Can I tell you this? Behind every glory you see, there is a story. I can keep you all day telling you the battles that were fought to be here.
Make no mistakes about it. Sometimes the palace can take away the wounds and you'll be mistaken to think there are no scars. You know why scars remain?
It reminds you that you fought. [music] When you get to heaven today, one of the ways you will know Jesus is not just by the royal crown. There is only one man who has his car on his hand.
It's a testament of fighting for the victory of mankind. Don't be ashamed of your wounds. Don't be ashamed of your scars.
Fight. [music] Can I tell you the scars that look like a basis for shame today will be the reason why you will be honored tomorrow. There are certain seats when you get to the table of greatness.
It is only for those who have scars. If you are too innocent, you will stay outside. Listen to my message.
Lessons from an overcomer. The Bible says, "To him that overcomes, he will be given a crown and a white stone. To him that overcomes.
To the mother that overcomes. To the father that overcomes. To the single mom that overcomes.
to the preacher that overcomes. You have a strategy to compromise and find it easy, but you decided to stand alone. To the politician that overcomes, to the intercessor that overcomes.
Now, let me show you some strategies. Please sit. I intended for my message to be as simple as possible tonight.
I hope it still is. strategies for challenging times. If you don't have any battle before you now, don't be flattered.
Life is still joking with you. Keep rising, keep shining, keep growing, keep living long. Can I tell you, don't claim long life if you don't know how to fight.
Don't desire longevity if you don't know how to fight. I'll give you four keys. If you're ready, shout, "I'm ready.
" >> I'm ready. >> Number one, the first scriptural strategy for surviving challenging times. Are you ready?
>> When challenges mount up before you, it doesn't matter whether it comes as confrontations, from systems, from structures, from demons, from men, your health, doesn't matter. First key, be strong in the Lord. >> Be strong [music] in the Lord.
Write that down. Ephesians chapter 6 and verse 10. I wish that we read this from amplified.
Otherwise, that's fine. We walk with KJV. Be strong in the Lord.
The Bible says in conclusion, be strong in the Lord. Watch this. Be empowered through your union with him.
It says, draw your strength from him. that strength which his boundless might provides. Be strong.
Be strong. Ah, be strong. Be strong in the Lord in the name of Jesus.
When challenges stand before you, you must learn to draw strength. The word be strong means draw strength. That immediately suggests that if you do not have a functional relationship with the Holy Ghost because he's the spirit of power.
Are we together? The Bible says if you turn aside in the day of battle, talk to me believers. It is because your strength is.
How do you grow strength in the spirit? By pressing to have a functional knowledge of God. Daniel 11:32 the B part says, "But [music] the people that do know," that means know indeed, not a theoretical knowledge, not a religious knowledge.
Are we together? Not an intellectual knowledge. The people that do know their God, the Bible says the gift, the reward they receive for pressing to know God is that they will be strong.
As mysterious as God is, ladies and gentlemen, I want you to know that God can be known. He wants to be known. John 17 and:3, this is life eternal that they may know thee, the only true God.
Are we together? And Jesus whom thou has sent, God can be known. You may want to listen to my message.
Let me refer you to it. The knowledge of the holy. Write that down, please.
The knowledge of the holy. Go to Coonia Global YouTube and listen to it. Particularly if you're a man of God.
These are some of the asenels you will need in this end times. God can be known. Hallelujah.
God can be known. Yes, sir. You can know him.
The Bible says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. You can know God from a theological standpoint. There are three ways to know God.
Number one, you know God by learning his character. The Lord is gracious and compassionate. The Bible says he's slow to anger.
He's rich in love. In my opinion, the richest capture of the character of God as revealed in the Bible is found in Psalm 103. 103.
You may want to read from start to finish. It provides in my study of scripture and I've studied the Bible a bit. When you study the Bible, there is no other portion of scripture I am aware of that has the richest compendium, the richest capture of God's character on display in one chapter of the Bible.
Psalm 103. Are we together? So, we know God by learning his character.
And number two, we know God by learning his ways, his principles, his modus operandi. You can study the ways of God to know God. Number three, we know God by studying his power.
You can study the dynamics of his power. Ephesians chapter 1 from verse 19. Paul began to pray from verse 16 that the eyes of our understanding be enlightened, flooded with light.
Amplified says that we may know the hope of his calling and so on and so forth. Then when we get to verse 19, he prays Ephesians 1:19 that we may know the exceeding greatness of his power to us what who believe the exceeding greatness of his power. Something happens to you when you know how powerful God is.
I have spoken once and twice have we heard that power belongs to God. When you come into an experiential understanding of how powerful God is, it plans faith. Bible faith is derived from your encounter.
Is someone learning that by you I can run through a troop and by my God I can leap over a wall. Psalm 66:3 say unto God, how terrible art thou in thy works. It says, "It is through the greatness of your power [music] that your enemies will submit themselves to you.
" Is someone learning? He's a God of power. He is.
He is. Miriam wrote a song attesting to his power. And she said, "I will sing unto the Lord for he has triumphed gloriously.
" He said the horses and its rider have been thrown into the sea. The God of power, the God of grace. So when you know God by learning his character, it can empower you to judge prophecies.
Someone can speak to you and you know that this prophetic word is inconsistent. If you come to me and say I will die tomorrow, I will ask you is there hope? If you say no, I will say God bless you.
Get out of my way. There's something about the character of God that fights that prophecy because I know from his character that the Lord is gracious and compassionate. Number two, that to him that is joined to the living, there is still hope.
It's impossible to receive a word and a verdict. [music] Even if you are Hezekiah, there is still hope. Are we together?
So the knowledge of God's character can help you to judge prophecy. It's true. the knowledge of his ways.
Moses cried and said, "Show me your ways. " Then he said, "Show me your glory. " His glory is trapped in his ways.
It's called the ancient part. Jeremiah 6:16. That you stand in the way.
And that ancient part, are we together? And that you ask for it. When you find it, you walk in that path and you will find rest.
You will come into your Sabbath in experience. You can know God by studying the mysteries of the kingdom. Matthew 13:11, "It has been given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.
" Hallelujah. He showed his ways to Moses. The Bible says, "But to the nation of Israel, they saw his act.
" If we're still together, say, "Amen. " >> Amen. >> Hallelujah.
So, you draw, I'm giving you the first key, scriptural strategies for challenging times. Number one, be strong in the Lord. And that strength comes as a direct product of a functional relationship with Jesus Christ, a functional relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Recall I told you that there are four major encounters that a believer must have. Remember sound of revival. Number one, an encounter with Jesus, the son of the living God.
Number two, an encounter with the person and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. You need both. It's important.
The Holy Spirit is called a paraclet from the Greek word paracleus. Allos paracleus. Another one who is sent or a similar one to stand.
The word alos means of a similar content of a similar material, an extension of the same. So he's a paraclet of the father. He's the strengthener.
He's the standby. He's the comforter. Are we together?
He's the teacher. He's the guide. He comes to the believer.
He is God's gift to the believer. The Holy Spirit is what the Bible calls the blessing. The blessing is not just cars and houses.
No, the blessing of Abraham talks of justification by faith. Then it gives you access to the promise of the spirit. And that's what the Bible calls the blessing.
The blessing, the blessing, the Holy Spirit can strengthen a mortal man to manifest god-like possibilities, you must learn to draw your strength from him. The Bible says, "He that is joined to Christ is one spirit. " Look up, please.
You want to build a functional relationship with Jesus, I give you three keys. Still on point one, but I'm digressing to add flesh to your understanding. Number one, you must develop a systemic prayer life.
A systemic consistent prayer life to the one who desires a functional relationship with God. Prayer cannot be circumstantial. Prayer cannot be conditional.
If your prayer life is epileptic, so will go your destiny. You're up today, you're down tomorrow. Are we together?
You must commit yourself to a systemic prayer life. In the Bible, they call a certain hour the hour of prayer. You must through discipline.
There is no gift of prayer. It's a product of discipline. Are we together now?
Yes. There is a spirit of prayer. Are we together?
But you must take advantage of that enabling grace and submit yourself to prayer. Acts chapter 6 and verse4. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.
Notice the order. to prayer first, then the ministry of the word. Hallelujah.
You'll never enjoy a rich relationship with the Holy Ghost if you're not given to prayer. You must invest time. America, give God time.
Believers, give God time. Now, I appreciate the fact that we live in a world and and economic context where you have to make ends meet. I understand.
I'm not insensitive to your needs, but let me charge you and speaking from America to the nations of the earth. God is calling believers to give him time. Give him time.
There are many things we seek that can only be found in his presence because a man can receive nothing truly except and unless it is given to him from above. Is that true? The blessings that come from one encounter in the place of prayer can redefine your next decade, can redefine the next 20 years of your life.
It is true. Hallelujah. You can draw favor from the place of prayer.
You can draw wisdom from the place of prayer and that will already rewrite the narrative of your destiny. Prayer is not a burden. And when I talk of prayer, I'm not talking of the religiosity of prayer.
The scribes and the Pharisees were prayerful, but their prayer did not produce power because behind their prayer life was a desire to show people they were spiritual. No, I'm not talking of this this falsehood around the prayer ministry. I'm talking of a dogged determination to build a functional relationship that is provable.
Provable. Provable. Now you can say you know me but it's up to me to reply back and say it's true I know you.
Am I right on that? So many people can say I know God but it's one thing for God to say I know you too. I know you.
There is a coonia that happens a participation a sharing together. We are not strangers to one another. Is someone learning?
You want to be strong in the Lord, you must be given to the ministry of prayer. Number two, you want to be strong in the Lord, you must submit to the truths of scripture. You must submit to the truths of scripture.
Don't just open up your Bible and read it religiously. Believe the things that are written there. Hallelujah.
Praise the name of the Lord. Now you must grow in the knowledge of God. If you don't submit to growing in the knowledge of God through a consistent systemic study of scripture, you cannot be strong in the Lord.
But the people that do know their God, they shall be strong. Someone say, I receive strength. >> I receive strength.
>> Say, I will be strong. I will be strong in the midst of storms. I will be strong.
Hallelujah. So the second strategy very quickly so that we can pray. I hope you are learning so far.
>> The second strategy, are you ready? Walk and live by the principles of the word of God. Walk and live by the principles of the word of God.
Walk and live by the principles of the word of God. In other words, live by the word. Don't just hear the word.
Don't just study the word. Literally, let the word of God be the governing principle around your life. Walk and live by the principles of the word of God.
Matthew chapter 4 and verse4 Jesus is speaking his response to Satan. Man shall not live by bread alone. You know what bread means in this context?
It means that which is of earthly origin. Man shall not live by skill alone. Man shall not live by your certificate alone.
Man shall not live by your human efforts alone but by every word that proceedth out of the mouth of God. I'll show you another scripture very quickly. Psalm 89.
Give us from verse 34 and verse 35. Psalm 89:34 and 39. Dave soon will sing the song Spirit Lead Me.
So just prepare. I just sense in my heart that you'll just sing that song once, twice, and then um it will be a word of encouragement for someone. My covenant, believers, are we still together?
My covenant will I not break. This is God speaking, "Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. " 35 It says, "Once have I sworn in my holiness that I will not lie unto Joshua Selman.
" That means if he told you he will lift you, he will lift you. If he told you you will come out, then you will come out. Now it's up to you to believe.
I have taught you that when God says it, it doesn't automatically mean it will come to pass. He will not force his word on you. Else you will become a demon.
He gave you the power to choose. Setting before you life and death, blessing and cursing. You are going to have to walk in partnership with him.
You know what amen means? Amen should not originally really amen should not just be something you chant in church. Amen is actually a lifestyle of alignment to the speakings of God.
So you can verbalize amen and not manifest amen. Amen is beyond saying it. Amen is a capture of your willingness to align with the speakings of God.
So an individual may not verbalize amen yet in his life it is amen. Are we together now? And someone can shout amen but walk in perpetual disalignment.
So next time you say amen, know that your verbalizing it is just one part. You have to be determined to take advantage of his grace to be on the Lord's side. I preached a message like that and it's worth listening to if you care who is on the Lord's side.
It's a powerful message you want to listen to. Are we together? My covenant will I not break nor alter the thing that is gone forth from my mouth.
Ladies and gentlemen, there are a plethora of promises, a plethora of promises that have been proposed by God to the believer. You find that in second Peter chapter 1, particularly verse four. Verse three says, "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you.
" Are we together? Through the knowledge of Jesus, you know, and and all of that. And then verse three says, "According as his power, as his divine power had given us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, but that this comes through the knowledge of him that has called us into glory and virtue.
" If you care, shout verse four with me. Ready? 1 2 go.
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious that by these promises we might be partakers of his divine nature. haven't escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. Are we Bible students?
You see that? So the Bible says we have been given exceeding great and precious promises. Again, that's a name of one sermon you want to listen to to exceeding great and precious promises.
It's important for you to know what God has said about you. And in case you've forgotten, let me remind you for a moment. He said you are the head and not the tail.
The question is do you believe it? He says you are above only only and never beneath. He said a thousand shall fall by your side and 10,000 shall fall by your right side but none shall hurt you with your eyes shall you see and the reward of the wicked.
It's true. He said the works of your hands are blessed. Did he not say you will be exalted above all the nations of the earth and that this blessing will come upon you and overtake you?
He said he will lose the loins of kings for your sake that they who desire to eat your flesh, they will stumble and they will fall. Is written in the Bible, they are called exceeding great and precious promises. Did he not say the fullness of your days you will fulfill?
Am I right on that? That they that be planted in the house of God, they will flourish in the courts of our God. that even in old age they will be fat and they will be flourishing.
My Bible says the path of the just, sorry to correct you, the path of Joshua Selman shall is as a shining light that shineth brighter and brighter more and more unto the perfect day. That's what the Bible says. It is true.
It is true. The Bible says I will be called Bulah and Heba. Is that true?
that the nations will call you blessed. Say I'm blessed. Don't mind the devil.
Say I'm blessed. Don't mind social media. Say I'm blessed.
It's true. That's what he said. He said though my beginning be small that my latter end shall greatly increase.
Is it not written in your Bible that the Lord will increase you more and more? You and your children. You and your children.
Come on now. you and your children. He told Abraham that through you, in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
I was not there, but thanks to Paul, he said in Galatians 3:29, if ye be Christ, then are ye Abraham's seed [music] and hes according to the promise. And so that's where I come in. Like Abraham, I can shout, the world will be blessed through me.
I'm not a curse. I'm not a liability to my generation. I am a blessing.
Say I'm a blessing. You already said you are blessed. Now say I am a blessing.
Convincingly say I am a blessing. Hallelujah. Exceeding great and precious promises.
Now let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, please sit for a moment. Sit for a moment. Do you know what it means to walk by faith?
To walk by faith does not just mean to walk by confessing scripture. It means to be committed to literally run your life using this software, this fuel called the word of God. Like a car depends on gas.
Are we together? There's no car that does not depend on anything. If it's not gas, it's electricity.
You recharge it. Am I right? Yes.
Every car depends on something to energize it, to power it, to run. So to live by faith does not just mean to confess the word of God. That's wonderful.
But it means number one that you must have a determination in your heart that the word of God will be exalted above feelings, above thoughts, that it must become absolute. Listen, the word of God must gain supremacy above every other thought, above every other opinion. That means it does not matter what I feel, whatever the word of God says, I run my life by that software.
Are we together? Because you see the power of God only, please listen, the power of God is managed by the will of God. So the you don't make the power of God do just anything you want it to do.
The power of God is not a spiritual mechanism for fulfilling any lusts. No, the power of God only goes the direction of the will of God. So there are many people who believe they are walking by faith.
The object of their expectation is already outside of the will of God. So it doesn't matter what confession they make, it will not come to pass because it is inconsistent with the will of God. Bible faith begins when the will of God is known.
And there are two ways in fact three ways to know the will of God. Number one, scripture. The word of God as written.
It's a compendium of the will of God. Number two, the unique ministry of the Holy Spirit to you as a revealer of the mind of God. Number three, the prophetic.
These are the three channels based on scripture for discerning and accessing the will of God. I repeat again for your learning. Number one, the written word of God is the first and principal basis for extracting the will of God as far as your life is concerned.
Number two, the unique ministry of the Holy Spirit as the revealer of the will of God. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians from verse 8, you read downwards. It says the Holy Spirit can search the mind of the father and to reveal to us the things that are freely given and then the ministry of the prophetic.
Hallelujah. America Coonia Global of Christ live by the word of God. By the mercies of God, I can tell you the reason why we are able to do this much for the kingdom.
It is because we carried our frail lives incapacitated by every definition and we handed that life and covered it with the word of God. And look what he's made out of us. It pays to submit to the word of God.
Little you plus the word of God is called a giant. Frail you plus the word of God will be called a giant. Hallelujah.
Not that we are sufficient in ourselves. The Bible says but that our sufficiency is of God who has made us abled ministers. When you find ordinary people doing much for the kingdom, you know, I was meditating uh really this morning and I was just overwhelmed by the goodness of God over my life and then I had a little clip the picture of what happened here in this auditorium and I was just reminiscing.
Now I've seen many of these things and you would think that after seeing stadiums and seeing auditoriums packed I would get so familiar. I was just overwhelmed by the goodness and the kindness of God. And you know what happened?
I remembered again those days in my vision little me not known me. Are we together? And yet he proposed to me that if I believed him he would take me to the nations to serve his grace.
God for you. Hallelujah. Is someone learning?
Never conclude on a man who respects the word of God. You're making a mistake. When you find a man, God, I don't care how frail.
I don't care how weak. I don't care how failed that man is. Provided you decide to exalt the word of God above and beyond anything, you can start and you can emerge in the name of Jesus.
So in addition to being strong, you must make a commitment. Ladies and gentlemen, hear me. Life begins when you respect the word of God.
>> Hallelujah. And let me tell you how to walk it. I'll tell you how to live by the word of God.
Number one, run your life by scriptures. Before you execute any goal, any desire, any whatever, find scriptures that support what you are doing and then investigate whether or not your goals are consistent with the will of God. Cuz you see, the Bible is a prophetic book.
You can make it speak any language you want it to speak. You can manipulate the Bible to respond to your lust. So it's not enough that you find a scripture.
You must investigate using these three channels. Scripture itself, the ministry of the Holy Ghost and of course the ministry of the prophetic. Verify whether what you are embarking on is the will of God.
I give you an example. Talk to me believers. How many of you believe it is God's will to establish you?
How many of you believe you will be a better Christian if you own your home? How many of you believe that if God empowers you, he'll give you room to serve his purposes? How many of you believe fruitfulness is the will of God?
How many of you believe length of days is the will of God? How many of you believe a responsible, prosperous, godly home according to Psalm 112 is the will of God? How many of you believe healing and health is the will of God?
How many of you believe that the territorial influence of the church is the will of God? How many of you believe that salvation is the will of God? How many of you believe that attaining unto spiritual maturity for the believer is the will of God?
How many of you believe America for Jesus is the will of God? Nigeria for Jesus is the will of God. Ghana for Jesus the will of God.
Jamaica for Jesus the will of God. China for Jesus the will of God. Iraq for Jesus the will of God.
I ran for Jesus, the will of God, until the knowledge of the glory of the Lord covers the whole earth [clears throat] as water as the sea. Now listen, I'm teaching you how to live by the word of God. You don't cook up opinions that come from your lust and then just sandwich it with the word of God and try to manipulate the hand of God to bring it to pass.
The believer does not live that way. It's important you are aware of the promises of God. That's where your confidence comes from.
When you know you are in the will of God, here's how the Bible puts it. And this is the confidence that we have. That if we ask anything that is in accordance to his will, man of God, is it the will of God for you to use your church as a soul-winning platform?
I answer you without prophesying. Yes. Yes.
Yes. H so if you are not aware of the will of God, you cannot live by the word of God. Hallelujah.
Most times people resort to the word of God as a last and final opinion after exhausting their intellect, exhausting all kinds of options forever. Oh Lord, the Bible says your word is settled in heaven. Are we together?
Heaven and earth will pass away. But it says not one jot of his word will fail. The word of God is believable.
You can trust the word of God. You can run your life by the word of God. Let the word of God be the constitution that governs your life.
Let it be your modus operandi. Are we together? That any other way and any other path that is outside of or inconsistent with the word of God, you must be determined to shove it away peacefully and live by the word.
Now, I tell you this, for a while, the word of God may not seem to produce. Be patient. But it will certainly produce.
The Bible says he shall be like a tree that is planted by the riverside which yield its fruit in season. May not be every day but it will yield its fruit in season whose leaf does not wither and whatsoever he doeth prospers. If you are learning, say amen.
>> Amen. >> Scriptural strategies for challenging times. So America, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Zambia, everywhere across the globe, Europe, China, the Caribbeans, listening to me, I'm encouraging you that when you face challenging times, number one, be strong in the Lord.
Drw your strength from the richness of your union with the Holy Spirit through prayer. Are we together? And then be determined to live by the word.
Let your speakings be consistent with scripture. Don't speak like a non-believer. Are we together?
It doesn't mean to not face reality. Are we together? But to learn to superimpose.
Remember, I've taught you that the words that you speak, the Bible says in John 6:63, the words that I speak onto you, they are spirit. You know what that means? The word spirit there is the word numa.
It doesn't just mean a spooky. It means energy that it produces energy. There is a frequency.
Really, this is not some Scientology. It's the truth. The word of God carries energy, creative power.
The words that I speak unto you. They are spirit and they are life. Spirit and life.
He's a talking spirit. And like him, you must also be a spirit that speaks. God is not a noise making spirit, but he's a talking spirit.
He speaks life. Rambling around does not make you a talking spirit. You will be a talkative, yes, but not a talking spirit.
A talking spirit is one who does not waste words. He uses words to create and recreate possibilities. You wake up in the morning, here's what you say, teaching you how to live by the word of God.
This is the day that the Lord has made. I rejoice and I am glad in it. And while you are at that, some nasty email comes in the name of Jesus.
I do not look at the things that are seen, but the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are temporal, but the things that are unseen are permanent. On your way out, the devil uses someone to say some nasty thing in the name of Jesus.
I choose to be peaceful. I reject offense. I am a child of God.
I purify my heart and my conscience. The joy of the Lord is my strength always. Who is learning?
Hallelujah. Whilst you're taking your shower, instead of complaining, grumbling and thinking about nonsense, you are prophesying, creating things even in the bathroom. In the name of Jesus, as I step out today, favor follows me.
The Bible says so. He gives me daily my benefits. I'm prepared to receive that of today.
Give me my daily bread, that which is needed for my sufficiency. In the name of Jesus, I call forth helpers of my destiny. They that have been touched by the hand of God, they position themselves strategically across the corridors of my destiny, showing me favor, granting me unusual access, granting me unusual acceptance.
They become enhancers to my becoming in the name of Jesus. I am not without help. I will call on one and a nation will respond to me.
This is the believer living by the word of God. This is not a Sunday to Sunday pretentious thing that you run your life by this software who is learning tonight. You get to your doctor and he gives you an honest report and tells you something that is inconsistent with the word of God.
Now don't insult him. It's not his fault. He's doing his professional duty and you receive it.
You thank him like Hezekiah. You turn your face to the wall. The wall may mean your way back home and say in the name of Jesus, death and life is in the power of my tongue.
I choose to leave. Death, not now, not soon, not even later. In the name of Jesus, I leave.
I leave. I leave. You're flying in the air and you speak.
The devil begins to suggest. Hope you told your loved ones goodbye. You say, "In the name of Jesus Christ, the prince of the power of the air, you have no way here.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I send the word and I decree and declare I will arrive safely because he is alpha omega. He began that journey with me. I will land well in the name of Jesus Christ.
I hope you are not just clapping. Do you believe what you're hearing? Live like this and watch your life change.
Apostle, I don't know what to do. I'm I'm in confusion right now. Let me tell you what to do.
begin to speak that the wisdom of God is at work in me. The spirit of wisdom has unrestrained access to my mind. I may not as at yet know what to do, but in the name of Jesus, I engage the ministry of the only wise God.
And I declare by his spirit that wisdom will distill itself from the heart of the father to my consciousness. I may not as at yet know what to do, but I'm not without a strategy. I tap into the hidden wisdom of God.
A message for you to listen to again in the name of Jesus. I am not without help. Someone say, "I receive wisdom.
" Shout it like you need it. I receive wisdom. Let a businessman shout it like you need it.
Say, "I receive wisdom. " Say, "I receive strategies. I receive wisdom.
I receive strategies. " Classify it for my victory. Again, say I receive wisdom.
Turn it to prayer in one minute. I receive wisdom for the times. Wisdom for my job.
Wisdom for my home. In the name of Jesus is the [music] hidden wisdom of God. Someone pray.
Clap your hands in one minute and pray like you are serious. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, [music] I receive wisdom by the power of the Holy Ghost. I receive wisdom in the name of [music] Jesus.
I receive wisdom by the power of the Holy Ghost in Jesus name. Please you be seated. Be seated.
Hallelujah. When men say there is a casting down, don't criticize them. Don't hate on people.
Now that's a disclaimer cuz sometimes believers in a bit to demonstrate what they call faith. They become a nuisance to society. Don't go around the street harassing people and insulting them.
Everyone is entitled to his speakings. If you don't like what they say, intercede for them. And if you have the chance, you can talk to them in love.
Don't go around slapping the faces of people with words and hating on them. Now you are not a Christian. You are a nuisance if you do that.
[music] Is someone learning? But hold fast your profession of faith. Hold it fast.
Like a captain, an experienced, determined captain holding to the rudder of a ship and navigating through the tides at sea until he gets he arrives safely. That's how you run your life. I believe this Dave, are you ready?
Spirit lead me. And then now listen to this. I want him to minister to you in one minute.
Colonial Global, you listen very quickly and then I'll give you the third and the fourth and then we're done tonight. Who is learning so far? Your only thank you.
Listen, your only thank you to me [music] is your transformation. That the next time we come here, we will meet mighty men, men and women who live by the word of God as pastors, as businessmen. Praise the name of the Lord.
Right? So go ahead. Heat.
Heat. Heat. [music and singing] [music and singing] Yeah.
[music] Heat. [music] [singing] [music] >> [singing] >> You take me deep [music] within my [music] faith will keep me stronger in the presence of my savior. [singing] Hallelujah.
Whilst you're standing in one minute before you sit [music] without shouting without yelling in one minute I'd like you to just see the Holy Spirit resting giving you [music] wisdom leading you showing you a way out. [music] There had no temptation that has befallen man except that which is similar that has come upon all men. and that with every temptation, God will make for you a way of escape so that you are not overwhelmed by it.
[music] One minute, I'd like you to see yourself coming out of that financial challenge. See God fixing your home again. See God fixing your son again, fixing your life again.
See the prodigal son coming back home again, the prodigal daughter coming back home again. see yourself emerging triumphant [music] after years, maybe decades of battles and fighting. [music] That's the victorious believer.
Imagine that's the victorious mother. Imagine [music] that's the victorious businessman. Imagine that's the woman who's been without child.
The one who's been called now a joyful mother of children. That's the man who's been without job. but by the favor of God.
Now, rejoicing in plenty, [music] it is the Lord's doing. And if it is the Lord's doing, then it must sooner or later be marvelous in our eyes. And keeping that vision cast before you, I prophesy over you that everything you have seen through the eyes of faith, with the eyes of faith, sooner than expected, may it become your testimony.
May it manifest before you. Some of you [music] to your shock and your surprise to your amazement may it manifest in the name of Jesus. Perhaps for someone with strong faith this week beginning in the name of Jesus let it be the week that fulfills every prophetic word that's been spoken from January until now.
You receive that. Shout amen. Shout amen again.
Shout amen one last time. Please be gloriously seated. family.
As we celebrate Christmas and approach the new year, one of the most valuable gifts that we can give [music] and receive is time with family. Not just being in the same room, not just scrolling on your phone while dinner is [music] served, but truly engaging, connecting, and cherishing each other. You see, family [music] is God's design.
God establish families as a foundation for love, [music] support, and growth. And through family, we learn, we care, we show patience, forgiveness, and understanding. [music] The holiday season is a reminder to honor and cherish the gift of family.
[music] And know that presents over present. It is easy to get caught up in buying gifts, planning [music] parties, and checking off list. But true value is in being present.
Your attention, listening ear, laughter, and shared moments are far more meaningful than anything [music] material. Psalm 127:3 reminds us that children and family are a blessing from the Lord. They are [music] treasures not obligations.
So value presence more than present. Strengthen bonds through quality time. Intentional time with family [music] strengthens relationships.
Sharing meals without distractions. Playing games or enjoying activities [music] together. Discussing life dreams and faith.
Praying and reading scripture [music] together. This moment create memories and deepen love, trust and understanding. [music] And know that spending time with family brings healing and reconciliation.
The season is [music] also a perfect opportunity to heal broken relationships, forgive past hurts, seek [music] reconciliation, build bridges instead of walls, and know that family time can be transformational when [music] hearts are open and love leads. also know that know how to create traditions that matter. [music] Traditions give families identity and a sense of belonging.
Prayer before meals, storytelling about faith [music] and God's goodness, act of service together, celebrating milestones intentionally. You see, traditions rooted in love and faith leave lasting impact [music] on children and generations to come. So share the joy beyond your household.
[music] family is not just those under your roof. Extend care and attention to relatives, neighbors, and friends who may feel alone. [music] Inviting them to meals, celebrations, or simple gathering spreads God's love and expand your family circle.
So, it is [music] not just your family. Make family time a priority, not just seasonal. So, while holidays highlight family, [music] the principles of attention, love, and engagement should continue all year.
A home centered on love, faith, and [music] presence is a home where God's peace dwells. So, it should not just be during the festive season, but an everyday activity. [music] And I want us to declare this aloud.
Lord, help me to cherish and value my family this [music] season. Teach me to love, listen, forgive, and celebrate together. Let our time together bring joy, unity, [music] and your presence into our home.
And so shall it be in Jesus' name. May your family gatherings be filled [music] with laughter, love, and spiritual connection. May God's peace, joy, and blessing flow through every home this season.
[music] May your hearts be united, your bonds strengthened, and your love for one another grow deeper [music] as you celebrate together in Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you so much for staying up to the end of today's sermon.
