coming today when i came in and your i said are you are you supposed to be here i said yes i knew there would be a problem so i was actually going out when i saw a rampage all right all right let's take our confession for this morning one to go as i said so listen to the word of god today a daw of utterance has been opened unto me and i hear the voice of god clearly speaking to me this is the way to go work here in it i listen under the influence of the spirit of god and i'm not distracted by anything or anyone the word of god is full to my spirit i am strengthened by it this morning it is wine to my heart creating joy within me it's oil to my face causing my life to shine giving me victory in everything that i do as my eyes make contact with the scriptures used in this message the spirit of god opens new things to me he also brings to my remembrance things jesus once showed me i come to understand god's system on the earth and i receive instruction encouragement correction and enablement to live out god's will amen by the way i was going to say this worshiped him that was very powerful session all right i mean because i've been here since two minutes past it so i was dancing behind it was the switch to him and then back again as in school used to call it senior boy operation oh my school it's an ordinary all right then so today i want to continue because i still don't have a release to go off it all right to continue um there's a chain on the kingdom principle and the reason is if we do not understand and practice this then every other thing we learn and i'm paraphrasing the words of jesus will simply be like pouring water into a basket it will just uh leak all right away he said if you don't know this parable or you don't understand this concept of the kingdom how then will you be able to appropriate all right to understand all other concepts of god's kingdom and it talks about the concept of the seed blend of the fact that god has given us an opportunity in the realm of the spirit that is really mind-boggling in other words he says here is the land i want to show you how things are produced your heart is the land there are seeds there all over choose the seeds that you will sow in so that land kingdom seeds can be found in the scriptures as exceeding great and precious promises by it what will come out of the land if they are planted in and no effort is required on your own part to cause those things to spring forth the effort that is required on your part is to plant it into the ground you've got to cultivate it plant that particular seed in and then it says protect it from wrong types of seeds the ground there and the ground by itself will bring forth whatever has been sown on the inside of it it really doesn't make um there's no difference for the heart or the ground so produce there's i'm not using this figuratively now a seed of 1 000 measures and a seed that brings 1 billion measures in the same way the ground doesn't do more work if you plant your tomato seeds or orange seeds all right they go through the same process it is the seeds that you chose to put into the ground the farmer who plants tomato seeds and orange seeds isn't doing more work there they are depending on that ground so produce it they know not how now so the choice is yours here and it says plant the seeds into your heart the earth by itself will bring forth whatever has been sown on the inside of it so i'm looking at five steps in this concept here so changing at the landscape of your life and the outward appearance of your life and what you are doing why is this so important because the way god designed for souls to be worn is that those who already belong to him will demonstrate the marvelous light of god the excellencies of god such that gentiles will come to that light was that light let your light soul shine before men that they might see your good works let those works be manifest on the outside so that gentiles see the nature of the works that are coming out of your life and kings will come to the brightness of your rising so you're beginner to rise put up that scripture that says gentiles to come to your life love you to media now all right gentiles will come to your light and king said will come to the brightness there it says there is of your rising in other words you have defied the environment all right and everything within the environment cannot hold you down so your rise up supernaturally and produce powerful results in your life and so that's the way god wants to win salt and bring people and show the knowledge of jesus christ as as nicodemus came to jesus by night and said no man can do this works no man it was the light that was coming out of jesus that drew them to him so he wants us to manifest that's the authentic way so that there can be a conversion because then people are truly seeking for something and there can be that confession where they come from darkness into that light as the scripture says from disobedience to the wisdom of the just that's what the scripture records that you'll be converted from life of disobedience to the wisdom of the just for wisdom where is an operation is justified by her own children so i'm looking at first five steps here the first step towards changing the landscape and the outward appearance of your life is to understand this that the cause of your life that is the first step is that the cause of your life that is your deliberately decide so deliberately or unintentionally set the new cause or a new cause for your own life in other words you make that decision and you have come to understand that as a child of god one delivered out of the power of darkness transplanted into this kingdom the choice of the cause of your life is yours you have got to understand this that you have authority and the holy spirit has the power you make the decision and the holy spirit backs it up by releasing the power that's why in mark 4 and verse 26 it says the kingdom of god is as if a man the choice is that man's own a man shall cast seed and not show the ground you choose that so you can you've got to understand it the religious mind says well you know i just waited and to see whichever way god takes our life i know that's the way in which our life will go all right no no no no no all right god has given you authority and he says now you set the cause here you look through the word of god and you come to see the excellent grace and promise precious promises and you take that and decide and christians must know that they have that power that we are created in the image of god after his likeness with dominion and that god has delegated or writes the earth to humanity that's why if he wants to do anything on the earth it requires the authorization of a man which means somebody has to be the point of entry or the host for the manifestation of that thing on the earth this is the design of god now there's power there's authority he says i've given you the authority he went to meet adam he created the animals but because he had given authority there all right to adam he came with the animals to adam and said whatever name you give them that is their name he did not say this is the name he brought he only told him that our authority will be lost if you eat of this particular tree and that particular tree that brings death there we can the new testament here is if you break the commandment of walking in love and you go into unforgiveness because you got into this kingdom through forgiveness it says you have been transplanted where you have forgiveness the law you mustn't touch what you mustn't eat off is actually of hatred for any person that is the day in which you partake of it it says that is the day in which death sets in for we have passed from life from death to life because we love the brethren in other words listen if there's no hate in your heart you are not trying to suppress or destroy anybody this is the dream that you have and this dream is going to help people it's going to give opportunities to people god says go with it all right it's an issue there of love and religion has kept people bondage and they're thinking and their lives are out of control and everything they don't have nothing else when god wants to do things and all of that and you see if you don't use authority that authority that god has given to you don't use it satan will you stop that thing and what he's doing is without people knowing he's coming in and planting seeds all right and making use of that manufacturing center within you right and he's getting the seeds the bible says when did this happen the church when they slept when they were no longer conscious and he comes in the enemy and sows the seeds right on the inside there and says we will do that so authority uh the traffic warden has the same government behind the traffic warding is the same government behind a battalion one has power all right the other one has just authority and so the holy spirit is willing to back you right where you exercise that authority because he will help you to help somebody in the greek is to take hold together with that person so you have taken hold of something that it takes all together with you against it all right so you are not helping me if i don't show any inclination towards something in other words if i'm not trying to leave this monitor and someone just gets up here and carries the monitor all right and starts going out people don't say well wait what was wrong with you what's wrong because yeah because i didn't show but if i'm trying to leave the monitor and somebody gets up that person is taking hold together with me which means to help me overcome the infirmity which means the inability to carry that thing just by myself so you have got to exercise all right your own authority and say to yourself and understand this i am setting the cause of my life that is this is the decision that's why it tells us in proverbs 4 verse 23 uh the nlt version new level translation god above every other thing all right nlt guard your heart above hells for it determined and that heart you can control that it says guard it for it determines the cause of your life god is not the one that determines it it's your heart for it's out of your heart comes the issues of life so god says listen this is the system now what i want to do is to give you the seeds if there's life there's death choose life what i brought is seeds that will produce miracles on the outside that people will look at and say what's really going on here now i want you to plant those seeds there now then my experience will come out and i'm going to demonstrate things but the decision is yours listen the decision to succeed in life is not your environment the authorization is you the decision to get married whatever sex you are is yours not anybody someone says well nobody has come to meet me you decide you are getting married next year you will see the person with you you don't know you have the power to decide you think that some other people they have the power you have the power to say this is it here i am setting it here and i'm mixing all right that that has been given to us by god all right so whether you consciously know it or not your life is actually on auto cruise there is a program that is running based on seeds that have been sown on the inside and you may not know those seeds now i say come and take control of this seed because saturn has been using it in ignorance so gain control over the process this is what your will is supposed to be used for not to control try to control other people or manipulate or coerce them to do what you want them to do that part is god's business the heart of the king is in the hands of the lord there's a lot that does that you focus on yours i want to look at the seven five steps he wants us to do so on yourself your will is not to be projected on others all right so that they act towards you in a certain way changes will start when you fix the set point of your life for the next season which means as god said as far as your eyes can see that is what i am going to do have you ever found it or i quite interested that all the miracles jesus did he said according to your faith where the roman centurion came to jesus we don't get this and said sent people to jesus and said tell him to come to my house and come and lay his hands on my servant and then he changed his mind and he said listen he doesn't need to come under my roof speak the word only and jesus followed what they were saying the they said this is how i want you to do it jesus knew that's what they had faith for if you go there and you say that he don't that jesus understood speak the word only but if the president said come on lay hands you are saying speak the word only then there is no agreement there all right so it's based on we don't know this christians don't understand how much power they have so you change the set point because there's a set point now of your life and once you do that which means you fix it and you refuse to waver here what i'm saying not on from it regardless of what is thrown at you that's it we are in a warfare over this this is the next place we are going to regardless of what is thrown at me i'm not going to wave this is the next place that's your decision and i will give myself is your decision over in a self-crucifixion that i will carry the cross self-crucifixion to manifest this because you are going to get results by the law of manifestation is not through the law of toiling that struggle on the outside and that's when we're struggling trying to check no it's by the law of manifestation it's something that is already inside you you are bringing forth on there they say law of manifestation well look at it so you're gonna give yourself over all right and self-crucifixion what this means is that you put up your hand i'm going here i will make the adjustments all the adjustments that i needed to make as suggested by the spirit of god to me no matter all right what the cost is if those are the adjustments here i said i am going to make the adjustments and the second thing is i am going to learn everything he needs to teach me but this is the next phase the adjustments that i needed to remake i will make the adjustment god is not slack concerning his problem he said these people that are holding him back he said because they will not repent they will not make the adjustments that they are supposed to make i know what we have learned here from experience is that once people set specific goals for their lives they become teachable because they know that they have something to judge themselves by people that don't set goals which means that wherever life goes they're the ones that argue people that are trying to get results are listening to everybody because they want to find out if people that don't have that outside giving theology i'm telling you no i'm telling you guys people that have what they want to do all right they are open they listen they are teachable so it's by the principle of manifestation and not by toiling kingdom experiences all right image in your life as a plant that is growing within you rather than a person who is struggling to make it happen there's something called the law of manifest that means it manifests from you now when you are struggling to make something happen right you are toilet in other words the opportunities are not there it's just not that you are struggling you are you are going against something you are struggling manifestation you will be surprised i mean i was i was i was listening to a chap uh because i mean i know him i mentioned his name because it's not christian christian but he's into the music business he's globally now and he went into drugs and came out of drugs all right and they asked him in an interview so how much money did you make before you lost everything because you became a drug addict he said a hundred million us dollars gone all right because he said you're one of the most successful producers gone so someone now asked him how did you meet this person all right in the industry who brought you guns a relationship that brought all that wealth to you he said look i was in this area of united states doing stuff and then we were doing some programs so i did we decided to go to los angeles the first time he said i was going to get there i got there and i was somewhere he said this he said and this particular artist just came nobody really knew her then and you know i came from the same city we struggled and she said look this person has just signed me up and um you know i think you should meet him you might be interested in your talent and um um you know among all the guys that have come you are the only one back then who used to treat me well and danger and all of that so it's you i'm going to introduce to him and took him to meet this person and the truth so the person said play the piano let me hear what you can do he said he had no demo said just play the piano he said he was playing certain cards and everything and the trap next and the guy said oh all right next thing he said one of his guys just came with a key and said here's the key to your apartment you are not leaving this city again all right we've now taken you up into this we're going to start working together he said they did not know that the landlord was waiting for him where he was he didn't have enough money to even pay rent for his apartment so they were doing him a favor freeing him by telling him that's manifestation that's manifestation are you following the idea that's manifestation and i'll send them on thursday that someday i would and it's i just i just i was in england recently and i entered into a shop when i entered into the shop i saw a rucksack it was very nice like well let me know describe it okay because so that people don't all right but very nice rockstar so i said somebody in the office face just flashed that's happened by this for this guy so i bought it but then his is a new staff so i said ah let not this guy think that this is how this office is so now we just started working here when pastor travels before entitlement comes has he come has he come or has he opened the box and started thinking that every time but i looked at it so i said let me give somebody else so i thought about giving the other person so i said no that's what this person so i went to meet the person i said i bought these rocks i would have given you but this is what you do with this rucksack so i won't give you i'm going to give you someone so as i was telling her the guy walked into the office so i said i bought a rucksack for you he froze as i was a brother he said you won't believe last week the center he was posted to he went with his rucksack his rucksack was tonya thunder they were making fun of him that this year roxac needs salvation he said he told them that that you will see now we get to it you know what happened it is his heart all right and angels that honored something that he did that when i entered that shop flashed then i wanted to turn away from it do you get what i'm saying so kingdom experience imagines as a plant growing within rather than a person struggling without what you have to do is to attend to that garden within you so be conscious of the process going on within you and it is all right you can control that and that's all god wants you to control you can't control anything on the outside that guy could not make me you understand what i'm saying all right you can't call i mean i'm not even like that all right so i can't control anything on the outside right it's what's on the inside and this is what jesus was saying about the love man they said consider the lilies how they grow that's kingdom is by that growth within he said it's not by toiling or spitting that's what you can control and that's what you should focus on so plant the seeds not show the thoughts within you this is what i want to show in these five steps and they will grow into relationships on the outside opportunity on the outside and events all right on the outside there now when those opportunities come because you've been nurturing this thing that's when immediately you bring in the sequel so you understand that this is an opportunity that has been given unto me just like that chap they told him to come and play the piano he's not just giving money the opportunity to use his talent was given and he began to pray and you better play well at that time are you following him saying that so the opportunity comes but i don't come late at that time immediately he puts in the sequel because the harvest has come so when that door was opened up i mean there's a child who came to preach him uh and one day i saw him upset before he was calling him to america to preach all those things i said ah then he said he said he said he wanted a person he said it's worth it he said you're just seeing one he said the invitations i got but at the back there when he was in the minister's lounge he was written you could see he was changing his notes you could see he was conscious if i when he got on stage and i looked at him tears came to his eyes he knew the moment it was something that must have been in his heart but they call you to come and you are casual chewing gum when he says immediately means that it's time sensitive are you following what i'm saying somebody wanted to get married somebody instructed me this one was a church father was a very powerful man in this country and the man wasn't so inclined to do my child just hide why he wasn't but he was a performer when i said powerful was he governor sitting governor and then the guy was going to go his shirt wasn't ironed the guy said you see what do you get what i'm saying how can you be going to see your in-laws for the first time you know there's a particular model of cars it's my driver that told me when i say there is a fault ah i will say to you if i say i know in other words if you disgrace you which means if you're going to see your in-laws make sure you don't cry this guy because it gives the false stalk of can you imagine you embarrass the lady you embarrass yourself embarrass everybody i'm not talking i'm just saying that the way you convert yourself i have also seen in this church the parents wrote meet your pastor to tell you whether you should marry the lady i knew there was a prayer how can you go to see the parents that you're married and then the parents said go and ask your pastor i need the presenter to shift the issue to me that let the pastor tell say no that they coded that thing and when i went to find out what happened ah so what happened to that can you imagine they got to the end or the parents sat down and and now you are seeing the lady for the first time in your life your parents and the son sat down and he was late that said salman we have come to meet you to say that we want to are you following what i'm saying so even when they have escaped if those adjustments are not there the parent the whole family will run all right so the next step there understand you have this power get your goals i'm going to read it perfect testimonial get to the goals written down now transfer these goals from it's just been written transfer them into your imagination to become strong holds in your imagination which means strongholds in your life through your imagination that is they have a grief on you the bible says casting down strongholds and every major which means make it a stronghold anything you repeatedly imagine becomes a stronghold in other words it's a fortress now on the inside of you and you do this by repeated meditation upon it that is forming pictures and i'm going to show how scriptural and spiritual this is pictures as you motor god's word those promises to yourself this is how you get the seed right on the inside of you so you are transforming it into that it is what you see that god does that's why god told abraham as far as your eyes can do what see that is what i am going to give jeremiah 1 11 says what sees thou jeremiah 111 put it up what's cs thou and it says i see a rod of an almond tree in other words i see like a branch that is fruitful he now went on in verse 12 and then he said verse 12 next verse it says then said the lord unto me thou has well worth seeing thou has what well sin for i will hasten my word to do what perform it is the word you see that happens so the imagination and the use of it is not only spiritual it's scriptural unfortunately it's unbelievers that use their imagination christians don't do it that's what defeats us the whole church all right is largely ignorant about it forming images and and this is how you get things done you must start with the imagination genesis chapter 11 and verse 6. hear what god said concerning them you don't know man and god joins 11 6. all right and the lord said behold the people is one and they have one language and this they begin to do and now nothing shall be restrained from them that they have what imagined to do in other words in their imagination they are doing it nothing is going to be restrained that they have imagined to do so god is saying anything you are going to be to do you must first of all imagine yourself doing it genesis 6 and verse 5. why did god a judge it says and god saw the wickedness of man that it was great on the earth now what did he see when their wickedness was great he didn't see them killing that every imagination everyone of the thoughts of their hearts were only evil continually so god knew that listen once the imagination is considerably one way it's going to manifest it's a lot of manifestation he said take those people out let's get the floor because the imagination was what evil continually so we are talking about having a continuous using your faculty that's in meditation continually that's exactly what you are seeing change it i mean i've been doing research as to spiritually people get results and listen to something possible paulie said and everybody is doing it and he said look their church was at five thousand six thousand and they had to have a breakthrough and you know they said he said this is what he said it's what he said he changed was that they wanted to go to said he was twenty thousand one to go to he wrote twenty thousand he said he put it when he would wake up you know on the ceiling of his bedroom there he put it there put it everywhere around the house so that he began to see twenty thousand he said one day he woke up and realized that he had surpassed it he didn't even know is the law of manifestation in other words there's no toil christians don't know this all right that is you exercise yourself that this is where the real exercise is so constantly within yourself as you meditate you see that particular thing let me quickly read this person's testimony here a very powerful testimony and i said every week we we'll be putting out testimonies all right of folks who who stuff happen okay and this person said this i'm pleased to write you again to testify of the goodness of god and so thank you for rightly dividing the word of truth you taught us to write down our goals for this year they should be few clear and they should be measurable we shall be bold in what we ask god for i clearly wrote that i will get a permanent role in the government this is the uk in the government's digital firm where i was contracted and i will be on promotion to a band higher than i am currently on i also stated how much i wanted to end and i don't want to label or toil but that will happen by divine finger by the divine finger of god pastor i wrote this in my journal along with two other golds and pasted it on my home office wall confessed it every time i looked at it powerful principle and during all prayer times throughout the day especially the five year prayers backing it up with scriptures god gave me i kept thanking god and rejoicing that it's done i had the image of myself in my new role excelling being congratulated by executive members of staff on my invaluable contributions to project delivery what does chapman say powerful he said this month i applied pressure by setting an alarm on my phone for midnight praise and worship since the first of august they got this thing maybe about five days ago till date pastor as i write this my exact request has been answered i can't bore you with explicit details but god did it exactly as i asked are you following what i'm saying once seeds are planted inside they're going to come out so the picture must always be before you the bible says a good man out of the good treasure of his heart bring get forth good things it is here from heaven now god gives you treasure you put it in your heart if you don't put it in your heart nothing about can you imagine someone say that ah no thief will enter this house and put the bible under the pill and lies on it say i'm telling you psalm 91 i'm sleeping on it it's inside your heart it walks all right and an evil man out of the evil treasure in his heart will bring forth evil things so proverbs chapter 16 verse 29 verse 30 shows us how evil men do it and is this principle here the bible tells us proverbs 16 29 and 13 a violent man entices his neighbor and leadeth him in a way that is not good how does he do it next verse he shuts his eyes to devise forward things moving his lips he brings evil to pass that's how he does all right everybody that is getting results they are making use of the faculty of their imagination i mean when i'm going to teach it here in leadership but you have three boxes we can draw and sometimes christians particularly people in ministry don't know this there's a spiritual side where i say you're a pastor but then there's another skill there are two other skills there's pastor there's leader there's management there's leadership that is different for management all right people that are in leadership use their imagination people in management don't understand it is what the leaders produce that they give the managers to manage because everything we have today that we're using that causes society to advance is somebody that reimagined the world without him and decided in boldness that they were going to go into they reimagined which means somebody's imagination created this experience that we have today that i can preach from a wireless mic stand here and people all over the world are watching at this particular point in time i mean a friend of mine in england was a medical doctor i told him they had increased his salary he was in london i told him because on the internet when he was announced he hadn't seen it because that one happened 30 years ago you tell someone in london you know they've increased your salary by 2.5 he said is that so are you serious i said yes i said go to this website you see it can you imagine somebody telling you where you are that your own salary has increased and they are back dated it's illegal he said are you serious why jack hundred years ago when you tell somebody in england so somebody reimagined the world and when they were doing their imagination someone said can happen what are you saying are you a witch god you'll be telling somebody in other words which you fly or what see the civil war the step three there is gratitude and you have to get this concept here now there's something in this i know you know praise and about i want to show you something gratitude and praise i want to get something here acknowledging every day your receipt of that particular thing which means gratitude is to acknowledge before god that you have received something from him and you are thanking him all right for giving you that thing and you are praising him for his ability that worked to grant that thing unto you now best practice is twice a day now the reason why i said that is that the tabernacle of david all right incense was offered which is worshiped twice a day and they were not just doing wishful thinking but but but don't forget this the fire on the old time will never go out god told them that luke chapter 12 he told them in clear times he said jesus said keep the fire burning in other words that fire where the incense being offered must never go out so when your faith all right it's out there for something your mars keep the fire born now let me tell you something about faith you don't just practice faith you know and this happens a lot of times to people here look you know just practice faith when you're in church or something or when you pray you do faith moment by moment are you following i'm saying yeah moment by moment you see what that guy said every time i see it i say something every time i see it i say something all right you do it moment by moment if you're going to meet a doctor and maybe you felt pain in your knees or something and the doctor tells you well you know it looks like when you get get old you know you're going to have arthritis and you know so take it easy and all of this my friend from that day forward for the next 20 years it must be on your lips no that when the jesus finally comes yeah but the doctor told me let's go and pray oh boy late so every time you put on the television and someone said something about a disease that they had in old age and you hear then the holy spirit reminds you say something faith is what you do continuously so hold fast your confidence and rejoicing of hope firm you must be firm do not waver if you tell yourself that your children are going to go to the best schools in the world even when they are two years old start confessing it it's not when it's time to pay for the feast and the child comes and says i've passed the exact say hey i'm gonna they said seven two thousand hey your master is saying it and when those doors start opening up and relationships are opening up opportunities begin to come when you start getting money the holy spirit will tell you put this one aside in this investment you say no no it's look faith it's not that we're placing the floor in emergency look joseph prepared by setting aside 10 percent his faith you know you are going to pay house rent in eight months time you have done calculation have you ever watched that normal movie calculator have you ever watched it if you can't find that nothing what's that man's name um very funny actually what's his name what's this one's name what calculator no calculator or sofia oh it's removable i saw when he met his bride and he gave him bright price he brought a calculator he said you need to go back home because all right so begin to speak hold fast your confidence add to it rejoicing all right and you must be firm do not whiffer it's warfare the person who blinks loses with thanksgiving and praise many powerful things happen number one the mental adjustments that you will require will begin to come to you in other words what are the adjustments that i would need to make those adjustments nascar which means the information you need will start coming to you as you are praising and thanking god the adjustment that you need to make will start coming you start getting knowledge of it to switch this to switch that to change this right with thanksgiving and praise you acquaint yourself with god that's the way you acquaint yourself which means acquaint thyself with him you come into harmony with god concerning that particular thing all right yeah sure in 1991 i invited reverend miko to come and speak at a fellowship and i will never forget what he said at one point in the meeting it is vivid and clear it's one major remarks i got in my life it was in the it was in the conference center of the of the guest house all right we just discovered that it was very beautiful day and it was preaching he got down from the stage and was walking down this side i remember him clearly saturday morning and he said when i want to reach out for something and i'm not sure whether god will have me to god wants me to have it or not he said the way i know is i begin to thank god for that particular thing thanking him and praising him he said if it's not right for me it would be like a scratch in my spirits i will know something is wrong i said this is principle now that somebody comes and switches with a i heard a voice that one you have lost us but son says thanking god this one messiah he says once is wrong and let me tell you ah if you can if you can get revenant mikko to teach faith you will not believe things you say that man he that man kind faith if you can just get him say sir don't move just this faith all right so your brain yourself that's why when nebuchadnezzar began to praise god he said my reasoning returned to me and my what understanding as you begin to praise and worship god over it the wisdom you need the understanding to make it happen comes into your soul that's why romans 1 21 said when they did not think and praise him he says their foolish hearts were darkened so darkness comes when there's no praise and thanksgiving because as you praise god god has given us a lord draw nigh unto me and i will do what draw nigh unto you in other words we enter his gaze with thanksgiving so as you come and you do that you draw nigh and whatever comes close you reflect the nature of that thing all right the closer you get to the sun the more the intense presence of the sun is felt the closer you get to god the more you wear god in you thanksgiving over that thing now let me now say this and there's the one you mustn't forget and here is where people miss it here and when people give testimonies here and i read through text bodies i store the testimonies because i want to see the pattern all right so so what you do is for example you preach and when we give feedback on your messages all right when i say feedback when they even tell the testimonies on the right like this yeah i study it to know all right how do these people apply this thing i want to find a common trend the next time you're going to teach on that subject you stay with that trend now i have seen this anytime anybody i have another one here of someone in this church all right now any time i'm saying next week anytime anybody gets into a place where they're disappointed about something like we read last week and they turn to god in worship at that moment they always get something bigger so thanksgiving stops you from dwelling on the negative all right the moment you allow your mind to dwell now you can see things but once your mind begins to dwell all right on with dissatisfaction upon things as they appear in the natural the grounds that you have already covered in the spiritual you will lose it let me tell you again the advancements you have made or i want to allow with this satisfaction on what's going on in the natural and the thing enters into your heart all right the gain you have got it and you lose in spiritual things you can take two steps forward and go three steps backward that's why when moses pulled up his hand the advance when you put down his hands you stop the praise you lose grounds he lost the ground you lose the ground are you from saying and what happens what makes it happen is that they look i don't want to tell people but but for high achievers who will say this to others we'll leave them if people just don't comment let me tell you no matter how harsh an environment is if you have a clear vision it is working for your good i don't care which government is or the policies of the government and let me tell you this if you don't know how to swim you can't save a drowning man the only people that can save this country are people that survive this country and thrive in the country they can pull the country up that you are complaining about the country doesn't mean you can't change the country in fact it means if they put you there you will pull the country deeper that is the fact of life have you seen somebody driving water and someone says i can't swim he's just telling him flap this way flap that way flap this way they can't save you is someone that survived that that knows i can go in and do it as i said there's before in america they never elected anybody president i think the first person i allowed was jfk because his father backed him and his father did it nobody will become president of america if you don't have a story of from from grass to great that is you survived something and you'll come out and in your campaign that's what you would say you start out by saying that listen my this was this like this was that that's where that's the way they do it's just obligated they stopped doing it and that's why they're consciously going to all these things so i mean my landlord back then i just called him toby said he said he said it's almost on his head but then where in jabba place there he told me said myself this person if i call all those names you know who they are in this country this person this person one was an express then this person we decided no matter the kind of government we are making money if you don't have money you can tweet but you can't fund people is tweet and tweet that doesn't change anything let me tell you this people who operate in power demonstrate their power by the ability to remain focused on their goals to matter the noise around so you go with thanksgiving unto god no matter what happens father we give you thanks are you following me jonah chapter two verse eight i'm gonna show this here you use thanksgiving to reverse i have just had five minutes jonah two eight and nine it says they that observe lie in vanity is to what so those that dwell those that observe means they focus okay they behold it all right forsake their own mercy but i instead of dwelling on that i will sacrifice it's a sacrifice because having manifested with the voice of thanksgiving i paid that which i avowed salvation belongs to the lord and the next thing was manifestation so the people satan wants to exchange something in the spirit realm he puts it you dwell on it he exchanges that's why how do we know you can lose ground peter was walking on water the power of god was an operation then he dwelt on the boisterous wind and all that he had gained was lost romans 4 19 and 21 it tells us 1920 sorry it says that and being not weak in faith he considered not his own body now dead when he was about a hundred years old neither the deadness or syria's womb but how did he do that but was but was strong in faith verse 20 verse 20 all right but he staggered not at the promise of god that he didn't move backwards through unbelief but was strong in faith saying glory to god so when you meet with something that contradicts it you turn take your mind off you don't behold that and begin to give him thanks step four i'm going to teach on this more it's about prayer that releases angels your actions in the natural will only have supernatural impact when angels have first been released in answer to prayer now god walks on the inside through the holy spirit and he walks on the outside through angels everything he does on the outside is angelic activity what he does on the inside is the holy spirit but what he does on the outside when i say god move somewhere it's angels that are doing that all right and if you read it from genesis there you'll see angels all over and the way you get angels released is prayer so you get into prayer and angels only get released all right when you have in prayer overcome demonic influence that may want to stop that thing from happening that's why i've said this to people that teach this hyper grace message that say that the heavens already up everything is done we don't do anything except that person already had an established church when they veered into it there is no record of anybody teaching that message that can build any ministry on this earth because one thing that message does is that it stops you from engaging in spiritual warfare i end those spiritual so the only two ways not that ministry bishop butler told me he said when were pushing back against it in this country he said stand your ground he said he told me after i said every six months we preach the message put it out there because the spirit will come back he said we have people thought they were doing something new in this country he said the spirit will come back every six months so stand again and keep pushing it against that message there he said this message has split the largest churches in europe and you ask people i said that god after jesus finished his walk what did he say sit until i make thine enemies thy footstool oh god what's your problem that's finished work until i make that enemy which means there's some enemies we're going to deal with you've seen what you have done how didn't he say that and overcame him by the blood if it wasn't the finished work was the blood shed at that point or did it was another blood do i use it you know how people get into error they use common sense on scripture instead of using scripture to interpret scripture so once they say we are seated they say anybody seated somewhere doesn't mean it's already seated it's common sense like someone said in fact somebody was telling me his peer told him that was the last time he was in the church there it went to preach he said now that we're in christ and we have blessed everything we don't make any requests again to god because everything has been given once you're in christ as they were going to psa but philippians 4 said make your request no not to god somebody escaped why are you young you are using common sense on scripture all right so angels will come and angels open doors in answer to prayer step six and i'll just close with this one here and i want to say this here and this major reason why we have covenant community groups which will be starting soon all right because what you are doing is to bring in people right of similar similar stages in their life with similar goals there and it's global and network those minds together to produce i then bring the book henry ford said when this particular individual became his friend his finances his his his what was producing his company doubled when he entered into a certain neighborhood and this other person became his friend leaving some doors away from his house it quadrupled there five of them who were friends created and all of them were wealthy now the reason is the reason is your association which means what you are listening to who you are listening to you're interacting counts for something you have to have people in your life who are bringing ideas and thoughts wisdom knowledge putting it into your soul concerning that dream because that's watering it's there so the whole idea is to create networks of people you have to be deliberate and conscious about it where people now are exposed all right and that kind of information can come i mean a lady came to see me in church last one i said pastor she said you don't understand i joined the weight loss group she said you don't understand i looked and i said what are you saying said this is the photograph of me i looked at the photograph i looked at her i said i can't recognize that this year she said the changes because somebody that knew how to wait to taught them what to eat what to do the kind of exercises everything and they did it said she said look at me because she had a baby she had i think twins or so said i just i i don't i know there was almost an ailment again she said and then they showed me and taught me it's this it's that i'm just close here i got children i've never seen these two scriptures together before in my life ecclesiastes 10 10. all right it says if the iron be blonde and you do not wet the edge that's like a cutlass the iron is blonde and you don't wait or sharpen the edge then you must put more strength to it but wisdom is profitable to do what direct so it's saying that you sharpen something by getting wisdom for that particular thing and it gives you that this is how you should go about it or else you are going to put more strength in because your iron is blocked but where does this wisdom come from proverbs all right 27 and verse 17. he says iron sharpness iron so a man sharpness the countenance of his friend that thing is coming from somebody else that thing that will sharpen you for it you'll get it from somebody else that's why those who don't connect with others for the purpose of transference of knowledge all right are struggling in life ion sharpness iron moses with all that moses was he saw god he was born in bush he went up 40 days of fasting came back with the law it was jethro that told him how to organize the ministry or else moses would have died prematurely why didn't god tell him on the mountain why moses would have had an idea i said what are you talking about i find my friend my friend i'm deep here listen to me i don't do anything apart from that with the holy ghost the holy ghost tells me i mean i mean he spoke to me on how to pass the red sea who are you to come and tell me that's why it's only the humble that will make you too and that's why people are dealing with things like this you keep your ears to the ground because the information and the adjustments you're supposed to make will come to you let me close by saying this here it was dr female rabusi that told me this after worker's music he just said it he just said it in person to me i laughed and i i thought deeply about that he he said you know he said this after i talked about you know all of that so i was going as i was leaving he was over there he's a person he said you won't believe this he said this thing you're saying he said i brought my father to church many years ago he sat down after he finished listening to you he came he said your pastor teaches well but there's one thing you people should do this is about ten maybe one teacher immediately he gets down from the pulpit pray for five minutes do you know what we are doing now somebody is father but you look at him your anglican you get what i'm saying here that's what jethro was let me tell you why many ministers feel they don't listen to businessmen that's all they don't listen to people in corporate world they tell them ah there's a way in which you can because jethro was like a corporate guy there's no trace of him they there's no no the only way we do things is by the way coating theology this is oga organize it no no no no no no no no no no the holy ghost the holy ghost put i mean you called the name of your church something i told somebody this name is too deep for the general public no that's the number holy ghost told me i said okay but he didn't tell you to put it in greek no it's a greek word nobody will know your assignment no no no the holy ghost i saw that was the last time i came to he said i want you to be my mentor i told him this name is too deep that's the last time yeah i was reading a book the bible started teaching church growth he said i took the content i called it missions nobody listened i changed it and said world evangelism they didn't listen i said church growth principles the whole world came to hear it the way you name something counts father in the name of jesus christ we thank you ask that your word goes deep down by the spirit into our consciousness expands on the inside of us and brings forth 30 60 and 100 fold in our lives in jesus mighty name amen god bless you amen shall we stand up to our feet as we pray isaiah 12 3 isaiah 12 verse 3 isaiah 12 verse 3 very quickly if you read from verse 1 we're going to we did this um prior to today's service so we're going to just go through that again oh and again there's some explanation to this all right so jesus had an encounter with the samaritan woman by the world this is the same conversation john 4 and i think it's john 4 13. yeah john 4 verse 13 he said jesus answered her all would drink of this water will will be thirsty again verse 14 verse 14. but whoever takes a drink of the water that i will give him shall never no never be thirsty anymore but the water that i will give him shall become a spring of water welling up flowing bubbling continually within him unto into for eternal life then isaiah isaiah 12 verse 3 isaiah 12 verse 3 this is where jesus got it from he says therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation so we're going to go through this again if you go to verse 4 or even from the beginning he spoke about thanksgiving he says and in that day you will say give thanks no no verse four it says give thanks to the lord call upon his name and by means of his name in solemn treaty declare and make known his deeds among the people on the earth proclaim that his name is exalted so while the praise was going on this morning so we're going to do the different dimensions so that we don't um we're not in well i don't want to interject again as we begin to pray so you're going to envision those things that you're praying for happen already which means that you're going going to thanksgiving after you see these things as you draw out the wealth of salvation you're going to go into this space and begin to give thanks to god for that which he has done for you if you're believing god for a promotion if you're believing god for a child if you're believing god for whatsoever anything you you're believing god for you're going to assume and imagine that that thing has been given to you all right and then you're going to praise him for it go back to isaiah 12 3 and we're going to repeat the the we're going to meditate now isaiah 12 verse 3 on the count of three one two three therefore with joy i will draw water from the wells of salvation therefore with joy i will draw water from the wells of salvation therefore with joy i will draw water from the wells of salvation therefore with joy i will draw water from the world self salvation begin to pray begin to pray and give thanks to god begin to pray and give thanks to god that from from from the wealth of salvation with joy our joy in the name of the lord jesus christ begin to speak begin to draw [Music] from the wells of salvation draw joy from the wells of salvation begin to rejoice in that which god has made available to you in this moment begin to rejoice and begin to draw just stay up your spirit stab your spirit thank him thank him thank him for the manifestation of the things of the spirit thank him thank him because he has prospered the work of your hands thank you for your children thank him thank him that you paid those goofies effortlessly thank him that there are no limitations upon your life thank him george your job with joy draw out with joy draw house with joy draw house with joy draw out from the wells of salvation to your house jesus said you will test no more you will test no more because of that water that is given to you you will test no more when you face challenges you will test no more because he has given to you that well from the inside of you [Music] draw out your health draw house don't keep quiet this moment draw out from the wells of salvation from the inside of you begin to draw out draw out the grace of god throw out begin to see yourself helping people begin to see yourself being the people people need now let us begin to give him thanks give him praise give him praise give him praise give him praise thank him thank him thank him thank him thank him thank him for what he has done thank him for what he has done [Music] thank him for what he has done in jesus name finally when when god created man one of the things he said is this he said when he created not when he formed he said when he created man he blessed man so there are two things he created man and when he created man he blessed him after then he now breathed the i mean when he was forming he now breathed his nose real into it which is the the gift of life so in this moment you're going to begin to bless the work of your hands you're going to begin to bless your children some of you have probably never said certain things to your children you're going to begin to breathe into them right now bless the work of your hands speak to the work of your hands begin to say specific things to the work of your hands that have moved from this level to the next level be specific don't just say i bless the work of my hands said specific things say specific things to the work of your hands that have been promoted from level four to level one steer to it speak to it speak to it speak the things that you want to see this is not a prayer speak to it speak to it speak to it break life into the work of your hands breathe life into your children breathe life into that things that god has created for you through you in the name of the lord jesus christ [Music] breathe life into it breathe life infuse the life of god infuse it we are speaking spirits we are speaking spirits infuse the life of god father we give you praise and things father we thank you in jesus name we have prayed father we thank you we thank you because none of our words were returned to us void that have accomplished all that it has been sent to do in jesus name they will come back with seeds harvest in the name of the lord jesus christ we are speaking spirits we are spoken words that are irreversible in this moment and so we see the manifestation on the outside in our children and the walk of our hands in our environment in the mighty name of our lord jesus christ we give you all the prayers and all things in jesus name amen let us put our hands together for the lord we may be seated we may be seated very quickly they have three important announcements you should never miss this

this week preparing for that meeting planting seeds of the word into your heart you know speaking to your body speaking restoration into your circumstances ahead of that meeting so let's all take the time this week even if it's just a few minutes a day to prepare for that meeting so let's have the bible story video where we discuss how to practically implement what we hear from the pulpit at various times and to get biblical perspectives on topical issues we are daily faced with together at the sunday school we prefer solutions to common challenges we face as christians at work at home the marketplace and even in church bible study classes are interactive and engaging as we encourage one another in our faith walk the covenant nation igamu invites you to join us every sunday at 7 45 a.m for the first service and at 9 45 a.m for the second service please note that if you're in for the second service it will help to come in earlier to avoid the traffic after the first service and to ensure that you are in the auditorium ready and seated in good time for the bible study we look forward to receiving you [Music] [Music] [Music] thank you very much so um for the bible study i don't need to i don't write it speaks for itself so we've started a new yeah somebody's excited so we've started a new series walking themed walking with god so today was introductory so if you weren't here today um we have divided into classes so you can still join a class and get started with the next one um with the new one or next week sunday you don't want to miss it so endeavor adjust your schedule get to church early and be part of the bible study all right okay so i have a few um announcements right after the service there is farmer's market today after the first service and after the second service as well so you should go there and make your purchases of fresh farm produce from members of the church who have the fresh farm produce right there once the second service starts it will stop and then you you can purchase after the second service the um this is powered by the covenant capital so let's all go right there from the end after the um this service um for the rest of the announcement because of time i'm just going to make it this quick this is one announcement that we're going to make everybody that wants to join a group or the other e-library is calling for new members and they also have their ticket at the information and help desk all the various departments you might want to join go to the information desk but i'm going to talk quickly about the food drive so the food drive is about obeying what god said to the israelites in deuteronomy 15 about giving to the poor media amongst you this is not from the covenant nation globally this is from within governor nation egomo us responding to the needs for to the people in need in our midst is a family thing we're a family church and we're responding accordingly so for now it is an in-house outreach it is not an outward outreach when we want to reach out to people outside we will announce that and we will gather and we will give from the people outside to the people outside so we're not inviting um people outside for this one it's purely for members of the church because there are people you work with that you may not even know that they have needs there are people passing through a face you're working in the various departments you're work doing various things and they they are in need so it's an opportunity for us to obey that for some of us we're giving out of the abundance for that we have for some of us it's going to be like the macedonian kind of giving so if you want to give into the um if you want to give go to the help desk the link can be put up you know go to the information and help desk and fill a form and you receive an email on exactly how to give either food materials or cash those of you that brought your food material to church today as you have been informed for those that have indicated you're going to take it to the children's church there's a room there where we're going to receive it and the distribution will be next week sunday um and all the people that have indicated that they want to receive will receive an email on exactly how to pick that up so we have very little window to indicate and drop what we have um thank you very much as you give and as as god promised in this in the bible passage i was referring to earlier whatever you put your hand upon as you give he will surely surely bless abundantly amen please let us rise up and close the service let us share the grace in fellowship the grace of our lord jesus christ the love of god and the sweet fellowship of the holy spirit rest and abide with us now and forevermore in jesus name amen and surely god's goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in the house of the lord forever and ever amen so remember to introduce somebody you have met to another person but we need to proceed to leave the auditorium now so that the next service can start you
