today is entitled seeing victory the theme for 2021 is seeing the kingdom and the message today is seeing victory seeing victory please say i see victory last week we talked about seeing faith everyone say seeing faith and the week before we talked about seeing transformation say seeing transformation so today we are dealing with seeing victory i'm in second samuel chapter number 23 this is the list of david's mighty men of valor starting from verse nine and after him was eliezer the son of dodo the o height a who white one of the three mighty men with david not of david none one of the three mighty men with david is the difference of be there's a difference being of and with they were with david from the beginning when they defied the philistines that were gathered together to battle and the men of israel were gone away he arose and smote the philistines until his hand was wary and he clave and his hand clay to the sword and the lord wrought a great victory that day and the lord wrought a great victory that day please say that and the lord brought a great victory that day say like you want to victor be victorious and the people returned after him only to get money they didn't want to help in the battle verse 11 after him hashem the son of aguilar herrera writes and the philistines were gathered together into a troop where was a piece of ground full of lentils and the people fled from the philistines but shama stood in the midst of the ground and defended it and slew the philistines and the lord wrought a great victory please say that please say it with a little bit of conviction first john 5 and verse 4 first john 5 4. first john 5 4. very intriguing he doesn't say for whosoever is born of god he doesn't say for whosoever john 3 16 for gospel of the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever this doesn't say for whosoever whatsoever is born of god overcomes the world and this is the victory that overcomes the world even our faith father add a blessing to this word in jesus name when we're dealing with the subject of victory small victories add to lead to big victories we have to be victorious with things that are little in private places so we can enjoy victory in large places it's very difficult very challenging to be a human being it's more difficult as you've often heard me say that it's so difficult being an african woman on the continent it's very difficult and so for those that have achieved anything if we have any sense we'll give god the glory for it there are many that prosper that don't know god and have enjoyed material victory but the victory they have not enjoyed is to overcome in areas of the world demonic struggle demonic challenge many don't even know they have a challenge many of them don't know that it is needful and necessary to be born again and so victory then is in our case surrendering your heart and your soul to the lord jesus christ and so we make the confession of faith and we make a declaration that jesus is lord of our lives we confess with our mouth and we believe in our hearts that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god and so the the whole agency of salvation and being a believer becomes an interesting one because jesus died for and john 1 29 behold the lamb of god that takes away the sin of the world there's a difference between the sin of the world and the sins of mankind jesus died to remove the sin of the world which was to succumb the son of the world is rebellion that's the sin of the world rebellion the world rebelled against god and jesus came to remove the sin of the world and the way he did that was the opposite of rebellion which is total and absolute submission submission he rendered his body his life his will his everything to the father and because he had submitted him himself to the father wherefore god had highly exalted him a person should not be highly exalted if they've not totally submitted and so we submit and through submission we gain elevation that that submission initially uh is laying ourselves down we lay our lives down we lay our resources down for the greater good of someone else and so the older we get the more we can have a testimony of various victories that god has given us in our lives our sharing with the very able singers and psalmists that present to us today that next year i will be celebrating 49 years in ministry 49 years in ministry which are seven seven-year sabbaths and can you imagine what's going to happen in my 50th year of ministry i shall meet you there let's go to first chronicles chapter number 29 and verse 11. victory is seen what we pray in private god brings public what we do in private god brings to a public platform and so the writer of uh the writer of chronicles is possibly samuel neither year no there is quoting the words here of the great king thine o lord is the greatness then oh lord is the power thine oh lord is the glory thine oh lord is the victory everyone say the victory say the victory thing o lord is the majesty for all that is in the heaven all that is in the earth is yours thine yours is the kingdom o lord and you are exalted as head over all verse 12 both riches and honor come of you they go together and so when you show honor and you give honor you attract riches and you reign over all that's what they sang he reigns over all the earth and in you in your hands in your being is power and might so god joined together riches and honor god join together power and might and in your hand you have the ability and you have the willingness to make great oh yes and to give strength to all say lord give me strength say lord give me strength and so this individual that wrote that or said that is the great king based on his experience thine oh lord is the greatness not greatness there's a difference between greatness and the greatness and so if you are praying that god will make you great he will but as i've said many many times on this platform in other places spider-man 1 teaches us the great truth with great power comes great responsibility what responsibility is made of two words responding to your ability and so when god gives you great power you have to respond to your ability in a in a significant way and then we go to verse 12 of first chronicles 29 both riches and honest say riches and honor what god has joined together let not man put asunder and so god put together riches and honor they come of you not from you they come of you so the more you get of god the more you get of riches and of honor the the greatest ministries i know in the world and have met so many they have riches but what has got them there is honor and you reign overall of course you guys didn't know this was my message and the song you sang or will sing you reign over all did you think that already you did he reigns overall and in uh in you in you in you is power and might power and might power and might and in your hand is the ability to make great if you want to pray this prayer you can say lord make me great and he will he will and you give strength to all so when we deal with seeing the victory victory means that you have been in a fight you can't get a victory without a fight and so as you all know i'm a liverpool supporter and for us a victory is fourth place and when we got that fourth place we were jumping and shouting and screaming and i'm so glad manchester united lost because they are the same as us they won nothing and so they won we won but we won nothing but it's a victory and for us as liverpool supporters a victory is forth how can you celebrate coming forth but it's an achievement i was watching uh the football game yesterday and brent would qualify to come into the premier league after how many attempts for so many years and the fact that they just qualified qualified is a huge financial gain of over 150 million dollars and so many of those players the whole team is now in the window and for them after so many attempts of trying to get into the premier league which is uh for american soccer in trying to get into the premier league after so many attempts they finally succeeded and it's a victory for them but you have to see the victory you can't go into a fight knowing are going to lose and so i was watching a certain movie some years ago of a certain fighter in a box he was a street fighter got into the boxing world which was basically street fighting and uh he was winning and then the guy that actually brought him into that world said to him you've got to throw the fight because the two guys that had never lost are now gonna fight and you have to throw the fight and he refused to throw the fight in other words there are uh victories that allegedly are fixed and if there's any fixing that's taking place is because god will have fixed it but for you as an individual you have to see the victory in the middle of of despair and challenge and trial you have to see the victory jesus didn't go to the cross defeated he went to the cross knowing three days from now i will get out of the grave he testified that so many times except a grain of wheat fall to the ground and die it abideth alone so he was willing to sow his life so that we as many as received him could become the sons of god and we celebrate our victory through his victory and so i want to go now to romans chapter number eight let's pick up verse 15 find that for me romans chapter eight and verse number fifteen he's talking about overcoming here and overcoming sin and for you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear but you have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry abba father and so we don't walk after fear we don't walk after the elements and condiments of the world let's go to the next verse please keep that going for me for the spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of god verse 17 and if children heirs and heirs of god and joint heirs with christ if so be that we suffer with him last verse that we may be also glorified together and so what we're saying here that that we we suffer with christ so that we can be glorified with christ and so the writer then declares that sin will not have dominion over us nothing will have dominion over us there was a man in the 80s that had a serious struggle with cigarettes smoking cigarettes and he was taught when we started teaching faith and confessing with your mouth he was talked that you have to say to the cigarette you will not have dominion over me because nothing will have dominion over me the only entity that will have dominion over me is almighty god we submit ourselves to leadership structures whether it's government or whether it's church we submit ourselves to family structures but there's no human being that has to have the kind of dominion over you where you don't have a say you don't have a right you can't uh move into a place where your gift is is used and magnified and so on a daily basis i say poverty will not have dominion over me sin will not have dominion over me the works of the flesh will not have dominion over me my appetites whatever they are whether it's hunger thirst food sexual pleasure those will not have dominion over me what must have dominion over me is god and he alone because if we lean towards the flesh we will self-destruct and so we we we clear we declare and we state non-categorically that we submit willingly to almighty god and that no simple thing will have dominion over us and so i was singing to him in my prayer yesterday morning victory in jesus my savior forever and so we sing that we have victory in jesus christ saying we've got the victory i've got the victory the victory the victory and it's more than a song it's about an experience it's about overcoming it's about going from one battle to the next and so psalm 98 and verse 1 sing unto the lord sing unto the lord a new song sing unto the lord for he has done marvelous things sing unto the lord because his right hand uh his right hand and his holy arm hath gotten him the victory and so we have victory through almighty god we have victory through his word we have victory through the blood of the lamb we are overcomers because of those things shalt i have the victory and so we have then victory through judgment we now read matthew 12 and verse 20. matthew 12 and verse 20 a bruised reed shall he not break and a smoking flax he will not quench so he sends forth judgment to victory and so every one of us we are like a reed well i could read i remember when we were uh i was putting in a fish pond in our backyard and uh it was just like it's a big kind of a pond and uh we needed some reeds in there to breathe some life into the little tilapia we had bought and so along the main road going to rua there's a place where there's water constantly and so i went with our gardener and we dug out some reeds and while we were doing that we bruised one of the reeds put a mark on the reed and so every one of us we are like a reed we have been bruised by life a bruise is not like a cut a bruise is internal bleeding where the bleeding doesn't come out it's inside and many in this room many listening to this message you have huge bruises because of life bruised because of betrayal bruised because of disappointment bruised because your hope is is not being fulfilled your dreams are not being met your vision is struggling to come into fulfillment but a breathed route he will not break no matter how much pressure you are under in the floods the flood will not break you the storm will not break you best of all you will be bruised you will be bruised but in the bruising god will not forsake you a smoking flex is where there's a little bit of a spark and uh where where you blow into the fire and you take a little bit of grass maybe some paper and you may not have a match when i was a scout way back then for seven days they gave us five matches five matches and you have to somehow survive and they were all these things where you drum sticks and you make a fire and all of that or you use a magnifying glass and so on the the object is that you can't depend on on a match strike to solve your problems you have to go through the process and and sometimes when there's just a small spark you have to like blow and you have to get very close and blow [Music] and there are people that still do that today where you have to get the fire going where you have to blow in to get your testimony revived blow in to get your life your your marriage your family you're struggling because there's so many you are supporting as an individual and you are the sole survivor of the cover challenge the sole survivor and you were almost on the place of death uh cisco uh who is at the church in uh cisco and mary there at the church with webster again clint view you have to help me because we have to edit this out anyway uh we got a message said that cisco had passed away and we were totally distraught and cisco then told me he told me when uh because i phoned jermaine ferreira and said cisco has passed away and he was oh no my goodness and jermaine was having a meltdown and we then discovered that it wasn't cisco from the church again yeah yes view east view yes yes east view please make sure you edit that properly uh and we learned that the cisco that had passed away was the one that was cutting hair and it's not that we don't like the cisco that was cutting here it's just that i thought about cisco because of the small kids they had the way they were serving us when we did the conference there and then he told me said you know what bishop he said i was supposed to be dead he said i had covert i was in the hospital at wilkins uh no at beatrice and he said i went into a coma he said when i came out of the coma he said the people said to me there you are so blessed because of all the people that were there you were the only one that survived the only one so what is it about this young man god was is blowing on on the little spark blowing on his life and i said to him you know what you have to be so much more responsible with the things that god has given you god has given you the victory and you have to see the victory there is a purpose why you are still here in the midst of so many that have passed away and died we are still in a quandary and in total confusion as to the reason why a young man like andrew bernard had to die why of whatever reason and and there's a reason why you are still here twenty wouldn't even say there's a reason virginia there's a reason you are still here there is a reason but you have to see that you have to focus on that you have to purpose in your mind that it is there there are many many little victories coming into great victories and so the battle is not yours it's the lord's the fact that you are a survivor out of slavery the fact that you were survivor out of the wilderness the fact that you were survivor after being chased around for so many years by king saul the fact that you are a survivor of uh gross neglect and rejection means that there's something significant and special come in your life please say i have to see the victory say that you're gonna have to see the victory and so we sing victory in jesus we sing victory by the blood of jesus we sing victory in the uh in the backdrop of insurmountable odds we see victory where there's no vote of confidence on our life we see victory when the the deck is stacked against us we see victory when it's unlikely that we we should prosper and succeed but we see that victory we see it significantly and we thank god for it and so uh in my closing here i want to go back to the scripture we read in first samuel 23 and verse number 9. elias the son of dodo the ahoy one of uh one of three mighty men with david everyone say i'm with you turn your name and say i'm with you amen consider who the person is before you say you are with them because you might have to inherit some of their debt and you might have to inherit some of their generational causes which they've not taken care of if you are comfortable say to your neighbor i'm with you being with somebody we need firstly we need moral support just support me i'm not asking you to give me anything just support me if you can't say anything good about me don't say anything at all just just support me support me with number one with your prayers you can't say to a person next you say i'm praying for you you can't say to a person next you say i'm praying for you say to a person next year i'm praying for you but but how are you going to say to the person i'm praying for you you don't know their name so ask the person next to you if you if you are comfortable and if you are willing to give it say what's your name single guys don't get girls don't get a name from that single guy so support me morally just support me stand with me even if you don't understand me just support me uh support my my vision if you don't agree with me and so on support me and and be careful how you put your hand on somebody's on somebody's neck because at some point they could be your boss i remember at international conference center one sunday i asked for individuals that they believed in their lifetime they would employ as many as 10 000 people i was quite shocked is the kind of people that came to there was one person that i saw there in my mind i was thinking you know this is like panga-ism and i got a little check in my spirit to say be careful what you say because god will raise up the most obscure person and you will in my case you will just criticize somebody that next week they'll get a major breakthrough and they'll remember what i'd said in the service and so we just released the blessing and my blessing was you shall employ more than 10 000 people you shall expand in your world and in your glory and in this message uh you will experience victory but you have to see the victory i i pray that god will open your eyes to see the victory and you have to be with david you have to be with him you have to be with me you have to be with pastor teacher you have to be with our kingdom cathedral program and the bible says in verse 10 he arose and smote the philistines until his hand was wary and his hand clave unto the sword and the lord wrought a great victory say that and the lord wrote a great victory say lord work victory in my life it's it's only up to god now it's only up to him to bring victory it's only in god that he'll bring a victory on that day and you will be so surprised that the people that will come and eat that have not earned the victory they will come and take from you and they have not helped you prepare they have not helped you cook they've not helped you set to the table they've not helped you get the water for washing hands uh they've they've not helped you at all but it's amazing that that you are the one that's cooked you are the ones they prepared but they are sitting there already before you even get there and you you see their behavior at a buffet uh they'll put everything on the plate salad corn flakes meat chicken river all the they're putting all in one plate and it's like there's no foods tomorrow and they haven't paid anything it's only a five dollar cost we have given them a dispensation to come in but they are first in the line and then some of them will put it in the handbag for whatever reason maybe there's people at home that haven't eaten you know but again they were not there in part of you blowing them your eyes are red you have not been sleeping you're sleeping one hour one and a half hours you've been interceding and praying for your own need but they become beneficiaries of your intercession the breakthrough that they get is because god is depending on you to pray that people in your family people in your circle can get the breakthrough and isn't it amazing that god will honor those people uh he'll bless them and honor your prayer and the reason he has not given you the breakthrough is not because god doesn't want to give you the breakthrough he needs you in struggle because he needs your intercession and so on friday when bunsen came after his procedure i was standing at the door and uh i was asking pastor chichi i said where uh where are you and so on and then i saw our worker going there danforth is a very strong man he lifted up bernie and was carrying him bunny was out of it and again our heart was being crushed and squeezed and under pressure and again in my intercession from april until now it's that child that man that has caused teaching i to be in constant prayer i would hate to think what level of prayer we would be in if we didn't have the kind of struggle and challenge my mom fasted and prayed every week tuesday wednesday thursday four years for my sister marion who had a a an impediment and even after marion died on the uh 30th of the 28th of september way back in 1981 she burnt with fire uh the pain on my mum something in my mom died that day a light went out but my mom didn't cease to pray and fast because of all the family members for me and for the rest of them didn't cease to pray and so usually the impediment is there so that you can be on your knees to pray because god needs that intercession and uh it's not like god needs anything but but the intercession as you understand me saying is to liberate the nations is to liberate to bring an end to areas of struggle so people can come into enlightenment to to break the yoke of the enemy prayer is a very important part of what we do and why we do it and and it's it's important that men ought always to pray and not to faint because that prayer then brings us into a place where when we are in the battle when we're in the heat of the struggle when we are fighting for survival when we are trying to get breakthrough when we are attempting to walk through the grace of god and the blessing of god that will overcome the enemy even our flesh and so the philistines there uh were standing with their garrisons with their armies against the king against israel but one man a standalone person came with the sword in his hand and the bible says as he was swinging his sword his hand was exhausted and tired but the lord wrought a great victory it was god that brought a gate victory there was something inherent in that man where instinctively he just kept on swinging just kept on praying just kept on believing just kept on giving just kept on discipline with the education program kept on investing in in the uh in the future and you have to be of resolve where you are determined in your life determined in your spirit that you are not going to be moved you will be psalm 1 like the tree planted established by the rivers of water you shall not be moved someone blessed is the man who walks not in the council of the ungodly nor sits in the seat of the scornful and the scripture is very important because if you if you if you walk in the the steps of the ungodly you'll be comfortable in sitting in a certain place but i like verse 3 that person shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water god is about to plant you and establish you your your tree will grow your leaf will not wither and your fruit shall abide forever you will bring forth your fruit in your season see here it comes again here comes your fruit here comes your fruit here it comes again and of course the best day of my life is coming up on june the 22nd because the people in the north all those vikings they have to give back the sun to where it actually belongs into the southern hemisphere of africa and so uh my season now is going to open the first one is going to be the mimosa flower and the next one is going to be the jacaranda flower that's so soon and then after that uh the other different plants are coming yesterday i bought african davies daisies for our yard those african daisies only come up in this season but in the month of december uh other different flowers that are seasonal come up and so now the victory is coming in your season it's the season to build ecclesiastics it's the season to gain it's the season of life we've gone through a season of death a time to die but is now a time to live a time to lose money a time to gain money a time to build a house a time to buy a house a time to drive a car a time when accidents are suspended a time when there's a cease-fire there's a cease-fire and it's a time where we build and we grow it's a time of peace it's not a time of war it's a time of prosperity it's not a time of losing it's a time when thirst is quenched and we're not struggling for thirst it's a time where we are ended with gathering two sticks and and cooking one meal but the prophetic anointing is coming to our house it's a time for twins it's a season for baby boys it's a season for elevation it's a season for the magnificence of christ it's a season where souls are going to be saved it's a season when souls are coming in salvation is coming to your family salvation is coming to your neighborhood it's a season where obedience are identifies and identified and raised up it's a season where you will fight the philistines and destroy them it's a season where soul anointing is put away but davids are being raised up it's a season for ethan's and solomon's where wisdom the principal thing is coming it's a season where hate is taken away but love is coming up it's the seasons and brothers where all the isms are being pushed aside but the blessing of god is coming in your life say i see the victory shout i see the victory we're about to celebrate the dedication of eden and idris we are going to give them away i said to eden yesterday i said eden this is the first time i'm giving your way the next time i give you away is to some man that's coming is going to be crawling one kilometer coming to pay lobola i said that's the only time i'm giving you away again oh yes but i'm praying for their blessing and their victory i pray every day for the victory in their life i pray for the victory in your life but you have to see it shava you have to see it in the world where the the market is flooded with the things that you do you have to see the victory when i heard and saw the announcement on the bbc that one of our own strife massachua has become a billionaire officially i was celebrating with him and sitsi and giving god the glory because i said within myself if god could do it for one hour alone i'm getting in the jet stream and i'm also believing that if one of our own could do it in the midst of so much trial and adversity it brought me to remembrance when i was in nigeria one time and i was going to board my flight strife came in and he said oh bishop it's good to see you he said can you please come with me and pray and we we prayed for a while they were waiting for us to board the flight and i can surely tell you that the many prayers they have prayed have brought victories in their lives and you shall receive the victory see the victory claim the victory confess the victory give to the victory amen get agreements for victory i declare victory in jesus my savior forever by the blood of jesus in the name of jesus victory is coming victory victory i got the victory i got the victory i got the victory i got the victory god has wrought a great victory in my life let me preach this out of me it's my last service here for a while let me preach it out of me i got the victory i'm climbing higher i'm going beyond kilimanjaro i'm going to everest i'm going deeper i'm going deeper i'm going wider i'm going broader i'm going in wisdom in revelation and in love i'm going in love say yes say yes clap your hands and praise him in the name in the name [Music] [Music] is [Music] [Applause] foreign [Music]
