WHEN IDENTITY CHANGES, DESTINY CAN CHANGE.
IF GOD CAN CAUSE THE EARTH TO START AGAIN, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE DEVIL HAS TAMPERED WITH OR SCATTERED IN YOUR LIFE, THERE CAN BE A NEW BEGINNING.
ALL THINGS WERE DESTROYED BUT GOD GAVE NOAH A NEW BEGINNING.
GOD IS BEGINNING SOMETHING NEW IN YOUR LIFE AND WITH YOUR LIFE IN THIS SEASON!
-Pastor Paul Enenche on ‘THE GOD OF NEW BEGINNINGS’
Worship, Word and Wonders Night, Dunamis International Gospel Centre.
I welcome everyone here and everyone connected from all around the world and everyone who came in here for this Worship, Word and Wonders Night; literally, the Healing and Deliverance Crusade for June all night. I welcome you to the beginning of another half of the year.
Speaking on the subject:
“THE GOD OF NEW BEGINNINGS”
Isaiah 43:19
This morning, our objective is to understand the God of new beginnings. Church Gist. We serve the God who is the God of new beginnings and I am going to give instances where God initiated new beginnings:
1). At creation (Genesis 1:1-5, Jeremiah 4:23-26). Before this occasion, there was a time where there was the birds and fruitful field, ever before it became without form and void but something happened and he identified it and said, “At the fierce anger of the Lord…” Church Gist. Bible historians and church historians and history of creation concluded that it was the luciferic fall from Heaven, when Lucifer was becoming satan and he was kicked out of Heaven by the Archangel, Micheal and his troops.
That catastrophe that happens scatter the earth at that time and the earth remained like that, until God decided to re-create the earth and give it a new beginning. When you hear geologians give the date of the earth and the date of creation, they speak in terms of millions of years, that is far ahead of the age of the earth from Adam till now. Church Gist. So, people begin to wonder, how is it that the earth is just a few thousand years from Adam till now and we are talking about millions of years the fossils and all those massive creatures, when did they exist? It was pre-historic times and all these catastrophe and cataclysm happened and the earth was without form and void and the confusion lasted until God said, “Let me give the earth another chance and bring create in my image. Let me do it differently now.” God gave the earth a new beginning.
If God can cause the earth to start again, I don’t care what the devil has scattered in your life; I don’t care what the devil has tampered with in your life, I don’t care what has been destroyed in your life; I see a new beginning!
2). Noah and his family received a new beginning after the flood destroyed the earth (Gen. 6:5-7, Genesis 7:11-13, Genesis 8:20-22, Genesis 9:1-4). All things were destroyed but God gave Noah a new beginning.
- I announce prophetically, I don’t know what the devil has tampered with around your life and around your family; I don’t know the area where they have drawn the conclusion that your life is finished, maybe in the covens of witchcraft, the strong room of the occult realm; they have concluded that they have finished with you and your life and destiny. I announce by the apostolic and the prophetic mantle of God upon my life, you are starting a new beginning!
- God is beginning something new in your life and with your life in this season!
3). Abraham (Genesis 12:1-5). The old is past; the new has come.
- The season of frustration, stagnation, depression, labour without reward, barrenness and empty handedness is over forever in your life!
4). Jacob had a past that fought his future until the God of new beginnings showed up and gave him a new name (Genesis 32:24-28).
This day was the end of Jacob and the beginning of Israel. Church Gist. God ended with anything that was Jacob and began everything that was Israel in the life of that man.
It doesn’t matter how terrible your past, God can give you a future that will have no bearing with the past.
- Whatever the devil has tampered with in your past, is about to be corrected in your future!
5). Joseph existed as a slave and prisoner until God gave him a new beginning. The day Pharaoh sent for Joseph in Genesis 41:14, that was the day Joseph’s new beginning started (Genesis 41:39-44).
Question is: What is the future of a slave in a slave trade era?
Answer: zero! But God gave him a new beginning until the status of slavery and prison was permanently deleted from his life. I came across the story of a man, I think he killed someone or so, and they imprisoned him in a prison in America. Church Gist. While in that prison, you know America don’t have the capital sentence in many of the places, so I think it was life jail or something and then finally, he got released because in that place, when you are of good behaviour and they can testify to the goodness of your behaviour, you can be released after a while.
So, he gave his life to Christ in the prison, life radically changed and then, he came out of the prison and became a minister to prisoners. He went back to the prison to convert hardened criminals. This man came to the point where he began to relate with presidents. They began to rely on him for what they couldn’t do in the prison. God changed his story until that status could not be recorded against his name. That was what God did for Joseph. Whenever they mentioned Joseph’s name, it was not prisoner anymore, it was not slave anymore; it was prime minister.
- I don’t know how bad your history has been, I don’t know the name you had before; whatever came to the mind of people whenever your name was mentioned, but I announce to you today, the God of the new beginnings shall give you such a new beginning until everything about your life is changed!
“This is the sixth month with her that was called barren.” That was the testimony of Elizabeth.
- I am here to announce to somebody, whatever they had called you in time past, after tonight, it shall become history!
6). God gave Ruth a new beginning after she had lost her husband and was barren and she was in that marriage for nothing less than 10 years without a child and I don’t know how long she lived after the marriage, but it was a life full of reproach (Ruth 4:13-18).
Ruth was a woman that was to die a barren widow. She lost her husband and no child to live with. Church Gist. You are not a widow and you are not barren, why do you think God will not give you a new beginning? This word is for somebody: that horrible past is about to be replaced with a glorious future!
- The Master Jesus (Acts 2:22-24). Jesus had human and demonic conspiracy to quench His life, but they didn’t know that God was using the situation against the devil himself.
Everyone here that is a victim of demonic conspiracy, witchcraft conspiracy and conspiracy of human beings; the people who hate your faith and hate your guts and your look and your joy; if you are crying permanently, they won’t mind, but because you are shinning, they are agitated.
- Everyone who is a victim of conspiracy and or history. God giving you a new beginning means, He is erasing the difficult or negative past or history. Church Gist. It means that past or history that is difficult and negative, I am deleting it as if it nevethe Church of Jesus in Nigeria, victim of conspiracy; your life, family and destiny, every such conspiracy of the pit of hell; I decree tonight, it is busted!
In summary tonight, what is the implication of the new beginning?
1). The reversal of the negative or difficult past or history. God giving you a new beginning means, He is erasing the difficult or negative past or history. Church Gist. It means that past or history that is difficult and negative, I am deleting it as if it never existed.
You know the man who testified, who was drunk and on drugs, all manner of terrible lifestyle that he lived, until he ran mad with hypertension as well, until he died and in the other realm, he got an encounter with the mantle of this Commission that brought him back to life, hearing the song: “Na re kele” and he came back. Church Gist. He now has cars and properties; he was a wretched wreck. Someone here said, “I know him, we used to drink together.” That person also, who used to drink together with that man three years ago, four years ago, living in a rented house, whose house rent he couldn’t pay three years ago, today, he is in his own duplex in Abuja; three short years. Two children are in UK studying. I am not talking theory; he rented house three years ago, couldn’t pay house rent, now living in a duplex of his own with two children in the UK today, the two children were at the convention we went for recently. These things are drastic.
He was sharing with me two days ago, getting a counsel, he is about to drop about 40 million in an investment. Church Gist. He didn’t have shishi 63 years ago. What a God we serve! New beginnings, that will reverse the past as if it never existed. The reversal of negative, difficult past.
2). The commencement of the positive and desirable future or destiny. When God decides to start with you, the positive and the desirable future is the new beginning. “The life I have been living is not the type I want; this is the life I want” and God says, “I give it to you.”
3). The presentation of new opportunities and possibilities. When God said, “I am the God of a new beginnings, I want to present to you new opportunities and new possibilities. Church Gist. Maybe I lost some opportunities in time past, maybe things were not possible in time past, but the God of the new beginnings, gives to me new opportunities and possiblities.
4). The offering of a second chance to do it right. That was the kind of new beginning that God gave to Jonah, when Jonah was sent to Nineveh and he decided to dodge to Tarshish, God organized the fish that refunded Jonah back to where he was meant to go.
That was the kind of new beginning that God gave to Samson, after Samson messed up the first time. God allowed his hair to grow and he said, “Lord, give me another chance, let me revenge myself upon my enemies” and God gave him that chance and those that died in his death were more than those that died while he lived.
Maybe God had expectations of you in the first six months of the year and you blew it, say, “I will give you another chance to make it up.”
5). The impartation of a new identity. “Let me give you a new name, Jacob, you are now Israel because a new beginning has started.” “Let me give you a new name, Abram, you are now Abraham” and when identity changes destiny can change.
What are the keys to the new beginning?
1). Vision or revelation of the possibility of a new beginning (Isaiah 43:19). What you perceive determines what you possess. “Does it cross your mind? Then, how do you expect it to cross your life? Church Gist. There is a move of the spirit upon the earth, there is something I want to do with your life and family, can you see it? If you can’t see it, how can you seize it?”
2). Desperation and determination for a new beginning (Genesis 32:26).
3). Supplication for a new beginning.
- I prophesy upon someone here tonight, everything that is in your past, that you don’t plan to follow you after tonight, today, they are destroyed!
- That future you desire; “How I wish I can experience this kind of life, today, I decree they are initiated in the name of Jesus!
- The opportunities and possiblities that will change your life and destiny, today, they are released for you!
- The second chance, they are those who squander money wastefully, the way God wanted you to use money was not the way you used it. So, the money disappeared; tithe, you couldn’t pay, giving, you couldn’t give – squander, just wastage. Today, God is offering you a second chance!
- There are people that had positions in time past and you didn’t use that position to glorify God, the reason why God placed you there, you didn’t fulfill it. He will give you another chance!
- I prophesy the second chance to do it right for someone!
- For someone here tonight, your change of identity is here!
Lift your two hands and thank the Lord for the Word you received!
PRAYERS:
- Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. Thank you for a change of story for my life. I receive that Word now in Jesus’ name.
Isaiah 43:18
- Father, I ask for the reversal of every negative or difficult past or history of my life; reverse it, delete it, destroy it, erase tonight in the name of Jesus.
Isaiah 43:19
- Oh God of the new beginnings, I ask that You will commence and initiate in my life today, that positive and desirable future and destiny for me in the name of Jesus.
- Father, I apply for new opportunities and possibilities today, in the name of Jesus and I receive new opportunities and new possibilities today Lord in the of Jesus.
Judges 16:26-28
- Father, I ask for a second chance to please You, to do it right and to do it well. I ask for it and I receive it now.
Genesis 32:228
- Oh God of the new beginnings, I apply for a new identity. Oh God of the new beginnings, grant me a new identity and I receive a new identity now in the of Jesus.
