welcome in this place in this place hi just do what you want to do do what you want to do what you want to do come on how many of you really want him to have his way raise your voice open your mouth and say god have your way in me i'm excited about what god's gonna do in your life how many excited about what god's gonna do in your life this last quarter of 2021. i don't feel like y'all are an expectation of god doing something in your life because if you just said god have your way in my life how many you know god's only going to do good things in your life so when i say have your way that means i'm an expectation of his perfect will coming to pass i'm an expectation of god doing exceeding abundantly above all that i could ever ask a thing i'm an expectation of october being outstanding i'm expecting to experience some overflow it's in this october i'm expecting god to do some never seen it before never been done before favor in november i'm expecting a dynamic december so when you say lord have your way and do what you want to do you're saying god do what eyes have not seen you with ears have not heard i'm an expectation of you amazing me with your goodness of you astounding me with your blessing do i have anybody in here this morning that has an expectation that i will in 2021 in the last three months he'll make up the time for what happened in the first part of this year that god will amaze you with his goodness in october november and december and whatever you lost at the beginning of the year it will not compare to what you don't gain in october november and december if you've got faith to believe that i need you to lift up a shout in this place i just need some appraisers who say i'm in expectation i'm gonna praise him in advance the first sunday of october i'm gonna put a praise on this quarter that says i'm accepting something different in my life because i'm making the difference i'm doing something different i'm expecting god to do something different for me in the last part of this year okay now i feel like i'm at the now i feel like i'm at the encounter service i'm gonna sit i feel like i'm in the movement but i feel like i'm at the end so when you say lord have your way that means have your way i'm expecting things to shift i'm expecting another level of grace another level of joy another level of increase i'm expecting to end this year and what took long and what seemed delayed will not be delayed anymore i'm expecting some manifestation i'm not just going to be talking about it but i'm expecting the manifestation of it well welcome new light it's good to be back in the house of the lord it's good to be back with you can you give the lord another shout of praise you may be seated because you always have to give me all off as y'all can see i'm already at another level of excitement of what god's gonna do this last part of the year and see because i'm a football fan i understand the tide can change in the fourth quarter of a game you you could be losing the whole first half but that second half and that fourth quarter if you kick in another level of faith and expectation and gear put in another level you're gonna reap another level at the end i don't care what the first quarter of 2021 look like i don't care what happened in the second quarter i don't care how stagnant you were in the third quarter i need you to get your expectation to believe that in this fourth quarter of this year god's gonna amaze me with his goodness god's gonna make up the time and the difference and i'm gonna finish this year stronger than how i started it because that's the favor and the promise of god okay i'ma stop i'ma stop y'all let me get a little rest last week you see i changed services ah y'all shall you is uh i think i got some expecting believers i hope you caught that i hope you caught that i hope you caught that that business deal gonna close before the end of this year stop worrying about it it's gonna happen she's gonna say it's gonna happen it's gonna happen because it keeps happening to god be the glory all right y'all let me do what i'm supposed to do because see y'all but that's the part that i love about the encounter service but i i want you to expect don't don't get to this place and lose your expectation of what god is able to do and what he promised he will do don't let what happened maybe september didn't go like you thought i know she she said it was going to be a supernatural september i ain't seen nothing supernaturally still here so don't discount and minimize the power and the ability of god to turn the tide and turn the situation he will do exactly what is what he said you just got to keep believing you got to keep trusting you got to keep trusting that job is on the way that that breakthrough is on the way that finance the finances that you need it's on the way but you have to stay in faith keep your expectation high that if god said it he can do it and he doesn't need time like we do see we get caught up because we are so used today and night and and we're used to time but god does not need a time table to move his word is everlasting he's omnipresent he's omniscient he doesn't operate on a time schedule but he will do exactly what he said he's not sitting up to my oh it's it's it's it's monday it's sunday i got no he's going to bring it to pass in the timing and the season that's what i mean he's not on our clock because you know we we on a clock so at 12 30 we supposed to do this at 12. he's not on that kind of clock he is on his own timing his time with all in himself and his timing is right so don't you get distracted because you didn't see it happen in january february or march do you know god can do more and we'll do more in october november and december than what you saw in january february and march and i just need some of y'all to believe it and say i receive it okay welcome to the light i missed y'all but apostle did an amazing job on last sunday can you give it up for our apostle um i am so excited about what god is doing in our church and of course we are going to make sure we're moving forward in what god has called us to do you all know this is normally our vision campaign time where we cast our vision we do it twice a year and so you heard the vision moment on last week but i am excited about our vision campaign for the fall of this year we are building victorious people who are the catalysts who are catalysts for change and pastor b said it last week she did an amazing job didn't can y'all give it up for pastor b y'all know pastor b taught me how to do the announcements right so uh so she she's a pro at it but um we are building victorious people who are the catalysts who are catalysts for change and pastor b said it last week that you got to be intentional about being one of them we are where we are today because of the seeds that have been sown and the people that have done their part over the years to make a difference and and i just need you to set your faith to be a difference maker because it is our seed end of on november 14th shout out november 14th no no come on give it to me better november 14th and i think i'm gonna go with apostle that is gonna be our game changer seed i i really believe that's gonna that's that's gonna be the the game changer for your family okay y'all messing with something y'all y'all gonna help me out i mean y'all gave me a little bit more bottom in my voice but you know i still want to sound like a lady because we believe in still being feminine in our assignment hallelujah come on now all right y'all got it y'all got it fixed nope nope i'm talking about something serious so this is this is vision campaign we can't be messing with it because see i got to get just like y'all just shouted about what god's gonna do i need you i need you praying about what god's gonna have you do huh all right so it's the team they you know y'all know we've still been doing changes in the building and we're still upgrading they put some carpet in so that's why the lights are all up today because somebody you know they was changing carpet unplugged the lights and so we make the adjustment but we're going to put some rules out so that they know in the future but we're still upgrading our building so we'll make it happen all right i think i'm clear all right say it with me november 14th november november 14th is our stellar sunday that's the sunday that we're going to sew sow had i i would have been i would have done a video but i just want you to hear my heart there are so many things that are happening behind the scenes and we are where we are today because of the faithfulness of those who have given we would not be the church we are had it not been for those who have sown the seeds of sacrificial offering over the years now is the time for us to do our part amen and so i want you to begin praying about what god will have you do on next week we'll share our report card and in detail but um love city i've talked to apostle love city is about 85 90 complete i think one of the buildings is about 85 the other one is about 1999 so we're gonna just hit right in the middle about 90 percent complete the project is complete we are gearing up for camps in uh next year and the beauty the beautiful thing about the love city it's also going to be a convention center for other people to rent it out and and host events there it's more than just a camp it is a tool for us to be the light that we are to people that need place to meet and and all of those different things and so i'm excited about that um you know we are moving forward okay y'all what y'all doing to me today see apostles had no problems with his mic last week what we got d y'all working it out y'all got rod off the guitar to go over to the side look what the lord will do okay y'all gonna figure it out so um we are we're gonna by the end of the year because we've got some technology upgrades that we need to complete we started over here with our cameras and our and system that the lighting that we did but uh the app i have officially signed the contract for the app we have our first meeting with them this week uh so this month we'll see our app and oh y'all don't understand how i'm excited that when we finish it i don't have to say giblify i could just tell you to go to new life church app and you can do all your giving in new life church oh my heart is gonna be so happy um we're upgrading our website uh we're doing some things on the journey because leading up to giving sunday we're gonna be on a 21 day jump start journey to jumpstart and boost your faith and so there are a lot of things that are happening but it is because of your giving and your commitment to give that make all those things possible and so all i'm asking you to do for our veterans is i need you to pray about what god will have you sow our goal is 1.1 million dollars and we're gonna receive it on that day in jesus name amen and so i just need you to be in faith to obey god to do your part what would god have you to do if you're new to the light i want you praying about what god will have you sow and we're going to watch god work because i really believe my prayer is that as you obey god and you sow your seed you're going to see the difference that god that seed will make in the in your life and your family amen uh a couple other things that are happening monday is maximize prayer moment tuesday is relationship matters the eagans are back from vacation so they'll be doing relationship matters wednesday is uh epic prayer night and i want you to log in we're going to be praying um when you hear the lesson we're going to be praying that you walk you and your family walking the blessing in every area of your life and then on thursday i'm doing a special sheros league pastor b has an amazing anointing for praying for people who want to have babies um but i wanted to have the conversation about it this october is infertility awareness month and you many of you have heard melissa's testimony and so i'm going to be talking to two amazing women who have had supernatural childbirth on uh this thursday melissa as well as a lady named portia wilkins and so we're going to be talking about supernatural birthing but i don't want you to miss the power of that conversation because you don't want to have children because the same faith process it takes to birth the baby is the same faith process it's going to take to birth your dream that vision that god gave you that nobody understands or the doctors have told you know that or you got a bad report from the doctor or the banks told you no the same faith process to bring a baby into existence in the natural when the doctors tell you there's no option is the same faith process it's going to take to manifest what you're believing god for that's why i need all of you all watching because i know you're going to be blessed by it even though we're going to be talking about supernatural childbirth i can tell you this you're going to be blessed by their testimony to keep standing in what god told you to do and that's happening on thursday of course um if this is your first time being at the light can you give us a wave we're excited that you're here excited that you're worshiping with us i see

part of the light you can do that at that same spot as well october is breast cancer awareness month so on the 17th we're going to be wearing pink and so real men wear pink as well amen and we're going to be highlighting some of our members who have overcome and have victory in the area where the doctors may have said one thing but the word of god said different and they're walking out their

the honor and the adoration for all that shall be accomplished and all that shall be revealed in jesus name amen can you lift up one more good shot of praise in this place can you smile with your eyes to the person next to you or send the air high five down your row but let them feel your love and feel your presence and you may be seated in the presence of our god of course we are excited today to have our apostle and pastor be in the house so can you give it up for our apostle and pastor bean tomorrow is their 46th wedding anniversary oh i think that deserves more celebration we honor our apostle and pastor be and so grateful for their yes marriages families lives have been made uh there's a difference that has been made in the lives of many because of their yes and their commitment to each other for 46 years i think it deserves another big hand clown and they still dating y'all this apostles say taking it out tomorrow on a date cause he said last night on his apostles conversation still hasn't said his chief joy is to make her happy and so he's gonna take on a date so brothers take no you won't know how to stay married 40 some years and after that you got to still date they still dating after 46 years so if you've been married just a year or two and you're not dating then you know got to make it happen how about that all right let's celebrate our apostle one more time for that word on last week get your bibles out and turn to uh matthew chapter five we're going to get into the word on today um i do want to encourage you i one thing that i am grateful for is that our apostle and pastor b uh they have not retired but they restructured and they are still very active in ministry here at the church and even what god has placed in their heart to do and so yesterday pastor b had the launch of her bees girls me academy on yesterday and give her a big hand clap for that y'all know i'm all about sending your children to school on somebody else's money the bible says faith without works is dead and many times the reason why you don't have the scholarships is because you don't have the information and you haven't filled out the application and it is free money out there for your children to go to school and it feels good when you paint when somebody else is paying for part of your child's education and so uh the the class on yesterday was about financial uh scholarships and how do you apply for grants and all that and so one of the things pastor b has decided to do is to make it available to not just uh girls but it's also available to our young men now to sign up so if you have a if you have a student uh 13 to 19 even the boys can sign up so if y'all put that on the screen so everybody can see it so i want to encourage parents let's get our kids our teenagers signed up for this so that they can grow it's about their enrichment empowerment and growth and so it is the bees me academy and text if you'll text b m e a to seven one four four one b m e a two seven one four four one you can sign them up or go to bgirlsfoundation.com you can get more information there and then strategies is in october as well and we support strategies amen that uh strategies uh 2021 october 18th through the 21st last week it was said that strategies is free to all members the night sessions are free if you want to see the workshops amen that's a plus so the night sessions are free and then you say i want the day sessions then volunteer in the day and it's still free ah that's so good so yes so you don't have to have a special code if you want to register we may do um a special call one sunday for you uh yeah we may do like a discount code discount code for the members that's if you want to take advantage of the fivefold ministry uh the workshops and all of that but as a member you can come to all the the the day sessions if you when you volunteer and then of course the night sessions you can serve as well amen amen y'all ready for the work this morning i think i hit everything i was supposed to hit thank you all for uh last week i was watching uh both services apostle did an amazing job and then i had to tell myself stop sending instructions i really felt like my mom and dad last week because that you know when they used to go on vacation they'd be watching and sending instructions and texting everybody in service i know how they felt now i mean now they probably i felt what they felt last week when they were pastoring but i still was sending instructions and then finally i said turn your phone off watch and just go to breakfast so i went to breakfast and i watched the 12 o'clock service and and all of that so it was good so thank you to everybody that made it happen when you get to matthew chapter five let me hear you shout because you're excited about the word of the lord and now they're having some technical things in the back uh we're gonna have to make a note to our construction team when they out to to let people know so can y'all hear me in the back y'all can hear me cause y'all can't miss this word today y'all it can you went back there apostle would have checked it out i just love apostle so i uh i wanted to make sure y'all were good matthew 5 verse 14 shout one more time because you're excited about the word of the lord this morning verse 14 says ye are the light of the world a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel but on a candle stick and it'd give it light unto all that are in the house let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven this has been our foundational passage in the series we started in the month of september called i make the difference shout out i make the difference oh i need you to shout it like you really believe you make the difference shout out i make the difference and i just this series is so empowering and powerful to your life that you know normally i would change a series every month but we're going to stay in this vein because we found out in the first message of this series that we found out god's plan to partner with you for your success which lets you know that you make the difference shout out i make the difference last week our apostle was masterful when he taught us about how you make the difference with your sowing and your planting and with your giving shout out i make the difference you know our second lesson in this series we were strengthened and empowered by no we found out that we have been strengthened and empowered by god to act boldly in life making the difference when we use his name and his righteousness that's why to some it's arrogant to say i make the difference but because we know that we have been empowered and we have the ability to use his name we can say with boldness come on church all right and so that's right we make the difference and and in our third lesson we found out that we make the difference when we pray so this is not the time to scale back on your prayers but we have to pray because god makes a commitment to answer all scriptural prayers when properly prayed and so i said in one of the previous lessons as we've been teaching that you and i can make the difference in the well-being of our families do you really know that you can make the difference in the whole the course of your whole family's life because that's right all god needs is a righteous witness in a family to bring down his blessings on that family i'ma say that again all god needs is one righteous witness to in a family to bring down his blessings on the family and you have to start seeing yourself as the catalyst for positive change for your family shout out i make the difference in my family oh you need to say that again i make the difference in my family when you understand that what you do in the kingdom of god has a dramatic impact on your family you don't let kingdom opportunities pass you by and one of the most notable things that you and i can do to make a difference in our family is to become kingdom givers i'ma say that again one of the most notable things that you and i can do to make the difference in our families is to become a kingdom giver and this lesson today is like a part two of apostles lesson because i want you to know that you make the difference in your family when you plant shout out i make the difference in my family when i plant and i like the work plant because uh when we know that planting is done through planning and with expectation of a harvest so you have to know that you're sowing into the work of god sowing into the kingdom of god has dynamic ramifications thank god for the people who sowed over the years we are where we are today because of kingdom givers we have amassed the buildings that we have because of people giving freely into the kingdom of god to bless the work of god that deserves a hand clap of praise the home in india we've blessed girls over there the mission outreach that we do with uh the toy drive with the fire of houston fire department you know we bless single moms every month now with our partnership with i believe foundation you know we've had life change institute where thousands who were addicted to drugs were set free men and women it is your giving that makes the difference in the lives of others and blesses the work of god but here's what you got to see it also brings a blessing upon your family i got about 10 of y'all who believe that that when i'm sowing it blesses the work of god but it also brings a blessing upon your family and the question that we want to ask today is does our kingdom giving have generational impact you know we say we're generational conscious church and and we're generational minded does our kingdom giving have generational impact can you go back to matthew chapter 5 because i want to look back at this text where jesus is teaching and what he says in matthew chapter 5 verse 14 it says that we're to be the light of the world that's self-explanatory right and we're and we are like light that dispels darkness making the difference in dark situations that we are to be the light that makes the darkness in dark situations like a candle lights a room you ought to be making a difference in situations let's put that scripture up because i want you to see something interesting about what the scripture says matthew 5 14 says uh it says neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel but on a candlestick and it give it light unto all that are in the house house it give it light to all that are in the house throughout the bible you see the word house mentioned and house in scripture is often used metaphorically remember joshua said it he said as for me and my house will serve the lord and so he wasn't talking about a physical house structure like we think that we live in he wasn't talking about that what he was saying is that as for me and my family we're going to serve the lord so when i let my light shine then that lets me know that my light will shine and give light to all my family so i can boldly say i make the difference in my family so let's talk about this house when we see house in scripture because it's a term that's used to refer to family so in essence jesus is teaching us that our light should have an effect on our family and we should make the difference in our family's quality of life through our giving see through your giving you make the difference on the quality of your life in your family you know apostles use the story last week of the widow giving the cake to the prophet because that is a form of kingdom giving it was that giving that made the difference in her situation and the scripture says that after she obeyed the man of god and made the cake for him the scripture says that she the widow the prophet he the prophet and her house her family did eat many days in the in the king james version it says and she and he and her house did eat many days in the new living translation it says she elijah and her family continue to eat for many days even in the message translation it says that it turned out that as he said daily food for her and her family was provided and that the bottle that god promised was fulfilled to the letter exactly as elijah had declared it was her kingdom giving that made the difference in her family and some of you are where you are today because of the prayers and the seeds sown of your family you know apostle tells the story and tells his testimony and i'm so grateful that i can share his testimonies until i get some of my own on some topics and even when i get some of my own i'm still going to tell his testimonies because i can do that the bible says we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony and so apostle tells the testimony of how my grandmother was a faithful partner of oral roberts university see listen helen baylor wasn't the only person with a praying grandmother we some of them don't know no they know it cause they on tick-tock cause they'd be watching the tick tock night with everybody tell me and i had a praying grandmother and my head hit the wall boom y'all didn't see anything that's not the only person who had a praying grandmother that really is a christian song that everybody use it on tick tock now to make fun of but we are where we are today because of the prayers of generations before us and so my father tells the testimony about how my grandmother uh would sow seed to oral roberts and in fact as a boy he could remember taking the partner envelope that she had put her offering in and met putting in the mailbox so that it could go back to the evangelistic association and so in latter years he's there our apostle is there uh on the governing board of oral roberts university which was a very prestigious and high honor when uh you know dr roberts has been here with us before but one day apostle was sitting there with the who's who in the body of christ you got john hagee you got kenny copeland you got creflo dollar all prominent business uh individuals from across the country and god spoke to our apostle and said you are here because of your mother seed i i want you to take that in that even in all of his accolades accolades and accomplishment because i'm not taking anything away from apostle because we know what apostle has done no man can do the things that he has done except god be with him but he had enough to hear the voice of god say you are here because of the seed of your mother and many of you you are where you are today because your mother your grandmother somebody in your family decided i'm gonna make the difference with my planting so will you take up on the responsibility to affect generations after you because there is power and seed sown in faith that has generational impact there is a power in a of a seed sown in faith that has generational impact and so for the next few moments i got to get you to the place where you understand that you make the difference in your family when you plant and so we're approaching november right i just told you about that because i really believe that today's lesson god is going to use this lesson today to prepare us for november time of giving november stellar sunday november 14th is not just another sunday but it's the time that you're going to sow your seed that's going to impact generations it's going to be the game changer for your family see you know i just as i'm teaching i'm amazed we got to make sure you can say your last name and put your last name because it's a seed that's going to change the game for your whole household and our goal on that sunday is to raise 1 million 1.1 million dollars and our giving like never before has generational impact and significance i just need you in faith with me that is done i got two points today my first point is the kingdom promises of god are generational impactful the kingdom promises of god are generational impactful what does that mean because i know you hear me use the word generations often in all of its forms but i'm referring to both your family generation and the upcoming generations around you and so in various cases i'll be a little bit more specific but the focus of this message is on the future impact of what we do right now because what we do right now makes the difference in our future remember we are kingdom individuals we are in the kingdom of god we have rights privileges and authority that others don't have and jesus promised that when we will respect the kingdom order and seek first the kingdom of god that then there should be no worry about other things but everything that we need or desire will be added unto us that's in matthew 6 33 so when we seek first the kingdom and we live our lives according to the order and the authority that has been given to us then the things that we need and desire in our life will be added unto us so that means that we've got to get a revelation of the generational kingdom ripple effect of our actions see there's a generational kingdom ripple effect of the actions that we take see the word of god is filled with references of how your present actions will impact future generations of a family and of a nation see don't limit this to just the people with your last name you got to understand that your seed has family generation but also generations coming after you impact you know have you ever i know some of y'all may have played outside when outs going outside was popular and you would throw a rock into a a stagnant body of water and when you would throw that rock or that pebble into a stagnant body of water it's amazing that you you see the splash but if you look a little closer you'll see a ripple effect from the little pebble going into a body of water well so it is in our lives that when we act upon the word of god and we take the word of god and put it to work then it has a ripple effect of god's blessings on our family our descendants and generations to come i i need you to get that see i need you to get your thoughts and lined up knowing that god's order is not just to bless you but he wants to bless you he wants to bless your family he wants to bless your descendants for generations to come beyonce is not the only one that her children children and her grandchildren rich the people of god your children's children ought to be rich why because your choices will have a ripple effect on your family that's what deuteronomy 30 19 says i call heaven and earth to record this day against you that i've set before you life and death blessings and curses therefore choose life that both thou and thy seed may live and when you look at it in the niv it says that your children may live that sounds like a ripple effect that when i make a choice today it's going to affect my family and my children after me the bible also lets me know that god desires to bless you and your children so some of the scriptures i may not get to them i may just quote up but you need to write them down when they come on the screen or take a picture so that you can go back to them but psalms 112 1 says praise you the lord blessed is the man that feared the lord that delighted greatly in his commandments his seed shall be mighty upon the earth the generation of the upright shall be blessed wealth and riches shall be in his house wealth and riches shall be in his family and his righteousness endured forever it sounds like a ripple effect that god desires to bless you and your children make a note of psalms 115 12-14 because it says the lord will increase you more and more you and your children so i understand that my choices have a ripple effect on my family god desires to bless you and your family here's the third thing god wants us to share our testimony with future generations to raise their expectation he wants you to tell what the lord has done for you and testify so that you can raise the expectation of future generations i i need you to see this go over to psalms 22 i'm going to read it out of the amplified version but every time you talk about where god has taken you from i'm so glad the apostle doesn't stop showing the little raggedy building or doesn't stop telling people because you know some people get arrived and they act like they never came from the ghetto but he's he'll tell you he's from fifth ward texas mama's from cashmere guard but it's their testimony that we see of where god has brought them from that now raises the expectation of future generations the bible says in psalms 22 30 posterity shall serve him they shall tell of the lord to the next generation they shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people yet to be born that he has done it that it is finished the scripture says you got to share what the lord has done so it raises your expectation raises the expectation of future generations it's a ripple effect see the children of the light see money totally different see many of y'all grew up at a time when they put the table out front and you'd have to walk by the table and people thought they was really doing some when they put in five dollars but the children of the light who've heard the testimonies of others and who witnessed stellar sunday and who are there they're not saying i want to give five dollars they're looking forward to giving their own thousand dollar seed because it has expanded their expectation of what's possible here's the one that i like even anointings are transferable within families i know this is a touchy subject because we've let society tell us that a family working together and people putting favorite treatment of family members is nepotism but the scripture is clear that anointings are transferable within family so in the world you hear the negative talk about nepotism which is that favorite treatment of family members which in many arenas is not allowed i understand it's restricted in politics and business but in the kingdom of god i can plainly see that god uses families go over to first chronicle go to second timothy one but i'll just cite this for you first chronicles 12 verse 13 it was the and the children of israel which were men that had understanding of the times to know what israel ought to do all their brethren were at their commandments and so uh the bible says the heads of them were 200 they were all anointed exodus talks about how aaron and his sons were consecrated and anointed and the bible says here in timid second timothy 1 5 and i'm calling up memories of your sincere and unqualified faith the leaning of your entire personality on god in christ and absolute trust and confidence in his power wisdom and goodness a faith that first lived permanently in the heart of your grandmother lois and your mother eunice and now i am fully persuaded dwells in you also so i don't care what the world says about it what the scripture lets me know is that anointings are transferable within families god used moses and his siblings aaron and miram for the emancipation of israel from egypt god used david and his sons to reign as the royal family over israel god used jesus and his family yup that's right james was the brother of jesus and the first pastor of the church of jerusalem we always say it abraham the god of abraham isaac and jacob god does not tolerate misbehavior in a family he does not tolerate what others won't do right and use their favor appropriately that's why we see eli and his renegade sons were rebuked and replaced but when there is righteousness and uprightness god will place an anointing and use families and that anointing will be transferred within the family i don't know about you but i'm glad apostle didn't let the world's negativity make him scale back but he understood and passed to be understood and they have opened up the door for me for my siblings so that we can fulfill our purpose and can you for a moment with me i know it may not be a big thing for you but it's a big thing to me can we applaud the wisdom and obedience of apostle that he obeyed god to pass the baton and he did not let the world's way of doing things make him miss out on what god said but he obeyed god and passed the baton of pastoral leadership to me his female daughter a female a feminine female to lead a mega church he didn't let gender he didn't let the prejudice of saints he didn't let society change the order of god but what he understood that if god could anoint the sons and the daughters of zelophehad surely there will be anointing within his family and don't just cheer for me the bottom line is this there is an intended blessing on the family tree but it starts with one person choosing to be righteous and as pastor b say you got to declare i'll be the one you are the righteous person in the family you are the one that will make a difference and your faithfulness and your faith will set your family up for favor i'm talking to somebody this morning i don't care who's in your family line i don't care what has been going on you got to decide i'm going to make the difference in my family i don't care if you come from a bunch of thugs i don't care if you come from a bunch of loose people you got to decide i'm going to make the difference i'm going to be righteous so that the favor of god can show up for my family and to every single person in here don't you tune me out and say maybe this message is not for me cause i don't have kids you'll be the whole the one that changes the whole turn of your family he don't need you to be married to turn the whole tide of your family he's just looking for a righteous person who will make a decision that i will please god i'm going to expect god to bless me to rescue my children to rescue my siblings and because of me there's a protection on my family you got to release your faith for it then you can make a difference the bible says uh in in proverbs 11 21 the hand joint at hand the wicked shall not be unpunished but the seed of the righteous is delivered i'm so grateful that my parents did not uh not give up on what god said about their family when i was going through my dumb day there are some stories that y'all won't ever find out but at 16 the cops had to follow me home because i was driving 94 in the 45 zone they didn't throw away their faith and say oh well no no see the righteous is delivered when i was in college walling out they didn't throw away their faith mom prayed a little bit harder and sent me a bunch of notes the seed of the righteous is delivered i don't know who i'm talking to this morning but i'm here to tell you because you about to throw away your faith cause your child is not looking like you thought they would look and things are not turning right you got to stay committed and know that your children are set apart for future blessings it doesn't matter what it looks like right now i'm here to tell you you got to hold fast to the promise of god you cannot let what's going on make you get off track they will move by your intercession so i'm talking to a mama this morning you make the difference when you intercede i'm talking to a dad this morning you make the difference when you're praying i'm talking to some siblings this morning you make the difference when you pray for each other i'm asking you this morning don't you give up because of what it looks like stand strong in the word make the difference for your family because the report of the scripture is that generational kingdom has a general there's kingdom uh generational kingdom ripple effective actions when you look in the bible not only do we see it in precept but we see it in example now god is not limited to just using family generations to bless and to partner with you you may not come from a family that took advantage of the right righteous heritage but you're in the family of the light and as long as you're connected to this church the blessings on the head flow down that's why you want to be in the right church and not be in a church family that's just going to give you a bunch of cliches and talk about how bad it is you want to be in an environment of faith because the generational blessing on your family starts with you and who you connected to god is willing to use whoever he will come to him and through their obedience he'll bless the family he'll bless them the bible talks about it i told you about moses and his family but the scripture bears record of god blessing and anointing a family line to advance aspects of the kingdom of god so you look in the bible god gets in covenant with abraham and it affects his descendants the bible lets us know that's why we always say god of abraham isaac and jacob there were the 12 tribes of israel because there was a promise that was made to him and all his heirs it's the undeniable order of god to bring blessings on the descendants of the faithful you go over and you find god gets in covenant with david and it affects his descendants because it is the undeniable order of god to bring blessings on the descendants of the faithful god gets in covenant with a man named heman of one of the chief musicians and god uses heman and his first 14 sons and three daughters as musicians in the temple because it is the undeniable order of god to bring blessings on the descendants of the faithful it is the undeniable order of god that he will bless you and your descendants if you're faithful that's why you can say boldly i make the difference in my family when a faithful one i plant so the kingdom principle of giving is generationally impactful and so that's what we want to look at in our final moments because god calls down a blessing that is on the house that is on the family for our faithfulness and giving and i need you to really tune in for the next few moments because i'm going to expand your perspective on the giving moment that when your offering leaves your hand it sets in motion the favor of god to bless you but also to bless your generations that when i saw that there's a favor there's a blessing that comes upon my life but also generations after me and just to know this is not enough you have to be intentional to release your faith that the your faithfulness and giving into the kingdom of god will rebound blessings to you and your family you know apostle during the go over to ezekiel 44 because you got to see this apostle said it during the the summit and it's so so awesome that you got to say it you got to see it you got to shout it you got to seal it and just yesterday i was i was i was on facebook one of the girls that grew up in our church i didn't even know her story but she said because i was at the light and i've been taught the word i had an addiction i've been free for two years from drinking but i wanted to step into this field of work but because of my past i could not get the job but my fam my church taught me the word to stand on the word and my mom and my aunt were praying for me and every day we get on the phone and pray that the the position that she was not qualified for she got her approval letter that if they turned the whole situation around for her to take the exam despite her background because of her prayers her being in this church and her family sowing seeds so i've got to understand that it is my kingdom giving that rebounds blessings back into my family that rebounds blessings on my family ezekiel 44 30 it says and the first of all the first fruits of all kinds and every offering of all kinds from all your offerings shall belong to the priests you shall also give to the priest the first of your course meal and bread dough and that a blessing may rest on your house now here is the scripture that we use as we talk about a first fruit type of offering that uh we give each year based on the prophetic mandate that was given to our apostle and when he passed the baton to me because i understand the power of it we continue it to this day and we'll continue it and so every year as a church family twice a year in the spring and the fall we sow our first fruit sacrificial offerings our first fruit sacrificial offerings here at the light does not go to me it goes to the church i know in the scripture you see it but remember we're operating a principle in the scripture and so the first fruit sacrificial offering operated as a principle here at new life that goes to new light church for the work of the kingdom of god and ezekiel 44 verse 30 in the nirv translation says the best of every first share of the people's crops will belong to the priests so will all their special gifts and the people must give the priests the first share of their ground meal then i will bless my people's family that lets me know that there's a blessing that comes on your family when you sow your first fruit type offering now let me break this down for you because i'm going to teach you later because you got to take some time to teach first fruit offering but i don't want you to miss the power of your first fruit type seed because of what you heard and the erroneous information i want you to see that god will bless your family because of your faithfulness in your giving see giving does not buy a blessing from god but it is your faithfulness and honoring god as a source and sustaining of your life that rebounds blessings rebounds heaven's blessings on you and your family but you have to receive it and appropriate it by faith so let's understand this because your goal right now is to be a kingdom giver see you make the difference when you're a kingdom giver and kingdom giving is the individual choice to obey god and to fully participate in god's scripture plan of sowing and reaping at all levels fully intending to glorify god so when i give offerings it's a part of the fabric of the christian faith both in the old and new testament but i want you to expand it beyond that because see giving offerings should not be done out of uh just out of duty but your giving offering should be done out of an attitude of a love for god see when i give i'm giving because i'm honoring god as the source and sustainer of my life and my livelihood i understand i'm where i am today because he gave it to me i understand i'm where i am today because of his goodness so out of the love that i have for god i don't have a slack on my giving because i can't beat god-given we go through the bible you see that giving should be done systematically that means the tithing and the giving on a regular basis based on the increase that you receive so from your job from government money from gifts even from winnings a lot of winnings some of y'all don't act like y'all don't play the lotto now i'm not encouraging you to play but you ought to tithe on all your increase that's what the bible says and bring ye all the tithe into the storehouse leviticus 27 30 says and all the tithe of the land belongs to the lord just saying giving should be done systematically it should be done sacrificially and that's what we do twice a year we give our over and above offering and god gave apostle this mandate in 1995 and we still do it to this day and when i tell you i can hardly wait till november 14th because i know when you sow yes it's going to change the game for your whole family it's gonna change the game it's gonna make a difference because when you give over and above when you go above and beyond your initial expectation you trigger the supernatural power of god giving should be done strategically that means that i'll have seed faith giving that connects the giver to divine favor for specific promises for certain offerings that i can clearly see in the word of god this is the type of giving that's done on purpose to achieve certain goals and giving should be done spontaneously you've seen some people walk up to the altar today where there's a joyous spirit that leads people to impromptu giving it's a hallmark of the life in christ that's seen in zacchaeus that money doesn't go to me it goes to the church but you gotta understand the promises bestowed on for sacrificial giving because see when god asks us for a sacrifice he's not trying to deplete you he's trying to get more to you so you've got to understand that when i sacrifice that means i choose by calculated deliberation to make a demand on resources of time talent and treasure that i had not initially intended to commend i got to get you to see this and and as we close we're going to teach more about this but a first fruit offering is sacrificial it's above my initial expectation it's selective it's the first of the first fruit because when you look in the bible you see that it's a prized representation of a group it's a set aside portion for god as a type of firstfruit offering that god says he will do supernatural things for the rest romans 11 6 gives us paul uses this as an analogy for how god deals with humanity he says if the first fruit be holy then the rest is holy so when jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for our life his sacrifice caused a blessing caused deliverance to be upon all humanity and human humankind it is not just your first check i know some people have taught you like that but it's a selective portion so i get to select what i that selective portion of honoring god it's a sacrificial offering it's a separate offering from the tithe that's what the bible says in nehemiah 10 37 it says it's separate from the time that you should bring the first fruit and the tides so it's not the same thing it's a supernatural offering which means it invokes a sovereign participation and intervention god promises to get involved to bring positive change to your life that's why we don't take it lightly because when you sow your seed your sacrificial first fruit type offering god makes a promise that he will bring positive change into your life so pastor what are these scriptural promises i need you to go over and look at this because remember we were at ezekiel 34 we can see throughout the bible that when we honor the lord with our substance and with the first fruit of all thine increase the scripture says in proverbs 3 9 so shall thy barns be filled with plenty and thy presses shall burst out with new wine so there are seven blessings that we can see attached to our first fruit offering i'm going to teach them to you later in detail but make a note it's the flow of abundance and enough to say the scripture says that your barns are associated with your savings shall be full he'll take away the desire of the enemy to hurt you he will expand your land holdings he'll drive out opposition to your increase that means he makes room for you but when i go back to ezekiel 44 30 i see that he will place his blessing on my household that means that there will be a blessing on the on my house the scripture says that a blessing may rest on your house a consecrated blessing also on the rest of your increase and supply and he will cause supernatural supply in the kingdom of god but i want to deal with this blessing shout out blessing because you got to understand the posterity blessing of sacrificial giving because it's crystal clear from the scripture that there are promised blessings for the family unit that are not automatic but we must appropriate them by faith the blessing that we're talking about the blessing is a type of intangible spiritual anointing that produces success and prosperity in life there's protection in life through an entitlement to the favor of god the blessing is a dynamic term that can be used to refer also to tangible things or intangible anointing you've heard people say it hey look at my car it's a blessing hey look at my house it's a blessing and that's a correct use of the word but what i'm talking about right now is the blessing it's much more than an object or thing the blessing creates the blessed state which is an entitlement an entitlement is an advantage or favor to possess a set aside of something or value we can only release faith for those things that we are entitled to and i'm here to tell you that when you make the difference and you give sacrificially the bible says that the blessing will rest upon your house scriptural manifestation of the blessing anointing is seen all throughout the word of god you look at the blessing anointing that was spoken on abraham in genesis 12 and 2 it says and i will make you a great nation and i will bless you with abundance and favor and make your name famous and distinguished and you will be a blessing dispensing good to others you look at malachi it says the blessing anointing is attached to our offerings it says bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse that there may be meat in my house and prove me now herewith saith the lord of hosts if i will not open you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing surely that's not something tangible because if it was money we would all make room for money that blessing is that intangible favor of god anointing of god where you can rebuke the devourer for your sake and the scripture says and all nations shall call you blessed don't you minimize the blessing from your giving you look at the writer of proverbs the writer the proverb says about the blessing that the blessings of the lord proverbs 10 and 22 make a note the blessing of the lord it make it rich and it added no sorrow with it you look at the effect of the blessing on jabez jay bass came from nothing his mama named him sorry but he understood that that intangible that intangible anointing on his life would make the difference because in first chronicles 4 jabez called on the god of israel saying oh that thou would bless me indeed and enlarge my coast and that thine hand might be with me and that thou me would keep me from evil that it may not grieve me and god granted him that which he requested shout out the blessing their scriptural manifestation of the blessing their situational manifestation of the blessing can we go to the widow's house because i want you to see what happened when she gave her first fruit type offering remember she's there and the prophet says make me a cake first that means that's a first fruit type of offering that she gives to the prophet and when she gives the first cake to the prophet the blessing rests on her house and i need you to kind of picture this with your spiritual imagination picture and overshadow taking place over her house remember there's a famine in the land so there's more than enough in her house in tough times and i need you to picture this this overshadowing of her house because her house and her family are protected from the famine and from the drought and when her son dies he's raised up from the dead showing that her house is off limits from destruction there's a blessed scriptural manifestation of the blessing anointing their situation manifestation of the blessing anointing but here's the good part there is supernatural manifestation of the blessed anointing see you are the catalyst for this anointing when you give sacrificially it is amazing to know that my giving brings a blessing on my family and that's what excites me to know in my children will never know what luck is because of the blessing on my family see i make the difference and i cause a blessing to overshadow my house my family when i give sacrificially and when you look throughout the scripture which uh you see people and what was prize most among our heroes and sheroes of faith was the blessing because it is the blessing that makes the difference each patriarch in their own life had an exciting and compelling story but in reality it was the blessing that made the difference can we walk through some of the patriarchs you know abraham he was a moon worshiper matter of fact and he was a liar but god used him to give birth to a world of believers and called him the father of faith because the blessing made the difference moses was just an orphan a fugitive recruited by god but it was the blessing that made the difference gideon was a coward with an inferiority complex but god used him to miraculously liberate his people because it was the blessing on his life that made the difference the woman at the well y'all know her story she had a raggedy pass but she was used by god to win others because it was a blood the blessing that made the difference david was just a youth that his family discounted but he was chosen by god and it was the blessing on his life the anointing on his life that made the difference the disciples were just working fishermen who everyone counted out but they touched the world why it was the blessing that made the difference hannah mary she was a married woman with a big dream that nobody believed in but god used her mightily because the blessing was on her life and that made the difference the three hebrew boys they were teenagers in captivity who refused to compromise and god used them as a witness to a heathen nation why because the blessing on their life made the difference joseph was a gifted ex-con who came from a dysfunctional family to become the prime minister of egypt and save a nation why because it was the blessing that made the difference esther was an ex-slave with a secret past that could have disqualified her but it was the blessing that made the difference elijah was a nobody from nowhere that god used to save a nation because the blessing made a difference your pastor yes i'm a female passionate mega church others may not think i'm qualified but when you look closer you understand it's the blessing that makes the difference i'm talking to somebody this morning because you figured out every reason why you shouldn't be who you should be and why god shouldn't use you but i'm here to tell you that god will use you and it's the blessing that makes the difference jesus was born in due time rejected by the world criticized by the haters but god used him to save the world why because the blessing made the difference you got to understand it's the blessing that makes the difference others will scratch their head and try to figure out but i make the difference for my family when i plan because there's a blessing that comes upon my life and the blessing makes the difference greatest example of all this teaching is to see how god gives his son jesus to bless his family and bring redemption to mankind but to think about it like this that the reality is before god asks you to give anything he's done all the giving that by the time he asks you for your life for salvation he's done all the giving by the time he asks you for a seed and a sacrificial offering he's done all the giving let's just think about it he gave us life he's done all the giving he gave us faith that we can move mountains he's done the giving he gave us hope so we can have confidence in a better tomorrow he gave us love unconditionally he gave us forgiveness to cover a multitude of sin he gave us mercy so that we don't get the punishment that we deserve he gave us grace that's new every morning he gave us redemption on the cross he gave us justification he gave us sanctification he gave us his son jesus so by the time he asked you for your yes he's done all the giving all along those saints used to say it like this you can't beat god give it no matter how hard you try because the more you give the more he gives to you you just got to keep on giving because it's really true you can't be god-given no matter how hard you try and you can hear a lesson about the blessing when you take the step of faith and let it go by you or you can choose that i'll be the one that'll make a deliberate decision that positions me for the entitlement of the blessing of the lord nothing happens until you make a deliberate step of faith i really like the woman with the issue of blood because the bible says that she said to herself if i could just touch the hem of his garment i know i'll be made whole after trying doctor after doctor and remedy after remedy she did not let that disappointment make hadak take the deliberate step for deliverance but the bible says that even with society not accepting her bold step of faith she pressed through the crowd to get to jesus she thought about it but she stepped out and she watched god work i'm just looking for somebody this morning you won't just cannot just stay in your thoughts that knowing god wants to bless you but you're gonna take the step of faith that'll make the difference for your family that'll make the difference for your future it's what we do to get saved you got to take the step of faith and when you take the step he changes your life around it's what you do to get healed you take the step of faith to apply the blood of jesus and heal and manifest you take the step of faith to be successful to say not my will but your will be done and success shows up to trust the plan of god and i'm just looking for somebody this morning who says god i want the blessing on my life so i'm going to do whatever it takes i'm going to be bold in my faith i'm going to be bold in my sewing i'm going to be bold in my trusty and watch god work in your life takes a step it just takes you stepping out on faith to trust god that god has more for you than your pedigree but he'll do greater because of your one step he'll do greater in your family he'll do greater in your children that blessing on your family and on your life requires you to take the step can i get everybody standing in this place because there's a blessing that requires a step if you'll take the step forward you'll watch god that intangible blessing it's not about a feeling but it's about a confidence that i know that i've got the blessing on my life that makes the difference that whatever i put my hands to it will prosper whatever i touch god's gonna make it good that god's gonna order my steps and take me into territory and to places that he's working behind the scene there's a favor that comes on my life that people that don't even like you will go out of their way to bless you but it requires you taking the step that god puts your name on the minds of people that you don't even know because you took the bold step to say yes to the lord and with every head bowed and every eye closed i'm looking for some individuals this morning who'll take the bold step of faith to say yes to the lord and give your life to the lord maybe you've been off track you can be the one that say get your whole family safe but he's waiting on your yes because remember we have to release and appropriate it by faith and faith requires that we do something so this morning i'm looking for some individuals who say pastor i don't know jesus as my personal lord and savior and the blessings are though for those who say yes to his plan that that anointing is is when you say yes you can see it manifest and kick in and overdrive in your life because he brings you into the company of things you need to know and that he surrounds you and he he's there with you you're not in this world by yourself but your spirit is alive to god and you've got a partner working on your case to take your life to the next level so i have several invitations because i need many of you to take that step so that you can experience the blessing that god has for you the first step is for those people who say i'm not saved but i want to be saved i need you to be bold and take that step today there's a group that you need to rededicate your life to the lord on today i need you to be bold to take that step your one step towards this altar will change the whole trajectory of your life change the trajectory of your family i i know you look at our family and say wow how did that happen because one person two people decided to take the step and you gotta be bold enough to take the step to say hey i'm not gonna stay stuck in my mess but god is so amazing that when we rededicate our lives doesn't put us at the back of the line but it puts us back in line and maybe you're here today and you need a church to walk alongside of you as you take the steps of deliberate faith knowing that there's a blessing on your life i'd love to be your pastor teach you the things of god grow show you how to grow in the things of god and so i'm going to pray and after i pray i'll count to three and for those of you who are here today and you know that you're not saved but you want to be i want you to meet me at the altar i promise i'll do nothing to embarrass your cause any shame i'm looking for at least five individuals whether they're in here or online watching online that'll take that deliberate step of faith you can think god has a better plan but until you do it nothing's gonna change and this is a sunday morning that god has arranged for you to
