the bread of life hello viewers my name is ashley nicole from rubycraft adventist primary school i want to welcome you to this worship today our topic is overcoming jesus overcame before we start i'll request you to bow your heads as we pray our kind and everlasting father live above in heaven we thank you for this wonderful day that you've given unto us we thank you for the protection us now want to start our summon may you be with us until we finish and it is my humble prayer trusting and believing in jesus name amen our category comes from the book of john chapter 3 verse 16 which says for god so loved the world that he gave us his one and only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life because of the love that jesus had for each and every one of us he had to risk his life so that we may live he overcame sin and death and fulfill the law of love let us turn to the book of matthew chapter 26 verse 36 to 46 [Applause] here we find that jesus and some of his disciples went to get some money on reaching there jesus saw the disciples to wait for him as he went a little further and prayed when he came back he found them sleeping then he told peter peter watch and pray so that you may not fall into temptation as it is recorded in in the book of matthew chapter 26 verse 40 and it says then he returned to the three disciples and found them asleep and he said to peter how is it that you are that you three were not able to keep watch with me even for one hour keep watch and pray that you will not fall into temptation the spirit is willing but their flesh is weak he went even that he went for the second time when you read along you find that he went for the second time and prayed when he came back he found the disciples sleeping he went back again and prayed when he came back he was deceived in verse 42 it says once more jesus went away and prayed my father if this cup is is if this cup of suffering can be taken away unless i drink it you you your will be done he returned once more and found the disciples asleep then they could keep they could not keep their eyes open again jesus left them went away and prayed the third time saying they saying the same words then he returned to the disciples and said are you still sleeping and resting look the hour has come for the son of man to be handed over to the power of the sinners get up let us go look here is the man who is betraying me jesus loved us so much when he was betrayed he did not refuse he just agreed to go we as christians we should always be happy how we should love one another so that you may fulfill god's love in the book of in the book of john chapter 15 verse verse 13 which says the greatest love a person can give to a person that can give to his friend is to give his life for them dear brothers and sisters can you give your life to jesus can you give your life to another person we find that jesus did this jesus showed his life by giving us his life he died for us so that you can go back to god we can be righteous again may we always have faith in god that he can do everything we shall always have him in our minds and whenever we do everything anything may you please put god first and whatever you are doing god will surely help you have faith in god and you will always be your you will always be your director and your leader may god be with you throughout this year and this pandemic forever and ever let us bow as we pray our kind and everlasting father we thank you for the wonderful sermon you've given unto us may two or three people be changed from it and may your will be seen in jesus name i pray amen bye bye bye thank you so much nicole for that wonderful bread of life oh i can see where love and the lord kissed each other on the cross jesus carried our burden as nicole was speaking i could see jesus in my inner eyes bowing down to pray in the garden of gethsemane and then walking through to calvary just to save you and me and he says he overcame it was not easy for him he did just go and say oh yes now i'll carry the burden now i'll make it no he cried that the cup may pass away from him because he was human he had no strength and at one point he said the the flesh the heart the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak because he was a human being he wanted to do everything according to his will but he was no table and then he prayed and said not my will but thine be done his will was that the cup may pass but god's will is that the cup he bears the cup it's sometimes painful to obey yes thank you nicole for that wonderful summon and may god bless you thank you now we are going to have a very exciting activity we want to see the heart of jesus the love that was kissed on the cross oh he gave us all now we are going to do an activity we are going to do some crafts we are going to see to make the cross and then we make the hat the heart stands for the great love that jesus has for us and the cross stands for the love of salvation though it was it was to be the cross means that something has to be born he had to bear our iniquity it was painful but because of the great love he had to die that's why he says because for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life and therefore welcome and be with us and if you can you can make yours at home caribou we are going to have the cross and the hats the cross also stands for self-denial jesus at one point said that whoever wants to cut to follow me must bear his cloak cross and follow me let me give you this one it's easier to do it now we are going to take our papers you can draw something like this and then we start cutting and as we cut we remind ourselves that god loved the world whatever brought jesus on earth is love sometimes i keep asking myself why did it cost you so much dear jesus why did you have to love us this much and we have nothing to offer you oh lord you are so good i love your love for me do you love god's love for you oh yes and if you love him he says if you love me keep my commandments yes and therefore as we keep god's commandments we have to bear the cross we have to deny ourselves of the pleasures of this world of the things that you think are good to you the cross stands for self-denial [Applause] anyway what have we to deny ourselves if jesus denied himself all the pleasures as god he left all the beauties of heaven to come and die on the cross for you what is special about me dear jesus that you should have come to die for me that you you bought the cross for me you carried the shame that was mine i'm the one who was deserving to die because i'm a sinner and by nature indeed i am but dear jesus you left all heaven to come and die for a sinful person like me what a great love now are you through with cutting the lamp yes we are going to cut something across in the middle of the heart where we're gonna fix the cross it is because of love that jesus had to die thank you so much now we i hope everybody has finished cutting have you we are going to fix our cross in our heart and this one reminds us that jesus so loved the world that he gave his all and his old was his life and his life was love that is the best that god could give our jesus is so loving dear viewer back at home jesus loves you so so much if there is anything else that he could give then he could he gave his best can you give your best i choose to give my heart to him do you i hope you'll give your heart to him and follow him and he says if you love me keep my commandments you'll always do the things that he wants you to do therefore as you make it at home i hope you will try to do it remind yourself that god is love and jesus gave all the best for you now welcome again to another segment very exciting segment the story time do you love stories yes i do too today we are going to have a very exciting bible story and you know jesus is telling us today our theme today is jesus overcame jesus overcame today we are going to see of someone who has tried but he also overcame and we can also overcome now abraham had grown old you can imagine at this time he's a hundred and twenty years is that a young man even at his time he was still to be called an old man yes he had everything he needed he was a he was a rich man and he was known to be the most prominent man in that area but as you know at his old age god gave him a son but even before that son god had he had he had doubted god as a human being and he had another son at this time god had told him to send away the other son do you know the name of the other son what was his name ishmael yes so ishmael had gone away and so abraham had remained with only son isaac but now one day god visited him and told him isaac as abraham you're going to sacrifice your only son that you love abraham could not believe it and at some point the devil visited him too and he tried to show doubts how can you believe god can god tell you to kill but he's the one who says thou shalt not kill don't don't obey that one that one no that one don't obey and abraham had a hard time believing that god had spoken to him in the night he woke up when everybody was asleep and he went outside he tried to listen to god's voice and he prayed and prayed and prayed and he wanted god to tell him not to sacrifice his only son but the word remained and he could hear the voice of god telling him abraham you have to sacrifice your son your only son isaac that you love it was so hard on abraham this time he had no strength he was stricken with old age and he has no power to for that strong temptation he he couldn't sleep he went to where isaac was sleeping and he loved isaac so so much he saw the beauty of his face he admired him in the vigor of his youth he was sound asleep and thought surely should i kill you my son and he went to the tent where his wife sarah was asleep and he thought should i disclose this to my wife it was too hard on him but he decided not to and then he went back to pray the whole night he didn't sleep then in the morning he told two of his faithful servants and isaac that they they should go to the mountain to worship and so they prepared the wood they prepared everything and the fire and up they went to the mountain as they were walking the journey was too long he tried to walk but his feet were so hard and he moved slowly isaac was very vigilant and you know isaac was daddy's body is there anybody here is that his body wow abraham and every nice thing belonged to isaac and you know even clothes do you think isaac lacked nice clothes no he used to wear nice clothes and everybody loved to see isaac because and to be associated with him because he was always smart and one thing with isaac he shared the god of his father abraham so together they could worship together and whenever abraham wanted to give sacrifice or to do anything religious isaac was part of the story it was part of the worship was part of what abraham did so this time round isaac prepared himself and off they went to the mountain they spent a whole day and they could not reach mount moriah and so he they thought it's wise to sleep they made their tents and they went to sleep that's it at night still abraham was doubting should really god tell me to to take my child and to giving to giving him up as a sacrifice is that god then when the rest was sleeping abraham went out to pray he prayed and prayed and waited to hear the voice of god telling him please don't sacrifice your son but still the voice was very clear to him that he had to sacrifice isaac his only son the whole night abraham didn't sleep remember this is the second night have you stayed a day without sleeping can you do you think it is easy no no it is not easy and you know that is what happened to jesus when he was taken when he went after he left the mount of olive he didn't sleep the whole day the whole night he was tortured the following day he is going to calvary to be killed he was so tired when you don't sleep you feel so tired so abraham was very tired and weak and so in the morning he woke up and everybody woke up they all ate but abram could not and then he told the son son we are going to worship and we are going up on the mountain to worship now we will carry the the wood and everything under fire and then of they went and then he told those those that were with him you will remain here as i go with my son to worship then on the way isaac asked daddy daddy we have the the firewood and we have the fire but where is the sacrifice that made the father to feel like it it pierced his heart and he could not disclose it then he said why the lord will provide let's just go and then on reaching on the mount on the mountain now it was time to give the sacrifice but isaac could see there's something wrong with daddy he wished that he could bear his burden but father was not open enough to bear the burden and you know what this is the time that father disclosed isaac the lord has chosen you to be the sacrifice if it were you what could you do hey you know this is an old man if you pass between his legs and go will he rush behind you he could not but isaac did he said oh dear if this god has said so then let it be so and isaac was ready to be sacrificed and they had built the altar they were ready and then abraham was still praying and he was like should i give up my son he prepared his heart he looked at the sun they kissed the last he admired his face and said i'm going to miss you and then he took the knife and just at the time when he was to pierce him he had a voice abraham abraham don't hurt your son and immediately he was told just turn around and see and what did he say and he was happy to give a sacrifice of aram over what does this story tell us yes god is always sure obey him we shall trust in the lord trust in the lord we should never doubt his commands don't doubt him because immediately at that time god provided just his as as abraham had said and he built and when he had built that altar he called that place a new name jehovah jerry meaning the lord provides yes when we are in need viewer the lord will always provide just trust in him look at him lean on his promises he he is sure and just he he doesn't lie wherever whatever he promises comes to pass he's so faithful our good lord will always give you what you need in due season and therefore dear viewer tomorrow my dear friends don't forget to tune on tune in as time as this don't forget to bring your friends and together with my friends we say bye [Music] my name is fenedi george from migori county and i'm from migori southeast dia church i was candidate in in some months time and uh during my period of study i was succeed for my examination by around march and at around november when i woke up just early in the morning i went for my morning studies as usual and when the bell was rung i went to prepare for my morning studies and to take the courage so that i'd be well comfortable when i'd be going to the classes so i started feeling like me getting weak and being that i was not able to withstand the composure i sat down on the chair but it became severe when i let down on the floor and i was seriously vomiting when i was taken to the emergency room it was now severe that i was vomiting blood and for about 30 minutes the bed that i was laid on was just a pool of blood and my uniforms were blood bloody everywhere then some tests were ran on me the result was like there was some intestinal blockage that made me to vomit the blood so so the doctor had referred that i was to be admitted in the awards and for a period of 10 days i was getting some treatment but i could not respond to the treatment as they were expecting and we even thought that it was the issue of epiglottis that did not allow me to eat as usual it was arranged through a native doctor and the pilgrim glottis was cut when the tests were run it came out that it was peptic ulcers so at from us from that we were now treating ulcers with the name that we have found there the real disease that was affecting me i was again taken to ambar where i was also admitted for another three days when i could not respond today to the treatment anymore so we prefer that i was being taken home and received other treatments from a certain native doctor the native doctor tried as much as he could but he again surrendered that it is it was above his knowledge from that i was taken to oasis migori where the tests were run and i was taken through a variable swallow through an x-ray and there was no any any any other this is apart from the peptic ulcers so we did the medication for the ulcers the situation was still severe and from that point i was now taken at home to maya's place to receive further medication from there so from my aunt's place i was receiving treatment from different doctors until that day two women came and said that this boy is to be taken to a certain witch doctor in tanzania for the treatment when i was asked to make a decision i was asked to mention the decision either to go to the witch doctor to receive prayers from a certain man so with my suggestion i told them that i better get the prayers from the prayer from the man of that was going to pray for me but not to go to the rich the witch doctor and at every time i was strong and telling my mother that let the will of god to be done and i know that when god is with me everything shall be well and when the time of god shall come it shall always be the best and uh i was really praying and asking every person to pray for me and with the response everybody was praying for me back in the church and even the school who were with me in prayers and i really appreciated the the lord for that so with my prayers i was really praying the same prayers that jabez was praying that oh lord may you bless me big expand my territories and keep me away from evil so in class many students could mock me and i can remember when a student came to me and told me that infinity this game was not yours and now do not have the orbs of university and you just go and register to the tv immediately so i felt like crying any day that i was i could receive my performance the first test that i took i scored a deep id minus of 25 points so with the prayers and any time i could pray and cry at my own place i could find a private place and to pray so the second test with the same same prayers of jabez i i scored a c minus of 36 so i got it that god is with me and that there is nothing to fear at that point and like a sawyer in the battlefield i had nothing to lose up at the right time and i knew that that was the only chance that i i would have in in school it was my prayer that god just blessed me to pass even to for me to be able to continue with my studies at any level apart from the high school level so the last test that i started before the examination i scored a sea plane so when the time for the examination came i just prayed the same prayers so when i went to class i could not sit for long and i was to do my exams standing and uh the first papers i was to lose understanding and the others i was to do either sleeping on the desk or just sitting down so with the prayers i really struggled and at every point i did not lose up i had to read the one that i can i could read and understand i was just to pick somewhere that god even if i'm going to sit for this in the examination let me know to go empty but 12 something in hand that i can be able to to write down so when the result came i was really happy that the lord through all those that i passed through the lord gave me the strength to sit for my examination and i scored an aggregate point of 59 that made me to it was i entry grade to the university and as as for now i'm waiting for the date to join the cooperative university of nairobi to pursue a bachelor of science in applied statistics i want to ask each and every person that god is there god is living and with all these i finally crown it that god is there god is faithful and the and that god's time is the best be blessed [Music] where we're live at mcgorry central we've been bringing you so many good programs that

welcome thank you we are praying before that session let's pray our father and our lord god almighty you are god and beside you there is no other before creation you are there and you will be there until eternity father we are at this time of the end we are facing challenges of life things are happening up and down people are pressed people are oppressed people are suppressed but further we still have hope that despite all these difficulties in our families in our nations in our communities you are still our father and we are your children how we pray that father give us this hope one more time that despite all the things that are happening in the world today you are still our father and still in control thank you so much be with the speaker who will come after this prayer father bless her abundantly father make her to know you more and to make us also to know you more despite the things we are facing in this world the hope is still there jesus is still our hope this is our prayer believing and trusting in jesus name amen the lord is good happy service happy day nice to see you you are too smart and it's only friday wondering how you will be looking tomorrow we thank the lord for another opportunity to be able to feed from his word i'm excited at what the lord is doing to his children let me share testimony that i've been given from the call center it is from a daughter of gold called martha from liversia mata says i was to be on medication for life but after the teaching on prayer and fasting i decided to try it out i fasted and the next time i went for checkup the doctor told me to stop using the drugs what do you say children of god god has blessed his children with wisdom to be able to navigate through the living machinery but there is no one that understands better the living machinery than its creator and we want to thank the lord that he was able to come through for mother allow me to pray great physician there is no disease beyond your healing power you have raised the dead back to life so those that are down with diseases are not yet dead it is nothing to you you only need to speak a word and they will be healed as you walk in households this sabbath to heal your children do not pass them by that have called upon your name we glorify you from master and may this testimony only seek to glorify you and bring many people closer to you this is our humble prayer in jesus name amen yesterday we were saying that you've engaged in spiritual warfare and it looks like uh there is a delay there is never a delay allow me to tell someone that god knows no delay god knows no haste there's nothing like delay with god but to man there is a seeming i call it a seeming delay and we found out the delay could be there is warfare in the realm of the spiritual but just like daniel we must continue in devotion a violence of devotion because only the violence take the blessings of god but today i want us to grow to another level and if you can grow to this level then you have matured spiritually this is the level that says yes god will answer yes there could be a delay but this other level says what if he does not answer at all at all until he comes back will i still remain to be a child of god if we can grow to that level that life is still comfortable with the reality that god may not answer you at all and you're comfortable then your faith has truly grown john the baptist is in prison and he sends his disciples to christ say tell him i am in prison [Music] so he expects that christ will help him out of prison but christ is selling tell him out here mission is now at its peak we are healing people here the blind can now see and john had to die christ didn't come true for him like he thought men like stephen had to die stoned to death james died peter died crucified upside down in the event that he does not answer am i still a child of god is god still god because i don't want us to live this life with anxiety always looking forward to the answer i want you to live a carefree life that i'm moving forward if it comes well and good if it does not come he is still god this life you must learn to ask yourself difficult question so when you come and say pastor my husband disappeared today does not do anything the only thing he does is paying school fees he has stopped sending food he has stopped paying rent he no longer cares where what we put on the only thing he's doing is space kulfi then you need to grow to the point that says how will i behave if he also stops paying the school and there's nothing you need to get comfortable with it you must get comfortable so what we are answering today is what if god does not answer your prayer at all and allows the situation to deteriorate completely let me say this all the things we need in this life god can provide don't be quick to say amen don't be quick to say man everything that god can give the devil can give it also if it is wealth that ever gives wealth if it is children we have children concocted in the world of demons they exist today friend of mine gives a testimony that had been barren for so long until her husband contracted another marriage this woman kept on taunting her that she is as dry they say the lu yanamoto i'm unable to translate that in this tree a tree that is dry this is a testimony she gives and says i decided to visit with a witch doctor and for sure i gave birth to children not one not two not three she got six girls courtesy powers of darkness she cries and says [Music] that there is nothing the devil gives for free and everything that he gives never lasts for long she says as i speak i have buried all my daughters none of them ever got married she's married all of them so god gives children but i can tell you the counterfeit children from the devil if god can give us food the devil can give it but there's this one thing that the devil can never give it is called eternal life that one he cannot he can't and so even as people like kenneth john the baptist are dying christ seems not to come through for them they are willing to die because they know there is a life bigger and greater that is awaiting them there's life beyond this one and that is what the great controversy is all about eternal life remember when we begin about we began with the purpose of marriage we said the lord is in need of a godly osprey to repopulate heaven because there are vacancies in heaven that were left by the fall of satan and the third of the angels the lord seeks to repopulate so this life from the onset is about eternal life this is not our and that is what this battle is all about god fighting that we see eternal life the devil fighting that we don't inherit eternal life i think when you look at life like that you live a very simple life so that you stop bothering your husband with things he cannot afford i've seen women giving pressure young men there's a life they want the man cannot afford hey so so's children went to briber our children must also go there i'm not comfortable staying in this place let us move to another estate we cannot put on mutumba you must buy us new clothes the times the man has many children like mine five you walk into a boutique i have trouble when i buy their shoes i must work with over ten thousand to buy shoes for five children we have not bought clothes and i've seen young men succumb to pressure because there's a standard the wife wants so this guy will get into loans has two loans at cooperative and kenya commercial bank now he cannot take another now has gone to the circle steamer circle to take another one life is still too much for him now has gone to kcb and best there's no food for tomorrow it's now gone to i'm sure the guy now is on tala branch my mother-in-law used to say when is describing someone i wouldn't say who that someone is saying the body is full of loans you know that is what it means and our young men cannot take it before you know it a young man whose stars has just begun to shine engages in corruption to be able to sustain a home friends when you understand eternal life the things of this world don't matter if i can put decent food on the table well to do where to go if i can have decent clothing on me i'm fine i don't need extravagance there is a life coming bigger and greater praise the lord i hope we understand it that way it's my prayer allow me use job to drive this lesson home job is the wealthiest in his time and if god has to look for righteous men and women that fear him he is proud to say there is one man called joe today i understand job didn't suffer because there's something he did no job suffered because god was proud of him that you can actually suffer because god is proud of you because have you seen my servant job one two three four about him and the devil says now it's because you have done one two three to himself go try that i have to suffer because god has a good opinion about me and after the discussion they had in the realm of the spirit job loses his wealth job loses his status because wealth comes with status job loses his health he loses his family i'm yet to see someone who will lose what job lost in one day i'm yet to see he loses his marriage and his wife kept on coming back to check on him not because he she cared no it is because a woman is bound by law to her husband for as long as he lives once he dies she's at liberty to get married to whoever she wants so she's coming to check if she's dead he's dead senior minor fighter yeah there's a guy at the count that wants to take she has to keep on checking if job has died so she comes and say why don't you just abuse this your god so that you can die the devil takes away everything including his marriage and family but there is one thing job understands that you can take away everything from him but leave him one thing his relationship with god praise the lord say this one this one even if you tell me what this is the only thing i'm holding on to because when you have god you have everything praise the lord [Music] so when the devil thought he had taken everything from job job understood that god meant everything to him he's not interested in any other thing i will still cling on to god take everything but leave me god because that is my foundation it goes i'm gone all the things we go through in family and marriage i wouldn't lie to you they're just side shows i call them side shoes to distract you from the main agenda the agenda is about eternal life every other thing is to pull your focus from there it is meant to make you question the power of god and many of us have questioned the power of god it is meant to make you question the presence of god and many of us where is god it is meant to question his love many of us have questioned and have quit and have shifted from serving god to serving the devil because there's something the devil can give you could be going through a tough time they will mock you people will question your relationship with god i don't remember how many times people told me she's preaching family life but she has issues in her marriage and i never asked god that question i believe you'll make me preach something i didn't want to preach this is the verse that took care of me when everybody else was mocking me and my marriage listen to second corinthians chapter one i'll pick it from verse three blessed be the god and father of our lord jesus christ the father of masses the god of all comfort who confronts us in all our tribulation that we may be able to convert those who are in any tribulation with the comfort with which we ourselves were comforted by god listen that the god we serve will break my life that he may comfort me with the same comfort i am able to confront another person that is going through tribulation praise the lord i must be broken down to understand you i must be broken down to have compassion for you and i'm asking why can't you just comfort them like you comforted me then you realize god is dealing with people who might not be believing in his existence people who want to see man with skin on they will mock you one time someone abused me terribly about my marriage i think i'd grown to a level i cared no more and i just smiled and i said what if victory comes what will she say the lord says fear not because i am your shield and the exceeding great reward job has seen it all but what informs job what inspires him to keep moving is that there is a life bigger and greater than this life so in chapter 13 listen to what it says in verse 15 let me pick it from verse 13. you almost seen it all he does not care whether god answers or does not anymore and in verse 13 he says hold your peace with me i wish someone gave me a lure bible here [Applause] that is what job is saying hold your peace i mean i'm tired with the things you're telling me keep quiet allow me speak now you have said so many things about me you have said how my wealth disappeared because it was from illuminati my children died all at once because i served the devil you have saved so many things now keep quiet ninja i wish i could say that in life in french i tell you hold your peace with me and let me speak then let come on me what me listen that is the point job has reached with his faith he say i don't care anymore what happens whatever comes let it come [Music] let it come i'm so grounded in the lord that i don't care anymore what you do bring it home bring it on what haven't you taken you've taken everything but i'm remaining with this one thing my god say let what come on me what may why do i take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in my hands is saying this is not about me [Music] why should i get worried about tomorrow it's not about me it's about god and then he says though he slay me yet will i trust him praise the lord it doesn't matter what happens i will still trust my god even when the situation grows from bad to worse from one's to worst job is saying i will still trust my god and then i'm interested in knowing where he finds that strength so until you get to chapter 19 let me pick it from verse 25. now from verse 23 listen to what him informs his stance he says this oh that my words were written oh that they were inscribed in a book that they were engraved on a rock with an iron pen and led forever for i know sephora i know that my redeemer lives many days they ask me liz how do you survive and i tell them you don't worry if you hear on national tv headlines they call it what you some people breaking news if you hear breaking news on national tv that the almighty god is dead ask me how i survive ask me how i survive provided he still lives i don't survive i live so job says i know that my redeemer is and listen to the next statement and he shall stand at last on us the war is on raging so badly but i know in the end ultimate victory lies with my god he shall stand at earth that is not good english he shall stand at last on us and when he stands listen to what he says and after my skin is destroyed this i know oh yes i'm sick i'm rotting my skin is pulling out you can only see bones but he says and after my skin is destroyed this much i know that in my flesh i shall see god job is not interested in the things of this world saying this one can go but i know in the end god will be victorious and when he's victorious i shall see him in my flesh praise the lord then it says whom i shall see for myself no one is seeing for me i will see this god for myself and my eyes shall behold and not another all my heart youngs within me if god never came through for you will you still trust him and what informs your decision to trust him we are saying there's a life bigger and better eternal life things can happen get out of control but i know my redeemer lives and at last he shall stand on earth in my flesh i shall see god i told you the other day we be patient until when it's not until two years not three not for if god grants you a hundred not even 200 we shall be patient until we see him come in the cloud of the sky heavenly father we glorify your name this evening how we pray that we learn to look beyond this life we were not made for this life there's eternal life awaiting us things may seem to get out of hand we will not freak we will not panic we will not run here and there to and fro because we know our redeemer lives there's a life bigger and better to come if things be taken away from us may you not be taken away from us for you are our only hope we have no other may your children grow their faith to the point that they are comfortable with the fact that you might not answer their prayers the three hebrew boys are saying yes he's able to save us our god will but if not they are not yielding to that temptation because they know there is a kingdom to come that will last forever may you will be done this day because this we have asked in jesus holy name amen [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] so foreign [Music] is [Music] yes [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign me [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] okay [Music] [Music] okay [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign foreign me [Music] i'm here for [Music] um [Music] is [Music] foreign [Music]

youth is a professional with broad working experience in media print media broadcasting pastoral ministry wherever you are we are asking you to offer a silent prayer for the man of god that as he will be ministering here the spirit of god may take captive of his mind all the faculties of his body plus his speech we are going to pray father in heaven we thank you very much for the wonderful opportunity your servant who is a sinner saved by grace is soon to speak we pray that lord you may shower him with your holy spirit speak through him and by him and may your children be blessed if there be any child of yours who is not able to view and watch whatever is taking place do a miracle that he or may or he or she may get the message that is going to be preached here may you be blessed all our means be blessed and most of the minister who's going to speak in jesus name we pray amen god is good and all the time i'm too glad that we are on friday night again whether your work was done finished or not finished it is sabbath you are rejoicing in the lord hallelujah i'm excited you know if you've been working so hard and friday comes and sun sets and the lord says stop and rest you'd stop and rest and so tonight you're gonna have fun in the presence of the lord i said fine if you end we are going to rejoice in the presence of the lord because our god is a rejoicing god every time our soul is converted god rejoices heaven is full of joy angels are praising him and even in our tough times we praise the lord but before we go into that let us rejoice with the people whom god has blessed we have been praying for people for the last two weeks god has done miracles and we can tell you that the hand of the lord has been on on us he has used us and has brought his people to know him uh sorry i came with my phone here i better put it off so that it doesn't mess me up okay we are rejoicing with emily emily is thanking god for the son's marriage who are not in good terms but after prayers they are now making things right sister elizabeth you ought to rejoice there's a couple that is making things right because our people have been praying for them you know the devil is against two things that god gave us as a blessing it's against marriages because nothing makes you like god more than being a husband a husband makes you like god because god is love and if you are a husband you are commanded to love god is humble nothing will make you humble like being a husband you know some men think that they know more than their wives some men try to fight with their wives when you reach 50 my friend you will discover that that woman is ten times better than you there is a man who told me that he used to look for money when he was giving money out you turn his back count the checks turn around and give the wife some he reached 50 and he was telling me i don't even know what to do with money now and she's telling me i don't know when things change that she's now the boss i ask her for everything so you were still in ali marriages learn that that god gave you someone so special that the sooner you discover that she is the person who can use both their left and the side and the right side of the brains you'll be a rejoicing person and so when a couple comes together that was breaking up but they're now together emily we are rejoicing with you you know another friend of mine from nigeria told me that if you want to have peace with your wife and you are driving and she tells you are you seeing that dog over there you don't say i have eyes that's for those who are newly married i have eyes or do you want to drive no when when you are a wise man if she says do you see that dog you say yes mom hello somebody are you seeing that pothole you only look and say yes mom i'm seeing the pothole and when you learn to do that you'll have a very very happy home so we are just rejoicing with emily there's a lot more though but we are praying with these three others talkers from likoni we are praying for your daughter who is restless rest less rest less docus god provided rest for human restlessness that rest is in christ the lord of the sabbath the sabbath is rest for our human restlessness so doctors i want to invite you to enjoy the sabbath and invite your daughter to rest tonight you're going to pray for her phil from eldorade pray for me and my husband we are in need of a job may the lord grant you a job you and your husband fail god is able never give up chelangut from bongoma praying for my husband that he may join me in the adventist faith telling god that prayer will be answered sooner than you think you are when when our wife prays for the husband to join her in the faith uh if he's watching challenge salvation for your husband for your children that prayer will be answered god is just waiting for people to pray because he will not convert people by force but rightfully somebody prayed for him somebody prayed for her therefore i'm gonna save i'm gonna answer prayer because i'm a god who answers prayer so please challenge your prayers will be answered and the the man will join you i know it my mother prayed for my father and my father was converted and became an adventist because she was also living the life she was living the life my mom was born on those years where men expressed their love by beating their wife it's called wife abuse today but if you go back 50 years ago it was a very common practice because men as you know have got few words and they tell us that women have 10 000 more words than the men and so when the man has ran out of words it becomes physical because he has got more muscles than the lady those days are gone young men just learn how to talk to them but my daddy confessed that he never slapped my mother not even once because she was a very brilliant lady who knew how to live and pray for her husband who got converted and died as a christian a seventh-day adventist for that matter so challengethat we are going to pray with you and for many others who are longing for their husbands to join them in the faith let us now pray lord we are thanking you for emily emily whose sons marriage is being restored you gave man marriage and you gave man the sabbath and the devil is fighting you put it in the command particular manner the devil is fighting these two institutions but father we thank you because you are restoring them you are restoring the sabbath to all christians who love you of every denomination lord they are coming out they are realizing that you blessed the sabbath and what god blesses remains blessed what you are blessed is blessed forever and so thousands are today coming out as your voice goes out come out of how my people they are coming out lord we are rejoicing because they are discovering what you have done likewise many people are discovering that marriage is not complete until god is in the marriage and many people are turning to you and their marriages are getting healed because they are brought in the author of marriages of marriage the only one who can repair a marriage the only one who can restore a dysfunctional home many are discovering that marriage without christ is not complete because you are the author of marriage and so we are blessing your name with this family that is coming together father we bless your name and we are lifting up talkers before you lord this daughter is restless how we pray lord that you look into this restlessness and find out further if it is because of some disease in our life we are asking you for healing if it is some psychological problem we are asking you for restoration so lord visit with a family of doctors and bring rest to our restlessness we are also lifting our field from eldorade who needs a job and the husband also needs a job you're the one who said we work for six days and then we rest on the sabbath find for them a job in your own wisdom that this family may not beg but that they may have something to do with their hands for your glory we are also lifting up chelangut from bungoma who is praying for her husband she wants to come to church together with our husband and sit together and worship you what a blessed desire that this family has therefore father we are praying may your spirit visit with them may the holy spirit bring a conviction and when they turn together also pray lord that you make emily you make chilling that father so loving so humble that the husband will not resist going to church with her so fill her with your holy spirit and with joy and with love and with humility and with everything she needs to be able to be desired by her husband that he will not rest she will he will not want to be anywhere without her and follow her to church that the entire family be saved into your kingdom thank you so much lord for listening to our prayers and thank you lord for answering our prayers and for those who are being prayed for in our prayer chamber today may your grace o lord overflow this sabbath day let your grace overflow and bring blessing in the lives of all who need you and have presented their prayers before you because father this is what we ask in jesus name amen there is nothing sweeter than talking to god did you hear me i said there is nothing sweeter than talking to god destined to fly let us pray now lord as we turn to the word and bless us in jesus name amen the point i want you to remember in the message that the lord has given me for today is that your identity defines your destiny your identity defines your destiny knowing your identity gives you confidence about your destiny knowing your destiny gives you hope to face tough times remember our theme has been facing life in tough times and today as we summarize i'm telling you that knowing your identity gives you confidence about your destiny and knowing your destiny gives you hope to face tough times and the bible says that hope does not disappoint us because the love of god has been poured in our hearts through the holy spirit whom christ has given and to us born among the chicken this little iglet was so frustrated about its life you see a farmer had picked the egg of an ego and put it among the chick among the eggs of the hen and they were hatched together and so this little eaglet was born among the chicken and his life was so frustrated every time it came around to mother chicken the little egglet would say mommy why am i so different why do i feel like eating some of these my sisters when i look at them they look to me like food what's wrong with me mommy and the mother will say you are crazy we are chicken we feed on mess we are vegetarians and the little chick iglet would look at itself and say mommy why is my big so hooked and everybody else has a straight beat what's wrong with me mommy and mother would just look and say that's the way you are born you are okay stop asking questions and it would walk around in the home as they walk around with other the the the chickens that were there and and then it will stop and say but mom why am i waiting so long and you say you're asking too many questions those are your ways that's the way you are made stop asking questions go on pecking on the floor and the little egglet growing among the the chickens was so dissatisfied so frustrated it even thought of suicide because they didn't see the meaning of life so different until one day beloved there was a noise in the sky the noise that was so shrill so threatening that the mother chicken and all the chicks rained they chickened out and they dashed to hide except this little eaglet that was there on the ground that noise that came from above sounded so sweet to its ears and it looked up and saw the mother eagle coming down flying in mid-air until it rested and asked what are you doing here baby you don't belong here you are an eagle you don't belong here and you say it's really yes you are an eagle flap your wings and let's go and he started flapping its little wings and flapping them again and the mother eagle carried the little eaglet and took her so high and then released and it flapped the waves down again and the mother eagle came down under and picked it again and three four times and the fourth the fifth time the iglet began to fly and it realized that it was not it's destiny to dwell with the chicken it has always been an eagle he was destined to fly beloved i came here tonight this friday night i came to tell somebody today who's listening to me that you too are this time to fly because you are an eagle you are not just kind to be frustrated on this planet earth beloved some of you are near the verge of committing suicide because you look at your circumstance and you're worried about your circumstances you are so different you feel like you don't belong where you are you feel like everybody is thinking about you everybody is talking about you you look so different you are dissatisfied with who you are tonight i came to tell you that you are different because god made you different you are different because god has a different purpose for you you are made in the image of god you are made by god you are made for god and your destiny is in god and until you find god you will never be happy with yourself beloved there is a god-shaped hunger hollow within us that cannot be filled by anything else except the presence of god you see beloved when we were made by god we were made perfect without sin we are made in his image sin damaged us but sin did not completely destroy the image of god in us and so in every one of us it doesn't matter where you are and what you might be doing now that people disapprove of in every human being no matter how sinful there is a desire for goodness that's why we celebrate goodness when we see somebody run so fast we want to celebrate that when we see somebody does something so well we want to celebrate that we are always celebrating goodness because in every one of us there is a desire for goodness that desire for goodness god left it in us the bible says that god created enmity between the man the woman and the devil god did not leave us completely in the hands of the devil he created enmity and beloved thank god that even today no matter how defiled in sin we might be beloved there is still something in you and in me that desires holiness that desires goodness and that desire for goodness is the desire for god because god is good amen when you desire goodness you are desiring god when you are longing for something better you are longing for god you may not know it you know there are so many young people who are longing for god and the devil says oh if you drink just a beer you will find what you are looking for they go into drinking they don't find it others are looking for god and the devil tells them go into drugs you'll have a high you'll feel so good and they do it and they're never satisfied they do not know that they're looking for god others go for illicit goodness i'm here to tell you because you are made in the image god others going to marrying wives did you hear what i said 707 0 zero waves and then on top of that he added 300 concubines so in total he had one thousand young ladies waiting upon him i just imagine solomon waking up one day and walking in the streets and finding a lady and say hi lady would you like to be my wife and the lady looks at him and say but man i'm already your wife i don't think he knew all of them one thousand of them think about it he was a busy man one thousand of if you wanted to talk to each one of them spend a day with each one of them it would take him more than three years to complete talking with one of them that's how busy he was but because he was also a ruler he had no time for them at the end of his life solomon says vanity of vanity i found no pleasure in my wives so stop trying with your two wives your three wives paul solomon tried a thousand of them and he found nothing in it he said vanity of vanity as he closes his book it says this is the conclusion of the matter fear god and keep his commandments that's the old duty of man beloved you are destined to fly but the devil is keeping us down with things that are not real telling us that joy is over there joy is over there peace is over there and others go in amazing well i tell you the people who are so rich that they don't even know how much money they have they're so rich so filthy rich buy one car after the other buy one house after the other buy one bed after the other and they discover that many can give you a bed but it will never give you sleep money can lay food on your table but it will never give you appetite money can buy for you clothes but beloved money will never give you peace of mind and so beloved they keep looking for it over everywhere but getting frustrated i want to tell you tonight beloved that you are destined to fly but you will never really fly until you find your identity who you truly are it is who you are that defines for you your destiny who you are defines what your purpose in life is all about who you are defines what your passion ought to be who our beloved defines what you should be doing now it is who you are that gives you power when you know who you are you get to know your destiny and when you know your destiny beloved then you can face anything because you find hope and a reason for living this is why jesus the ego he's the one who came down from heaven flying and came down and found us and told us the human race that beloved you are eagles you are children of my father you were made for things better rise from where you are do not believe what people have said about you you are better than what people are saying about you hollow somebody do not think of what people thought about you do not define yourself by what people define you to be stop listening to people and start hearing the voice of your father god let me share with you what god says in the book of ephesians chapter one the bible says go to ephesians chapter one these are the goodies that christ comes with when you allow him in your life in the book of ephesians the writer who is paul is looking back as to what christ has brought paul thought that joy would be in religion like many people do he was at the top of the religious people among the 70 best of the religious people member of the sanhedrin at an early age of youth he says that when it came to keeping the law of god i was perfect he delighted himself in being let me tell you how what paul thought of himself what values he had before he met jesus when he was feeding with a chicken look at what were his values he writes to us in the book of philippians the book of philippians the chapter is number three the apostle paul is talking i will take you to ephesians later but in this efficiency policing talking about his new identity comparing it with what he thought he was he says for we are the circumcision who worship god in the spirit rejoice in christ jesus and have no confidence in the flesh that is significant what i'm talking about you are meant to live a spiritual life but seeing brought us to live a fleshly life when you live a fleshly life you live by your senses what you see what you hear what you smell that is what defines your values you define your values in the context of materialism and paul did that he walked according to the flesh and when you walk according to the flesh you follow the desires of the flesh and you follow the desires of the lusts of the mind and it directs you this way and that way but there's still emptiness in your life because beloved we are not meant to live a fleshly life living by our senses we were made in the image of god and the bible says that god is spirit and those who worship god must worship him in spirit and in truth you are made to live a spiritual life so that you can relate to the physical world where god made us to have dominion but we can also relate to the spiritual world the world of god so we were made to have fellowship with things on earth but we are also made of fellowship with god when the spirit of god left man because of sin we meant we remained empty we became fleshly and our desires were limited to the realm of the flesh and that's why we get frustrated that's why young people commit suicide that's why parents kill their children husbands killing their wives and children wives killing their husbands and children and so there's dysfunctional families everywhere we write good laws for our government that we cannot keep those good laws because we are living in a world that is not ours the world of the flesh but we need to discover that this frustrations can stop when we know who we are in christ that's why jesus came and paul met jesus when he was a religious person but he was committing mother in the name of god he had just watched the mother of stephen and then he was on his way to damascus to commit more mother to the believers in christ when he met jesus christ and told him paul stop fighting against the odds stop fighting i'm jesus and when he met jesus his values changed when he met jesus he knew who he was when he knew who he was he learned about his destiny and that transformed everything about his life beloved if you read the bible among the apostles of jesus christ there is nobody who suffered like paul there's no one who knew tough times like paul there was a night when they were so so much in trouble in the sea that they were so afraid for their lives it was on his way to rome it was in fetus but there came a time when the sea was so troubled that they bought where they were the ship where the war was almost sinking so they threw everything into the sea and finally they see that the the ship was broken and they sailed to the land and when you reach the land and they were just gathering somewhere by the fire warming themselves and the snake came out and beat him coming from the lake they lived such tough lives and paul finally ended up laying his life down for christ he died the bible says that he was beheaded because they could not hang him they could not put him on a cross for he was a roman beloved where did paul get courage to face such tough times it's because he discovered his destiny he discovered who he was he got a purpose for living and there was nothing that could stop him i'm telling you tonight beloved that when you discover who you are in christ and realize and understand what your destiny in him is all about from that day onwards no matter what your situation is today you will be able to face it no matter what people have said about you in the past you'll be able to stand tall when you discover who you are in union with christ and so paul writes to us and he says though i myself have confidence in the flesh might i though i also might have confidence in the flesh if anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh i'm more so i was circumcised the eighth day that was according to the jewish customs of the stock of israel of the tribe of benjamin i know my pedigree that's what he's talking about i come from a good background i know who i am i'm proud of my earthly inheritance benjaminite a hebrew of hebrews concerning the law i was a pharisee concerning zeal persecuting the church concerning the righteousness which is in the law i was blameless but paul says but what things were gained to me this i have counted loss for christ yet indeed i also count all things lost for the excellence of the knowledge of christ jesus my lord for who in christ not having my own righteousness which is from the law but that which is through faith in christ the righteousness which is from god by faith there's something paul i said here that is so amazing he's saying that my christian walk is not a treasury it's it's not something too hard my work with christ is something i'm enjoying my difficult times do not keep me back i am rejoicing in my difficult moments i'm counting all things but rubbish and that's what rav is beloved in the original languages means not only ordinary rubbish that it means human down not something that you want to drop and then look at again in other words when you come to know jesus christ as lord tough though life may be it makes everything else just like scuba la done you can't turn back you can't go back again to what you have dropped behind you because of the excellence of the knowledge of christ jesus the knowledge of christ jesus is what defines who you are you will never know yourself until you have known whose you are when you define yourself as an african it means that somebody makes you black whether your father is white if your mother is black you're black if your mother is white and your father is black you are still black i remember in south africa there was this time when people were changing who they are and there are some indians who became white there are some colors who became white and some changed and were recognized as there is no black man that became anything else they remained black what am i trying to say your identity is in whose you are we are gods and if you don't know god then you don't know your identity and if you don't know your identity then you don't know your purpose in life you don't know your destiny and if you don't know your destiny you will live a life of frustration a life of vanity everything you are doing will end up in nothing when paul discovered whose he was that he belonged to god then immediately he knew who he was that was a child of god and he was a destined to reign with christ beloved he became so powerful he faced so many challenges in life he said somewhere that we are brought down but we are never christ he says so many things that i want you to go and read but let me read for you this one in ephesians chapter one what he discovered his treasure he said i'm willing to trade everything else i have traded everything else for the sake of the knowledge of christ and i do not think that what i've traded is of any value when i look at the value of what i have left for jesus i discover that it is worthless it is like scuba it is like down for the sake of the knowledge of christ what is it that paul discovered in christ that makes him say that everything else is kubala what is it turn with me now to the book i gave you ephesians chapter 1 verse 3 paul says blessed be the god and father of our lord jesus christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places beloved when you come to the lord jesus christ you discover number one that you've been blessed blessed with every spiritual blessing in christ jesus why is that exciting is because in god's realm of existence the spiritual comes before the material god is spirit out of god he spoke and there was the physical world when you are blessed with every spiritual blessing in christ jesus it means that god is transforming you to be like him and when you live a spiritual life the spirit of god dwells in you jesus said that you can speak things into existence you will pray and what you ask even if it is a mountain you can say this mountain be removed and be planted into the sea and it shall be done for you receiving the spirit of god living a spiritual life being connected with god beloved makes you as powerful as god himself is because you are connected with him he says we are blessed if you are blessed spiritually then you are truly blessed if you are blessed only materially then you are not blessed because the things that are created the bible says jesus said it that heaven and earth shall pass away all that you are seeing shall pass away but his word which is spirit shall not pass away if you are connected to god then your destiny is in god you shall live forever you have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in christ number two he says just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before him in love that's the next something that is so beautiful that you are chosen you are chosen by god jesus says in john chapter 15 that i chose you you did not choose me the fact that you are listening to me right now is the fact it should tell you that you are chosen by god there are so many channels on your television that you could turn to there are so many things and where you're watching that you turn to but god wants you to hear this message because he's calling you is like that eagle that is shouting unto you that you have a better destiny in god you have been chosen by him in christ jesus and is calling you through the gospel to respond to the call of god so that you can live a better life eternal life and it begins right now and then he says father having been uh you are chosen that you should be holy and without blame before him in love that was four you are chosen that you should leave a separate life a life that is cut off for god you are special that's what this this past means the voice is saying that you are special don't try to be ordinary when god has made you special god made you and fitted you for himself the qualities that you have in you the difference that you you have in your life is for the glory of god and beloved when you give yourself to god he can change you he can start using you just the way you are one of my best men that i love so much is this gentleman called nick you have watched nick before he's a hero for many people he has no hands he has no legs and when you see what he can do because the spirit of god is in him then you will know that there is something in you better than limbs better than legs better than anything that you think you are missing right now if something happened to you you lost your leg that's no reason to be depressed you lost your arms that's no reason to be depressed whatever you are lacking in your body look to jesus if you are united to christ and the spirit of god is in you you are still more than a conqueror you can still face life with joy with courage with power because the spirit of god is in you so rise from where you are rise from where you think life has placed you you know the devil likes to place us in in in places we don't even want to be put jesus in the grave on the third day mary comes and they're looking for jesus they say where have you laid him and the angel says no no no you are looking for jesus who was died who died whom they placed in the grave he is not here he is risen he is not here i don't care where the devil has placed you he has placed you in a place where you are complaining you think you cannot face life anymore because your husband died your husband divorced you your wife died and left you with children you don't know what to do you have lost your job and you have your children what are you going to do you have been sick for so long you are in prison wherever the devil is trying to do to frustrate you he wants to put you in a place where you are just living on medicine because you are depressed i'm here to tell you today that you are an eagle rise from that place rise up in the name of the lord jesus christ he will give you strength you will fly again because life does not depend on the things that you have life depends on your relationship with jesus christ if you are united with christ beloved you can fly and so he says here in chapter 5 and verse 5 of ephesians 1 verse 5 says having predestined us to adoption as sons by jesus christ to himself according to the good pleasure of his will that seeks to the praise of the glory of his grace no matter what the enemy is doing in your life no matter what challenges you have faced as we come to the clause today i want you to know that your destined to the praise of the glory of god god wants to come into your life in such a powerful way that that very situation where you are he wants to transform for his own glory and then he says in verse 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace by which he made us accepted in the beloved i think if you have failed to rejoice so far that is a word that i love so much you are accepted in the beloved that means you don't need to change anything about you you are accepted in christ jesus god has given you an odd you can rise up give him your hand he will lift you up try god try him just try him give him your life put your hands in the hands of the one who holds the universe together he will pull you up i promise you god will make a change in your life and you'll never be the same again when you discover who you are in him that you are blessed that you are chosen that you are accepted in the beloved that you are adopted in the family of god and much more that and than that he says in ephesians 2 6 that he has raised us up together with him and seated us together with christ you are exalted in christ and much more still that you are loved by god not by man loved by god you know what that means it means that god is always thinking good about you it doesn't matter who thinks evil about you do you know how many people are depressed because somebody they thought loved them they they've just discovered that there was no love in it and that the depressed others are at the verge of divorce because they don't feel loved anymore if you are in that category hear me tonight you are loved by god and that's what matters humans may love you but they will disappoint you they may even leave you but god says i will never leave you i will never forsake you if you go through the water the water will not drown you if you go through the fire i will walk with you i am god i love you i give you my word that even the weapons that have fought against you shall not prosper because i am your god you feel that your husband has left you he has died too early you are left a widow hear me the lord says i will be your husband i will walk you through i will see you through because i am your god and i love you beloved all these were done god has done so that you can you can hear the voice of god and rise up and know that in all these things that are clouding your mind the lord says you're more than a conqueror in christ jesus you are indomitable you are undefeatable rice flying isaiah i want you to turn to the book of isaiah chapter 40 and verse 29 these are the words of the living god these are amazing words that god speaks to identify who you are to give you your identity that's child of god you are blessed child of god you are chosen child of god you are redeemed child of god you are accepted in the beloved child of god you are raised up your destiny is with christ and you're meant to fly that means leave your situation rise above your situation rise above it just through faith in christ you can rise above it if you have faith in christ reminded of this child who trusted the father they had a those are there was an earthquake and then and their house sunk down the classroom sank unfortunately the class remained the same but there were rubbles all over it went down people came and looked for the house and they could not find the classroom but god preserved them alive and all their parents gave up those who were seeking the army gave up but there was this father that never gave up he never gave up he continued we continued removing the rubble because he remembered when the child was young he told his child sonny no matter what happens i will always come for you and the boy believed his father and remembered that promise and he kept on removing the rubble kept on removing two days later people said they can't be alive he said i promised my son i will go for him he continued removing the rubble until he reached a place where they knocked and he felt like he was knocking on a floor he felt that he was knocking on something intact he felt the noise he knew there's some hollow below and the children also had him some of the children were so weak but the son said my daddy said he will come for me he will come for me and some remain just holding on and when they had the knock-tack tactic the boy said daddy is that you and the father said yes it is me my son i told you he turned to the voice i told you that my dad said he will come for me beloved god came for us at the darkest hour of our lives when she not had us bound and we could not release ourselves we are living in this dark filthy world full of corruption full of disease and death that is and took away our sins by his death on the cross he paid for let not your heart be troubled believe in god believe also in me because in my father's house there are many rooms if it were not so i would have told you that i go to prepare a place for you and when i go and prepare a place for you then i will come again and take you to myself that where i am you may be also this is the promise of our destiny in christ and we know that he is faithful who promised and he will come again for us beloved what am i saying i'm saying that the lord jesus is coming again he will come no matter how dark our situation might be no matter how dark and terrible your situation might be i say tonight hold on the king is coming again and he will break the eastern sky and he will find us some of you he will find in the grave but he will find you he will call you by name you will rise because the king is faithful you are this time to fly the bible says we shall not all die but we shall all be changed in the twinkling of an eye paul says i don't want you to be ignorant about the dead he says that we were remaining first thessalonians chapter 4 verse 13 onwards we shall not prevent them for the dead in christ shall rise first and then we will remain shall be caught up with them and then together we shall meet in the sky beloved you are destined to fly tell your friend that my situation might be bad now but i'm destined to fly one of these days one of these five days the lord will come like the eagle like the shout of the archangel and the heaven will burst open and we shall see him in whom we believe we shall fly we are destined to fly with him so hold on where you are today do not let the devil keep you down do not let your present situation hold you back don't allow depression in your life hold on rise up look unto jesus the author and the finisher of our faith who has promised is coming again and we shall fly and so the bible says he gives power to the weak and to those who have no might he increases strength but 30 of us are 40 even the youth shall faint and be wary and the young men shall utterly fall but those who wait on the lord hallelujah shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings like eagles they shall run and not be wary they shall walk and not faint they shall fly may god bless you get ready to fly because the king is coming again allow nothing to keep you down face life no matter what your situation face life live on tell your friends i will leave because he leaves and i know i will fly because he has promised in jesus name let us pray heavenly father what a joy what a joy to know your destined to fly because you have said it we believe it and you are a faithful god and so tonight i'm calling lord to those who are watching me and are at the verge of depression watching me and at the verge of suicide i pray lord tell them it is too late it's too late this is not the time to be depressed this is not the time to contemplate suicide this is not the time to give up in life this is the time to hear the voice of the master who says let not your heart be troubled i have gone to prepare a place for you and if i go and prepare place for you i will come again and so lord help us to hold on i'm praying for that family that is so devastated by the death of a family member lord i pray tell them to hold on hold on wherever you are god is faithful hold on hold on hold fast what you have hold on to your faith in jesus because the lord is coming soon jesus

channel kenya live you do not want to miss any bit of that right now we are exiting the state but we want to enjoy the remaining programs i've been your host boaz ching and i am naomi roosevelt and the sign language was none other than haron a world be blessed [Music] my name is nathaniel nagol and my wife is zipporah nagol the lord has blessed us with the two children john mark and scott levy nagol we thank you for listening to us today thank you i got married in 2005 december 18th to the foreign goal and the lord took care of us for 12 years without a child and this happened for reasons that we cannot tell because it's very difficult to know how god does his work and for this reason um it was a challenge yes and i believe that there are many of us who may have gone through the same but i just want to say that let us not try to help god do his work uh you might be in a hurry because of your own reasons which are not gods i want to challenge you today that despite the challenge that you may have in life leave everything to god and he will take care of it one of the verses that has been very helpful to me is matthew 6 33 that says seek ye first the kingdom of god and his raciousness and all these things shall be added the word added means you'll begin getting blessings as time goes by and so additions are given by god himself because you are you first you are first seeking his kingdom and so what helped me personally as a servant of god is the fact that i dedicated all my life into this ministry of music as many of us may know that and so that really helped me to settle down in my life as i did not also wait i did not wait that one day god will bless us with a child that was not something that i was thinking about neither did i expect my concentration was the ministry and other things like looking for a job getting education so my point here is let us not focus on our challenges let us look up to god for who is the solution of all these problems the moment you look at your challenge and you keep on thinking about it sleeping all over it honestly speaking you have no control of things like you know having a child if i would have a control of that then i would easily get i would we could have gotten children as many as we could but now this is a challenge that we have no control over for instance i have a challenge in time of in terms of time keeping if you tell me to get to a place at nine sharp i have an option of you know getting there early or i might be late i have a control of that because god has given me that power but there are certain things in life where you don't have any control so in such cases why don't we leave them to god so that he handles that let us focus on him let us give him his chance to work his blessings through different miracles that he has done in our lives so um i would advise each and every one of us today to think about what god can do and also focus on the greatness of his his his mightiness to us um i would also want to add that when you look at for example the life of abraham and sarah truly speaking they decided to help god do his work they decided to come up with a formula so that they could get a child and remember the reason why i say this is because when god is asking abraham to sacrifice his son he says i would like you to sacrifice your only son the question is where is ishmael where why did god not count him as abraham's son and so some of these things that we do that we think we are doing them for our own good are only for our detriment and so i would like to end by saying that when your focus is on god everything will fall in place may god bless you may god touch you in a mighty way as you continue trusting in him and giving him a space in your life amen brothers and sisters i want to take this opportunity to encourage those who are in need of a child but i want to say also what if it is not god's doing that you will get a child but in one way or another you will get another blessing the blessings of our lord comes in various ways there are those who have children but are wishing they didn't have why because of the true relations that they go through let us look back and sit back and count the blessings one by one let us look back and appreciate what god has given us in our hands even as we wait upon the gift of children to those who have children i will not go without mentioning that children are a blessing for god let us not take them for granted actually for us we said any sex of a child whether a male or a female whether the child has got which condition or which we will accept in fact i remember my husband saying don't even go looking for which sex is this now we need no because this is a gift of god and when you have them give them the best and when i say the best it doesn't mean that you have to take them to all expensive suits and do all this and even pamper them no in terms of parental care give them the best listen to the child even the two-year-old even the one-year-old they want to listen to us most of the times when we get these gifts we tend to forget how far we have come from some of us even went as far as going through a lot of maybe operations or things like that and now they have a child they forget how far has god has brought has brought them so it is my encouragement that let us take these blessings of children that the lord has given us and for those who are still in weight upon the lord establish yourself build yourself spiritually as as you never know that god might be molding you to have the correct environment to bring these children maybe when you have gotten them immediately we will have been maybe too young or something like that or maybe will not even have been stable financially or maybe maybe our emotional control as parents would not have been good at that particular time so when you don't have a child as a gift in your home take it upon yourself as an opportunity for you to create an enabling environment to create that peace among you as a husband and wife give yourself to the best sometimes i usually say that this is the time for for you for you to prolong your honeymoon so that you can know each other better when the children comes i want to say that it is a task you will be in and out of the hospital because when they are below five years things happen but when you take it upon yourself to create that enabling environment and even have that opportunity for you to build one another this the aspect of children will not wear you down it will find you in a better position to handle them above all place everything in god's hands because he's the giver of all things may god bless you [Music] you
