  6. you that Your Lord, You've sown a seed and a

  8. blossom here today, Lord, that we would grasp hold of

  9. the truth you want to share with us. In Jesus' name, Amen.

  10. Amen, Raise the Lord, allelujah. Yeah.

  11. My name is Juliet Naga, and I'm very grateful for

  12. having the opportunity to share the word of God today.

  13. First of all, I like to tell you both we

  14. are in the house and in the room and sail

  15. and don't lying that I'm not a professional preacher, so

  16. please bear with me. God use there as anyone, So

  17. just bear with me. So I'll share a brief history

  18. of the title of my message is the Big Picture

  19. of God's Love. And I'll start with a brief history

  20. of God's plan. So we know that the redempted, redempty

  21. plan of God began with creation, where God made the

  22. heavens and the earth, declaring them very good. Genesis one

  23. that one says, so humanity was created in God's image

  24. and was intended to live with imperfect fellowship with God,

  25. to have dominion over God's creation as stated in Genesis

  26. one twenty six. Now we know that Satan was alls

  27. at hand with his God to still kill, destroy, as

  28. he says in John ten ten Part A. So Satan

  29. came and deceived Adam and Eve, and them led to

  30. the fall of man as in Genesis three, and introduce

  31. sin and death into the world. God did not give

  32. upon man, and he sent Jesus Christ, our Lord and King,

  33. to redeem man back to God. Jesus, our Lord and

  34. Savior perfected and restored the redemption plan of God that

  35. Satan had ruined, as it's written John three sixteen. For

  36. God so loved the world that he sent his one

  37. and only begoten Son, that whosoever believes in him shall

  38. not perish, but will have everlasting life. The hindrance to

  39. God's plan John ten ten estates the thief does not

  40. come except to steal, kill, and destroy. Satan has a

  41. god to deceive, still kill, and destroy. He started from

  42. the beginning of creation and is still at it. So

  43. what is our individual contribution to the big plan of God.

  44. God has a plan or calling for you and me,

  45. as written in Jeremiah nine, verses one to forty, eleven

  46. to fourteen, you are in God's speak big picture. You

  47. and I are in God's big picture. In God's plan,

  48. You're bigger than you think. Many times we say we

  49. are nothing, we can't do this and that. But in

  50. God's plan, you and I are bigger than what we think.

  51. God is on the inside of you. If you let

  52. him help you shine. You are in him and he's

  53. in you, and only that he's invisible.

  54. John fifteen fifteen.

  55. Verse five says I am the vine, You are the branches.

  56. He who abides in me and I in him, bears

  57. much fruit, for without me you can and I think Therefore,

  58. as children of God, we need to find our bearings

  59. in God's big plan so that we can take our

  60. stand and bear godly fruit. In John ten ten be

  61. says Jesus. I. Jesus says, have come that they might

  62. have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

  63. God wants the whole world to have life and have

  64. it more abundantly. That's God's big plan the whole world.

  65. But on the other hand, Satan is that hand to

  66. deceive you and to steal and kill and then destroy you.

  67. We also look at John sixteen sorry fourteen verse six,

  68. which says, I'm the Way, the Truth and the Life.

  69. The abundant life and love of God he promises can

  70. only be achieved through believing, trusting, and cleaving to Jesus,

  71. who is the Way, the Truth, and the life. Our

  72. personal goals there are so many, but because of time

  73. we can mention a few. Firstly, we need to check

  74. our hearts and assess ourselves. This will help us to

  75. take the next step that trust God, Trust that God

  76. is able, and to a point where you are persuaded,

  77. where you as an individual, are persuaded that God indeed

  78. is Lord of all lords, is King of kings, He

  79. created the universe and everything in them. And then with

  80. that in mind, you consider what all the testimonies that

  81. we've read about in the Bible.

  82. For example, God spoke.

  83. The word and a virgin conceived and she bore a son,

  84. who is our Lord, Jesus Christ. We know that he

  85. also made a road away for the children of God.

  86. To cross to the promised land on a dry ground.

  87. The sea parted and the children crossed over on a

  88. promised land as he promised them. And in the very

  89. sea he destroyed their enemies, and they were normal. We

  90. also know that, so we can learn from several testimonies

  91. in the Bible. We know that God Jesus went about

  92. healing the sick, opening blind eyes, deaf ears, we barren

  93. women conceived. We also know that when they were about

  94. to burn Shadrack Missake under Bernigo, God was able to

  95. stop the fire from burning them. The same God stopped

  96. the lions from eating up Daniel in the Lions Den.

  97. And know that is found in Daniel, the book of

  98. and He's still a miracle working God. And through this

  99. miracles God glorified himself and the ones who were supposed

  100. to be dead became were given highest positions. So take

  101. your position, child of God. Yeah, so we need to

  102. be serious in heeding to allocate time for God to

  103. be in his presence. Then he would will guide us

  104. in all truth, show us what we do not know.

  105. Jeremiah at thirty three, verse one to three states Moreover,

  106. the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah second time,

  107. while who was still shut up in the course of prison,

  108. saying that says the Lord who made it, the Lord

  109. who formed it to establish it.

  110. The Lord is his name.

  111. Call and to me, and I'll answer you, and I

  112. will show you great and mighty things that you do

  113. not know. Yeah, sisters and brothers, fine, This verse is

  114. one of the keys to finding the invisible God. It

  115. is a spiritual blindness for us to imagine that the

  116. Almighty God created heaven and earth and did all these miracles,

  117. and that he would come to abiding us and become idle.

  118. It's a blindness.

  119. It's a spiritual blindness to think, Oh, God has saved me,

  120. and it's just gonna be in my body and I'm

  121. just gonna go to work, come home, eat, drink, and

  122. be merry. His purpose of coming into our lives is

  123. for us to be the vessels he can use to

  124. keep doing the things Jesus used to do while he

  125. was on earth, like in John fourteen twelve, which states

  126. most assuredly, I said to you, he who believes in me,

  127. the works that I do, he will do so, or

  128. he would do also and greater works than these. Because

  129. I've gone to the Father child of God. Jesus is

  130. looking on us to take a stand that he can

  131. flow through us to show the world that is God almighty.

  132. And here some of the ways of overcoming the devil.

  133. Before I go there, let's go like Joshua in chapter

  134. twenty four. He chose, he decided that as for me

  135. and my house, we will serve the Lord. So you

  136. can start from today to say I personally gonna serve

  137. the Lord no matter what sun So is doing or saying,

  138. I'm gonna take a stand. I and my family believe

  139. in God, and we're just gonna do stand and let

  140. God do what he's.

  141. Got to do.

  142. Okay, So here are some ways of overcoming the devil. Firstly,

  143. you submit to God, who is the author and finish

  144. over our lives. You resist the devil, and it says

  145. in James four seven that when you resist the devil,

  146. he'll flee from you.

  147. You just have to resist and trust God is with you.

  148. We have challenges of making the right choices for a

  149. Roman six sixteen states that sorry about this Roman six sixteen,

  150. Shall I just read it?

  151. Do not?

  152. It says that you do not know? Do you not

  153. know that whom you present yourself slave to obey. You

  154. are that one slave whom you obey, whether I've seen

  155. leading to death or of obedience leading to righteousness.

  156. So let's choose to be.

  157. Obedient to God by desiring to seek and finding him

  158. daily so we can hear and be able to follow

  159. Him and not follow astrayer's voice in ignorance Revelation twelve

  160. eleven or so, which we know very well, he says

  161. that they overcame him by the blood of the lamb

  162. and the word of their testimony, and they did not

  163. love their lives and to death even and to death.

  164. So amidst the trials of life that we go through

  165. at home, at work, even at church, Yeah, let's testify

  166. whose we are. You have assessed yourself, then you know

  167. who you are, and then test fy whose you are.

  168. Proclaim the blood of Jesus and stand your ground and

  169. do not be afraid of the life challenges. Remember that

  170. your tongue is full of life and power because God,

  171. when he chose you, he put his power in you.

  172. He disposited it in you, and He's waiting to perfect

  173. the words that you proclaim and speak. So let's continue

  174. choosing God through it all. Remember that all that glitters

  175. is not gold.

  176. The world and its glory.

  177. Very places you go to and you feel amazed, they

  178. will not take you to heaven. They did not choose you.

  179. So nowhere you're supposed to be understand and take a stand.

  180. So I'm gonna.

  181. Briefly talk about the church responsibility. Looking around the world

  182. is rapidly going the wrong direction. As believers, Let's not

  183. ignore what's going on and expect that somebody else whill

  184. fixed the problem. Or if I ran here and there,

  185. maybe if I go to Israel, I run away from

  186. the problems of England. No, God wants us to take

  187. a stand so that he can turn the problems going

  188. on in the world into testimonies for his glory. Yeah,

  189. and for our joy. When the church sees that God

  190. is at work, it is heavy people will come.

  191. Yeah.

  192. The world is not going to change unless the children

  193. of God respond and allow God to take their lives

  194. into to use it for the kingdom. We are waiting

  195. for God to change the world. Yet God is waiting

  196. for us to take a stand and to do great exploits,

  197. as Jesus gave us the example. Shall I take for

  198. the Book of Timothy, Chapter one states I charge you therefore,

  199. before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge

  200. the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom,

  201. preach the word. Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke,

  202. exot with all long sufferings and teaching, for the time

  203. will come when they will not end you a sound doctrine,

  204. but according to their own desires, because they have eaching ears,

  205. they will haper for themselves teachers, and they will turn

  206. their ears away from the truth and turn to be

  207. aside for fables. You and I, child of God, Children

  208. of God, says you, be watchful in all things, endure affliction,

  209. and do the work of the evangelist. Fulfill your ministry.

  210. Do you know your ministry? God is here to show

  211. your ministry. Keep coming, keep listening.

  212. Yeah.

  213. The Church as a body has a responsibility to equip

  214. the saints, which is the Body of Christ, for ministry

  215. that each one may know their calling and work in

  216. it to fulfill God's plan for their lives. We won't

  217. go there, but First Corinthians twelve, verses twenty seven and

  218. twenty eight says that as a church we need to

  219. stand in the gap to repent on on behalf of

  220. the world, our world, our community, our families, yes, so

  221. that God may forgive, heal and revealed to the church

  222. what is causing their issues and also shows how show

  223. us how to see the change for the world. God

  224. love to come to know Him and receive salvation. We

  225. know the description of love, and without love, we cannot

  226. effectively love God and another. Therefore, it's very important for

  227. us to abide in God by allocating time to meet

  228. with Him daily in order to keep hearing what He

  229. is saying and be willing to obey what he says

  230. and be able to shine. Abiding in God is not

  231. a one of things. The church needs to prayerfully encourage

  232. the saints to seek God daily that we can shine

  233. as in us sixty in the darkness and around us

  234. the gentles who will come for the gentles to come

  235. to alight and the kings to the brightness of the

  236. rising of the Church.

  237. So the church.

  238. I will talk about the church prophecies that is Randomied

  239. Christian Fellowship this year for our start from last year,

  240. we had a word which was prophesied of our over

  241. Randomied Christian Fellowship and it was saying that a tsunami

  242. of sauls is coming. And in the new year we

  243. had another word that God is doing anything. Our theme

  244. for February has been loving our neighbors as ourself and

  245. it comes in quie handed with both prophecies to prepare

  246. us for the tsunami of souls and the new thing

  247. that God is doing. I believe He started doing it,

  248. but we need to start watching and lasking to see it.

  249. As a church, we need to take into consideration what

  250. God is saying with the awareness of what's going on

  251. around us. Let's evaluate our potential. You are a big person.

  252. God is on the inside of you. Evaluate your potential

  253. and the part that God wants you to play in

  254. your community and as a church. So let us prayer

  255. fully meet, call upon the Lord, and seek him to

  256. show us the new thing that He is doing. What

  257. role each one of us has to play to engage

  258. him to bath the new thing.

  259. And many more things.

  260. And here's what I thought the action planned for our

  261. preparation for the tsunami of souls and the new thing

  262. that God is doing. Rather than sister, it's one thing

  263. to believe that a tsunami of souls is coming and

  264. that God is doing a new thing. But it's another

  265. for us to lay hold of those prophecies without doing

  266. something about it. So I call upon your sisters and brothers,

  267. let's do something about it. Let's not leave it to

  268. the pastor, or to the minute or to the leader's team.

  269. We are all called to be children of God. Yes, so,

  270. Jeremiah says Jeremiah one, verse ten. We know that the

  271. whole thing from chapter verse one to ten is encouraging Jeremiah,

  272. don't despise yourself. But in this case, we're gonna look

  273. at just verse ten. Because of time, I've this dareset

  274. you over the nations of our kingdoms, to root out

  275. and to pull down, to destroy, and to throw down,

  276. to build and plant. We have been given the authority

  277. to take charge and stop the devil from derailing our

  278. lives and communities by using the word of God. As

  279. he leads us, God would turn to his word that

  280. we plant and proclaim, and he will perfect it. In

  281. Job twenty two, God says, chapter sorry, verse teny eight.

  282. That's Job twenty two, verse teny eight. He stays, you

  283. will also declare thing, and you'll be established for you. Yeah,

  284. you and I can declare thing that you see in

  285. your workplace, your neighborhood, even here in church. You declare

  286. it according to the word of God, and God would

  287. do it. He is waiting for us to speak his

  288. word to perfect it, and so it will shine for you.

  289. Prohaps eight twenty eight was so, say eighteen twenty eight

  290. or so says Death and life are in the power

  291. of the Tank, and those who love.

  292. It will eat his fruit.

  293. So, like Jeremiah, we have to identify the giants that

  294. we need to root out first of all. That's what

  295. we do. You will identify the giants. They may be

  296. in your body, they may be in your family, they

  297. may be in your neighborhood, or in the highest places,

  298. and then pull them down and destroy and throw them down.

  299. After we've done that, then we build and plant the

  300. seed of God, which is the Word of God. In

  301. this case, I'm talking about the tsunami of Sauls and

  302. the new Thing. We declare that the God you've declared

  303. a tsunami of Sauls coming. We wrote out anything that

  304. would deprive the tsunami from coming. Yes, And we prepare

  305. our hats to be ready to receive, and we call

  306. them forth in the name of Jesus. Yes, So that's

  307. one example. So we look also in Ezekiel thirty seven.

  308. We're not going to read it, but I would just

  309. have compressed it in a.

  310. Bit of text. It says.

  311. In this passage, the Bible describes the vision of the

  312. prophet Ezekiel. In the vision, the hand of the Lord

  313. brought Ezekiel to a valley full of bones. The Lord

  314. commanded Ezekiel to prophesigh upon the bones, and Ezekiel did

  315. as the bone came together and flesh and skin covered them.

  316. The Lord then commanded Ezekiel to prophesy to the wind,

  317. the breath to enter their bodies, and they came to life.

  318. And God describes that explains that vision, that he told Ezekiel,

  319. that son of Man, these bones represent the whole house

  320. of visual in this church. In this case the church Israel,

  321. the the natural Israel, the spiritual Israel, that that they

  322. would it would open their grades and bring them back

  323. to God.

  324. So looks look.

  325. Eighteen eleven says the word is the seed. Whatever we

  326. plant has got to be the word of God according

  327. to God, not our own, because our own words may

  328. be wrong, and we may be declaring the wrong thing.

  329. When we study the word, we identify with that word,

  330. and we saw it after we pull that rooted out

  331. what we think is evil, that's not right, and we

  332. plant the seed, the word of God, and then God

  333. begins to use it to turn the world around. If

  334. we don't route out and pull down and destroy and

  335. throw it down and plant has told us by Jeremiah,

  336. Citan will come and you will continue, you will continue

  337. rooting out God's principle in the society. I think we

  338. are beginning to see that already, Yeah, out of the

  339. world and then plant his own seed of evil and wickedness,

  340. and the end result would be continuous bad news on TV,

  341. in news, in news on the news, in newspapers, and

  342. anguish of life. So, as children of God, let's rise

  343. up to our feet and do what God wants us

  344. to do. We were saved for this reason, not to

  345. eat and drink, not find the best house, not finding

  346. the best car, although those are good and God gives them.

  347. But the principal thing is to find God, who made

  348. us for himself for his glory. And with that word,

  349. I had thought that we would share some declarations.

  350. Don't know if we got any time.

  351. Yeah, so we have declarations just to prepare us on

  352. what I'm meaning and how we can turn the word

  353. of God prayerfully. Please, let's declare these together a few

  354. of these. Yeah. So it says it is written as

  355. starting anything be done for them, bring with the plan

  356. to bring the tsunami of souls as we ask for

  357. grace that will you will supply and to us to

  358. enable us care and nature nature them in Jesus' name.

  359. Amen. Yeah, it's just the one, okay.

  360. So I have prepared a few declarations that we can

  361. continue doing in the week and in months if you're willing.

  362. It all depends on if you're willing to partner with

  363. God and the church. And it's gonna be shared via

  364. WhatsApp and other pages where we share the gospel with that.

  365. Sisters and brothers. I thank you for listening, and I

  366. hope that somehow you've picked one thing or two that

  367. you act on.

  368. Jesus name. Amen.
