-
So I'll put it up there for us, the blessing, right?
-
So this is a series, the blessing of God's name.
-
Somebody said the blessing of God's name, OK?
-
Because when his name is on you, you are blessed.
-
He protected your cover. Heaven's back to you.
-
You're backed by heaven when God's hand.
-
Can you send me some money? OK, Because I remember when I
-
started, I used to be a student by by five years degree.
-
I started in Pretoria. So I lived in Pretoria and we
-
shared student accommodation and so there are about 20 of us in
-
the student accommodation. And so we share kitchen
-
facilities, share the fridge. And let me just tell you, when
-
you have hungry students around sharing the fridge, the fridge
-
becomes a battlefield. Oh my goodness.
-
I'm just, let me just tell you. And so we had this very
-
important rule in the student accommodation.
-
And the rule was like, make sure that your food has got your name
-
on it, OK? Because if you put your name on
-
something, that means it's yours.
-
OK? Now, it's funny because if you
-
wrote your name on the milk, you've got about 24 hours to
-
drink it before somebody suddenly forgot how to read.
-
It's happened to me many times. Like my name was on the milk.
-
I put my milk on the next time, like what's happened to my milk,
-
OK, somebody forgot how to read, OK, because my name was on
-
there. Like my name's on that milk.
-
And OK, anyway, So. But when God listen, and I want
-
you to just tell you because when God's name is on you, it's
-
not just a small thing is heaven is saying, listen, hands off.
-
That one's mine. Oh, my God.
-
Oh, yes. When God puts his name on your
-
life, hands off, devil. That one's mine.
-
That one belongs to me. You cannot have that one.
-
You cannot touch that one. That one's got my signature.
-
That one's got my name on it. You don't touch it.
-
OK? It's not like some of the
-
students in the student accommodation.
-
OK. All right.
-
So are we ready for this this morning somebody, Oh, I feel
-
this word burning and I just want to go straight into our
-
anchor scripture. Who can remember our anchor
-
scripture for the series? Numbers chapter 6.
Numbers 6 chapter mention
-
OK, now let's go then and let me show you something powerful
-
today. Numbers chapter 6 verse 24.
-
It says the Lord will bless you and keep you.
-
The Lord makes his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
-
The Lord lift up his countless upon you and give you peace.
-
Let's just pray finally, thank you for your presence in this
-
place. Oh Lord, we come to honor your
-
name, the name of Jesus. That's above every name.
-
We honor, we bless, we glorify. Let your name be glorified.
-
Oh Lord, open our ears to yell, open our eyes to see.
-
Lord, let your word come alive. Let faith arise.
-
And we declare today that your name is on us, and we carry the
-
blessing. Amen.
-
Somebody say Amen, Hallelujah, and so I just want to show you
-
this amazing verse because thank God they didn't stop at verse 26
-
because the very next verse is very easily to miss majority are
-
we quote up until 26. And so I'm like Lord, I'm like,
-
how do you want to conclude that?
-
He's like the Lord just highlighted the very next verse,
-
verse 27. It jumped off the page when I
-
read it because verse 27 is really the cheering up attack.
-
Verse 20, we, we, we quoted up until 26, very famous.
-
But what happens to the next verse?
-
Because the very next verse brings it all together.
-
The very next verse 27, it shows us the reason behind the
-
blessing. And this is what we're going to
-
look at today. What we're going to focus on
-
today is verse 27, the reason behind the blessing.
-
OK, verse 27 because it just shows you what's really
-
happening when the blessing is spoken.
-
Are you ready for verse 26 seven.
-
OK, thank God he didn't stop at verse 26 and we thank God for
-
but now this is how it all comes together.
-
My God, I'm so excited about the upper grand finale today.
-
I'm like God has given us a word.
-
I'm telling you our lives will never be the second again.
-
Watch this what's this? This is powerful verse 27.
-
It says this sound thy shall put my name on the children of
-
Israel, and I will bless them. Oh, Hallelujah.
-
Don't you catch that somebody? Yeah, put the name.
-
So when God's name is on you, something powerful happens.
-
When the name of God is on you, blessing follows.
-
When the name of God is on, blessing follows.
-
Hallelujah. Come on somebody.
-
Thank God. Say thank you Lord, for your
-
name. Yeah, it's all come to this
-
conclusion, this grand finalist climax where God shows us right
-
off the 26th. This is it.
-
Put the name of God. I will bless you.
-
Hallelujah. I'm excited.
-
So when his name is on you, then heaven is involved, the name of
-
God. And so we are talking about
-
Onisha, right? You belong.
-
So it's like, like I said, you write your name on the lunch.
-
OK, so when you write your name on your lunch, let's say at work
-
or you've got your lunch box, you write your name on it.
-
OK, So when you write your name on something, that means it's
-
yours. OK, Now maybe it you like, well,
-
like me at the one day, perhaps you put your name on the lunch
-
box and maybe one of the work colleagues, you know, still ate
-
it. So that's my answer.
-
OK, maybe it might, it might have happened.
-
OK, it happened to me, the student models.
-
But maybe you put your name on the lunch bar and then somebody
-
up in the fridge and OK, they ate a lunch.
-
OK, let me just tell you something.
-
Some good news. We can't put his name on.
-
Trust me, no table in hell more than me, no table, table will
-
touch you. They will not steal that one.
-
You might steal my lunch. Yellow drink my milk.
-
Yeah. When God's name is on your life.
-
No devil never touch. Oh, Jesus.
-
I feel the power of God in this place.
-
The name of God in this place. Oh, Hallelujah.
-
When God's name now in our home with our busy boys.
-
Pull it, Joshua. They're still learning to share,
-
OK. And so because they are still
-
learning to share and, you know, everything ends up with a name
-
on the socks. The school uniform is the name
-
on the on the jacket, There's a name on the shoe, There's a name
-
on the clothes. Even the water bottles.
-
I was looking the other day for find a water bottle.
-
I'm like, I'm like, well, this one's got Peters now that's just
-
that's Pete Paul's and that it's got just names on everything.
-
And so parents, OK, you know, when you have reached a new
-
level of parenthood, a new level, it is when you start
-
naming everything. You name everything in the
-
house. You, this one's got a name.
-
You put that name on the water bottle, you start naming
-
everything. OK, So what I want you to catch
-
today is that when God's name is on you, it means you have been
-
marked. You've been marked by heaven.
-
Where God, which is named, not marked by a past, unmarked by
-
the mistakes or what people called you, you've been marked
-
by heaven. OK, so that's ownership, that's
-
belonging. It means that you are not alone.
-
So some of us have been living like we have been still trying
-
to qualify, still trying to get love, trying to be perfect
-
person, trying to be good and trying to be all do everything
-
perfect and spiritual enough. But here's the good news.
-
When you put your faith in Jesus, you don't live from a
-
place of trying. You live from a place of
-
belonging, OK? You don't try and get loved.
-
You're already loved. You don't try and get accepted.
-
You already accepted in Christ. Come up somebody, Hallelujah.
-
And so you start living with a new confidence because you
-
realize that God's name is on me.
-
OK, Hallelujah, God's name is on me.
-
What a powerful. So when you face might be a
-
difficult or a tough situation at work, remind yourself his
-
name is on me. So when you face difficulty or
-
you wake up in the morning and you feel the pressure of the job
-
of the work, remind yourself his name is on me.
-
And you get up and you're standing for your family, all
-
your finances or your health. Whatever the situation, reminder
-
his name is on me. Somebody shout, say, I want you
-
to say that his name is on me. Try it again.
-
His name is on me. Because when his name is on me,
-
what happened? The bubble, Obama, he will
-
blaze. Just read it from the Bible.
-
When his name is on you, He will bless.
-
So say with me. His name is on me.
-
He will bless me. Come on, give God some Christ in
-
this place. Come on, say it again.
-
God will bless me. Yeah, because of his name.
-
God's name is powerful. We see it right there in Matthew
-
6 in the Lord's Prayer. Oh Father, our Father in heaven,
-
hallowed be thy name, the name of God hallowed meets holy.
-
That means we honor God's name. Let me show you that very you
-
know this is verifiable. It says Matthew 6 in this
-
manner. Therefore pray our Father in
-
heaven hallowed be your so the word hallowed meets holy sitting
-
apart carries way. OK OK so it's just now this one.
-
So I got this one the most one testing 1-2 hour, I'm back
-
there. Praise God.
-
Thank you, Lord. I'll just put this one up here
-
anyways. So it's not common.
-
It reminds us that when we pray that with honor God's name, we
-
honor the name of God. OK.
-
And so the name of God carries authority, it carries power.
-
And so this verse always makes me smile because it reminds me
-
of the little boy who prayed the Lord's Prayer.
-
And so the little boy prayed our father who art in heaven, herald
-
be thy name. And so the mother says, my son,
-
OK, it's hallowed me that. And so the boy says, oh, I
-
thought God's name is herald, Herald be thy name.
-
OK, so it's not herald, Herald, it's hallowed be thy name.
-
OK, holy is thy name. But when God's name is on you,
-
blessing follows. Because the scripture says that
-
I will bless them. God doesn't say I might bless
-
them. OK, God doesn't say if you
-
behave perfectly, I maybe bless you.
-
The Bible says God bull place them.
-
That's it. That's not just wishful
-
thinking, that's covenant because of his name.
-
Come on somebody. So God puts his stamp on your
-
life. So he's not just trying to give
-
you a nice little verse so you can feel better.
-
OK, He's giving you his promise. God says I am making you a
-
promise when my name is on your life, I will bless you.
-
God cannot lie. He's not a man that he will lie.
-
He's the he's the almighty God. And when God says when my name
-
is on you because of covenant, because of pro, I make your
-
promise, I will bless you. My God, he, I mean admit this is
-
God's name. It makes it official.
-
His name makes it official. It's like signing a contract.
-
That's how we make it official, right?
-
But you signature sign me. It was like writing an e-mail,
-
but now the e-mail is sitting in the draft because you feel that
-
you have not finished it yet until you type your name at the
-
bottom of the e-mail. The moment you type your name at
-
the bottom of or you've signed the call.
-
Where can I sign? Sir, let's make this contract
-
right now Sign. It's done, right?
-
Where do I sign? Where do I put my name?
-
The Mugland. You put your name at the bottom
-
of the e-mail, you fix it. It's official.
-
That's what God's plan does. God's name makes it official.
-
God says when I put my name on you, that's official.
-
You please. Oh, I feel anointing in this
-
place. Yeah, it's official.
-
So that's how we so possible. How do we do it?
-
How do I get God's name on my life?
-
I, I want this, I mean like a mag because then God's name will
-
draw a magnet, the blessing of God.
-
That's it. So possible.
-
How do we do this? How do we get the name of God?
-
I'm glad you asked because this is so important.
-
Because the blessing is not just something that we hear at church
-
and forget about at lunchtime. The blessing is something that
-
you speak in your life. You speak it in your situation.
-
You're not just repeating nice words when you speak a blessing.
-
You're putting the name of God on something when you speak it.
-
You're putting the name of God on that situation when you speak
-
it. Are you getting this somebody?
-
I've answered the question because like, OK, we want the
-
name of God, unless, how do we get the name of God?
-
Unless I've just given you the answer there, OK, You speak it
-
over your life. You speak it over your house,
-
you speak it over your career. You speak it over your, your
-
finances, your help. You speak it over.
-
Because when you speak it over your marriage and your kids and
-
your children and your future, what happens when you speak it?
-
You're not just repeating nice words.
-
You are putting the name of God on that situation.
-
Are you getting this And so when you speak it over your house,
-
your family, your children, when you speak the blessing and you
-
put the the because I want you to grab hold of this is the key.
-
The aces of this revelation. The moment you speak it over
-
your home, your family, your career, What happens is you have
-
they put the name of God on that situation and I'm going to show
-
you from the Bible right now and I'm going to you put the name
-
and the moment on your house, you home, your children.
-
The moment you put the name of God, what happens?
-
Placing as to follow, placing as to follow.
-
So you have spoken, you say the word.
-
That's how we apply the blood. How do we apply the blood of
-
Jesus? We don't go like the old cover,
-
like put on doorpost and all that.
-
We apply the blood by speaking it.
-
I plead the blood, I plead the blood, I plead the blood.
-
So how do we put the name of God on that situation?
-
Like the workplace on your marriage, how you speak it, you
-
speak and God, you put the name of God on your marriage, on your
-
family, on your are you getting this somebody so you don't have
-
to wait for a perfect moment or a perfect time or situation.
-
You can speak the placing and right near where you are.
-
This is for everyday life. This is for Monday morning.
-
This is for in the traffic. This is for the school run every
-
day at the kitchen table, for everyday life.
-
OK, so that's it parents. When you speak the placing over
-
your children, when you speak the placing of a family member,
-
you are putting God's name on that child.
-
Oh Jesus, you are putting God's name on that family member.
-
When you speak it, you speak that blessing on that situation,
-
on that business, on that family member, on Pracnol.
-
You are putting God's name on Pracnol already.
-
Oh, we plead the pride and we stick his name.
-
Oh, and when you put the name of God on that family, on that
-
situation, this thing has to follow it.
-
Oh God honest, His name. Oh Hallelujah.
-
So this week, put his name on your house.
-
Put his name on your family. Put his name on your career, on
-
your future and your finances. Put his name on your health.
-
Put his name on your body, on your mind.
-
Put his name. OK, Now you don't have to
-
belong, OK? You don't have to use fancy
-
words. You're all, you know, fancy.
-
God's not moved by fancy. Well, fancy accent fancy.
-
Well, God's moved by faith, OK, the faith of God.
-
And so sometimes, you know, something shifts when we stop
-
reacting to life, Reacting to what?
-
The enemy reacting and we start blessing, life speaking,
-
blessing over our community speaking, blessing.
-
And we're not always, like they said to me and rugby, the coach
-
always said, listen well, don't run back when you play rugby,
-
OK. You go on your fence, you go
-
forward. We're not always on the back
-
like, oh, what's going to happen now?
-
What's going to happen? No, no, we are yet to take over.
-
We're here to rule a terrain. We are the head of the tail.
-
Nobody cry. Yeah, we are the restraining.
-
We are the chance of Jesus Christ and whatever the
-
Antichrist of the devil, we say no.
-
And we stopping this. Nothing the devil can do about
-
it. God has placed us here.
-
We are walking with the authority of his name.
-
Not in the city, not in my watch, because we walk without
-
authority. The name of Jesus, that's the
-
authority. We come.
-
You know, some of you, you're going to start feeling peace
-
comes back into your heart. Some of you, you're going to
-
you're going to sleep better. You're going to sleep and you're
-
going to wake up refreshed. You're going to feel strong when
-
you wake up in the morning. Families, children, even
-
families are going to be calmer, more happier, more joy.
-
It's shift. It manages families.
-
What's this? Why?
-
Because you put God's name. Yeah, you put God's name on it.
-
There's a shift that happens that takes place when you put
-
the name of God in your workplace.
-
Wherever you go. This shift comes because you're
-
putting his name on it. And when his name is on you, it
-
gives you value. When the name of God on you
-
listen, you become extremely valuable.
-
Oh yes, when the name of God is on you, I want you to see what
-
it does to your it. It just changes things.
-
Let me give you an example. Walk into shopping by a football
-
shirt, 20 powers. OK football shirt right you take
-
that a football shirt same colour, same that that football
-
shirt that has been wore in a match.
-
OK, by a name that is carrying influence.
-
What happens to that T-shirt, that football shirt, if it's
-
been worn in a match by Cristiano Ronaldo?
-
Now it goes from 20 lbs value to 50,000 lbs Am I?
-
Am I talking? OK?
-
I've read it online sex. One of those match worn shirts
-
can now sell for £50,000. OK, same color, same logos, same
-
badges. So what?
-
I mean we read even in the World Cup final when you have Messi
-
and he puts on a shirt, no how can AT shirt a football shirt
-
goes from 20 lbs Macy's one in World Cup final when he a much
-
worn T-shirt football shirt from Macy can reach up to millions.
-
How did the value change suddenly?
-
Not because of the fabric or the colors.
-
The shirt can look the same. The one in the shop at Macy, it
-
can look exactly. It can look the same side by
-
outside colors. What changed?
-
The value of the shirt, Who it belonged to?
-
It belong. It's got the signature, it's got
-
Ronaldo and it's got Maxi signature 90.
-
Who does it belong to? So who it's connected to that
-
football shirt? Who's connected?
-
All of a sudden the value changes.
-
I want you to catch this because you may feel ordinary, but you
-
belong to somebody who is extraordinary.
-
You belong to the King of kings, the highest God you are
-
connected to. You belong to God.
-
That changes your value, it changes your work, it makes you
-
extremely valuable. That's what happens.
-
How does a football shirt that cost £20 changes to millions?
-
Who you belong to, That's how you change your value.
-
The moment you belong to someone greater, the moment you belong
-
to Almighty God, you transistor and you become extremely
-
valuable, Extremely. Your value changes, it shifts.
-
You don't live like, oh, I'm not good enough, I'm not smart
-
enough, I'm not talented enough. You don't live that way anymore
-
because the truth is who you belong to changes everything.
-
Who are you connected to? Ownership creates wealth.
-
Who owns that church? That that football church?
-
Ronaldo, Messi. Now it's not 20 lbs anymore.
-
No, it's billions. So you go and your failure
-
changes one because you are a daughter of God.
-
You're a son of God. Oh my God, you're finally
-
changes. You are a King's kid.
-
You are royalty from in your brow.
-
Oh my God, you're not normal. You're just angry.
-
It's everything you are then higher.
-
You are lifted up. The problem says that you have
-
been translated into the Kingdom of light.
-
Really. You have been seated in every
-
places. You are at two places and right
-
now you are in two places. You're already in every You're
-
already sitting in every places. That's the the Bible.
-
So that's just the revelation that I want to share today
-
because of you are not average, you're not forgotten because
-
that T-shirt, that Ronaldo or messy T-shirt, when they have
-
the signature on God puts his signature on your life.
-
The moment he puts his signature on your life, you are marked by
-
heaven in the spiritual world, you are recognised.
-
God says that one is fine. You're not touching.
-
The enemy has lost the mission. You see, the enemy hates this
-
message because he hates it when you know who you are.
-
He hates it when he know. When you know your value, when
-
you have gone, you've been transferred from the Kingdom of
-
God to Kingdom of light. When you're a child of God, you
-
know your value. Because when you know your value
-
you won't walk around intimidated, find nobody.
-
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You won't be afraid, you won't
-
watch you. You will not be walking to mid
-
small intimidated by nobody. You will feel nobody.
-
When you know, you know who you are, when you know your value,
-
when you know who you are, you will you will stop settling for
-
less than God's best. You're not being intimidated
-
because you know who you are, because you know who you are.
-
You know who you are wise because you know who you belong
-
to. You belong.
-
You know your father. Yeah.
-
So you stop shrinking. You stop being, you know when
-
you really know your value, OK, how much your your value, OK.
-
You will stop being pushed around by people's opinions.
-
My critics. I just laugh.
-
I know. I ignore it.
-
I know what God has done for us. I know.
-
Please love the little chain, Chain.
-
Chain. Little critical.
-
Yeah, I love it. I just laugh.
-
I thank God for critics. Honestly, I've been I've been
-
around for a long time. I've been around around
-
different places. We'll we'll just show them the
-
value of God, the value of God. And so yes, the scripture says
-
Ephesians 2 verse 10. It says we for we are his
-
workmanship created in Christ Jesus.
-
OK God's handiwork masterpiece. So either he just throw you
-
together. OK, he formed you on purpose.
-
Psalm 139. I will praise you for I am
-
fearfully a wonderfully matter. So God's intentional with you.
-
He took time with you. You are one of a kite.
-
And so here's what I what I want us to do today is that we have
-
to break the lie that tries to steal your value and your worth.
-
Because some people, they base their value and their worth
-
based on their performance. Like if I can achieve well, if I
-
can get score great guys, if I get qualification again, then
-
I'm answered, then I'm valuable. Then I have good value.
-
If I or some people, they base their performance based on on
-
their past, like, oh, I've made mistakes.
-
Now I'm just but listen, your worth, your value is not based
-
on your performance. It's not based how would you,
-
but it's not the value. And the world is based on who
-
made you, who created who you belong to.
-
That's your value. That's your worth, not place on
-
our performance. If I score straight A's, get
-
another qualified educate, get a gold medal, it's placed on God,
-
who you belong to, OK. And so people may have rejected
-
you, but God charged. People may have walked out, but
-
God stayed. And so, you know, maybe some
-
people they've they've called you thing, you know, labeled
-
you, but God has put his name on you.
-
Somebody said out loud, I belong to God.
-
Yeah, said again, I belong to God.
-
Now, can we go a better deeper? Is that OK?
-
Because, you know, we focus on identity right now.
-
Let's go deeper because this name is powerful.
-
Somebody said power. Come on.
-
OK, Because his name, it carries power.
-
There is power in the name of Jesus.
-
Yeah. So there is power in the name of
-
Jesus. Talent.
-
Like I said, there is power in the name of Jesus.
-
Yeah. Yeah.
-
There's power in the name of Jesus.
-
OK. And so when you carry the name
-
of Jesus, you carry heaven's authority.
-
Heaven's power. So you carry what heaven carries
-
when you carry the name of Jesus, when the name of God is
-
on you, the mark of God. God should not on you.
-
Let me show you this in the book of Acts chapter 3, Peter and
Acts 3 chapter mention
-
John, they're on their way to the temple to pray like their
-
usual normal routine. Go to pray.
-
OK? That's what we do.
-
And so they try. And so, yeah, Peter and John,
-
they come to the gate called beautiful, and there they've got
-
this man. This man is late since birth,
-
his bank and the bulk. So then to carry him there to
-
this guy called the and so there he is and he's been stuck there
-
for years. I mean, they carry in the day
-
after day, year after year. This is some for years.
-
He's stuck there in his whole life.
-
And some of you know how that feels.
-
There are some of you here. You know what it feels to be
-
stuck. Maybe not on your legs, maybe
-
not stuck in your legs, but stuck in fear, stuck in stress,
-
stuck in a job, stuck in a difficult situation.
-
You feel stuck. You know what it feels like to
-
be stuck in a situation? Stuck in anxiety, a habit, stuck
-
in an addiction, stuck in a cycle.
-
It feels like you're stuck in a series.
-
And that just keeps on repeating.
-
OK, now you are doing your very best, but deep down you know
-
that this is not how it's supposed to be, OK?
-
And so the man is sitting at the gate begging.
-
Now the man sees Peter and John and the moment he sees them, he
-
asked them for money. He asked them, OK, because he's
-
expecting coins. He's expecting something small.
-
When you have been stuck in as the job for a long time, you
-
start expecting big. He's expecting something small,
-
something low. Now he's digging there and he's
-
asking. And Peter look straight at him
-
and say, look at us. Meaning don't miss your moment.
-
This is your moment. This is your moment right now.
-
And so Peter says to listen. Silver and gold I don't have.
-
But what I do have, what I do have give you.
-
Peter has got the name. He carries that name, the
-
placing of God's name. What I drew half Oh my God, I
-
feel anointing now I want you to get this because it's like what
-
I do have. This is what I and then he put
-
God's name on that situation. What my God.
-
So then the goal I don't have, but what I do have, I have the
-
name of God. And so I put the name of God.
-
That man is Lebson's birth. So I'm going to put the name of
-
God on you. Here comes the turning point
-
too, because it's like, look at us.
-
Don't miss no opportunity. Don't miss your moment.
-
Don't miss your moment. So the goal that what I do have,
-
the name of God, I'm going to give you.
-
I put the name of God looked at as he looked straight at him in
-
his eyes in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth walk.
-
Notice he did not say Peter did not say in my name.
-
Peter did not say in my education.
-
Peter did not say in my talent, in my studies, in my ability, in
-
my performance, because I'm a good person.
-
People, people that don't say that, he said in the name of
-
Jesus. Oh, and the Bible says the feet
-
and the ankles became strong strength into the man's body.
-
And he stood up, he started walking, then he started
-
jumping, then he started praising God.
-
And the people around were shocked.
-
They were stung. Well, it isn't this the man who
-
has been stuck for years? Isn't this the lame man?
-
Yes, it's the same man, but he's different.
-
Why? Because of the lame, the
-
blessing of God's name is different.
-
This power is the name. That's the power in the name.
-
The power in the name. He asked.
-
He was speaking. He asked for Quinced.
-
The name gave him legs. Oh, Hallelujah.
-
That's right. He was breaking there not
-
because he was lazy. He was begging because he had no
-
other option, that he could not get a job.
-
He's begging for money. He's asking for something just
-
to survive, just to get through the day.
-
So he's asking for that. But the name gave him a new
-
future, a brand new future. The name of God gave him a
-
complete new life. Honolulu, have somebody.
-
You've done some things in this life.
-
Hallelujah. And so I just want you to notice
-
that line when Peter say what I do have as Christian, it's so
-
easy to focus on what we don't have.
-
Oh, it looks like that person's got such a big house.
-
It's not 345 houses I don't have.
-
It's so easy to focus on what we don't have.
-
Look on Facebook. Oh, look at that person's life.
-
Wow, look up right there. Look up much money there.
-
And as Christian, Oh my goodness, I don't have this.
-
I don't have. Listen, no, Peter said.
-
What I do have, and let me just tell you what I do have, that's
-
the greatest. Peters What I do have is
-
something greater, the blessing of God's name.
-
When you have Jesus, when you have the name of God, you have
-
got more than success, money, all of that, all of that dreams
-
when you've got the name of God, when you've got the blessing of
-
God, because when you've got the name of God, the blessing
-
follows. The Bible says it for the sake
-
of the Kingdom of God, and then all the other things will be
-
added, The Gentiles, the hidden, the sins will look for money,
-
wealth, flame, treasure. That's what the world is after.
-
God says no, you run after my Kingdom and I'll take what they
-
do. I'll give it to you.
-
The wealth transfer, the wealth of the wicked is later for the
-
just so they are storing up for the just so you don't chase the
-
places you do the name of God, the Kingdom of God, because when
-
you've got God's name on you, blessing follows.
-
So what Peter saying what I do have, and that is the highest is
-
the name of God. That's the blessing that follows
-
when you have the name because what's in the name, what heaven
-
puts in that night. You understand that the
-
authority to go heaven in that night.
-
That's what we have. The name of God.
-
Everything heaven has, the authority, the power.
-
Everything heaven has is wrapped up in that night.
-
There's peace in that night. There's joy in that night.
-
There's true happiness in that night.
-
There's freedom in that night. Oh, there is mythology in that
-
name. There is healing in that name.
-
Peter and John, they said to the guy, we put the name of God on
-
you. Whatever it is that you need
-
today, we put the name of God on that situation.
-
Whatever it is, if it's joy, we put the name on.
-
If it's peace, if you struggle with depression, anxiety, fear,
-
we put the name of God on there. If you need a breakthrough, we
-
put the name of God. If you sick and you need
-
healing, we put the name. We speak the name, so we put
-
God's name on because everything that heaven has is wrapped up in
-
that name. Authorities in that name, power
-
is in that name. Somebody shout Hallelujah.
-
So this week, do what Peter did and use what God has given you.
-
What I do have is the name. So put the name on your home,
-
your finances, your health. Put God's name on your home.
-
When you walk in the door, we put God's name on you.
-
On this carp the gods. That doesn't have to be low.
-
Before I send my kids to school, I placed it.
-
Put the name of God on them. Put God's name on it.
-
Hallelujah on this fridge, put the name of God on you.
-
Put the name of God on it. Come on.
-
I really believe that people are grabbing this revelation because
-
years ago all the time I picked up that apply the blood and some
-
God showed me these things and God said, listen, I'll put down
-
my name as well because in fact, the name is right there, our
-
Father in heaven. It's the Lord's Prayer.
-
It's right there. The very first line, the name of
-
God. Yeah, put the name of God.
-
Listen, we the more we're going to apply, you're going to see
-
these blessings follow things shift.
-
Put God's name on your situation.
-
If it's a situation with depression or secrets, put the
-
name of God on it. Put the name when fear tries to
-
flare up. You just speak the name.
-
You speak His name. You speak the name.
-
When anxiety tries to attack in the middle of the night
-
nightmare, Just speak the name. Just speak the name.
-
I just love that song. I speak Jesus.
-
I just want to speak the name of Jesus.
-
I speak Jesus. Your name is power.
-
Your name is healing. Your name is light.
-
Break every stronghold. Shine through the shadows.
-
Shine like a fire. Burn like a fire.
-
So I speak Jesus. Come on, say I speak Jesus.
-
Yeah, I love that I speak. Some of you just need to speak
-
Jesus over your mind. Just speak Jesus over your
-
family, speak Jesus over your work, over your career, over
-
your finances, over your phone. I speak Jesus over this phone.
-
Just speak Jesus over it. All these things that's
-
connected to us, cars, situations, business, speaking,
-
speak. Some of you speak Jesus over
-
that addiction, because Jesus, the moment you speak Jesus, it
-
shifts the atmosphere, it changes the atmosphere, it
-
breaks strongholds. Whatever addiction, whatever
-
problem you speak Jesus, it breaks strongholds.
-
There is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain,
-
break every chain. We sing it all the time.
-
It's timely, applied every day, whatever situation, very quickly
-
on the computer. I stick Jesus over this
-
computer. You speak the name.
-
OK, So when you start walking every day, applying this with
-
this kind of authority and you stop living some it and afraid
-
and you walk like you know your value, who you are.
-
You walk around knowing that you're a child of almighty God.
-
You're not laser, you're not disadvantaged, you're not bad
-
forgotten. You are the heading of the child
-
you are. You walk with the name knowing
-
that God's name is on you. Listen, things are going to
-
change in your life. Blessing flows, blessings are
-
going to be following you, OK? Things are going to shift, OK,
-
Favor is going to show up in your life.
-
These doors is just going to open up.
-
Favor start showing up. And so because that name that is
-
on you, Favor endorses you. And so one of the ways that we
-
can describe Favor is endorsement.
-
So if you endorse something, what do you do?
-
You put your name on it. If you endorse a product or
-
something or something like sponsorship and they endorse
-
something, OK, you put your name, you're giving it to your
-
back in, right? You put some weight on it, you
-
give it credibility. So that's when we talk about
-
endorsement, OK? And so we see this all the time
-
in everyday lives. They say you have a chef, let's
-
say like an influential chef or shall we?
-
Gordon Ramsay or somebody, OK, Somebody that's got a name,
-
influence, right? Well known famous celebrity
-
chef. Tell me another somebody.
-
If that person recommends a restaurant, OK, He says.
-
I'm endorsing that restaurant. What happens?
-
The whole place is back. It's fully booked.
-
You've got a long queue outside. OK, you know what I'm talking
-
about when you when celebrities somebody endorses somebody
-
famous and goes like, for instance, let's say take a a
-
trusted Dr. and that trusted Dr. while nine Bureau says this, if
-
this treatment really works, you see patients, people are like,
-
oh, well, we can't believe, OK, because there's treatment for
-
this. OK, why?
-
Because a person with influence have endorsed it.
-
And we are talking about God's endorsement, God's favor on your
-
life. When God endorses you, my God,
-
you hear what I'm saying? Church, when nobody cannot
-
endorses you. God is more than a celebrity
-
chef. My God, when Almighty card puts
-
his his name on you and he endorses you, Oh, you're my
-
friend. No, no, you cannot be this.
-
Let me give you another example, small company.
-
Now let's say this business is still small, just trying to
-
survive, trying to draw and all that.
-
And somebody, a famous entrepreneur, a business
-
entrepreneur, let's take Elon Musk all over that.
-
Just do something small, just something like retweet this or
-
post and mention this company. Oh, you're doing it with your
-
interesting. Keep going.
-
What happens? OK, Elon Musk what mentioned one
-
post just put one post one retweet about that company
-
overnight that business boom boom suddenly that was this
-
close like never before. Why?
-
Because a person with influence and entrepreneur successful
-
business person has endorsed that company.
-
OK, now I want you to get this because this is when God's
-
endorsing you because if listen, if a human with influence can
-
make that happen, push momentum and shift it like that.
-
Can you imagine what happens when the creator of the universe
-
puts his failure on you and puts his name on you and God Almighty
-
comes and he endorses and he puts his signature on your life?
-
That's more than Elon Musk. That's more than a celebrity
-
chief. That's more than a trusted Dr.
-
That's an almighty God that says I'm endorsing this one.
-
I'm putting my name on this one. That's not something small,
-
that's not just a nice moment. That's haven's favour on your
-
life. That people cannot explain it.
-
They're like, look at you. They're like, how did you get
-
it? I've seen it over and over.
-
When I applied for posts in Pistol, they asked me how did
-
you get the job? I'm not, I don't even have the
-
qualification for that job. My salary twice higher, double
-
increase. How did you get that job?
-
God's favour, not my qualification.
-
You're like, you're working at one of the best place to press
-
and I'm like, well, that was God that picked me.
-
I didn't even answer all the questions right when they asked
-
me the interview. No, I played and they're like,
-
no, there's and you've heard the story because my boss applied
-
for the same job and she was supposed to get the job 13 years
-
old. I, I got it got promoted because
-
of his favor, not because of anything good I've done.
-
And so listen, this is the Father of God because God is
-
saying that when my name is on you relaxed and my name is on
-
you, relax. You don't have to go running
-
around looking for blessing, chasing for blessing, for things
-
to try and make things. You don't have to chase around.
-
When I put my God says, when I put my name on you, you don't
-
have to go looking for placing. Placing is going to come looking
-
for you. It's going to start chasing you.
-
Oh my God, it's going to come running to you.
-
You're going to get the phone calls, you're going to get the
-
choice. You're going to get the
-
promotion. You are not going to have to run
-
and look for it. It's going to come looking for
-
you. You're going to be like a
-
magnetic tracking in because God says my name is on you.
-
Yeah, you are my favorite. You're my blue boy.
-
You're the one. I picked you up twice on you.
-
And there's nothing the devil can do about it.
-
Nothing. When God says there's no one can
-
say no. I've opened that door for you.
-
It's yours. It's got your neighbor.
-
You go for it. It's yours.
-
There's nothing the devil can do about it.
-
It's yours. Y'all said it.
-
So yeah, maybe you feel like you aren't just in the beginning
-
stage. Maybe you feel like you're at a
-
disadvantage, overlooked, or you feel like you're just grounding
-
and waiting and your dream looks small and you're just stuck in
-
this situation. Listen, I want to tell you, all
-
it takes is the blessing of God's name.
-
All it takes is God's endorsement.
-
Whatever situation you feel stuck, difficult.
-
All it takes is one touch of favour, one open door, one
-
conversation, one phone call, one connection.
-
You may feel stuck, you may feel I've been going around this
-
mountain. It takes one phone call, one
-
e-mail, one connection from the right person in Windsor, one
-
person, and that whole door opens up, not because of your
-
resources, your connections, because of anything good you've
-
done. Because God spoke something
-
behind. God spoke something in a room.
-
And I've seen that many times when one person has been open
-
look for a long time and God calls one manager in the one
-
company to speak a good word of that person.
-
And that person got promoted like that to talk open like
-
that. Yeah, one connection, one fun
-
call, one opportunity, and suddenly you're standing in a
-
place utility. But that existed.
-
My God, how did I get you? That's favour.
-
That's God's endorsement. It's not based on our
-
perfection. It's based on his promise, on
-
his name, his covenant. OK, so God endorses and people
-
will look at you like, Oh my goodness.
-
And you can just swap because you're like, how did you get
-
there? How did you overcome that?
-
OK, how did you get through that?
-
And you just smile and say, well, it's not me.
-
He's gone. If you can just testify, this
-
can only be God. I'm a different person to that
-
because of God. OK, Somebody say favor.
-
He's endorsing me. Yeah, that's been my story.
-
When we started this church years ago, it wasn't because of
-
my perfection. It wasn't because of my
-
qualification, my resources, my connections.
-
I watched God do it. I watched God lining up.
-
I was God opening up the doors 1 by 1.
-
Opening the doors. Yeah, it wasn't.
-
It was God. And so that's what God does.
-
God endorses these children. Wow.
-
And so you, if you're in Christ, you've got God's name on you.
-
Somebody say God's name is on me.
-
Yeah. So that again, his name is on
-
me. OK, now let's bring this to a
-
close. Because we are blessed to be a
-
blessing. So a blessing is for purpose.
-
OK. And so you don't have just have
-
the blessing, but we carry the blessing, OK, So it's for
-
impact, right? It's to make it useful.
-
OK, blessing. We just sit on the couch
-
somewhere. No, we got to be useful.
-
We got to do still with it. OK, so can you handle the
-
blessing, right? We still with the blessing for
-
purpose. So when God endorses you, it's
-
not just for a good feeling, not just blessing you, but he's
-
there. He's sending you out on an
-
assignment. OK, so there's purpose in the
-
blessing behind it. The fiber that God gives you to
-
carry the the blessing of God's name in your everyday life.
-
So you carry God's name. So we apply, we put the God's
-
name on every day, wherever workplace situation, you take
-
the name of God, you carry it into a conversation where
-
somebody feels hopeless, you carry his name.
-
The blessing of God's name in everyday situations
-
conversations. OK, so I carry his name and when
-
we carry his name, we blessed. OK, say that with me.
-
I carry his name, so I carry his blessing.
-
So again, I carry his name, so I carry his blessing.
-
Now let's bring this to a close, because I remember watching Joan
-
of Arc. Here's a young woman stepping in
-
for battle. And so no big army, no famous
-
lost surname. OK, no muscle, no status, but
-
yes, she is. But she's got something inside,
-
something that she carries that changes everything.
-
She knows that she has been sent, OK?
-
And so listen, when Heaven sends you, you become unstoppable.
-
When Heaven sends you on a mission, when Heaven endorses
-
you whenever puts his name on you become unstoppable.
-
No devil. And how can stop you?
-
You become unstoppable because you've got the full force and
-
authority of Heaven behind you. OK, Now, I want you to picture
-
this because, yeah, it's the enemy's fortress told to
-
intimidate. Hard walls, gates closed,
-
weapons ready. Enemy laughing, mocking.
-
Who do you think you are? I think you're too small.
-
Ah, you're weak. Hey, you stand no chance.
-
Who do you think you are but the messenger?
-
She raised it to the banner and she declares.
-
I don't come in my own name. I might look small in time.
-
I don't come in the old name. I come in the name of the king
-
who said I don't come in my lane, man.
-
I come in the lane of the one who sent me.
-
The higher king, the greater king, OK.
-
And so I want you to get this because when she declared that
-
something shifts in the atmosphere, something changes,
-
OK? Because the power was not in the
-
messenger. The power is in the king that's
-
behind the messenger this morning that the living man is
-
who's behind, who has sent you? Have you been sent by?
-
But we want to know what authority, what power, what name
-
you come. Because when you come in the
-
King's name and you've been sent from the Most High God, you
-
don't come alone. You come with authority because
-
you've been sent from the Most High God.
-
You come with backing. You come with the full weight of
-
that Kingdom backing you behind you.
-
You don't come and you come without authority.
-
You come with that power. Now, just I'm talking about you
-
because you don't face that problem on your own.
-
You don't face that medical diagnosis on your own.
-
You don't face that trouble on your own.
-
You come with this authority, OK, so whatever.
-
Maybe you, you don't fight your family in your name.
-
You don't walk into that boardroom meeting in your room
-
on your own. You don't walk into that office
-
on your own. You don't walk into that
-
workplace thing on your own, into that quadroon.
-
You don't walk on your own. You walk in the name of God.
-
You walk with God's name into your family, into your marriage,
-
your finances, your workplace, wherever you go shopping, say
-
wherever you walk, with God's name, with God's power, with
-
God's authority. That's what I want you to get
-
and what I want you to understand.
-
It's not in your name, Peter the night, it's not in our.
-
It's in his name that that person is here.
-
It's in God's name. And I want you to grab all that.
-
You don't come in your own. You come, OK, in God's name,
-
which is the highest. Jesus, the Bible says is the
-
highest name. Holden Reynolda may see anybody.
-
It is the highest. So when you come with that
-
authority, with that power, every devil, ah, every difficult
-
situation of every trouble, every sickness has to bow.
-
Let me read that to you. It says in Philippians 2 verse
-
9, it says God has highly exalted it.
-
And they start on him the name which is above every name.
-
So that at the name of Jesus every come on somebody say every
-
knee shall power in submission to those who are in heaven and
-
on earth and under the earth and that every tongue will conface
-
and openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord soft
-
different God to the glory of God the Father.
-
That is why Peter could stand at the gate and say in Jesus name
-
walk. That's why change prank when you
-
speak the name. That's why healing flows when
-
you speak the name. That's why cancer has the power.
-
When you lift up the name of Jesus, every name is every name
-
is, every trauma, every sickness, every disease, every
-
situation, every challenge. It must come under the authority
-
of God. And you speak that man.
-
You're not just speaking a slogan or a full stop after the
-
prayer. You're not just speaking nice
-
words. You are speaking a name that
-
carries heaven's authority. Heaven's power, Heaven's
-
authority you carry. It's all wrapped up.
-
Everything. Heaven is wrapped up in that
-
name of Jesus. So you are not on your own.
-
You are carrying His name everywhere you go.
-
You are walking with the blessing of God's name.
-
Hallelujah. Glory to God.
-
I feel the power of God. I speak the name of Jesus over
-
you with the authority of heaven.
-
I am St. by Almighty God, by heaven, and I speak the name of
-
every situation, every heart, every mind, every family over
-
this question, every situation. There is a ship happening in
-
your life right now. I speak to sicknesses being
-
healed in the name of Jesus. I speak to depression.
-
I say leave every oppression, every anxiety, every feeling.
-
I speak the name of Jesus. For you to multiply, to
-
increase, to walk in the fullness of God has fortune.
-
I am walking and I'm speaking the name of Jesus.
-
I state Florence, I said multiply, say be healed in the
-
name of Jesus marriage, just be healed marriage just be my
-
whole. I speak life.
-
I speak the name of Jesus Now I want you to stand up right now,
-
raise your hands to even and start speak Jesus, speak Jesus.
-
Jesus. Lord, we speak Jesus right now.
-
I want you to get ready to receive this if this is your
-
word today, if something is saying yes pastor, I'm ready.
-
I'm ready for walk in this. I am tired of living small.
-
I am tired of living limited and with the fear and depression.
-
