2023_The_Year_of_the_Prolific_Church

00:00
Happy New Year! Welcome to 2023! I'm sure you've been waiting for this message of the year, right?
Yes. Because expectation is important. That means you have faith right? We must always receive
God's Word with faith and then produces results for us.

00:40
The clouds surely gathered in 2022.

00:47
And I told you about the different kinds of clouds

00:50
I also told you that the most important of all those clouds was our own clouds. Because our clouds are
water-carrying clouds, right? And the Lord was gracious to us so wonderfully. This year is a year that
the Lord already prepared. And there are sometimes special preparations for certain things. I want you
to look at St. Luke's Gospel chapter 14, from verse number 15.

02:20
And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, blessed is he
that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. Jesus had been teaching. And one of those in the crowd,
after hearing these teachings of Jesus said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of
God.

02:53
The response of the master was also quite remarkable. Here what he said, Next verse, Then said he
unto him, a certain man made a great supper. And bade many,

03:16
and sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, come; for all things are now ready.
And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of
ground and I must needs to go and see it. I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have
bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I
have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So that servant came and shewed his Lord these
things, then the master of the house, being angry, said to His servant, go out quickly into the streets
and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt and the blind. And the
servant said, Lord, it is done, as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room and the Lord said unto
the servant, go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in that my house may be
filled. Next verse, For I say unto you, that none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my

-1-
supper. What a reply. What a reply from Jesus. All the men said he was blessed is he that shall eat
bread in the kingdom of God. And Jesus went into this.

04:57
What was he telling him? I brought the kingdom. You've been invited. That's exactly what Jesus was
saying to the man.

05:16
The man's looking forward to that kingdom. He says, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom.
And Jesus is saying, I've brought you the kingdom. And of course, you know the story. They rejected
his offer.

05:35
They rejected his offer. During the, the IPPC, the IPPC we had in November, one of the striking things
that the Lord said to us was,

05:59
we should function. God's Church, God's people should function as a kingdom and not as
organizations. That's an extraordinary statement. And requires spiritual understanding. To grasp what
the Lord was saying there; and that message I present to you. God wants His people God wants His
church, to live as a kingdom

06:42
and not as organizations. For a long, long time. The church has lived and functioned like organizations
in the world

07:02
like charities in the world in various forms of organizations, but God says, No, that's not what he called
us to be.

07:24
His plan was to raise a kingdom of priests. a kingdom of priests, Royal priests, Royal priests, and if you
read in Hebrews chapter seven, and from verse 23, I'm going to read those verses, he says, and they
truly were many priests because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death. But this man,
talking about Jesus, because He continueth ever had an unchangeable priesthood. That's amazing.
This man, because he continueth ever. He has an unending life. He has an unchangeable priesthood.
Go to chapter six from verse 16, will be alright. For men verily swear by the greater and an oath for
confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show on to the
heirs of promise the immutability of his council confirmed by an oath: by that by two, listen to this now,
that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong
consolation who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us. Which hope we have as
an anchor of the soul but sure and steadfast in which entered into that within the veil; follow this now,
Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus made an high priest for ever after the order of
Melchizedec. Jesus Christ was made and high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedec.

-2-
09:48
Not the Aaronic priesthood in the house of Levi but after the order of Melchizedec. This is this is
important. You want to know who he's talking about here? Go to chapter seven, verse one,

10:14
chapter seven, verse one, for this Melchizedec, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met
Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him. This Melchizedek now we all talk
about Abraham, the great Abraham, the friend of God. Alright, we all talk about him. He is the great
Abraham. In fact, God, God identified himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And he said,
This is my memorial forever. That's to tell you how great Abraham was. Isaac was his son, Jacob was
his grandson. And yet this man was blessed by another by the name of Melchizedek. So he tells you
look at it, for this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God who met Abraham returning
from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him. To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all: he
paid his tithe to Melchizedek. First by interpretation, this is extraordinary. You know, there are people
who who try to say that Melchizedek being king of Salem, they say Salem was a place and the trying.
But that's not what the word is saying. The word tells you what he means by king of Salem. He's not
talking about that town called Salem. No, no, no. He says, it's got an interpretation look at it to whom
also Abraham gave a tenth part of all first being by interpretation, King of Righteousness. Melchizedek
King of Righteousness, and after that also king of Salem, which is king of peace. You see the
interpretation. king of Salem means king of peace. Melchizedek was King of Righteousness. Abraham
recognized Him and given tithes of the spoils. This man is called King of Righteousness, king of peace.
There's more. Look at it without father, without mother, without the decent, having neither beginning of
days nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God abideth a priest continually.

13:13
Remarkable. So the Bible says, God made a promise. Prophetically speaking of Jesus Christ. He said,
thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek after the order of Melchizedek, an everlasting
priesthood. King of Righteousness, king of peace Blessed be God. Go to revelation chapter one and
begin reading from verse four. John to the seven churches which are in Asia, Grace be unto you and
peace from him which is and which was and which is to come; and from the seven spirits which are
before His throne, and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead,
and the prince of the kings of the earth, unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own
blood. Look at the next verse. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his father, to Him be
glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Did you see that? He hath made us kings and priests unto
God. He's not about to do it, He's done it. He's done it. We are kings and priests unto God. Remember
Melchizedek King of Righteousness, king of peace, priest of the Most High God.

15:00
He's called Priest of the most high God. That's amazing. That's amazing. Go to First Peter chapter two
from verse nine.

15:15

-3-
But ye, He's talking about us, but ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a royal priesthood.
That's referring to King-Priests. Melchizedek was a king-priest. Jesus Christ is a king-priest. And He
raised us and made us King-Priests. a kingdom of priests. We are royal priests. Say I'm royalty. Say, in
Christ Jesus, I'm royalty in Christ Jesus, I am royalty. That's remarkable. That's remarkable. Because
remember, Jesus said, When you go, to preach, he sent us to preach. So when you go to preach, and
enter, a city. He says, you come to a house and you say, Peace be upon this house. Peace be upon
this house. He told us to proclaim peace. He says, if you're accepted, if your message is accepted, he
says your peace will remain with them. He says, otherwise your peace will return to you. That's
amazing. So we can proclaim peace, why? We are priests in the order of Melchizedek by Christ Jesus,
remember, we're joint heirs with Him. The Bible says we're joint heirs with Christ. We're joint heirs with
him. So we're not priests in the order of Aaron, the Levitical priesthood, we're priests in the order of
Melchizedek. The King of Righteousness and the king of peace. So he sends us, we are His
ambassadors. And we proclaim peace. Oh if God's people will recognize this, understand this, there'll
be peace in the world. But most have never known this. It's not taught we just pray for peace. Oh, God,
give them peace. We pray like that. Do you say oh God, just give them peace. But no we were sent to
proclaim peace? He says when you go say peace be upon this house. Imagine if you proclaim peace
on your nation. proclaim peace on your city. Imagine what will happen. Listen, the peace will come
when you proclaim it. And in this 2023 we will proclaim it. We will use what God has given us and
proclaim peace . We can do it we will do it by the power of the Holy Ghost. You know sometimes we
think we're waiting for God but God's waiting for us. He says if the son of peace be there your peace
shall abide. Otherwise he says it shall return to you. Glory to God. Tell somebody this is 2023
Everything is different. For the world it shall be a year of decision. Yes, a year of decision like they've
never seen before. God is saying I put before you life and I put before you death. Choose life it's a time
of decision for the world. And many will be receiving their final call. And this is so important. There are
many who many who have been called again and again, again and again, God tugging on their hearts.
But 2023 will be for many a final call. Because it's the year of decision. They've got to make that year.

20:19
They've got to make it, they've got to make it. There're many who will never have an opportunity again.
This is their year, and they must make the decision for Christ. This is their year. Many will have no other
opportunity and that's why it's

20:45
very, very serious. It's very, very serious. As at April 2022. And I was praying, and the Spirit of God
began to speak to me about this. That the coming year will be a time of decision for the world. They're
being presented with this opportunity, as though they were never given and yet for many, it will be their
final call.

20:46
That's very serious. But it's all it also should steer in us the necessity for us to take the message to the
ends of the earth, to the whole world. But it shall be so why, because this year 2023 is the Year of the
Prolific Church. The Church shall spread throughout the earth unhindered. The Church of Christ shall
spread throughout the earth and this

-4-
22:50
prolificacy

22:51
of the church in these days shall be as never before experienced because the church shall proliferate to
the ends of the earth unhindered. The Lord gave a parable of the kingdom. He said it's like a woman
that put a little leaven in a dough of bread and it spread to all of it, so is the kingdom like a mustard
seed that though it be the smallest when it is sown grows to be a great tree and birds of the Earth can
lodge in its branches.

24:17
You are going to be so prolific.

24:22
Everywhere

24:25
Everywhere, in an outstanding way. You get in there and the spirit of multiplication. You would see it
happening because this is God's plan for His church in 2023.

25:00
And the church will spread throughout the Earth, throughout the earth unhindered. Now three important
things for us. Number one is to Prioritize the Spirit. Prioritize the Spirit. You know in the early church,
the Holy Spirit was so important, so important.

25:35
In Acts chapter 19, when Paul went to Ephesus, the Bible tells us when you read from verses one to
seven, he met some 12 disciples there. And the first question he asked them, Have you received the
Holy Ghost since you believed? And they said, We haven't even heard that there is any Holy Ghost. He
said, unto what then were ye baptized? They said, We only know John's baptism. And he explained to
them about the Lord and talked to them about the Holy Ghost and laid hands on them and they receive
the Holy Ghost. And 12 of them began to speak in tongues and prophesied. Just 12 men first thing he
asked him, Have you received the Holy Ghost, since you believed? You have to Prioritize the ministry
of the Holy Ghost this year 2023 like you never did in your life before. My brothers and sisters, the Holy
Spirit made you. You have to understand He created you. Go to Job chapter 33 verse four. Read, read
it out, one two go. Yes, he's the one who made you. He made you. I can show you several verses in
the scriptures. You'll discover here's the maker. In the Godhead, talking about Father, Son and the Holy
Spirit, He is the one he's the performer. He's the performer. He's the one that actually fashioned you.
And the Bible says his delight was with the sons of men. In other words, he always wanted to live with
us. He always took delight in us. And the father fulfilled his dream. When he gave him to us, to live in
us. Did you know you're so important to the Holy Spirit? You're so important to the Holy Spirit this year,
prioritize the Holy Spirit in his ministry in your life. Many have received the Holy Spirit but they ignore
him. He is not part of their day. He is not part of their considerations. They act like he doesn't live. They
act like He's a mere experience, but he's more than an experience. But this year, make that decision.

-5-
The Holy Spirit is going to be more than an experience to you. He's a person and every Christian every
one who has received the Holy Spirit, most now recognize him and fellowship with Him.

28:51
He wants to talk to you all the time. He wants to teach you He wants to show you the way of the
kingdom!

29:04
Let me show you something He's going to do for you.

29:07
Go to the book of Proverbs. Did you know He is wisdom? Let me show you from verse 20. He is
wisdom He is the wisdom of God. Go to verse 20 Proverbs chapter eight, wisdom no, no, chapter eight
from verse twenty.

29:29
the voice of God that talks to you. He is the voice of God that gives you guidance, that gives you
instruction

29:29
He says, I lead in the way of righteousness in the midst of the paths of judgment. Why? That I may
cause those that love me to inherit substance and I will fill their treasures. Did you see that? This is
what he wants to do for you in 2023. Look at it again from verse 20. I lead in the way of righteousness,
in the midst of the paths of judgment, that I may cause those that loved me to inherit substance, and I
will fill their treasures. He is

30:21
that tells you where to go, what to say what to write. He wants to lead you to inherit substance. If you
will let him this world with it's fake poverty.

30:47
This world with manmade poverty because poverty in the world is not natural, it is manmade.

30:55
You will never be a victim of manmade poverty. If you listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit.

31:05
If you let Him guide you, He says, I lead in the way of righteousness that I may cause those that loved
me to inherit substance and I will fill their treasures.

31:19
Think what he will do for you. In 2023, if you listen to Him, Listen to Him. Say I will listen to him. I will
listen to him. Yes, but if you have not received the Holy Spirit, you've got to receive Him into your life.
You have to first receive him. First is to be born again to receive Christ into your heart. Second, receive

-6-
the Holy Spirit to live in you. And he tells us to constantly be filled with the Holy Ghost. Oh boy. It's
wonderful. So number one is, Prioritizing the Ministry of the Holy Spirit. Alright, number two, Prioritizing
the Word of God, the Word, the Word of God. Look at Colossians chapter three, and verse sixteen.
Look what he says, Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom. Did you see that? Let the
word of Christ dwell in you richly. Not in small amounts. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. Have
the word in you abundantly. You got to study it, you got to have it in your heart. meditate on the word,
give attention to it. Say, this year, I will give attention to the word of God like never before. Now, you
know, you want to see God do something that He's never done in your life. You should be ready to do
something that you have never done before, alright, and you'd be amazed. You'd be amazed. And
number three What's number one tell me? Prioritizing what? Great. And number two is what? The word
and number three, the name you're going to learn to use the name. See, most of us have used the
name of Jesus for situations certain situations. We think it's something that we do when we are really in
some dire need. When something is serious, that's when we need to call the name of Jesus.

33:55
But if you live your life like that, progress will be slow. Changes will be slow. You want to see your life
grow fast, quickly, and bigly then you have to do it as the Word says.

34:22
You got to do it as the Word says. What does it say? I'll show it to you Colossians chapter three verse
seventeen.

34:34
What does it say? Read for me, one, two go. Whatsoever No, no I gotta hear you read it one two go.

34:54
That's remarkable. Look at it and whatsoever not some things Not sometimes, Whatsoever ye do in
word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus. You'll be amazed at the changes that will take
place. You'll be amazed. You'd be amazed at the results, Whatsoever ye do in word, or in deed, do all
in the name of the Lord Jesus. And this is why I teach about the Lord Jesus, because many just call
him Jesus.

35:35
They don't know him. They just sayJesus. Not when you talk about him, it's different from when you talk
to him.

35:45
When you talk to him, say, Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus, not Oh, Jesus, oh, Jesus, you don't know him. After
his resurrection, nobody called him Jesus. They said, Lord, they all called him Lord. Like I said, talking
about him is different. Like, I'm talking about him, and I say, I'm talking about Jesus. Yes. But when you
talk to him, you've got to call him Lord, Lord Jesus, when you talk to him, and when you sing of him, call
him Lord, respond correctly to him, address him correctly. You will be amazed at the results. You'll be
surprised.

-7-
36:41
You'd be surprised, you say does that matter? Oh! If you ever, do you know who we're talking about?
He's your Creator. He created you. Oh! You say, I thought you said the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost
made you. Jesus created you.

37:09
There's a difference. I will use another another day to discuss that. But if you study from the book of
Genesis, he distinguishes clearly between the created man and the man that was formed. See, your
spirit was created by God. Your body was formed from the dust of the ground. So the outward man was
framed into shape. That's the work of the Holy Ghost. But your spirit was created by the word, the
spoken word.

37:56
When he spoke, you came into being but you needed to be formed into shape. That was the work of
the Holy Ghost. You still out there? Okay. So when you talk of him, remember who he is. When you
pray to Him, address him as Lord, Whatsoever

38:24
you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by
him. Blessed be the Lord. You want to thank him right now?Thank him right now.

38:41
This is your year. This is your year. This is your year, this is your year. I am going to be so prolific in
2023. I'm going to be prolific in every way in 2023. Can I pray for you today

39:22
[Pastor Chris speaks in tongues]. I pray for you, wherever you are in this great world today. [Pastor
Chris speaks in tongues]

39:57
I pray

40:01
That this grace

40:03
that's been poured out. So lavishly

40:08
overflow through your life this year 2023. And it shall be for you even as has been spoken concerning
the prolific church.

40:29
You will be prolific.

-8-
40:34
Everything about you will grow exceedingly

40:42
By the power of the Holy Ghost.

40:47
And anyone who comes in contact with you will know that this is one that the Lord has blessed.

40:57
The signs of His glory will be made manifest in your life.

41:07
This grace shall guide and overshadow you. The power of the Holy Spirit shall be manifested in your
life. And this Holy Spirit

41:24
will lead you in His righteousness and cause you to inherit substance.

41:32
And that which belongs to you in Christ Jesus as the seed of Abraham,

41:43
shall be gathered unto you.

41:47
In the name of the Lord Jesus. The resources for everything that the Lord has called you to do, shall be
guided to you. In the name of the Lord Jesus, for the angels of the Lord shall go to work.

42:06
and make happen for you. That which has been decreed concerning you.

42:12
In the name of the Lord Jesus.

42:15
This year 2023

42:19
You will walk in health in the name of the Lord Jesus. From the crown of your head to the soles of your
feet, no sickness or disease shall find its way through your body [Pastor Chris speaks in tongues]. He
said in blessing I will bless you. In multiplying I will multiply you. [Pastor Chris speaks in tongues].

-9-
43:19
He said the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. Therefore that goodness is channeled towards you
in the name of Jesus Christ.

43:31
In your going out and in your coming in,

43:35
you will walk and function in His goodness.

43:37
[Pastor Chris speaks in tongues]. The Lord has made you a dispenser of His righteousness and His
peace.

44:09
Therefore in His righteousness and in peace

44:15
shall your increase be. Thank you Spirit of the Living God.

44:26
My brothers and sisters in Christ, there is an increased Grace throughout the world. For God's people
around the world, there is an increase Grace. Everything concerning you, there is an increased Grace.
Thank you Lord.
