Praise the Lord!
This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Welcome to another morning and welcome to another time in the presence of the Lord. I believe that God is going to bless you today. God will touch your life as we come to the end of this week. We celebrate the goodness of God, the faithfulness of God, the protection, the grace, the power, the presence and the possibilities of our God.
Heavenly Father we give glory, honour and adoration to your name. We thank you because you are God who never fails, you never lie. We bless your name because you are an awesome God. Creation bows before you, the angels worship you, all heaven declares your glory. We see your signature in the whole universe.
We serve you, we magnify you, we exalt you, you are our God, our father. Our hearts worship you, our lives worship you. We thank you for your faithfulness, for provisions. Thank you for wiping our tears. Thank you for filling our mouths with laughter. Thank you for great surprises. Our good God, our awesome God, our powerful God. Take the glory, take the honour, take the adoration, take the praise. Bless your people this morning, let your hand be stretched.
Prove yourself as a mighty God. People who have cried, who have made a deposit of prayer; let them begin to receive answers. Sudden open doors, sudden favour, sudden testimony, sudden turnaround. We thank you, we give you praise. We honour you and we say it is done. You will exceed prayer, you will exceed our cry, you will exceed our waiting on you. Thank you, thank you, thank you Father in Jesus name.
AMEN!
For those who are joining us for the first time, yesterday we began to encourage you that there are pillars of progress. Things that show progress in your life and the first one was that we said in order to make progress, your need to find the blueprint for success because success leaves a plan you should follow and when you follow that plan for your live you arrive at the purpose of God for your life.
Secondly, you need to have the will to win (Joshua 1:8). There is always enough to discourage you but you must make up your mind that you want to win, you want to reach where you want to reach. Praise the Lord! Do you not know that those who run in a race all run but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it (1 Corinthians 9:24).
It is not possible for anyone to succeed or win in life who has no mental, emotional and spiritual commitment to it. There is always enough to discourage you but when you fix your eyes on reaching where God is taking you, you will get there. There has to be that desire to make progress.
Winning is like a race. It is finishing first in a contest. It is succeeding by striving or effort. It is gaining in victory. It is overcoming an adversary. It is succeeding in reaching a place and a condition. Winning is being successful in battle. God created you to win and to make progress (Genesis 1:28).
You were created to win. I told us yesterday that; medicine tells us that when there is sexual relationship, there is an ejaculation of sperm. Between 11 million and 500 million sperms seed, there are tiny, tiny macrocosm that only a microscope can see them, travel but only one gets to the egg and you are the only one who made it to the egg in this race of 11 million. Oh, la, la. You are faster than an Usain bolt that’s why you are here. Glory to God!
Listen, stop letting the devil preach to you that you are a loser. How can you be a loser? Was Satan there when you ran this race with 11 million others and you made it? You are fearful and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). God created us to be spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonian 5:23)
3 John 1:2
So, man essentially was made to win. In all areas, you need to be wealthy mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. When there is an imbalance, then there is an abomination and an aberration. God wants you to be mentally wealthy, emotionally wealthy, spiritually wealthy. Do you know is not very easy for me to come and say you’re stupid and it’s affects you? Because you know you are not stupid, you know you are mentally sharp, God is working on your life. The reason people abuse and act and actions easily gets to us is because we also are dealing with our own insecurities.
Glory to God! I see you winning, I say I see you winning. God is going to cause you to win. The counsel of the Lord shall stand in your life (Proverbs 19:21). There will be expert who will say you are not good enough but it doesn’t stop you from who you are. Quit thinking about the reasons why you cannot do something and start thinking of all the reasons why you can. Sometimes we are very good at can’t, can’t, can’t. Stop living in CAN’T, start living in CAN. I can, I can, I can (Philippians 3:13).
You will always be limited by what you tell yourself you cannot do. At different times of your life people have told you things that are not possible, not possible, not possible. Even you too need to reduce saying that to your children. If you don’t have the money to buy what the child wants, tell the child, one day we will have the money to buy it for you. Don’t say we can’t afford it, we can’t afford it, you are sowing the seed of lack and the seed of somethings are too good for me into your children. Find a way to change your language. You don’t have to speak what your parent spoke to you. they spoke based on the revelation available to them.
My parent spoke to me based on the available revelation, I spoke to my children based on the revelation available to me. I remembered when one of my sons was young, maybe I made a negative statement, he said no, I reject that and then spoke positive words because before they were born, I had come across teachings of people like Kenneth Hagin and you now compare it with the Scripture, you will see how it teaches you to say positive things, how to speak the word into your life and also into your circumstances. So, my children were raised in the atmosphere of speaking positive words of God, so the children turnaround to be correcting me. Praise God!
So, at different times of your life people have said things. Anyone has the right to say things. 7.9 billion people live on earth, do you know that 7.9 billion opinions? Do you know how many magazines exist on earth? There are more than 50 million magazines, so each one is an opinion, you can’t read all. Jesus said if you can believe, all things are possible (Mark 9:23). So, your life make progress when you shift.
Many things are about shifting paradigm, shifting paradigm. Money is about shifting paradigm, you know there are families, all they think is that money is to be spent and there are two S’s about money; saving and spending. So if you are raised in the spending family that’s how you will remain broke and if you are raised in the savings family, you will have temporary lack but you will have future greatness.
I speak into your life this day that God is making a way for you. Winning is possible for you and in your progress, you will win!
You must have that ‘will’ to win like I told you. When Jesus saw that man lying down in John 5:6, He said to the man; wilt thou be made whole? Have you met people like that? They already have a rehearsed script; the answer they give to everyone as to why they are where they are, it is a rehearsed script. They know your next questions, they know the next answer that will either quitten you or make you show sorry or emotional feeling for them.
Jesus didn’t align with his problem. Will you be made whole? The man says I have no man. Who else do you want? The man of Galilee is standing by you and you are saying I have no man. The man who was wounded for your transgression, who was bruised for your iniquities, the chastisement of your peace was upon him. We are having communion this morning and I believe God that you will be healed, you will be delivered, you will be set free in the name of Jesus.
Be ready to win, be ready to overcome, be ready to be a champion in the matter of life.
