  1. That He will not leave them as orphans, but He will bring the

  2. Spirit that is the Spirit of God, that is the Holy Spirit is

  3. going to cheat them, is going to cancel them, is going to guide

  4. them in whatever that they do Hallelujah.

  5. So I've come to tell someone that don't be afraid as the year

  6. has begun. Maybe you are thinking of other

  7. things, but know that as the Holy Spirit is with you, nothing

  8. can bring you down. All that you have to do is to

  9. take the Holy Spirit serious and work with the Holy Spirit.

  10. Hallelujah. When you read Genesis chapter

  11. one verse 2, it says now the earth was formless and empty and

  12. darkness was over the service of the deep and the Spirit of God

  13. was hovering over the waters. Hallelujah.

  14. So this makes us to understand that before creation, when God

  15. wanted to create things, the Spirit of God was there.

  16. So this tells us that the Spirit of God is very, very important.

  17. The Holy Spirit is very, very important.

  18. Before we begin any journey, we must invite the Holy Spirit,

  19. because the Bible tells us that before everything, the Spirit of

  20. God was there. So before you begin anything in

  21. this year, you must invite the Holy Spirit because when you

  22. invite the Holy Spirit in whatever that you do, the Holy

  23. Spirit guides, He directs and he teaches Hallelujah.

  24. Let's move quickly to us, chapter 10, verse 38.

  25. This is one of the verses that I like so much.

  26. And he says how God anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth with

  27. the Holy Spirit and power and how he went around doing good

  28. and healing all who were under the power of the devil because

  29. God was with him. Hallelujah.

  30. So here makes us understand that Jesus Christ was anointed,

  31. anointed and with the Holy Spirit power he went about doing

  32. good. So we can see that before you

  33. can do good, before you can do ministry, before you embark on

  34. anything you must have the Holy Spirit.

  35. So today whilst I was reading the scripture I was asking

  36. myself, by Jesus Christ, he had the power, he had the authority,

  37. so why the Holy Spirit, why the Holy Spirit?

  38. Because Jesus Christ knew that without the Holy Spirit, He

  39. cannot fulfill His mandate on this earth.

  40. So without the Holy Spirit we cannot fulfill our mandate on

  41. this earth. Why am I saying that?

  42. Because our flesh will always tell us to do things which are

  43. contrary to the Word of God, which are contrary to the Holy

  44. Spirit. So our flesh will tell us to do

  45. this, go and do that, go and do this which is not based on the

  46. Word of God. So with the Spirit of God, with

  47. the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will help us to live a righteous

  48. life with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will help us to

  49. speak the truth with the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will

  50. help us to do things that we are supposed to do that is aligned

  51. with the Word of God. Hallelujah.

  52. So Jesus Christ was able to fulfill his mandate on it

  53. because He had the Holy Spirit. So he did a lot of things,

  54. healing the sick. All this is because the Holy

  55. Spirit was with Him. This even I've come to tell all

  56. of us that we shouldn't be afraid 'cause we have the Holy

  57. Spirit in US. And if you do not have the Holy

  58. Spirit, I want you to test for the Holy Spirit because this is

  59. the power, this is the strength that Jesus right had.

  60. And it has helped him a lot that when he was going, he told the

  61. disciples to tarry, to wait for their spirit.

  62. Hallelujah. Our main test when you read Luke

  63. chapter one, verse one. Luke chapter one, verse 28 to

  64. 35. This is Mary, the story of Mary

  65. when the Angel of the Lord came to tell her, I want us to say

  66. greetings, the verse 28 greetings, you are highly

  67. favored, the Lord is with you. Mary was greatly troubled at the

  68. West and wondered what kind of greetings this might be.

  69. But the Angel said to her, Do not be afraid Mary, for you have

  70. found favor with God, and you conceive and give birth to a

  71. son, and you are to call him Jesus Christ, for he will be

  72. great, and you'll be called the Son of the Messiah.

  73. His Kingdom will never end and marry us.

  74. How can this be tonight? I don't know the things that you

  75. are in, the challenges that you are in and you are asking

  76. yourself how can this be? Maybe the beginning of the year

  77. you have things that you've put in your paper that I want to do

  78. this and that maybe the money is not there.

  79. Maybe you are thinking how can this be by come to tell you

  80. that. Don't be afraid.

  81. Let's see what the Angel said. He said, Mary said, how can this

  82. be? Ask the Angel, since I am a

  83. virgin, how can a virgin give birth?

  84. How can a virgin give birth? So you could see that this thing

  85. was impossible in a human form, this thing was impossible.

  86. But I've come to tell someone that with the Holy Spirit

  87. nothing is impossible. Hallelujah.

  88. With the Holy Spirit nothing is impossible.

  89. So the whole the Angel said, the Holy Spirit will come on you and

  90. the power of the Messiah will over shadow you.

  91. So this is what the Angel said, that the Holy Spirit will come

  92. upon you and the power of the Messiah will over shadow you.

  93. So Mary perhaps was looking at her background that oh, looking

  94. at my background, I'm from a poor home.

  95. This man has to be born in a palace because he is a great

  96. king. He's a great king.

  97. And how can I take this great king?

  98. I cannot. How can this be?

  99. Look at my background, look at the things that have been true.

  100. Maybe this will be your testimony or this is the story

  101. that you are thinking about. That oh, how can this be?

  102. Looking at my education, looking at the money that I have right

  103. now, looking at my circumstances, can I marry?

  104. Can I make it? Can I do this, this and that?

  105. We have a lot of plans, but I've come to tell someone that we

  106. have a lot of plans, but for the plans to come to pass unless we

  107. rely on the Holy Spirit, Hallelujah.

  108. So the Holy Spirit came upon Mary and you see that truly,

  109. truly what the Angel said came to pass this evening.

  110. I've come to tell you that whatever that you are looking

  111. for, don't be afraid as the Spirit of God is with you.

  112. Nothing can break you down, nothing can bring you down in

  113. the name of Jesus. So whatever that you have

  114. planned in 2026, believe that it will come to pass.

  115. Since we have the Holy Spirit, we shouldn't be intimidated.

  116. No, because we have the Holy Spirit.

  117. The Spirit of God is with us, so nothing can bring us down.

  118. This year I was thinking of something and something just

  119. came in my spirit that do it, you can do it.

  120. I was looking at some circumstances and say do it, you

  121. can do it, and by the grace of God I will do it because the

  122. Holy Spirit is with me and nothing can bring me down.

  123. If we have this mind that the Holy Spirit is with us, so

  124. nothing can bring us down. People of God, we will not worry

  125. about certain things. We don't have to worry us about

  126. certain things. Why am I saying that?

  127. Because our strength cannot do anything without the Holy

  128. Spirit. Our strength cannot do anything

  129. without the Holy Spirit. So when James Michael came, he

  130. relied on the Holy Spirit. The workers, they relied on the

  131. Holy Spirit. A lot of these ministers, they

  132. relied on the Holy Spirit. So you cannot say your strength

  133. can do it without the Holy Spirit.

  134. No, we have to rely on the Holy Spirit in whatever that we do.

  135. Because when we don't rely on the Holy Spirit, we are going to

  136. use our strength, we are going to use our wisdom, we are going

  137. to use our knowledge, which are going to fail us.

  138. Hallelujah. So we have to have this

  139. mentality that the Holy Spirit that we have, the Holy Spirit

  140. that we are beginning the year with, the Holy Spirit is going

  141. to guide us. The Holy Spirit is going to

  142. teach us, the Holy Spirit is going to protect us.

  143. The Holy Spirit is going to direct us in whatever that we do

  144. Hallelujah. So don't be afraid as Mary was

  145. afraid, Mary was troubled. How can this be?

  146. Look at my background. Where am I coming from?

  147. Jesus need to be born in a palace.

  148. How can she be born? He be born through me.

  149. So this way, the thoughts that way maybe running through Mary's

  150. mind that how can this be? But the Holy Spirit came upon

  151. her and whatever that she was thinking about came to pass.

  152. Hallelujah, the Holy Spirit is with us and whatever that He has

  153. said concerning our life, it will come to pass.

  154. All that we have to do is we have to work with the Holy

  155. Spirit. The Holy Spirit need

  156. relationship with us, the Holy Spirit need relationship with

  157. us. So sometimes the Holy Spirit is

  158. sad because we do not go to Him. We only speak tones when we come

  159. to church, we only speak tones. Some of us, we only speak tones

  160. when we come to church, which is bad because the Holy Spirit is

  161. with us and always He want to hear from us, we want to hear

  162. from us. We depend on you.

  163. Holy Spirit, we have. No.

  164. Power of our. We depend on you.

  165. And on you, Holy Spirit, Amen. We have no power of.

  166. We depend. On you, Holy Spirit.

  167. We have no power of our own. So the Holy Spirit, it's a

  168. necessity, not option. The Holy Spirit is a necessity.

  169. It's not something that we have to decide, that we have to pick

  170. or we have to take and work with, but it is a necessity that

  171. wherever that we will go, whatever that we will do, we

  172. must carry the Holy Spirit along with us.

  173. Because without the Holy Spirit, my brothers, my sisters, we

  174. cannot do anything without Him. Very soon I'll be bringing my

  175. message to an end so that we pray.

  176. Things are impossible without the Holy Spirit, and I've listed

  177. some of them for us to please God.

  178. Without the Holy Spirit, we cannot please God.

  179. There are a lot of things in this world that we see and

  180. nowadays for you to please God, for you to stand for God, it is

  181. the Holy Spirit. It's not even nowadays it is the

  182. Holy Spirit. Because what we see on our

  183. phones, even when you are working a whole lot of things

  184. that we see, if you don't have the Spirit of God in you, my

  185. brother, my sister, you fall because your flesh will be

  186. misleading you that do this and that.

  187. Because the Spirit is not in you.

  188. And sometimes because we do not activate the Spirit that is in

  189. us, the Spirit dies. You only come to church and

  190. speak in tongues, but when we go to the house, we leave it just

  191. like that. So how would the Spirit fuel us?

  192. The Spirit always want to fuel us so that we can use Him fully

  193. for His work. Hallelujah.

  194. So in order for us to please God, we need the Holy Spirit

  195. because our flesh cannot do it. It is the Spirit that will help

  196. us to please God. Hallelujah for us to live a holy

  197. life, It is the Holy Spirit. We cannot live a holy life

  198. without the Holy Spirit. No, for you to live a holy life,

  199. for you to live a righteous life, unless the Holy Spirit

  200. helps you. When the Holy Spirit doesn't

  201. helps you, my brother, my sister, you cannot live the holy

  202. life. You will say it by your mouth,

  203. you see that you are righteous, but when the Holy Spirit is not

  204. in you, you just think that oh I'm good, but you are not OK.

  205. But when the Holy Spirit is in you, you will live a holy life.

  206. Hallelujah for us to overcome sin.

  207. It is the Holy Spirit for us to overcome sin.

  208. It is the Holy Spirit. That's what I said it earlier,

  209. that our strength cannot do these things unless the Holy

  210. Spirit, your strength cannot overcome sin.

  211. It is the Holy Spirit that is going to help you to overcome

  212. sin, that sometimes you see sin and because of the Spirit that

  213. is in you will tell you, my brother, stop.

  214. Don't do it. And you hear it and you stop.

  215. Without the Holy Spirit, you will never hear a voice because

  216. the Spirit of God is not in you. So you just misbehave.

  217. I pray this evening that as we are beginning the year with the

  218. Holy Spirit, may the Holy Spirit help us to overcome sin.

  219. May the Holy Spirit help us to please the Lord.

  220. May the Holy Spirit help us to live a righteous life.

  221. Hallelujah, for us to fulfill our divine mandate, our divine

  222. assignment on earth, it is the Holy Spirit.

  223. So I really tell you that when Jesus Christ came on it, because

  224. of the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit was with him, He

  225. went about doing good. He was able to fulfill His

  226. divine assignment on it. Everybody has a divine

  227. assignment on it. Mine is different, yours is

  228. different. For us to fulfill this

  229. assignment, we need the Spirit of God.

  230. The Spirit of God will communicate to us.

  231. The Spirit of God will help us for us to achieve this sense.

  232. But without the Spirit of God, our divine assignment on it

  233. cannot be achieved. Hallelujah for us to pray

  234. effectively. Sometimes you wake up and you

  235. are tired because the Spirit that is in you.

  236. The percentage may be 10% because we do not allow

  237. ourselves to be filled with the Spirit.

  238. We do not allow ourselves so that the Spirit will fill us and

  239. break us. So sometimes we are not broken.

  240. We use our flesh to do certain things.

  241. When you are broken, you will pray always.

  242. When the Spirit is in you, you, you will test.

  243. You will test that. Oh, I have to pray.

  244. I have to read the Bible. So sometimes because the Spirit

  245. in US, the battery percent is 10 or 20, so we do not test to even

  246. pray, to even read the Bible. And it's continuous and it's

  247. continuous. When it happens like that, sin

  248. will keep coming to your door. I pray that may this never be

  249. our portion as we are beginning the year with the Holy Spirit.

  250. May we be serious with the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit

  251. wants a relationship with us. Hallelujah for true

  252. transformation. It comes from the Holy Spirit

  253. and one example that we can see from the Bible is opposed to

  254. Peter. Peter was a timid man, but when

  255. the Holy Spirit came upon him, this man who stood and 3000

  256. souls were warned for Christ. When the Holy Spirit comes,

  257. there is a total transformation. Some of us, we didn't know how

  258. to even speak. We didn't know even how to

  259. speak, but it true, the Holy Spirit that is helping us,

  260. small, small, small, small, small.

  261. So without the Holy Spirit, some of us by now we will not be

  262. here. So the Holy Spirit bring us

  263. total transformation. So I want to tell someone here

  264. tonight that don't look at your background and say that, oh me,

  265. I cannot stand here and speak the gospel.

  266. You can. With the Holy Spirit you can,

  267. the Holy Spirit will come upon you and He will give you

  268. strength to do God's work. Hallelujah.

  269. So we can do all things through Christ who strengthen us.

  270. Hallelujah. So when the Holy Spirit comes,

  271. He brings total transformation. The last point then I'll bring

  272. my message to an end is when the Holy Spirit comes, He give us

  273. the ability to witness with power.

  274. When the Holy Spirit comes, he give us the ability, the

  275. strength to witness with power. And sometimes I don't blame

  276. people because the the Holy Spirit's percentage is slow.

  277. So when you call for witnesses, when you call for evangelism, we

  278. wouldn't come because we don't see the need to go out there and

  279. speak the gospel. Peter was a timid man when he

  280. didn't have this Holy Spirit, but when the Holy Spirit came

  281. upon him now Peter went out spreading the gospel, because

  282. the Holy Spirit has now come to stay in him.

  283. So without the Holy Spirit, we can't speak the gospel with

  284. power. Sometimes when we call, the

  285. person will not come because he's afraid.

  286. What am I going to say? But with the Holy Spirit, even

  287. if you don't know what to say, He will give you the words to

  288. speak Hallelujah. Some of us, it's not that, oh,

  289. we study too much and we come and stand here.

  290. It's the Holy Spirit that is helping us.

  291. Some of the things you just brush through and the Holy

  292. Spirit will guide you, will give you some wisdom for you to speak

  293. about. So without the Holy Spirit, we

  294. cannot go out there and speak the gospel.

  295. But I pray that as we are beginning the year with the Holy

  296. Spirit, may the Holy Spirit. Grant us the power.

  297. To go out there and speak the gospel for you be transformed

  298. for you to go out there and speak the gospel, it is the Holy

  299. Spirit and you have to turn your mind that it is possible with

  300. the Holy Spirit. All that the Holy Spirit needs

  301. is our relationship, how we will get close to Him for Him to use

  302. us. And when we do that, we will see

  303. the glory of God in this church. When we see we do that, we will

  304. see the glory of God in our lives.

  305. And when we do that, whatever that we need, the Spirit of God

  306. is going to release upon our life.

  307. And in this church, may the Lord bless us all.

  308. Amen. Shall we be on our feet?

  309. Please abide and please, if you know how to sing, you come and

  310. help me. And I hear some more, and I

  311. hear. Come true?

  312. Yes. And I saw Jesus, and I shall be.

  313. Fully. And the hiss anointed I buy.

  314. And the hiss. Open your mouth and start

  315. speaking in tons, guest. Start speaking in tons.

  325. The Lord can do it in our days. The Holy Spirit is not limited

  326. and He can use us to do a lot. Of things for his glory.

  327. We are praying that as we've come here, may the Lord rekindle

  328. the spirit that is dead in NASA and may he grant us back the

  329. fire, the ancient fire that our Father is used to do exploit.
