-
That He will not leave them as orphans, but He will bring the
-
Spirit that is the Spirit of God, that is the Holy Spirit is
-
going to cheat them, is going to cancel them, is going to guide
-
them in whatever that they do Hallelujah.
-
So I've come to tell someone that don't be afraid as the year
-
has begun. Maybe you are thinking of other
-
things, but know that as the Holy Spirit is with you, nothing
-
can bring you down. All that you have to do is to
-
take the Holy Spirit serious and work with the Holy Spirit.
-
Hallelujah. When you read Genesis chapter
-
one verse 2, it says now the earth was formless and empty and
-
darkness was over the service of the deep and the Spirit of God
-
was hovering over the waters. Hallelujah.
-
So this makes us to understand that before creation, when God
-
wanted to create things, the Spirit of God was there.
-
So this tells us that the Spirit of God is very, very important.
-
The Holy Spirit is very, very important.
-
Before we begin any journey, we must invite the Holy Spirit,
-
because the Bible tells us that before everything, the Spirit of
-
God was there. So before you begin anything in
-
this year, you must invite the Holy Spirit because when you
-
invite the Holy Spirit in whatever that you do, the Holy
-
Spirit guides, He directs and he teaches Hallelujah.
-
Let's move quickly to us, chapter 10, verse 38.
-
This is one of the verses that I like so much.
-
And he says how God anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth with
-
the Holy Spirit and power and how he went around doing good
-
and healing all who were under the power of the devil because
-
God was with him. Hallelujah.
-
So here makes us understand that Jesus Christ was anointed,
-
anointed and with the Holy Spirit power he went about doing
-
good. So we can see that before you
-
can do good, before you can do ministry, before you embark on
-
anything you must have the Holy Spirit.
-
So today whilst I was reading the scripture I was asking
-
myself, by Jesus Christ, he had the power, he had the authority,
-
so why the Holy Spirit, why the Holy Spirit?
-
Because Jesus Christ knew that without the Holy Spirit, He
-
cannot fulfill His mandate on this earth.
-
So without the Holy Spirit we cannot fulfill our mandate on
-
this earth. Why am I saying that?
-
Because our flesh will always tell us to do things which are
-
contrary to the Word of God, which are contrary to the Holy
-
Spirit. So our flesh will tell us to do
-
this, go and do that, go and do this which is not based on the
-
Word of God. So with the Spirit of God, with
-
the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will help us to live a righteous
-
life with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will help us to
-
speak the truth with the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will
-
help us to do things that we are supposed to do that is aligned
-
with the Word of God. Hallelujah.
-
So Jesus Christ was able to fulfill his mandate on it
-
because He had the Holy Spirit. So he did a lot of things,
-
healing the sick. All this is because the Holy
-
Spirit was with Him. This even I've come to tell all
-
of us that we shouldn't be afraid 'cause we have the Holy
-
Spirit in US. And if you do not have the Holy
-
Spirit, I want you to test for the Holy Spirit because this is
-
the power, this is the strength that Jesus right had.
-
And it has helped him a lot that when he was going, he told the
-
disciples to tarry, to wait for their spirit.
-
Hallelujah. Our main test when you read Luke
-
chapter one, verse one. Luke chapter one, verse 28 to
-
35. This is Mary, the story of Mary
-
when the Angel of the Lord came to tell her, I want us to say
-
greetings, the verse 28 greetings, you are highly
-
favored, the Lord is with you. Mary was greatly troubled at the
-
West and wondered what kind of greetings this might be.
-
But the Angel said to her, Do not be afraid Mary, for you have
-
found favor with God, and you conceive and give birth to a
-
son, and you are to call him Jesus Christ, for he will be
-
great, and you'll be called the Son of the Messiah.
-
His Kingdom will never end and marry us.
-
How can this be tonight? I don't know the things that you
-
are in, the challenges that you are in and you are asking
-
yourself how can this be? Maybe the beginning of the year
-
you have things that you've put in your paper that I want to do
-
this and that maybe the money is not there.
-
Maybe you are thinking how can this be by come to tell you
-
that. Don't be afraid.
-
Let's see what the Angel said. He said, Mary said, how can this
-
be? Ask the Angel, since I am a
-
virgin, how can a virgin give birth?
-
How can a virgin give birth? So you could see that this thing
-
was impossible in a human form, this thing was impossible.
-
But I've come to tell someone that with the Holy Spirit
-
nothing is impossible. Hallelujah.
-
With the Holy Spirit nothing is impossible.
-
So the whole the Angel said, the Holy Spirit will come on you and
-
the power of the Messiah will over shadow you.
-
So this is what the Angel said, that the Holy Spirit will come
-
upon you and the power of the Messiah will over shadow you.
-
So Mary perhaps was looking at her background that oh, looking
-
at my background, I'm from a poor home.
-
This man has to be born in a palace because he is a great
-
king. He's a great king.
-
And how can I take this great king?
-
I cannot. How can this be?
-
Look at my background, look at the things that have been true.
-
Maybe this will be your testimony or this is the story
-
that you are thinking about. That oh, how can this be?
-
Looking at my education, looking at the money that I have right
-
now, looking at my circumstances, can I marry?
-
Can I make it? Can I do this, this and that?
-
We have a lot of plans, but I've come to tell someone that we
-
have a lot of plans, but for the plans to come to pass unless we
-
rely on the Holy Spirit, Hallelujah.
-
So the Holy Spirit came upon Mary and you see that truly,
-
truly what the Angel said came to pass this evening.
-
I've come to tell you that whatever that you are looking
-
for, don't be afraid as the Spirit of God is with you.
-
Nothing can break you down, nothing can bring you down in
-
the name of Jesus. So whatever that you have
-
planned in 2026, believe that it will come to pass.
-
Since we have the Holy Spirit, we shouldn't be intimidated.
-
No, because we have the Holy Spirit.
-
The Spirit of God is with us, so nothing can bring us down.
-
This year I was thinking of something and something just
-
came in my spirit that do it, you can do it.
-
I was looking at some circumstances and say do it, you
-
can do it, and by the grace of God I will do it because the
-
Holy Spirit is with me and nothing can bring me down.
-
If we have this mind that the Holy Spirit is with us, so
-
nothing can bring us down. People of God, we will not worry
-
about certain things. We don't have to worry us about
-
certain things. Why am I saying that?
-
Because our strength cannot do anything without the Holy
-
Spirit. Our strength cannot do anything
-
without the Holy Spirit. So when James Michael came, he
-
relied on the Holy Spirit. The workers, they relied on the
-
Holy Spirit. A lot of these ministers, they
-
relied on the Holy Spirit. So you cannot say your strength
-
can do it without the Holy Spirit.
-
No, we have to rely on the Holy Spirit in whatever that we do.
-
Because when we don't rely on the Holy Spirit, we are going to
-
use our strength, we are going to use our wisdom, we are going
-
to use our knowledge, which are going to fail us.
-
Hallelujah. So we have to have this
-
mentality that the Holy Spirit that we have, the Holy Spirit
-
that we are beginning the year with, the Holy Spirit is going
-
to guide us. The Holy Spirit is going to
-
teach us, the Holy Spirit is going to protect us.
-
The Holy Spirit is going to direct us in whatever that we do
-
Hallelujah. So don't be afraid as Mary was
-
afraid, Mary was troubled. How can this be?
-
Look at my background. Where am I coming from?
-
Jesus need to be born in a palace.
-
How can she be born? He be born through me.
-
So this way, the thoughts that way maybe running through Mary's
-
mind that how can this be? But the Holy Spirit came upon
-
her and whatever that she was thinking about came to pass.
-
Hallelujah, the Holy Spirit is with us and whatever that He has
-
said concerning our life, it will come to pass.
-
All that we have to do is we have to work with the Holy
-
Spirit. The Holy Spirit need
-
relationship with us, the Holy Spirit need relationship with
-
us. So sometimes the Holy Spirit is
-
sad because we do not go to Him. We only speak tones when we come
-
to church, we only speak tones. Some of us, we only speak tones
-
when we come to church, which is bad because the Holy Spirit is
-
with us and always He want to hear from us, we want to hear
-
from us. We depend on you.
-
Holy Spirit, we have. No.
-
Power of our. We depend on you.
-
And on you, Holy Spirit, Amen. We have no power of.
-
We depend. On you, Holy Spirit.
-
We have no power of our own. So the Holy Spirit, it's a
-
necessity, not option. The Holy Spirit is a necessity.
-
It's not something that we have to decide, that we have to pick
-
or we have to take and work with, but it is a necessity that
-
wherever that we will go, whatever that we will do, we
-
must carry the Holy Spirit along with us.
-
Because without the Holy Spirit, my brothers, my sisters, we
-
cannot do anything without Him. Very soon I'll be bringing my
-
message to an end so that we pray.
-
Things are impossible without the Holy Spirit, and I've listed
-
some of them for us to please God.
-
Without the Holy Spirit, we cannot please God.
-
There are a lot of things in this world that we see and
-
nowadays for you to please God, for you to stand for God, it is
-
the Holy Spirit. It's not even nowadays it is the
-
Holy Spirit. Because what we see on our
-
phones, even when you are working a whole lot of things
-
that we see, if you don't have the Spirit of God in you, my
-
brother, my sister, you fall because your flesh will be
-
misleading you that do this and that.
-
Because the Spirit is not in you.
-
And sometimes because we do not activate the Spirit that is in
-
us, the Spirit dies. You only come to church and
-
speak in tongues, but when we go to the house, we leave it just
-
like that. So how would the Spirit fuel us?
-
The Spirit always want to fuel us so that we can use Him fully
-
for His work. Hallelujah.
-
So in order for us to please God, we need the Holy Spirit
-
because our flesh cannot do it. It is the Spirit that will help
-
us to please God. Hallelujah for us to live a holy
-
life, It is the Holy Spirit. We cannot live a holy life
-
without the Holy Spirit. No, for you to live a holy life,
-
for you to live a righteous life, unless the Holy Spirit
-
helps you. When the Holy Spirit doesn't
-
helps you, my brother, my sister, you cannot live the holy
-
life. You will say it by your mouth,
-
you see that you are righteous, but when the Holy Spirit is not
-
in you, you just think that oh I'm good, but you are not OK.
-
But when the Holy Spirit is in you, you will live a holy life.
-
Hallelujah for us to overcome sin.
-
It is the Holy Spirit for us to overcome sin.
-
It is the Holy Spirit. That's what I said it earlier,
-
that our strength cannot do these things unless the Holy
-
Spirit, your strength cannot overcome sin.
-
It is the Holy Spirit that is going to help you to overcome
-
sin, that sometimes you see sin and because of the Spirit that
-
is in you will tell you, my brother, stop.
-
Don't do it. And you hear it and you stop.
-
Without the Holy Spirit, you will never hear a voice because
-
the Spirit of God is not in you. So you just misbehave.
-
I pray this evening that as we are beginning the year with the
-
Holy Spirit, may the Holy Spirit help us to overcome sin.
-
May the Holy Spirit help us to please the Lord.
-
May the Holy Spirit help us to live a righteous life.
-
Hallelujah, for us to fulfill our divine mandate, our divine
-
assignment on earth, it is the Holy Spirit.
-
So I really tell you that when Jesus Christ came on it, because
-
of the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit was with him, He
-
went about doing good. He was able to fulfill His
-
divine assignment on it. Everybody has a divine
-
assignment on it. Mine is different, yours is
-
different. For us to fulfill this
-
assignment, we need the Spirit of God.
-
The Spirit of God will communicate to us.
-
The Spirit of God will help us for us to achieve this sense.
-
But without the Spirit of God, our divine assignment on it
-
cannot be achieved. Hallelujah for us to pray
-
effectively. Sometimes you wake up and you
-
are tired because the Spirit that is in you.
-
The percentage may be 10% because we do not allow
-
ourselves to be filled with the Spirit.
-
We do not allow ourselves so that the Spirit will fill us and
-
break us. So sometimes we are not broken.
-
We use our flesh to do certain things.
-
When you are broken, you will pray always.
-
When the Spirit is in you, you, you will test.
-
You will test that. Oh, I have to pray.
-
I have to read the Bible. So sometimes because the Spirit
-
in US, the battery percent is 10 or 20, so we do not test to even
-
pray, to even read the Bible. And it's continuous and it's
-
continuous. When it happens like that, sin
-
will keep coming to your door. I pray that may this never be
-
our portion as we are beginning the year with the Holy Spirit.
-
May we be serious with the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit
-
wants a relationship with us. Hallelujah for true
-
transformation. It comes from the Holy Spirit
-
and one example that we can see from the Bible is opposed to
-
Peter. Peter was a timid man, but when
-
the Holy Spirit came upon him, this man who stood and 3000
-
souls were warned for Christ. When the Holy Spirit comes,
-
there is a total transformation. Some of us, we didn't know how
-
to even speak. We didn't know even how to
-
speak, but it true, the Holy Spirit that is helping us,
-
small, small, small, small, small.
-
So without the Holy Spirit, some of us by now we will not be
-
here. So the Holy Spirit bring us
-
total transformation. So I want to tell someone here
-
tonight that don't look at your background and say that, oh me,
-
I cannot stand here and speak the gospel.
-
You can. With the Holy Spirit you can,
-
the Holy Spirit will come upon you and He will give you
-
strength to do God's work. Hallelujah.
-
So we can do all things through Christ who strengthen us.
-
Hallelujah. So when the Holy Spirit comes,
-
He brings total transformation. The last point then I'll bring
-
my message to an end is when the Holy Spirit comes, He give us
-
the ability to witness with power.
-
When the Holy Spirit comes, he give us the ability, the
-
strength to witness with power. And sometimes I don't blame
-
people because the the Holy Spirit's percentage is slow.
-
So when you call for witnesses, when you call for evangelism, we
-
wouldn't come because we don't see the need to go out there and
-
speak the gospel. Peter was a timid man when he
-
didn't have this Holy Spirit, but when the Holy Spirit came
-
upon him now Peter went out spreading the gospel, because
-
the Holy Spirit has now come to stay in him.
-
So without the Holy Spirit, we can't speak the gospel with
-
power. Sometimes when we call, the
-
person will not come because he's afraid.
-
What am I going to say? But with the Holy Spirit, even
-
if you don't know what to say, He will give you the words to
-
speak Hallelujah. Some of us, it's not that, oh,
-
we study too much and we come and stand here.
-
It's the Holy Spirit that is helping us.
-
Some of the things you just brush through and the Holy
-
Spirit will guide you, will give you some wisdom for you to speak
-
about. So without the Holy Spirit, we
-
cannot go out there and speak the gospel.
-
But I pray that as we are beginning the year with the Holy
-
Spirit, may the Holy Spirit. Grant us the power.
-
To go out there and speak the gospel for you be transformed
-
for you to go out there and speak the gospel, it is the Holy
-
Spirit and you have to turn your mind that it is possible with
-
the Holy Spirit. All that the Holy Spirit needs
-
is our relationship, how we will get close to Him for Him to use
-
us. And when we do that, we will see
-
the glory of God in this church. When we see we do that, we will
-
see the glory of God in our lives.
-
And when we do that, whatever that we need, the Spirit of God
-
is going to release upon our life.
-
And in this church, may the Lord bless us all.
-
Amen. Shall we be on our feet?
-
Please abide and please, if you know how to sing, you come and
-
help me. And I hear some more, and I
-
hear. Come true?
-
Yes. And I saw Jesus, and I shall be.
-

-

-

-
We are praying that as we've come here, may the Lord rekindle
-
the spirit that is dead in NASA and may he grant us back the
-

-
