-
I did do I ready to think of on yourself.
-
Break my flesh, my will, my strength alone to use me as your
-
good service. Break my flesh, my will, my
-
strength, Oh Lord. Hallelujah, praise the Lord.
-
Let's all say thank you Jesus. It is a privilege to be standing
-
in front of you this morning. I give all the praise and
-
adoration on to our Lord and Maker, our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Let us welcome the Holy Ghost. In our myth, a club offering.
-
Welcome the Holy Ghost. He's here.
-
Yes. We acknowledge his presence here
-
this morning. And I wanted to shake a brother
-
or sister and welcome the person.
-
Yeah, can we lift up our Bibles and notebooks?
-
Let's see what we are going to record with your Bible and
-
notebooks. Please.
-
When you come into the presence of God, do not come with empty
-
hands. I beg you.
-
Because Bibles says that the devil is also qualified to steal
-
and he steals the word of God from you.
-
So forgive me for asking, but it is very important.
-
Today is the climax of our local week and the word the Lord laid
-
on my heart to share with you is unleashed to live a life of
-
consecration. Unleashed to live a life of
-
consecration. Can we all say it together?
-
Unleashed to live a life of consecration.
-
For the last time, I want us to open the Word of God and read
-
from the book of Philippians chapter 3 verse 13 to 14.
-
Philippians chapter 3, verse 13 to 14.
-
I will not keep long that much with this word.
-
So I beg you for the next 30 to 40 minutes, lend me your ear.
-
Can we all read together? Philippians 313 to 14, let's
-
read together. Go, brothers.
-
One thing I press on towards the goal.
-
Hallelujah. It's my prayer that at the end
-
of the same 1, you forget about yesterday's mistakes.
-
Oh, I didn't hear an Amen. By the end of this lesson or
-
this preaching, you forget about what is holding you back.
-
Some of us are running in circles.
-
You go and you come and meet the same thing again every year from
-
January. You make a lot of resolutions
-
and you end up where you were last year.
-
It is my prayer that every chains of stagnation will be
-
broken in the mighty name of Jesus.
-
If in your finances you move forward, in your academics you
-
move forward, in your work you move forward.
-
If you were using a motor, you use a car.
-
The Lord wants you to move forward.
-
If you are renting, you will build your own house.
-
In the mighty name of Jesus, you will move forward in your
-
tithes. You will move forward in your
-
offering, your education, your children's education.
-
Don't move forward in the mighty name of Jesus, The Lord will
-
order your steps. So many believers today are
-
gifted, many are anointed and full of potentials, but
-
distracted. We live in an annoying SeaWorld
-
full of competing voices, endless responsibilities and
-
constant interruptions. Yet for us to fulfill God's
-
purpose, we must be unleashed and also distracted and live a
-
life of concentration. Whether you understand it or
-
not, whether you believe it or not, whether you agree with me
-
or not, there are distractions everywhere.
-
And when you read the Bible in First Corinthians chapter 924 to
-
27, Bible has called us runners. We are all runners.
-
We compete in a game. Life is a race.
-
And everyone seated here this morning is termed by the Bible
-
as a runner or an athlete. Hallelujah with this, Whether
-
you don't believe in Jesus or not, that is how it is.
-
You stop your race when you die. Hallelujah.
-
And it is sad that some of us do not complete their race and they
-
enter into the grave this morning.
-
Whatever you have started, may the Lord cause you to finish.
-
Whatever you have started, may the Lord cause you to finish in
-
the mighty name of Jesus. Now when we say concentration,
-
concentration is the ability to give your full attention to what
-
really matters, to give your full attention.
-
These days when I ask a question like what do you give your full
-
attention to? As we are seated here, we are
-
not giving our full attention here.
-
Some of us haven't divided attention.
-
What are you thinking about? Some could be the amount of
-
money in your pockets, the business or the work you're
-
supposed to do tomorrow when you go to the office.
-
What are you supposed to sell this evening?
-
How you're supposed to manage their school, their school?
-
How do you call it your children's school tomorrow
-
morning? We have divided attentions.
-
Some are worried about their health, what I see tomorrow.
-
But one of the things that I can assure you is if you invest all
-
your concentration and fix your heart and mind on the will of
-
God for your life, trust me, all shall be well with you.
-
So in terms of spiritually, it means that you are supposed to
-
fix your heart and fix your mind on God's will for your life.
-
Hallelujah. So the question is, what is
-
God's will for my life? All of us are seated here
-
dressed nicely. Most of us are using our own
-
will. Most of us are walking in our
-
own will, walking in our own purpose.
-
Have you ever sat down to analyze your life, to ask
-
yourself what is the will of God for my life and am I walking
-
through this will? Am I walking through this
-
purpose that God has given to me?
-
Now when you read Isaiah chapter 26 verse 3, now Bible is telling
-
us that you will keep a perfect peace.
-
All who trust in you, who do, all whose thoughts are fixed on
-
you. So one of the things that we
-
gain is perfect peace. If all our attention, all our
-
worries, everything you think about is on the cross, whatever
-
that your attention is, is, everything is buried in the
-
cross, you will keep in perfect peace with the spirit of perfect
-
peace come in your homes, because it's very important to
-
have peace in this chaotic world.
-
There's trouble everywhere, whether you know it or not,
-
whether you accept it or not. You wake up early in the morning
-
and trouble is already knocking on your door.
-
But it depends on the grounds on which you are standing, because
-
some grounds are seeking sand, there are some grounds that are
-
seeking sounds, and you cannot stand on a sinking sound.
-
To solve a problem, it is very important that each and every
-
one of us live a concentrated life, giving the Lord our full
-
attention. Some of us have given the Lord
-
about 20% of our attention, 50% for our family, the rest for our
-
work. So whenever we are called upon
-
to do something for the Lord or even to spend time for the Lord,
-
the Holy Spirit speaks to us. He wants to spend time with us.
-
Whenever I stand here and I speak the word of God, I'm
-
always compelled to talk about our personal relationship with
-
God because that is what is going to land us in heaven.
-
I was asking a man I spoke to this week that if we just
-
announced that the news that Ghana is about to be destroyed
-
by a nuclear weapon, so we should all try as much as
-
possible to do it to run. I think the president will first
-
of all look for his family. He will make sure all his family
-
have disappeared from Ghana before thinking about you and I.
-
And as I'm standing over here, I don't think he even knows me.
-
He doesn't know me, but he knows someone.
-
So since he knows someone, he's going for that person.
-
Jesus Christ is coming. And if your name is not written
-
in the book of life, if you don't have a personal
-
relationship with him, if you don't decide, you don't make a
-
concrete decision to to actually forget certain things that is
-
behind you and to look forward to what He's showing you, He
-
will come. And as beautifully as you are
-
seated here in the praise of God, He will tell you, I do not
-
know you. And it's been very painful.
-
Let's check our lives. Let's check our prayer lives.
-
Let's check our quiet times. How do you spend time with God
-
now? Keep what keeps our what keeps
-
us bound and unfocused. That is the next thing I want to
-
talk about. What keeps you and I bound and
-
unfocused? There are certain things that
-
keeps us bound that up to now we claim you have accepted Jesus,
-
but we cannot forego those things.
-
And those things have become like chains.
-
You see, the devil doesn't care if you become a Christian.
-
That is 1 his problem. And you know what it does to
-
some of us? He will tie you with a chain.
-
That chain is an attitude or a character or something.
-
And you'll be praying for a long time.
-
You want to change. You want to change, but your
-
action and your prayer doesn't match.
-
You tell the Lord you have changed yet you go back.
-
He can give you a limit. The devil has given some of us
-
one week as a limit. Some of us has given us one
-
month as a limit. So some of us can be serious
-
with God for one week. And after you realize that after
-
one week you go back to how you are.
-
Some of us can be so serious with God for one month.
-
I will judge us for one month. After one month, let me to know
-
He'll pull you back. Some of us can be serious with
-
God for a day. And after a day you go back to
-
what you're doing. So it's like a cycle.
-
You cannot break out. As the song said this morning,
-
we are praying that we will live a concentrated life.
-
We are praying that every limited person here will become
-
limitless. Every chain will be broken in
-
the mighty name of Jesus. Now some of these chains are
-
that I cannot do spirit these chains I'm talking I'm talking
-
about some of this is I cannot do because the Lord wants you to
-
do and you are saying I cannot do it is a limitation.
-
You have been elected as a leader to do this.
-
You have been called for rehearsals, you have been called
-
to clean up, You have been called to preach the word
-
limitation, I cannot do it. Limitation, I have somewhere to
-
go limitation. I don't think I'm the right
-
person. Whatever limitation you have set
-
for yourself this morning, begin to cancel it in the mighty name
-
of Jesus, because that is not part of the will of God for you.
-
Bible says that I did not call you towards to disgrace you.
-
That is not a reason why God called you so Past failures and
-
regrets. That is one of the things, one
-
of the things that bounces past failures.
-
You failed and So what are you the first person to fail?
-
You are not married and So what are you the only single person?
-
You don't have money and So what are you the only person without
-
money? You've started a business and
-
the managers got furnished. You're not the first person to
-
experience whatever you are experiencing in life.
-
When the devil wants to actually make you stagnant.
-
When there's a problem, he advises you to give the problem
-
a seat. Obama, Ohano, Akunya, so on.
-
Then you begin to meditate on the words, on the problem.
-
Why am I, Why are my people treating me like this?
-
Why am I alone in this world? Why are things happening to me
-
like this? When it happens like that, you
-
are giving the problem a seat. But I recall that in the will of
-
God, Bible is telling us that meditate on the word of God day
-
and night. Day that wait upon the Lord
-
shall renew their strength. Even their youth gets weary.
-
The Bible is aware that you will get tired at a time, but he told
-
us that when you get tired, begin to wait upon the Lord,
-
because at that particular time, when you start waiting upon the
-
Lord, you shall renew your strength and you shall mount
-
wings like what an eagle. Hallelujah, this morning may we
-
live above every problem. You see, if you are together
-
with God, you know the problems of this earth is on only earth.
-
It doesn't cross the earth. Hello, I want you to put this
-
picture in your mind. The problem of this earth is on
-
this earth. The moment you leave space, you
-
go to space. You can't think about any
-
problem here. And we are living above this
-
earth. We are living together with
-
Jesus on the throne of mercy. We are living in heaven.
-
We are above every problem you can face.
-
We are above every limitation. So the moment you start
-
operating from that place, trust me, every problem will be
-
solved. Recognize your position,
-
Recognize where you are. If you are living on this earth,
-
begin to ascend. Begin to ascend through your
-
concentrated life. So past failures and regrets,
-
push them aside. In the mighty name of Jesus.
-
People's opinion and expectation, push them aside.
-
They are expecting this from you.
-
They are expecting this from you.
-
I'm expecting you to finish university by now.
-
Pressure. I'm expected to get married by
-
this time. Pressure.
-
People's opinion. If you are here and you are
-
living your life based on people's opinion and based on
-
their expectation, you are only buying pressure for yourself.
-
God is telling you that his time.
-
God is God is wonderful. His time is not your time.
-
His time is not your time. Do not live this life based on
-
people's opinion, based on your boss's opinion.
-
You. You can never make a manager.
-
I will never. How do you call it?
-
Promote. You live above.
-
Is it? We are living above certain
-
things. You laugh over it because you
-
know where you operate from. You know where you operate from.
-
Hallelujah. So living by people's opinion
-
and expectations, Drop it. Weldly distractions.
-
You live by weldly distractions. Some of us will always want to
-
watch post something on social media for people to comments and
-
later we know if you feel good about ourselves, please we
-
should stop doing that. However you feel about yourself
-
or however you want to feel about yourself.
-
The Bible has stated it. If you are someone who meditates
-
on the word of God day and night, it changes the way you
-
feel. It changes the way you see it
-
changes the way you talk. You don't depend on.
-
Social media you don't depend on their acceptance in social media
-
people have to oh God have mercy when you read first John chapter
-
2 verse 15 to 17 that do not love this world nor the things
-
it offers you. For when you love the world you
-
do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world
-
offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for
-
everything we see, a pride in our achievement and possession.
-
These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And
-
this world is fading away along with everything that people
-
crave. But anyone who does what pleases
-
God will live forever. Hallelujah.
-
Now how to live a life of concentration?
-
Concentration. Sorry, how to live a life of
-
concentration? First of all, define your
-
purpose. Define your purpose.
-
If you are here and you are confused about your life, you
-
begin to ask certain strange questions about your own life.
-
Redefine your purpose. Why are you seated here?
-
Do you want to be part of a group?
-
Or I want your name to be part of escape to English assembly.
-
Define your purpose in life that when I say define your purpose,
-
it means that ask yourself why am I here on earth when you
-
understand God's giving purpose. It's easier to say no to
-
distractions. If you are already having a
-
purpose, you if you are already married, it is.
-
It's easier to say no to a man when he tells you I'm interested
-
in you because you're already married and you are in love with
-
your husband or your wife. So you can easily say no if you
-
don't have a purpose that they will give you. 1 So begin to ask
-
yourself what is my purpose? So if you are able to ask
-
yourself why you are here, how about Cook chapter 2 verse 2 It
-
says that. Then the Lord said to me, write
-
my answers plainly on tablets. When you, Rick and James said
-
that. Write the vision and make it
-
plain. Let us know you know your
-
purpose. You need to know yourself.
-
What is your purpose? Write it and make it plain.
-
You have to know. Your purpose, if not this world
-
will give you one. This world will cage you.
-
Don't make you believe that until you go for screening, you
-
will not succeed in life and you go and die.
-
Look at what happened to some some people who are planning to
-
be soldiers. 5 ladies or 6 ladies just died, ended their
-
life. One was a teacher who was
-
teaching we we. It is good to to be ambitious,
-
to have good things you want to do in life, but make sure that
-
you are doing it according to the will of God.
-
Because the Lord. Also protects his own.
-
This world has. Planned our life in the form of
-
timetable. Now the moment you are born, in
-
the next 6 months you are supposed to have teeth.
-
You are supposed to do this. You're supposed to start
-
working. So you see some comments, Obano
-
or they say on Nancy, but this time on Nancy adding Wacho.
-
The world has a timetable, Obano on Nancy.
-
I don't go to school. Your child has not gone to
-
school. The world has a timetable.
-
Class 1 and our class of four years.
-
I'm done with my SHS. I'm in the house and I want to
-
ask you what is the last purpose for you?
-
Find your purpose don't work according to the timetable of
-
this world. Who created that particular law
-
that from here you have to go here.
-
I'm not saying it's bad. What I'm saying is if you are
-
not careful and you do not walk in the will of God, you will not
-
understand certain things. Hallelujah.
-
Now the next thing you have to do is to discipline your mind
-
and your time, running with God's purpose.
-
See, now let's say God has given you a purpose.
-
You are aware of your purpose. What is the next thing to do?
-
Discipline your mind and your time.
-
These two things. The mind is a war zone.
-
Anything that enters that place will take control over you.
-
Anything that conquers this mind takes over.
-
It will take control over you. Someone will see a very.
-
Beautiful lady and we look at a gentleman she's working with
-
people like now about way you won't understand what's going on
-
up here. The kind of the.
-
Kind of things she's getting up here, information she's getting
-
up here. The moment you are conquered
-
here. So the stronger your mind, the
-
stronger the man. How do we make?
-
Our minds stronger Bible is telling us in romance after 12
-
verse 2 that be a transformed by the renewal of your mind
-
discipline yourself. With the word of God.
-
Every day, the more you read the word of God, the more is stored
-
over there. And when you pray that the Holy
-
Ghost will remind you of the word of God, He takes what is in
-
your mind and he tells you that this is what is there.
-
I forgotten you read about this. I forgotten you read about this.
-
But you and I, if we don't read. I don't think you can.
-
Withdraw from a bank that you have no accounts there.
-
You go to a bank you want to withdraw money.
-
There's no money I've never saved before.
-
No wonder when you're praying, it's all about shouting and
-
moving the movement and encountering.
-
Pray the word of God. Lord Almighty, your word says
-
this. Your word said that.
-
There are a lot of promises the Lord has given us.
-
He's waiting for you to remind him.
-
Lord, You told me in your word that this and this and that.
-
Oh Lord Almighty, Your word says that He who dwells in the
-
shelter of the Most High shall abide in the shadows of Then you
-
see, your voice will be heard in the spiritual world.
-
Someone is speaking this. This voice is very familiar.
-
Who is that? It has ascended.
-
But if you don't read the word of God, trust me.
-
Bible says we shouldn't. Pray we shouldn't pray I miss.
-
So your mind. Is a battle a battlefield?
-
Renew your mind. When you read first.
-
Corinthians Chapter 9 verse 24 to 27, it says that do you
-
realize that a race or don't you realize that in a race everyone
-
runs in a race everybody runs, but only one person gets the
-
prize. We've been watching this
-
athletics. You see them stretching some of
-
them. If you look at the way they are
-
stretching and the way they are, they are doing this as we nearly
-
and you see the way they are built and they are going about
-
doing this and they are as if they have won.
-
But let's the person having the the the how do you call it your
-
crowd banner. Let a person just sound the
-
whole thing all shoots and let's see those who prepared and those
-
who didn't want to prepare in this race.
-
Those who prepared will show at the final end.
-
So is it as they? Are running, some people are
-
running, we all start the same. But you realize some people are
-
leaving some people, others are moving faster, others are moving
-
slow. And so you get to the end.
-
Jesus Christ is at the end of what?
-
The final you. See that there's a rope here.
-
Christ is at the end waiting for us.
-
People will run. Bible says run in such a way
-
that you will win the prize in such a way.
-
So it means there's a way that you run that you know, win the
-
prize. Others are running like this.
-
They are on the rain track like this.
-
They are modelling. Others will stand by and drink
-
water. Small Christ is standing at the
-
water, the last and waiting for us to come for the price.
-
Others have forgotten they are racing.
-
This life is a race. It will be painful to die when
-
you have not completed your race.
-
May the Lord help you to complete.
-
When you continue. It says that they do it to win a
-
prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize.
-
So I run with purpose. Say I run with purpose.
-
Oh, say I run with purpose. See even if.
-
We come for prayers. That should be a purpose.
-
Everything you do that should be a purpose.
-
Don't do it because people are doing it, Paul says.
-
I run with purpose. I run with purpose in every
-
step. Every step, every every step
-
should be victory. Every step should be victory
-
should lead you to victory. Everything you do should not
-
bring you back. So rather what move you forward.
-
Hallelujah, may the Lord order your steps.
-
I am not just a shadow boxer or I'm not shadow boxing fighting
-
with the air. When you go and meet someone
-
fighting with the air, you might think the person is mad as I
-
discipline my what? My body in some of the versions
-
says that I make my body a slave.
-
May the Lord give you that. Strength.
-
To make your. Body a slave.
-
He is the devil in disguise. This flesh is the devil in
-
disguise. If you have not seen Santa
-
before, this is Satan, the devil in disguise.
-
It is my prayer. The Lord will give you the
-
strength to make your body a slave.
-
So to make your body a slave simply means that you you tell
-
your body went to sleep. I mean, the spirit man within
-
you controls the body. You tell your body at dawn.
-
We have to pray. You tell your body.
-
I eat. At this time you realize that
-
there's a particular change of attitude.
-
When you continue to do it, the body adopts.
-
If you are someone who eats at 6:00 AM, Anopa Anopa tea Brodo
-
Kosia shop every six AM. You'll be hungry.
-
So depending on that training you give your body, it will be
-
what's adjusted to that particular training.
-
So one of the things or the greatest thing I can tell you in
-
concentration is to make your body a slave will be done in the
-
next 10 minutes. Make your body a slave.
-
Now the next thing to do is also to be very careful at the end.
-
Paul said that. I discipline.
-
My body like an athlete, training it to do what it
-
showed. Otherwise, I fear that after
-
preaching to others, I myself might be disqualified.
-
Empire and, well, you. So Crystal demo.
-
After preaching to. Someone you yourself might be
-
disqualified. So sometimes when you are at
-
your peak, allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you.
-
There is a net, there is a net they cast for people who think
-
they are. Odds are the odds at the peak.
-
I don't like it when they praise me.
-
Because when you praise. Me is like you're casting a net
-
for me between them. They're too much.
-
But when you are corrected, you showed them.
-
So let's stretch out our hands and bless our presiding elder.
-
Some of you think what? He's doing.
-
He doesn't know what he's doing when he corrects your mistake.
-
Or shower them. You might think that praises is
-
less, but that the correction is more.
-
How you are good. Hey, you are good.
-
Oh, you are very good with me all day.
-
Bible says that they create a nest.
-
A nest or a net for your feet. It's like a trap.
-
I can easily make you forget your stand.
-
Now. Depend on the Holy Spirit,
-
depend on the Holy Ghost. You can never do anything
-
without depending on the Holy Spirit.
-
See this morning, if you are here and you don't know anything
-
about Christ, please make the Holy Ghost your friend.
-
Make the Holy Spirit your friend.
-
If you don't know the Holy Spirit, please start from today.
-
If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and personal
-
Savior, do it today. If you don't know the Holy
-
Ghost, make him your friend, because he's the person who can
-
even tell you what has not happened.
-
He compels you to take the right steps.
-
He will call you. Hey, Dignas.
-
Eva. Today the car you're about to
-
board. Don't take that car.
-
It has happened before. It's not a story to one of our
-
elders. The few minutes you see that the
-
car has got in an accident. The Holy Spirit is a friend.
-
Going to heaven is not a joke. It's not easy.
-
It's not easy. So if you leave the Holy Spirit
-
out, trust me, you do everything in the flesh, you pray in the
-
flesh, you sink in the flesh, you read in the flesh, you pay
-
your tides in the flesh, everything in the flesh.
-
And you know when the flesh begin to control, you obey a
-
mass even in your tides, you begin to do calculations in your
-
tides. So Bible says in John that I
-
must decrease, that he may increase in me.
-
May that be your portion this morning in the mighty name of
-
Jesus. What is the result for a
-
concentrated life? What is the result?
-
One, when you leave a focused, spiritual filled life, you work
-
in peace. Now when I say you work in
-
peace, it's because you are not scattered.
-
You are not scattered. Oh, you see, when you are not
-
scattered, you work in peace because you know all your
-
concentration is under the cross.
-
Hey, it doesn't matter what your business is failing.
-
You know the person you are worshipping.
-
It doesn't matter if you are sick, you know the person you
-
are worshipping. It doesn't matter if you don't
-
have money. You know the person you are
-
worshipping. Your mind is not scattered, it
-
is buried under the cross of Jesus.
-
So you have peace. So let us learn as people of God
-
to bring all our worries to the cross.
-
Don't tell your friend, don't tell your pastor, don't tell
-
your elder. We can only advise you, but as a
-
greater friend. Who is more than your?
-
Pastor more than your father. Who can advise?
-
You who can direct you and that is the Holy Spirit 2 you
-
experience progress. This thing is one of my prayer
-
for each and everyone experiencing progress at the end
-
of this year. Who's the last year but this
-
year May Drew say, may it be your portion in the mighty name
-
of Jesus to experience progress by the end of this year.
-
Every spirit of delay. May it be destroyed?
-
In Jesus name. Bible says that.
-
I will restore all your wasted years.
-
So I cut 2 months to the end of this year.
-
May the Lord give your heart's desire.
-
In the mighty. Name of Jesus.
-
You achieve purpose. So you see the purpose, you
-
should be able to achieve it because you pursue what God
-
wants for you every morning. God, I'm Apple.
-
It is you who granted in my life.
-
What should I do? What should I do?
-
Just ask that question and go. That is all.
-
The instructions will begin to watch, begin to come.
-
You become powerful because your attention fuels your anointing,
-
Hallelujah. Your attention fuels your
-
anointing. Hallelujah.
-
If you want to see someone who has anointing, the person has a
-
special attention for the Lord. Your attention will fuel your
-
anointing. Musicians, if you want to move
-
far, your attention will fuel your anointing.
-
Have time for the Lord. Ministry leaders, if you want to
-
move far, your attention must fuel your anointing.
-
So if you see a. Leader who has no power.
-
It means that their. Attention is buried somewhere
-
else because there is no one who will bury his attention in
-
Christ and will not be anointed. A laser light.
-
A laser light. We all know a laser light.
-
The moment all the beam is focused at a particular ground,
-
it will cut through. Why?
-
Because they are all one chief worker said prior laser.
-
It can cut through metal because all the beam is directed in the
-
same way. In the same way, or likewise.
-
Believers focus on God. Can breakthrough limitations
-
give God all your attention? To live.
-
A life of concentration. You must be unleashed, released
-
for every distraction, sin, fear, doubt.
-
God is calling you today to focus on one thing He created
-
you to do. So just as Paul said, this one
-
thing I do, this one thing I do, I press towards the mark for the
-
prize. There are a lot of things for
-
you to do in English assembly, but this one thing you do, this
-
one thing you do, this one thing you must do to press towards the
-
mark for the prize for a high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
-
Paul said in Second Timothy, As I bring it to an end, Second
-
Timothy four to seven, I have fought the good fights, I have
-
finished the race and I have remained faithful.
-
May that be your portion. The same person who was saying
-
that one thing I must watch one man, one thing I must forget, or
-
one thing I must leave behind. And because I was able to do
-
that, that same person is giving a testimony that I have fought
-
the good fights and I have finished the race and I have
-
remained faithful. May the Lord cause you to be
-
faithful even in your journey, in your, in your, in your race.
-
May the Lord cause you to be faithful.
-
May the Lord cause you to remember Him every day.
-
May He grant us the power to live a concentrated life because
-
it is the fastest way to know Jesus.
-
And if you get to know Jesus, everything else you are doing
-
here will be anointed. You pick the mic and you speak
-
and anointing flows. You play the organ, the
-
anointing flows. You clean the chest.
-
People come to sit and receive healing.
-
Everything you are doing here anointing can flow through.
-
You prepare tea and bread. People eat and you are healed.
-
And you don't understand. What happened?
-
May the Lord cause that to be your portion in Jesus name,
-
Amen. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah,
-
shall we stretch our hands and bless her elder.
-
Gloriously bless you. Amen, Unleashed to live a life
-
of consecration this morning when I was baffing.
-
The Lord told. Me today he's going to anoint
-
his church. So when?
-
I heard the voice, I was laughing.
-
I say, ah, there is a Church of God.
-
Not anointed. So when I came and then service
-
started and Brother Kingsford and the wife entered.
-
Today they came at 7:55. And then I heard.
-
Again, I have told you that today I'm going to anoint my
-
church. And then?
-
He said when I anoint my church, when I anoint my church,
-
ordinary things does not take place, things that are normal
-
are changed. Amen.
-
So when I. Started preaching, then I this
-
picture came to my mind. You know the Church of
-
Pentecost, we do a lot of dedication.
-
Another word for consecration is dedication.
-
When we. Buy this flower.
-
We pray over it, right? When we pray over it, what it
-
means is that it's been dedicated, it's been consecrated
-
for the Lord. So what it means is that it's
-
been set aside. It is for the Lord.
-
It is no more an ordinary son. So what Elder is trying to tell
-
us this evening is that the life God has given unto us, it is no
-
more ours. Our life belongs to God and I
-
want to believe that is the reason why God said He will
-
anoint His Church. The reason why he.
-
Will anoint us is because our life does not belong to us.
-
Amen. And let me say this then we pray
-
when God says he will anoint. It doesn't.
-
Matter your record, it doesn't matter who you are.
-
He is the sole decision taker. And the word is.
-
That He will anoint, and He has confirmed with his weight and
-
life of consecration. So this morning, if you are
-
here, the Lord is telling us that your life belongs to Him.
-
Amen. Shall we be on our feet?
-
Take my life and consecrate and Lord.
-
Of course, when your. Life is consecrated.
-
Everything about your life will praise God when your life is
-
consecrated. Everything.
-
About your life will praise God. Let me say this, when your life
-
is consecrated, everything about your life is pleasant to God.
-
When you are consecrated, you live a holy and a righteous
-
life. When you are consecrated, you
-
live an intentional life. Amen.
-
If you can, please raise your hands.
-
Some of us we are not consecrated by God is saying
-
that He has anointed us. And here I.
-
See God demonstrating his mercy upon us, Jesus, I we shouldn't
-
take God's mercy for granted. Jesus, should I be God?
-
Some of you the way I know you, what I will do to you, but.
-
His word. Is.
-
Final and his word says that he has anointed you.
-
So now that he has given us his weight, if I should be you, I'll
-
align my life with the word. Of God.
-
Deep. My life and let it be all set
-
later, Lords too deep, deep my movements and my face like a
-
blow with ceaseless praise. Take my life and let it be your
-
horse ever it's hello to. Me take.
-
My moment and my legs, let alone shall you open.
-
Your mouth and educate your life unto the Lord.
-
Lord, we have come unto you this morning.
-
We want to dedicate our lives unto you.
-
This. Morning we dedicate our lives
-
unto you. This morning we dedicate our
-
lives unto you. This morning we dedicate our
-
lives unto you. For you are the.
-
Author and the finisher of our cage this morning, as your word
-
has come unto us. We.
-
Dedicate our lives unto you. It is our.
-
Prayer, oh Lord, that you shall take us back in the name of
-
Jesus. Even as we.
-
Dedicate our lives unto you. May you?
-
Rule a red in our hearts, Lord, if you know sweet, dedicate our
-
lives or tissues. May you take your?
-
Rightful place in our hearts. May you take your?
-
Rightful place in our hearts. May you take your?
-
Rightful place in our hearts. The Believer.
-
Who is consecrated unto the Lord?
-
It means that the Lord rules and reigns in His hearts.
-
It means that the Lord has captivated his hearts and
-
therefore he falls in love with the Lord at all times, and
-
everything he does he. Seeks to please him.
-
This morning we want to ask the Lord.
-
To rule in our. Hearts.
-
To captivate our hearts. So that.
-
We can, please. Shall we pray, Father, in the
-
name of Jesus? We invite you.
-
In the name of Jesus, that you come and take your right to
-
place in our hearts. That you shall.
-
Rule and reign in our heart to Lord.
-
That you shall. Captivate our hearts that
-
because you have consecrated us, we shall love you not with our
-
mere mouth, but in our actions, in our doings, we shall
-
demonstrate our love towards sweet Holy Spirit.
-
May you help? US.
-
May you help me? Activate my heart.
-
Let your Kingdom come. And stop, let your will be done.
-
If you can. I want you to raise your two
-
hands. Whatever we raise our two hands,
-
what it means is that we are solely depending on the Holy
-
Spirit. We have.
-
No power. We are not spent on our own.
-
And. Therefore we surrender unto you.
-
Let. Your Kingdom come.
-
Let's show me no plan A stylish. Channel.
-
Through Let's go. Papa None.
-
The. Anoint us with friends.
-
The. We are praying our.
-
Last prayer, the Bible says. No one comes to God and leaves
-
the same. And before we.
-
Came he already made his intention known to us, and when
-
he came, he has confirmed it with his.
-
Weight, the rest is in your hands.
-
The Lord has spoken. How do you accept His weight?
-
How do you hold on to His weight?
-
As we are singing this last song, it is our prayer.
-
I want you to sing it with understanding.
-
The Lord said he will anoint you Jesus.
-
And when he came? He said living a life of
-
consecration. The word the Lord has spoken.
-
Your duty is to grab. Waiting.
-
For your touch low. You are here this.
-
Morning. You are here.
-
Your mind is telling you that the anointing we are talking
-
about, you do not qualify. You look at yourself.
-
You look at. Your situation, everything about
-
your situation speaks says that you are not qualified.
-
The Lord is saying that you that person, Yes, he's.
-
Anointing Jesus. Anoint us with flesh all your.
-
Anoint us with flesh. All your all your promise,
-
majesty. From there by there's going
-
through. Oh.
-
Yeah, that never runs right through the anointed one.
-
May you humbly. Receive your seats as.
-
You receive. Your seats, I want you to pray
-
within your hearts. The anointing.
-
Of God is all over the place. And you are the.
-
Reason why the anointing have been made available this
-
morning. I want you to speak.
-
Unto the Lord within your hearts.
-
The anointing of God is overflowing.
-
The anointing. Of God is overflowing.
-
The anointing of God that enables the believer to do the
-
extraordinary, the. Anointing of God.
-
This one is. Someone is being transformed.
-
The. Transformation.
-
From the Holy. Spirit is taking place.
-
Someone is being elevated by the power of the Holy Ghost.
-
Someone. Is being promoted.
-
By the power of the Holy Ghost, someone who has given up is
-
being restored to Karabasuki and.
-
We. Bow.
-
Before your truth. We invite.

A small towns Father we say we thank you.
