the lord for all of his loving kindnesses his tender mercies and certainly for his amazing grace it is because of the lord's mercies that we are not consumed they are new every morning great is god's faithfulness can you clap your hands and praise him for his faithfulness keep clapping we certainly want to honor our senior pastor amen the right reverend dr bishop alfred a owens jr let's continue to clap our hands and honor our pastoral team the right reverend pastor crystal woodhouse and the right reverend trey daniel tim we honor all of our pastoral team and we certainly honor you here in the sanctuary and those of you who are on screen we bless the lord for his marvelous i guess his actions his behavior his conduct the way he can speak to us and set us up and and bless us and work miracles for us and i just believe that this service today is going to be extraordinary what you think our scripture is coming from second kings chapter number seven verses one through ten i'm reading from the new international version the lord gave us a little preview you know how you go to the movies and before you see the main featured attraction they give you pre-ver pre previews things that are to come in so last week the lord kind of set us up for the main feature today last week he gave us a preview second kings chapter number seven verses one through ten the niv translation here's what it says elisha replied hear the word of the lord that is what the lord says about this time tomorrow a sheaf of the finest flower will sell for a shekel and two sheaves of barley for a shekel at the gate of samaria the officer on whose arm the king was leaning said to the man of god look even if the lord shall open the floodgates of the heavens could this happen you will see it with your own eyes answered elisha but you will not eat any of it now there were four men with a leprosy at the entrance of the city gate they said to each other why stay here until we die we stay we'll go into the city if into the city the famine is there so if we stay the famine is in the city if we will die if we stay here the famine is in the city and we will die and if we stay here we will die i mean my choices are not good so let's go over to the camp of the armenians if they spare us we live if they kill us then we die at dusk they got up and went to the camp of the armenians when they reached the edge of the camp no one was there for the lord had caused the armenians to hear the sound of chariots and horses and a great army so that they said to one another look the king of israel has hired the hittites and the egyptian kings to attack us so they got up and fled in the dark in the dust and abandoned their tents and their horses and donkeys they left the camp as it was and ran for their lives the men who had the men who had leprosy reached the edge of the camp entered one of the tents and ate and drank then they took silver and gold and clothes and went off and hid them pay attention they returned and entered another tent and took some things from it and hid them also almost done then they said to each other what we're doing is not right it's not good this is not proper this is a day of good news and we are keeping it to ourselves if we wait until daylight punishment will overtake us let's go at once and report this to the royal palace so they went and called out to the city gatekeepers and told them we went into the armenian camp and no one was there not uh not a not not a not not a sound of anyone only a few of their horses and donkeys only them were left in their tents and everybody else was gone everybody else was gone for a few moments as the holy spirit shall guide i'd like to preach from the text god is dependable before you retire to your seats look at two or three people and tell them god is dependable god is dependable god is dependable let's begin our discussion when we say god is dependable we mean god is deserving of our trust and confidence in other words we can put our confidence in god we can put it in him simply because he has proven time and time again he is in total control he is in control of anybody in the one and anything god is in control make no mistake about it god knows exactly what's going on anywhere anytime anyone any place god is not surprised bishop reminded us on last sunday that god is omnipotent y'all remember this his sermon about his presence god is omnipotent he's all powerful he's almighty stay with me please he's all powerful he's almighty and then bishop reminded us that god is omnipresent he is everywhere president he is in every space no one can escape the presence of god david penned it this way if i take the wings of the morning and fly to the utmost parts of the earth behold thou art there if i descend into the deepest depths of hell thou art there whither can i where can i go that you're not there bishop reminded us last week that god is ambitious he is all knowing nothing escapes his intellect he knows pests he knows present and he knows future thank you man of god for reminding us that there's no one like jehovah [Music] these are just a few of his character traits and he confirms them in this text the fact that god is dependable he confirms it repeat it say it to yourself say it loud god is finish it he is dependable not because of who he is necessarily god is dependable because what he speaks comes to pass god is dependable because what god wants to happen happens he's dependable simply because of who he is and what he can do the text today the text today is a prime example of god's track record to bring to pass whatever he has spoken now i didn't come for everybody here and i didn't come for everybody on screen but i came to remind some of us that in spite of what you are dealing with in spite of the odds that may be set up against you despite what is going on negative or positive i came to remind you that god is able to perform whatever god has spoken make no mistake about it if god said it it will come to pass we can trust what god says because god is reliable you hear me god is reliable you do not ever have to worry about if god has the resources if he does not you don't ever have to worry about that simply because the earth is the lord's the fullness thereof and everybody and everything in it belongs to he is reliable we can trust him with complete confidence that he will do what he says he's going to do we can trust him listen because this is this is good because he operates the way you expect i said we can trust him because he operates the way you expect now now now now i expect him to get me through this now now let me clear it up let me clear it up i said he operates the way you expect i expect him to fix this now let me clear it up that sums up what he can do okay ah it's clear to me that he can operate as i expect him to but he does not operate always how i expect him to oh y'all missed the praise point you missed the praise point i said i expect him to operate the way i expect what throws me off is that he does not always operate how i expect him to operate i don't know how he's going to fix it i don't know when he's going to fix it i don't know where he's gonna fix it i don't know who he's going to use to fix it i do know is he's going to fix it because god is finish it now y'all got to help me preach i know they helping me out there on screen because god is he will fix it now listen ladies and gentlemen you must believe that god has the power to do the possible in the midst of the impossible oh y'all gonna help me y'all y'all going with me now i feel it i feel i said god has the power you got to believe this regardless of what it looks like you got to believe that god has the power to do the possible in the midst of the impossible there are a few things we can extract from the text to aid us as we move forward in god's dependability the text assures us that if god said a thing it will come to pass it must come to pass simply because god said it you hear me somebody listening to me needs to know that it has to happen simply because god said it the text that we read today most time when we're invited to hear this particular portion of scripture the emphasis is upon the four lepers there's no way we can exclude them because they are a major point as to how god's gonna fix what he said but today i want to invite you not to give so much attention to the lepers let's go to the beginning of the conversation that takes place between elisha and the king of israel between the man of god to the shepherd of the sheep of god let's peruse the text from that point of view let's explore it and see what's really going on the conversation ensures when elisha says to the king of israel in the middle of the famine that we're going to have something to eat they miss a component in the text it does not say how long the famine had been going on we only can gather and surmise from the text that it must have been going on for quite some time the battle that they lost to the syrian army had brought on an extraordinary situation it had to bishop owens been going on a long time because as you review the texts and do it in your leisure there was no food or drink the people were so desperate that they were killing their own children in order to find some relief of their hunger so bad they were eating their feces in order so the famine must have been going on for some time look at somebody and tell them i've been in this for some time but the bible says elisha says to the king time up turn around and tell somebody time up by this time tomorrow they're gonna be so much to eat that it's gonna blow your mind i don't know who i came to preach to but i came to tell somebody by this time tomorrow now don't get it twisted i don't know when your tomorrow is your tomorrow may begin today your tomorrow may be monday or your tomorrow may be october 30th i don't know when your tomorrow is what i do know is god has sent me here on an assignment to say by this time [Applause] tomorrow whatever it is you're dealing with whatever you're going through it's going to be over the conversation continues the king is baffled and confused he is certainly out of control because people are running around chaotic can you imagine that you're at the state where you would cook your children in order to live a man a person that's why you got to watch who you leaning on who you hanging with y'all hanging with some of the wrong folk you gotta watch who you hanging around with a man whose arm the king leaned on heavily he respected this fella says to the prophet this can't never happen if the lord would open up the windows of heaven the flood gates of heaven there still wouldn't be enough food to feed us i mean it can't happen let me tell you something don't hang around folk who don't believe like you believe this is no time this is no season to be hanging around anybody that don't know nothing about god don't trust god don't believe god don't know that god still can work miracles i got some folk who can testify that right here in the middle of a pandemic god worked miracles they got new homes they got new cars they got new jobs don't play with god if he said it god is y'all gotta help me preach i said god is finish it so here we are god has spoken you have to be convinced that whatever god spoke to you about you for you and with you is already done it's not being done you hear me irene it's already done because god works in reverse so when he tells you it's coming it's already here so so so the the way out was already prepared in their dire need for food and drink god had already prepared a way here it is four leopards sat outside the city gates they were experiencing a disease that was crippling to their body in the middle of the nation of israel in the middle of the people of god experiencing great lack these four leopards set outside the city gates they they they they set in the neighborhood and you must know that as you experience what appears to be some lack there's always provision that will come out of nowhere i said there's always provision that will come out of nowhere as the lepers sat outside the city gate isn't it strange how god can use unlikely unassuming nobody that got nothing to bless you so there are a few things let's examine first what the problem is the problem is god's people are hungry with no resources in which they can get food don't have no kind of resources and these lepers don't have any resources either they don't have nothing i'm talking to about 500 people who are listening to me and say co pastor i hear you i believe that god can do it but i don't have nothing i don't have i don't have the finances i almost don't have the faith i don't have the courage i don't have nothing look at your neighbor and say i don't have nothing i said tell some i don't have nothing you are dealing with somebody that don't have nothing i don't have no answers i don't have no way out i don't have no excuses i don't know why i'm going through this i don't have i don't have nothing and i don't know nothing all i know is that god is finish it [Applause] what they need is a supernatural breakthrough they need god to act in a supernatural way i hope you are on the road with the right person or somebody in your vicinity know what it means when you say god is able tell somebody that's what i need i need a supernatural breakthrough i need god's supernatural intervention if that's you hollaback god is [Applause] i need a solution that's outside of my resources i need some answers to questions that i didn't prevent or start he his here's the problem they don't have nothing they have no resources but the prophet said by this time tomorrow there is going to be more than you can handle the problem no resources the place where they were he wasn't talking to them in a term that they were not familiar with they're in a place of nothing they're in a place that's unexplainable they're in a place that is crazy but yet god is prophesying to them that better bishop better bishop always says better is coming now it's easy to to wrap that in your mentality when you have something to make better occur but when you have absolutely nothing and no one seems to be paying attention to what you're dealing with that becomes a horse of a different color but god is dependable because god can work in extraordinary ways he can work when you believe god is dependable you don't have to be able to explain it you don't have to be able to figure it out he is unstoppable he can do unbelievable things he is uncontrollable he is credible you can take god you can measure him at his word when you believe there is absolutely nothing that happens in your life that god is not in control of clap your hands and give god praise because whatever go is going on in your life god is in control god is dependable the problem was they needed food the place they needed it now but look at god pay attention to the text the text said there was a problem pay attention to the text the text said the problem was in the place where they were ah but here it is you don't have to worry about god's dependability because god always has a plan lord have mercy his plan is always what you don't expect i expect him to fix it but i don't expect him to fix it the way he fixes it because his thoughts are not my thoughts his ways are not my ways if you're gonna feed us why we have to go through the famine in the first place we already lost the battle we already feel bad so what's up god god has a plan he takes four men who are full of disease with a contagious infection to bless a whole nation long and have mercy glance down your row and look at your neighbor and say neighbor neighbor i wonder if god's going to use you to help me today god has a plan it's unusual it don't make no sense that you would take somebody that's worse off than i am to bless me but that's exactly what the lord did here it is the four leprous men sitting outside the city gate they didn't have a praise service they didn't call for the board meeting but they made a decision all among themselves why should we sit here and die we have two options we can sit here and die or we can go in the city and they can kill us we're in a life and death situation i'm talking to somebody screen huh who's in a life and death situation hold up your head because the day is the day of your deliverance the same god who kept you in 2015 is the same god that can keep you in 2019 lift up your head oh ye gates and be lifted up you everlasting doors and let the king of glory let him come in who is the king of glory the lord god strong and mighty he is the king of glory put your trust in him put your confidence in him put your hope in him the same god who helped you again who helped you again and again will help you now for he is the same yesterday today and forever and whatever he starts he already finishes he'll take unlikely unassuming uncredible persons to bless you how did not the word of god say the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just god has laid up some blessings for you that you cannot take hold of right now the plan was to take disease men to take men who had nothing to lose and use them to bring about a miracle put your hand on yourself and say self i got a miracle with my name on it it ain't just a phrase it's not just a statement huh but today it's a reality i i got a miracle with my name written on it how pay attention god is dependable because he has a plan remember he said through the mouth of elisha by this time tomorrow there's going to be more food than you ever imagined huh four leopards made up their mind huh they're gonna walk they're gonna work with god's plan you can trust god because he got a plan he has a plan huh i know the thoughts and the plan that i have for you i'm gonna bring the past every good thing huh all my promises all my provisions i'mma bring it to pass he takes outcasts men who have nothing to bring about something that's gonna change the course of the nation of israel you got something coming that's going to change the course of your life if you believe it hold it back to me how god is i say holler back to me god is he is dependable he takes a plan and he begins to work it so the leopard's men go into the city and they found nothing they didn't find anybody to fight they went into the tent that looked like it didn't have nothing and when they went into one of the tents you heard it in the text there was food there was drink there was clothes my god so they started to eat and drink said among themselves where is the syrian army huh where are the armenians here go another thing you need to pay attention to god will use his presence to walk out everything he promised you god will use his presence to bring you to a place of overflow the during the night hour while it was yet dust god sent a sound in the assyrian camp sound like horses sound like chariots sound like an army scared their syrians scared the syrians scared them to death they got up and ran and left all their stuff right in place tell yourself say self i'm right in place i'm right where i can receive a miracle from god clap your hands and give god a praise [Music] say yes say yes the god that we serve can make a plan to come together it may be scattered when it starts out but if god spoke it he's dependable and he could bring it to pass the syrians the syrians heard a sound and ran for their lives i know that the presence of god can sometimes present itself in a sound the bible said that joshua and the children of israel have marched around the jericho walls on the seventh day they made a sound cause the walls to fall down flat there is a sound that can come when you receive the presence of god the bible said that on the day of pentecost my god the people were in a room but all of a sudden a sound came from heaven my god and the presence of god lit upon any of them if you can get into the presence of god you gonna make a sound paul and silas in the philippian jail were locked up and stocks and bonds but at midnight somebody say midnight at midnight they made a sound and the change fell off i need to know if i give you 60 seconds can you make a sound can you make a sound can you open up your mouth [Music] make a sound that will bring the presence of god into your situation make a sound that will bring his presence into your situation the presence of the lord is here i can feel him in the atmosphere open up your mouth open up your mouth up make a sound [Music] i got to go they had a problem pay attention they had a problem and god manifest himself in the place of their problem he manifest himself in the problem at the place through his presence lord have mercy and now my god right there when they're making the sound when god heard what they needed he calls the enemy to hear a sound i'm gonna give you 60 more seconds you got to make a sound that's going to destroy the weapons of the enemy you got to make a sound that's going to make the devil take it back open up your mouth you got 60 seconds i'm just about finished open up your mouth because god is deceptive dependable and make a sound huh let me hear you calgary in person and on screen open up your mouth you ain't got nothing to lose you're walking with nothing no way open up your mouth and make a child [Music] thank you thank you mr vincent huh thank you mr vincent bohemian thank you mr vince and bohemian i hear a sound of victory i hear a song a victory i hear a song a victory because god has god has a he has a plan he is my last one [Music] god god can work through a problem because he's dependable god can work at the place where you need him to work because he's dependable god has a plan that's going to bring you out because he is dependable god's presence is in your plan because he's dependable and here's the last one pay attention because they're going to get a prophet lord have mercy the bible says when they went into the tent my god there was silver and gold it was clothes and everything said they picked up the silver they picked up the gold they ate the bread and they drank the wine and they said to themselves this is a good day they picked it up they took it outside pay attention to the text because god always has a prophet if he brings you to a place where he's got to make a provision he's going to bless you with a prophet lord have mercy they took the gold and silver outside the city gates listen alonzo they took it and they buried it my contention with the texts past the tray is that they were leopards lord have mercy and according to the disease it killed your body functions they should not have had fingers they should not have had arms they should not have had any strength to pick up anything and take it anywhere and bury it in a place but when god speaks a thing he always gives an overflow so he took men that had no human strength and he used them with his strength i came to tell somebody as i bring this sermon to a close that god is going to take the little bit of strength that you got left and he's going to make it a prophet in your life a p-r-o f-i-t you're going to profit from every tear you shed you're going to profit from every hurt you felt you're gonna profit from every lie that was told on you how you're gonna profit from everything that was stolen from you huh the bible said they picked up the silver huh how you pick it up leopards they took it outside how you carrying leopards they buried it in the ground how are you burying leopards because if god speaks a thing he's going to give you strength to do what you need to do until it comes to pass this is the next to the last time look at a neighbor i'm going to eyeball and say neighbor all i know is god is dependable i'm gonna get through this and when i get through this thank you mr sapp i'm gonna be better i'm gonna be wiser lord have mercy i'm going to have more than enough lord bless this sermon on the day but it doesn't end right there the bible says that the leper said this is too good for just the four of us it's too good for just the four of us some we got some sisters and we got some brothers over there in the neighborhood who need something to eat who need something to drink they need some clothes they need some gold they need some silver let's take a risk and go tell to the king come on over here my god there's plenty to eat there's plenty to drink there's gold and silver the bible said the four leopards took a chance went back to israel and says to the king huh come on huh go into marriott there's no warriors there huh there's only food huh there's only drink there's only silver huh there's only gold huh i came to tell somebody you need to tell somebody in the middle of the pandemic you need to come to church because if you come to church there's food there there's drink there there's wealth there huh you can be abundantly blessed if you come on over here the table is spread the feast of the lord is going on the bible said that the man on whose arm the king leaned lord have mercy god up got on a horse and went to see what was going on in samaria lord have mercy but by the time he got there the word has spread there's food and drink over there in samaria the bible said the people who started running her started jumping her started racing her they trampled the man who who didn't believe in the first place this is the last time look at your neighbor eyeball to abbot and say neighbor oh neighbor i don't know if you believe or not but what i do believe is whatever god said about

hope our peace our joy our strength is found in him can we give god a hand for the word the word i know that tomorrow bless me because it might not be monday it might be 2023 it might be 2030 but what i do know is that there is a tomorrow there is a bright side somewhere and can we just hold on let's get what yeah what did we say yesterday just one more day let's just hold on and make it one more day and tomorrow is coming amen you can have your seats god is good as you take your seats let's give god a hand for our co-pastor and how he used her to bless us on today i have total dependence on god my father god my savior and god my redeemer i don't know about you but i depend on him for everything not only is he the air i breathe not only is he the song that i sing but he in fact is the life that i live and so i owe god everything and it is now time for our ministry of giving and god knows i owe him my finances god knows i owe him 10 that's all i can keep the other 90 and do whatever i want to do but 10 of my earnings belong to god and that shows god how much i depend on you because if i give you 10 you can stretch my 90 to 100 110 150 and so here at calvary the first thing we do is we give to god and we do that by way of time and that is showing god in a tangible way we depend on him we don't depend on our jobs we don't depend on our savings we don't depend on our 401k we depend on god you are our source you are our source everything that we have comes from you and so we counted an honor and a privilege to just give back just a reasonable reasonable portion of that which he gives unto us and second we give to the gift of god don't we thank god for our senior pastor [Music] our senior shepherd who is not on salary but he trusts god that the people of god the people in his flock the sheep that god is assigned to him will see to it that his needs are met and lastly we just so generously and again as co-pastor said god is dependable and we do that so whatever need that we have it may not be financial but we can depend on god to see us through i have tried him and i know him and i have found him to be someone that is reliable somebody that is sure somebody that is secure it is a sure and a secure foundation the blessings of the lord certainly make rich and they add no sorrow there are different ways to give on the screen for those of you that are given electronically we want to invite you to do that at this time for those of you that are in person and would like to give in person you can do that in just a minute our trustees are here to

don't depend on any other financial means but our source is in you and we thank you for being dependable that even in the midst of famine you can provide and you can see to it that we have food to eat that we have shelter that we are safe in your arms so we thank you god for this opportunity to give we ask that you will bless the seed that we sow let no need come in our lives that you won't see to
