Facing Life in Tough Times | Day 11

and in church i am a church elder i've been unwell for the last 12 years when we had our third bond in 2008 i got a problem during delivery that caused me a back pain and for eight good years i was living in anguish of back pain when it came to the year 2019 my doctor said that it was time that i went for spinal surgery because all interventions had failed i gathered courage and i accepted and on the 13th of november 2019 i underwent a major spinal surgery at st luke's orthopedic hospital in eldorade it was a major surgery because it took eight good hours and just before i walked into this surgery i prayed to my lord and i said that everything belongs to him that everything he's in charge of everything but my prayer was that he gives me life and i'm happy that after eight good hours i was awake but awake to a lot of pain because four of my spinal bonds at the back had been removed that is l4 l5 l3 l4 l5 and s1 and they had been replaced by screws and metals so if you looked at it there was no hope but i'm happy that jesus gave me hope because he said by his stripes i am healed it's been a long journey because that was november 2019 i was in bed no turning left no turning right not being able to bet myself or do the basic things the nurses did everything for me but i'm happy because i had hope it was facing life at tough times my dear sickness is a hard time but when you have hope then everything changes each of my day has been a day of hope friends you may take it for granted that you are able to sit that you are able to stand that you are able to squat and do anything but that has not been possible for me in the last two years and i'm happy because when i read my bible jesus tells me that i've heard you a cry i will heal you that has been my hope that i am healed in in jesus name losing your disks n 3 l 4 n 5 and s 1 actually the spine is what makes an individual you are able to stand or sit or even sleep because of your spine but i'm happy because i changed my focus immediately i changed my focus to god i changed my focus to hope and in indeed it's very true that each and every day i begin my day with a devotion which i even do share in the church one what's up one of my church and that to me my it's an encouragement to me first and i've always wanted to encourage others that in whatever situation you are passing through whether it is sickness like my sickness where i have been down for two years i actually have been going to hell i've been going to eldorade on an ambulance because i cannot sit up to eldorade so i go there on an ambulance i'm attended to and i come back to miguri on an ambulance but i've never given up in fact in all my dreams i dream that i'm walking that shows that i have hope so this day my friends i just want to give everyone hope what i've gone through is something enough to make you question whether god exists it is something to make you question whether god loves you healing may not come in a snap healing comes at god's own time but the fact that today after using two crutches actually i started on the one that the stand that has four and then i went to two crutches and today i'm using one crutch just for stability when i'm walking outside and on my waist here i have a back corset that is what has enabled me to sit i'm happy that i've reported back to duty by the way i'm a high school principal and i'm happy that i'm back to my work and i'm now attending to my students i'm attending to the parents and all the the stakeholders even the teachers and i just want to say that god is great so in whatever situation that you may be passing through let us trust god god loves us and god's words that does not return to him void when he says that by his stripes you are healed i am healed i am very happy because i am healed i am very happy because i have hope and that is the hope that i want to share to those people who are in bed to those people who are in hospitals to those people who are at home around unwell who are facing difficult times just the same way i would face difficult times that let us have hope in god let us have our daily communion with god and trust in his promises that whatever he says will come true may god bless you abundantly thank you [Music] eleven for more beautiful things if you're just tuning in today for the first time you have missed but

much the choirs it's another good evening i'm welcoming you to mcgowan central sda church for this times satellite evangelism now it is family life time and just to recap on some of the good words we've got from our speaker remember she talked about the endangered species the endangered patina she talked about when the foundation is under attack now remember she even talked about penetrating the spiritual realm all this is for the benefit of the family why because pastor elizabeth mukuro is passionate about maintaining family relationship in these tough times and she believes that all the families as brought together by god should be maintained at all cost in the christian virtue remember pastor elizabeth is married to one husband george mccoro they are blessed with five children i welcome you all for this evening's family life session and also remember yesterday she talked something which really touched very many of us if you are not touched then i call upon upon you to be touched today what did she talk about most talked about but less practice otherwise may god bless us all let us pray gracious heavenly king of glory the one who lives in the rainbow encyclotron in a land where night never comes honor and glory be ascribed back to the omnipotent god we want to thank you so much because of what you've done this virtual evangelistic campaign this is the 11th day father that we have brought us safe and we want to say it is our ebenezer we are thanking you for the speakers that you continue to use may you use them mightily for your course your daughter will be coming here to speak cover sister elizabeth mokoro in a special way that when she will stand to break the oracles almighty god use her because our families are living in the times of challenges when the world is going to speak to us here in the glory central church and by extension to our global audience lord i am praying that touch each and every soul father as your speaker the beloved pastor samuel messiani will be breaking the oracles lord we are praying and in advance that you see mightily also father will not forget to remember and put those who are deciding to accept jesus christ as their personal savior that on the coming sabbath they will be baptized in this spectacular event i want to pray for them lord that seal their decision by the power of the holy ghost that their decision will one day make them pass through the sea of glass when our lifeguard will be over here thank you father now let this program run in the dictate of heaven shower your people wherever they are if in this meeting and in our extended audience they are somebody who is sick lord you are the doctor in a sick room you are also a lawyer in a courtroom fix our hearts be with this meeting and as we say hallelujah amen let your name receive home and glory is my humble prayer in the holy name the name of jesus christ and let everybody say amen the lord is good i'm waiting for my time so we can still greet each other the lord is good and all the times we thank the lord for the blessings of reign there is nothing that overtakes the lord nothing he foresees it before it comes and he'll use all of them to glorify his name we had said that the only way to penetrate the realm of the spiritual is through prayer and fasting yesterday we discussed prayer there was a beat we left i think on sunday that we will connect we were to connect with today allow me say about fasting that there are things that only fasting can sow because if it is true that scenes are first completed in the realm of the spiritual and then they manifest in the realm of the physical then the the best solution would be to get into the realm of the spiritual and shut down the activities there before they manifest in the spiritual in the physical so when you're able to see beyond that which you're going through and engage in spiritual warfare then you will understand their sins that only fasting can sow let me do second chronicles chapter 20 second chronicles chapter 20. i'll pick it from verse one up to three it happened after this that the people of morb with the people of ammon and others with them besides the ammonites came to battle against jehoshaphat then some came and told jehoshaphat saying a great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from syria and they are in hazard zone tamar which is engedi and joshua fought fear i mean there is a situation we have an army a nation coming to attack so naturally you would fear so the bible says and jehoshaphat feared but i like what he did the bible says and set himself to seek the lord and proclaimed a fast throughout all judah i believe he would have had other ways to deal with it i mean call all the princes let us agree how do we move forward call all the priests call the chief priests do we move forward with this battle there was time for all that but the whole shepherd realizes that this switch we are facing right now it requires we seek the face of the lord and he sets the whole nation into fasting i am saying that our seeing psychologists cannot sow and i've seen many couples having serious marital issues for the last five years they have been visiting a psychologist no problem i mean it eats up your mind some mental health issue it can turn to that but at the end of the day they come to you and say we have not found help there are things psychiatrists cannot so there are things counselors cannot handle the things mentors can not deal with there are things even the doctor cannot handle not even lawyers can do it not even family meetings in fact the worst is when you have a marital issue and you want to bring families on board let me tell you even if your son is wrong there is no way a parent will side with the other duty everyone will seek to side with their child because there's a way their son has told the story it is this girl that is bad there is a way the girl has told the story it is this man that is bad who are we supposed to believe [Music] and you realize you're only erring your dirty blanket in public the next time you want to visit this girl's home they do not respect you their details the family knows that they should not have known there's no respect those that are always so ready to run home there's a situation here only fasting can because fasting involves relocating into the realm where things are cooked and completed before they manifest in the physical realm and so fasting let me define it would be the willful it's willful no one forces you let us not engage in fasting because it is a program of the church every first sabbath of the quarter no it is willful abstaining from natural pleasure for spiritual purpose and that would mean abstaining from food abstaining from tv abstaining from social events abstaining even from sex as paul puts it for couples and all forms of destruction if you can physically translocate do it there is one fasting that i think i enjoyed than all the fastings i have heard i had to translocate from home kisumu all the way to kissy and i engaged in a three day fasting three days three nights no water no food it's just you and god no baby is saying mom makoro is not there to say it's just god and i the two of us if you can translocate the better because you're looking for something higher than the natural you're badly in need of god that you deny us to test heaven you're willing to renounce the natural to invoke the spiritual power in your life you're willing to suppress them the physical and have the spiritual beat of you over and above your mental and your physical being mark chapter 2 mark chapter 2 mark 2. let me read 18 to 20. there's a little bit of complaint why the disciples of jesus are not fasting the disciples of john and of the pharisees were fasting then they came and said to him why do the disciples of john and of the pharisees fast but your disciples do not fast and jesus said to them can the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them as long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot first i mean why do we first we fast because we are seeking the face of god to know his will we are seeking the face of christ so he's saying why should they fast and they are with christ himself if we are fasting to seek christ's face the disciples are already with him so there is no need to fast and then 20 says but the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them and then they will fast in those days do we still have the bridegroom with us no so he was taken away and he says when he's taken away then his disciples must now fast and that includes you and me it includes those with answers and diabetes because if it is the only way then the devil will always look for something to stop you from doing it so you are forever having answers forever there's just a condition that stops you from fasting cannot allow you to but it is the only way to penetrate the spiritual i i was one with serious ulcers and i kept on saying i can't fast until the day i learned what fasting is and i told god these three days i'm going to kiss you too fast that will be the last time i ever experienced ulcers to death i have not felt it to date because fasting also brings healing to the physical body acts 13 chapter 13 verse one two three now in the church that was at antioch there were certain prophets and teachers banaba simeon who was calling niger lucius of siren manayan who had been brought up with herod the tetrarch and so as they ministered to the lord and fasted the holy spirit saying i love that beat as they ministered and fasted god spoke because you want to hear what is god saying what is his dream when a young girl comes to me and say pastor should i marry him or not basically what they're saying is i need to know the will of god regarding this person i am man i cannot begin to imagine what god wants the best i can do as a pastor is engage in fasting to seek the will of god for her the holy spirit said now separate to me by numbers and soul for the work to which i have called them then having fasted and prayed these two things are twins prayer and fasting and laid hands on them they sent them away i love the apostolic church look at chapter 14 the same book 14 verse 23 the bible says so when they had appointed elders in every church and prayed with fasting they commended them to the lord in whom they had believed it's called ordination of elders look at how we do our donation when we want to a day that is the day we have budgets for food it's when we are cooking say chicken 20 pieces fish 50. you know we have guests coming chapati two bundles all areas are on duty is a big deal people seriously ordaining elders here through prayer and fasting as what do we do eat there is no leadership of the church that will ever be successful if forever they are on a full stomach never never no ministry succeeds while people are always full [Music] they were not just a praying people like we are but are fasting people matthew 6 16 i'll keep shuffling from one book to the other matthew 6 verse 16 the bible says moreover when you fast you can read the rest i'm interested in that phrase when you fast it means just like prayer we saw yesterday it is not an option it's not saying if you fast says when you fast fasting is not an option just like prayer it is expected because that is what lifts you from the realm of the physical to the realm of the spiritual to deal with spirits so like prayer is a spiritual necessity required of every follower of christ and i repeat including your answers it's interesting how some people have answers when it comes to fasting but they are willing to fast to lose weight the same same people with ulcers when we are saying let's fast and pray we have answers in fact me when i'm hungry tears come tears flow from my eyes they're very hungry but when they have gained weight they are willing to fast to lose weight losing weight we don't fast to lose weight weight loss is a byproduct of fasting how long you can say i would have been 5 gb by now this is just fasting is the price you pay for god to interpose we will get fart in heaven provided our bmi is within range we are not worried african men say a good african woman has some weight that is trouble even you you know it real trouble you know it and you know the things you battle with is it yeah so is wait for sure that we went to the funeral and they said so and so has taken good care of his wife even when a child is not good care times is way to gain out of contraceptives among the lists of gifts like we discussed yesterday of the holy spirit there is no prayer and fasting as a gift because it's not an option it's a spiritual necessity everyone must engage in prayer and fasting the sooner you learn it the better let's do esther there's a problem and uh hammond has just plotted the destruction of the jews and mordecai sends some messages to esther to go tell her this is what haman has planned kindly god discussed this with the king but it's even the king does not know the woman he has is a jew and there's no way you get to the king unless he calls you even when you're the queen if he does not hold up the scepter you die and it's been quite a while he has not called us but listen to what happens 13 4 30 and mordecai told them to answer esther do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king's palace any more than all the other jews because you're a jewels for if you remain completely silent at this time this thing is tempting me to preach a different summon let's forget about it let us get to what we want to get for if you remain completely silent at this time relief and deliverance will arise from will arise for the jews from another place let me just touch the someone i don't want to preach if you think you don't want to rescue your household are you listening to me if you think you want to quit you don't want to rescue your household there's a phrase we use in kissing when a woman is so bitter and started chasing the husband she says let me translate it for international viewers a full grown mature man who has a national id she has no business chasing let me tell you every human being is a child of god and god works tirelessly to make sure they will enter his kingdom if you're not willing to be used of god deliverance will come from somewhere else it will it does a sudden woman left her husband because he was a drunkard she got married as a second wife the institution he was working in took him to a rehab and the guy today is sober but he cries and say if this is what drinking can do take your wife give her to another man as a second wife or war so today she's suffering with children wishing she could go back but she cannot deliverance will always come from somewhere someone is complaining don't talk about women so much this is a feminine someone relief and deliverance will arise for the jews from another place but you and your father's house will perish yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this thenesta told them to reply to mordecai i'm interested in verse 16. go gather all the jews who are present in station and fast for me do we have those people in church that are always fast and hope as you first remember me in prayer do you know that yeah as you first whisper my name first for me neither eat not drink for three days so i will go to the king which is again she had to fast to get things done perfectly prayers are important fasting is powerful she didn't need intercessory prayers alone because she says pray for me she was not satisfied with people interceding for her no she also fasted then you pass by the market and buy catfish come on go can't even buy tilapia and avoid the unclean one so we fast for you as you get fat and then you come and say pastor elizabeth is so thin and i fast for you hey hey foreign as people fast for you join them in the fast hallelujah hallelujah so that when the lord brings the victory i tell you you can stand and say i did it in the name of god yeah fasting is the only way to unclog spiritually because you feel that so that you have a full release of spiritual power i'll have to give this example there is fire and there's a 10 000 liter tank we connect two pipes same diameter one is clear clear the other one is clogged so we want to pull out the fire this one that is clear has a full release of the water the other one that is not you will struggle it can only do nothing and that is how we engage the devil in spiritual warfare we are so clogged up and the lord wants to use us as a channel but the pipe is so packed it can only release minimal power look at her and his stance watches you like this every morning at 3 am fasting increases your spiritual capacity and sensitivity allow me share very fast my time is is moving careful to fight with the devil when you have no spiritual capacity be very careful he will hit you so hard you will not attempt again be very careful when we first you become so charged so saturated with the power of god that every force of darkness must submit to the power that operates in you because it's not you is god in you you're so judged that when you stand before demons they must tremble the demons of hatred yeah you have a spouse who just hit you when they see you hatred increases there's nothing good that ever comes from you nothing nothing the demons are still it they're only hostile with you but they're so loving with you and you wonder what did i ever do the demons of drunkenness adultery name it must submit to the power of god in you someone was challenged me and said must we wait until we are killed we can save ourselves i tell you if you fight it physically i can assure you will die in that house in fact if you're not willing to go spiritual with your marital issue go back to your home you will die because you want to challenge a man who has a demon in him and you're telling him come beat me let me see if you're a man beat me come on anyone owe me kudya that's how you want to fight with your big mouse and there is a demon operating in him there is another power in him i tell you he'll beat you and i love the way you will post your face on face facebook and we will comment we will tell you oh does it have to come to this must you must you must you kill someone's daughter come and buy a simulation we will come in if you want to go physical i advise go back to your mother you will die but when you go spiritual hostility submits before the power of god regards we have not died see we are breezy it's over our hours has been okay no we are bracing yeah to make offer what will be good people who have died no we are fine because we've learned to tap into the power of god oh 12 minutes moving very fast let me say at this point that we have sexually transmitted demons i'm talking to those that love to chase women listen to me good as you look at my eyes i'm talking to you we have sexually transmitted demons that if it finds a spouse not grounded in christ you will forever be dealing with demons in your life have you seen a young girl who's grown up in church very active she's wed waited she goes the husband began begins to become promiscuous and then it's too much for her she doesn't know what to do and then you will hear her say i will also revenge like you revenge the other day backfired on you i will also revenge and she gets another man to revenge it is not revenge the man moves out and has acquired sex demons the demon of adults you come back to your wife sleep with her transmit that demon in her so she also has it so very innocent girl never tried it now has strength to say i will revenge it's not event there is a demon transmitted in her talking to my women you need to know god so that when he comes the demon cannot survive in you you are too charged but it is friends with your big mouth may talk about you what time is this international community these words are not there in english forgive me but i hope a listener translates that's what we ask what time is this where are you coming from you're not from your women we don't fight like that we don't silence his eloquence fight it with god how do you fight with someone who's not in his senses ah my time is up allow me just share one reading and we call it a day just one i keep on moving the others to the next day the bible is sweet so we'll push the rest to the next day i said fasting increases your spiritual capacity and sensitivity and i've said don't battle with the devil if you know you lack the capacity don't listen to paul i love paul acts 19 from verse 11. now god worked and used your miracles by the hands of paul and he was you're not ordinary the one you say i was walking about the buddha came almost hit me the hand of god saved me i'm not talking about that that is a miracle yes about unusual miracles so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them look at how charged paul was it was a spiritual charge and saturation that even hanukkah achieves from his word would heal people if paul spent in your house forgot his shot you are protected we need to grow to that level that was paul you are in negori paul is in kissum send your husband to kisum tell paul to give you his uncatchy come with it to me god your son is healed of demon possession it's not the handkerchief it's how saturated the power of god was with paul and then there were some stupid people that thought this thing you just call the name of the lord and it happens then some of the thinner and jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the lord jesus over those who are evil spirits saying we exercise you by the jesus whom paul preaches they are not even sure about this jesus and then the bible says also there were seven sons of siva a jewish chief priest who did so and the evil spirit answered and said jesus i know yeah and paul i know but who are you who are you who comes here naked no power nothing who are you and the he was 16 then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them overpowered them and prevailed against them so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded i hope he does not find you as an elder that you've gathered six of you to go pray for someone in the house demon possessed and demons beat you and you come out naked and wounded so people are asking when this guy's going to rape that woman no demons beat them because they lack the spiritual capacity and sensitivity when you have it you're like a spiritual rudder they know paul has come we need to go away only fasting gets you to that level nothing else allow me finish this fasting thing tomorrow because our time is up tomorrow i will conclude it even as we finish the last series on fasting tomorrow i pray you will try it try it like a baby baby steps the lord will lead you holy spirit will lead you have a moment with christ see how powerful you become when the power of god indwells you may the lord jesus bless us in his name thank you for your power availed to us your children the power that resurrected your son from the grave and has him seated at your right hand is the same power available to us we claim it in jesus name teach us not just to pray but also to fast it's our prayer in jesus holy name amen

the everlasting gospel for this is the good news of the kingdom that heaven is now reigning and there is hope for everyone who has faith in christ let your blessing rest upon us and upon all within my hearing in jesus name we pray amen our topic tonight for our encouragement is heaven reigns heaven rules and it is taken from matthew chapter 24 and verse 14 and 15. heaven reigns heaven rules one of the best things that you can ever hear in these tough times is that god is still on his throne and god is still in charge of the affairs of men on planet earth it's so enriching to know that our god has never left this world to run by itself there are those who believed in the in some days and there are still others actually they're called days they believe in creation but god the creator is like the watchmaker you know we all know that the watch if you're wearing a watch like mine this watch we all concede that it was made by somebody but the owner of the watch is no longer controlling the watch is no longer having it it's in my hands right now the people who believe around the world intelligent people they believe that yes god created the world but since then he has left the world he is not in charge anymore you and i are in charge i'm here tonight to let you know that heaven is still in charge god is still in the affairs of men he's in charge and much more than that god is in charge of your life there is good news for you and me and matthew chapter 24 verse 14 says and this gospel this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations and then the end will come this good news about the kingdom of god what it means is that this good news about the reign of god shall be proclaimed as a witness to all people and then the end will come now when the holy spirit said no when jesus said that he added verse 15 which says therefore when you see the abomination of desolation spoken all by daniel the prophet standing in the holy place whoever reads let him understand now you need to remember that the immediate context of matthew chapter 24 is the question which the disciples asked jesus how shall we know about the end of time what will happen he had told them that the building the temple in jerusalem he had said that there will be no stone left upon another it shall all come down so they are asking when will this happen to jerusalem when will these stones fall and then jesus began to give them uh the answer about the when jerusalem will be will be destroyed but he went beyond that to give them not only about the end of jerusalem but also the end of the world so in matthew chapter 24 we are reading the events leading to the end of the world you see beloved god does not want anybody to perish god is not willing that you and i should perish therefore god is not hiding information from us god is revealing enough information for any intelligent being to know where we are in history so that the coming of christ does not take you by surprise he did not give us a day or a date when christ will come if you want to know that somebody is a false prophet if he or she starts putting dates beyond what god has already given that person is a false prophet there are no more dead since the big days that god gave us in the book of daniel about the 2300 days about the cleansing of the sanctuary beyond that the bible is not giving us dates about the coming of christ we don't know the day we don't know the hour those are the words of jesus christ but he has given us enough information to help us know that the time is near and so one of the things that he referred to is the book of daniel and jesus is saying that when you are reading the book of daniel you need to understand and therefore as a preacher of the everlasting gospel i will not end my presentation without taking taking you to the book of daniel and show you some of the evidence that god is actually in charge of human history the word of the lord says in proverbs chapter 30 verse 5 and 6 the word of the lord says that our proverbs of chapter 30 and verse of 5 and 6 says every word of god is pure every word of god is pure god is a shield to those who put their trust in him do not add to his words lest he rebukes you and you be found a liar the key thing here is that every word of god all the words that have come from the mouth of god is pure is true you cannot add you should not add to the word of god you should not take away from the word of god if god has said it beloved that is sufficient you take it or you leave it but don't change the word of god it is pure another psalm psalms 119 verse 160 says the entirety of your word is truth and every one of your righteous judgment endures forever another one psalm 119 verse 105 says your word is a lump to my feet and a light to my path another psalm 119 verse 89 says forever o lord your word is settled in heaven another one says psalms 119 verse 11 your word i have hidden in my heart that i might not sin against you i'm talking to you about the word of god this word of god i want to give you evidence from the very word of god that you can hang your hope on in tough times i want you to know that what the bible is recording here is true john 17 17 says sanctify them by your truth your word is truth you want the truth here it is you want something enduring here it is you want something dependable here it is it is the word of the living god your word is truth jesus said to him i am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me john 14 verse 6. the word is truth so jesus says i'm the truth the bible says the word is truth connect the two words from jesus and you'll find that you cannot separate jesus and his word you will not be able to do so because the bible says in john chapter 1 you can read it that in the beginning was the word the word was with god and the word was god verse 14 says the word became flesh and dwelt amongst us and so it is important that we follow what the word of god is telling us the entirety of his word is truth and the bible tells us that his word is dependable the bible says it's not my word like a fire says the lord and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces god says if you have my word speak my word there are people who are not speaking the word of god and yet they're claiming to be speaking for god if anyone is speaking for god you must speak what god has said god cares about his word beloved because as we started we said that the word of god is exalted he has exalted his word above all his name we are on planet earth today is suffering in many different ways because humanity doubted the word of god the everlasting gospel is calling us back to repent turn around and believe the word of god it's all about the word of god beloved if you do not believe the word of god there is no god in you i want to repeat that you cannot claim to be a worship of god but rejecting the word of the living god you must have a relationship with god through his word you must trust the word of god you cannot claim to be walking with jesus and yet you are doubting his word you cannot claim to be having a relationship with jesus and yet you are doubting the very words of christ we are told in hebrews 4 12 that the word of god is living and powerful sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the division of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow and it's a dishonor of false and intense over the heart that's how powerful the word of god is in isaiah chapter 46 verse 9 and 10 the lord himself is speaking and he's saying i am god and there is no other i am god and there is none like me i make known the end from the beginning from ancient times what is still to come this is a powerful claim god is saying that there is none like me god is saying that i make known the end from the beginning god is saying that from ancient times what is still to come he is saying that i am the beginning i am the end god holds the future and the past in the present time god dwells in the eternal presence and in him there is both past and future so the things that have gone and the things that are coming with god he is there all at the same time and the book of daniel was written partially to show us that god is judged that's the meaning of the word danielle god is judged but god reveals himself here as one who is in charge and i think in this last tough times you need to know that god is in charge many people are wondering where is god i want you to know god is in charge of the universe and of planet earth the children of israel where daniel is right now they are in captivity in babylon they they've been disobeying god and god has sent them out for 70 years on a disciplinary measure 70 years and at this time nebuchadnezzar is thinking that is actually in charge of the people of israel who have come to babylon because he got them by his power but god says that it's not by your power that they're here it is by my power you have locked my temple you have brought the vessels for my glory and you have brought them and kept them here in babylon but i want you to know nebuchadnezzar that i'm still in charge i'm in charge of you and so we read the story from daniel chapter 2 and the bible tells us that now in the second year of nebuchadnezzar's reign nebuchadnezzar's reign nebuchadnezzar had dreams and his spirit was so troubled that his left sleep left him says the bible he could not sleep anymore then the king gave the command to call the magicians the astrologers the sorcerers and the chaldeans to tell the king his dreams so they came and stood before the king and then the bible says and the king said to them i have had a dream and my spirit is anxious to know the dream then the chaldean spoke to the king in aramaic or king live forever tell your servants what the dream was the dream and we will give the interpretation of it the king answered and said to the charities my decision is spam if you do not make known the dream to me and its interpretations you shall be cut in pieces and your houses shall be made as an ash heap that was tough have you ever heard anything like that these guys were feasting in the king's house they were known as the wise men in pavlon and now here they are god has stepped in and i want you to know even before we go deeper into our study today that when god of the universe steps into your life things change he cannot walk in your life and you remain the same when god comes into a situation everything changes for these magicians life has been as normal you tell me the dream and they give you the interpretation and since you are stupid you don't know what the interpretation is whatever they tell you that is the answer and they'll go on leaving their professors of of of dreams and and interpretations of dreams some are three phds in interpretations of dreams they now met their march the king of the universe stepped and now he said things must change beloved i want you to know that when god steps into a situation things radically change and this guy says that oh this has never been asked of anyone before nobody has ever asked this of any man and so he declared that they must be put today but then the chaldeans answered the king and said there is not a man on earth who can tell the king's matter therefore no no no king lord or ruler has ever had such a thing of any magicians astrologer or the childings this question has never been asked no magicians no sorceress no astrologers has ever been asked something like that so why are you asking us this strange thing and so the king said you guys are wasting my time execute them destroy all of them i want to know my dream you either tell me my dream or you all die and so the command went that they should be executed and we are told at this time what came to daniel by aryok uh the the the commander and we are told that daniel begged him give me just time give me time tell the king to wait a little i know a god who is able and they went and prayed to their god and then the bible says in verse 19 then the secret was revealed to daniel in a night vision beloved we serve a god who knows the secrets of men we have a god whom when things are tough you can go to god and he will reveal the secrets make know that when times are tough and you don't know the end from the beginning you don't know the beginning you don't know the middle you don't know where you are heading to prayer still makes a difference daniel knew that you can contact through prayer and when you kneel down to pray there is as my friend one of my friends says that you people who think that the bluetooth was invest invented yesterday it has always been there prayer is like a bluetooth that connects heaven and earth and he says that when he prayed when daniel prayed god using bluetooth downloaded all the information that he had passed on to to talk to to to nebuchadnezzar he downloaded the whole thing into the mind of king nebuchadnezzar to the mind of daniel and daniel knew exactly what king nebuchadnezzar had dreamt at this time i want you to see the response of daniel when god downloaded the information into his mind he said in verse 20 daniel answered and said blessed be the name of god forever and ever for wisdom and might are his take note of that wisdom and might are his secondly the bible says and he changes the times and the seasons beloved the times and the seasons are not in our hands they're not just coming and going god is in control he's changing times and seasons he removes kings and raises up kings he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding he reveals deep and secret things he knows what is in the darkness and light dwells with him this is how we praise god praising god is turning to god and talking about his greatness light is in light belongs to him there's nothing in the darkness that god does not know beloved there is nothing that can be hidden from our god hallelujah somebody our god knows he says i thank you and praise you oh god oh my fathers you have given me wisdom and might and have known out and out and have now made known to me what we asked of you for you have made known to us the king's demands and so he came to the the to the king daniel was brought into the presence of the king and he told the king in verse 28 that start from verse 27 daniel answered in the presence of the king and said the secret which the king has demanded the wise men the astrologers the magicians and the soothsayers cannot declare to him but take note of that but there is a god in heaven who reveals secrets and he has made known to king nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days your dream your dream and the visions of your head upon your bed were this and now we go let's go into the dream and the interpretation he walks him through the dream and he says you are lying on your bed or king and while you were there you saw this structure this image whose head was like whose head was gold and who had a breast of silver and it had a thighs of brass and it had legs of iron and down at the feet it was iron mixed with clay i mean verse 34 your white wireless stone was cut out without hands which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay and broke them in pieces and as she was speaking the king kept on nodding yes yes yes yes what you are telling me is true and now comes the interpretation verse 38 you are the head of gold or king what you dreamt is god giving you the future of the nations god's showing you how the world will end you are this head of gold and indeed babylon was a head of gold to death there's never been a kingdom as powerful as the babylonian empire it was an empire that had gardens hanging gardens on the cities it was surrounded by a river the defense system on the walls was so powerful that nobody could invade and conquer this city it says you are the head of gold and indeed he was the head of gold because history tells us today we are in history beloved and history if history was boring to you bear with me because this is the most interesting history of all histories i never loved history when i was in school until i came to the bible and found the meaning of history that god is behind history then i developed an interest in history we are told from history that the head of gold babylon lasted from the year 605 to 539 bc and just like the word of god said it came to end and after that came another kingdom and the bible said that this was like brush and after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours just like brush is inferior to gold okay but after you shall rise another kingdom inferior to us this was the one represented by silva and this kingdom we are told was the medio persian kingdom nobody ever thought that the babylonian empire could come to an end it was so powerful but beloved when god has prophesied something counts on the word of god there came a time beloved when the grandchild of nebuchadnezzar was in power and this young man was was was drunk with power and he thought that it was the end of everything he was the most powerful king and one night he had a party a drinking party and invited all his people people drunk and when they were drunk he asked for the the vessels for the temple of god to be brought to him so that they could have a party and beloved we are told that when they were having a party and he asked to drink from the vessels of the temple of god that his grandfather nebuchadnezzar had brought from from jerusalem there was a hand that started writing on the wall and the hand wrote many many and we are given the interpretation daniel 5 26 many god outnumbered thy kingdom and finished it it is over take hell thou art weighed in the balances and found one thing perish thy kingdom is divided and given to the meds and their persons and while this hand was still being read to him beloved we are told in history that that night [Music] god did something amazing that he had prophesied in the book of isaiah god had said many years ago that sirens would come he's prophesied about cyrus about a hundred and fifty and fifty years before his birth that cyrus would be the one to bring down the kingdom of the babylonians and indeed people wondered how this would happen that we are told in history that that night the cyrus and his team from the mids and the persons had come and they had diverted the water and they entered in and they found everybody drunk and the gates were ajah and that very day the babylonian empire came to an end just as god had prophesied that cyrus would bring deliverance to the people of israel that you would lose the armor of kings to open before him the double doors so that the gates will not be shut it was prophesied beloved and it did happen because the word of god is true next comes the the the next uh level after we move from the kingdom of the babylonians we come to the immediate persians and this also the bible says shall come to an end and in 500 in 539 they came on board 331 bc another kingdom came on board and this was the one of the brass and this was the time when those of you who read history know that we are talking about alexander the great this was the greek empire it was the third kingdom and then alexander came with power a young man who at 33 years of age had conquered the whole world and now had nobody else to conquer and history told us that this man who was able to conquer the whole world his kingdom only lasted from 331 to 168 bc he was conquered by the mighty alcohol he drank his life to death because he was bored he had no more kingdom to overcome the bible has said that his kingdom shall also come to end and then there would be the final one next before the final one there would be another kingdom that was terrible as strong as iron but its value was less than that one of our of of brass of of silver and of gold it was of a lower value this kingdom this was now the great and the final kingdom daniel 2 46 finally there will be a fourth kingdom strong as iron for iron breaks and smashes everything but even though strong as iron beloved the roman empire was very very weak it was weaker than the others particularly moral weakness it was a kingdom that was uh the empire was full of debauchery it was full of the things that god had condemned but it came to pass that the this empire rome also came 168 bc rome stayed and did 4th century eddie and then god had said that the image of gold of silver and the brass that might serve to represent the nations and their kings was successively broken by the iron monarchy of rome and the feet of iron and clay finally came into being he said that down there they shall be mixed up they shall not stick one to the other says that whereas you saw the feet and throws partly of potter's clay and partly of iron the kingdom shall be divided beloved this is what we are talking about they divided our european kingdoms of the alamani the burgundian the france the lombards these actions the soviet the visigoth the germans the swiss the french the italians the english the portuguese the spanish these kingdoms were prophesied that they shall come into being they shall try to unite but the bible says that as you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay they will mingle with the seed of men but they will not cling together when you read the history of rome beloved you the history of europe you'll find that these kingdoms came together many times they try to intermingle through marriage that to date they have never been able to be one again they will not adhere to one another just as iron does not mix with clay and so beloved as we look at this as we look at the history of of europe as we look at the history of nations we see that what god prophesied has come true we have had nations fighting with nations we have seen nations trying to come together we have seen even the united nations but we have seen that they are not able to come together the amazing thing that i'm talking about today is what is given to us in daniel chapter 2 and verse 24. the bible says that in the days of these kings these divided kingdoms shall the god of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed beloved that's the prophecy in the days of these kings the god of heaven shall set up a kingdom and the kingdom shall not be left to other people but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms and it shall stand forever beloved i've got good news for you that that is where we are in history daniel was told that the dream is certain and the interpretation of it is true and so beloved as we come to to the end of the age we look back to the word of god and we see that what god said has come to pass exactly as he gave it way back to daniel in those many centuries before time empires of prophecy you have seen the head of gold that was babylon we have seen the chest of silver that was the media persians we have seen the thighs of brass that was greece we have seen the lakes of iron that was wrong we have seen the feet of iron and clay the divided europe and they remain divided today beloved when nebuchadnezzar heard that he was furious fast he worshipped god but then later he changed his mind he changed his mind about god and that is when he set up that terrible terrible thing that he now said did he say that i'm only the head he said that's not gonna be he made that image now he said make that image again but make it of gold from head to toes i am going to be gold all over the babylonian empire shall never come to pass but let me tell you something the word of god is true even though he fought the word of god beloved it came to pass that babylonian empire ended it came to pass beloved that the the middle persian empire ended it came to pass beloved that the greeks empire ended it came to pass beloved that the roman empire ended and it has come to pass that the european nations have not united they have tried but you know about their breaks it keeps on breaking they cannot hold it together because the word of god is true beloved i announced you that when the bible says that this everlasting gospel shall be proclaimed unto all the world and then the end shall come i want you to believe the bible i want you to know that there is a book you can trust the history of the world has been given to us in the word of god we know where we are in history we know that what we are waiting for now beloved is that stone to come from heaven and smash this entire worldly system at the feet we have all that was in pablo all that was in greece all that was in mediopathy all that was in rome everything is now down here mingled together it is a beast-like structure that is contrary to the will of god it is a system that is contrary to the world of god we are living in a world with an economic system that is against god with a social system that is against god with a political system that is against god all the systems of the world are now down there at defeat but the bible is saying that the stone came without the hand of man and it smashed the image right at the feet beloved that is where we are that's where the world history is and we know it because jesus had come and they said the kingdom of god is now here enter ye into the kingdom of god there is a call for you and me to turn from this world which is coming to an end that stone is coming beloved and jesus said and i when i'm lifted up from the earth will draw all men to myself beloved that is the time that we are living on right now we are living at the time when we are seeing the gospel being proclaimed and people drawing unto god even right here where we are preaching many people have been baptized many will be baptized men and women and young people are turning to god and i'm calling upon you also if you have not turned to god give your life to jesus because this word is true we have seen the history fulfilled we know that the last will also be fulfilled because of what happened at calvary god made him who knew no sin to be seen for us so that in him god may make us the righteousness of god in christ jesus beloved this has taken place we are living in a world where god has visited us we are living in a world where god has called us with a holy calling we are living in a world that shall come to an end and that is the good news beloved don't worry about your situation don't worry about your tough times worry about where you will spend eternity know that god is still on the throne know that heaven is ruling in the affairs of men he said that when i'm lifted up christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a conspiracy and he says when i am lifted up i will draw all unto myself so titus 2 13 tells us looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great god and savior jesus christ beloved he is the stone that came down he is the stone that is waiting to come down and hit this system but before that happens the bible says god is not willing that you should perish god is not willing that anyone be lost the blood that jesus shared at calvary is sufficient for all of us but the word of god must be obeyed god is looking for a people who will take his word as it is believe that word stand on that word and make the word of god your life this is what is going to make you face life with courage when you are believed that this word is true and you determine in your heart to obey it no matter what this is what god is waiting for it's not willing that anyone should perish but he's calling people out of babylon calling people out of this system that is contrary to god calling people out of a system that is not willing to obey the commandments of god know that the word of god is a command and all that you and i need is turn around repent if you have been going contrary to the word of god turn around repent repent means turn around if you are facing this way then turn around and face this way turn around stop the way you have been thinking and start thinking about what god has done beloved this world is coming to an end i know it because it is prophesied here i know it because what god said will take place has taken place and many more are taking place and we know that soon and very soon once this gospel has gone around the world jesus will come i'm reminded of a story that i had long time ago of a tick that was clinging to a cow that was going to be slaughtered there are two ticks and one told the others that the way i see things this car where we are hanging on this car is going to be slaughtered i heard the owner selling it and the one who said the other one said that but there's still a lot of blood on it let us just chew a little let us suck a little more and they went and the other one said man as i listen i think we are at the butchery i hear this cow crying i think we better stop we better drop down the other one said that but the way i see it there's still a lot of blood let us just hang in and get a little bit more blood and they hung in until the cow was slaughtered unfortunately when they tested the meat they found that it was rotten it was sick and everything needed to come to an end and the little thing said to the bigger one the way i hear things i think that we are in danger let us get out of this skin we are in trouble the cow has been slaughtered let us leave the other one said that the way i look at things there is still a little blood just a little bit more and then we shall step out beloved before they stepped out the entire skin was thrown into the fire and both the ticks died in the fire beloved the way i look at things as i read the word of god as i see all kinds of calamities coming upon us as i see even coveted 19 raging the whole world one episode after the other as we see pain and suffering on the face of the earth as we see cancer increasing over and over again as we see new diseases coming in as we see corruption increasing i do not know any country in the world where there is no corruption as we see poverty increasing while there is so much wealth on the face of the earth as gandhi said there is enough for everybody but it is not enough for one greedy person i'm telling you my friend there is enough wealth on planet earth for everybody there is no child that you need to go hungry there is nobody who needs to be poor but it is not enough for one greedy person god is going to put all these things to an end there's a day coming beloved it is prophesied here when the king of the universe will say that enough is enough and he will remove his robe of priestly his robe as a priest and he will put his robe as a king and he will step out of the universe he is the stone that is coming he will hit this system he will break it in small pieces he will establish a kingdom that shall never come to an end and even now we are announcing that kingdom that it has come as the kingdom of grace but when he comes it will be the kingdom of glory god is calling you god is calling you and me this is the time to step out and let the cow alone because it has been condemned this world is condemned beloved and you have the opportunity to live now as you have seen the world history from the babylonian empire from the medio persian empire from the greece empire from the roman empire to where we are right now as these things have come to pass so shall it come to pass that one day christ shall pass the eastern sky and he shall come with his angels and he shall call upon those who died in christ arise and the dead in christ shall rise incorruptible and those who remain shall be caught up with him and together we shall be with the lord forever and ever thousand years in heaven back on

kerubo as well as sister kellyanne arun god bless you so much [Music] okay my name is brenda oyogi currently staying in kisoma i fellowship at mambolio harvester's research okay when i got married i had its expectations like any other woman i conceived after three years in marriage and was happy waiting for my newborn baby and you know the joy of a mother but she's expecting her firstborn so i carried the baby to term it passed the delivery date with two weeks then when i went to deliver the baby was already dead in the womb so when i i went through delivery room the doctors there started their job as usual but when they retrieved the time for pushing the baby they became out dead i had a still but after two years i i conceived for the second time so this one was came with a different it came with a different story my life was different i went through a lot dealing with this pregnancy when it reached delivery time it was booked for a csc for a cs government i went as usual like any other and they like any other mother expecting a newborn baby i was prepared but all of a sudden the story changed sorry the story changed a hosta can do theater the doctors surround themselves properly my husband was there to receive the baby when it raised the time for receiving the baby again i delivered the child came out alive but after some minutes he was gone during that session i was left with all that pain i was left nothing i wanted i was left hopeless i had no one to run to my husband was there for me but you could also not hold it we needed someone at least to come closer and embrace us as a family so after some hours i was taken back to the woods afterwards the wound started bleeding the flesh wound was bleeding and over bleeding each and every hour i lost a lot of blood and was referred back to the theater to check where the problem was i was apparently for the second time so this second time they also forgot some cotton in their home so they had to remove it then they had to do the correction that was supposed to be done and at that time also i had no child to at least embrace and see why i'm going through through the pain after all that i had to say and stay in the hospital messing around without her baby for almost five good months i lost all the blood and was to be given some bottles of blood for survival so that's why i took all that long in the hospital when i considered the third time i was more closer to god than before expecting that one day i will receive a blessing like any other woman i already i was ready with the name to give my unborn baby that i was not that sure that i will hold the baby in my hands you know in my arms so when it's just when i teach delivery time i went to the hospital then the hospital decided to arrange a theater the theater for me to go for c-session so when i reached there i was unconscious by then but after some minutes of delivery i was lucky to be trolling or blessed with a baby girl and during that moment i gave my name the baby i gave my baby the name blessing meaning in in lewis its meaning in louise with and the full name of my child is heaven's blessing she is a blessing from above that's why i gave her that name as that now i'm uh i'm a happy mother my family is happy when you see my daughter playing around when she we see her going to school when we see her playing when we see her singing in the church and singing at home we are happy and we thank god that at least at the end of it all we they all all hope is not gone at least we are blessed so this is to the mothers was expecting children or expecting babies it's not the end of the world god is still there for you god is there to listen to you wherever you feel like you are down face god go on your knees i used to pray even in the bathroom i used to pray in the toilet whatever that i felt like facing god i would kneel down wherever i am i would kneel down whatever it is in the market whatever it is in the toilet or where i could face god and ask god why me it reached a time when i go to church people never wanted me to hold their babies i used i used to love babies so when i went to church when i went to places where people have kids they never wanted me to hold their kids they saw me as a taboo because i had lost mine in a span of four years i was childless being that i carried pregnancy like any other woman but i had no baby of my own so it was like a taboo to them so i went on the first to go down and ask him questions i used to pray and i prayed and after a span of three years god blessed me with the baby girl i still continue thanking god i never stopped from where i delivered my baby and as that now as a family we are blessed for the second time and was expecting baby number two in the family all hope is not lost dear friends dear mothers dear families who are outside there have lost hope turn back to god and each and every time of your life never abandon god he is still god and he's still sitting on that throne waiting for your problems remember the song burdens are lifted at calvary it's very important whenever you have a problem first the almighty god all hope is never lost [Music] so [Music] you
