Impact Church Kenya

May God give us a revelation of the agape love so we can lead by example as His disciples. Then we will be driven by compassion and offer support and help not because we have so much but because we love so much. And neither because we know so much but because we care so much.

Your life will testify to what living in a place of enlargement means. Where there is no limitation, no boundaries, but increase on every side.

The axe head is a tool for accessing our enlarged place. It must be discovered, recovered, and sharpened to increase our influence.

Out of my distress I called upon the Lord, the Lord answered me and He set me free in a large place. Psalms 118:5 The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "Look now, the place where we live with you is too small for us." 2 Kings 6:1 The beginning of your enlargment starts with you being tired of living in limitation and lack.

We often limit God a lot by putting things on Him that we are supposed to do. It is in running with God's word that we enlarge our capacity. We do what we can and let God do what we cannot do. God is so big and He does great things. However, He only works according to the measure of our faith. God cannot do anything for you that you are not ready to do.

Enlarging your borders

Matthew 7:21-23

Do you know the will of God? Are you doing the will of the Father?

John 4:34- My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to accomplish and completely finish His work.

It is not enough to know God's will, you have to do it and finish it.

Before you pray for God to bring His will on earth, you first have to pray "thy will be done in me as it is in heaven."

What do we mean when we pray "Thy Kingdom come." How do we cause the kingdom of God to come? How do we spread this kingdom and cause it to be felt?

When God gives you the element of blessing your life takes a new turn and you begin to bear fruit.

The first commandment God gave man is to be fruitful and multiply. It was both a commandment and a blessing. God expects us, at all times, to bring nothing else but fruit. In every of His children, there is a capacity to be fruitfull. So we look in on how to be full of fruit.

When we pray ' Thy Kingdom Come,' what exactly are we talking about? How do we steward what God has given us and cause a significant impact in the kingdom? We look into some things that will help us achieve this kingdom agenda.

Life from the womb to the tomb is all about access. And every access is confronted with resistance. To gain access to our gates and doors, we focus our attention on the things we should engage in to learn to fight this war.

Atmospheres can shift , you can live heaven on earth. There are surplus supplies under open heavens.

Everybody in this life needs somebody. However, great relationships do not happen by chance or accident. So, how do we relate to people in our lives? We will draw wisdom from this message to help us navigate the difficulties and challenges of relationships because men are the midwives of destiny fulfillment.

Often we stand in the strength of our gifts, of our churches, of our pastors but the Bible instructs us to be strong in the Lord. To stand behind God. We look at how to get supernatunarly infused by God's power to derive the benefits of His strength.

I want to be an evangelist tomorrow. I want to save 2,000 people. I want to have a building. I want to drive a Prado. You will drive people nuts, that is what you'll do.

God's purposes for us are not devastating however, they include preparation. Let us focus on becoming vessels and equipping ourselves for whatever lies ahead.

In my experience, whenever I have heard the baptism of the Holy Spirit preached, it is more of how to receive the baptism than who the Holy Spirit actually is. It makes me wonder how many of us have the foundational doctrine on this particular topic.

So as we look at the Holy Ghost as the promise of the Father, we get to answer these questions:

1. Who exactly is the Holy Spirit?

2. Who baptizes us with the Holy Spirit?

3. How do you receive the Holy Ghost baptism?

4. Why do we need the baptism of the Holy Spirit?

You are not alone if you like things because there is something in us all that loves things. However, things will always be there. You needed them yesterday, you need them today, and you will still need them tomorrow. Your parents needed them, your children also will need them.

But in life, only one thing is necessary, if you can find God, then you have everything you need. If you can find His presence, seek His kingdom, and be at the center of His will, then everything else will begin to locate you. Whatever you have been running after will start to run after you.

Luke 10:42 "But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

Mary's demonstration of worship was one of the greatest worship experiences. Jesus Christ said for the rest of history, as long as this world remains, what the woman did will be spoken about. Mary was such a God-seeker that she became the first person to see Jesus when He rose from the dead.

I pray that God will help you and me so that we will always be after the one thing, to please Jesus.

Martha once asked Jesus, Lord, is it of no concern to you that my sister has left me to serve alone? While busy serving, Martha's can sometimes become offended by the Mary's. And just like Martha, I used to be angry with people who just came to church and sat and enjoyed the word, but maybe these are the Mary's.

Pst. Andrew Mutana

Harvest is preceded by sowing. No Harvest comes if there is no sowing. Similarly, when the clouds are full they do not have a choice but to pour out rain. So we need to ask ourselves these questions any time that we are not able to receive our harvest:

1. What have I sowed?

2. How am I sowing?

You may be sowing good seeds, but how are you sowing them?

3. What are the hindrances or destroyers of my harvest?

So as we look at these questions in greater depth, we will reap the benefits of our efforts.

Bishop | Charles Cody.

Your will is critical in God's plan for your life. As long as you are willing to do what God called you to do and you stay in the word of God so that it can instruct you, and give you insight, then God will do something special with you. When your obedience to God is locked in place, you begin to experience the next phase of your life.

If you seriously desire what God has for you. If you want to be more than all right. Drop everything and dive deep to get out of that situation.

People want to worship God because it is convenient. But God is calling us to another place. A place of worshiping out of sacrifice because true worship is worship given out of sacrifice.  

Habbakuk 3:17-19 "Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls— 18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation." 

Before anything else, we are worshipers, before I am a preacher I am a worshiper. There is not going to be any preaching in heaven. There is not going to be any praying in Heaven. The only thing we will do in heaven is to behold God's glory and to worship Him.

And so one of the things that we must focus on is to be like Mary when we are in the presence of God, to worship without reservation. Sometimes true worship comes out of pain. The more you have gone through, the deeper your worship is. The more your pain, the greater your worship.

The Journey of salvation is one of following Jesus and hearing His voice. That that which breaks His heart, breaks our hearts, and that we carry His burdens. We go with Him wherever He wants us to go. We begin to live as strangers on earth because the things that other people are motivated and are driven by are not what drives or motivates us.

"These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being first fruits to God and to the Lamb." Revelation 14:4. 

When you follow Jesus, you begin to understand His heart. You begin to know His ways, you begin to desire what He desires and all these things will be added to you. Unless we fix our eyes on Jesus, we will not be sustained. Because life is going to bring all kinds of obstacles, there are going to be challenges. There are going to be betrayals.

Not everybody who came to Jesus stayed with Jesus. Some crowds were following Him because they had seen the miracles. Some people were looking after Him like Judas because they knew they would get something. 

But thank God there was also a Mary who did not care about anything around. She was extravagant on Jesus, she broke the perfume and worshiped. 

Who shall we be? Will we be counted among those who just follow because we want to see miracles, because we want to see what we can get, or shall we be counted as one like Mary? Who says, Lord, I just want to worship you.

May we be seekers of the Kingdom, God's ways, and His true love.

We should all ask ourselves these questions that Paul asked. How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?

God did not call us to be comers, He called us to be goers. We all want to participate in the great commission. But we are not fulfilling it probably because it is uncomfortable. It is not comfortable going out and speaking to a stranger. However, if you are moved with compassion, the compassion will be greater than your fear. It will be greater than your comfort, and your fear of rejection. 

We need to show people we are not just bringing them to a church. People know about churches but they are saying what is so different about you? We have to be practical in showing love and fellowshipping with people. We should show them the love of Jesus Christ and pray for them. 

Further along in the message, we look in-depth at how to effectively evangelize. Below is an outline of what to expect.

Steps to evangelizing:

  1. Establish a relationship with them.

 2. Introduce Jesus.

 3. Lead them to Jesus Christ.

 4. Follow them up.

In case you have never felt a burden for souls, or you do not have the fire for evangelism, by the time you are through listening to this message, the fire to win souls will enter you. And you will have a testimony of having preached to some people.

Once you start going out to evangelize, you will be amazed at how people are hungry for the word of God. The harvest is plenteous. Some people are just waiting for someone to tell them about Jesus. May God use you as a tool to bring healing and salvation to many.

Why is the word so fundamental in this Foundation? Why is it so key? The Bible says in Psalm 138:2, "I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name, For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name." 

In this message, we look at why we need to build on God's word as our foundation. We will further analyze seven things that the word of God does to us.

      1. The word of God has the power to cleanse us: to cleanse our minds and to wash us.                                                                                        

Jesus said in John 15:3, "You are now clean because of the words that I have spoken to you." 

Ephesians 5:25 the Bible says, "Husbands love your wives as Christ loved his church and gave himself for it that he may cleanse it by the washing of water by the word. So that he might sanctify the church having cleansed her by the washing of water by the word."

      2.  The word of God has the power to transform us.

 Romans 12:2 says do not be conformed to the standards of the world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. 

If God has given us His word to transform us, His word will transform us if we are ready.           

Isaiah 55:9 says, "As the rains do not come from the heavens and come to the earth without watering the earth, so is my word that comes out of my mouth it cannot come to me empty but it will fulfill that which I have commissioned it to do."  

     3. The word of God shows us the will of God.                                                          We struggle with the will of God because we do not know the word of God. God's word can direct you in the will of God. There is nothing God is going to do that is outside His word.

Romans 12:2 says, "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may be able to prove what is that good acceptable and perfect will of God." 

      4. The word of God activates faith.             

Romans 10:17 "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God."  

Habakkuk 2:4 The just shall live by faith, my righteous one shall live by faith.

      5. The word of God instructs us in righteousness.

Instruction in righteousness comes from the word of God.

2 Timothy 3:16 the Bible says,  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 

     6. The word of God corrects us. 

The Bible says it is profitable for correction. God wants to do great things in our lives however, He will not do certain things unless He corrects us.

You are going to blossom but before you blossom you have to be pruned. This is what Jesus said in John 15:2  "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." 

So sometimes correction is not even that you are sinning or doing something wrong. God is just saying you are doing so well my son my daughter, so I need to prune you so that you may do even better.

 7. The word of God comforts and strengthens us.

The word of God is a source of comfort and strength. The good thing I love about our God is that even after He has beaten you up, and corrected you, He comforts you. Even when He corrects and instructs us, He does not do it to harm us.

 1 Peter 5:10 "But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you."

Whatever you are going through, as someone said, you are just going through. God is not going to let you die in that wilderness. God is not going to let you get destroyed where you are. He is going to build you.

He will finish what He started, He is faithful to His word. He says the word that I have spoken, I will watch over it to fulfill it. Faithful is He who promised.

God has placed a certain command into the lives and hands of fathers. They are to teach and command their children and their household to keep God's way(psalms 78:1-7). This is a charge to fathers, your responsibility to your children is to show them God; teach them about God. 

You need to have a big expansive heart to embrace people because as you develop in the Lord, He sends you children. And He will send some your way, so begin to expand your heart. 

In this message, we will look at two examples of fathers in the Bible, Abraham, and Eli. 

Genesis 18:19, "For I have known him (he's talking about Abraham) so that he may teach and command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is righteous and just so that the Lord may bring upon Abraham what he has promised." 

God is giving a testimony about His servant Abraham. 

As we read Abraham's story, we conclude that It took a father who had taught his son to trust and obey the Lord to bring that son to a point where he obeys so foolishly. I call it foolish obedience because he laid his life on that altar willingly and said take my life. Abraham's obedience to sacrificing his son, coupled with his son's obedience was what pleased God about him. 

And in 1 Samuel 2:12, we see God's report concerning Eli's sons. He says they were worthless men because they did not know the Lord, they did not respect Him. And as you read on you get to see Eli calling his sons and confronting them about the report he heard concerning them and about what they had done.

 1 Samuel 2:29 "Why do you kick at My sacrifice and My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling place, and honor your sons more than Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?" 

In the above text, we see that Eli placed reputation above everything else. He said I do not like the report but he did not go forward to correct the sons. They should have been kicked out quickly because what they did in the temple was not acceptable. So before God, he was honoring the sons above God.

The first example we saw was of a good father who placed his son on the altar before God and said if I have to kill you for Him, I am going to do that. Eli on the other hand, honored his sons above God and that was the problem.

I urge us to be careful not to place our children, the offspring that God has given us above Him. The offspring, the blessings, and the things God gives us can never take His place. We can not place them above God. We can not create a situation where our children are more important than the Lord, and pay more attention to them. Because, in the long run, we end up neglecting the things of God.

Sometimes as we take care of our business things that matter to us more, we cause the things of God to suffer and eventually perish. In the eyes of God, that is honoring your sons more than Him.

God is so powerful and so great but He predetermined that there is nothing He will do on this earth without using a human being. And the way we permit Him or the way we give Him the license is through prayer.

So how come many of us pray but very few people really pray prayers that can shake the heavens?

What does it take to pray prevailing travailing prayers? What could be hindering us from praying effectively, and from seeing results to our requests?

In this message we will look into the barriers to prayer.

Barriers to prayer:

1. Religious prayers. 
2. Unanswered prayers.
3. Praying in the flesh. 
4.  Praying in a hurry.
5. Praying and stopping at prayer.

This will enable us to move from praying popcorn prayers; prayers that just pop and they are gone to praying prayers that cause a difference and have extraordinary results.

The Blessed One | Minister Annbell Murangi

The Beatitudes. (Matthew 5)

1. Blessed are the poor in spirit because the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them. To be poor in spirit means you are at the point of surrender. Where you say yes God you have given me all this but I have nothing. And every time you wake up, every time you go to the place of prayer or every time you go to church, you are in a state where you want to be filled and fed by the spirit of God.
2. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.                                                                                          Comfort in this context comes when you bear the burden of the one who called you. Whenever you get a burden concerning God's purposes, you will get a reward. If I am thinking about the kingdom, I will be mourning because I would be wondering when will the lost souls come to the Lord.
3. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Meekness is a sign of humility before God. And the greatest sign of humility is obedience. If I could translate it, I could say; blessed are the obedient, for they will inherit the earth. In the place of obedience, you will possess whatever you desire. 
4. Blessed are the ones who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.                                          Obedience itself is righteousness. We ought to hunger for the presence of God and thirst for His word. God told Joshua to meditate on it day at night. The devil fears people who are in the presence of God, not those with titles. That is not the language the devil understands. He understands the language of him that has completely emptied themselves and has been filled with the righteousness of God. The only way we get an identity is when we allow Him to be in us and get fully immersed in His presence.

Pentecost Sunday | Ps Andrew Mutana

The day of Pentecost came first in preparation for the harvest.

My work my ministry | Pst. Paddy Musoke

In 2010 the Lord asked me questions concerning the productivity of Christian professionals in the house of God and out there.

God never asks a question to get your information. He is all-knowing. He will always ask you to attract or draw your attention to something.

So a Christian professional has two things:

1. He has education-acquired knowledge and skills.

2. Heaven has also invested in you - you have salvation, eternal life, and the Holy Spirit.

There is a lot of input investment in a Christian professional. So the question is, how much is the output?

The Christian professional is unproductive for God's kingdom in the workplace. Unfortunately, he is not representing the kingdom of Christ but working to meet his personal needs.

Things changed in Egypt after Joseph got employed in Potiphar's house. The change was also evident to Potiphar thus, he made Joseph prime minister. In God's kingdom work is defined as what you do to make a difference. Joseph was not working to enrich himself. He was working to make a difference and meet the needs of mankind. And in so doing, he brought glory to God.

Daniel never preached any gospel in the workplace, however, Kings bowed down to his God. What matters in our workplace is our work, not our words. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 "Let your lights so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." The Bible does not say let them hear your words, it says let your light shine before men; let them see your works. Action speaks louder than words.

In the workplace, your work is what people are looking for, not just your words. It is not wrong to preach to them nonetheless, before your mouth speaks let your works speak. Let all men see your works. In Babylon, the Kings and everyone saw the works of Daniel and they bowed down before his God.

Christian professionals are a big force in the church however, the church has not yet recognized it. We have recognized all the other ministries for the youth, women, men, and children but have failed to acknowledge this group. Every Sunday they come to our churches but the problem is we recognize their cars, and their money but we have failed to recognize them. As a result, they are not empowered.

Men of God let us know that the nation changers are seated in our churches. Let us not expect transformation to come from elsewhere. To ensure we have a voice, a representative amongst the makers and implementors of laws and policies that run the nation, we need to focus on the Christian professionals. They need empowerment because the laws they make can kill or raise a nation. They can make Kenya shine or take it into darkness.

One woman Esther was intentional about her position. By virtue of her position as a Christian, she brought Deliverance to the whole nation. It is possible for Africa to change. We simply need to be strategic and intentional in equipping Christian professionals.

The Heartbeat of Zion | Pastor Tee Mwangi.

The Lord is now diverting the church to the genuine harvest. So much that the Holy Ghost is releasing the Spirit of harvest because the gospel is what the world needs, not another mega sanctuary.

Jesus said those that leave family and children for the sake of the kingdom and the sake of Christ shall receive a hundredfold in this life not in rapture, in this life.

Oh, this is the secret. We are not talking about anointing when referring to a hundredfold no, it is things like houses. That which you left is what you begin to attract.

The Lord talks about the harvest being plentiful but the workers being few. On the subject of soul winning God does not refer to pastors and volunteers, He refers to workers. And the language of work is wages.

Are you among those that can partner with Zion? Among them that give their life as a seed? The Spirit of harvest has been released, it will come upon you because that is Zion's heartbeat. So lift thy eyes and see the harvest. Begin to win souls there are wages in Zion.

A parable is a parable within a parable, theologians will tell you.

Similarly, the parable of the sower has two interpretations. The first interpretation is God sowing seed as a word, while the other, is God sowing men on different grounds as seed.

God sees you as a seed. He is planting men on different grounds. He knows your capacity; what you carry. You are not just entering into territories for nothing. You are going there to break forth, bear fruit and bring in the harvest. There are men that God has planted on hard grounds, some among stones others among thorns. He expects that we bring in a harvest because Zion does not accommodate excuses.

The Lord needs light bearers. He is attaching your harvest to His harvest. There will be a natural Harvest to facilitate spiritual Harvest.

May the Lord Find You worthy to handle whatever He wants you to handle.

The church has formulated its lingo. Where we know how to do everything. We can jump, shout, clap, fall, and get slain; however, the Lord does not recognize us. We are not His; why? Because whatever we are carrying is not from the womb of the spirit but is of the flesh.

We come to church like a ritual, as if it were just another social event. We expect nothing from it and leave with nothing. Then we ask ourselves why we have no miracles. Nobody is asking neither is anyone hungry.

We need to repent and ask God for forgiveness for digging our own cisterns and trying to manufacture His glory and power. We need to come back to the source. We need to come back to the Fountain. We need to come back to the message. We need to come back to the cross.

We need to ask the Lord not which doctors for the rain. If we ask we will have it. There's never been a time when there is so much need. He says when you ask, He will send showers, not just drops.

Where are the people who are saying God it is not enough? I may have seen some Miracles, I may have had some words of knowledge, I may have prophesied, I may have done some things, I may have seen flashes but now I need showers.

The time of the shallow waters is over. I'm tired of shallow preaching and shallow Worship. I need something different this is why I'm asking.

It is the time for you to ask for rain.

Sadly, we have reduced the working of the Holy Spirit as an emotional experience; some goosebumps, but He does more than that. After listening to this message, I pray that you bear the burden and yearn for more than just an experience.

Ask the Lord for rain; your family needs it, your children need it, our nation needs it, and the world needs it. God said in His word that the knowledge of His glory shall cover the Earth as the waters cover the sea.

Ask God to rend the heavens!

The Tabernacle that David had pitched is what the Bible calls the Tabernacle of David. It is a tabernacle that hosts the presence of God.

2 Samuel 6:14-15

"14 And David danced before the Lord with all his might, and David was girded with a linen ephod.

15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet."

God wants to commune with us, to have fellowship with us. He desires to walk among us so we must create a place for Him. When we believe in God, the Holy Spirit lives in us. We become the temple of the Holy Spirit. We then carry the power of God, the presence of God, and the Holy Spirit. We become God's moving Tabernacle as we host His presence.

Now that we are the temples of God, we carry the power and the glory of God; how does God want us to offer sacrifices?

The Lord wants you to stand as a priest unto God. A priest who is not offering bulls and goats and sheep but offers daily sacrifices of praise and worship to God. Not complaining, not grumbling, not murmuring but praising the Lord. Praising Him in the good and in the bad times like David. (Psalm 34) Bless The Lord At All times. When we do that we are rebuilding the tabernacle.

Before David pitched this tabernacle, he dances and praises. The key to your breakthrough as a child of God is learning to praise and rejoice in God at all times. Your praise is a sacrifice to God. Your praise and your worship is a sweet-smelling sacrifice that causes the presence of God to come down. Psalm 2:3 the Bible says, He is The God Who inhabits the Praises of His people.

David was different from all the other kings because he was able to operate in three anointings; he was a prophet, a priest and he was a king. God used him as a type of what the church would be because the Bible calls us Kings and priests. As priests, we are the ones that are to stand at the altar and initiate communication with Heaven.

God is rebuilding the Tabernacle of David and He's going to use you and me that wherever we are, we pitch the Tabernacle of David Hallelujah! You walk into that house and you lift your praise and create an atmosphere for God to dwell.

No matter your past, your present, or the battles you face, choose to raise a tabernacle of praise. Hallelujah!

Five pillars to build on the Foundation that Christ has already laid:         

1.  The first thing is the word of God.
2. Love. (I'm going to focus more on love and Fellowship.)
3. Evangelism. 
4.  Prayer. 
5.  Holiness. 

Our focus today is on love. Jesus Christ talked so much about love more than anything else. Love is the most important thing. It is the foundation of Christianity. Unfortunately, today in the church we struggle to find it. Moreover, our society has the wrong concept of it.

Many of us think love is what you feel towards somebody, and that's just part of it. However, love is defined by three things: 

1.  It's a commitment 

• You cannot talk about love unless you commit. Marriages today suffer because people jump into it to test if it works. When you tell someone I love you, you mean that, "I am committed to you; I accept you the way you are. No matter what happens, I'm not about to change because I have chosen you among the others." 
• God committed himself to us. We are not the ones who chose Him; He chose us. His love for you is constant. There is nothing you have ever done to earn that love and nothing you'll ever do can stop Him from Loving you. Not even sin can stop Him from loving you.                                           

2. It is what you do 

• it is not what we say but what we do. True love has to be demonstrated by what we do. 

3. It's what you give 

• God loved us that he gave. Love is about giving and not taking. As human beings, we want to take. We get into relationships thinking about what is in it for us. What am I getting out of it? Yet God wants us to give because it is His nature to give. 

It is not easy to love like God unless He helps us. We don't have that ability. We are very selfish as human beings. We want to love ourselves. But if we allow God in our lives, He can teach us to love others.  

True love is so rare on this earth people are looking for genuine love. I believe as we get closer and closer to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, one of the things that God is pouring into His church is genuine and authentic love for one another. People will experience love, feel safe and have a sense of belonging.

The last words of Jesus, " IT IS FINISHED" was not just an expression to mark the end of the long season of suffering. He was not saying "Finally, the Lord is of my head. Let me go". It was not a dying cry of a matter. Some people even think when He said, "It is finished"; He was speaking to man. No, He was not speaking to man neither was He speaking to the people who were around Him. He was addressing God. 

And that is why it is crucial to study the text when you are reading the word of God and find out the background; the meaning behind the meaning.

Here is the meaning of the words " IT IS FINISHED": 

1. The Search is Over/finished { He is the perfect sacrifice} - Christ has redeemed us with precious blood as a lamb without blemish and defect. He's the only lamb without blemish and defect. All the other lambs had defects.
2. Work accomplished - The work Jesus did does not need improvement. (Hebrews 10:11-12)
3. Debt fully paid/settled - As we celebrate Passover, know that your debts are paid. Jesus paid Himself; He paid the debt we could not pay. (Isaiah 6:11)
4. Sentence fully served - It is in your favor, beloved child of God. He served the sentence, paid the debt, gained victory, and perfected the work because He was the perfect sacrifice of God, the Lamb of God who takes away the world's sin.
5. Victory Day - Victory gained. Christ's victory over the evil forces at Calvary was not a secret; it was a public spectacle. (Colossians 2:15) 

Mark 2:22 Because of the quick work God is doing, He is not just giving us the latter rain but also the former rain. He is going to cause the reaper to overtake the sower. If you are ready, God will go faster than you.

God wants to give you the Revival and release the new wine. But He can't put new wine in old wineskins because He will destroy both the wine and the wineskin. God does not want to kill you. Until you have developed the capacity to handle what He wants to release, you will burst when He gives you the new wine. Prepare yourself, get ready! Ascend to the mountain of the Lord and build capacity.

Time is running out. There is urgency in the spiritual realm. God is doing quick work. It is not time to play church/be religious/argue/compete. Even the devil knows he has a very short time. He is working quickly.

Do not be slothful, be quick and diligent in whatever the Lord has told you to do. There is no time. We have to wake up as a church. It is not about your church, denomination, or ministry. It is about the Master and the assignment He gave you. God is calling us back to Himself not to the church.

The world has its terms of success however, God sees faithfulness. When the Master returns, will He find you doing what He called you to do? You need not to be known, recognized, regarded, or right. Live for the audience of one. It does not matter who you displease as long as you please Him. Likewise, when you displease God, it does not matter who you please. We must leave a mark for God in our generation.

It is a clarion call to God's sleeping giant.

For every wilderness, there is a backside. God led Moses by the backside. God has a way; no temptation will come against you that He has not given you grace for. God will always make a way of escape. May God open your eyes to see your backside, to see that place you have never seen yet it has always been there. God opened Moses' eyes, and he was able to lead the flock, and he ended up on the mountain of the Lord.

And the Bible says that when he was at the mountain of the Lord, there was a bush burning. It was burning with fire, but it did not get consumed.

The Wilderness experience for Moses was a baptism of fire. God began to change him. For some of us, we are in a kind of wilderness, and we have gone around this wilderness, but God is saying there is a new way I want you to know me.

Moses had never known God in this dimension. He had never understood God as a consuming fire. He looked at the burning bush and was surprised it was not burning. He turned around to see.

God is raising a generation of people on fire for Him. People who will take a stand for God when everybody else is moving away and impact their generation. You will be on fire for God with a passion burning within you, just as Jeremiah was.

Jeremiah 20:9(NIV)

But if I say, "I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name," his word is in my heart like a fire; a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.

Casting season | Pastor Deborah Mutana.

Harvest is about casting. Cast your bread, time, energy, monies, and the things dear to you to obtain the harvest.

Casting requires us to have hope, faith, and a firm belief that God is in charge. What then should we cast for this season? We tend to relax after praying and fasting, but we must remember that this is our year of harvest. We are required to stay vigilant, have faith, and hold onto hope. No farmer ever plants in their soil and reaps in the next day or two. There's a procedure that takes time.

What is the opposite of casting? Withholding. I recall a time in Kenya when maize flour was so scarce that even those who had it resisted selling it so that the prices may go high. But, the Bible forbids us from holding back. Luke 12:16–21 (Jesus was talking about the rich man. verse 21. so is he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God) 

We are currently living in a sowing season. According to the Bible, if we scatter our bread over many waters, we will reap and have more after a while. Consequently, you must preserve and save to have more bread. Solomon; in his understanding of God's workings, however, cautions us that if we consider safety as the only option, we will acquire nothing, and if we view risk as the alternative, we will have more.

It is a tough season; not just for you, many people are finding it hard this season it is all over. It is safe to keep the things we treasure. There is a need for us to save. Yes, it is important to save but the Bible says where your treasure is there your heart will be.

 Isaiah 32: 20 "the Lord will greatly bless his people. Wherever they plant seed, bountiful crops will spring up. Their cattle and donkeys will graze freely."

This season is the time to prepare the ground. This is a time for us to prepare, whatever Ground God has positioned you, prepare because the showers are coming. It will be very sad for the showers to come and sweep the blessing right before your eyes. 

The presence of God is the best place to plant oneself. Psalms 92:12 states that " The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God." It is crucial to choose carefully where you get planted, as not everyone needs to speak into your life, not every environment is ideal, and not every ground is suitable for you to get planted. It matters where you go to church, hang out, and who your friends are, as these things affect whether you develop, bear fruit, or remain barren.

The righteous shall flourish like the cedar. I like the words that the word of God uses because the cedar is the most amazing tree in terms of how its roots grow wide. Cedars are mostly in Lebanon; their roots go so wide that they break rocks. Some Cedars you find them growing on mountains they're able to penetrate even rocks. Their ability to grow so wide makes them the strongest trees on Earth. It's hard to uproot a cedar because it goes so wide. 

Even when it is pushed by the wind, the palm tree never falls. The roots are so deep, they reach deeper than any other tree. The higher it grows the deeper it goes. This is God's best description for the righteous, they will flourish like the palm tree. The palm tree flourishes because it can get nutrients from places that other plants or trees cannot, it penetrates deeper and the cedar goes wider.

God is calling us to be deep people, from shallow places to deeper places. For us, to flourish, we must be deep and wide. The Book of Psalms 42:7 still speaks of, "deep calling unto deep' This man of God is talking about how he feels God calling him deeper. May this be your year of getting deeper and running away from shallow Waters.

There is still more in God than you and I have seen, even if we have seen miracles or prophecies, or walked with Him. The Bible encourages us to search for God from the outer court and seek Him. When we talk about seeking God, we're talking about getting deep. Even fishermen know that the deeper they go, the better fish they can catch because some fish cannot be found in Shallow Waters.

God is preparing us for depth. We must get to a place where we are deeper in the things of God. Deep calls unto deep!

Repairers of the breach are:

1. Intercessors.
2. Watchmen.
3. Priests.

So let us learn how to repair the breach as intercessors, watchmen, and priests.

• Intercessors

Ezekiel 22:30 “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one."

We often talk about intercession as standing in the gap for somebody else. But I want us to understand today; intercession is more than that, it is about building a wall. Many times we read this scripture and do not see that God is saying, I do not want you to just stand in the gap; I want you to build a wall, to close that gap and build a hedge. A hedge is only Built where there is danger.

• Watchmen -the real purpose of a Watchman is to alert when there is danger.

Isaiah 62:6 - "I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent, And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth."

After you have built the wall; you do not just walk away, you have to watch the wall. Here is where the watchmen come in. After you repair the breach, then God assigns you as a Watchman. Jesus told us not just to pray, He told us to watch. Breaching means to break little by little and before you know it the enemy has made another entry.

• Priests - Perform priestly functions. The world can only have power if it connects to God.

The first part of standing in the gap between God and His people is building the wall. The other part is performing our Priestly function because you represent your family before God. You are the one who is standing in there to pray to God. There is a misconception; I do not know where it came from, in which we always talk about men only as priests of the household, but that is not in the Bible. The Bible says we are all Kings, a holy nation, and a royal priesthood, so whether you are a man or a woman; you are a priest. A priest stands on behalf of God to declare the purposes of God. So do not just say I am not a man; therefore, I cannot be a priest of my family, no! God expects you to be a priest to raise an altar, to open a portal that heaven gets access to come and intervene on behalf of your family. So it is not enough to build the wall and repair it, we must offer sacrifices to God daily as priests. Our sacrifices as we know are not animals; it is our worship, our praise, our prayer, and fasting.

God wants you to know that certain things have stayed so long because you've allowed them to. Jesus Christ says I have given you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven. Bind means whatever you refuse you refuse permission to, heaven will endorse that whatever you lose/whatever you allow God says I will lose it.

So some of the things we think are God's responsibility are because we haven't taken our place. It is time to engage the spiritual gear. I know you've been going up that hill, I know it's been tough, I know it's been very painful and I know you've almost felt like giving up. But it's not time to give up, it is not time to retreat, it is not time to surrender, it is not time to give in or give over. It is time to say enough is enough I must take what belongs to me.

The Bible says that on Mount Zion there shall be Holiness, there shall be deliverance and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. Where are the people of God who are saying enough is enough? What the enemy has done, the people he has taken in my family I cannot let him take another soul. I won't let another brother go into alcoholism. I won't let another sister go into prostitution. I am raised right now to say enough is enough. The walls you have broken down are enough, the gates you have burnt down with fire are enough now I must do something.

This takes me to the last place the last dimension the physical when you have thought, you have the fact you have prayed now you better wake up and do something about it.

Nehemiah 2:5 says and I say to him if it pleases the king and if your servant has found favor in your sight I ask that you send me to Judah to the city of my father's tombs that I may rebuild it.

Are there people who are saying I am here because some things need to be rebuilt? God saved me and put me in this family because certain foundations must be repaired. The Bible says in the book of Psalm 11:3 "if the foundations are destroyed what do the righteous do?" and the answer is when the foundations are destroyed the righteous rebuild them.

I pray that you will be among those who are saying, I'm tired enough that I will engage in every dimension. I will do whatever needs to be done to break down whatever spiritual forces that have been stopping me from advancing because I am in the Kingdom for such a time as this. Mordecai Challenged Esther and said, "if you hold your peace deliverance will come from another place." so God is not limited to you God could use anybody.

Benefits of fasting:

1. Helps you to war in the spirit, it is spiritual warfare. There are battles you will never win until you fast,  bondages in your family's bloodline that can only break when you fast.

2. Helps you to undo heavy burdens. There are some people you will not be able to forgive until you fast. You may want to move on, but you just don't have the grace and the ability to let go. Someone hurt you so bad and you're like, God I want to forgive but I don't have the ability. When you fast God will give you that ability that you'll just feel lighter. 

3. It causes you to walk in power, free the oppressed. Not only are you able to lose bonds of wickedness or undo heavy burdens but you will have the power to bring Deliverance to other people. The devil knows people who have authority in the spirit. He is not scared of every believer; just because you call yourself saved doesn't scare him. What scares the devil is when you know your authority. It doesn't matter whether you're young or old.

4. It breaks every yoke. I have essentially already spoken about that but the Bible says this, I've given you what will break every yoke; not some yoke every yoke. I pray that I'm already stirring you enough to make a resolve that even when you feel like eating, you say no.

5. It causes the light of God to Break Forth(light breaks forth like the morning) Is there darkness in some areas of your life? Do you want the light to Break Forth? Begin to fast, your light shall break forth like the morning and not only that when the light came, the Bible says; God divided the light from darkness. In the name of Jesus this year God is separating light from Darkness. Wherever there has been darkness in your life let the light of God be in Jesus name.

6. Brings healing, I am talking about physical healing. There are certain diseases that will simply go away when you fast. This has been proven by doctors as well (Your healing shall spring forth speedily).

7. Enables you to walk in righteousness. Certain bondages, habits and sins will only break when you fast. Personally, I've been able to overcome addictions and lusts of all kinds. The devil runs away; you don't even know where he has gone because you're fasting. 

8. It releases the glory of God. The glory of God means the weight of God; the heaviness of God. Some of us are weighed down by so many things, I pray that you now begin to feel the weight of His Glory Hallelujah!

9. It will cause you to have swift answers. (verse 9 - you shall call and the Lord will answer you will cry and say here I am) you're going to begin to see your answers.

10. Fasting brings Clarity (verse 11 - the Lord will guide you continually) are you in a place of confusion? Are you in a place where you don't understand what to do? You don't know where to go? It is time for you to fast, you will get clarity. 

You have to get to a certain point and say, you know; I have always eaten. I know I love this, but for the sake of what God is about to do, for the sake of the yokes that must break I will deny myself what is rightfully mine that I may see the glory of God. 

Today I'm talking about prayer, how to pray and why many prayers do not get answered. Many people think they're praying yet they don't see the answers to their prayers. And the first reason is:

1. We pray out of order. We are trying to get God to work against His Word and He can never. God can never operate outside His Word. And all the devil wants to do is disorganize your life and open you to things that shouldn't be there.

 We do not pray to inform God. We pray that God may inform us. I want you to think about that again, there's nothing about us God does not know. And so a lot of us, when we go to pray, it's just a monologue. We're trying to tell God this and that, but let me tell you something that I learned. And this changed my life. I realized that I need to stay in prayer long enough to hear God. Because it is when He speaks that your situation changes.

The other thing that pains me and this is everywhere, even in our nation is:

    2.  Mixture. God hates mixture. If you are light, be light, don't be light and darkness. In the very beginning, God separated the light from the darkness. He didn't say, let's have something that looks like light. This year, your prayers will be answered because you are bringing back order where there's been disorder, you are bringing back divine structure. 

Jesus Christ said if you are in me and my words are in you, you will ask whatsoever. So as long as you are in divine alignment, you are seeking the kingdom of God, and you are seeking His righteousness; anything you desire, He will do it.

 John 15:7; says, up to now, you've not asked me; can you imagine? He says you've not asked me for anything. These guys had been with Him for three and a half years but He tells them; you guys don't know who I am, you've not asked me. He says, if you abide in me, my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you need, whatever you desire, He says, and it shall be done for you.

I read a book in it, the writer says, bold prayers, honor God because God is a big God. In 2023, may your praying go to another level! May you begin to believe for the impossible, and may you not limit God by your salary,  connections, and job. May you begin to believe God for what your salary cannot do, for what your job cannot do, because your salary is not enough. However big it is, it's not enough to fulfill God's vision for your life. So I've learned to believe God for big things, to pray bold prayers, and to tell God what, not just what I want, but even what I desire, why, because that's what the Bible says.

Many of us pray prayers God has already answered because we have not learned to pray. We have not learned to descend that miracle. We have not learned to just receive the blessing. God has already commanded your blessing, O Hallelujah. All You need is to hear where it is. Everything about you has already been planned. You're not just trying to make things happen. When you understand that, then you realize you just need to spend more time with God, understanding His will, than trying to make things happen on your own. So a lot of what we think are unanswered prayers are not unanswered prayers. God has already answered; we just don't see the answer.

Every instruction God gives is a seed. So the instruction you hear from God could be an idea, a dream, or a new business idea, and God speaks in all kinds of ways. He will speak, but sometimes we think, this is my voice or this is my own thought. But God wants to direct you. Many of us go back to prayer, asking God to answer, but that instruction will work for you only if you obey it.

So today, we're going to speak about creating an atmosphere for your seed to blossom. There is no better place to see that than from God Himself. When God was creating this earth, He fashioned it as a seed. Everything God has spoken to you is a seed. Everything God has revealed to you is a seed. 

How do we ensure that the seed God has given you will reproduce? Because not every seed reproduces and this is caused by different reasons. Some seeds are sowed on the wrong ground. We know the parable of the sower. Some seeds are picked up by the birds. Some seeds are choked as they begin to grow. And so there are many people's destinies and many people's lives, that have not been fruitful. 

What will change your year is not just a change of dates. To ensure that your seed blossoms, you have to consider these three things: 

1. Recognize what kind of seed God has given you. 

2. Where are you supposed to be planted? 

3. How will you provide or create an atmosphere for that seed to blossom? 

There are three things we see in Genesis 1:1-4:

1. Emptiness
2. Lack of structure/ form 
3. Darkness. 

 So when God saw that these three things were there, what did He do? Did He panic? Did He call a committee?  What did He do? The Bible says He let His spirit hover over the face of the waters. 

So the key thing for you to blossom in 2023, is learning how to create an atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to hover over your life. Because this is what God did when He realized things were out of hand. Now before we go on, let me talk a little bit about this word, hovering; it is very powerful because it's the same word as brooding. Brooding is what the hen does over the eggs so that they can hatch. And for 21 days, this hen will come and sit on these eggs. And after 21 days, the eggs hatch. But you see, that process cannot happen unless there is brooding. 

The seed will remain a seed unless it is subjected to a process. Everything God has spoken to you is a seed. Everything God has revealed to you is a seed. It must go through a process. Many of us don't want the process. When God speaks to us, the Bible says He declares the end from the beginning. When God speaks to you, you don't just hear it, you see it. 

Habakkuk says, "I will stand on my watch and wait to see what he will say to me." 

God is so good at creating a picture in your imagination. He will show you the end at the beginning. The end you have seen excites you. But there is a vast gap between the vision that God is giving you and your situation.

And coming from your situation to the place of your revelation is where a lot of people give up. Because God, even in the beginning, His idea of the earth was not darkness, it was not emptiness, His idea was us and the plants and all these things.

But, He comes face to face with this situation and says, I know how to deal with this. I will let my spirit hover, glory to God. Friends in 2023, there are certain things that you're going to learn not to do. I like what somebody said; many of us write a to-do list, as our new year's resolutions. Most of us, by the end of the second month, realize we've not done anything. I learned that instead of writing a to-do list, I should write a not-to-do list.

The Lord is my shepherd.

Because of Jesus, you are a winner in life, an overcomer, and a victor. 

Romans 5:17 -You are supposed to reign in life. 

God has already planned your life. The script has been written. All you have to do is walk and live by that script.

 In Christ, we enjoy life. There is no joy outside of Christ. In Him, we have joy unspeakable and full of glory. Joy is not the absence of pain or sorrow; the presence of God is what gives joy. His joy gives us strength. 

The Bible says, "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say rejoice." Do not put your joy on hold because of your expectation. Begin to enjoy life where you are on the way to where you are going. You will have the joy of the Lord that is not dependent on happenings when you begin to celebrate God's goodness.
