Shift of Seasons // Seasons (Part 3)

last Sunday we talked something about seasons and I want to share with you today in the continuation of that and I'm gonna talk about Jacob and Joseph and today we're gonna touch a little bit further into Jacobs line what we're gonna talk about the children of Israel and how they were entering the promised land I have only two points and two big ideas that I wanted to share with you if you have your Bible with you would you go to Joshua chapter 1 and verse two the notes to this message are on our YouVersion Bible app if you click on events and while you are on you Version Bible app we also have reading plan from hungry generation two of them that you can read with your friends and with your family Joshua chapter one and verse two says the following Moses my servant is dead now therefore arise go over this Jordan you and all the people to the land which I am giving to them the children of Israel when Joshua entered the promised land excuse me before he entered the promised land two things started to take place one of them is that God removed Moses and the second one is that God removed manna so two ms very easy to remember Moses and manna God removed Moses God switched Moses or replaced Moses and secondly is God replaced manna manna that was a miracle from him it supplied their needs for forty years and God took manna off of the menu they no longer had it available for them and these are the two things that caused their season to change and that's what I want to talk about today this morning when God removed Moses Moses was a great blessing to them Moses was a man of God Moses was full of God he's full of miracles full of insight as great as Moses was he was not able to bring them into the promised land and God I can say remove Moses but Moses died and when he died God comes to Joshua and say hey Moses is dead I want you to see this God doesn't say after that well he died go back to Egypt God doesn't say Moses is dead well so is the Promised Land god never attaches your future to the people who leave your life god never attaches your destiny to someone who leaves you god never attaches your calling to someone who abandons you never put your future in the hands of someone who walk away from your life even if who they are is Moses even if who they are is great they are the best honestly I mean maybe it's a husband or maybe it's a wife and they left you and it wasn't your fault and you feel like so is my life my life is gone your life is not connected to those who leave you it's connected to God who stays with you God says to Joshua I am with you even though Moses is dead last last week as I was being dropped off at Charlotte's Airport a woman was sitting in the back seat of the car and she was going to some kind of a meeting with with the land of a land developer or the or the Builder and she said that a few years ago her daughter died and then six months later her husband died in a car accident and she pretty much lost in one year lost her child and lost her husband and so I'm asking her how are you doing she said she said you know what I'm doing better than then I wish I'm doing better than I thought I could be doing she said I'm actually going in to close on the land on the house in Charlotte but I live in California I said how are you are you into some kind of a business or anything she said no in fact when my husband died I had four children and I knew that I could stay and cry or I realized that God is still with me I couldn't stop what happened to him but at the same time God is with me she said I pulled myself up I went back to school I got an accounting degree I didn't have money she said to even pay for my bills but I had a dream that one day I will support the ministry particular ministry that she made reference to she says I had a big dream from God she says one thing led to another I finished the school I got a better job now I invest in other states she said I don't even know about nothing about investing he says I'm an investor now and I build houses in Charlotte but I live in California my future was not connected to someone who died as precious as Moses is as valuable as he is as attached as Joshua was to Moses it was his mentor but God's plan was not connected to Moses it was connected to his word and because Moses died the mission did not because Moses died the calling did not in fact it launched Joshua into his own calling when Moses died I just want to encourage someone who had someone leave your life I want to encourage someone who may be lost someone and you feel like I don't know where to go from this I don't know my life is over but your life is not over that person maybe has left you or maybe they died but God's purpose and plan is still active in fact when God changes seasons he does so sometimes by removing people I don't want to come off as saying that you should start celebrating somebody who passed away that is not in any way indication of my message but if some people left you that means that they were not supposed to be there permanently let him go when you build a building you put on scaffolding and scaffolding is there to build a building you cannot build a building without a scaffolding but once you finish building a building you didn't move the scaffolding when God would removes the scaffolding it means a certain season of your life is come to an end you cannot attach yourself to the scaffolding and say I want that back scaffolding does not belong all the time in your house there are people in your life they come for a reason and they come for a season and if God removes the scaffolding listen cry a River build a bridge and walk over that bridge because you're walking into a new season of your life I like what God says in here he says Moses my servant is dead now therefore arise the funeral is over the crying is done he says now I'll rise and what did he say and he says arise and go over that's why I say cry river build a bridge and get over this Jordan into the land that I have promised you what does that mean that means that when God removes someone it's time to move forward I remember this sermon from our pastor a long time ago I was a teenager our church just started we had this family we have we were very very small but this particular family was very influential in tri- cities and this family they were the wife was a prophetess so she gave prophesies now in the Russian culture a prophet is another word for the pastor apostle evangelist combined into one a lot of times in the Russian culture a prophet controls the pastor the church God and everybody in a lot of cases okay just saying in American culture the Prophet is completely different I feel like they got it right and our culture is still a bit different this lady I was there at the meetings when I was 14 13 years of age when our church was forming and God used her to prophesy our church into existence meaning she gave prophetic words to our pastor she gave prophetic words that our church will exist that God will use our church to impact the community and the world our pastor was strengthened because of the prophetic words she given but then something happened she did not like the pastor she did not like the church she did not like our style of worship in fact her and her husband mainly her husband they caused so much headache to our pastor and they were really speaking negative things they always they were never happy in the church our church was so small so you can you can see who's not happy because there's like you know two rows and so very difficult to miss the unhappy faces now you can just put your head down and not be seen and so and I remember tensions that was hearing you know because it was very small church I heard these rumors that gossip what they were saying and then one day they decided to announce that their do not like what this church is headed to and that they are going to leave see right now if somebody leaves it won't be noticeable but at that time it's a whole road that's gone and we only have three of them it's very noticeable it's very painful what will others think and I heard about the fact that pastor on one Friday night spent all Friday in prayer and he got up on Sunday morning I still remember that sermon he preached a sermon that says the sword of the Lord and the sword of a Gideon and he preached this he says if somebody cannot say in our church the sword of God and the sword of Pastor Vasily you can go and they left and I remember sitting I'm a young guy I'm just watching all of this and I was like oh my god what did pastor do I was like maybe we should have changed the vision for them but pastor did not shift the vision of the church that they prophesied about just because their perspective their ideology changed and he did not allow their exit to stop the vision of the church to stop what God called him to do it was painful did it hurt oh yeah it brought a lot of rumors it brought a lot of gossip against the church it brought different things because everywhere they went they said negative things about our church but one thing that did not happen is pastors felt like just because they left but they helped to strengthen the church in the beginning and now it hurts arise and go over and I am thankful to the pastor that he did not allow what they said to bring our church down and to realize that they helped us up to this point but just because they want to leave that does not mean that what God is doing has to stop it just means there the scaffolding we don't hate him we take him apart and say god bless you go build someone else's house but we have to move forward I want to encourage somebody in this room who maybe was there to help you to get to this point and right now you feel intimidated you feel scared because they just announced that they're leaving your business they just announced that they're no longer want to be associated with you maybe they just announced that I'm leaving you and I want to do nothing with you I want to encourage you arise don't live in rejection don't live in poor little me don't live with God abandoned me if God took the Moses that means he's taking his promise no no no maybe it is your time maybe the season has shifted maybe God is planning something you don't see it yet arise and go over it's time to move it's time to wipe those tears pull yourself up and stand on the promise of God and say what man meant for evil God will use it for his good Jeremiah 29:11 it says for I know the thoughts that I think of uses the Lord the thoughts of good and not of evil to give you future and to give you hope in Romans chapter 8 verse 28 we see Bible says is that God plans good things for those who love him and to those who are called according to his purpose and so we have to stand our ground that God is up for something good you may say but I got left but he died but he walked away he gave me a divorce papers but he already moved on with someone else my life is over it's not over because it's not connected to him or her and them it's connected to God who says to Joshua as I was with Moses I will be with you another thing that I want to bring to you is in Genesis chapter 13 verse 14 it says the Lord said to Abraham after somebody say after after Lot had separated from him lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are northward southward eastward and westward watch this Genesis 13 10 it says this lot lifted his eyes and saw Sodom and Gomorrah and he thought it was like a Garden of Eden lot lifted his eyes but when Lot leaves Abraham God said to Abraham lift your eyes it's not something Abraham is seeing on his own it's changing his vision God give him a new dimension because see lot was making up his own dreams and visions and they turned out to be a nightmare because Sodom was not a Garden of Eden it was a garden of disaster but see when somebody walks away from your life the word lot in the original means Vale sometimes God has to remove certain people because they are lots in your life they are veils and you cannot see your true vision you cannot see your true identity you cannot see your true future and when they are removed God says lift up your eyes meaning you're walking down and saying lot left me I must be a bad uncle or this person left me something is wrong with me and God says lift up your eyes arise Joshua and look this way this way and this way why because I did not connect your future to those who left you I connected your future to my word and my promise walk with me stand with me because I am on your side I just want to encourage somebody in this room today that when people leave God's vision and calling is still on your life in fact it has gotten closer some of you remember last year at our conference during a raised to deliver conference it was a crazy crazy week when Apostle John Chi who's a friend of this house who was coming for a few years already and did raised to deliver conferences and God used them powerfully people were healed and delivered and then a year before raised to deliver he got denied visa we knew that that's just a little hiccup he will come he got denied visa second time it's not a big deal he'll come because we're optimist we're prisoners of hope but we decided to do our part and do our work as we reached out to few of people in the government and had a letter from a Congress United States Congress I remember I looked at the list first time I even saw a letter from the Congress I was like oh my god this is how it looks like this beautiful where a congressman of the United States signed letter to the embassy United States Embassy in Cameroon inviting Apostle John Chi I mean if that doesn't do it there's this you know that it's just not gonna work then on Monday Apostle John she goes to see the ambassador and then on Friday we have a conference we have thousands of people already registered and coming to the conference we are fasting on Monday till Wednesday and he's seeing an embassy on Monday we are sure he's gonna get the visa because he has a letter from the embassy Congress from the from the congressman and the congressman in Richland also sign his as well so I mean we got we got the authorities on our side God is gonna move he goes in there they denied him before he even came into the office and this is when we knew fasting doesn't end on Wednesday it's going all the way to Friday we knew it's not that we didn't want him here it's not that the US Congress did not want him here something was up and I had the word from the Lord that week from this verse that the time of Apostle John Chi coming to the conference it has come to an end and it doesn't mean to cancel the conference it means to rise up and go over pray heal and deliver please understand even at that conference we still had an offering that we send to apostle John Chi for what God used him to do but we knew that it was our time to step up and God showed up in a mighty way and then when we went to Seattle as a church and we saw what the Lord did and so I sensed that there is a shift of season that happened to hungry gen when God pulls somebody who helped us to get to the point that we are at right now and so what if it's in your life as well that there's somebody who walked away or maybe some things that happen and you feel like man God abandoned you no he is actually propelling your growth he is raising you up it's your time it's your season God has shifted the wind in the realm of the Spirit and he's telling you rise oh man I was so scared of raised to deliver until God showed up until God showed up and then we're like my god why didn't the Lord did it earlier oh praise be hallelujah Hallelujah i just want to encourage somebody here today that what God did in our church he's doing that maybe in your life God is not removing Moses because he's planning your disaster it's because he's propelling your destiny you might say but Joshua was like Lord but Moses is gone who do I depend on and God said me when someone you depended on left you you know what God is doing he's making you to be the person others will depend on see Joshua thought God will send him Moses version two little did he know is that when someone you depended on left it's because God is making you to be the person others will depend on and you will see but what about me you will depend on God in the way you've never depended on him before I'm gonna tell you one thing that week the way we pray and fasted we've never prayed and fasted like that we fasted we fasted longer we fasted more but the all night prayer meetings that we pulled up that week I mean God wasn't like Jesus if you show up he was like Jesus if you don't show up bury us alive we don't want to live it was dependence on God was God became everything why because your dependence on God changed when you disconnected from depending on someone else whom you depended for a long time and sometimes God is waiting for that to try your dependence on him and we're over there crying say God but I need someone else to depend on God says listen you no longer a baby depend on me and if you depend on me I'll have people depend on you I'll make you reliable I make you dependable I'll make people pray for you because they depend on you before you depended on others God says I want to promote you where people will depend on you you say but I'm not ready if God says you ready by removing Moses that means you're ready can somebody say Amen God will give you a sign sometimes to leave Laban so that he can change your life sometimes God doesn't remove anyone but he creates circumstances where you have to walk away from certain people or remove certain people from your life now this is gonna get a little bit painful and you only need the Holy Spirit to help you than justice because this does not mean there's somebody that you don't like you have to remove from your life I'm gonna read to you a verse now Jacob heard the words of Labans sons saying Jacob had taken away all that was our fathers and from what was father's he had acquired all of his wealth and Jacob saw the countenance of Laban and indeed it was not favorable toward him as before then the Lord said to Jacob return to the land of your father's and to your family and I will be with you watch this God did not remove Laban from Jacobs life Laban still had a lot of years God didn't have a problem with Laban but I want you to see the three things happen Laban sons started to talk behind Jacobs back and Jacob heard it somebody on accident sent me a text message and it was sent to the wrong person have you ever did that before where you were saying something about someone and you send it actually to them the worst thing that could happen to you in this world I had it happen there was one person long time ago who was on our worship team and and then I was trying to send a like a feedback it was a pretty much correction that this person needs to change your dress and they need to change this and this and instead of sending it to the worship leader I send it to that person oh my god I pray that one of us will go to heaven next week because I'd like I cannot see this person again with the rest of my life and that's kind of what happened to Jacob Jacob heard what they said about him now that's okay bad people don't like me I'm successful people that hate us gonna hate that up second thing I want you to see that Jacob looks at Laban and Laban his father-in-law no longer has a favorable face toward him let's bring it down to 21st century it's when your workers talk about you when your boss no longer has a favorable countenance toward you and this is a good moment to say you know I'm done but that's not why Jacob left Jacob did not leave Laban because they talk bad about him behind his back and he did not leave Laban when his face was not favorable toward him the Bible says and the Lord spoke don't leave because of drama leave because God speaks now sometimes God will use the gossip and the drama as a soil in which he will speak and sometimes people are confused and say oh no no the reason why I'm hearing God's say to leave and to switch this job were to switch this career or to leave this business and go into someone else is because there's drama and all this stuff but be willing to understand that God will use the shift' season has shifted the season has shifted that's why they're talking behind his back that's why Laban is not looking favorably because this season has shifted he's not supposed to be in laban's house all his life and God says to to Jacob he says move leave walk away and go to where you're supposed to be now of course Jacob makes a mistake he packs all the bags and he doesn't give Laban two-week notice you have to do the right thing if it's yours time to shift jobs you'll notice in the gossip in the in the office you're noticing that the management is not looking at you the same way it used to look at you don't just leave because it's a toxic environment because you don't know if God wants to use you to change that environment but if God begins to speak to you already based on the things you're noticing in your work environment I'm gonna ask you that you obeyed the voice of God because he has a plan and a purpose for your life and probably labans house is not were you supposed to stay permanently it's what you're supposed to find your wife it's where you're supposed to find your livestock it's where you're supposed to learn certain things but you need to move forward to the promised land that God has for you and I just ask when you sense as seasons are shifting and it's your time to leave your job it's your time to shift the business that you don't drop everything don't do what Jacob did because the way he exited that season was wrong that you exit properly that you exit graciously and that you exit Christ like that you exit in a way that glorifies Christ and that those people can still find you if they need you come on somebody and somebody say praise be come on somebody give the Lord a round of applause for his goodness and favor John 16 verse 7 says nevertheless I tell you the truth it is to your advantage that I go away for if I do not go away the helper will not come to you but if I depart I will send him to you it's interesting that Jesus also left his disciples and they got sad I see you leaving us and I want you to see this Jesus says it's because something better is coming when your best people leave you your best days are still ahead of you even when Jesus left he said someone better is coming he said I'm not leaving you as orphans he says I'm leaving you but better things are gonna come I want us to be hopeful and optimistic you know being in the church ministry now for a for some time I have learned one thing if the best people leave our church that does not mean that best days has gone with them the best days are not attached to the best people the best days are attached to our God and if he is with us our best days are still ahead of us some of those best people may be talented may be super educated and maybe have incredible influence in our city and they might feel like Gideon oh but we are so little left because many left us it might feel like disciples of Jesus but Jesus is he's like the man he left us Jesus says nevertheless it's better that I leave because he cannot come sometimes God will remove good so he can give you the best and I just want to encourage you be hopeful this year if people are moved from your life expect something better that's coming I am NOT saying to hate on people that leave I'm not saying to gossip about them I'm saying to let them go graciously let them go and let them go in peace to simply say God I trust you that my best days are still ahead of me my best days are still ahead of me we have a sign that says that the best is yet to come does anybody believe in that if you believe in the give the Lord a round of applause right now the best days are ahead of you touch your neighbor say your best days are ahead of you that's your other neighbors say don't worry about those who left you God is still with you the last thing I wanted to share with you is when God removes manna Joshua chapter 5 verse 12 it says the following then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land and the children of Israel no longer had manna but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year in the beginning God promised to Abraham Jacob Joseph Moses Aaron he didn't promise the manna he promised them milk and honey manna was not God's plan or God's promise it was God's process and a temporary provision what do you do when God gives you something that provides for your needs and then it stops manna was not God's plan the reason why is because it fed nobody else except the people who received it milk and honey was an overflow manna is just enough man that was miraculous it was from heaven but God's real promise is for the blessing and prosperity to come from the earth men are required folding hands and no work prosperity requires creativity planning hiring thinking doing digging doing something that is why manna is not God's plan for your life it's got temporary provision until you get to the season where God wants you to be manna is when you get free stuff coming from heaven and we love that we love the welfare mentality we love that when somebody god just gives it to us the problem with manna is it now it's not what God promised you when you were a child it's not what God promised you when you were a teenager you encountered God manna cannot help orphans it only helps you manna cannot help the city it only helps me and manna requires me not to work that's why Israel complain all the time in Egypt in promise excuse me in wilderness because they didn't work they didn't build anything they didn't manage anything they didn't occupy anything they didn't fight anybody they didn't fight any battles that's why they complained all day the only thing they had is miraculous manna and God knew I cannot build sons and soldiers if they only eat manna that's why the first thing that God does in a promised land is he removes that which he gave them and he stops manna why because the produce of the land was ready the shovels were ready the vineyards were ready the wells were ready see provision is when you have just enough but I want to tell you something some of you in this season this year you are moving out of manna for some of the jobs even you had that supplied for your needs and you were grateful to God at one time you thank God for that job and that's gonna come to an end and it's not because God hates you it's not because God is gonna throw you under the bus it's because your season has shifted and you've stepping into the Promised Land hallelujah what is a promised land promised land is when God doesn't give it to you and you do nothing promised land is where you work promised land is where you write create build promised land is what you think promised land is where you take classes because promised land you don't get stuff given to you you work and a lot of us who have felt like work is a curse no no no my friend work is not a curse work came before curse God created you to work in fact God works when we will go to heaven we will also work with God you work utilizes your creativity it utilizes your education it utilizes your gift and your personality promised land will not work without you working it means you're gonna have to write you're gonna have to dream you can have to create you're gonna have to build a business you can have to have a plan you can have to get land you're gonna have to rent you're gonna have to work the beautiful part is that God won't give you manna that's just enough for your family God will give you milk and honey that's enough for others and for you I want to encourage every person today if you're living on just enough and God is supplying your needs I want you to get ready because God is gonna shift your season and sometimes the way he shifts your season is you get laid off or you get fired now if you get fired because you show up late and you don't do your work that's not God taking off the manna that's God disciplining you for not doing your job the don't go ahead praising God I just want to praise God no no no you're not punctual and you're not doing a good job you're lazy that's not praising God you need to be at the altar repenting and say God change me transform me and make me like Christ but if God switches your takes the manna off of the menu it's because something is better it's coming up that's connected to your gift your potential and what God has for you in Jesus name there was a story of first Kings chapter 17 verse 7 it says the following and it happened after a while that the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land then the word of the Lord came to him Elijah saying arise go to Zarephath which belongs to Sidon and dwell there see I have commanded a widow there to provide for you maybe you're like Elijah you lived on manna it was providing for your needs you like man I'm so grateful for manna but the brook dried up the manna stopped and God speaks to Elijah and he doesn't say I want you to right now pray for the brook to have more water God did not instruct Joshua to say pray for more manna to come God says shift things move on there's something better that's waiting for you don't sit there and wait for the brook to have more water move forward to the widow's house because I have commanded her to provide for you watch this when Elijah was at the brook Ravens fed him and the brook gave him water but nobody else was affected because of his provision provision doesn't help others it only helps you and while you have a praise report other people cannot join you to praise your God the prosperity is when he went to the widow's house and not only he was provided the widow was provided and the son was raised from the dead that is prosperity that's why God will take us from the brook to the widow's house why because God is not just interested that your bills are paid for God is interested that you hire others and their bills are paid for see God is not just interested that you have life John 10:10 but that you will have it more abundantly because if you are filled it's for you if you overflow it's for others if I pour water into a cup and it comes to an end anything that's overflows spills outside of the cup God wants you to have overflow because anytime you have overflow you hire more people anytime you have overflow you share it with others God knows as a Christian when your cup runs over other people will drink from your overflow and that's why God takes Elijah says your brook is dry but I want you to go and help a widow I want you to go and raise her son I want you to supply her needs as well as yours and many of us were scared of the overflow some of you you come from a religious mindset where like the word overflow throws you into a cold heat or cold sweat ooh prosperity ooh if you're afraid of overflow the root of that fear is pure selfishness pure laziness because overflow tells you and teaches you to think differently when you were an employee it was very easy show up at 9:00 leave at 5:00 but when you become a boss that's not that easy because now you have to create things it requires you to step out of your laziness and it requires you to be a blessing to others God created you to have overflow the Lord is my shepherd I shall not lack that's just enough that's manna but then when I go to verse 2 verse 3 and then verse 4 going through the valley I go to verse 5 Psalm 23 my cup runs over that is God's promise God's plan is not manna God's plan is milk and honey God's plan it's not that you just go through just enough it might be where you are it might have been where you've been for 40 years in any way am I saying that is not God moving in your life he is moving in your life he is supplying your needs according to your riches in your glory I'm just asking if he pulls manna off of menu don't panic he has something better he has his ultimate plan for you where you will have more than enough for others to help others in your life and be a blessing to those around you who don't have you will be somebody's miracle you will be somebody's answer to prayer somebody will be applying for a job and your company will be the company God will use to answer their prayer in there you had a miracle in here you become a miracle and that's why between here and there is a season of confusion it's a season of where is God why did they fire me why was manna was removed why did the brook dry up why did that position God remove what would I need to do till I go back and look for manna more or do I press in and trust God and say that God has got it in control and God doesn't remove something he doesn't plan something better be optimistic have faith trust in God I believe with Jesus our best days are ahead of us I believe with Christ we will sponsor others I believe with Christ we'll be a blessing to our city we'll believe to the poor families in our community I believe with Christ we all kind of rise up and maybe some of you who didn't even finish school you had a bad record but God is gonna raise you up you're gonna be a hardworking person you're gonna be creative and God is gonna open doors for you that maybe have never been open to any of your family members and you will be a blessing to your family you will be a blessing to your marriage you will be a blessing to your school in Jesus name I want you to rise to your feet it was the last verse then he took the five loaves and two fish looking up to heaven he blessed and broke them gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude and when they had all ate and were filled somebody say all ate somebody say filled and twelve baskets of left over somebody say left over twelve baskets of left over of fragments were taken up by them they did not have enough to feed the multitudes they did not have enough to feed the multitudes and maybe today that is where exactly where you are at you don't have enough to feed your family you don't have enough to pay your bills you know what Jesus asked when they hadn't not enough he says bring me what you have can I ask you right now can you put Jesus first in that not enough can you still in that season say Lord I'm gonna still tithe I'm gonna still trust and I'm gonna still work hard because God doesn't bless lazy and the Bible says when Jesus touched it they all ate watch this they were filled and when Jesus touched it this is Jesus who some people believe in here he only gives you just enough that's not God he wants to give you also left over and then he says these fragments they need to be collected I don't want them to be wasted meaning when you have leftover it's not a time to get a new iPhone it's not a time to oh that's it we need to go and get a new car now because we have leftover we need to now get a bigger house because we have leftover Jesus wants us to steward the leftover he wants us to steward the extra to manage it well to invest it well to leverage it well not just waste it like poor people do buy a nicer shinier things and then they're poor again this is the year where God will take us from not enough to trusting in him putting him first and we will eat we will be filled and we will have baskets left over to be a blessing to others come on somebody let's begin to play right now we're gonna play in just a moment team is gonna sing a song we're gonna pray that this year be the year of overflow this would be the year I want to pray specifically for people who lost someone uh who are going through a very painful season where
