THERE IS SOMETHING MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE DEVIL!
WHATEVER IT IS THAT STANDS IN THE WAY OF YOUR CONNECTION WITH THE PERSON THAT BUILDS YOUR FAITH, THAT IS YOUR GREATEST ENEMY!
IF THE LORD DOES NOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT REVEALING IT TO HIS SERVANT, THE PROPHET, THEN THE LORD DOES EVERYTHING THROUGH HIS PROPHET
- Pastor Ken on “Breaking Forth by Believing His Prophet” at COZA Tuesday
Honestly, I’m still trying to comprehend what I’m doing here tonight, but I want to let you know that God is here. 18th of January, 2006, will go down in my history as a major shift in my destiny. I came into COZA, it was during the 30 Days of Glory that year. Pastor was preaching on ‘Conferred Authority’, I remember vividly, he was putting on a waistcoat that day preaching fire. At some point, Pastor climbed on the chair preaching and somehow my eyes just got fixed on him and since that day, it has not left. I am so grateful to God for this opportunity. From that day, I started learning, I started receiving directions, instructions and today, God has been so faithful. Jeremiah 3: 15-16. ChurchGist. The evidence you have a shepherd is that you see multiplication and increase in your life. I want you to know, COZA, we have shepherds in this house. We call them blacksmiths, craftsmen, our leaders, our father, Pastor, but I tell you the truth, everything is encapsulated in one statement; they are parents. Help me to celebrate our parents somebody. Daddy and Mummy, thank you so much for this privilege tonight, I do not take it for granted.
I’ll like to start tonight by sharing something that I have benefited from, in this house. I’ve titled it ‘Breaking Forth by Believing His Prophet’. I want you to know, child of God that there is so much power in believing in God’s word. We have learnt over and over again about the efficacy of the word of God. Tonight, I want you to understand boldly, we’ve learnt, we’ve heard, we’ve been imparted and you’ve heard testimonies eloquently of manifestations in this dimension. Everything is encapsulated in the ministry of the prophet.
2 Chronicles 20:20 presents a very unique dimension.
-I’ll like you to know that tonight, your life is going to experience a switch
- Prosperity is coming to your life like never before
- You will experience a lifting
I’ll like you to know that this is not a subject I’m planning to teach, because it can’t be taught, it can only be caught and I’m praying in the name of Jesus that your eyes will open, this revelation will hit you.
I want you to know child of God, this God’s order. ‘Believe in the Lord, your God’ is good but not enough, believe His Prophet’s and you shall prosper.
- I prophesy to you tonight, in the name of the Lord Jesus, you will prosper.
We live in a system and in a world today that the devil is doing his best to try to bounce people off the mind and agenda of God. ChurchGist. Social media, friends, mind-set, axioms, belief systems are trying to give you a perspective. Some of us, the way and manner we encountered Church has affected the way we are these things, but tonight, I pray, whatever veil the enemy has used to cover you will be released in the name of Jesus. I pray that you will learn the principles of God tonight, you will unlearn the wrong concepts and most importantly, you will relearn and be conscious of this truth.
In Isaiah 54:3, that’s the theme for the month. All round breaking forth. It’s a 360 degrees turnaround.
- I prophesy to you tonight, you will break forth on all sides, like the break forth of many waters, in the name of Jesus.
Earlier in this series, Pastor taught us that you cannot break forth with unbelieve. One of things the enemy will try to do for you not to break forth is to make you walk in unbelief. Unbelief is not your friend. Unbelief is a thief of God’s blessings. - As the word of God is coming to you and your faith is rising, I prophesy that thins will work for you.
Pastor said something earlier in that series, If you believe in something, you will put your all into it. If you believe in God, you will put your all in God. If you believe His prophet, you will put your all into His prophet. That is why Pastor would always teach us that faith is that force that brings the world to its knees. ChurchGist. Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. Whatsoever has the life of God, emanates from God, has the DNA of God in it, overcomes the world. He also said to us that the most important person in your life is not the one who likes you or post you in Instagram, it is the one that builds your faith.
God said to me, the person, circumstance or thing that interrupts the flow, stands in the way of your connection with the person that builds your faith, that is your greatest enemy. It could be something you heard, it could be a mind-set, it could be a person. Whatsoever it is, that is what you should run away from. It is more dangerous than the devil itself. That is why I want to let you know tonight, that how you perceive something determines what you get out of it. That is why companies spend so much on advertisement – billions and millions of dollars, just to create a perception for you. They spend so much time on research, just to give you a mind-set.
The devil’s strategy is always to destroy perception. Perception is everything. That is why Elijah said to Elisha, ‘If you see me as I’m being taken’. What you see determines what drops. If you can see me differently, if you can see that I’m tied to your destiny, if you can live off the words that drops from my mouth, your life will take a new turn. Pastor would always say that the Prophetic is like snake and ladder. You start from one place and boom, you are not your mate’s mate, you take off. Elijah was minding his business and boom; he was taken by a whirlwind.
Amos 3: 7. If the Lord does not do anything without revealing it to His servant, the prophet, then the Lord does everything through His prophet. Ephesians 2:29, the Church of God is built on the foundation of apostles and prophets. Child of God, you buy into this concept, your life changes for good. Joshua 6:2. The key to entering dimensions is your seeing, your perception.
Hosea 12:10. God speaks by the prophets and bless God; we are blessed with a speaking prophet. How else can we express gratitude to God? How many of you came to church and got your business name in church? I don’t know about you but I have questions I position before my man of God and bam! Bam! Bam! Answers. That’s how God operates. God deposits things in men for men. God places upon one man and from that man, He distributes. Ephesians 4:7 How many of you came to COZA depressed? ChurchGist. He removed that part and wore a coat of boldness on you, dressed you up for your destiny. Timid brat like me. In secondary school, I could not even talk to girls. He took that off and put something called boldness on me.
Thank God we are saved by grace, but I tell you sir, you need that ministry. Some Grace’s, potentials, gifting, can’t come out on its own, it needs to be pulled out. One of our facilitators during the congress said, what was I, a lawyer, doing with log book, setting up? That’s pulling out. Your real identity is coming out. Hosea 12: 13. Your real identity is formed through God’s sent prophet. As you begin to celebrate Grace’s, until you tap the carriers, there are levels of these graces you can’t see.
Hebrews 7: 7. The one who has the power to impart the blessing, is greater. I am breaking forth because my prophet has said it and what he says is what God says. There is something that happens when you begin to perceive your prophet differently. We’ve been taught 1 Corinthians 10: 1-4, the Bible says, they were all baptized into Moses, they drank from Moses, they drank into him. We were taught elaborately about that during the congress – Drinking into the Man. I am immersed so that the same thing that is upon the man is upon me. It is aa type and shadow of being born-again. So, every Israelite, you and I, new creation, must have a Moses. Pastor would always say to us, ‘Never go alone. There must be a covering over you. Someone must be speaking into your life. Sisters! Don’t marry a brother whom there is nobody speaking into his life. There are words that go with us all of our lives; words that don’t die.
So, as I begin to round off, 2 Chronicles 20: 20. What does it mean to believe? The picture in the Hebrew is like when you fasten a tent peg into the ground. When you are building those tents, you take one of the ropes that is holding the anchor to the tent and you hit the peg into the ground. The word believe there means that every day, you must be checking that peg so that it does not shift, you wake up in the morning, you go and hit it again because by evening, winds would have blown, they would just release on e story of Instagram, they would send you one broadcast that has been forwarded many times. The thing would shake, just go back there and fasten it, that is the word believe. You know sometimes, all those ships when they are at the shore, you have to anchor them because the wind can be boisterous The ships that are not anchored would disappear. That’s what happens with a lot of people. When things are happening contrary, you go back and fasten your tent. Believe!
2 Kings 6, 7 and 8 brings out this concept in a deeper dimension -The ministry of a prophet. In chapter 6, the sons of the prophet wanted to do something for their organization. What did they do? They went to the prophet. Every expansion must be initiated by the prophet. You want to marry and you say, ‘I have enough moneys.’. it’s not money that they use to marry because anything can happen before the wedding and the money would go, but you go meet your prophet, let a word be spoken. The Bible says the axe head fell, so they went back to the prophet. You would always have a need to go back. If you have gone to him in the first place, you won’t find it difficult to go back. If something doesn’t want to open up, we go back.
You are not as self-sufficient as you thought, I’m telling you the truth. You need direction. They always speak against the norm. They don’t say what is prevalent. Prophecies are meant to be eaten. There are things Pastor say, you eat them.
- In break forth, you will eat of it.
Prophets give the word. There must be those who believe them enough to run with it.
How Do I Engage these Things?
I’m just going to give you two points.
- Submission: Hebrews 13: 17. Submit. Come under the mission – Submission; and let your life move in new directions
- Honour: You must know that your destiny is tied to your prophet. Hebrews 13: 20 In making you complete, it starts from verse 17. You must submit to them in honour, you sow into their lives. As you sow up, you go up.
The ministry of a prophet – Believe in the Lord your God, you shall be established, believe in His prophets, you shall prosper.
