[Music] [Music] it will hold my soul let's think that again one more time i'll remain i'll remain [Music] is [Music] [Music] wow what a profound reminder i will remain confident that i will see the goodness of the lord the source of our confidence is from who god is when we look at the scriptures first thessalonians 5 18 the bible says be thankful in all circumstances for this is god's will for you who belong to jesus christ be thankful in all circumstances for this is the will of god for you who are in jesus christ thankfulness is an expression of gratitude it's the attitude of gratitude and this is the will of god concerning us you see sometimes we have shifted our thankfulness to come as a result of our circumstances but the scripture is very clear it says be thankful in all circumstances in good circumstances in bad circumstances our attitude ought to be one of gratitude where we express thankfulness to god what does that mean it means that god is not defined by our circumstances god is good in the good times god is good in the bad times god is present with us he is all present whether we feel him or we don't feel him god is all-powerful whether we believe it or we don't believe it our circumstances do not define who god is and therefore our attitude of gratitude depends on who god is job understood this when he lost everything he went on to say the lord gives and the lord takes blessed be the name of the lord when he had everything his attitude was one of gratitude when he lost everything his attitude remained one of gratitude and right now i want to encourage you right where you are you might be going through a difficult time god says be thankful give thanks to the lord you might be going through a good time maybe in the sweet spot of your life god says be thankful give thanks to god why because at the end of the day god has the final say concerning your life not the things around you not the people around you not your circumstance so right now i want to encourage you right where you are just start to express gratitude to god just that to give god thanks for who he is thank him for the life that you have thank him for the promises concerning your life thank him because tomorrow is in his hands he knows exactly what he's doing in your life go ahead take a moment and give thanks to god lord we give you thanks [Music] i am [Music] what if it was not for you any of us be lost battles identify [Music] thank you father in the mighty name of jesus we come before you right now as your children as those who have been saved and redeemed by you we thank you thank you for loving us unconditionally thank you for going ahead of us in ways that we cannot see in ways that we cannot understand thank you for fighting our battles lord we understand that if it was not for you or god many of us wouldn't have made it this far and so we stop and just say thank you even in the tough times we say thank you because we trust that you are working behind the scenes your word says that you or god will cause all things to work together for our good for those who are cold according to your purpose we are called according to your purpose and so we pray continue walking on our behalf lord father thank you because your thoughts concerning us are good your word tells us that you will perfect all things that concern us because you will not forsake the work of your hands you're a faithful god and so we trust you and we give you thanks for all that you have already done and are yet to do be glorified in the mighty name of jesus

power lord i knowing just all that fresh we ask clothe us with power from on high friend i want you to know this as we celebrate the god of miracles one thing i know about the promises that god made was the promise of the holy spirit and jesus knew how critical the holy spirit is and that's why he told his disciples even after three years of working very closely with them he said wait until you are clothed with power from on high because it didn't matter what they learned from jesus it didn't even matter how close they were to him for the three years but one thing he said is wait to be clothed with the power from on high and yes the promise arrived on pentecost day but ever since the believers have been filled with the holy spirit and right now we're going to take some time and just pray that the holy spirit will fill us up i love what the scriptures say in acts chapter 2 verse 38 in fact the people who were gathered there they were wondering why the disciples were speaking in other tongues and there was confusion some of them thought that they were drunk but peter stood up and spoke very boldly in the power of the holy spirit and verse 38 says this peter replied repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of jesus christ for the forgiveness of sins and you will receive the gift of the holy spirit you know friends it doesn't matter what kind of training we have it doesn't matter what experiences we have without the holy spirit we are nothing and all of us need him so i'm going to ask you right where you are to take some time and pray and you see for the holy spirit to baptize you for jesus to baptize you in the holy spirit all you need to do is be willing and ask in faith would you just right now wherever you are ask him to clothe you with power from on high that the presence of the holy spirit will be evident every single day of your life would you lift your voices right where you are right now and just say come holy spirit fill me up i am hungry for you i am thirsty for you i need you [Music] you see yes would you fill us up lord with power from on high we need you jesus we've allowed ourselves to be distracted by the experiences by the busyness of life and we've forgotten that we've been we've been equipped with power from on high to be able to be witnesses for you jesus we come before you realizing our need for you fill us up we pray fill us up we pray fill us up we pray we need you in our families lord i pray that the presence of jesus through the power of holy spirit will right now cause strained relationships to be mended [Music] but where the husband and wife can no longer talk and no longer sleep in the same room lord i pray that by the power of your holy spirit you will bring reconciliation but where children have been wounded by the reckless words spoken by parents i pray that you will bring healing lord where children have gone wild because they have allowed media to take them on and to lead them the wrong way i pray that the power of your holy spirit will remind them who they are in jesus and the height from which they've fallen so they will come back to you lord i pray that we will be sensitive to the prompting of your holy spirit and respond to our need for the savior on a daily basis in our workplaces lord we need you fill us afresh with the power of the holy spirit we need you jesus i pray that your holy spirit will give us power to overcome sin every single day of our lives that i'm praying right now for a husband a wife a child a young adult who has been called up in a habitual sin don't you encourage us to throw off everything that hinders us and to run with perseverance the race that you have marked out for us we can only do this through the power of the holy spirit we need you father i pray in the mighty name of jesus that you will pour out your holy spirit upon families upon your church but without the power of your holy spirit we've we've allowed your name jesus to be put to shame as believers and we repent lord we ask for forgiveness where we have not embraced the mandate that you gave us and we've thought that leading others to christ is the responsibility of someone else but we ask that you will forgive us we come to you yielding to the power of the holy spirit that we will be moved with compassion for the lost like jesus was and we will step out in that calling to bring the lost back to the savior lord i pray that your church will rise with power that people will be able to see the love that we have one for another and say there is a god in heaven i want to know him [Music] but we come before you and we ask that you will lead us that jesus will not just be a part of what we do but jesus will be at the center of everything and that can only happen when we are filled with your holy spirit so we need you we need you [Music] jesus said this that you earthly fathers who are evil who of you when your child asks for bread you will give them a stone and which of you would give them a snake if they asked for fish now if you earthly fathers who are evil are able to give good gifts why wouldn't your heavenly father give the holy spirit to those who ask father thank you for the holy spirit thank you for the holy spirit thank you for clothing us with power from on in jesus mighty name shall we continue in worship [Music] stand before me and my strength is fairly i will call on jesus and they'll be swept away [Music] when the storm and my is is shaken i will call on jesus who waves [Music] there is power in the name the name of jesus there is power in

more powerful than the name of jesus and even as you carry on in prayer this evening i want to pray for the nation of uganda our nation you see uganda is a very beautiful and lovely nation we are gifted with wealth of resources beautiful people lots of wonderful food to eat this is a beautiful country that god has placed us in the nation of uganda but i believe that just like you my heart gets burdened by the challenges that we're experiencing as a nation when i look around us and see the different issues that we are grappling with my heart gets burdened and i'm sure your heart too gets burdened issues that stem from unemployment issues that stem from economic hardships that families are experiencing radical tensions that we are seeing in our nation sexual perversion abuse of power by any of our leaders who have been given authority and power to lead us there are things that happen around us that break our hearts i know that sometimes as the body of christ we get discouraged we feel overwhelmed and think that is there hope for us as a nation this song reminds us that indeed there is power in the name of jesus we are not hopeless it is not a lost cause because of god there is hope for our nation we can have hope that indeed god can turn around the situation of our nation and so what we do is we come in in prayer we come and call on the name that is above every other name the name by which every mountain can come down the name by which indeed god can make a way where there seems to be no way i don't want to call on the name of god in prayer concerning this nation i'm reminded in the book of uh of psalm 93 uh and how it talks about the fact that that that you know as mighty as they you know the waves may be as mighty as the flats may be the name of god is mightier than all of these god is mightier than any flood any mountain before us and you know sometimes these issues may seem like insurmountable mountains before us but god is mightier than all these so what should we do we that are called by his name call on his name ask him to come into every realm of this nation every situation in this nation come and have his way because where the presence of the lord is there is liberty so you want to call on go to them and ask god will you come into our politics god will you come into our economy god will you come into our society god will you come into our families call on the name of god and ask him to come in his power to come in his might to come in his strength and bring to pass his good and pleasing and perfect will for our nation prayer concerning the specific community that you stay in ask god to come into that community ask god to come into the sector that you represent has got to come into the family that you are a part of has got to come into every area of this nation because we need the presence of god because where the praise of god is there is liberty there is fullness of joy so right now just raise awareness and call on the name of the lord ask god to come ask him to come into those areas father in the name of jesus we ask of you lord in this moment of prayer lord will you come because lord we know that when you come into any situation you are the god who can make a way where there seems to be no way you are the god who can move mountains before us oh god you are the god who can change situations for nothing is impossible for you so lord we ask of you come into our politics come into lord our economy calm lord into the issues that are grappling with as a nation king of glory come into our families oh god come and bring peace lord where there is tension king of glory will you come lord because when you come lord you set things in order king of glory so we ask of you lord will you come lord we need you oh lord as a nation we need your help oh lord my god all the issues that we're dealing with cannot be resolved by mere men and men's ideas king of glory it is you that we need a king of glory so we ask of you lord will you come o lord my god we need you as a people king of glory lord will you come and deal with witchcraft at the center king of glory of many issues that we are struggling with king of glory come and break the power of witchcraft over this nation king of glory come and break the power of sexual perversion king of glory my god a lord you will bring forth a stable society in the name of jesus oh

king of glory we need a revive oh lord my god over this nation king of glory and revive over the leadership in this nation king of glory will you come lord because lord when you come things change when you come low things will get better when you come lord things will turn around for good so lord we ask of you will you come oh lord my god the other area like us to pray about concerning this nation is leadership the leadership of this nation the bible in first chronicles chapter 12 verse 32 talks about the men of isaka the tribe of the men of isaka who understood the signs of the times and knew what israel ought to do my friends our leaders of today are grappling with situations they need wisdom we need wisdom for our educational sector to see how it will be rebuilt our economy we need wisdom concerning the political affairs of this nation we need leaders who will reconcile the people together our leaders need wisdom wants us to lift up our leaders to god in prayer that they will receive from god an understanding of the times and seasons and know what we ought to do as a nation they will know how to lead us unto god's plans which are good for this nation right now raise the leaders in every sector raise the leaders to god in prayer ask god to release his anointing to grant them insight to grant them knowledge wisdom and revelation that they will know the decisions to take that will be for the better of this country raise the leaders in education the leaders in health concerning the coveted pandemic leaders in the political arena in parliament raise our leaders to god in prayer that need god will grant them understanding oh god we lift up to your leaders oh god will you release your wisdom upon them understanding king of glory insight and revelation that they will know how to lead us unto your purposes king of glory that they will know have an understanding of the times and the seasons that we are in and what we ought to do as a nation lord we ask of you that lord will you release your grace upon our leaders king of glory from the top leadership king of glory to leadership across all of society king of glory we ask of your release your grace and also wonder that god will raise leaders for such a time as this like joseph who will carry his wisdom and bring about change and solutions concerning the issues of our nation raise men and women who are anointed of god who seek him who have an understanding of his ways who will rise up this nation and lead us to where god desires for us to go pray that god will raise men like joseph women like esther in this nation people who will be used of him like nehemiah to bring about rebuilding of our nation right now raise and pray concerning that lord we ask of you lord raise men like joseph raise men in our time or god like women like esther king of glory men like nehemiah lord my god in every area of society who will bring about your change and the rebuilding of this nation the reconciliation of the people king of glory and the healing of this land so lord we stand before you as you people that are called by your name we humble ourselves acknowledging that lord my god you are our hope you are the solution to the challenges that we face as a nation lord you are the god who founded this nation upon its foundation's king of glory and lord we turn back to you the author and the creator of this nation lord will you come and bring healing come and bring restoration come and bring deliverance come and bring liberty in every area of this nation the lord we will realize the potential that you set in our foundation's king of glory and the lord in uganda will be all that you purposed for it to be because you are the answer lord to all that we desire so that we give thanks and praise to you and lord we wait with eager expectation for the wonderful things that you are going to do concerning this nation in jesus mighty name and all god saints say amen come on let's declare this wonderful

[Applause] [Music] oh god is so good you defeat everything that stands against us we experience your victory every day so we come confidently lord yes lord we thank you friends i want to remind you that the church is a body the church is a family it's a global family connected by the powerful holy spirit of god and we have the tie to the blood of jesus you know we like your body if you knock your foot the brains know it if you if you touch fire with your finger the eyes see it in the same way when the church in brazil is affected the church in uganda not says it if the church in china or the church in in indonesia or the church in europe or anywhere we all are affected because we are family we are one body so we're going to take time to pray for the church of jesus christ this is what jesus told the church this is what he said in matthew 16 he said like this in verse 18 i will build my church and the gates of heads will not overcome it so no matter what's going on in the church the church is going to be victorious in verse 19 says and i will give you meaning you you you the church i will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatever you buy on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you lose on earth will be losing heaven and so you know what we are not asking in vain we know the victory is there so i'm going to ask you to pray one key area why not pray for the church to preach the message of love for the church to preach the message of salvation because that's what the gospel is about the other area is one of prayer that the church leaders will be protected by god god will protect every church leader a pastor a prophet will protect the administrators of the ministry protect the teachers of the world god will protect them and their family and their witness the church can only be protected by god and you know you do it like you're doing it for you because you are part of the body let's pray together jesus we thank you for trusting us with your gospel so we ask that may you give us the privilege may you continue to give us the awareness that you've given us that power that authority to preach your word whether it is convenient or not the word tells us in timothy that we should preach it in season and out of season lord i pray oh god that every christian will preach the word every believer will be a witness lord i pray of god that will know that you have given us authority to bind every wickedness on the world and when we bind we'll be bound in heaven lord we thank you so much now we also pray that you'll protect the church leaders from the attacks of the evil one i attack protect their families protect their marriages protect their children protect their weakness protect them and make they do the work of ministry may they dig deep into the word of god and may they teach honestly may they teach you this humility lord i pray for the leaders of the church lord that they will do your work with the glory of your name we thank you for every believer lord that there will be true witnesses wherever you post them they will preach your word oh god every christian so allah we ask that may this overcoming church the child that overcomes the gate of where of hell lord may that church be the church we know today we belong to today we thank you so much in jesus name in jesus name in jesus name one other area i want us to pray is we pray that the church will cling to the love of jesus there's no other thing to cling to but also ourselves we're told there are things god has given us to do especially in 2021 we have missions that we want to do but our major mission in relation one is going to be charging we want to pray that the launch will be successful we want to pray that it will continue to grow the church is already existing there in barack but we want it to grow the other bit is god asks us to reach out to the vulnerable we want to reach out to the vulnerable women out there in the community that every member of auto church will be connected to this vision one of us always want to pray that our microsites the cells that meet in celebration over the weekend in the communities will it thrive and those microsites will reach out to people and that's what we are for as well to the church jesus we thank you we thank you for the privilege you've given us as water church lord we ask our god that these things you've signed on us to do in 2021 lord may you help us to do them well as we look forward to launching bharara launching the church but the church is already existing lord we

[Applause] [Applause] [Music] is [Applause] [Applause] yes the promises of god are yes and amen and you know this loving god that we are singing about that we are worshiping we know personally and it is very very possible for you to get to know him you know what the bible says in ii peter chapter 3 verse 9 it says that god is not slow in bringing his promises actually that promise is about really the destruction of the wicked but he is patient not willing that anybody should perish but come to repentance and that is his will for those of you who do not know jesus i just want to pick up from a conversation that happened between jesus and one of the pharisees who went to see him at nine and that was in that is in john chapter three and verse 14 actually jesus was telling nicodemus that just as moses lifted up the snake in the desert in the desert then so the son of man must be lifted up that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him and so to help me understand what was he really talking about i went back to numbers chapter 21 from four to nine that's the story where the israelites when they were going to the promised land they were discouraged on the inside and then they began to speak badly of god and of moses and they said that with this we detest this miserable food of yours and they sinned against god and you know what god did he actually sent judgment and there were snakes that beat these young these israelites and many of them died but one thing happened they recognized that they had sinned against god and you know what did they did they actually asked moses to ask god to forgive them and moses prayed on their behalf and moses set up a bronze snake on a pole and these people were able to look at the pole and eventually they they found healing and so this snake bronze snake was representative of the judgment of god upon sin and jesus was telling him that god in a in a moment he was going to be crucified that everybody who would look up at him and realizing how much they've sinned against god and they would find forgiveness in the blood of jesus and so if you are there and you do not know jesus as your lord and savior you've enjoyed sin and you think that everything is okay well let me tell you our god is a holy god and he judges sin the punishment for sin is death but the good news is there is the gift of life through jesus christ so if you would just pray this prayer with me right now right where you are you can experience this hope that i experienced as an eight-year-old boy very many years ago let's pray together father i want to say thank you so much for everybody who is listening who is watching right now especially those you have prompted by your holy spirit to see their need for the savior i pray that right now you will save them would you pray these words with me loving father i recognize that i'm a sinner in need of a savior unable to save myself and i thank you that today you've shown me my true condition that i am lost without jesus and i am deciding to place my faith in him for the forgiveness of my sins thank you for renewing my heart thank you for cleansing me and thank you for making me a child of god holy spirit i invite you to give me the power to live every day of my life overcoming sin and giving glory to god the father in whose name i pray amen amen you're very very i want to just
