I thought someone was celebrating God. I thought someone was giving God praise. I thought someone is excited in the house. I thought someone is glad in the house. Someone shouts a loud hallelujah. Someone say my status is changing. No more decline. Decline has declined. Everything that held you down, they have gone down. Your status is changing. A new you are emerging. Lift up your hands and give God thanks given thanks, give Him thanks. Give Him thanks. Magnify God this morning. Give Him praise. Let God hear your voice someone. Register your voice in thanksgiving, in appreciation to this good God who has changed your status, who has changed my status. Give Him praise. Magnify Him. You have not wasted your time. You have not wasted your energy this season. You have tarried in the place of prayer. Stayed on the altar of prayer. God has changed your status. Give Him praise. Thank you, faithful God. Blessed be your name forever.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ. In Jesus precious name we have prayed. In Jesus' mighty name we have given thanks. God is not interested in wasting anyone’s time. He leaves outside of time. Glory to God. This season is to declare to every devil that you have been with God. By reason of the things that will be happening around you, by reason of the events of your life this year, it’ll be clear that God is with you in the precious name of Jesus. It'll be clear He has changed your level. It'll be clear He has change of status. It'll be clear your name has changed. Glory is your new name. Lift up your voice once again and give God thanks because this year unbelievers will testify for you. They will share your own testimonies. Thank you, mighty God. Blessed to be your name forever. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
What a joy to see day 21 of 21. Go ahead, celebrate God. Celebrate God. Even if you came today, even if you came today, give God praise. Father, we thank you. Blessed be your name forever in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. You know God servant said, “This 21-days will be like one day.” It is like one day to me. How about you? Your own doesn't look like one day. It's one day. Glory to God. It's just like it was yesterday we started; I'm still full of energy. Somebody says, I’m full of energy. Glory to God. And you'll be full of testimonies in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Lift up your hands. Ask the Lord for the word. Father in this service, speak to me, speak to me. Send your word my way. Go ahead, ask the Lord for the word. Father, speak to me. Send me my word in this service. Send me my word in this service. Let it come with clarity.

Father, we are grateful to you for answers to prayers all through this 21-days. Thank you for being our shield and our defense, thank you for being our very present help in the time of trouble. And thank you Father for what you're said to do in this service. For the impartation of grace coming upon each one, we give you all the glory. Speak to us yet again. Send your word with power and let it come with clarity. Help our understanding. Let Jesus alone be glorified. All of you, none of me reach each one and satisfy us in this service. For in Jesus precious name we have prayed. In Jesus mighty name, we have prayed.
All of God's wonderful children in the house, shout the loudest amen. Someone here you are confident that God has already changed your level, he has changed your status; let your amen sound like thunder. Go ahead and give the Lord a big, big clap of praise, making it louder for Jesus. Louder yet for Jesus and somebody shout the loudest hallelujah. Glory to God. Please get seated in the presence of God. And if you can help me, welcome someone to your right and to your left. Welcome to church. Welcome to church. Praise God. 2025 is my new era year. I didn't hear you. Praise God. 2025 is my new era year. Congratulations. Amen and amen. Glory to God. I'm sure someone is excited to be here. Now, for that wonderful choir administration. Give the Lord a big, big clap of praise. Glory to God. I think I should be sending more pastor to the choir. In case, you are sitting down there; you’re anointed to sing, to minister, don’t sit down and waste your time. Join in the choir. Join any other unit. The Lord bless you as you do, in Jesus precious name. Please can you take out some of echo from this mic if you can reduce it? Glory to God.
Now before we get into the word, we'd like to bring to your attention what God servants has declared to us. A prophetic season of supernatural turnaround. Glory God, I'm sure the ushers have this. If you have them, please quickly share all. Have they given you already? Ushers, do you have them? Please move like lightning and give it out. Glory to go. Now, from February 1st to the end of April is declared prophetic season of supernatural turnaround after the order of Boredom. The Ark of the Lord spent 3-months in the house of Obededom. He became King David’s envy. Glory to God. You know what the ark did before they sent it to Obededom house? He killed someone. They were carrying the ark. It wobbled a little bit and someone stepped out and tried to stabilize it; the man died. David was taking the ark to the city of David, to his house. But when he saw that someone was killed by the ark, he said, no, don't bring it to me anymore. I don't want people in my house to die. I don't want to die myself. I believe this Obededom was a nobody. They said, “Put in Obededom's house, let him die.” Glory to God. But in 3-months, Obededom became mega. Somebody said mega.
The Bible said that the Lord blessed Obededom and his household. There's a difference between the two. A man is not his household. You know when you are filling out forms in the US they say household. Household is everyone living with you? Whether they are servants, whether they are friends, anyone. So, everyone who live with Edan was also blessed. And when David saw it, David said, “Yes, this is the God I know, the one who blesses bring the ark and bring it to my house.” So that's what you stand to see these 3-months. Someone says a loud amen. What does it take? It takes simple obedience to the instruction. What is the instruction? Between 1st of February and the last day of April, make sure that you have three souls. How many souls? Somebody says three only. Means, February one, March one, April one. Many here can go beyond that. Someone says amen to that. And as you do that, the Obededom order of blessing is coming upon you and your household. I thought someone was saying loud. Amen. Glory to God. Do you all have it now? If you don't, raise up your hand. Let me see. There are still a few people here. Ushers, some people don't have. Glory to God.
The last day is everybody's day. The last day is your day, John 7: 37. “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried saying, ‘If any man thirst, let him come onto me and drink.’ So, what you need today is a thirst. Somebody says thirst, if you're thirsty, he'll fill you. God reserved the best for the last. I see a commotion of testimonies. I see a downpour of miracles in the precious name of Jesus Christ. If yours is included, shout a louder. Amen.
Prophet focus for the month is wonders of prayer and fasting. Wonders of prayer and fasting. Our teaching series for Sunday services this month is caption, Engaging the Wonders of Prayer and Fasting Part IV. This is the concluding part, glory to God. Now, it is important to know that God has blessing for everyone and that includes you. Somebody says includes me. But the truth is, what comes to you is based on what you expect. What you don't expect you don't deserve. So, I expect nothing from God; He gives you nothing. So, the question is what do you expect? What is your expectation? Because that's what God is going to visit you with. Glory to God. Proverb 23:18, “The Bible said, “For surely there's an end; and thine expectations shall not be cut off.” Expectation is a covenant requirement for all supernatural manifestations. Matter of fact, in this commission we say that expectation is the mother of the miraculous. Expectation is the mother of the miraculous, is the mother of manifestations.
Proverb 24:14. He says, “So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul; when thou have found it, then there shall be a reward and thy expectation shall not be cut off.” Someone, say amen to that. What do we mean when we say expectation is the definition of faith? When your faith is in place, you expect what God has said or promise you and you hold fast to it. God says so; I believe him, it'll be delivered. That's expectation. Glory to God. Why? Because God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all you even ask him or think. Ephesians 3:20. So faith puts believers in command of the supernatural. And what is faith? The substance of things hopes for. The substance of things expected. Hebrew 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” In other words, faith is the substance of unseen realities. Glory to God.
SCRIPTURALLY OUTCOME OF A FAST
So, what do you expect this season? The same thing that happened last year? Somebody say, no, it should be a new experience. And that is coming to pass for you. I said, it's coming to pass for you in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Now, let me list out some scriptural. The following are scripturally expected outcomes of a fast. What are we to expect from a fast?
- Number one upgrade of one spiritual empowerment and authority.
Upgrade of spiritual empowerment and authority. Psalm 63:1. “Oh God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee; my soul thirsted for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry s and thirsty land where no water is.” Verse 2, “To see thy power and thy glory, so I have seen thee in the sanctuary.” And verse 3, “Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.” To see thy power, that's why we are fasting. To get to the realms of empowerment. Luke 4:1, “And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost return from Jordan and was led by the spirit into the wilderness.” And he went there 40-days, 40-nights. Verse 2. “He spent 40- nights and 40-days in that wilderness being tempted of the devil.” Luke 4:2. And in those days the Bible said he did eat nothing. And at the end he was hungry. But he came out of that temptation, smoking with power, glory to God. And verse 14, the Bible says, “And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galilee; and there went out a fame of him through all the region roundabouts.” It started from verse one.
He received empowerment, went in, ate nothing. 40-days, 40-nigts. You and I have done 21- days, you are not the same. The same person who started this fast is not the same person coming out. I thought I'm hearing a loud amen. It is an empowered you coming out of this fast in the precious name of Jesus, a you that the devil will recognize. You know, he'll say, I know him, I know her, but leave them alone, leave her alone. That becomes your testimony. You know when he said Jesus, I know; Paul, I know. He said, “Who are you?” That is, you have no identity so you can't speak to me. What he was saying was that if Paul or if Jesus has said to me, come out, I'll come out. If Paul has said the same, I'll come out. But you don't have the right to say so. No devil will argue with you this year. I didn’t your loud amen. I said, no Satan, no devil, no demon will argue with you this year in the name of Jesus Christ.
Luke 4:36 says, “And they were all amazed, and speak among themselves saying, what a word is this. For with authority and power, he commanded the unclean spirit and they came out.” They come out. Glory to God. This year, when you pray for the sick, they'll be healed. I didn't hear your loud amen. No one will have the privilege to be praying for you for healing because you’ll be sound. Somebody say I’ll be sound this year. Somebody say I’ll will be healthy this year. When you go to the hospital, it is just for routine checkup. You know when you take children who are healthy to the hospital, they say, well child checkup, so your own will be well man checkup. Well woman checkup, glory to God. You will not be a patient in any hospital. No doctor will have the privilege to experiment with you in the name of Jesus Christ. So, you're entering into a season of amazement. They were amazed at Jesus and they were all amazed, Luke 4:36. So people will be amazed at you this year. They won't understand where we are coming from, but they won't be able to deny your result in the precious name of Jesus Christ. So, what are we expecting from a fast?
- Number two, a new realm of access to revelations.
So, no more blindfolding, I said, no more blindfolding. When you look into scriptures, the scriptures will open to you. You’ll have access to the deep things of God in the name of Jesus Christ. II Corinthians 4:4, He’s saying “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” He blinded their minds. And we have said multiple times that the blind mind is worse than a blind eye. A man's physical eyes could be blind, but if the mind is alive, we have some of them in the world today. They'll do exploits even with blind. But once the mind is blinded, the person is stagnated, is tall. Nothing blind folds you this year in the precious name of Jesus Christ. I said, nothing blindfolds you this year in Jesus mighty name.
Matthew 17:19, “The disciples came to Jesus. They brought him apart and they asked, why could we not cast this devil?” A man brought the son who had the spirit of insanity and the disciples could not cast that spirit out. And they brought him to Jesus. And he said, “Because of your unbelief, because you have no faith, he said, I say unto you, if you shall have faith as the grain of a mustard seed, you shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place and it shall be removed and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Underline that last phrase. Nothing shall be impossible unto you. Nothing shall be impossible unto you. You see, God is a specialist in impossibility. What men call impossible, that is God's territory. Glory to God. When they begin to say it cannot happen, leave it to God because that's what he specializes in. So, nothing shall be impossible to you in 2025, in the precious name of Jesus Christ.
“He said unto them, howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” By prayer and by fasting. God will give you depth. I said, God will give you depth. Jesus knew what to do, he knew what to do. Every time he had access to revelation, he said, this one needs prayer and fasting. You ask, was he fasting himself? Possibly. But even if he wasn't fasting that day, he has cooked up power from previous fast. Glory to God. You see, this year by the energy and the strength, the power you are generating this season, when you speak to demons, they will respect. They will obey you. The Bible says as soon as they hear of me, they'll obey me. It's says stranger shall fade away to where? Their hiding places. Glory to God. Meaning that this year, your words will be commands in the precious name of Jesus Christ.
- Number three, what do we expect from a fast? Restoration of health and vitality. Restoration of health. So, someone health is being restored this season. I said, your health is restored this season. Psalm 107:27 say “His word and healed them and that word delivered them from their destruction. Luke 5: 17, he says, "And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.” The last part, the power of God was present to heal them. Isaiah 33:24, The inhabitants shall not say I am sick.” This year, you'll not be saying that. I said this year, you'll not be telling anyone you are sick in the precious name of Jesus. “The inhabitants shall not say I am sick. The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven the iniquity.” So, you'll not be calling anyone to tell them you are sick. And like I mentioned, when you go to hospital, it's just for routine checkup. Glory to God. And many here will be going to give birth to their children, including those who are called barren. Receive that in the name of Jesus Christ.
- What do we expect from a fast? A new realm of dominion over sin, a new realm of dominion over sin. We just saw in Isaiah 33:24, he says, “And the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their sin.” That's not a license to continue to sin. He says, “Shall we continue in sin that grace may bound? Say what? God forbid, glory to God. So, sin will no longer have dominion over you and me. I said, sin will no longer have dominion over you and I in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Malachi 3:1. He says, “I will send my messenger and he shall prepare the way before me. The Lord whom you seek shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant whom you delight in. Behold, he shall come sayeth the Lord of hosts.” He says, “But who may abide the day of his coming and who shall stand when he appeared? For he is like aa refiner’s fire and like a fuller’s soap.” Glory to God. Soap washes off impurities, washes of. dirt. Look at verse 3. He says, “And He shall sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver and he shall purify the sons of Levi and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.” Somebody says an offering in righteousness. “Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, as in former years. God will not reject things from your hands. I didn’t hear your loud amen.
You can't bribe God. You can't brag God. If you commit sin and bring a gift to him, he won't take from you. He said, “Take away your thing. Take away your offering. Take away your sons from me.” Why? Your hands are filthy, dirty hands, but not this year, not 2025. Righteousness will announce you I and this year in the precious name of Jesus Christ. It says II Corinthians 3:18. “But we all with open face beholding us in the glass, the glory of the Lord is changed or transfigure.” Hear this, there's no transfiguration in the midst of sin. Sin is an impediment to transfiguration. That word change is the same word for transfigure into the same image. The image of God from glory to glory, appearing like him, looking like him. This year when they see you, they will see Christ. I said, when they see you this year, they'll see Christ in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Roman 6:14. He says, “For sin shall not have dominion over you.” Somebody says, sin shall not have dominion over me. So, this is not a year where we will be saying that I had no power, I couldn't help it. You'll help it. You'll overcome all temptations. Hear this, to be tempted, is not a sin. It is falling that is the sin. Jesus was tempted, the Bible said, in everywhere as we are, but without sin. So, this year you overcome those temptations in the mighty name of Jesus. Maybe last year, you fell into temptations here and there. Not this year, this year you'll be clean. This year, God will make a boast of you and I in the precious name of Jesus Christ. You know, David got to the point in his life where he had dominion over sin. There was a time where sin had dominion over him. Yes, that's when he was on top of the roof and saw what he shouldn't be seeing. He won't go to war when others are going to war. Kings we're going to war. David didn't go. All of that is manifestation of the dominion of sin. Just pushing you, pushing you. You know, Paul was saying the good I want to do, I can't do it. He says, “But the evil I don't want to do, that's the one I see myself doing. That the dominion of sin, the mystery of iniquity. It's also dissolved by the mystery of righteousness, glory to God. And that's available in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is available to you and me, glory to God.
But Psalm 19:13, David started to pray to break the dominion of sin over his life. He said, “Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins.” Did you see that? He said, “Let them not have dominion over me.” That's a good prayer. Presumption sin. The sin that so easily takes me down. He said, “Then shall I be upright and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.” Someone says amen to that. So, this year, sin won't dominate over you in the name of Jesus, Jesus had power over sin. Satan told him, he said, “Look at stone. You are very hungry, right? Now, turn it into bread so you can feed yourself.” He said, “No, it's written men shall not live by bread alone.” He didn't leave him alone. He continued, took him. He said, “Cast yourself down. It is written also, since you're quoting, let me quote also for you. He'll give his angel charge over you. He said, no, no, no, you, your quo it upside down. You know, Satan quote scriptures. The occultic world, l I told you before, they use the Bible as well. Some use this Bible. Many of them read the Bible more than you and I. It shouldn't be, not this year. You'll devour the scriptures. Someone says amen to that.
And God answered David and took him out of the dominion of sin. And that's why he ended his life till as a man after God heart. Conversely, Solomon did not have dominion over sin. Sin had perpetual dominion over Solomon till the end. That's why he saw in scriptures how he ended. He had 1000 wives, 1000 women by himself. He became an idol worshiper. Hear this, if sin rules over you, you'll be shocked at the things you'll be doing. Instead of you being a surprise positively to yourself, you become a surprise negative. How did I get here? Am I the one who…? You'll be crying and yet still doing the thing. Somebody, say, God forbid; not this year. Say it loud not this year. Glory to God.
- Number five, what do we expect from a fast? Like we have engaged, clarity of divine direction.
I like this, clarity of divine direction. So, this year God will be guiding you. I said, you'll not be confused this year in the name of Jesus Christ. Isaiah 58:11, he said, “And the Lord shall guide thee continually.” Somebody says continually, not sometimes, not most times, continually. Father, where do I go from this? Hear this, divine guidance can turn you into a mega star. Divine guidance. Don't do this. This is the right one to do. Don't invest in this business; invest in this other one. You say, but no one is doing this one. He says, yes, but that's the one to invest in. And then when suddenly your profit comes in, your dividends begins to accrue, everyone is saying how. They'll suspect you that you knew something, you knew God. This year will be that year for you in the by name of Jesus Christ. Psalm 32:8, “I'll instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shall go.” There is way for profiting. In the way, not every way is good. Matter of fact, not every way that seems good is God's way. In the way that thou should go. He says, “I will guide thee with my eye.” That means when God looks at you, you will understand what he's saying. Glory to God.
You know, some parents used to speak to their children like that. You look at their faces, look at their eyes. They know exactly what you're saying, right? Growing up those days when we’re in the house, my dad is in the house and their visitors in the house, he wouldn't use words, he uses his eyes. Visitors are there. Once he looks at you and looks at the door, that means escape. Move. If you don't, when that visitor leaves, you're in trouble. You are in. So, we knew the language. He looks at you, looks at the door, escape, go out. You just carry yourself. You tell the visitor, bye. Glory to God. But these days, you know, some children, when you look at them too much, they'll say, daddy, why are you not blinking? Blink, blink, daddy, blink. Blink. Why are you not blinking? But God is saying, I will instruct you with my eyes. I will guide you; when you see my eyes, you know what I'm saying. Someone says amen to that. So, the people around you won’t know what God is saying to you, but God is speaking to you and guiding you. Someone says amen to that.
What else do we expect from a fasting season? End of dry season. I didn't hear a loud amen. End of dry season. As we keep following where God leads, end of dry season. So, this season will be wet for you. You know, dryness does not allow fruitfulness. Whenever you see dryness they say drought. There was a time for some long period of time, California had no rain. They said that California was drifting into a drought, always dry, dry. But I think sometime maybe 2-years ago or last, no, 2-years ago, this is 2025, they had rain to the point that all the rain that did not fall in one year fell in one month. They said, “This is too much.” I say, yes, enjoy it so that you can have abundance. Glory it to God. This year, your rain will fall. I said this year your rain will fall. It won't cause flooding for you. It'll flood your enemies and get them out of your side. But for you it'll bring abundance, it'll bring fruitfulness in the mighty name of Jesus.
So, God is terminating dryness. Isaiah 58:11. He says, “And the Lord shall guide thee continually and satisfy thy soul in drought and make fat thy bones it. And thou shall be like a watered garden, not a dry garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.” Underline that in your Bible if is not on the line already. “Whose waters fail not.” Your water will not fail this year in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Your business will not fail this year. Your career will not be a concern this year in the precious name of Jesus. Psalm 23, he said,” The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” When he's the one leading you, you won't want, he is shepherding you into plenty. He is shepherding you into abundance. He is shepherding you into surplus, making you a lender to many and never a borrower. I said, this year you won't borrow in the precious name of Jesus. Verse 2, he says, “He maketh me lie down in green pastures because there's water in green pastures, not dried pastures, not brown pastures. He leaded me beside still waters, right?” Not the one flooding and carrying you; not dangerous waters, still waters that you have access to. “He restored my soul, leaded me in the path of righteousness for his namesake righteousness, for his name sake. Yay. Though I walked through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for thou are with me. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” Say amen to that.
And verse 5, “Thou prepare the table before me in the presence of my enemy.” Why? The enemies will be there. But if he’s the one guiding you, forget about enemies, they can't do anything, glory to God. He says, “Thou anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows. My cup runneth over, surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and you and I would dwell in the house of the Lord. Someone says a loud amen to that. Isaiah 48:21, “They thirsted not when he led them and they fasted not when he led them through the desert. Yes, He let them through the desert where that you have no water, but they thirsted not, glory to God. He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them. He clave the rock also and the waters gush out. That becomes your testimony. I said that is your testimony. Waters coming out of the rock this year from the most unlikely of sources, your blessing will come true. People you don't expect will bless you this year. Some businesses where it looks like it's already going down, God will give you mega profits in the precious name of Jesus. And they thirsted not, so the season of thirsting is over for you in the precious name of Jesus Christ.
- What else do we expect from the fast? The hand of God becoming evident in our household and generations after us. Say a loud amen to that.
He said in Isaiah 58:12, “And they that shall be of thee”. That is your descendants, your children, grandchildren. They shall build the old waste places. Thou shall raise up the foundation of many generations and thou shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. That becomes your testimony. So, God is using this, setting the stage for you to become a generational blessing. Matter of fact, a transgenerational blessing that people coming from you when your great-grandchildren remember you, they'll thank God for you. Glory to God. So, shall it be for you. So, no small people from your lineage, someone didn’t hear what I said. No small people from your lineage, no mediocre people from your lineage, great men, great women coming out of your lineage in the precious name of Jesus Christ.
Psalm 112:1, “Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandment. His seed shall be mighty upon the earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.” Look at what he says. Verse three, “Wealth and riches shall be in his house and his righteousness endureth forever.” Wealth, riches, righteousness. Say those three. Say it loud, not wealth, riches, and crookedness. Wealth, richest and righteousness, that's what your children will know you for. That's what your grandchildren will know you for. That's what your great-grandchildren will know you for. I said some time ago, there are people who have dropped them owns names, especially Africa, whose father were tormentors of the nation because if they carry their father's name, they won't allow them access to point of entry. Matter of fact, if they managed to get to point of entry, they might send them back to where they're coming from. Why? Because of their atrocities committed by their fathers. Many of them have dropped their father’s name. No one will drop your name. Nobody will drop your name. Even after you are long gone from old age, your children will celebrate your name in the precious name of Jesus.
- Number eight, what else do you expect from a fast? New era order of supernatural, change of story.
Isaiah 58:14, He says, ’Then shall thou delight thyself in the Lord and I'll cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth.” Say a loud man if you're part of that. “And feed thee with the heritage of Jacob, thy father, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. This here is very deep. There's a lot of depth there. The heritage of Jacob, maybe I need to tell you a little bit about that. The heritage of Jacob is a lot, is vast. It's big, glory God. Now look at Deuteronomy 32:9, he says, “For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.” Look at verse 10, “He found him in the desert land and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him the apple of his eye.” That's one heritage of Jacob. You are the apple of God's eyes. He's just jealous over you. Any devil daring you, they're daring. God. Say amen to that. Look at verse 11, he says, “As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings. So, the Lord alone did lead him and there was no strange god with him. He made him ride on the high places of the earth that he might eat the increase of the fields and he made him suck honey out of the rock and the oil out of the flinty rock.” That's speaking about Jacob. Glory to God.
So, Jacob, the heritage of Jacob is a turnaround heritage. Turnaround heritage, heritage of plenty. It's a heritage of abundance. That's where God is taking you and I this year. Heritage of abundance. Somebody says abundance. Heritage of overflow, glory to God. It is a heritage of change from a fugitive to a prevailing prince, from a fugitive to a prevailing prince. Jacob was running away from his brother, right? He ran to Laban. But you see, this man while he was preparing to meet his brother, God turned him into a prince. Glory to God. Genesis 32:28, he says, “And he said, thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel; for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and you are prevailed.” This year you’ll prevailed. 2025, you'll prevail. You'll not just travail but you'll prevail in the precious name of Jesus Christ. It's a heritage of fear, change of level from fear to dominion, from fear to dominion, glory to God, from servitude to lordship. How about that? From servitude to Lordship.
You know he served Laban as a servant. He served him multi-serve 7-years for one daughter and another 7-years and another 7-years, just perpetual service to 21 plus years; he was still serving as the servant. But you see, when his season of dominion came, the heritage of Jacob started to speak. This man was in charge. Glory to God. The Bible speaking says that he had servants. Genesis 30:43. Quickly, Genesis 30:43 says, “And the man increased exceedingly.” Somebody says exceedingly. “And had much cattle and maidservants and menservants and camels, and asses. That's why we're talking about going from servitude to lordship. That's the heritage of Jacob. How can a servant have servants? It's no more a servant. A servant having servant; male, servant female servant is no longer a servant. The season of servitude is over for someone here in the precious name of Jesus. You'll not be a servant anymore. God is making you a Lord in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Isaiah 43:19, “Behold, I do a new thing.” God is doing a new thing for you. I said, God is doing a new thing for you this year. This year, you’ll see new things. I speak and prophesize to someone this year you'll see new things. This year, you’ll see new blessings. This year, you’ll see new liftings. This year, you'll see new raisings, new testimonies in the name of Jesus. So, he says, don't remember the former things. I'm doing a new thing. You’ll be a partaker.
Now, take note that everyone has it according to their expectations. What you don't expect you don't deserve. Write it down. If you have not written it, what you don't expect you don't deserve. Life will not deliver to you what you deserve, but what you demand and what you demand is what you expect. Everyone places a demand on what they expect to have. You have what you demand in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Matthew 9: 28 and 29. Go straight to verse 29. “Then touch he their eyes, saying, according to your faith, be unto you.” Meaning, if you have no faith, nothing happens. So, in the kingdom it is to everyone according to their faith. Not according to the faith of your husband, not according to the faith of your wife, not according to the faith of your pastor, according to your faith. Someone says according to my faith. So, your faith has to be in place. But I see your faith come alive. I see your faith grow this year and I see God delivers strange things into your hands in the name of Jesus Christ.
Today is our monthly impartation service. Let me say this, that giants are only born of giants. It is not possible for giants to give birth to dwarfs. Glory to God. Giants are born of giants and I can announce to you, you're a seed of a giant. Glory to God. II Samuel 21:20. says, “And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand, six fingers and on every foot six toes, four and 20 in number; and he also was born to the giants”. He was a giant. He had instead of five, his own was six; toes instead of five, he has six. So, 24 in number glory to God. But he was born of giant. That means he's like those who gave birth to him. Now look at verse 22. He said, “These four were born to the giants in Gath and fell by the hand of David.” They were all giants. So, giants will beget giants. Glory to God. If you are tall here, very tall, that should be in your gene. It will reflect in your children. Glory to God. If your wife is not, is the opposite of you. Some will take after your wife, glory to God. So that means it's a balance of equation. Some may be halfway, glory to God. But if you see two tall people, they'll have long children, not tall, long, longitude, longitude, children, glory to God.
So, it is what it is inside of you and the gene you have is the gene of greatness. Somebody says, I'm a great man; say, I'm a great woman. Glory to God. So, take note of this, that prophets are sent as fathers to whomsoever they're sent. In this commission, we're privileged to have a prophet who speaks the mind of God per time. And what has come out this season is that it's a new era for you and I and that will manifest in your life in the precious name of Jesus Christ. They are sent as fathers. You know, it's unfortunate, there are some who are too familiar with their prophets and familiarity, they tell us is what? To breach respect. Familiarity breaches, respect. People come outside of the commission and they gain access to some strange testimonies. Someone called me sometime last year, no, the year before last, “Hello pastor”. I say, “Yes sir,” “I need to give an offering towards the end of the year. I was on vacation”. I said, “Hold on.” Until he said, “No, I'm not a member of your church. I'm not even a member of the commission, but I have an offering to sow and I need to sow it this week.” By reason of the blessing of God upon my life, something heavy by connection. How much more you and I who are directly under the bishop, under God servants as his spiritual children, the blessing should begin from you and I. Say a loud amen.
Mark 6:6. will not find expression in our lives. He could dare do no mighty works. Jesus marveled at the unbelief. His family commonise him. Who is he? He could there do no mighty works but not here. Prophet are sent as fathers. II Kings 2: 12. “Elijah saw it and cried, My father, my father.” Elisha was calling Elijah my father, my father. Matter of fact, Elisha was known as the prophet that poured water in the hands of Elijah. Elisha poured water. He was the servant. He called him my father. In II Kings 6:21-23, we see there where the King of Israel also called Elisha. II King 6:21, “And the king of Israel said unto Elijah when he saw them, my father, shall I smite them? A king, he didn't say, no, I'm a king. Why shall I be calling a prophet my father? No, they are sent as father’s spiritual fathers to whoever will receive them. I pray you receive them in your heart. I pray you receive God's servant in your heart. I'm not a prophet, but I'm a bonafide son of the prophet. I can tell you that. I'm a certified son of the prophet.
This morning, I had an encounter in the realm of the spirit where God servant impacted me to impart you. Glory to God. So, this impartation will work in your life. I said, this impartation will work for you and me in the precious name of Jesus Christ. So, this is not human worship, as some will say, is given honor to whom it is due. As you do it, honor is coming upon you. I said honour is coming upon you. So, as we all know, inheritance pertains only to sons and daughters. Proverb 13:22, says “A good man leaveth inheritance to his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.” If you are in a family and you are not connected to them by blood, when it is time for inheritance, they'll excuse you. True or false? Step aside, it's time for serious business. We want to share inheritance. You’re not part of it. That is the truth. So, inheritance is for sons, it's for daughter. Glory it to God. So, whatever God’s servant carried will locate you. I said it'll locate you and I. Except you are a disowned child. Except you're disowned child. But I know you are not disowned. I'm not disowned. Glory to God.
I have experienced this firsthand. I was with someone who my father said, “Go meet this man.” I was in a city where far away from home said, “Go and meet this my friend,” who was like a brother to him and stayed there. I stayed with him and I served him to the point that one day he announced, he said, I have added Fidel to my will. I've added Fidel to my will. That's supernatural breakthrough. I don't know what you call to be with someone and you are not a member of the family. The man has many children and they tell you, I have added you to my will, meaning the inheritance that will be shared, you'll be a partake. Glory to God. But you see, since the man passed, I've not asked what my inheritance is. It's been over two decades now. I've not asked what my inheritance is. Why? I don't need it. I didn't serve him because I wanted inheritance. I serve him the way I serve my father. It’s just that his children were not like that. They were not the people who serve. He always says, see the way this man's son is serving me? a That's why he added me. And you see, because inheritance is for sons and daughter, if I show up and take that inheritance, it can cause enemy between myself and the children. That's the truth. Those days, they used to say, you're our father's son. So why would I?
So, inheritance is for children. It's for sons and for daughters. You are a bonafide child of this commission, a bonafide daughter and son of this commission. That inheritance will locate you in the name of Jesus Christ. It won't pass you by in the man name of Jesus Christ. So, by this impartation, everything that works for God’s servant will work for you and me. I didn’t hear your loud amen. Whatever works in his hand will work in your hand? Whatever will not molest him, will not molest you anymore in the mad name of Jesus, God’s servant is not poor; you and I will not be poor. God’s servant is not barren; no more barrenness in the name of Jesus. God’s servant is not a confused man. He's a man of intellect, sound wisdom. You need to hear some things, some sound dimension of wisdom that people marvel at, that becomes your testimony, that becomes your portion in the married name of Jesus, no more trial and error. God speaks to him by voice; he will speak to you. Rise to your feet, lift up your hands and give God thanks. Lift up your hands. Celebrate God this morning; give Him praise. Now, you're child of God, you're a son of God, you're daughter of God. Let him hear your voice. Let him hear your voice. Give Him thanks from your heart. Celebrate Him. Thank you, faithful God. Blessed that be your name forever. To you alone be all praise. Thank you and thank you mighty God, in Jesus' precious name, we have prayed. In Jesus' mighty name, we have prayed. You believe in God. That's one way. Another way is to believe in his prophets. II Chronicles 20:20. You believe in God. Yes, you believe also in his prophets. You don't look down on the prophets. Hear this, the prophets you despise cannot bless you. The anointing you despise cannot profit you. Glory to God. But this one will profit you in the name of Jesus Christ.
ALTAR CALL / REDEDICATION
All eyes close; all heads bow. Before we get into the mantle ministration this morning, I'd like to pray for someone giving you an opportunity to become a child of the house, to become a child of the house, a son in case you are not connected. I give you an opportunity to establish that connection today. Wherever you are right now, under the sound of my voice, all eyes closed, all heads bowed, I'd like the privilege to pray with you. Maybe you are not yet born again. You have been looking for an opportunity. I present that opportunity to you in this service. You want to say yes to Jesus. You want to make Him your Lord and your Savior. Maybe there's no relationship right now. You have no relationship with your father. He loves you still. He sent his son to die for you and me to bring us into the beloved. I'd like the privilege to pray with you wherever you are, to give your life over to Christ. Wherever you are, signify, lift up your hand above your head and give me the privilege to pray with you so that the impartation will work for you, so that the impartation will work for you. Wherever you are signifying, lift up your head above your head as I pray with you. Don't be ashamed. Don't be ashamed. You are not yet born again. You are not a child of God. You know that if Jesus were to return now, you have no portion, no part with him; that should change in this service. You want to give your life to Christ. Lift up your head above your head as I pray with you. You can place that hand on your chest. Put your hand on your chest as I pray with you.
I make a second call before I pray, I make a second call. For someone else, you were born again, but right now there's a disconnect. You're no longer in the faith and you know it. You have stepped back. All you need to do is to step up to your father and rededicate your life to Christ. He will take you back. You want to rededicate your life to Christ. I like the privilege to pray with you as well. Place your hand on your chest, your right hand, preferably. Place your right hand on your chest. I see your hand on your chest over there. That's the mark of sincerity. The Lord bless you, the Lord bless you. Someone else is thinking, should I, should I not? Put your hand on your chest. If you're not yet born again, you are not a child of God or you want to rededicate your life to Christ, place your right hand on your chest and say this simple prayer with me. Say, Lord Jesus, say it loud. Lord Jesus, I come to you today. I know that I'm a sinner, but I know you died for me. On the third day, you rose again for my justification. Jesus, come into my heart. Be my Lord and my savior. Forgive me all my sins. Wash me with your blood. From today, I know I'm cleansed, I'm washed, born again. I'm reconnected to Christ. I'm a child of God. I am free from the power of sin and Satan to serve the living God. Thank you, my father, for saving me. Glory to God.
Now, if you said that prayer, you have just given your life to Christ or you have just rededicated your life to Christ, and I can tell you the truth. There's joy in heaven. There's joy in the house. I know there's joy in your heart as well. I'd like you to take a step of faith. If you said that prayer with me, just come here to the front and receive a seal for that decision. You said that prayer with me, don't be ashamed. Step out here and join me in front. The Lord bless you. The Lord bless you. The Lord bless you. Someone is still out there. Someone is still out there. You said that prayer with me. Step out here and join me here in front. Join me here in front as I placed a seal on that decision. Don't be ashamed. You prayed to give your life to Christ or rededicate your life to Christ. Don't be ashamed. Join me in front here and receive a seal on the decision that you have made. Glory to God. Thank you, faithful God, in Jesus precious name. The Lord bless you. I pray for you right now.
