to, we only record to be in West Therese or in Kenya or in Kenoa or Kagemias or in the Sahabras, or I say, can we see ourselves build that?

Can you see your generation saying my son, my daughter, I will not educate them in this country, and start visualizing that?

And then you see who's in other overseas and see that's where they go to impact the world.

May our eyes be opened, just like the Elisha's servant.

His eyes were open.

Those who are for them were more than those who agonized them.

An empowered vision.

An empowered vision, and therefore all Christians are called to belong to Christ and to participate in his redemptive work in the world.

When it comes to calling, what matters most is not one's job, status or place of work, but obedience to God, the one who calls us.

Are you ready to answer God's calling.

And on the reflecting about that, I thought about Hagar, the maid of Abraham, and Sarah.

And you know the story of that girl, that young lady who was sent away by Abraham, the conversation they had with God whatever your wife tells you to do, you do unto her.

And the wife, sarah, told Abraham, said her away.

Abraham packed some food and some water and he sent her away with the sun ish mile.

And it got to a point everything they had got finished, the water and the food, and she realized now it's our dead head, as as painful as it is for mothers.

She couldn't watch the sun die and so she walked a distance and the baby says and God had the cry.

And God had the cry of the sun.

And he told Hagar what to do, obesis.

Even in that circumstances, god already knew who Hagar was.

You may not tell me, I'm just a simple secretary.

You know me.

I'm a simple secretary.

You know me.

I'm just someone who is hustling here and there.

God doesn't know me.

If God knew Hagar in those circumstances, I made Abraham's made and he promised them you'll be a great generation, your generation will be mighty.

And with obedience they were saved, they were able to see A what A well a stream that was going on in the desert, and that's how their life was saved.

That is in Genesis, chapter 21, verse 14 to 21.

Genesis 21:14–21

Maybe media we can give us that as we read Genesis 21.

And in the next morning, this is Abraham.

Now what he did.

He took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar.

He set them on her shoulders and she went to the boy.

She went on her way and wandered in the desert of Beersheba.

When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy at one of the bushes.

Then she went off and sat down about a bush or two way, for she thought I cannot watch the boy die.

And as he sat there she began to sob.

God had the boy crying and the age of God got to Hagar.

God already knew her by name.

God himself did not be afraid, just the way he told Joshua when Moses died.

God had the boy crying and as he lies there, lift the boy up.

Are you abigions enough to do this?

Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.

What a promise.

Then God opened her eyes.

Amen, god did do.

What?

Was she bright?

No, so which eyes were these that were open, spiritual eyes?

May God open your spiritual eyes.

Some of the solutions you have been looking for.

They are within you.

You just need to open the spiritual eyes to see that opportunity and you grab it and you learn with it and new and newer generations will never suffer again, amen.

So may God give you that liberation.

And God has wordesthered his word to see what you need to do at any given time, at any given circumstances that you are going through.

Then God opened her eyes and she saw a wear of water.

So the wear was still there.

The wear was still there and she was not able to see it before.

Which is that well that you, it's within your closet, within where you are, that you need to see, that you need wordesthered.

So she went and filled the skin with water and did what?

And gave a boy a drink.

Which is that well are you looking for?

For you are to be quenched, to quench your thirst and the generation after you.

For God was with the boy as he grew up.

He lived in the desert and became and got away from Egypt.

They got away from Egypt and the generation continues and continues Obesity.

Are you obedient enough even to see when the eyes are open to do what God is telling you to do?

And empowered God?

Revision.

That's something I desire on a daily basis To see what God is seeing.

What is God seeing for the nation of Kenya, for the nation of Africa, in the time we are into, for this generation?

The reason where we are young I believe there is none here with above 60 years, let me see you see.

So there is a reason why God created us and we made it as possible to be born at this time and age.

What is that that we need to accomplish in our time, so that we don't just live for the sake of living, we accomplish his purposes and his divine plans, not for our own, not for our self alone, for his promises and the others, because each and every one of you is a destiny and we are not here to hide along you for someone else.

But now, if we don't know our self, we don't have that reality and understanding.

Even the other's perish because of us.

May God help us, may God reveal unto us.

May God open our eyes to see which well is within our closet.

Amen.

You remember the story of the we do in the Zeraphat in the book of Kings, chapter 17, when she obeyed what she was told by Elijah and her generation was saved because of obedience, nothing more, just the obedience of doing what preparing a meal and when she was told the flour and the oil will remain, will never be finished.

And because of that, obedience continued to flow.

The same with the Elijah, with the Shunamite woman in 2 Kings, chapter 4, verse 1 to 7, the same obedience.

2 Kings 4:1–7

And so obedience is very key.

It's very key and critical and it affects generations.

If you obey the generation after you and we read it in Psalms 105 a thousand generations because of one person who obeyed, a thousand generations.

Because of Peter obeying the call in his, in his trade, where he was a fisherman, because of him just obeying to give Jesus his boat.

Here we are because of obedience of one.

The same happened if the disobedient happens, the vice-versa.

If you disobey the call, if you disobey the assignment, you see that, miss Cosby, I'm not returning that call.

I had it very well.

I know this call.

They won't tell me this and this and you ignore.

Let me tell you the repo effected with Isu Daya.

Isu Daya.

May God help us.

May God help us, amen.

And so we have seen how Hagia did and how she cried unto the Lord Hellow, loy, eroy, the God who remembers, the God who sees.

So God knows you.

God knows you not only by your address, knows you by your name.

He addressed Hagia by name.

Not only that, he says in the year 49, verse 16, that he has engraved our names on his palm.

Engraving and you know, engraving is very, not writing engraving is those people, for example, those who do tattoos.

If you do a tattoo, you can't be able to undo, it doesn't have an undo, it's permanent.

And says I have engraved your name on my palm.

I went, I went, we loved.

Yeah, see, I have engraved you on my palms, on my hearts.

Your words are ever before me.

You are also ever.

That's a good memory of us.

You can memorize and teach your children.

For us who are believers, he says in Revelation, chapter 20, verse 12, of that our names are in the book of life.

Revelation 20:12

Our names are in the book of life.

What an assurance, what an assurance that we are not here for the sake of it all.

It's a plan, it's a purpose for each and every one of us, from God himself.

He sees, he knows even the numbers of our hairs.

I know that's very deep, that's very deep.

That's the mother, chapter 10 verse, that he knows the number of our hairs.

There is no technology actually to date, and I think if you're able to invent one that can be able to count the number of hairs in your head or in your body, you become a trillionaire.

In this world that we are living in, there's none, there's none.

But God knows the number of your hairs.

So when, in the morning, when you are coughing this way and one falls, he knows his abstracts.

That's the God who calls us by our names.

That's the God who knows us.

That's the God who created us.

Why don't we worship him more and more, seek him more and more, and we shall fight him, amen.

He knows us by our names.

He knows us by our names.

He will never forsake us.

He says in Matthew, chapter 6, verse 25 to 34.

Matthew 6:25–34

He will never forsake us.

How can that dire need?

God remembered her and he called her by name.

May God remember you tonight.

May God remember you in your situation.

When you call unto him, may he respond with your name and with the clarity and may you come back with a testimony of what the Lord has done.

And I'm hoping we'll be having even testimony when is this Easter eggs, some of the members coming here to testify what the Lord has done who, god?

Who have healed you?

Or you read a hand to someone and they got healed because he's able.

He never changes.

The God who was on miracles then is still the same God today.

So today, actually, we're supposed to be having more miracles happening in our day, life, in our situation.

The fourth one, as we come to almost to a conclusion, is that God gives us a revelation and empowered God's revelation.

Why?

But we're not living for the sake of living.

God divises and revelation and he says in the year 46, verse 9 to 10.

Remember what happened in the past?

Think about what took place long ago.

I am God.

There's no other God.

I am God, there's no one like me.

Before something even happens, I announce how it will end.

In fact, from times long ago, I announced what was still to come.

I say my plan will succeed.

I'll do anything I want to do.

May we work with his insight and liberation.

May we have a discerning spirit so that he can direct us, and may we be obedient to know that we are not walking blightly God will give us a liberation on what we need to do.

And sometimes, for those who are in marriage, and if later on you realize how, if you sit down and reflect how I met, how you met your spouse or your partner, and maybe you are celebrating those few, many years, and you see the generation that God has blessed you with, and you see those students say, oh, my goodness, you realize I thought it's me who did what Men you know, men blog will say that me, I am the one who was able to tune this girl like a gearbox.

But later on you realize it's beyond that.

When you see the children that you know, you know God knew he needed a certain DNA that could only be found in me and my wife so that the child can behave the way he is behaving for the future.

We know nothing about, and you see the goodness of God, the plans of God, and so may we work with this liberation, may we work with this understanding that God, before even he starts something, he knows the head of it.

He knows before the beginning of it.

He knows the head of it before, even before it starts.

So this is a God who is dependable.

He's a God who is trustworthy.

May we trust him, may we call unto him in all situations, in all circumstances, all day long, like the psalmist.

You say, david, in Psalm 66, I'll call unto him all day long.

May we call unto him all day long Because he knows us by his name, by our names, he knows us by our address.

He knows us by our weaknesses, our charges, our struggles.

God knows them and therefore, tonight it's a reminder.

It's a kind reminder that in this reason of the kingdom of empowered calling, propelled passion, that we shall pursue our calling with passion, with passion knowing that our calling is paid to others as well, so that, even as we are pursuing my passion, I'm not pursuing it for myself, but because, as I pursue this, there are many others who are watching.

We are surrounded by many witnesses and the others who benefit out of that, and so passionately we do that not in a selfish nature, but because, you know, if I don't do this, the others, who will do a lot, would suffer the consequences if we don't do this.

So may God help us, may God give us that insight, may God open our eyes, our spiritual eyes now to see even the world, to see those who has already created among ourselves for us to hold heart and help.

Amen, where we need healing, restoration.

May God bring that restoration for his glory.

In Jesus name, amen.

And therefore that's a reminder this very evening that you have a missed call.

Remind your neighbor, tell them you have a you're missed call.

Remember to return your call.

Connect with that call for his glory.

So may you be reminded that there is an empowered hearing.

You need to hear as you pray and you ask God what you want, may also be attentive to listen to what he is saying and what he is telling you, because he will respond to your prayers.

May you know that God remembers and empowered to remembrance.

You'll never forget you, you'll never forsake you.

May we have an a God revision, an empowered vision to see what God is seeing, to see what God calls us to be.

And finally, may we have that discernment, god's reverence, of what we need to do well, we need to direct our children, our family, our businesses, not just open because others are opening businesses in this area.

May you do it with a reverence and with a study, amen.

And therefore I'll post there for today, god giving us another opportunity, we'll be able to continue another session in terms of an empowered it's a good topic empowered calling propel vision, a proper to passion, and my desire is that what is your area of calling?

Maybe you are be like Moses, who was a shepherd for many years, only to be to realize his calling at his old age.

When that time comes, you feel the passion within you.

You feel the passion within you.

You can do it like 24-7, even for free, because you can feel this is my calling and you can see that there's a lot that I need to do and you'll have the energy and the strength to do what God has intended for you.

And therefore, you are there this very evening, or you're following this broadcast and you're feeling perceive.

I have that's need, I have this desire, I have this calling, but I don't know how to take, I don't know how to go, I don't know how to progress, and I'm willing someone to pray along with me.

I need someone to walk with me to realize this vision, to realize this area of calling, so that, as we get even to the month of September, indeed something new will be bad in you.

Maybe you are there.

You don't have this relationship with his father.

I said he's already recorded our names for those who are believers in liberation, chapter 20.

He has recorded our names in the book of life.

Is your name?

Are you sure your name is the book of life?

Is it engraved there?

Maybe this is an opportunity also to give, to ask you today is the day, don't wait for tomorrow.

We have just prayed for some of the members a young man who was born in 1998, who transitioned.

We don't know about tomorrow, we don't know about tomorrow.

Today is the day, tomorrow is a promise, and so if you are there, you're following online, you can chat with a team or media team and say I want to give my life to Christ.

It's an opportunity for you to do so and if you are there, you have that special prayer you need.

I have this calling, I have this gifting.

I don't know how to go about it.

Yes, we'll be praying with you.

Amen, amen.

So let's pray how.

Mighty father, our Lord and our Savior, jesus Christ, we are really grateful that you called us and you have called us as your children.

Old, dear Lord, you say that you came so that we may have life and have it in abundance, but king of king, in the world, unlimited world that we live into is full of charges and struggles.

So, dear Lord, sometimes almost giving up walking of king, but because we are there for that, we have a hope, a hope that trust to be alone, knowing that not even death, never the tribulation of this world we separate us from the love that you loved us.

Who, king of glory?

And therefore we have a hope, even this very evening as we come through to listen to your word, father, that you are walking, not the way we walked in old, dear Lord, we have a hope, I hope that trust.

Thank you for reminding us, for our dear Lord, that when we call unto you, you not only hear, but even to respond back to us.

Give us a spirit to be able to discern, to be able to hear, even as you respond to our prayers, which you offer, king of glory, so that we don't live with ignorance.

Almighty Father, thank you, dear Lord, even for remembering us, not because you forget, whereby you quicken.

You show us an limited and merited favor into our areas of our calling.

Old, dear Lord, thank you for choosing us, thank you for separating us from the many and choosing us even to be in your house this very evening, old, dear Lord.

What a joy, what a celebration, father, that among many areas we could have gone this evening, you chose ours and you directed our desire, our feelings, our emotions, our steps to your house.

Old, dear Lord, may this not just be a routine.

May it be a special day.

May it be a special evening where your people, father, will be filled by your Holy Spirit.

You'll be able to guide them.

You'll be able to open their eyes.

That vision will be father to see be old, what we can be able to see in the aniched eyes will be father to be able to see the world that you have opened for them and the other thousand generation.

Old, dear Lord, may there be one, may there be two, maybe at the three, who will respond to this call.

Old, dear Lord, and may they see you and may they come back with a testimony of what you have done, and to them which of a king of glory.

Thank you even for revealing, and to us even, the hidden secret, old, dear Lord, and you see, what you have already revealed is for us and our children.

Old, dear Lord, king of King, thank you for your discerning spirit that we were to discern between the right and the wrong or, father, we were to discern where you want us to be at a certain time, which of a king of glory.

Thank you, even for this generation, that even we are seated here.

Father, there's a reason and a divine purpose why you created us and we all came at this time, and age over father.

Help us to accomplish that divine purpose of why you created us, just as we have been reminded the calling of Moses.

You called him, even in his old age, to accomplish his main and gender and his main purpose over father, of his time, over father, and he's able to lead an entire nation to a promise to God.

Father, he was able to face a giant called Pharaoh.

Almighty father and, dear Lord, some of us here in this congregation, there's some giants in our lives that we need to face.

There's some addiction you may call them a giants over our father that we need to work with them out of father.

Help us tonight to come out of them, to address them.

Old, dear Lord and father, to be free and to live a free life.

Old, king of King, how we worship you, how we praise you, because it's not a God who deserved this other than you, the creator of heaven, and I, the Almighty Father.

Therefore, we worship you, we praise you, all this believing and trusting the name of the father, the son and the Holy Spirit.

And the church says amen, amen, let's appreciate God for his goodness.

Tell to your turn, to your name, tell them to your missed call.

Tell the other neighbor who are we ignored you.

Tell them to your missed call.

Thank you so much.

We appreciate and we give God all the glory for the opportunity to be in his house and even to listen to his word.

May we go and internalize even the, the, the word for the night, and made come true, made come alive again in your, in your specific area of life, in man.

And therefore, even as we get a benediction, tell your neighbor there's a cup of tea and so it's prepared for us so we'll be able to to take together.

And also let's continue remembering those who are believed quite a number this week.

We have John Kulia also, the dad went to be with the Lord.

We have another gentleman by the name and they collect my phone, I think we have.

We have that one, the staff almost and we also have a deconerate and another gentleman from Packard, who also lost the mom.

So let's continue praying for those who are believed within ourselves, among ourselves, here, that God will give them comfort, god will give them peace and understanding in the time we are into, amen and therefore our benedictions are, we can start as we share this benediction together, let's be upsetting and therefore may the Lord, even as we come to the head of the man of August, as we enter into the new month of September, that new bad thing.

May it happen.

It's something new be bad in your life and therefore may the Lord bless you and may the Lord keep you.

May the Lord make it's fine to shine upon you and be gracious to you.

May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.

May the road keep you from all evil.

May he keep your life.

May the road keep you going out and you're coming in from this time and for them, forever more.

May the God of endure, as an encouragement, grant you to live in such a harmony with one another and in your families, in accord to Christ Jesus and together, that with one voice we shall continue to glorify God and father of our Lord.

Jesus Christ, and therefore to him, was able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, and according to the power to work within us.

To him be the glory in the church, and he, christ Jesus, through all generations, forever and ever.

Amen.

Amen.

So let's share the words of grace together, and I'm in the grace of our Lord, jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forever.

More amen.

And for the cup of tea that is prepared for us.

We receive it with thanksgiving in Jesus name, shalom.
