Positioned for portion | Balaji

You're listening to a message to go from ax Church.

We hope this message will light.

Up your tea. So, so this guy, Joseph is very

very interesting character. Joseph's father is. For those who do

not know the story, joseph father is called as Abraham

ah No, Okay, joseph father is called us Jacob. Jacob

is is a deceater. He is a deceiver. He cheats,

He cheats his father, he cheats his brother, he cheats

his father in law. Everyone he cheats. Cheating is a

part of his his character. So Joseph Jordy Jacob has

twelve sons and his last son is called us Benjamin. Okay.

So Joseph is very very very favored by God. Right

from the beginning, God has has has called Joseph. So

every person God has called God will put a dream

in them. God has a dream about them, and that

dream is a threat to the enemy because Jeremias is

in in one nine. I have a I mean I

have marked you before your mother's woom. You're coming out

of the mother's room. So if you notice anyone who

has a very powerful calling like Moses, it will be

tried to kill the person. So that the dream will

not come into play. The plan of God has been particular.

And even those who have been having a call in

your life, you have a call in your life. God

has a plan for your life. Trust me. The enemy

will hurt your emotion to the deepest so that you

will sink on your own self rather than and fly

with God's grace and a ninety So Joseph has been marked.

He is as marked as a dreamer is marked. The

only problem with him is he shoots his mouth like me.

He shot his mouth. He goes and tells his brother,

you know I had a dream. One dream. They get

angry to dream, they get angry. So we will see

in Genesis thirty seven the dreamer is marked. So he

goes and tells all of you will bow down. Oh,

they get so upset, and they will throw him in

the in them. So when there is a chosen one,

there is a dream given in Genesis thirty eight. Amazing

Genesis thirty seven to Genesis forty five, you will run

through the story of Joseph. But then there comes a

sudden break in between Genesis chapter thirty eight where is

something unfatomo happens, where Judah the son of Jacob, called

to be a blessing, will fall in a relationship with Thummer,

which should not have happened. If you're interested, go back

and read. So this is a This seems to be

like a break. Thirty seven talks about Joseph thirty nine,

forty forty one, forty two, forty three, forty four, forty five.

Suddenly there is a chapter of Judah where this guy

was falling into a sin that we don't want to

talk about. But God is very, very good, and Bible

has been one hundred percent honors. Bible never covers. Since

Bible never covers, since Bible redeems sin, Jesus blood redeems sin.

As much as I hide my sin, I give chance

for the enemy to brew in it, and that becomes

the way that the enemy can talk about it. The

confess sin leads to a redeemer's redeemed believer from sinner,

you become a believer. So what happens in Genesis thirty

eight is a Joseph. I mean, Judah becomes mature and

his character is tested. He accepts an interesting Genesis thirty

nine and forty You know I told you in Genesis

thirty seven Joseph, the dreamer was taken and he was

put in the pit, and some of us will feel

like a pit. Oh God, I have a dream. But

why am I in a pit? Why is my own

brothers and sisters are talking about me? Why is it

my colleagues are talking behind my back? Why is my

family drowning me with their negative thoughts? Why is it

I am not able to have? You have a lot

of dream. You have given me education, you have given

me talent, you have given me attitude. Sometimes you feel God,

none of them are working. You know what? God is

preparing us character before he positions us. So in Genesis

chapter thirty nine, Joseph because his brother sold him out. Hey,

remember anyone may sell you out your church, brothers may

also church is not perfect, far from perfect, But we

are going towards perfection. What else is a better place?

So Joseph is put in a prison, in a pit,

and then he has been sold out. And after he

was sold out, he sent to Egypt, and there somebody

will put a blame on him, and then he is

again in a prison. Genesis chapter thirty nine is interesting.

Genesis thirty nine and forty Joseph was in a jail.

But again and again in Genesis thirty nine and forty

you will see God was with him. God was with him.

Let me tell you, let me let me speak the

word of God in you. No matter what your situation

you're going through. You may be not well emotionally. You

may have been drained. You may be in the last

bit of your strength. You may wanted to quit what

you wanted to do. Your dream may be shattered. Help

may have failed, loud ones would have been in a trouble. Everything,

your bank balance is next to zero. Everything may have gone.

But let me tell you, in this time morning, you

are here to hear this particular word. God is with you.

God is with you. God was in prison. Don't expect

the situation that you are in. God is not there. No,

God is with you. So in Genesis chapter thirty nine

and forty you will see Joseph being faithful in small

small thing. He will be in jail. But then somebody

shares the dream, and he will share the dream. You

know what, when God has given you a big dream

where people will fall at your feet, God will not

make you to stand as a prime minister on day one.

God will see you in the small faithfulness. Are you

faithful in cleaning up some dusting in the church? Are

you being faithful in attending? Are you being faithful in submission?

It's a heart posture. It's a heart posture. So Joseph

was so faithful and he interpreted dream to two people.

And these two people will say I will remember you.

One is dead already. One person will say I will

remember you. And then he goes and he forgets. You know,

people forget what you have done because it's not your time.

It's it's not your time. It's beat yourself. Oh, I

have done so much for them, they forgot me. Trust me.

Their time will come and you will read in Book

of Esther the King will not be able to sleep

because he needed to remember. Your time of remembrance will

come at the right time. God has never been one

minute forward one minute backward, but he will be on time.

So what happens is this guy goes and he forgets

about Joseph, and he becomes the king's cup baron. You

might want you to understand something. Anyone whom we have

come in encounter, in your class, in your bus, in

your wherever you are, small small chit chat will be

something that God positions you. God positions always always comes

from relationship. It's very important to understand that relationship matters.

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.

They are one, but there is a relationship that happens.

It is that relationship that positions people. God cannot come

directly and make Past Jack to be so, and so

God will use some people somewhere to speak about Pastor

Jack to position Past Jack in that position because God

has given the earth to the men, and that relationship

plays a major role. If you remember, relationship is what

redeems you and me. And the relationship is not only

a heart okay, I like Pastor Jack. No, it has

to be confessed, it has to be spoken, it has

to be displayed. You remember what Bible says about it

is not important that you believe in Christ alone in

your heart, but you need to confess with your mouth.

It's so important. You cannot say I believe I am healed. No, no,

you must confess that you are healed. You cannot say

I am okay with God. No, you are to say God,

you are my righteousness. So it's very important. And in

Genesis chapter thirty nine and Chatter thirty nine and fourteen.

It's the gift is managed. You know what, if your

gift calling, you feel it is not being used or

utilized and you do not have that opportunity of a

bigger are in a bigger stage. If you're not, you're

feeling that I'm not in a proper place. You know what,

You are in a proper place because your dream is

being managed. You are being managed. Your heart is being managed,

your place is being managed. You cannot marry someone if

you are not managed, because you will hurt yourself, you

will hurt the husband, and you will hurt the family. Also,

managing you becomes more important. I was asking God one

time and say God, thank you so much for doing

so much of things. And we are talking about sin

and sin. I was saying, God, I'm so sorry I

have sin. God spoke to my heart and say it

sin needs only blood that he has already shed. But

it is the character that makes him to be very difficult.

God cannot come and change Andrew's characters suddenly overnight. It's

a fruit that has to be built. It is a

fruit that have to grow. The gifts are given, fruits

are not Fruits have to grow and the fruits will

go only when you're rooted and grounded in one place.

It's very very important for us to be rooted and

grounded in a church. It is very important to be

rooted and grounded under some discipler. Because a tree that

has been transplanted cannot bring don't worry, I'm feeling cold.

That's why. So a tree that has been transplanted suddenly

here and there one day, this place, one day, that place,

one day, this place cannot bring food the fruit. So

Genesis thirty nine and forty plays a role where his gift.

You know, you are here in this place, in this time.

You are heading to the voice because God wants to

hear you, to hear that your gift is being managed.

It has not been forgotten, it has not been thrown away.

You are a gift to God, and God wants to

use that gift, which is you. By positioning your heart

first before positioning you as someone else makes sense to you, right,

So Genesis thirty nine and forty will talk about that

about so serving in obscurity is very very important. You

may be serving in a small place, but God looks

at this and then Genesis chapter forty one will be

talking about the mandated and the promotion that comes, meaning

to say one day that the king will have a dream.

The king says, I have a dream. I don't know

anyone to have this week. Maybe the year to come

will be a place where someone will want the gift

that you have. You know what I mean. The Pharaoh

had a dream and there the sorceress cannot interpret, the

magicians cannot interpret, and then the combarer remembers, oh, I

have a person who can interpret. May God bless you

so much that this year that the gifts and talents

and attitudes and the resources that you need is wanted

by someone high up. There will be a prime minister

who wants the gift only that you have. There will

be some placement and position. Make God bless you that

in this year and this season that we are praying

about revival, that God will revive your heart first, and

then He will use you as a revivalist in high places.

It's God's intention. It's very interesting that I was praying

and I was seeking God for the last couple of weeks.

If you remember what what what what? When? When God

has took the Israelites away from it, from Egypt and

they were going to the Promised Land. There was a

trouble in the Promised Land. Do you remember what the

it relates? I said, Oh, I wish we have been

in in Egypt. We eat what onions we eat one

gardly can leaks, I told my daughter's leeches. So my

daughter corrected me. So garlic and onion and leeks. But

God wants them to have milk and honey. You know, gardles,

onion leaks all grow under the ground. And that's talking

about the flesh, and you need it to bend down

and take among yourself. But God wants you to take

from the milk and honey that you did not prepare,

you did not produce. It's God who is going to produce.

God wants you to enjoy what He has done. And

maybe sometimes God will speak to you. I mean your

enemy will speak. Oh you should have studied heart past.

You should not come to church next week. No, God

wants you to enjoy what he wants, the way he wants,

the timing he wants. Instead of looking at the garlics

and the leagus and the onions, let's look at the

promised honey and the milk. The honeybee doesn't know he

is preparing for me. The river doesn't know that he's

flowing towards me. So it is so very important that

you needed to be in a place. Hey, remember if

Joseph has been released immediately after the Cambarot has gone,

probably Joseph would have disappeared among one of the nations,

and maybe the king could not have found him the

time he needed. You are in a place of restrain,

your place of prison. You feel you are not being used.

You are in a very small place because God is

preparing your heart. He does not want you to let

go from here in this place, because the time for

you to step out is waiting. You know, like the

child to be given at the right time is a blessing.

A child that is born out of time can be

difficult to manage. God positions are hard, and so in

Genesis chapter forty one you will see you will see

that Joseph is being raised. And forty two comes a

place where they will be mating again. They will be

a famine, and Jacob has to send his ten sons.

He withholds Benjamin. He behold Benjamin because he loves Benjamin

so much. And these eleven brothers are ten brothers are

coming to Iji. Hey, I just wanted I wanted you

to think, like, what would be the thoughts of the

ten men? The ten men are coming, Benjamin is not there.

Probably I was thinking, ah clean, my father loves Benjamin.

Why did he send us than him? Could be or

it could be it's okay, we are responsible. I think

when these ten people are coming to meet the Egyptians,

I think they would have been feeling bad. Maybe they

will be feeling in their heart that this famine is

because they have put Joseph away. They may be having

a lot of emotional dramas in their mind. They may

feel Jake would have felt, oh my god, I lost

one son. Now am I going to lose the ten sons?

Maybe Benjamin is telling you I waste of time. My

ten brothers are going. I am being held by my father.

Maybe he is reasonful, you understand. So there is a

conviction that has been happening in the next we will

see that in forty three. This is where we are

going to. This is why we are going to spend

some time today in Genesis chapter forty three, moved in order.

We are going to see a little bit more later.

And you will see in Genesis chapter forty four, Judah

will be ready. Judah will be ready to offer himself,

and he will be ready, and then we will be

seeing that revival happens. Joseph will reveal himself. You know,

the brothers will come and the brothers will be put

in test. So I'm going to talk a little bit

on forty three, so I'm skipping to forty four and

forty five. After that, Dah, Joseph will reveal, Hey, you

know what I am your brother. I am now forgiving you.

Now I know that you do not want it to

hurt me. And there is a revival that happens. How

pleasant when the brothers dwell together in unity. You know,

I told you relationship is so very important for God.

If we have a fractured relationship, God cannot heal us,

God cannot put us in a place where He wants

you and to be. It is so very important for

us to have to move. And very interestingly you will

see in the next line I just put something. If

you guys wanted to take a picture, you wanted to

read later, you can go again. So there will be

a chosen dream given. Then character is tested. This is

what I was talking about, and I'm going to spend

a bit of time in Genesis chapter forty three. Now

remember now in forty two. In forty two, we read

it in Genesis chapter forty two Joseph, when Joseph is

a prime minister, but he's hidden. The brothers do not

know this is Joseph. And then ten people is coming,

and Joseph wanted to check if these people are ready

to take the blessing. You know, you need to be

prepared to be blessed. You need to be prepared to

be blessed. Imagine if I'm going to give something that

has not been prepared for, it can hurt you. I

will not give a knife to Kali. She needed to

be prepared. And you may want the shiny one, you

may want the glittering knife, but never, never, never, will

be preparing. God will not give you something just because

you ask, because you're not yet prepared for it, And

only when you're prepared he might want it. To give

you that preparation time, that waiting time may be difficult,

but that is where your pressure comes in. It's I

call that as a holy pressure. I call that as

a holy push. Yeah, God puts you in pressure, so

that when you know what happens when you are in pressure,

the pressure cookle comes out. And when you are under pressure,

what you say, what you speak, what you think, reveals

your real you. And when you are completely broken, he

is completely made. Is it? Is it? Okay? So in

Genesis chapter forty two, Joseph will give a bit. Okay,

now you take back, But I'm holding one person, Simeon

as a as a representative. He is in jail. So

when these ten brothers go back, Jacob being Jacob, he

doesn't want to send Benjamin. I think three or four

years Simeon was in a jail, and they eat and

they will become completed. You know. Sometimes it happens in

the river of Brooks, the water drice. Elijah has to

go to someplace. That transition period is very, very challenging.

When the famine hits and everything that you have had disappeared.

Where do you look at? Where do you look at?

You may cut on the expenses, you may cut Maybe

Jacob want instead of three meals we go for two meals? Maybe?

Or is he going to wait on God? I'm very

very sure. Jacob being a prophet, Jacob being a patriarchal best.

Jacob being a man of God, I'm sure. I'm sure

he would have prayed, God, let the famine break, Let

the famine break, but the famine break. Trust me, God

did not allow that famine to be broken because Jacob

has to be broken. God has to God did not

allow the famine to be broken because the ten brothers

have to be broken from being a seller to redeemer.

God may not able to break your femine because you

should be ready to be a discipler, to take somebody

under your wing in your brokenness. When I take somebody

under the wing, that's where your breakthrough comes in. Every

breakup is a setup for your breakthrough. If you're not

ready for a breakup breaking you up, you cannot be

ready for your breakthrough. The area that you have been

breaking up, your area where you have been completely broken.

That is where God is setting you up for a breakthrough.

Prepare this right where you are broken. I'm sure many

of us are broken. Many of us are broken in

a area of our health, maybe in the finances in

a relationship. Any of us may be broken in the

area of our emotion. God wants you to be our

God is allowing you to go through to break ups

because he wants you to look up and say, God,

you are my breakthrough. He's the one who breaks through.

So famine that you are going through is a holy pressure,

is what I speak. So if you can go to

the next line. So now the famine was severe in

the land, so it came Now the famine was severe

in the land. So it came about when they had

finished eating the grain. Is it your last ringate that

you're spending. Is it the last hope that you have

had on the person? Is it the last faith that

has been Are you in the in the end of

your what do you call that? End of your line

or end of your card? You're going God, one more step,

I will break down. God is there with you, and

we finished eating the grain bridge He will tell them

go back by us, Eh, little you know, when you

are in famine, when we are not in a place

where God wants us to be, we will talk about

a little. But you will read in the end of

this chapter they don't have little. They have the whole nation.

I mean this season that you have been going through,

where you are asking for a little bit, a little

bit of mark, a little bit of money, a little

bit of break to know this season shall bring you

something bigger that your eyes have not seen. Your ears

have not heard, your heart man has not perceived for

what God has prepared for those you are Famine is

a holy pressure. Let's check our heart when we are

in our holy pressure. May this season you fear become

the season that favors makes sense. You don't want to

go through this pain, right, You don't want to go

through this situation. God, I don't want to go through

this famine. My relationship is broken, my finances are broken,

my health is broken, my situation is broken. May I

tell you that God is with you. The season that

you fear will become a season that favors. Right. What

you look as a lack is a Heaven's preparation for

you to keep going there. Your lack that you feel

on your own life is Heavens preparing you. Are you

okay with me? So what happens is He will ask

his children to go and famine forces disciples to move

from comfort to calling. You can't be comfortable in the

place you want you. God wants you to move from

a place of comfort to calling, and that calling can

be made by the pressures that you're going through as

long as it is holy pressure. Right. So the most

important thing that we will be seeing is I have

not put in this slide, but I wanted to say

that there is a lot of pressure. Every character in

the Bible at this point of time is under tremendous pressure.

Maybe Jacob was fear of losing unknown past pace. So

you know what Jacob may be fearing. Some of us

may be fearing of losing maybe you fear of losing

a job, fear of losing friendship, maybe fear of losing

maybe of unknown. He doesn't know whether my children will

come back. Maybe it's very interesting. You will see in

this chapter something has been fl going on. Jacob will

cheat his father by cutting by killing a lamb, and

he will put on the clothe and Jacob's sons will

also cheat him by showing a dead clothes and you

will later see Joseph will also prepare a lamb. What

you have shown is what we reap. So it's so important.

The brothers may feel guilty. They may be saying, should

I take this? Joseph has a memory, Remember, like if

I were Joseph, if I were Joseph, Okay, I should

not be using that word. Okay, you guys, you put

me in prisoner. You guys sold me. I was in prison.

I was chastised. I was all this is because of you, guys.

The minute you come, the minute you lie down, you

will even not get up. I will shop you here

has the power, and God will give you a power

to check the heart. God will give you a power

to check your heart when that person who didn't help

you when you is when they are when they are

in need. You came and asked Olivia please help. I

know Olivia can help, but Olivia did not help me.

But then there comes a time where I stand and

Olivia come for help. I can take revenge. God do

not want that. God do not want that. And God

will bring you to the position of power to check

the heart. Right makes sense to you. So there's something

that God has laid in my heart. Nothing grows in

a femine except the word of God. Nothing grows in

the famine except the will of God. Only when our

will is completely submitted. That's where God has been. So

probably some of us may be going through the guilt.

Some of them has gone through fears, some of us

have to go through through hiding. May I pray and

I prophesy. I just wanted to take this chance because

as a person who has been appointed by the church,

there is grace. I pray that this season of guilt

is over and step out of the guilt. That season

of fear is gone, but the season of favor has rised.

The season of hiding is over because God wants to

position you in a place where you have let the

Heaven's portion be released as our hearts position has been

taken care of. So you will see after this what

will happen is Jacob will say, okay, you know what.

I'm releasing my son Benjamin. Now you can take the

last bit of hope. As I was preparing, I shared

this with one of my friends and few people in

us just outside while ship started. When benj when Jacob

was ready to let go of his last hope, which

is Benjamin, God had taken hold of his hope. You understand,

Jacob has this is the last hope that Pastor has,

and I have taken this last hope and absolutely nothing,

and the heaven rushes to his aid. The Heaven pushes

because there is nothing in you all of me, nothing

of pastor Jack.

Yeah.

Right, So there is nothing that grows in a famine

except the will and the word of God. Make sure

that you are feeding yourself on the word of God,

so that the famine will not break you, but the

famine will make you. Yeah. So what is most important

thing that we have to do here is Judah will

say it. Udah will step up from nine to thirteen.

Judah will tell Papa, I cannot go back to Egypt

unless you release your son. Obviously, Jacob is going to say, no,

I cannot, I cannot release my son. Jacob is obviously

going to say that. When Jacob is telling that, Judah

he is the praise. Remember in the previous chapter, he sinned,

he made a mistake, and he made a mistake with Tamar,

and Bible will recall Thomas's name in Jesus' genealogy. Your

past is God's future. Your past mistakes, it's God's future testimony.

Your past hidden will be a sin. But past proclaimed

to Jesus will God's proclamation of his greatness. That is that, Okay, right,

So your past is preparing you. Your past shall not

decide your future. Your past education do not decide your future.

Your past failures shall not decide your future. Your past

family background will not decide your fact future. Your past,

presented to God's hand will prepare you for the future glory.

It may be the worst of the worst family, like

Jacob falling into sin and Judah falling into sin. The

brothers were bad, but it is from they Jesus has

rose up, and it is from there God has raised

your glory. It's not your family that determines you. It's

God who determines you. It's not your past education that

determines you. It's a future God and glory that is

going to prepare you. You are being prepared in your

heart so that you will be positioned for your glory.

Are you okay? Yeah, just put the person next to

you and say you are being prepared. No, I could not.

I could not hear you are being prepared to shake them. Yeah,

So this part I just wanted to say, so Andrew, Andrew,

So I am, I am Judah. And now Olivia is

Jacob releasing Jude relieving releasing Andrew? And I am going

I'm very very sure Judah. Will I mean, I will

be thinking, should I really take responsibility for my son.

Should I really take responsibility for for for Andrew? What

will I tell Olivia if he's put in prison like

Benjamin Simeon? How can I face? So I'm very scared.

But remember, unless or until you are a guarantee for someone,

God cannot guarantee my future unless I take responsibility. Okay,

I'm going to pray from today. Every day, I will

pray for Andrew. Every day. I will speak to him.

I will make sure that he grows. I will make

sure when when Judah was working with Benjamin to Egypt right,

he may be hungry, but he will not allow him

to be hungry. He may be in the sun, but

he will not be allowing him to be the son.

Discipleship is taking responsibility for someone. Being a Christian is

not that only you will be going to heaven. Even

you cannot call God your father as my father. You

have to call him as our father. He cannot call

you as my father. In heaven, he will say, who

are you our father? Andrew and I together standing our father.

That's where God's glory comes. So thank you. So I

release back Olivia. I'm so probably probably Judah was walking

with Lord of Fear, with with Benjamin. What you call

as a fear, God calls as a doorway to his plan.

What you call as a fear, God calls it as

a doorway right down. What is the biggest fear that

you have? The biggest fear that you have is what

that is the doorway for you to go to the heaven?

Do you fear that this will happen? God released into you?

If you got to release to God your fear is

what the doorway for God? Revival cannot happen unless or

until I stand up for others. It is not easy

for Pastor Jack to come all the way from there

twenty seventeen years ago, for him to come here as

a student, it is not easy. But he took the

challenge to be the guarante for this place of Cyberjaya

that you and I are able to sit here. And

if I have to ask who are you guaranteeing for?

What will be your answer? Who are you guaranteing for? Oh,

my father, my mother that is given by God? Who

are you guaranteeing for? So Judah's fear has become a

doorway for him to become the Lion of Judah. To

prepare the lion of Judah so very importantly that you

will also see Judah becomes a surety in legal terms

to mingle lives. So when I am becoming, when Pastor

Jack is being a pastor of this church, trust me,

his burthen is each one of you. He may not

pray for one by one, but there is a mantle

on him that recognition. God sees him as. Yes, I

am being a part of church. Yes I've been given

a responsibility to preach. Maybe it is all correct, but

that comes as a guarantee who stood on the city

of cyber Jaya. So it's a surety whose life can

you guarantee by pledging to put your feature in stake

for others? It's so very important that I am being

a guaranteer for the university that I work with, I

am being a guaranteer for the place that you are

working with, the area that you are living in. Are

we taking this responsibility very seriously? So very important? And

now Judah goes back and the Judah there is I mean,

I have put as too to two journey principles. Something

that you know. The first time Judah and the rest

of the brothers came in, they came as a gang.

They came for provision. They came what they wanted. But

the next time they came Judah led. Judah was a guaranter.

Judah wants to redeem his brother. You know, God has

always have had a second chance for those of us

who have been broken. It is a season and time

for your second chance. Revive it, leave it into the

hands of God. There is a two principles. The first

time they come because of conviction. The first time they

come because of their need. But the second time they

come because they want to be a guarante. They want

to be a redeemer. They wanted to bring back Simian.

They wanted to They have made sure in their mind. I,

no matter what, I will not go let go of Benjamin.

Your first journey may not have healed you, but it

had showed. But may I tell you that the second

journey that you are taking shall bring healing. Your first

journey reveals your heart brokenness. Your second journey brings the healing.

What is the first journey that you cannot heal? Make

God bless you that it will be healed. And this

pattern of second chance is never new. You will see

Adam was given a second chance Jacob was given, Isaac

was given throughout even the If you see the people

of Israelites, they did not go into the Promised Land

the first time they have to go after Joshua came in.

They would not go from Moses. So the most important

thing that you needed to understand is you needed to

understand that this is a second chance. And even as

we are preparing our heart for the next year, even

as we be preparing for the revival, May God bless

your second chance, that you will be positioned to prosper

You will be positioned for a blessing. You will be

positioned for the portion that God has prepared you made

this season. That you have been positioned so that you

will carry the grace of God with humility, with honor,

so that you will not be a only blessing, but

you will be a blessing to the next generation. Makes sense,

you will be blessed. God is not happy that only

you are blessed. That you will be a blessing, which

what Abrahamic Covenant is all about. Even Jesus said, yeah,

you are my disciple, you are my appostal, but go

He preached the Gospel to all the nations, making disciples

in the name of the Father, the Son, and of

the Holy Spirit, making disciple. Healing relationship, being a guarante.

To position yourself as a guaranter for someone is the

Heaven's way of preparing you for the prosperity is the

Heaven's way of preparing you and positioning you to go

where you are because without breaking, if God gives you,

it's almost giving a knife to baby, it will hurt you.

Is that? Is that? Okay? Am i am i am

I speaking to you and very very interesting, what what next?

What happens? Is? What happens is very interestingly. Jacob will

tell you're going to meet your Sorry, you're going to

meet the man. But you know what, last time he

gave you some money, he put that money back, right,

don't act, so take a double portion of money. Is

that right? He will ask take the double portion of

money like like like it's almost like it's almost like

Alan has come to me and I have given him.

He has to pay me tenduring it and then he

has taken but he goes back and he opens the

bag that tendering it is also there, that money, the

food is also there. But Alan is so good he

didn't come immediately to give. He eats it. After eating,

when he gets hungry, he comes back with double the money.

Principle that we needed to understand is honor, Honoring the

man of God. Honoring the house of God is a

way where God sees whether you're prepared or not. See.

Pastor Jack may not have been, may not be as

handsome as I am. So yeah, Passa Jack may not

have the education that I have. Pastor Jack may not

have the no no I am I am meaning so

Pastor Jack may not be an associate professor it. Paster

Jack may not be something. I have three daughters. You

don't only have one daughter. It's okay, past So it

is not what I see. But the minute I am

able to see, oh my God, Pastor Jack has got

you know how God sees. Heaven sees Pastor Jack as

a man of honor, because these one hundred and twenty

souls somewhere dotted connected to Pasta Jack. The minute I

don't respect Pasta Jack, the minute I don't honor past

the Jack, the minute I don't see the way the

Heaven sees as Pastor Jack, that means I am not

honoring and God cannot honor my prayer. A husband has

to be honored by the wife. The husband may be bad, wicked,

that's okay. A parent have to be honored by the children.

Bible says, honor your father and mother, that all may

go well with you in the land that you're going,

because honoring is the principle with which God wants you

to be there. Honor unlocks the grace because in the

eyes it agrees with God sees as a person Heaven

sees man of God, of Pastor Jack. But I say, ah, yeah,

Pastor Jack. So I am not in line with with

the heaven. Remember I told you every blessing in this generation,

every blessing in this in this in this in this

earth is not God is not going to open up

the heaven and drop you one million ring it on

your pocket. God has to speak to somebody. He will

appoint you, and he will pay pasta Jack through that man.

It's honor that unlocks the mercy. It is honored that

gives you grace. It's honored that prepares you. The more

I honor the man of God, God knows that I

am ready to be prepared for the greater glory. The

minute the word of God is going through and you

are scanning through your phone. You're not honoring the word

of God. That means your word cannot speak to you.

Because Bible says the word shall not go empty. It

prepares what produces what God has prepared. And I am

not in a position to honor the word. Irrespect you

of the stupid donkey that has been speaking here. Irrespect

you of the lion that has been there. But the

Word of God has been preached, and the Man of God,

the Woman of God has been ordained by the Church.

There is a grace and the word shall produce fruit.

It shall not go empty. Honoring is a principle that

you needed to understand. I needed to understand. When the

honor is not given, glory shall not be revealed. The

more I honor Pastor Jack and his family, the more

glory of God shall be revealed through him in my life,

and I will become a better person in my workplace.

Makes sense to you, Remember I told you relationship is very,

very important in the House of God. Relationship God. You know,

favor is true man for man for God's glory. Right, See,

it cannot drop from the heaven. Even you usually find

your girlfriend, boyfriend, or husband and wife through somebody. You

didn't see them dying in my dream I saw and

the next day you go and say I love you,

she will slap you. There has to be somebody who

is connecting you. Is that right comes through man so

that the glory of God shall be revealed to you.

You are in this place because somebody has favored you.

And I have a friend. I mean I have a friend.

I made a mistake. I was upset about something. One

time he called me. I said, I don't want to

pick up your call for five six days, and then

I messaged I didn't honor this man. God has used

him to bring from Sabah. I didn't honor this man

has done so much of thing. This man has given

his car for the first couple of weeks for me

to use. I didn't honor him because I was upset.

He was upset, and I didn't honor him the way

that I have to treat him. And trust me, it

has costed a lot, and I couldn't honor unlocks the

favor that has to be there. If you have not

honored your parents, forget about being blessed in the land

that you're going through. If you have not honored your husband,

forget about it. Because God says you are not under

the mantle. How could I bless you because you can

hurt your family God. If you are not honored the

pastoral carest forget about the blessing, the preaching that you have,

the gifting, the prophecy. Nothing will make a role unless

ard until you honor my leader. He is a stupid leader.

He is a stupid manager. But God has placed him.

Honor him so that God will show favor. It's God

who has placed him. That leader may not be. I

have to pray for the prime minister of this nation.

I have to pray whether I like him politically or not,

because honor unlocks the blessings that God sees. Honor sees

the man as the Heaven sees. Honor has to go

where you needed to receive the blessing. Pastor Kenneth is

the founding member, founding pastor of this church. The honor

I have to give him, even though he is a

friendly here, though he may be treated as a friend,

the honor and the respect that I show him in

his heart, in my heart determines how honor I will

be in my workplace? Is that? Okay? I honor the

more I honor pastor in my heart. I may not

show him, I not text him, but he knows and

I know. The more I am willing to honor the man,

the more I'm honoring God, the more God will honor

my gifting and calling. I wanted you to think back

and say, is there any man? Is there any woman?

Is there any person that you have dishonored that you're

not able to be in your blessing? Is that? Is that? Okay? Right?

So Judah is going with double the money. Judah is

going with double the money. Hey, it is the second journey.

It is the double the portion. God is a god

of chance. God is a god of double potion. You know, like,

you don't need because I teach in the university, You

don't need it to go from C to B minus. No, No,

it doesn't. When God favors you, go from C to

A plus. Because you honored Ma, You honor the time

that you spend here, and God will honor you. Maybe

he will blind the blind the lecturer who corrects and

instead of ninety he puts ninety. God does that. God

as fan because you honor God. God honors you. It's

God who honors. Promotion cometh neither from the east or

from the west. Promotion cometh from the Lord. And one

day our friend Joseph was in the jail, and the

next day somebody shaved him put on a clean clothes.

And then he is becoming the prime minister. And so

when the brothers come, right, when the brothers come, Joseph

saw his brother Benjamin was there. Benjamin was there, and

Joseph didn't meet them. Joseph asked them go back to

the house, and he told his servants prepare them the table.

He prepares the table before me in the presence of

my enemies. He prepares the table, and he makes the

Ruben to sit in the first and then he goes

all the way and where Lisa is, Benjamin is sitting right.

Don't you what will be the heart of the brothers?

How in the world that the prime minister knows how

to make them to sit? How in the world because

they don't know it is the brother The whole ten

brothers would be now scared. Something have to be positioned,

and you needed to accept God, this is my place,

this is where I am. Unless your position, you cannot

be prospered unless your position, you cannot prosper. You are

a wife, your wife, no matter what your wife. I

am a sheep. For shepherd, I'm a sheep. I may

be a lion outside in my university, I may be

a warrior outside. But in the house of God, the

man of God is the shepherd. God sees the shepherd,

and he sees me as a sheep. He do not

see me as a preacher. He do not see me

as something. He sees me as a shepherd. I cannot

be blessed unless I honor my shepherd. Are you okay?

The shepherd is not only in church I'm talking about.

It's in your home, in your office, in the country,

in everywhere you go. Honor prepares you to be honored.

Honor prepares you to be anointed. Honored prepares you to

be prospered. God is not going I cannot say I

honor you and I disrespect the man of God. Forget

about it. God has seen him as a man of

I'm not prepared for this faster yesterday nine thirty. You

made me to preach, so I'm not fanning someone, all right?

So they I mean I wanted if you guys are.

If you guys are taking I mean pictures or notes,

you might see I have made that. Joseph is like

a typology of Jesus. Joseph was the favorite sign. He

was sold out, he was put in the prison. Joseph

was sold for thirty pieces. Right. Remember all this happened

to Joseph. Almost all of this happened to Joseph and

exalted on the right side. Jesus says, I am seated

on the right side of God so that he will

speak on our behalf. Okay, So they sat before him

in according to his birthright. If you're taking picture, just

go to the next one. Okay. God restores man's destiny,

He restores his order identity before influence. Something that you

needed to understand is unless or until you accept God's identity.

Andrew is tall, Andrew is handsome, Andrew is class. Andrew

is like this. Andrew is the way the Lord wants

him to be. Unless you accept your identity, you cannot

identify God's call. You needed to identify I am in

this church at this point of time. Here, I am

in this office at this point of time as a executive.

I am in this office as this identify with where

you are. And unless you identify yourself. Remember what Jacob

had happened. Jacob said, I am a supplanter. The angel

and the Jacob was fighting, and the angel said, what

is your name? God? My name is cheater. No. The

minute you accepted that you are a cheater, God has

made you to be the Prince of Israel. The minute

you accept this is what I am. I don't try

to be like Lithi Lithy, do not try to be

like me. Ashida cannot try to be like Adriel. Adriel

cannot try to be like Ada, because they are uniquely made.

I have made you the way I have made because

God wants you to be. The way your hair, color,

the height, the way everything is chosen by God. Every

single DNA in your body has the fingerprint of God.

Your emotions may have to be redeemed by the word

of God, be transformed by the word of God. Is

that okay? So the most important thing is God does

not multiply grace when identity is broken. The minute you

accept yourself that they these ten people has eleven people

have accepted this is my position. And Benjamin is sitting

on the last and remember what Joseph does is he

gives fivefold to Benjamin. May God bless you fivefold? Fivefold

two Benjamin. And it's a test how Reuben, Sime and

Levy everyone is viewing. Are they jealous or they are happy?

The minute I am jealous about Reesa's blessing, I am

not honoring God the reason that God has blessed Reesa

five times. Maybe only Heaven knows. But if Andrew gets jealous,

if Olivia get jealous, there is no honor in the

eyes of God. And we will not be positioned. And

Lisa has been given five part. My husband may get

five part, the wife may be getting five part, the

elder sister may get a national level international, but you

may not have gotten one. Are you carrying the grudge

in your heart? Are you going to be happy? If

I am not happy for my brother's blessing. If I'm

not happy the way I bless Lisa, then I am

not ready to be blessed. And this is a fivefold

is talking about the grace. And there is a grace

that has been positioned. And when I see, hey, paster

Jack has called him to do this, I'm not called.

Are you going to be hungry? Are you going to

be upset because God is not allowing you to stand

in the center. Because you are the center of your

own world. God wants to position you where you are

before He positions you what you want and where you

have to be. Are you? Are you okay? So that

makes sense? Is that? Okay? Your past would not determine

your future. Your present positioning will call for the heaven

to position you. Okay, fine, yeah, on the last lamp,

So can you go? This is the place that you

have to understand. Remember I was talking about the kasm

is a pattern where the first and the last will match. Okay.

In identity has to be restored. Jacob is ready to

release the son. Juda is ready to accept the son

as my person. When identity is restored, God will position

you in order what was said and done? What was

said and done. I have to call past A Jack

as pastor Jack. I cannot call pastor doctor Jill as pastor.

They may be a call, they may be a gifting.

But the church has called past A Jack as pastor Jack,

doctor Jill as elder. So I needed to honor that.

Only when that order is restored, the favor is released

and revival birth is it? Is it? Okay? May I

pray with you, guys, I'm about to finish. May I

pray with you that you and I will be in

a place where you are ready. God. I'm ready wherever,

however how small it may be. I'm ready to be positioned.

God will honor you. Know when Timu and Timur every

Timu and Timura, okay, right, timulisty. When these two girls,

when these when these two girls are ready and open

the door. You know what they are doing. They're honoring you,

and God will honor them by opening new doors in

different countries. It's not what they study. It's not what

when when? When? When? Now? When Aras I have seen

Alice sweated and he will be out calling people, make

God call him and they will call. I want only

Arris and Artist alone, because he was waiting to invite people.

It is not here I speak because I'm less. No

God sees the heaven sees that small act. Stephanie and

her brother I forgot the name forgive me Okaya, never man.

God sees them being faithful. When you are preparing a table,

that God expresso right. May God prepare a table before

you in the presence of your enemies. God Heaven honors

what you honor when your positioned. You know, it is

not easy for for Olivia to take these two children

and running and they will be playing around. But when

they are ready, when they are made, when because you

bring them into the House of God, God will house

them in a place of honor. Are you okay? It's

not easy, right, So it's very, very, very important that

many of us are in this transition moment.
