[Music] today's reading is taken from genesis 16 verses 1 to 14. when you found it please stand now sarai abram's wife bare him no children and she had a handmaid an egyptian whose name was hagar and sarah said unto abram now behold now the lord had restrained me from bearing i pray thee go in on to my maid it may be that i may obtain children by her and abram harken unto the voice of sarai and sarai abram's wife took hagar her maid the egyptian after abram and dwelt 10 years in the land of canaan and gave him to her her husband abram his wife to be to be his wife and he went in onto hagar and she conceived and when she saw that she had conceived her mistress was despised in her eyes and sarah said unto abram my wrong be upon thee i have given my maid into thy bosom and when she saw that she had conceived i was despised in her eyes the lord judged between me and thee but abram said unto sarai behold thy maid is in thy hand due to her as it pleased thee and when sarah dealt hardly with her she fled from her face and the angel of the lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness by the fountain in the way to shore and he said hagar sarah is made whence came as thou and wither will go and she said i flee from the face of my mistress sarai and the angel of the lord said unto her return to thy mistress and submit thyself under her hands and the angel of the lord said unto her i will multiply thy seed exceedingly and it shall not be numbered for multitude and the angel of the lord said unto her behold thou art with child and shall bear a son and shall call his name ishmael because of the lord that had heard thy affliction and he will be a wild man his hand will be against every man and every man hand against him and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren and she called the name of the lord that spake unto her though god sees me for she said i have also her looked after that sea at me fourteen and last wherefore the well was called birla rohai behold it is between kadesh and bered aaron the reading of god's holy word may we honor it by saying amen amen if we can stand please at this time i'd like to invite our speaker reverend hashanah knight has she comes to give the word of god this morning amen bless the lord let's receive her amen [Applause] good morning church i take this opportunity to begin by giving honor to the holy spirit because it is in his strength that i stand i never ever do anything without giving honor to the holy spirit that's just my mantra i have to give give it all to him sister janice you know because it's all about him this morning and i'd also like to greet bishop reuben king sister sonia all the visitors friends and family i greet you all in the precious and mighty name of our lord and our savior jesus christ just we just stand and just give god some praise if you can stand just just stand and just give god some praise just give god some praise if you can't stand just give god some praise hallelujah is worthy of it all is worthy of it all he is worthy of it all he's worthy of it all father you are worthy of glory you are worthy of honor and you are worthy of praise and to you be all the glory in jesus name father as i stand in your presence this afternoon this morning lord i stand as a vessel in your hands or god i am nothing and can do nothing without you so i submit myself into your hand holy spirit that you will speak through me let everything about a shannon night decrease and lord let you have your way your word says that those that have ears to hear hear what the spirit has to say the word that i bring forth father god is a word that you've given unto me for us today to hear so father have your way in jesus name i pray amen and amen you may be seated thank you you know i was praying and asking the lord what do you want me to share what do you want me to say what do you want me to say to us here in heath town in wolverhampton in this locality and i believe the lord gave me a word from the scripture that brother alton just read in um genesis chapter 16 verse 1 to 14 and sometimes when the lord gives us gives us a word it's not sometimes a word that we want to share you know we'd rather share something else but in being obedient to the holy spirit i'm going to allow him to have his way we are told in second timothy 3 verse 16 to 17 all scripture is breathed out by god and profitable for teaching for reproof for correction for training in righteousness that the man of god may be complete equipped for every good work so the scripture has been read and because of time i won't read it again but the story of agar is found in the story as we know about abraham and sarai or sarah as her name was changed to later and i believe it's a story that most christians are familiar with but in case there's anyone in the sanctuary this morning or listening to me that is not quite familiar with the story let me give you a brief synopsis up to the point where we are in chapter 16. the story of abraham begins in genesis chapter 12 from verse 1 and it goes through and we read about his genealogy prior to chapter 12. but here in chapter 12 of genesis god calls abraham and his wife sarai who at the time were living in with abraham's father whose name was terror they were living in haran a city in upper mesopotamia when god called abraham he made a covenant with him promising to make his descendants into a great nation when god had called abraham and sarai at that time they had no children so abraham agrees to leave his home and move southwest to canaan with his wife and his nephew lot to the land that god had promised to give them and his descendants from chapter 12 through to chapter 15 we see numerous times where god speaks to abraham regarding his covenant about his descendants chapter 12 verse 7 the bible says the lord peter abraham said to your offspring i will give this land so he built an altar there to the lord who appeared to him in chapter 13 verse 15 and 16 the lord again said all the land that you see i will give to you and your offspring forever verse 16. i will make your offsprings like the dust off the earth so that if anyone could count the dust then your offspring could be counted in chapter 15 of genesis when abraham cries out to god and says you've given me no children so my servant will be my heir god speaks again to abraham and promises that his descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky god says in that same chapter 15 verse 4 this man this made this servant that he had will not be your heir but a son coming from your own body will be your heir he said look up at the heavens and count the stars if you can really count them so your offering shall be god then performed a ceremony between him and abraham a covenant that symbolizes that god will keep his promise amen god will keep his promise god scripture tells us that god is not a man that you should lie though the son of man that he should repent if god has made a promise to you god will bring it to fulfillment all we have to do is wait and sometimes the waiting is a problem amen sometimes the waiting is where we struggle so when god calls abraham to leave his country abraham was 75 years old he had or they had no children sarah was barren could you imagine what she must have been going through it was a disgrace for a woman at that time to have no children so she would have probably been ridiculed she had probably been mocked she probably would have felt ashamed she would have probably been shunned my god it was thought to be a curse if a woman at that time didn't have any children waiting on the promise of god came through tests and of faith have you been tested have you been tested or is it just me i've been tested are you waiting for god to come through for you thank you you're waiting for god i'm waiting and still waiting still waiting on god to come through sister mother um stewart was still waiting 10 years 20 years 30 years 40 years 75 years still waiting by now sarah's faith grace was growing sin i know about that one i know what it is for your faith huh to grow thin sister pat yes her faith was growing thin now there are other major incidents that occur from the time that god called abraham up until where we are in chapter 16 but for the purpose of today's message i want to just focus on chapter 16. so we hear that sarah now has no children so she decides to hatch a plan my god to bring the promise to fulfillment she decided she was going to take matters into her own hands but what she was planning on doing was not what god had planned or the way god had planned for it to come forth my question to you and myself today what matters have you taken into your own hands or what matters are you thinking about taking into your own hands that is not the plan of god for your life or for my life be still and know that he is god in spite of the waiting in spite of the testing in spite of it all we have to wait hallelujah i know that sometimes we want to help got out gene we want to do this and do that and and try and fix it but when we double in god's business we're making a graven mistake blessed be the name of jesus be still and know that he is god i'm not standing here to tell you that it's easy to be still i'm not standing here to pretend sister sanji that is easy oh no no no i'm not pretending because i know what it is to wait on god and still waiting on god and still trusting god and still hoping that he will do the exceedingly and the abundantly and the above all to change my morning into dancing but i'm going to sit still until such time glory be to god so sarah now has hatched this plan and she decides to send to say to um her maid servant hagar my god that she would go in and sleep with her husband abraham now imagine there's children in the house so let me be careful of how i phrased my words in the house of god this morning and i'm conscious that people probably listening so let me just you know sister gracious holy spirit do your thing help me oh god sarai says to haggai go in to my husband abraham i don't know about you i don't know about you but i ain't telling anyone to go in to my husband no way no how not for money not for love but this is what sarai had planned to do and abraham they say men are weak i don't want to give them that title this morning because i know men are strong but abraham accepted the offer abraham should have stood up and said to sarah listen to me woman sit down a while go and arrest yourself i'm not going to go there but everyone probably robbing hand glory be to god thought yes today is the day yes yes brother paul he was excited he was blinded by lust he was blinded by what seemed to look good he was blinded by the temptation be not blinded by what looks good the enemy knows what to dangle in front of us he knows what to put in our way that looks good it sounds good it might even taste good but it is not of god refuse it in the name of jesus abraham wasn't the only one that succumbed to the woman's voice we see that adam brother adam in the book of genesis in the beginning when eve came to him and he should have told eve no i will not eat off the fruit he accepted the fruit brother adam was weak we see also this with brother samson put his head in the lap of sister delilah sister delight like can she lie yes sister delilah be careful of the sister lies samson did it and here we see abraham and sarah so abraham went in to to hagar and the bible says that um hagar conceived now this as i thought about it was a double blow for sarai because up until that point she didn't know whether the problem lay with her or if it lay with abraham she might have thought it was her but now that her guy is pregnant she no se the problem is with with her so not only did she believe that she was barren but she now knew that the problem lay with her lord have mercy could you imagine the situation that now agar is pregnant and gonna bring forth this child my god but here goes sister hagai now who says sahara sarah put her in a position of prominence says sarah lifted her up and gave her to her husband and now this maid this servant became puffed up and big headed and arrogant and rude and disobedient and and going on with herself like she was something in a bag of chips forgetting who would put her in the position when god elevates you when god raises you up when man puts you in a position you will fall but when god moves you up remember it is god that is giving you that position it is god and not man do not exalt yourself humble yourself under the mighty hand of god and in time he will exalt you sister hagai became proud for and i could imagine her walking around looking at sister i am sarah looking at her in disrespect and probably rolling her eyes you know you know we women you know how we do it you know how we do women kimba and look at her as i say look you you know who i am i am the woman now i have to see now going on with herself but glory be to god humble ourselves humble ourselves and remember your place remember our place hallelujah so hagar's pride became inflated she became insolent to sarah the one who gave her the position my although it was wrong it was a wrong thing that sarah did but haggai reacted away that upset sarah hey abraham should have took matt taking matters into control because here now when when our guys get going on with herself sarah goes and complains sarah goes and come imagine that sarah cause a problem she instigated the problem the result what she wanted she got she wanted a guy to have a child because she felt that she was barren and through this she believed that she could have a an heir but because hagar was going on with herself sarah now complains and she goes to abraham my god abraham who should have dealt with the situation said to sarah do whatever you like do whatever you want with her let me say something to the household of faith there are some things that we know there are some things that we see that's something that we are aware of and we do nothing about it we turn a blind eye we turn a blind eye because it's more easier to do so we believe than to address it and we cause a whole deeper problem a bigger problem will occur when we decide to sit still and do nothing and say nothing abraham the man of god should have taken things into action you should put things in place but he decided to do nothing and said to sarai do whatever you like with hagar giving hagar lies giving sarah license to mistreat hagar there are some of you in the very presence of my voice this morning who have been hurt yes you have some of you that are listening to my voice have been hurt because things weren't put into place actions weren't taken when they should have been done a blind eye was turned instead of dealing with the situation things were swept under the carpet and the carpet got bigger and bigger and bigger and eventually somebody tripped because a blind eye was turned lord have mercy and the bible says that haggai ran away after the treatment of sarah a guy ran away she fled to the wilderness to a barren place to a lonely place to a place of isolation a place where roaming wolves and vipers dwelled a place where there's no sustenance the wilderness at dry and barren and deserted places are you today in a dry and barren place because you've been hurt are you there you're here in body but you're you're mind you're hurt but you're somewhere else are you there today have you been mistreated glory be to god not only did she run away but she ran away with her pride she ran away with vaccination she ran away with anger complaining bitterness resentment and a big one of all unforgiveness she even probably ran away feeling let down after all i said it was sarah that started it all in the beginning lord have mercy sarah haggai was contented in a place of serving before i came along she was okay there but sarai caused this problem to cause this woman now grief but her guy was not only innocent she was also to blame because of their pride running away also meant that haggai had come out from under the covering of abraham and is household she come out from under his protection she come out from under his provision she come out from among his household and her brethren she come out from among familiar territory and stepped into a dangerous environment without any protection when we come out of the presence of almighty god we are putting ourselves in a place where the enemy is like a roaring lion seeking who he will devour we need to be under the protection and under the arm of god to watch over us to cover us to protect us to keep us safe because the enemy will do anything and everything he can do to get us off guard her guy was in the wilderness outside the will of god she ran away and this brings me to the crooks of my message today lord have mercy help me jesus many have ran away they've wandered away and they've turned their backs on all sorts of situation because they've been hurt some were serving some were active some were visible before koved but have walked away or have ran away some of them not been seen we can't hear from them but let's pray that the holy spirit will bring them and draw them back into the fall somebody hurt by family hurt by family friends hurt by relatives hurt by colleagues hurt by employers and even hurt in church glory be to god the bible says in verse 7 that the angel said the lord found hagar by a fountain of the war of water in the wilderness now look at god look at the god we serve she ran away and she was in the wilderness but god provided a well of water for agar my god even in our lonely places in our deserted places even in isolation even we think that no one cares about us when we think there's no one there god the living water my god is right there beside us and he says that if anyone says let him come after me and i will give him of this living water haggai had water in the desert jesus is right there in the wilderness with us he's right there beside you in your deserted places is right there with you in the in the morning is there in the evening is there in the noon time whatever you're going through he's there if you're on the mountaintop is there if you're in the valley of the shadow of death is there where your mother forsakes you is there when your brother forsakes you is there when your sister forsakes you is there when all men faith forsake you god is there my god is there he's a water of living life today you can drink from that fountain and you will never thirst again you might drink a glass of water and get thirsty but when we drink from the water of living life my god we were never thirsty again the woman by the eat by the world was by the well upon the world my god and she sat there and jesus came by my cousin jesus went by and she was there and he said give me to drink and she he said to her if you knew if you knew if we knew who it was that was giving us his living water his name is jesus and today he has brought water for you to drink don't have to stay buried in the in the desert dry and barren place today he wants to give you living water blessed be the name of jesus glory to god right in the wilderness in that thirsty place god was there hallelujah glory be to god glory be to god and when the angel found haggar he said to her hagar sarah's maid reminding her who she was he called her name in the bible many times we hear it says the woman the woman the woman or the man but here he called her name god is calling your name today is not mistaking you with anybody else he knows my name he knows your name the angel says hagar sarah's maid where did you come from and where are you intending on going verse 8. haggai said lord have mercy i'm running away from my mistress sarai her guy probably thought that where she was coming from was worse place the worst place ever she thought that what sarah was doing to her was so bad the situation was so bad it was so dire have you been in a situation you feel so bad you don't know what to do you feel like running you feel like running away my god i know that i have i've been there let me talk about me i've been in that place where i feel like running and screaming and it was for the grace of god and i walk around my head on my head rocking madashad but glory be to god glory be to god he's kept me in my right mind he keeps he says and he satisfies let me tell you about this my name jesus he is the same yesterday today and forever no matter what you're going through he will hold you but you got to know him hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah my god my god my god she knew where she was coming from but she had no idea where she was going she had no plan no direction just running away just running away my god in the same way today many have made decisions to go their own way to do their own thing but it's not the will of god they might think they are in a good place thinking they're in a good place but they are in the wilderness and the vultures are waiting they're flying overhead they're awaiting the waiting of the when you're in the wilderness before you know you're going further and further and further away from that water that water that sustains you that water that feeds you you're walking further away from it and when you walk further and further away now you're dry you're dying and when you're dying of vultures my god they come and they pick out you satan is waiting to sift you satan is waiting to sift me satan is waiting for us to fall but in the name of jesus christ of nazareth we will not fall we will not go back we are going to go forward in the name of jesus in the power of almighty god glory be to god glory be to god we are not going to run away we're not going to turn away kobe 19 is no match for the king of kings and the lord of lords he's a conquering lion of the tribe of judah we will not retreat we are are we are soldiers in the army of god and we're gonna stand for dominance blessed be the name of jesus hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah so here now the angel says to say sahagai my god he gives a my god a tall order my brother it says to hagai hmm return go back and submit lord of mercy submit sister marilyn thyself under her hand verse 9 return go back now this was not going to be easy it wasn't going to be easy for her to go back but she had to go back and she had to submit herself lord have mercy submit to the one that hurt her to the one that had plotted against you to the one that despised you to the one that had ridiculed her the one that lied against you sometimes we have to submit to the very person gene my god who hurt us who lie against us who set up against us as a janice can you imagine the one that lied and the one that did you wrong you have to go back and make it right return means that you have to humble the lord said the end of the lord said humble yourself unto your mysteries that means putting away our pride putting away this flesh putting away resentment putting away bitterness and forgiving let it all go the angel was saying let it go and go back go back go back to your mistress the lord is saying come back come back to me all of you who have gone astray all of you that in the wilderness all of you that are out there in the world of sin presented by the world he's saying this morning come back return back to the family of god return back in spite of what they did to you in spite of how they lied on you in spite of how they mistreated you come home come home he that i will come home softly and tenderly jesus is calling calling us to come home come home from at the wilderness come home to the house of god come home my brother come home my sister come home my mother come home my father come home my sons come home my daughters come home my grandchildren come home my nieces come home my nephews come home says of god come home come home come home come home blessed be the name of jesus hallelujah in verse 10 the
