-Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo at Morning Glow, KICC on ‘HARVEST’ (Part 9)
Praise the Lord!
This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. Welcome to Morning Glow, welcome to another time in the presence of the Lord. I believe you slept well and you are ready to receive what the Lord has for you and to go into this day in a sense of victory, testimony, glory and honour to Jesus.
Heavenly Father, we give glory, praise and honour to Your name. We bless You because You are God, there is none like You. Awesome God, mighty God, powerful God, Healer, Deliverer, our joy, our salvation. We bless Your name. This is the day You have made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. We thank You that the Heavens are opened upon us. Your hand is stretched, Your power is here to touch, to deliver, to set, to glorify Your name. Bless Your people today. We will not just talk about harvest, we will walk in the harvest and Your name will be glorified in Jesus name.
Praise the Lord!
I will like to celebrate everyone, we appreciate and thank God for you. We trust the Lord that this morning, you will be blessed, you will be favoured, you will come into your harvest, God will give you a testimony, God will cause your harvest to manifest right before your eyes in the mighty name of Jesus. Church Gist. You will not wait in vain, you will not pray in vain, you will have results, you will have testimony in the mighty name of Jesus.
For the benefit of those who are just joining us, who were not with us since the beginning of last week, we have been prophesying the harvest into our lives. God wants you to enjoy bountiful harvest and yesterday, I began to share that when you walk in bountiful harvest, you are going to realise some certain things you do. In Genesis 26,1-5, 12-18, Isaac experienced a bountiful harvest. Church Gist. It first started with a massive famine in the world. Crisis is your chance for change, for blessing. Never begin to get angry because you are facing a battle, it is your chance to shine and to rise and to experience the power and the hand of God.
In the middle of it, Isaac wanted to follow the crowd, the multitude. God instructed him to wait, to stay where he is. He did and harvest follows. So we said;
- You must recognise your appointed place. God told him, dwell in this land, sojourn in this land (Genesis 26:3). God told him the location of his harvest. Too many people have become disjointed, you need to be very careful. Don’t move to a city because they said that’s the happening city, you need to know your appointed place. If you stay in the wrong place, you will miss your harvest but if you stay in your appointed place, you will connect with the purpose of God. There are people who stayed too long in the wrong place. God told Elijah, go to Cherith, there, I have commanded a raven to feed you. You know when you go where God said you should go, strange things will happen. Then later God said, go to Zarephath, there I have commanded a widow to take care of you. You must recognise your appointed place.
You know, while we talked about seed time and harvest, do you know that there are some seeds that don’t grow in some places because it is not the appointed place? There are seeds that only grow in certain climate that are meant for them. There are seed also that are hot weather seed. So you have to recognise your appointed place before you can have your harvest.
- Recognise anointed people. Anointed people have an assignment to destroy yokes in your life, to remove burdens in your life, to release joy in your life. Church Gist. There are people in your journey, that you’ll just say, wow! For the light that shines in my way, I thank God for this woman, I thank God for this man. For the direction I have found, I thank God for this person. For the progress I have made, this person was selected and elected and directed to my life.
Praise God.
In Isaiah 10:27, we see that these people are supposed to come into our lives and destroy yokes. In Isaiah 61:1-3, they are anointed to bless us. When you meet an anointed person, anointed to be in your life, they comfort you in your season of pain, in your season of challenges. In fact, they just make it look so light.
I found that when a person is a prophet, directed into your life, they see what you do not see, they hear what you don’t hear, they make so little, what seems to be big burden in your heart. God just uses them to speak and to immediately bring clarity and direction. It could be so beautiful.
I can never forget, I still see a flash of it. I was in a city called Benin City in Nigeria where I’d gone to preach and then during the free hours I had, I decided to go play golf. As I was there and about to play, that was when I got a call, that the land belonging to my company sold much of it, over 300 hectares. Church Gist. The governor in the place where the land is, had cut out our land and said, now, the government is over the land, it belongs to the government. I almost lost my mind. Every ball I struck, was going into the bush. I just saw massive trouble and I called the man whom I regard as a prophet, everytime I have been in that kind of a tunnel. I found out that God will just use him and then as I shared what I just heard with him, he said, let us pray.
One minute of prayer or two, he just saw what drama will pane out. Although it took six years, the preciseness was scary, he described how.
The revelation; it was another governor that will come up after that one that took the land, will waste time, waste money, do all that but God will not let him carry out his enterprise, he will not be able to use it. But you can’t take back your land, it’s been made legally that it is belonging to the government. But another governor came, the vision God gave was that, you shall go, you shall meet this governor. They will know that they’ve made a mistake, they will find a way to just make some small money from you, then they will hand it back to you and everything will be fine. That was what happened six years later.
Six years journey, but that word never fail. The Bible says, the sceptre shall not depart from Zion until Shiloh comes. Glory to God. Your key to maximum sowing and harvesting depends on your understanding of whom God send to you and who you are in God. Not only because you recognize the anointing upon your life but the anointing upon other people’s life. I pray, I see revelations but when it comes to my own thing, many times, God will want others to see it and speak it, then I will get a confirmation from my own spirit.
The anointing you respect determines what increase in your life. The anointing you respect determines the access you get into the realm of the Spirit. The widow recognised the anointing on Elijah, she broke the power of poverty because of that. The whole of the village was in lack, the woman was in abundance.
Another one recognises the anointing on Elisha, she broke the grip of barrenness and she had her son because she recognised the anointing. Church Gist. She told her husband, let us make a room for this anointing. Let us create an upper room. Let’s go the extra mile, let’s not even build a room for him at the lower level of our house, let’s build it in an open place. Glory to God.
The woman with the issue of blood recognised the anointing on Jesus, she broke the power of sickness and disease. One of the ways you can even do it is, while you are connected to the Morning Glow, you make up your mind, ‘today is my day, I receive my harvest. I connect to this anointing. I break the yoke of the enemy in my life’.
So you are a covenant person with covenant connections, don’t forget. Genesis 12:1-3, so the Word had gone forth, it can’t fail. In Genesis 26:3-5, God told Isaac, sojourn in this land. There is a covenant between me and your father and by reason of that covenant, you will be blessed. Don’t move around.
So don’t forget that God will not break the covenant He has made with you. You are also an anointed person (Psalm 89:34). As an anointed person, you are also untouchable for the enemy (Genesis 26:11, 1 Chronicles 16:22, Zechariah 2:8). So by the reason of the anointing of you been untouchable, you are like a mountain to crush the pebble called satan in the name of Jesus. So you must recognise the anointed people. Anointed people who will help you, anointed people whom you are one of them. Glory to God. Anointed people who will help, you, recognize the grace on their lives because a knife cannot sharpen it’s own handle. God wants you to recognise anointed people who will help you and provoke the grace on their life so you can walk in the liberty.
I tell you, the moment the man described all that he said, I have had encounters with him many times where we have prayed together, some matters will look so huge to me, by the time I will describe it to him, when he just pray, he just look at me and say, this is what the Lord says. Sometimes it would be within 30 seconds of us starting to pray and I’m thinking, this is amazing and then I also get that experience. People will wonder, you mean that’s all I should do? Yeah, because the Lord has just showed me, that is going to happen, this is how you are going to have this breakthrough.
I can’t forget our pastor in KICC, Togo. We went to hold a crusade and I just said the Lord spoke to me over night that you are going to have a child and the child is going to be a boy. Amazing! Nine months later, they had a baby. Praise God.
So this morning, I prophesy into your life, your season to have a harvest has come. Your anointed place for harvest will open to you.
- As you go into today, your anointed place for a harvest will open up to you in the mighty name of Jesus.
- There is a place where God have anointed your harvest, you won’t miss it. You will not miss your harvest, you will walk in your harvest, you will operate in the harvest, you will enjoy the harvest in the name of Jesus.
Yesterday, we read very strong scriptures about the attacks on your harvest. This morning, we want to take authority on a few of the things that attack your harvest, and we want to believe God that the season has come. Your testimony will follow in the mighty name of Jesus.
First of all this morning, I want to take authority over harvest swallowers. Everything that swallow the harvest, we are casting it out, we are rebuking it and we are saying, enough is enough. We are having our harvest.
Job 20:15-17
- Everything that has swallowed your harvest, shall vomit it in the name of Jesus
- Every of your favour, your harvest, your blessing that have been swallowed by circumstances, issues of life, every demonic entity, every power of hell, every circumstance, every situation, coronavirus, issues of life, national battle, unemployment, every of your favour swallowed up by the enemy, he is vomiting them right now. You are taking back your harvest in all areas in the mighty name of Jesus.
Nahum 2:2
- Everything that empty a man, we rebuke this morning!
- Lord, any unrighteousness, any sin that will make the emptier to empty us, we bring it under the blood. Wash us with the washing of the blood.
- We declare and decree, we shall not be empty, we are coming back to our full harvest in the name of Jesus.
- Every satanic devourer that has risen against your life, the hand of the Lord is against them in the name of Jesus.
Isaiah 49:17
- I lay hands on you that God will not allow your land to be wasted, your work to be wasted in the name of Jesus. Your efforts will not be wasted, your dream, calling, anointing, the grace of God on your life, the power of God on your life, the ability of God that He has placed upon you shall not be wasted. The calling in the destiny you carry will not be wasted.
- From this day, everyone who has wasted your time, wasted your opportunity, your years, your life, we recover back your wasted years, your wasted time, your wasted days in the name of Jesus. God lifts you up, God prospers you in the name of Jesus.
Matthew 13:24-30
- Every seed that satan has sown into your enterprise, into your destiny, into your journey, we burn them today in the mighty name of Jesus.
- Seed of discord, seed of disharmony, unhappiness, sickness; every seed that has been sown into your journey and life, that the Lord did not sow and the enemy had done this, every seed of hell, we come with the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus.
- We speak your victory, progress in the name of Jesus. Everything the enemy had done, the enemy will receive shame, you will get the victory. Your barn shall be full of your wheat, testimony, glory, healing. You will go from harvest to harvest, from glory to glory, from testimony to testimony, from power to power in the name of Jesus.
- Every grain that you have sown shall come to pass. Harvest in colourful ways in the name of Jesus.
- Harvest in several ways are coming into your barn in the name of Jesus.
Isaiah 65:21-22
- You will long enjoy the work of your hand. You will not build and another occupy. You will not plant and another eat. The seed you’ve sown, the seed of your hard work, harvest follows, favour follows. Thieves of harvest who are waiting for your hard labour, who want to steal, every harvest deviater who is setting to target you, God will destroy their evil plans. Your labor shall not be in vain. You seed will germinate and bear fruit.
- Everyone who come with a cat face, when they are tigers inside, God will expose them.
Ezekiel 4:1-2
- Every embargo, every siege is broken in the name of Jesus. Romans 8:1
- We cancel demonic siege and demonic embargoes this morning by the blood of the Lamb. Church Gist. We open the flood gates of favour, blessings, testimonies. We open the flood gates, let the joy come in, let the blessings come in. Let the produce of the east, let the harvest of the west, the north, the south, the east begin to flow in from today.
- From today, your sons and daughters; you will harvest them as graduates of the University, achievers, breaking grounds, achieving things, going far in life in the name of Jesus.
Nahum 4
A saboteur is a person inside your system who sabotages. The worst part of a war is not your enemies but the enemies within who are leaking your secrets to your enemies. There are some prolonged civil wars you have in Nations, not because a bunch of rift rafts who are fighting the Nation have more weapon but because there are saboteurs who are giving those rift rafts information.
- I declare this morning, every arrow that has been directed at your life, every saboteur of your harvest who are sabotaging your harvest, destroying your harvest, the hand of the Lord is against them, the power of the Lord is against them. They will not be able to carry out their enterprise, their plans, their desires. Every sabotage they have planned to destroy your harvest, God will expose them.
Matthew 25:14-30
- I speak into your harvest field, this is a season of harvest, turnaround, joy, blessing in the name of Jesus.
- We declare today that every harvest disappointment come to an end. You shall not be disappointed. You will not be put to shame, rather you will have testimony.
- I speak into your life today that, every harvest devourer is rebuked for your sake in the name of Jesus.
Matthew 13:3
- Every demonic fowls, demonic birds that has been sent to come and devour your harvest and waste it, shall fail for your sake. We curse their efforts. We rebuke their work.
Go into today prospering, go into this week prospering, go into the rest of this year prospering. Go and become a testimony. Mental health, financial breakthrough, victory on every side, protection on every side, testimony on every side shall be your portion and you will truly, truly have a harvest of victory. Emotional harvest of joy in the name of Jesus. A harvest of physical health and healing. A spiritual harvest will follow you in the name of Jesus!
I close this morning by prophesying Leviticus 26 into your life from verse 4.
- May God wet your vision, your dream with rain from heaven. May the Lord cause the works of your hand to prosper and increase to follow you in the name of Jesus.
…and the field of the trees shall yield their fruits. May your long term project, trees of the field, bring forth uncommon seed and harvest. - You are coming out of indebtedness, you are coming out of lack.
- I speak into your life that this level of the harvest follows you: your threshing shall reach the vintage and the vintage shall reach the sowing and you shall eat your bread in full. There will be no dream that lies fallow.
- From today, in the name of Jesus, your dream will not lie fallow, your vision will not stay aside. The finance, the opportunity, the blessing, the favour with which to carry it out, comes upon your life, rest on your life, follows you from today, abundantly become your story in the name of Jesus. So shall it be!
