BREAKING LIMITATIONS
introduction
CHAPTER
ONE
In the world, they say that if the price is right, you will be bought
What is your price? Pharoah is looking for your buying price; he wants
to know how much you can be bought for. Are you for sale?
He will throw you some crumbs here and there just to see if these little
comforts will stop your worship business. This one is too prayerful, he
will reason. Let me preoccupy him with a job and after the job comes,
he will no longer show up in crucial church gatherings. This one is too
committed, he will observe. Let me try and distract her with a wrong
relationship in her life. This other one has really been pursuing God in
his finances; let me see if new self projects can displace his love for
God.
Pharaohs negotiations are the reason behind key changes in people.
For instance, when they get married, though previously committed and
in hard pursuit after God, they now walk into church services with a
newspaper at 11 oclock or 12 oclock in the Sunday service saying life
is good. They dont even have a Bible, just newspapers and flashing
big golden rings. Say aloud: Those are victims of Pharaoh. Their price
has been allocated, they have been found. The brother was vigilant
and the sister given to the things of God. I pray that you dont change
my friend. Remain committed.
Exod 10:24-26
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, "Go, worship the
LORD. Even your women and children may go with you; only
leave your flocks and herds behind."
But Moses said, "You must allow us to have sacrifices and
burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God.
Our livestock too must go with us; not a hoof is to be left
behind. We have to use some of them in worshipping the LORD
our God, and until we get there we will not know what we are
to use to worship the LORD."
(NIV)
Put this deep in your spirit Child of God! I AM NOT UP FOR SALE, I
CANNOT BE BOUGHT. Essentially, Moses was showing Pharaoh that he
did not have a bargaining price. The same is true for me; nothing can
buy me because I am sold out to the will of God and to His will I will
forever stand.
CHAPTER TWO
FIND HIS BREAKING POINT
Pharaoh only lets you go when he must. So you must find his breaking
point because he has A BREAKING POINT. I hope you understand that
all the while when we talk about Pharaoh in these instances, we mean
forces things like lack, scarcity, poverty, disease, relational stress,
mental stress, restlessness etc. These are things you must identify in
your life and remain adamant until you locate their breaking point.
They have a breaking point.
I want us to look at one of Pharaohs breaking points; one of the
things that broke Pharaoh. We can only find this in the book of Exodus
which by the way means EX (to leave) and ODUS (Journey). Every
deliverance necessitates a leaving and ordains a journey. Thats
where we get the word EXIT which means the way out. If you want to
know the way out of any bondage, limitation or prison, go and read
exodus. (If you have financial trouble, marital stress, mental turmoil
etc.) Sit down with the book of exodus, it will show you how to get out,
how to exit.
Exodus 12:29
Now it come at about midnight that the Lord struck all the first
born in Egypt, and the first born of Pharoah who sat in his
throne, to the first born of the captive who was in the
dungeon, and all the first born of cattle. (Can you imagine that
even the first born of the cows died) Verse 30: and Pharoah arose in
the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians and
there was a great city in Egypt for there was no home where
there was not someone dead. I like it when God decides to prove
himself) Verse 31: then he called for Moses and Aaron at night,
(With this one he cant say, let the frogs go away tomorrow. This one
he wakes in the night and calls Aaron and Moses.), and said, get out
from among my people, both you and the sons of Israel and go
worship the Lord your God as you have said. Verse 32, take
both your flocks and your herds as you have said and go and
bless me also)
There comes a time when your tormentors ask for your prayer. There
comes a time when you must look for the breaking point of your
enemy because he has one. Remember that Persistence will always
wear out resistance. Your foes have a breaking point. You must not
give up until you get to their breaking point. It either you or them, they
either break you or you break them! Please decide that in this matter,
one of us must give up and its not going to be me. I am getting out of
limitation despite Pharaoh being a hard man, a stubborn man and a
master negotiator. He will negotiate anything and everything. For
example, you may want to give ten thousand dollars as an offering but
you find that he negotiates with you until you release only three
hundred dollars. He has identified the floor and ceiling of your finances.
His next assignment is to cage you in this level. Why hasnt God ever
spoken in your heart and said instead of giving one thousand give two
thousand? Because its Pharoah you are listening to. Though he sees
signs and wonders, he is still a hard task master. But we are breaking
out of limitation. Say aloud: I AM BREAKING OUT OF LIMITATION.
If you know what is in store for you, you will do all that is in your power
to break out. Mark Hankins is a man of God that I love so much and he
is such a blessing. He is a real faith preacher, and is fond of saying if
you know what is on the other side of your mountain, you will move
your mountain. Its only that you dont know what is on the other side
of your mountain, so you go before God and speak to Him about your
mountain; Oh God, look at this mountain etc.) But God says speak
to your mountain.
Say aloud: If you know what is on the other side of your mountain, you
will move your mountain.
Its because we have never had a clear picture of what Canaan is and
thus the reason for all the spiritual games that we play. We play
around but just two, three scriptures should deposit within us
revelation that Canaan was the most amazing place and in our day and
time, Canaan represents the victorious life we live in Christ.
You cant compare the way of the world with Canaan, you just cant.
The other day, I sat with one of the richest, wealthiest men in this town
and he told me of his amazing accomplishments in this town and u
know this town is one of the most high ranked towns in this country.
He told me of his achievements far and wide, he lamented that all this
time there was this meaninglessness and emptiness in his heart and
he kept wondering, is this it. The bible says, its better to eat a meal of
herbs, it didnt say you should just be eating meals of herbs but it
compared and said its better to eat a meal of herbs and have peace.
But it didnt say that you should not eat meat, it said it is better. Some
have used that scripture wrongly. They have become vegetarians.
Some are vegetarians by default because the money is not readily
available to buy meat. If you want to be vegetarian, let it be by choice.
This land God spoke of, according to Abraham, He called it the land of
Promise. According to Daniel and some scriptures in Psalms, He calls it
the pleasant land; other versions call it the beautiful land. But in
Ezekiel 20:6 it says that on that day, I swore to them to bring them out
from the land of Egypt into a land that I selected for them. IF YOU
KNOW WHATS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR MOUNTAIN, YOU WILL
MOVE IT.
It is because people dont know what is in Canaan that they are not
fighting for it. They would rather eat the free garlic and onions
because according to them, they ate them freely in Egypt. Ezekiel
20:15 says and also I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not
bring them into the land which I had given them flowing with milk and
honey which is the glory of all lands. Canaan is the glory of all lands!
Life in Jesus is the glory of all lands. The victorious life is it and there is
no other way. There is a philosopher who said that if God was not
existent, it would have been necessary to invent Him. It shows you
that the beauty of life is in God. The victorious life is in Canaan land
because though we are saved, we still have to accost with challenges,
but we have been assured of victory because it is promised and the
bible calls it the Glory of all lands. Isaiah 8:8 calls it Emmanuels
land The land where Emmanuel himself has chooses to be. Daniel
11:41 calls it the glorious land. Some scriptures call it the sanctuary
land of the Lord. I want to contrast these two lands for a minute here,
this is a very critical service and I want you to give me your entire
attention. Deuteronomy 11:10 says for the land in which you are
entering to possess it is not like the land of Egypt. It is not like the
land of Egypt where you come from and where you used to sow your
seed and water it with your foot like a vegetable garden. Its not a
limited place, it is a place where possibilities become opportunities. It
is a wide place where you used to sow your seed and water it like a
vegetable garden. Verse 11: But the land in which you are about to
cross to possess it is a land of hills, valley and it drinks water from the
rain of heaven. Verse 12 a land for which the Lord your God cares for
the eyes of the Lord are always on it.
Saints, thats where I want to dwell, a place where Gods eyes are
always on it. Look at that, it says from the beginning, even to the end
of the year. Gods eyes are always on it. The word always in Hebrew
means always. It says from the beginning to the end of the year, He
cares for it. There is a place you reach and you never get out of His
what is yours. Thats the way Pharaohs son dies. If you thrown sign
number one, he will say tomorrow, sign number two, the frogs, he will
say tomorrow, this and that as you push him to the wall because that
is the only language he understands. Give him the death blow! Reach
is breaking point, you are too comfortable, thats how he got you
imprisoned in the first place. Look at Exodus 1, thats how he got you
there in the first place. I have come to discover that by nature,
Pharaoh is a coward. E.g. in school, we would have boys who would be
the ones at the forefront, shouting the loudest. But when it come time
to do the real things, they dont perform. They were hecklers but not
performers. When the rubber meets the road, he suddenly gets an
excuse and has to suddenly go to the toilet, because he is afraid and
thats Pharaoh.
Satans asset is not strength, why, hasnt he killed you thus far? Why
hasnt he killed you and tried to stop you when you were getting
saved? He can only keep you as long as he needs you.
Lets look at Exodus 1:6
And Joseph died and all his brothers of that generation but the sons of
Israel were fruitful, they increased greatly and multiplied, they become
exceeding mighty so that the land was filled with them. (Now listen to
Pharaoh speak), now a new king rose over Egypt who did not know
Joseph and he said to his people, behold, the people of the sons of
Israel are more and mightier than we. (It doesnt make sense what
follows after that.) Verse 10: Come, lets deal wisely with them lest
they multiply in the event of war they also join themselves to those
who hate us and fight against us and depart from the land. So they
appointed task masters over them to afflict them with hard labour and
they built for Pharaoh storage cities, Pithom and Ramses.
One time while reading this scripture, God spoke to my heart and
asked me How long will you continue building those cities for
Pharaoh? We are building Pharaoh cities. There is a system out there
in the world which encourages security, working for oneself,
encourages me, my and I attitude and as long as you pursue it,
Ramses and Sukoth are the cities you are building for Pharaoh.
If the children of Israel are more and mightier, why should they be the
ones under hard labour? They are more and mightier! So it doesnt
make sense who should rule who. Simple mathematics, we are more
and mightier. Why should you be the one doing tasks and carrying
burdens? But unless you are stupid and you become a victim of
deception because you are more and mightier, you are still the one
carrying heavy burdens because it stays Let us deal wisely, lets
deceive them, let them never know we are dealing with them wisely.
So though you are the sons of the kingdom, you are still carrying tasks,
burdens etc.. and you develop an attitude of Ok, lets do it, lets just
do it and Pharaoh looks and says weve got them right where we want
them. You are more and mightier but you are working for Pharaoh and
building him cities. I want somebody somewhere to get angry out of
that limitation. Listen, it wont take you just saying a simple yes, it will
take you getting into your closet this week, crying tears of bitterness
against the enemy and saying This is the last time I will ever allow the
enemy to handle me like this Am I not a son in the House? Was I not
appointed and anointed? Why then are you dealing with me thus?
A shocking truth, Joseph told his brethren the Lord your God will
surely visit you and when He does, carry my bones out of this land.
How did God visit them? Its there in Exodus 2:23 (This is how God
visits) Now it come about in the cause of those many days that the
King of Egypt died, and the sons of Israel sighed because of the
bondage and they cried out and their cry for help because of their
bondage, rose up to God. So God heard their groanings and
remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and God
saw the sons of Israel and He took notice of them. Many of us, we hear
God is going to visit so we sit quietly and say, let Him come and visit.
We hear the promises like you must spend your life in pleasures and
your years in plenty, Oh Lets just wait for it, it shall come to pass,
health is our potion, lets wait for it, it shall come to pass, financial
deliverance is our potion because God has blessed us and we shall
prosper Oh lets just relax, it shall come to pass. But unless you begin
to sigh and cry aloud and become dissatisfied with your present status,
you shall die. But there are people who arrive at a place where they
say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I have seen these mamas of ours in the
house say I have used Jiko long enough and she looks at her husband
and says this week gas must come into this house. He says but there
is not money, but she says listen no! Listen, gas must come in. He tries
to reason but she maintains that gas must come. There is no husband
who knows how to fight that one. Its not been invented yet. By the
end of the week, gas comes in. Because you are not the one who uses
that jiko everyday, she is the one who uses it and knows how it feels.
So when she says from today! You can be sure, it will manifest.;
There was a time in our lives when we had not house help and my wife
looked at me and said, this week, we must get a washing machine. I
smiled weakly because I know that position, but said Amen it. At the
end of the week, it manifested. So when I hear her whistling in the
bathroom, washing cloths singing and praising God and going about
her activities, I know something only yields when it must so you MUST.
Its up to us to make it move, open it up. It doesnt open by you
keeping quiet, you must sigh, you must cry, you must say I have had it,
this is the end of this, I am not continuing in this mode again!
There are a few things I have set in my spirit, thats why am telling you
watch this space, by the time the year is winding in December, you will
desire to be near to me, I am telling you the truth. Because I have
gone into a non negotiable mode, am pushing. Pharaoh hates war, he
said lest war breaks out, he knows in times of war he cant.
Bullies always hate fights, but they know to talk. A bully can beat you
with
His mouth to the ground e.g. Mwangalie huyu! etc.putting you to
the ground. By the time the urge to fight comes, he is already
finished. That was Goliaths trick. In the entire bible, we dont see one
place where goliath fought, show me? I have read it many times,
show me where Goliath fought. The bible says he was a man of war
from his youth, I have not see it. But all I know is that he was a man
with a big mouth. Big for nothing, big mouth. If there is any man
among you, let him come and fight me! and he walks away. For forty
days twice a day, he comes every day scaring Gods people. Big
mouth, no result, no reaction. And people would hide in caves, not
because their flesh is being hurt, but only words are making them hide.
But there come a man who was hearing another voice. Small in body
but big in heart and said, Who is this uncircumcised Philistine, how
dare he, how? Today, I will cut off his head. Soul looked at him and
said ok, if you are going to die, then die dignified, let me place my
armour on you. Do you know when David was saying he will cut off
Goliaths head he had no sword in his hand but he saw that Goliath had
a sword in his own hand and he knew that his sword would be used to
cut off his own head. You must get to a point where you see your
enemy totally anailated, and what he has been keeping from you must
come down. This church has a lot of harvest out there and WE MUST
BRING IT IN! We wont be satisfied with the little we are seeing, we
thank God for it but there is much more, there is much more. We wont
be satisfied with hand to mouth e.g. at least I made it through the
mouth the budget at least fitted. God didnt call us to be calculus
geniuses with budget. You do budget until you use algebra in budget
(x-y) =? Then you
t
Step back and look at it, and refer back to secondary maths. No! It
was meant to be a life of ease! Ease! Ease! Much more, not to use
algebra. Marriage wasnt meant for you to use your entire English e.g.
if I wanted to approach my wife, I practice with a dictionary, that by
the time am approaching her I have introduction, body and conclusion,
NO! I just carelessly come into her presence and say I love you. She
says, what are you saying that for, what do you want? No! We are too
shoes they used to wear ten years ago. Release and let God replenish
your wardrobe.
Some of us God isnt blessing us because we are too full e.g. God
says, I want to bless you with new furniture but every available space
is occupied. Learn to easen your house. Release and take it out.
Learn how to release things while they are still in good condition not
waiting e.g. for the carpet to be worn out or the shirt collar finished
before you can release them. Easen your life, break out of limitation.
This is a radical season; Pharaoh doesnt give up until you push him to
the wall. This season is radical and the things am hearing in my heart
am, praying there is grace to receive it. Thats the truth. You cant
take a town with three words. You dont win people with four
revelations. You will them when you know exactly who you are.
Luke 19:41
When he approached, he saw the city and wept over it. (when I was
praying recently, God spoke to me and told me thats my position and
so many lives. I look on them and weep because they were meant to
be great lives. Why was he weeping. Verse 42: If you had known in
this day, even you, the things which make for peace, but now have
been hidden from your eyes. For the day shall come upon you when
your enemies shall build a wall before you and surround you and hem
you in on every side. That talks of Egypt because Egypt means to be
hemmed in, to be caged, to be limited. That talks about limitation. A
day shall come when your enemies shall build walls, surround you and
hem you on every side. Verse 44: And they will level you to the
ground. (Before you are destroyed, first you are limited.)
Satan is setting you up for destruction when he limits you. The reason
for limitation is destruction. This that is here the bible calls a siege.
When you build great walls in a city and then when the enemy comes,
he closes the gates and stands at the gate. So you are under a siege.
During a siege, you are cut off from water and food. People would
start eating each other. You find meetings of brethren and think they
are discussing good things and it is who next is going to be eaten. E.g.
Have you seen so and so lately, he is getting very weak, he wont pose
a struggle when we finally get him. They are discussing how to eat
you. The bible says that even a woman boiled her own son in the days
of siege. People would eat the dung of doves and the hinds of donkeys
in those days of a siege. Why, they will level you to the ground and
your children within you and will not leave you in one stone upon
another because you didnt recognize the time of your visitation. You
failed to discern that this is the time of your visitation.
There are people who come to this assignment but have never
received Pst. Alubbe as their man of God and that makes them
revelation thieves. They like the revelation but they dont want to
associate and fully acknowledge and when you dont recognize a
deliverer God sends your way, you wont be able to recognize the time
of deliverance. There are people who just think they are just in
another church, just another assignment and casually deal with things.
Thats why this place isnt packed with Tom, Dick and Harry because
as the bible says, whosever comes in is drawn by the Father, for a
purpose. They are deliverers, they are people God assigns out there
and he releases them with fire in there hearts. They failed to
recognize the time of their visitation. The time of their visitation came
in the form of a person, Jesus Christ. Visitation will many at times
come in the form of a person. There is someone whom God sends to
you with word to you and when you never recognize it, you are
hemmed in and you are up for grabs.
If you trace anywhere where you see destruction and limitation, at one
point or the other, somebody sent was not respected or received. The
bible says, they mocked the prophets so God sent them into Babylon.
They lightly esteemed the words of the Prophet. We know him, isnt
He the son of Mary and Joseph, give a high five, aha! So you are
here.? They never received Him as their messiah; they never
received Him as their solution provider. Yet He was and He had it. He
come to open the prison door.
People always write about things after they have gone and only
recognize things after they have gone. There is noting like gratitude
when the thing has gone and thats when they say honestly, we wish
we knew, we would have kept him close to us. The other day while in
a meeting, a gentleman walked in by the name of Gerald. He
expressed to us how much he had searched like Apollos who knew
until the baptism of John. He was searching for the anchor titled
Raising the standard eager to know which anchor come after that. I
told him it would be difficult for me to know which one come after that.
Instead of going away empty handed, he asked for any thing else he
could get in its place.
I recently inquired from the person in charge of tapes if any member of
this church has ever bought ten tapes and he said none at all. Sadly,
some of us have never even invested in one tape let alone ten. But
Pastor, we come to the services, why should we buy the tapes? Jesus
said they shall come from the east and west and sit around the table
but the sons of the kingdom will not find a place.
Pharaoh doesnt just five up, something happens in the heart of Gods
people that makes Pharaoh say Go! And thats what I want to provoke
in your hearts this afternoon. These cities we are building for Pharaoh
must end today. One disease takes out of your body five thousand or
ten thousand shillings yet you have never worshipped God with even
one thousand shillings. Something must change, the emphacy and
approach must change, we must come to a place where we worship
God with our flocks, herds, wives and children. We must do it coz we
were called there. AMEN.
When it comes to Gods projects, we are so far, but our own personal
projects, we are like Solomon. Do you know how much I have spent
on this degree, or on education? Thats all personal and will benefit
you alone. I am not against education, but put your life in perspective
and you will clearly begin to see where you place your priorities.
Something to think about.
David said, I will not give to God that which cost me nothing. Pharaoh
must give up. Declare aloud I AM NOT UP FOR SALE! Limitation is
always the first step before destruction, why, because you never
recognize the time and time always comes packaged in a man. It
always took a man to announce a season. God will always send a
person in your life, to announce a season. Seasons change when
relationships change. There are people you must stop relating to
because the season is new. When Lot separated, God spoke
immediately to Abraham, the season had changed.
When the angels announced the birth of Jesus, they said peace and
good will to all men. Good will means, to think well of, to approve, to
take pleasure in. God has begun to think good, to think well and
approve and take pleasure in you. In essence, God is saying, these
are my beloved sons, in whom I am well please. But how long should
you serve Pharaoh? What triggered Gods visit to Israel was their cry.
Put this deep in your spirit, nothing changes on planet earth until
something changes in the heart of a man. The change you are
waiting for wont happen until something changes within you.
How many of you know that god has a secret card. Gods secret card
on getting you out of limitation. The following is a quote by John G.
Lake:
I lived in a family for 32 years and there was never a time where
there was no invalid in that home. Before I was 24 years of age, we
had buried four brothers, four sister and four other family members
were dying. They were hopeless, helpless invalids. I set up my own
home, married a beautiful woman and our first born was born. In only
a short time, I saw the same devilish trail of sickness that had followed
my fathers family had also come into my own family. My wife become
an invalid. My son become sickly and out of it all, one thing developed
in my nature, a cry for deliverance. My soul cried to God for
deliverance, I knew nothing about the subject of healing though I was
a Methodist evangelist, but my heart was crying for deliverance. My
soul had come to the place where I had given up depending on man.
My father had spent a fortune on the family but to no avail. As if there
was no stoppage of the train of hell.
There is no human stoppage because the thing is settled too deep in
the nature of man, too deep for any material remedy to get at it. It
takes the Almighty God and the Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus Christ to
get into the depth of mans nature and find the real difficulty that is
there and destroy it. If you are away from God, and your heart is
longing and your soul crying for Gods deliverance, He will be on hand
to deliver you.
I finally got to that place where my supreme hearts cry was for
deliverance. Not my supreme BRAIN cry but my supreme HEART cry
for deliverance. It wasnt just anything but a cry for deliverance.
Tears were shed for deliverance for three years before the healing of
God come to us. I could hear the groans and cries, the wretchedness
and sobs and feel my families desperation. My heart cried, my soul
sobbed, my spirit wept tears, I wanted help. I did not know enough to
call directly on God for it. But one thing matured in my heart A REAL
HUNGER, and the hunger of a mans soul must be satisfied.
It is a law of God which is in the depths of the spirit. God will answer
the heart that cries. God will answer the soul that asks. Jesus Christ
comes to us with divine assurance and invites us when we are hungry
to pray, believe and to take the Lord for that which our soul wants.
When I was a boy, I accompanied my father to the office of John A.
McCall, the great insurance man. We were taken to McCalls office in
his private elevator. It was the first time I had ever been in a great
office building and ridden in an elevator. I held my breath till the thing
stopped, then we stepped in his office, the most beautiful office I had
ever beheld. The rugs were so thick, I was afraid I would go through
the floor. His desk was a marvel, pure mahogany and on top of his
desk, inlaid in mother of pearls was his name written in script. It was
so magnificient that in my boyish soul, I said, I am going to have an
office just like this and a des just like that with my name written on it
when I am a man. I did not know it until I was in my 30th year just how
strong that call was, it almost seemed to be forgotten. I was invited to
Chicago to join an association of men who were establishing a
asked him how much that bible was and he said to me three hundred
and fifty shillings. I told him, that I didnt have that kind of money and
begun negotiating with him how low he was willing to go. After much
negotiating, he said the least he would be willing to sell it for was two
hundred and fifty shillings. But the desire within me was so strong. I
wanted to read what Cerullo reads and in the way that he reads it. I
picked up the bible; looked at it longingly walked off but deep within
me I just couldnt leave so I come back. I told the man that I really
needed that bible. I really really needed it. Finally, he asked me how
much I had and I told him only 15 shillings. He looked at me and said
bring it and when he took it, he said GO! And dont look back. You can
be sure I was obedient lest he changes his mind. I walked home that
day but I was so happy. There was something in my heart. AMEN.
And it was growing powerfully.
I was talking to Pastor Benson the other day about a man of God called
Tunde Bakari who is I believe one of the strongest voices God has used
in my life as a mentor and model. Tunde Bakari begun his law practice
around 1984 but in 1989, God called him into full time ministry and
when God called him, he gave away all the money he had. The
millions he had, he released into the ministry. He says that in 1989, he
couldnt afford busfare between Lagos and Enugu. In 1992, as I was
passing through the streets of Nairobi and saw a Morris Cerullo world
evangelism poster. I looked at it casually and moved on, but I found
that I couldnt move, my feet couldnt go and I had in my spirit God
saying, go back and look at that poster well. So I went back and saw
the poster but my attention was drawn by Tunde Bakari. As I took a
keen look at it, God spoke in my spirit and said, make sure you attend
every session this man will speak in and make sure you buy his audio
material. By the time I was getting to KICC the venue of the meetings,
it was too full. People had come in the morning for an evening
meeting. I had to engage heavenly wisdom on how to get some budge
and enter into the support team. I eventually was admitted into the
sanitarium. When I went on the balcony and discovered that I was
placed right in clear view of Tunde Bakari. I watched and listened as
he was speaking powerfully and heard him say through his testimonies
that God had just blessed him with a new jet, he also had just finished
building a house and said the latest series of Mercedes benz was in his
compound.
Now I am mature enough and not so carried away when I hear
somebody has a jet because I am convinced that one day the Lord will
give us one. Soon and very soon not in the millennium but in this life.
I am not a Hindu; I have only one life to live. I wont come back in
reincarnation so I am believing to do what I need to do now. And I
wondered, a man who couldnt afford busfare, barely two years ago
now has resource thats making the word of God go round the world.
So I endeavored to follow him closely. I later on got to meet him in
1998-99 and now I am relating to one of the people who are very close
to him and he tells me the wealth anointing on Tundes life has
increased in dimension that he cannot even say or quantify.
I grew up under a ministry of a man called Steve Munga and I
remember one time, this man of God took a hammer and nails and got
into his room and nailed himself inside the room and said, They will
either get me out of this room as a corpse or I will be anointed! You
remember when you watch Ripleys believe it or not and how they
warn the audience not to try any of the stuff they are watching at
home, well, this is one of them, dont try it at home. You have to fully
understand all the risks involved before attempting anything
extraordinary.
Steve Munga said, I will either come out of here a corpse or come out
anointed. The good news is that he come out anointed. There is a call
in the human heart that gets desperate for what it needs and
eventually it must get what it wants!!! AMEN.
God does not just respond to anybody. He is a respecter of faith but
the faith that must have it. Thats why am telling you WATCH THIS
SPACE because am developing such hunger in my life. There are
things that used to be so big but are now becoming smaller and there
are things in me that are increasing day by day.
How could a man called Caleb be in a wilderness thats full of snakes
and scorpions etc, go through a wilderness with the rest of the people,
see them die one by one, some I believe his brothers, peers and
contemporaries yet he managed to come out uncorrupted, untouched,
undefiled and eventually enter into his blessing HOW!
How could somebody like Jesus Christ come into this life as the
Messiah, because He said I must be about my Fathers business. So
its clear He knew who he was. I like His polite rebuke to Mary because
Mary come and said Your father and I have been searching for you.
But Jesus said, I must be about my Fathers business. That was a polite
rebuke, he was telling Mary, I respect you and will come back and
submit but Joseph is not my Father, I have a heavenly Father. He went
through life, come to the cross, went through the cross and eventually
got to a place where he opened up salvation to us HOW!
I want to share with you now what I believe is Gods secret packaged in
his word for you to come out of limitation. If you can bear witness with
me today, there is no limitation that will remain in your life. If you
badly want it, you will get it. If you desperately want it, you will get it.
There is no way you can read the bible and you remain passive. If you
take its message seriously: about a woman whom the bible says for
twelve years she had suffered many things from many physicians. The
bible doesnt begin to get into details but it leaves you to that
imagination of saying she had suffered many things of many
physicians. Then it says she had spent all that she had which most
probably suggests she was a well to do person. So she had spent all
she had and hand suffered many things at the hands of many
physicians. But one day when she had that Jesus is around; she said in
her heart that if only I can touch the hem of his garment, I shall be
made whole. Her condition did not allow her to appear in public,
according to the laws that Moses set, but she went beyond her
condition, she went beyond her fear of being stoned because that was
the penalty. She come into public and by the time she was getting to
where Jesus was, she was down and she touched the hem of His
garment and Jesus said, I have sensed power go out of me and Peter
said Master, the crowd is big, how can you say who touched me? But
Jesus knew there is a specific touch that draws power from Him. It is
not the accidental touch, neither the touch of curiosity but that of a
deliberate, desperate soul that must get an answer.
Yester, I was watching Enoch Adeboye on telly and he was giving an
illustration of how one time he had finished preaching and was so tired
that he got into his house and told his people to make sure nobody got
in because he wanted to rest. Then one woman come and said, I want
to see the Holy man. She was told, he is not seeing anybody, she said,
I am not in a hurry, I just want to know, is he inside and they said yes
he is inside but he is not seeing anybody, she laughed and said no
problem, he will see me. She was told, no, he is not seeing anybody
but she said, no no, am not in a hurry. She was told maybe he will
take a day before he comes out again, but she said, I have all the time,
I will sit here at the door there is no problem. They said, at times he
might even take two days inside there but she said, no problem, even
if it is seven days, he must come out eventually, so he will find me at
the door here. AMEN! The man of God was talking about how there
are people who knock like the friend who knocked at his door at
midnight because he heard there is bread but the man was asleep so
lets see just how long he can sleep as I keep knocking. The problem
isnt availability of bread; the problem is that the man is asleep so if I
continue knocking, bread must come. So he continued knocking. So
she sat at the door until the wife of the man of God come and told the
man of God are you sure you want to rest and he said yes. She said if
you want to rest, you must add this womans burden to your rest
because she is not going away. And she got the answer to her prayer.
The man of God was talking about how there is a level you go beyond
knocking and Mathew 11:12 says from the days of John the Baptist, the
kingdom of God suffereth violence and the violent take it by force.
There is a place you get where you kick the door and now there is not
door, can you imagine where there is no door, there is free access. But
many of us are not desperate enough to take it. I believe today by the
help of Gods Spirit I can show you what the secret of God is.
Lets look at Genesis 11:1 The bible says and the whole earth with one
language and one speech and it come to pass as they journeyed from
the East, that they found a plain in the land of Sheena and they dwelt
there and they said one to another, come lets make brick and burn for
stone and slim for mortar and they said, come, let us build a city and a
tower whose top may reach unto heaven and let us make us a name,
lets we be scattered abroad upon the face of the earth. And the Lord
come down to see the city and the tower which the children of men
builded. And the Lord said, (pay close attention to Gods commentary
because herein lies the secret of Messiah of how to break out of
limitation) behold, the people are one they all have one language and
this they begin to do. (Say aloud faith without works is dead) nothing
will be withheld from them which they have imagined to do. Come, let
us go down and there we confound their language that they may not
understand one another speech.
Ask yourself, did God scatter them, did He come in their midst and say
HEY!, scatter, scatter, scatter, everybody, you go left and you go
right, move, move move? Is that what happened? All God did was
to touch the language and speech so that they dont understand one
another. Where there was no understanding the scenario was e.g. two
people trying to communicate and one says Hey you, give me that
hammer but he is give a knife instead. Another may say to his friend
Go down, but instead he goes up. Bring me this, But instead he
kicks him. Because they could no longer understand each other and
they scattered by themselves. Verse 9: Therefore, is the name of it
called Babel because the Lord did there confound the language and
scatter them abroad of all the earth. The scattering was subject to
understanding and language. The people we one, and they had one
language, one purpose. This they imagine to do and nothing was
withheld from them.
What sustained Caleb in the midst of all that was mentioned earlier.
Caleb come to Joshua and said to Joshua We were with you when
Moses sent us to spy the land and you heard what God said before the
people. Now when am eighty years old I am stronger than I was 45
years ago. Give me now my mountain. Which mountain did he
mean? He meant Hebron.
We can clearly see the thing that sustained Caleb through the
wilderness was the picture of that mountain. The picture of the
mountain was stronger than his brother dying and his friend being
bitten by serpents. At any give point, the recommendation of God
must weigh more because you must eventually get to your mountain.
Give me my mountain, as God spoke to Moses, I want my Hebron.
Great men are controlled by pictures. Great people to break out of any
limitation must have a picture. They are governed by pictures because
God is a very pictorial God.
The only way God made sure Joseph stayed faithful to custody, was to
give him a picture. So he gives him a dream and in this dream, he is
high and exalted. It is a dream of harvest and product. Not a dream of
sowing, but one harvest and product. End picture, end result and the
sheaves are bowing down to him. The sun, moon and starts bowing
down to him. God is a very pictorial God. The bible is a very pictorial
book.
Abraham has a picture of childlessness in his life. So he comes and
God tells him, I am your shield, and your exceeding great reward, but
he says, how can you say that and I am childless. And God says I know
what your problem is, you have the wrong picture. So he brings him
out of the house and tells him to look at the stars and see if he can
number them. God tells him your seed shall be like the stars. Gen 15
says that Abraham believed God. God put a new definition of believe
in my heart. To believe means the picture has registered on the
inside.
It is like a woman having conceived the seed; doctors say that the first
three months could be a little turbulent. There is change of body
metabolism, vomiting, discomfort etc. But you cant see anything
because the stomach is still flat. To believe means you have
conceived. The picture has been taken in. The secret God begins to
show us in Genesis 11 is that when everything lines up to one goal
there is not way you will fail to get manifestation. The people are one.
In fact that word language means one way of thinking. They have one
speech which means, they dont just think the same but have the same
expression. AMEN. Let me illustrate with an example, my wife is
kikuyu and I am luhya, we may not share the same language in terms
of dialect but the fact that we have been able to be together for nine
years of marriage shows you we have the same speech. So it is not a
matter of Kenya being divided left right and center on tribal basis, its
a matter of us rallying around one goal. And whatever they have
imagined (imagined comes from the word image) so there was an
image that was controlling these people towards which they rallied
around.
rich young ruler would be the one to fill it. He had great substance. Or
as I would put it, great substance had him.
When David was approaching the giant, he said, today I will give your
flesh to the birds. He was very descriptive like a movie. Lets study
the following words: IMAGE and IMAGINE.
Image talks about pictures while imagination talks about a movie like
picture. We have to graduate from still pictures and begin to make
movies. You sit down and they have to shake you up because you are
the director and producer. You are in the word, developing godly a
movie of your destiny and you are so consumed that even when your
eyes are closed, there is a big smile on your face. You become the
producer and director. AMEN!
An image is an inner picture and an imagination is an inner motion
picture. So when David tells Goliath that he will give his flesh to the
birds, he is speaking from pictures he had on the inside of him. Let
your life get into motion. It is Zig Ziegler who said, he has come to the
discovery that imagination is the largest Nation in the world. Because
God himself in His wisdom said, the thing they have imagined to do,
nothing shall be withheld.
David saying of Goliath, I will take your flesh, give it to the birds and I
will cut off your head. This was Davids motion picture going on and
on. Describing what is going to come to pass. Bless God. When the
pattern is right, the glory falls.
The dictionary defines imagination as creativity, enterprise, ingenuity,
insight, inspiration and resourcefulness. In the Greek, the word image
means a tool for engraving. It also means to cut or to engrave a
stamp, a seal or impress as on a coin. All the features of the image
correspond respectively with those of the instrument producing it
which means if you have the image on the inside, and it begins to cut
and engrave something in the Spirit, you will produce exactly the same
in the physical, natural and tangible world.
Jacob proves us right. As animals would come to take water and he
would put before them rods of exactly how he wanted the animals to
be, and the bible says each of them produced exactly what it saw. We
are changed from glory to glory as we behold him even in the same
image. If you consider and take this message, you wont have
impossibilities.
Why then dont people have results? Because they begin with the
image, then suddenly shift their attention and begin to restructure
their image of that specific thing they had in mind. For example, a
man may have specifications of how he would love his dream wife to
look like and his detailed picture would be a tall, brown person, then he
immediately sees someone else and says, well tall may not be that
nice perhaps shorter etc.. That is having a double mind and the bible
says a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. The equipment
is inherent, intact used for drawing buy you are not given to one
drawing per time and between the time of drawing and manifestation,
there has to be patience. But most of us are not given to patience so
you are ever erasing your dream. Another example is that you begun
by buying an L.G. fridge, you then think Sanyo is better, and went
beyond Sanyo and bought Philips can do you just fine then you leave
Philips alone and decided anything could do. God never answers just
anything; He only answers specific requests and desires.
Genesis 11 recounts how they were building a tower and not towers
(plural). And everyone had the image of a city and a tower why,
because the language was one, the speech was one and so the
equipment of drawing was one and everything was finished. It took
Henry Ford eighteen years to put together the first engine. During
those eighteen years, he was a mechanic. Ray Crock, who became the
franchiser of McDonalds, broke through at the age of 56. Messiah at
the Age of 30 yet at age 12 He knew who He was but his image was
being worked on.
The equipment has always been in you, it is resident, inherent, inbuilt.
You were packaged with it before you ever come. Psalms 45:1 says
my heart is overflowing or indicting with a good matter. I speak of the
things which I have made touching the king; my tongue is the pen of a
ready writer. The word writer is scribe meaning to write and every
scribe had a scriber, which is a sharp, pointed tool for making marks,
outlines for materials to be cut. My tongue is the scriber. Form the
word scribe, we get the word describe. The moment you begin to
describe what you may be believing God for, the scriber is already
working towards getting that which you are believing for. As you
scribe, the shape eventually takes place and manifests because you
have DE-SCRIBED it. (The thing that I feared the most is come upon
me) This happened because he described it.
In your own time, look up the words, inscribe, prescribe and subscribe.
Psalms 45:1
My heart is boiling with a good matter (and when it boils on the inside,
I speak). It is only the things that have boiled and bubbled when they
are spoken that come to pass. So dont play games with God and
mumble making vain repetitions like I believe I receive, I believe I
receive 100 times, it doesnt come by magic, this is not witchcraft. You
are co-workers and co-creators with God, he has put within you spirit
whereby if you get it, it will produce for you.
Ask yourself: What is boiling you my heart. Remember, you cant hide
it for long. It will soon manifest. Whatever is bubbling inside will soon
be evident.
I believe that when Jesus died on the cross, very limitation come down.
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law for it is written,
cured is every man who hangs on a tree. But he has redeemed us
from the curse of the law so that the blessing of Abraham can come on
the gentiles. I believe every limitation was dealt with because the
curse of the law was sin, sickness, death and poverty. And when He
died on the cross, he didnt say I am finished, he said IT IS FINISHED.
He ever liveth, He arose from the dead, He ascended with the sacrifice
and He sat down at the right hand of the Father and He ever liveth to
make intercession for us. Every limitation, every experience that
would be negative and come against His children was lifted away. The
bible says the curse was lifted and today, we can walk free. But why
are we not free? Its because we dont know what Jesus did and when
we know, we are not convinced and when we are convinced, we dont
act on it. We dont walk out on the water even when we hear the
Master bid us come. The bible says, when you hear His voice, harden
not your heart. AMEN!! Say aloud: God will be speaking to me today.
How many of you would be attentive if it was Jesus himself speaking to
you. Would you be attentive, He will be speaking to you through His
word. When I was seeking God, He told me give them your secrets,
the things that work for you, and bring you over. We all need to
subscribe to Gods word. We need to write out a subscription to Gods
word, and then we need to prescribe the word of God to our situations.
The word you subscribe should then be inscribed (Proverbs 3:3 says
inscribe it on the table of your heart).
The tongue is the inscriber. So use your tongue. The bible says, they
limited the Holy one of Israel. The word limited there means to
scratch, mark out to set a match to scribble) and the tongue is the
scriber. To limit the Holy one of Israel simply means that they spoke
negatively concerning His promises. When they spoke, they cut a line
and said beyond this, we can never go. They couldnt go because their
tongue couldnt allow them to go and they died in the wilderness.
After the word has been inscribed, then go ahead and describe and
situations will change on your life.
Exodus 23:20 says
Behold I send an angel before you to keep you in the way and bring
you into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him and obey his
voice, do not provoke Him for he will not pardon your transgression for
my name is in Him. But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I
speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemy and an adversary to
your adversaries. For my angel shall go before you and will bring you
into the Amorites, Hittites, perisites, Canaanites, hivites, and Jebusites.
And I will cut them off, you shall not bow down to their gods, not serve
them, nor do according to their works, but you shall utterly overthrow
them and completely break down their sacred pillars. So you shall
serve the Lord your God and He will bless your bread and your water.
And I will take sickness away from your midst; no one shall suffer
miscarriage or be barren in your land. that means business, marriage
and anything called conception delivery. I will fulfill the number of
your days. I will send my fear before you, I will cause confusion among
all people to whom you come and will make all your enemies turn their
backs to you. And I will send hornets before you. They shall drive out
the hivites, the Canaanite and the Hittites from before you. I will not
drive them out from before you in one year lest the land become
desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.
Little by little I will drive them out from before you until you have
increased and you inherit the land. I will set your bounds from the red
sea to the sea Philistia from the desert to the river, for I will deliver the
inhabitants of the land into your hands and I shall drive them out from
before you.
These principals are principals of possession. The potion of scripture is
full of truth that can set you free today and bring you into the fullness
of what you are seeking from God.
The bible says, I will send my angel before you, be aware of him. Say
aloud: Many people arent aware of Gods angels. In fact, in many
places, the thought of angels scares people. If an angels would
manifest here, you would see how many believers we have.
The first principal I want us to talk about is the principal of angelic
assistance. When I was in the U.K, God spoke to my spirit and said, I
will increase angelic activity in the days to come, and their shall be
angelic assistance in your life like never before. For people to come
seeking you in the evening, with cheques of twelve thousand shillings
is under the influence of the Holy Spirit and the angels of God. It is not
a Kenyan, because Kenyans dont behave like that.
The bible says that Are they not all ministering spirits sent to minister
not to but FOR you. When we got married, God commanded me to
minister TO my wife. He told me that my body is not my own, it
belongs to my wife and her body is not her own and that it belongs to
me. So she ministers TO me and I minister TO her. But if I had a
secretary, she doesnt minister TO me unless there is something
wrong, instead, she ministers FOR me. She waits on me to minister
FOR me. Are they not all ministering spirits sent to minister FOR us.
The Holy Spirit has been sent to minister TO us. But angels have been
sent to minister FOR us Hebrews 1:4. The proof of the pudding is in
the eating. As soon as God gave me this word, while in London, a
situation concerning a friend of mine called Isaac arose. On a
particular day, Isaac together with his wife Jacinta took me around to
do some shopping for me. Towards the evening, they met with one of
the people who was meant to be flying to Kenya. They gave him three
hundred pounds meant for their daughter who was in Kenya so that
she would be able to join them in the U.K. Three hundred pounds is
forty five thousand Kenyan shillings. Isaac released it to this
gentleman who was in turn supposed to hand it to his brother on
arrival in Kenya which he did. Isaacs brother boarded a matatu in
Nairobi on his way to give the money to Isaacs daughter for travel
when the matatu they were traveling in got an accident on its way to
town. Two people died and Isaacs brother injured his back and was
now immobilized. While still at the accident scene, a thief come and
stole the money off of his pocket and went away with it.
The following day, Isaac and I met and I noticed he had such heaviness
on him and so I inquired what was wrong. He proceeded to narrate the
whole story for me of how his brother was involved in an accident and
all the money meant for his daughter was stolen. I then told him
Isaac, you could not have blessed me like this the whole day then the
enemy steals from you like this. If I be a man of God, I believe this is
something meant for Gods glory. So I began praying declaring
Angles of God, go forth, am giving you command in the spirit and
demanding that within the next 24 hrs, positive reports will come back
and this money will be recovered and this man wont stay in hospital.
So Isaac tells me how discouraged he is and that he would like to retire
and sleep. The following day at 9am, he calls me from work as I am
still in the house and says Pastor, you will not believe this. The man
who stole the money looked for where the accident victims were taken
and he returned all the money. I told him, I wasnt surprised, my
angels work fast, and they are effective because I am aware of them.
The bible says, dont be confused and thus begin to worship angels.
But they are ministering spirits sent to assist you to minister for you,
on your behalf.
Another incident took place on my flight back to Kenya. I happened to
call a friend of mine called Frank and suggest to him that we should
and something happens in Hong Kong or speak a word from the U.K
and something happens in Kenya. I tell you the truth, it is simple,
because you must become like a child to operate in the realm of the
spirit.
Our Father in the Lord used to tell us that when you want to get
married, it is a wife you want not money. Whichever way the Lord
brings her. But some of us when we want to get married, we think
money, money, money and though it is not wrong for you to think that
way, there is always a more excellent way. The bible says God
melts the hearts of Kings and anything can happen on your behalf. If
e.g. you are believing God for a car, anything can happen, but you
must be aware of how to operate in the supernatural realm. Say
aloud: I will put my angels to work. You may ask yourself, how then do
I put my angels to work?
One way is through your voice because angels harken to the voice of
Gods word. Stand in your bedroom and say Lord, I thank you that all
things have been provided for under the new covenant, Jesus died for
my redemption, he died to lift the cup of poverty from my life, I am
prospered. Lord I have been believing you for a refrigerator, I count it
done and that it has come my way, angels of God, I now release you on
the basis and foundation of that word, go and cause that fridge to
come in whichever way. Then just relax. Anytime you think of the
fridge, all you need to do is say, I count it done in Jesus name, I count it
done. Even for those who earn a salary, you are not exempt, one of
these days, try it. Say, I wont use my salary to buy this one, I will use
the supernatural way and see how it responds. Those are called
spiritual exercises.
Exodus 29: I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest
the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too
numerous for you. Little by little I will drive them out from before you
until you have increased. The only thing that will prevent God giving it
to you is your size, your increase. The whole land is yours! But why
dont you have the whole land? Because of size. It is yours but He
will give it to you little by little. How do you eat an elephant? Piece
by piece so the whole thing is yours. But why dont you have it Gal 4
says: the heir as long as he remains a child defers nothing from a
servant though he be Lord of all. This is the law of capacity. The only
thing thats keeping you from your blessing is your capacity. Whey you
increase, you will enter into it. For example when a baby girl is born,
she is born with a womb, but is that womb ready for use then, no,
because there is a set time to use it. That baby girl must increase
from a baby to a girl to a young lady and finally a woman.
John 16:12 Jesus said, I still have many things to say to you but you
cannot bear them now. The problem is not with Jesus. He wants to
give you time to grow until the time will come for you to be able to
bear them. Say aloud: CAPACITY.
There are people whom if God increased their blessing in any way, he
would loose them and that blessing because they dont have the
capacity to take it in. There are also some people, if they had three
million in their bank account today, they wouldnt come to church any
more but would rather be at home in front of the telly with a remote
control; remote controlling their lives away because they think life is
just about money. When you get five million, you need your pastor
more closely.
You need the wisdom of heaven more closely; you need councilor,
direction and life. Your pastor isnt interested in 5 million. Can you
imagine how much the Lord would want to tell you now, but you
cannot bear it at this point. The word bear is the word basis meaning
the foundation of a thing. So after that, Jesus went ahead and begun
to talk about the Holy Ghost. He is the one who forms foundations in
our lives. Its not just tongues. The work of the Holy Spirit in our lives
is to form a foundation, and a basis whereby we can be enlarged
enough to begin to receive every kingdom truth that God has for us.
Say aloud: The law of capacity.
Isaiah 54 says enlarge the place of your dwelling. Stretch, lengthen,
strengthen enlarge, why? Because when you increase, a bit more is
given. So essentially, you are limited because you are not increasing.
The increase should be on the inside. Your mind should increase, your
spirit should increase. Your heart should enlarge. The increase is on
the inside, because the Kingdom is within you.
One day, while walking with a friend, I told him I was going to grand
regency hotel and he asked me, You are going where? I said Grand
Regency and he declined to come saying that people like him dont go
to such places. Essentially, he couldnt see himself in Grand Regency.
You must increase on the inside. That capacity will lead you into the
fullness of your possession.
Law number three I call the law of progress. The bible says little by
little. The whole thing is yours but God is giving it to you piece by
piece. Why? So that you wont abuse it and eventually loose it. When
Adam come on the face of the earth, he come complete, he wasnt
born but just come complete. He didnt grow, he come complete and
because he come complete, there are some things that hadnt
developed within him. He was innocent but not pure or perfect. Purity
and perfection comes out of a choice. When you are tempted over
time and keep making the right choice, you grow into purity. But when
Adam was accosted, he failed God and from that time on, God never
releases any grown up on the face of the earth, but puts them as a
small seed in someones womb and causes them to grow. This is so
important that even Jesus the messiah had to be born. Jesus was the
maker of heaven and earth. In the beginning was the word and the
word was with God, by Him were all things made and without Him, was
nothing made that was made. He was the word yet the word had to be
conceived. And the word grew in wisdom and stature and with favour
with both God and man. Say aloud: The law of progress. When you
get the little, you grow into knowing how to manage, harness and
handle it. But if you give me the whole piece yet I have never
managed one piece, then I will loose the whole piece. Thats why, its
wrong for people to come through the door and you crown them and
say, he is now a pastor. It is also wrong for you to pick a fourteen year
old gal and say she is now my wife. No she isnt she is a baby because
the bible says he that findeth a wife not a baby findeth a good thing.
So by the time you find her, her thinking processes are those of a wife,
and you who begun to seek after also develop the thinking processes
of a husband and not a boyfriend and you can now both settle down
and devour the elephant piece by piece.
Jesus said if you are faithful in little, he will make you ruler over much.
If you are faithful in five talents, he will make you ruler over ten cities.
If you are faithful in little, God increases you to the next level. It is the
law of progress. Mark 4:26 says when you sow a seed in the ground,
first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. Say aloud:
That is vertical progress. You must have vertical progress. The same
way, when you are born, you began growing taller and taller and there
was increase. Anything that is growing has vertical progress. But it
doesnt all come at once, first the blade, then the ear, then the full
corn in the ear. Thats the law of progress. Beyond vertical progress,
there is also Horizontal progress. Isaiah 28:13 says and the doctrine
shall come line upon line, precept upon precept. Foundations are laid
then you place a line on another line, and virtually progress begins to
take shape.
Anything that is not progressing and growing doesnt have the touch
of God in it. There is also something called concentric progress, where
the bible says first in Jerusalem then in Judea then to the utter most
parts of the earth. This means that if its not working in your life, then
it cant work between you and your wife. But if it works in your life, it
will work wife and soon in your entire family. We cannot redeem
Kenya if our own families are in trouble. If you are making M.O.Us
(memorandum of understandings) in your family that you are not
invested time n a job that gave you money and you bought a car. So
anything you dont have is because you are unwilling to invest time to
get it. Use time, displace darkness, ignorance, sickness and poverty
and you will get whats rightfully yours under the covenant. Why? The
land is ours by promise to Abraham our father. But there is an enemy
in the land so take the edge of the sword (the word) and accost the
word against your traditions, limitations and those other
discouragements. The first time you try accosting with the word you
will get two or three forms of counterattacks and still entertain poverty
in your life, but after sometime, you get skilled. Let the Holy Ghost
train you, show you how to hold the sword and how to position yourself
effectively for war. Let Him teach you the principals of winning the war
and you will displace the enemy.
Joshua took the land by the Edge of the sword. Moses was a shepherd
and Moses was a Soldier. To enter your possession, you need to be
militant. Say aloud: I must be militant and stop being nice. The
ministry of a Pastor is the ministry of grace and favour because you
walk to the Egyptian and he delivers what he has but the ministry of
Joshua isnt that one of walking to your enemy and saying own up NO!
It is the ministry of militancy. Demanding whats yours by right and
being ruthless in that situation because they said they killed even the
women and children. The land is yours by promise given to Abraham.
2nd Kings 4:1
A certain woman of the sons of the prophet cried to Elisha saying, your
servant my husband is dead and you know that your servant feared
the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons away.
This was a man of God who feared the prophets but it did not prevent
the creditors from coming to his house because the fear of God will not
take poverty away from you. So Elisha said to her; what shall I do for
you, tell me what do you have in your house she said, your maid
servant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil. Then he said, go,
borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbours empty
vessels. (You dont borrow full vessels but empty ones) when you are
come in, shut the door behind you and your sons then pour it all into
those vessels, se aside the full ones. So she went from him, did as she
was told. And it come to pass when the vessels were full, she said to
her son, bring me another vessel but he said to her, there is not
another vessel so the oil seized. This is called the law of expectation.
As long as there is another vessel to pour the oil in, Faith is triggered.
It is the expectation that the oil will flow into this vessel that continues
to trigger faith and the oil continues to flow. It is not God who was in
charge of the oil flowing, He didnt prevent the oil from flowing; it is the
lack of a vessel that caused faith to stop, that caused the oil to stop
Let us closely examine why the laws I speak of sometimes fail to work
in the lives of some people. The bible says, before us is the Garden of
Eden and behind us is desolation. Our future is bright; we are going
back to the beginning, back to how it was. To the time when man was
not limited, when the mind of God was free on the face of the earth.
Please not that there are only two Adams, there is no second Adam
and you are either finding expression in the first (the man of the flesh)
or the last Adam (the life giving Spirit).
The story of Israel coming out of captivity, getting out of Egypt, going
through the wilderness and entering into their promised land, is the
story of breaking limitation. I have shared before line upon line on how
the four laws are going to help you to breakthrough. Not penetration,
but about breaking through; about the kind of place God brings you
and it is evident that the hand of the Lord has visited you. Not about
Jesus raising the widow but about Jesus raising Lazarus. The kind of
miracle where you cannot doubt beyond a shadow of doubt that
something supernatural has taken place.
Remember that the only thing that is standing between you and your
breakthrough is your capacity. In John 16:12 Jesus said I have yet
many things to tell you but you cannot bear them now. The reason he
says now is because there is something you can do about your
situation and finally get to a place where you are able to bear the
matter He would want to release to you.
When we talk about capacity, we essentially are talking about the
heart. The secret behind capacity is thirsting and hungering. It is the
power of desire. The greatest tool of capacity is FAITH. That is what
keeps pushing you forward, and makes you open spaces and pioneer
into new realms etc. There must be a deep sitted desire if our capacity
is going to increase thats whey the bible says Sing oh barren and we
all know that the dream of the barren woman is that one day, maybe
the Lord will visit me, one day maybe I will also have the pleasure of
carrying a child in my womb. That one day, maybe I will also deliver,
one day, shame will be lifted from my life, one day, my co-wife will
stop deriding me (as in the story of Hannah and Peninah and also
Elizabeth). Most of the champions of scripture come from women who
were barren. One thing that I believe is so strong in the heart of a
barren woman is that the contact cry and desire to eventually arrive at
the place where she bears children is finally realized. The secret of
capacity is to continually wash yourself with desire. To continually
dream and this is one thing people seize to do when they are in
trouble. They stop dreaming, and they more or less fall back into
memories and begin to form pictures of disaster and failure. But one
thing that will take you out of a disaster and out of any situation is your
ability to dream, focus and constantly desire a better place.
The bible says but now wherein God is not ashamed, it also says that if
they were mindful of the country in which they come from, they would
have had an opportunity to return. Speaking about Abraham, the bible
says he sojourned in the land of promise for he looked for a city that
had foundations whose builder and maker was God. Thats the power
of desire. When God called him, he obeyed, thats the power of
hunger. According to Acts 7, the sermon of Stephen, he says the Lord
of glory appeared unto Abraham. In that Polytheistic society, where
they used to worship many Gods, there come Jehovah, and the desire
of Jehovah consumed him. And it was so strong on the inside of him
that he offered his son as a sacrifice regardless of the consequences
that come by a man not having a child. No name in society, no
genealogy, no history carried on because he didnt have a predecessor
or a successor to follow in his footsteps.
God said that He would not drive them out until they increased. So it is
eminent and apparent that we must increase if God is to drive them
out. The key behind your increase and your drive is your desire. That
constant desire that burns within you.
If for example you want to increase financially or materially or at the
level of the physical, maybe you are limited in a certain sense; you
must begin to desire something better. You must begin to desire an
increase in your income. Remember in the law of progress, how we
have linear progress where the bible says first the blade then the ear
then the full corn in the ear, which is called vertical growth. Then
there is Horizontal growth, thats line upon line and precept upon
precept. Then there is concentric growth where we have first in
Jerusalem, then Judea and then the outer most parts of the earth. You
must realize that you must begin to desire something better and
better.
This assignment begun all the way out of town in the reform churches
of East Africa, totally unknown, but a time come and God commanded
us to come into town. When we come into town, we were meeting in a
place called auto caf, somewhere underground and most of the time
while I was preaching there would be some rats running up on the
lintels behind me but we kept desiring a better place. When we come
here in April of 2000, we begun by clearing up this room because it
was previously being used as a sort of storage area. When we
finished, we moved in using borrowed chairs from a lady by the name
of mama jimmy who attached very strict instructions and penalties
including threats to the chairs she lent us. But we kept desiring a
better more useful, more advantageous and more reliable place.
The Law of Progress says little by little, first the blade, then the ear,
then the full corn in the ear. But there has to be deadly focus, the kind
that will at times appear to be unreasonable. Then if focus is the
secret of progress, then in essence, some of the things that hinder
progress are things like comparison 2nd Corinthians 10:12 says, we are
not wise if we compare ourselves among ourselves. I once heard Creflo
dollar say, anytime you compare, you be-little. So even when there
has been progress but you compare yourself with your neighbour, and
look at what God has done in their lives, you begin to be little the much
God has done in your life. You even begin to detest it and look down
upon it and say what is this among so many. You then begin to
murmur and complain. These are enemies and things that come and
they limit us.
Why was there murmuring in the wilderness, because they kept
comparing it with Egypt. Egypt had a level of comfort, yet it was the
land of bondage. The level of comfort was in the free food. Though
there were free things there, they were still slaves. God delivered
them out, took them through the wilderness because its one thing for
Him to take you out of Egypt and another thing for Him to get Egypt
out of you. So of necessity, it forces Him to take you through the
wilderness so that He can take Egypt out of you.
We had a professor who used to tell us it is one thing to get you out of
the village into campus and yet another one to get the village out of
you. One is a physical thing while the other a mental or spiritual or
intangible thing; a change of thinking, approach and methodology.
How you approach issues. Change of perception.
Coming out of Egypt is physical, you have come out in body but if its
going to be complete, there must be spirit and soul. We must have a
change of mind. Thats why Romans 12 begins by saying; we dedicate
our bodies as living sacrifices. Verse 2 talks about our minds being
transformed.
If the body is not being affected, the mind will not change. These are
enemies of breakthrough. They are things that limit us, they are
things that constantly make sure you remain in the same spot, and you
dont move forward because you are ever comparing yourself and
asking Lord why are we in the wilderness, why did you take us out of
Egypt, did you brought us here to die? These are not the questions
you should ask Him. What you should ask the Lord is What is the
reason for bringing us here? or What is the lesson of the day?
Because with God, there is always a lesson and every moment is a
moment to pass truth. T. D. Jakes says you can learn a lot from an
advert because God can use a lot to teach you. 2nd Corinthians 10:12
says we are not wise if we compare ourselves.
In the story of Martha and Mary, Martha says Lord, dont you care that
my sister is not helping? One of the reasons why we continually stay
in limitation is because at times we dont begin to discern the gracing
that is on different lives. Marthas gracing may not have been Marys
gracing but because she compares herself with the other, she thinks
she should be where the other should be. Secondly, we remain in
limitations sometimes because we use age to gauge things. For
example, Eliab had a problem with David, not realizing that David had
a different grace on his life. When we dont know how to discern other
graces, it begins to put a spanner on the work and the law of progress
doesnt work.
Look at the words Progress and aggress. These are strong words. You
can also Regress (going backwards) or digress (going sideways). But
when you progress, it means you are going ahead and ahead and there
is always a place called forward. Myles Munroe says comfort is the
killer of capacity. You can also say that comfort zones are the killers of
destiny. Isaiah 40 begins by saying comfort ye my people, indicating
God believes in comfort, but when you get into a comfort zone and
begin to think that this is all that God was preparing you for and forget
the burden of the Lord, even that becomes the killer, and you never
think about forward and where God can take you and if God tells you;
now you need to come out of this comfort and move on, you are
unable to and have become like Peter who wanted to build a
tabernacle on the mount of Olives and remain in that could of glory.
Its time to move forward. THE KEY BEHIND PROGRESS IS FORWARD
MOVEMENT.
When the year 2000 was dawning and we were coming from one
millennium to another, God spoke to my heart and said The
retainment of focus is going to be the mother of all battles, because
the issue with the new millennium is that there will be quite a number
of alternatives that you can follow. It will be hard to remain focused.
Essentially, the Christian walk is about FOCUS. The greatest test in the
Christian faith is Focus. Thats why, the bible says, fight the good fight
of faith. The only fight the Christian has been called to fight is the
good fight of faith. One, it is a good fight and secondly its the only
one God calls us to fight and essentially, the fight of faith is a fight of
focus. How to remain in the supernatural on the word of God and not
to leave and come in the realm of the sensual and to observe the wind
and the storm. That is the Christian walk. But how does one remain
focused seated in heavenly places and not allow themselves to be
tempted and to think you are an earthly being having a spiritual
experience when the opposite is true, that you are a spiritual being
having an earthly experience. You become more aware of the physical
around you and begin to limit yourself instead of knowing you are a
spiritual person and there are dimensions that you can tap into and
they will take you through. It is essentially a battle of focus and the
more you remain focused, the more you go and you cross over and
enter into the place that the Lord has for you.
Lets revise a little about the Law of displacement. The key to
displacement is militancy. Every law has a key and all those keys work
together ensinque. You must be hungry for capacity, focused for
progress but when it comes to displacement, you must be militant.
You must be aggressive. The greatest challenge to displacement is
compromise.
(Judges 1:21) says: and the children of Benjamin did not drive out the
Jebusites. And the house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, the
Lord was with them. Verse 27 neither did Manasseh drive out the
inhabitants of Bethesda. Verse 29 neither did Ephraim drive out the
Canaanites. Neither did Zebulon drive out the inhabitants of Kitron.
Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho. Verse 33 neither
did Nathalie drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh. And the
Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain. And they
would not allow them to come down into the valley.
The word Amorite means talkativeness, restlessness etc. The word
Dan means to judge. Thats why Daniel means the judgment of God.
So you arrive at a place where restlessness and talkativeness drives
the judgments of God into limitation and you never get to execute
righteous Judgment as God would have you do.
Verse 35 But the Amorites would dwell in the mount Heres in Aijalon
and in shaaloim, yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed so that
they become subjects of forced labour. And the border of the Amorites
was from the going up to Akrabbim from the rock upward.
The greatest enemy of displacement is compromise. In Mathew 4,
Satan was looking for the price of Jesus. He tried to get him to bow
down and worship him and that he would in turn be given the
kingdoms of the world. But Jesus said not, I am not up for sale. But on
the last temptation, Jesus finally said to him, Depart from me!
Compromise is out there every day. How do you displace bad habit
from your life? But bringing in good habits, it is the law of
displacement. How does darkness fly out of the room? By introducing
light. How do you confront heretic teaching and error in the church?
By teaching the truth. You dont fight error by telling them this is
error. Wherever you see error, just bring in the truth. How do you
raise up children? Not by constantly telling them what not to do, but
by constantly telling them what to do. How do you open up youths and
young people to God? By placing a vision before them, not by trying to
patronize them. Give them a course to live for and they shall die for it.
So, along the way, when this truth comes in and the light comes in, it
dispels darkness, before long, the bible says, a little leaven, leaveneth
the whole .. So before long, the entire territory is taken for God
because of the introduction of light. But in the process of possession,
and you may be wanting to displace e.g. a habit of laziness and you
decide the only thing that will kick this laziness out is to begin a
programme of discipline. So you endeavour to displace it. During, this
time, there will come seasons of compromise and offers to get you to
compromise, and one of those days e.g. a still small voice will whisper
to you with suggestions not to wake up and that you can do it
differently and in that moment, if you compromise, you cannot
displace the habit. In fact, now the negative begins to displace the
positive. I used to hear Ed Cole say that sin is contagious, but Holiness
is a choice because, Holiness is swimming against the tide or it is like
going against the grain. Waking up daily and making up your mind
that this is the way am going to go. Thats holiness.
I doubt if one morning you will ever wake up and hear Satan tell you
today you must go and tithe. Its always a choice, there is always
something coming against that spirit of tithing or giving or helping.
Thats why you must be aggressive. Remember the secret of
displacement is militancy. The enemy is a compromising spirit and
compromise continues to grow and thats why the serpent in Genesis 3
becomes a dragon in revelations. Any position you dont accost and
militantly confront will eventually lead to you compromising. Creflo
Dollar recently said that many people speak and say, Oh, I fell into sin,
No! You walked into sin. Nobody falls into sin, because sin is a choice
of compromise. The only person the bible kind of gives a leeway is
Eve, the bible says, she was deceived. But the gentleman walked in
with both eyes into the trap and he knew exactly what he was doing.
You must take care of compromise it is a deadly thing. When you
compromise your position, you are actually attacking your integrity of
heart.
The bible says that David let the people with integrity of heart and
skillfulness of hands (Psalms 72). So if you are compromising integrity
of heart, it means you are arriving at a place where you will begin to
loose the ability to feed, nourish and cherish as the bible so desires.

Do you realize the grace on Miriam was to lead the nation in praise and
worship. The only place God didnt want her to touch was leadership
and the place of Moses. And when she insisted on touching what God
had given her, God even took that which He had given to her. Do you
realize that David had the kingdom but when he took Uriahs wife, God
took the kingdom away. Small test but at times huge doors swing on
those tests. They remembered neither His hand nor the day He
delivered them from the enemy. Psalms 78:55 says He cast out the
nation also before them divide them an inheritance by line, made the
tribe of Israel to dwell in their tents, yet they tested and provoked the
most High and kept not his testimonies. They turned back and dealt
unfaithfully like their fathers, they were turned aside like a deceitful
bow.
Concerning Psalms 1, a thought struck me, two men, two destinies.
Blessed is the man who doesnt walk in the council of the ungodly,
nor sitteth in the sit of the scornful, nor stand in the way of sinners.
Dont keep company with people who are always mocking and
downplaying other peoples things saying e.g. Thats not even good,
its not even nice, shes not even smart, look at her hair, its not well
kempt etc. Dont have sour grapes in your mouth all the time, for
once, say something nice about somebody. Dont become like a
deceitful bow, dont provoke him to anger. Remove those high places;
get to a place of blessing God. Envy, jealousy are in the church. When
someone is blessed, people begin murmuring wondering if there are
some tricks you play behind the scenes. Thats the wrong attitude; he
could be just blessed of God. Dont scorn or downplay what God is
doing, dont stand in the way of sinners. To sin means to miss the
mark.
In life, you need a person who can defend you in your absence. Come
to a place where you begin to appreciate God. See the good in people
and God will raise you, and you will break limitations. Rejoice with
those who rejoice. When someone has had a genuine breakthrough
from God, go and visit them and give them more breakthrough. Tell
them I hear the Lord has visited you and I have come to add my own
blessing to you. Not to constitute with others and begin to remove all
the mistakes from his breakthrough.
The enemies of capacity are issues that eat up the heart. Take care of
them. The secret of capacity is hunger. The enemy of progress is
comparison but its secret is focus. The enemy of displacement is
compromise while its secret is militancy. The enemy of expectation is
doubt, unbelief, double mindedness, while its secret is faith, image and
words. You limit God through the words of your mouth. Anytime you
get into ingratitude, you are limiting him. Why isnt there progress in
the wilderness, because you compare Egypt and your present position.
Your future is not in your past. Your future is ahead of you.
How to Activate the Limitless Dimension:
One of the most effective and easiest ways of witnessing is not to go
and bombard people with scripture but to be like the Samaritan woman
who told people how Jesus changed her life. If you can share how your
life has been changed, if you can say this is how I was, this is what I
have been through and this is what the Lord has done for me that is
the word made flesh.
Many people cannot relate to the word because hitherto it, it has been
presented badly in the name of religion. It has been presented as a
forced lifestyle, or as a way of coming out of reality and having your
head in the cloud and very many people cannot relate to that. But
when they see you, who as a normal human being, who pays your rent,
has a wife and children and even uses the toilet and brushes your
teeth, they begin to see that you are a normal person, just like them
and are coming in the name of the Lord and letting your life be an
open book. Now telling them what Christ has done for you will be
received as they begin to relate to you more closely and see that you
can identify with them on a closer level. Thats why Philip says show
us the Father and it shall suffice us, Jesus said Have I been with you
so long yet you have no understanding. If you have seen me, you have
seen the father. The bible says in 1st Corinthians 6, that he that is
joined to the Lord is one Spirit with the Lord. When they see you, they
should see Jesus. AMEN!! In the book of John, some Greeks came and
asked Philip and Andrew, we want to see Jesus. I get amazed at Jesus
because He immediately went into a lesson in Agriculture and he
answered and said, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and
dies, it abides alone. But if it dies, it brings forth much fruit. But this,
He was saying that right now, the only person you can see, who I am
representing is the Father. Thats what you can see, but if you want to
see Jesus, wait until I die, go into the grave, resurrect and then take
my sacrifice unto the Father, wait until I present myself as the perfect
lamb before God and I redeem mankind and now you can see me in
my sons, on the finished work of Calvary. When they see you, they
should see Jesus.
On the platform of the finished work of Christ, I have been speaking
previously on how to break limitation; I have said earlier that there is
nothing left for God to do again. When God gave Jesus, He gave His
best. When God gave the Holy Ghost, He gave His all and he has given
us His word. You cant give what you dont have. You can only give
what you have. Silver and gold have I none but such as I have give I
unto you and eventually it shall be proven what you have and what
you carry.
God never talked to Elijah about Jezebel yet Elijah was running away
from her. God never talked to Elijah about his problems. Just in the
same way, God never talked to Adam about the serpent in the garden.
Say aloud: God is not problem conscious. As a matter of fact, the
word of God almost at times can stumble you badly. Scriptures like
you shall be above only and not beneath can be a great stumbling to
people. Because their experience has always suggested they are
below. Say aloud God does not respect your experience.
You would think that God should comfort Elijah and say, I saw you
when you were bending with your head between your knees, I saw you
when you poured the alter with water, you are my servant come,
come, come, I saw you, you are a great man. I saw you when you
killed the prophets of Baal. I saw you, you did well. But God never
talked because God always moves with the presupposition that
whatever he has decked you with, armed you with or equipped you
with is enough to handle everything that comes against you.
Never go to God and talk to Him about the mountains. The mountain
is your responsibility. Mark Hankins says if you know what is on the
other side of a mountain you will move it. The mountain is your
responsibility. Its not Gods Moses comes before the red sea and cries
before God in anguish and hides behind a bush, then God comes and
gets him out and says to him, what are you crying about, what do you
have in your hand. In todays language, it would mean, whats all the
intercession thats going on in you. Whats all the fasting about? Now
am not be-littling fasting, but fasting doesnt change God, he is the
same before during and after you fast. He has never eaten so you
cant impress him with not eating. Neither has he slept so you cant
tell Him I have been awake in Kesha, look at my eyes. He never sleeps
nor slumbers. There are things that move and activate God and those
are the things He want you to tap into.
Moses, why are you crying, wake up, what do you have in your hand?
God is asking us, what is available to you because thats what He
wants to use. Stand up, stretch the rod and divide it yourself.
Limitations are in our lives because we are waiting on God to move
and He moved two thousand years ago. Now the only other person
who should move is you. Say aloud: Its your turn. For example in a
chess or checkers game, you cant make two moves at the same time.
It is illegal. Now we are trying to bring an illegal rule to the game.
GOD MOVED 2000 YEARS AGO!! He made His statement and moved.
Jesus died on the cross, paid the price, the curse was lifted, and the
works of the evil one were destroyed. The camp of the enemy was
blown asunder yet we still sing songs like We are going to the
enemys camp to take back what he stole from us! The problem now
begins because Jesus already destroyed the enemys camp so where
are you going to? He already destroyed the enemys camps and either
he did a good job or never did anything at all. All God is waiting for is
someone to arise and walk into what Jesus died for. Thats why I talk
about militancy and displacement. For someone to arise and say,
healing is not even Gods perfect potion but that Health is Gods
perfect potion. Because when God was with His church in the
wilderness, he was more into prevention than cure.
He gave them health laws and dietary laws. He also gave them clinical
laws (this is how you do things, dont eat, this and dont touch that
etc) He was more into prevention because it is presupposed that
they were healthy. The bible says, there was no one feeble among
them. Not one. I was with a man of God in the U.K. sometime and he
told me that he didnt know of 1 to 3 pastors above age 50 who
werent on 1-3 or even more subscription medicine. I asked him what
then they preach. Dont they preach the full gospel? Say aloud: Its
my turn, God is waiting on me.
Elijah had done what God asked him to do then Jezebel speaks and
fear grips his heart and he runs away from what God commanded him
to do. And he camps into a cave and all that is coming out of him is
complain, self pity, murmuring (I am the only one who has remained,
your people are breaking this and doing that, Lord, cant you see) But
God doesnt have time to listen to all that. He says to him, are you or
are not the man for the job. If you are not the man for the job, get out
of the way and let someone else do the job. Are you going to go
before God with your complaining or eventually stand up for your
responsibility?
The buck stops with you! It is not Gods responsibility anymore.
Because we have representatives on the face of the earth, who he has
empowered, commissioned and anointed. In fact, they are so
empowered that the Holy Spirit dwells within them. The creator of the
universe abides in them. It is no longer his responsibility. So dont
expect Him to do anything about your situation unless you yourself do
something about it. For example, concerning healing, the bible says, is
anyone among you sick, let him call for the elders of the church, they
will come with oil and anoint him and the prayer of faith will heal them.
In the entire gospels, I dont see one man whom Jesus said to My faith
has healed you. It was always your faith has healed you. Men and
brethren dont look at us as though we are some strange kind of gods,
but faith in the name of the Lord Jesus which this man has exercised
has made him whole.
Though Christ was rich for your sakes he was made poor, so that
through His poverty, you might be Rich. The bible says let them
continually shout for joy, let them continually say the Lord be
magnified who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant. This
means He has displeasure in the poverty of His servant. So God is not
coming to do anything about that state, He has already done what he
needs to do about it. Jesus died; he arose and ascended into heaven.
He is seated with the Father and everything He died for is available for
somebody to arise and walk in it.
Jesus died, he arose and ascended, He is seated with the Father and
everything he died for. He is waiting for somebody to arise and walk in
it. The other day, I told you that we work against ourselves and thus
kill ourselves. Recently, I went home and found how my small boy had
taken a very expensive toy which was bought in the U.K. and went up,
dropped it all the way down, comes down to pick it up and he repeated
this until finally the toy scattered into pieces. But he still ate food in
my house. He didnt stop being my son. When I come through the
door he still runs to meet me. But the unfortunate thing is that many of
us have this sin consciousness and guilt of I am not worthy to receive
anything from God. I am a sinner and Satan uses it to strengthen.
Three things Satan will try to deceive you with are, do you think you
merit getting it and when you overcome that he say, well you merit it
but not now and when you overcome that he says, ok, you have it now
but it wont last. You can only enjoy it for sometime. So after you
conquer, he will always keep you running. E.g., he may say, do you
think you can marry your fiance, when you conquer that he says, now
do you think it will last, look all around you, how many were like you
and where are they now. When those seeds take place in your heart,
you kill your marriage completely.
God told Elijah, get out of the way and anoint Elisha and the bible says,
he took a mantle and threw it upon Elisha. The word mantle means to
expand. English is a combination of words. And Ex means out of. He
come, threw his mantle on Elisha, it was a call for expansion, for
enlargement, to step out of the norm. a call to walk in fullness of
destiny, a call to get out of limitation.
To expand, there are some things you must walk away from. Some of
those things are ignorance, unbelief, doubt, limiting situations and
environments but the greatest of all those things are mentalities. You
dont just walk away from them but kill them. To build capacity, you
must walk away from some things and that involves sacrifice and
decision. Each of us today has an invitation from God and its like a
mantle is being thrown on us. Each of us today is receiving a spiritual
invitation to step out of something. We are all receiving an invitation;
The reason why things are not happening with many of us is because
at one point, there was a mantle that was thrown to you and you still
kept digging with your oxen. You never left. He who escapes the
sword of Jehu shall Heziel kill, he who escapes the sword of Heziel,
shall Elisha kill. But you are still digging so the enemies of the Lord are
multiplied against you, because you never took your place of
obedience. But Pastor, it doesnt look like expansion. Look at what I
have been able to put up and how I have been doing it. At times,
promotion or capacity building doesnt automatically mean more in
terms of status, position, size volume or magnitude. Why should I
leave my status, ten years I am pouring hand on a man whom I dont
know if he will call down fire the next moment. All he was doing was to
minister to him and to serve him.
Why should Joseph step out of Potiphas house and go to the prison.
Why should Jesus step from heaven and come on the earth, die on a
cross and God think He should now give Him the throne. Why
shouldnt He have stayed in Heaven. He stepped out of heaven, took
on human flesh, walked through life and in a sense was limited. Jesus
was the only person who laid down His life one hundred percent in
sacrifice. Because even when we give our all, that doesnt include the
cloths we are wearing and we walk naked. There is no one person who
has ever given his or her all. But He was naked on the cross, He was
thirsty, hungry and even God looked away. The bible says, Jesus cried
out my God my God, why have you forsaken me. He gave His all,
100% so that you can be redeemed. And many of us think that if I am
going to be promoted or capacity is going to build up within me, then
maybe this means that my status should increase in terms of more
money, another car, another house. That is not what capacity building
means. Solomon tried all that and he wrote the book of Ecclesiastes
which is called the wisdom of the common man minus God. Vanity of
vanity. He said, anything my heart desired, that I got it, more wives
etc. The dream of every man is to be like Solomon. Have enough
wives round about you running left right and center. The bible says he
made silver to be like stones in Jerusalem, and all the kings of the
earth come and brought treasures to him.
Why is it that we always think that promotion, capacity must involve
more in the physical? Anytime a mantle is thrown on you, its all
about the inner development and enlargement of the heart. The
greatest blessing you can receive from God is a big heart because he
that has a bountiful heart shall be blessed. For God so loved the world
that HE GAVE. I sense in the spirit that there is a mantle being thrown
out in the spirit and the reason why some of us have never been able
to cross over Jordans is because there was a mantle thrown and we
never picked it. We remained still where we were. But God in His
mercy has come full circle again. If only Judas had waited long enough
he would have heard the words of Jesus Father forgive them for they
know not what they do. Some of us have pre-judged ourselves.
Others are in self pity and we dont ever think we can come across.
There is an opportunity being thrown to you today in the spirit, a door,
a mantle, a dare a challenge an invitation. God is saying, I DARE YOU
TO STEP OUT.
Some people get afraid when such talk begins to come because
responsibility comes back where it needs to be. Consider for a
moment, the man in the mirror, do you know who the man in the
mirror is? There is a storm; guys are in a boat, James, John and other
disciples. Then Peter looks across and sees Jesus and says Master, if it
is you, tell me to come. James and John tell him Peter, dare you
remove one leg out of this boat, why? Because the moment Peter gets
one leg out of the boat and walks on the water, it places a
responsibility on the other disciples and if there is one thing people
hate is responsibility. People would love for us to have excuses like
the blind man by the poolside who was asked if he would like to be
made whole and he responded and said I have no man. For thirtyeight whole years, I have been waiting here and whenever I want to
get into the pool another one goes before me. God is saying, am
kicking off all the crutches you have been hanging on, am kicking them
out. Peter, step out of the boat, put a responsibility on the rest, let
them know time has come for them to step out and walk on the water
themselves.
People get scared when one marriage begins to work, because we
should fellowship together in our weaknesses. There is no assignment
that doesnt have a cross and the only thing to do about the cross is to
endure it. You cant fast it away or bind it away. You have to endure
the cross. There is also no assignment without shame; you have to
despise the shame. How do you do that, by considering what the word
says: That for the joy that is set before you. Focus on the joy dont
look at the cross, neither the shame. The key of Jesus, how He
managed to go through all that He endured was that He set His heart
on the joy set before Him. When one man takes responsibility and
steps out and says we can conquer this thing e.g. Africa can change,
Marriages will work, Businesses will succeed, We can make money and
prosper the kingdom, A pastor can stand blameless and he can birth
sons and deliver ministry baffles people and they begin to say that he
is a freemason, he casts out devils by Beelzebub, we had him
blaspheming, he has called himself God, he is a passing wind; WHY?
Because he simply stepped out and decided to be different.
Somebody once said: The same crowd that shouted Hosanna hosanna
is the same crowd that shouted Crucify Him crucify Him! People get
angry when standards are lifted, and somebody shows them you can
get here, because I have gotten here. Thats why people dont like
Jesus, because Jesus showed them that you can conquer. But
everyone wants to have an excuse why they cant conquer.
Jesus come in the old covenant, walked through it, kept the law, yet
still died on a tree as one who didnt keep the law and proved to
humanity YOU CAN DO IT! People hate standards and hate role models
who defy all odds and make it. I challenge you and dare you. If you
consider all that I have said in this book, walk out of that boat, despise
the storm that you will no doubt arrive at the person God meant you to
be. Stop discussing the issue and divide the red sea. Like Gideon, get
out of the cave and rise up against the medianites. I am daring you
like Peter, to erase from your memory that you ever denied the Lord
and to face sinners and preach the gospel like there is no
condemnation. I am daring you like the apostle Paul even through you
sword has shed many a blood, that you can rise up and even have the
audacity of receiving revelation and delivering the church of Jesus
Christ two thirds of the new testament, am daring you to rise and walk
in what Jesus died for. I am daring you to conquer disease, sickness,
poverty, to stop thinking like Africans, to stop thinking there is no
hope. I am daring you to come beyond that marital situation, business
situation, family situation, come across it because you have within you
what it takes, because the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the
dead, dwells and abides in you and it will work. If you consider
excuses, you wont step out but you must step out, it may b rocky to
begin with just like it was for Elisha, it didnt mean a good bed or
status and position or more in terms of magnitude and volume but he
was in the center of Gods will an enlarged heart, an expansion that
money cannot buy.
When Elisha died, someone was thrown in his cave, next to the place
where he was buried and once the dead man touched Elishas bones,
he resurrected. What manner of man was this? You cant buy that
with twelve oxen. When he saw Elijahs chariot go up to heaven, he
said my father my father, and the chariots of Israel and he took the
mantle and smote the Jordan. You cant do that with oxen, age or
status. That is only done by the finger of God in your life.
How to break financial limitations:
When 2005 begun, the Lord told me that the emphacy in the Spirit for
the entire year is going to be to help His people break out financially.
As we sat with the leaders of this assignment, we saw that this year
thus far, 750,000 shs has passed through this assignment but by the
time the year is ending, I believe we will clock beyond one million. In
the years to come, we will be running a million plus on a daily basis,
because God is increasing our demand. He is increasing the demand
in the house; he is telling us feed the hungry, cloth the naked, house
the homeless and preach the word and say that the kingdom of God is
at hand. So we are continuing with the ministry of Jesus Christ that is
upon our lives. We are supporting some members of this assignment
in terms of paying their house rent here and there and doing this and
that but next year, we want to expand our boundary. We want to pay
school fees for some orphans, begin some social projects; we want to
break through and do the gospel of the kingdom and not leave it to the
Indians. The church of Jesus Christ was left in charge, we want you to
take full charge in Jesus name so we are breaking out and breaking
financial limitation in Jesus name.
When Pharaoh finally let the people of God go, the bible says that God
never let them go empty handed. There is no way your destiny or life
is complete without financial deliverance. There is no way you can
worship God fully. The bible says when you have eaten and you are
full, then will you lift you your hands, and bless the Lord. Which means
praise and worship is not effective on an empty stomach and we have
many empty stomached people worshiping God but they are not
worshipping him right because it is not consistent, their deliverance is
not packaged fully. Redemption is not complete without the resources,
the financial dimension at rest taken care of. Except for a man who
had resource, Jesus body would have remained on the cross. And
when God brought the people out, he brought them out with great
substance.
Now there are two ways of getting great substance, the bible says, He
gave the people favour; there is a time I strongly needed favour when
it come to paying my house rent. Why did I need favour you may ask?
Because the money was not there, and I needed the landlord to look
kindly on me. If there was any kindness in his heart. From the hidden
bowels of mercy, please fore bare with me one more month; and
peradventure when the Lord blesses me I will indeed pay. Sometimes
there would be favour and it would flow into three months in some
occasions. But how many of you know that at one time, that favour
closes up. This is because the Lord wants you to grow up. The last
time I remember telling my wife this will never happen again! Now I
pay my rent in advance, because our faith has grown. Redemption
isnt complete until the financial aspect is taken care of. Apparently,
many people think that God gives you money to take care of your
things, but when God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt, and
they came out with great substance, there was no shop in the
wilderness that they were going to spend the money on.
Lets begin by first outlining our needs. The first need is food not
cloths (you can eat and walk around without cloths). So mans basic
need is food. You can eat and walk around without cloths and have no
shelter and you wont die, will you? So the first basic need is food.
When they came out of Egypt, the first think was to take care of them
at their basic level and He provided food for them. The bible says
manna would fall from heaven and they would gather it. At times, they
would want a change of diet and they would complain saying God,
today give us meat God was not blind to the fact that they needed
meat, only that they asked wrongly for it. The bible says when the
mean came; God told them today you will eat meat until it goes
through your ears and nose. God told them because of their
murmuring and grambling, the meat he would send would kill them.
They would die whilst in their mouth. The whole point is that God
provided for them food.
Concerning cloths, the bible says that when they were in the
wilderness, their cloths did not wax cold; neither did their shoes wear
out. They were self adjusting shoes. As they grew, the shoes would
grow with them. Nike and bata still has to come into such technology,
where you supernaturally grow with your shoe. I remember when I
was young; my shoes wouldnt last for long. The shoes and cloths
grew with them.
Concerning water, there was no water bill; the bible says there was a
rock that used to follow them in the wilderness providing for water. No
electricity bill, there was a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day.
Divine air conditioning; the cloud used to shelter them because in the
desert, you would roast during the day. At night, the desert would get
cold and freezing so there was a pillar of fire by night in the midst of
people keeping them warm. Therefore, the money they came out from
Egypt with was not for their needs. But unfortunately today, we are
working for our needs, why? Because in life, you have people that are
wise and others that are otherwise. Ask yourself, am I wise or
otherwise. In life, we have people that are moving clockwise and those
that are moving anti-clockwise. Deuteronomy 28 says these blessings
shall come ON you, they shall PURSUE you and they shall OVERTAKE
you. But in life, we have people that are pursuing blessings and at
times overtaking blessing and they eventually have to back up and
pick blessing and then move on. It is dangerous to move faster than
blessing and because blessing was ordained to pursue you, the
moment you run and begin to pursue it, there is confusion in the traffic
of the spirit and it wonders, maybe we need to run away, we dont
know why he is coming. So blessing will always run from you because
you are not keeping the program and keeping the rule in the spirit.
Why? When God let the people go out of Egypt, the money, the wealth
was for them to serve Him with. The only time God asked for that
wealth, is when the temple was being built.
Lets come closer home, Pastor, I have a job, I work in this
organization, I have this employment, I have this business, I have this
and that, does it mean, that I should not pay attention to my house
rent and just serve the Lord? Thats not what am saying at all. Jesus
said, see ye first the kingdom. That simply me4ant where is your
priority and He said, if the kingdom is your priority, all these other
things shall be added unto you. He didnt say some but all.
We walked into this town on the 2nd of December, this assignment
begun on the fourth of January, through the years; God has sustained
my family as we purposely put first the kingdom. There is not day we
have ever laced for food, there is not day I have ever had to explain to
my family that Oh you know, God called us into ministry, and you
have to understand that the ways are hard, milima na mabonde, so
today, lets just take a glass of water and sleep. There has been
constant, abundant provision. As we continually increased our desire
to serve God, there has been continuous abundant provision. To a
place and point we have desired to be a blessing to many people.
Essentially, what God is putting in your hands out of your work is seed.
That is the plot of land where God puts the seed in your hand and He
wants you to be sensitive to Him and know where to put your seed. So
that your needs are met by Him as you continue to observe kingdom.
There is no one who can meet your needs like God can. There is one
more Giant to fall in Africa, one more Giant to fall in the body of Christ
and it is called poverty. People dont talk about finances because they
say it is a grey area and pastors dont like talking about it because
they think people will run out of church. But I have super abundant
confidence in my heart to speak about this. Because the people who
have served me know that God meets my needs.
I had Kenneth Copeland say that for a long time, the church kept the
preachers poor. There are things preachers couldnt preach because
they knew elder so and so is there, he is the one who gives the biggest
tithe and my salary comes from there so let me not preach on this. I
can preach concerning any subject because I dont receive a salary
from this assignment, I look up and I wait on Him, and through the
various channels provided it comes to me. I am super comfortable,
abundantly provided for so I can preach what I hear in the spirit boldly.
There are people who right now are saying Pastor, get away from
speaking about that area, lets talk about other limitations! But I will
focus on this subject matter.
You must be free, when Pharaoh let the people go, they did not go
away empty handed, God bore to the fact that they needed to have
resources to worship Him. Man was made to worship God but you
cant worship God empty handed. You must worship Him with
substance. To help another individual rise up, is worship to God. You
cant lift up if you are not lifted up yourself. In legal terms, they say
you cant give what you dont have. When you want to give a gift in
cash or kind to be a blessing and you lack the finances, the problem is
not the desire but the ability. How many of you saw those people in
Ukambani on television dying of hunger? Wouldnt you like to feed
them? The issue is not desire but ability. We lack the ability. Many of
us are like the widow of Zarephath, who said, she had enough flour for
her and her son only. She went out to pick only two sticks because
three sticks would make the fire too great and it would burn up the
little she had. All she wanted was enough to cook for her and her son
to eat and be satisfied. We dont have surplus.
For a long time, the true concern of my heart has been that the church
of Jesus Christ has been so broke. When I was young, I used to be told
to always carry something in my pocket lest you step on a tomato and
they punish you for not being able to pay for it. We dont have enough
for us so we wonder how we can have enough to spare. The traffic is
wrong because everybody is focused on themselves and how they can
meet THEIR own need. When you begin to focus on God and kingdom
projects and you go to places where you believe that the word of the
Lord is here and you begin to attach yourself to those projects, I assure
you that is that becomes a practice, you will discover less is happening
to you and more is going into those kingdom projects and before long,
you will discover, I cant remember the last time I worried about rent.
By the time the month is ending, its already paid. Or you think, I cant
remember when last the electricity was disconnected, or water
disconnected, I have been blessed, I am moving from glory to glory.
But its only as I kept the kingdom head of me and giving to God.
AMEN!
Africa will remain poor; saints of God will remain down as long as the
traffic is wrong. What is the right traffic? Face God, pursue God
whatever He puts in your hand, serve Him with it and I assure you
every other blessing will follow. The reason why I am saying this is
because I have been where you are, I am your brother. I have walked
where you have walked, I have said where you are sitting, I have had
times when there was nothing, I have had times when the landlord has
welded my door and closed it with a padlock. Not before I come into
Proverbs 10:15
The rich mans wealth is his strong city; the destruction of the poor is
their poverty. Whey are people being destroyed? Because the
destruction of the poor is their poverty. If we are going to put on some
destruction, we must come to a place which is embedding in the body
of Christ, there must be a release.
I have been in places where I did not have money, I have been in
places where I have money and I know the difference. I have been in
times when I am believing God for food and times where there was no
care in my heart for food. I know the difference. I have been in times
where I am in prayer and intersession so that I dont meet the landlord
and I have been in times when I go looking for the land Lord; at times
just to greet him and ask him how he is doing because you dont owe
him any money. So I can use my faith for other things. I have been in
times when I have been in faith holding on and believing God. There
was a time we received a letter in this assignment from the landlord of
the building saying this is a notice, you have gone way beyond the
limit and we want you to know that on this date, we will close the door
and cast you out. How many of you know that in such an environment
its not very easy for you to receive revelation from above? How many
of you know in such a situation money is a defense and a shield. That
letter come when we were having a conference and we have guests in
our midst. The people around me saw the letter but didnt tell me they
had seen it. They placed it on the desk and kept quiet but I wondered
why there was agitation and eventually go the letter. I looked at it and
something in me got angry and I tore it into small pieces and said, this
is the last time this will ever happen. Pharaoh doesnt let you go when
you are just asking is it the will of the Lord to prosper me, No! He
changes when you know that you know that you know it is Gods desire
to bless me. I want you to become convinced, that when God lets you
go, he doesnt want you to go empty handed. But it doesnt come by
the way you are doing it. You must change that approach. You must
get to a place where you get into the Lords way.
Psalms 105:37 says
When they left Egypt, there was not one feeble among them. How
many left Egypt, the men above were 600,000 according to statistics
and historians, 3 million plus left Egypt and the bible says there was
not one feeble person among them. Why? That was the church in the
wilderness, this is the church in the New Testament which has a better
covenant, based on better promises, so why should we be lagging
behind, and be the ones without the glorious plenty resource that God
gives why? Because we missed it, when God said let my son go, He
said that He may come and serve me, but we have come to serve
ourselves and we worship God with pocket change why then shouldnt
But I saw two men of God; they were ignorant, unlearned luo men.
They stood in the sitting room and began to sing luo songs, whilst
shaking their legs. It is not quantity, it is quality. And they told my
mother, the sick will come we wont go into the bedroom, he himself
will come. I had held basins of blood vomit day in day out, I had seen
sheets full of blood being taken from the bed, but because the quality
was right, I saw my father come out of his bedroom and sit down on a
stool. He was a wealthy man but sickness took all that away. In my
entire life, I have never spent the night on a mat, I grew up in a rich
home. One day 25 of our milking cows died together with 52 chicken
including sickness and robbed all the wealth we had. But I saw my
father sit down, receive the word and that was the end of the story
because if it is a grain, it doesnt matter the bigness. That is why I am
emphasizing breaking financial limitation. If the faith is real, it doesnt
matter the bigness of the mountain. Do you know why people fail? It is
because faith works with patience. The bible says let patience have
her perfect work, so faith needs patience to bring the work to
completion. Faith is to stay focused on the desire and knowing in
whom you have believed in but of necessity, it must work with
patience. People are not patient, so patience cant have her perfect
work.
Consider this logic, I go to the bank and take a loan of 300,000, how
long will I pay the loan? Maybe 5 years with interest; why cant I stay in
faith for five years, then get the blessing from God interest free and if
its the real thing, it wont take five years, but I had rather go to the
bank like Tom and Jerry, you remember Tom and Jerry, when Tom saw
a beautiful girl he would pay an arm and a leg for it, he committed
everything to have the girl. And he come with some small perfume
which Mr. Buch his rival embarrassed when he come with a trailer of
perfume. Why should I commit myself to an institution that has no
interest at heart but to make profit? There is no bank that has your
interest at heart, expect their own. It is an institution that is built on a
world system. It wants profit, at the end of the day they dont ask So
how is your father and mother doing? No! Or Did they make it
through Katrina? No? One of the bankers in this assignment was
telling us that all the boss asks is where are your sales, its all he wants
to see because at the end of the day, its about how much they are
making. And if they make the money from your ignorance, the better,
you should have known better before joining. Nobody forced you to
sign, you were just advised. If you need say one million, all they say is
good, not this is how we give one million, the interest changes after
this long, this is the much, you will pay this much, and so on, and you
commit yourself by signing on the dotted line. Before that month is
over, you go and get your atm slip and look at it, and find that it has
already passed with interest and for the next 36 months, you will
always be cursing your pay slip when you look at it these people are
thugs and thieves, But who took you there, was it not your two legs.
They arent thugs or thieves, its agreement, they have a contract
signed with your name which asks you to boldly print your full names,
attach ID card and you attach and you sign it and if you dont have a
signature, you imprint your thumb print stating you have signed in. So
dont ever look at it and say they are thugs, no its you, you are the
unwise one and you need to change. So if anyone needs bashing, its
not them but you, bash yourself until you effect change in your life.
They are there for business and have a vision.
Jesus told us, if you want to do away with this trouble, there is
something here called a grain of mustard seed of faith and there is this
mountain. So I normally tell myself to wait and work on my faith until I
know it is the right kind of faith and then put it against my mountain.
The more I learn how to do it, the more I become proficient in living a
lifestyle of faith and before long I will be so good at it. Just to mention
that I used to believe God for shoes but now, I cant tell you the last
time I thought about shoes in my life. The last time I was in the U.K,
the gift I was given the most was shoes, which come in all manner of
shapes. I would go to a place and someone just offers to buy me
shoes. This suit I am wearing, I met a person and when I met him, he
was shopping, and he said where I come from, if you find people
eating, you sit and eat with them and now that you have found me
shopping, choose what you want and I will buy it for you. I concurred
and chose a suit of 175 pounds, he lamented asking which section I
had ventured into, but I answered the right section sir. I didnt
struggle so when I wear it, I wear it with thanksgiving. I didnt buy this
tie, watch, shoes and even the socks; they were all given to me as a
gift. The last time I was in faith for shoes, socks etc was a long time
ago, but they always came the kind I would like. My faith was
exercised to the point where it become natural. I have in the past
given away shirts, coats, shoes, trousers and still do. And there are
times you give out one and even then your flesh advices you against it.
This is when you tell your flesh no, this is the one to give. Faith is
potent. It is not quantity, but quality, if you have it as small as a
mastered seed grain, not grains but grain then you have it done.
I broke through because I believed this truth and I live by these truths
and I am breaking through better and better. If I tell you what I am
seeing in my future, you will be amazed. I cant talk it with people so I
take walks with my wife and share with her because I know she can
receive. But when you tell others, they think you are being proud and
that one nut in your head is too tight but I think its the opposite that
some nuts in our heads are too tight and need loosening. Loosen up!
In Mark 11:23,
Jesus says have faith in God, for verily I say unto you, that whosoever
(this talks of the universality of faith) says to this mountain be thou
removed and be thou cast into the sea and not doubt in his heart, but
shall believe those things he says shall come to pass, he shall have
what whatsoever he says.
When I was growing up, I was told the kikuyus were very good in
business, that they have the hand for business (mkono was biashara)
not so, I just think the kikuyus observe laws. They are hard workers;
they put themselves in impossible situations and bring results. They
are also risk takers. Some of the most cowardly people I have known
are the luhyas and before he takes a risk, he will go to the loo, three
to four times, pondering here and there. So its not the hand of
business, its simply observing of principles and those principles
yielding results. God is no respecter of persons. Cain was told, if you
do that which is right, will you not be accepted. When I visit
upcountry, they say that one is just like a kikuyu because they have
identified the same risk taking the kikuyu embraces is what is in me. It
is not tribe but principle, Jesus said here WHOSOEVER. Whether
kikuyu, luo etc, as long as its done; the result is guaranteed. Chinese,
Japanese or American WHOSOEVER. Say aloud: WHOSOEVER. It is
universal, not just potent, but universal, even if a small child uses it, it
will reproduce, if a grown up uses it, it will work, if a thin, fat, short, tall
or small person uses faith it will work, it is for WHOSOEVER. God is no
respecter of persons. It is universal.
The scope of faith is whatsoever. This makes faith an open cheque;
because it says whosoever and whatsoever and it says you only need a
grain of the right quality if you are a whosoever and you have a
whatsoever, it should work. That is why I have emphasized that you
must break out of limitation, you have no excuse, you cant hide under
the umbrella of one finger. You have no excuse, you must break out.
You may be saying, Oh my case is different, my dad died when I was
young, or I am the child of a rape situation and come from a poverty
background, or you know my father married five wives and I am the
child of wife number six who was not even a wife. You cant choose
your background but you can choose your future, Jesus was born in a
manger, but He now has a throne. You cant choose your background
but you can choose your future so stop using excuses. Dont exchange
your destiny for foolishness, you need to change. Whosoever and
whatsoever. There is something in my spirit I want to pass on to you.
You may ask yourself, can faith handle the building of a house? Its a
whatsoever, can faith handle buying car? It is a whatsoever. Can faith
handle marriage? It is a whatsoever. Can faith handle bringing up
Verse 5 and he brought him out abroad and said, look now toward
heaven and tell the stars if you are able to number them, and said
unto him, so shall thy seed be. And he believed in God.
Faith is image governed, image is environment controlled and when
God wants to change the man, he changes the environment so that the
image can change. God doesnt change your environment buy taking
you e.g. out of kaloleni into muthaiga, instead, He opens you up to His
word and its His word that becomes your environment and when this
happens and His word begins to paint an image within you, that image,
will not then permit you to stay in kalonleni, or walking on foot every
day because the word begins to increase your value, it begins to show
you redemption, it begins to show you the price that was paid, it begin
to show you the patriarchs and how they walked with God and they
were men of stature and might, it begins to show you how Abraham
did not accept a gift but he bought the land. Your environment begins
to open up; your image begins to change. The word begins to show
you that marriage should not be a struggle, it begins to show you
blissfulness and how Isaac, Rebecca, Abraham, Sarah who at 90 was
still winning beauty contests. If a king of a nation could fall for Sarah,
she must have been something. Thats what covenant is all about. I
always tell my wife that at 90 years, she will beat Sarah. Because
when the word becomes your environment and you work on it, there is
an image produced in you and you can walk rested. Thats is why
many things do not trouble me any more because the environment I
have created and the image its producing will soon burst open and I
find yourself in a new place.
