#4th anniversary Celebrations of 77 D.O.Gs – Sept 25th

Galatians 6:9 reads, And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Its very important that we don’t give up too soon; we don’t fall out of grace; we don’t faint. The bible says, [If] thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength [is] small [Proverbs 24:10].

I want to share with you about something that God revealed to me about “Enduring the hardships; Enduring the battle.” In Ephesians 3:8, this is Paul writing; “Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints,…” This is a great level of humility to this general and apostle of faith. “…is this grace given that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.” Verse 9, And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ. Verse 10, To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly [places] might be known by the church… We are going to make something known to the church because the church is Christ’s bride. What is that going to be known to the church? The manifold wisdom of God. Verse 11, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord. So God has a reason of everything He is doing. Verse 12-16, In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.

There are no small battles in this world which we are in. There’s no discharge and once you sign up, you sign in. Every battle you win is a big deal. There are no accidental victories. Every battle is fought through the mind of God. And you know the mind of God that He thinks the end from the beginning. Every battle you go through is already fought through the mind of God and He knows every detail. That may give you the peace of mind. God will never figure out how you will win that battle because it goes through His mind. He always knows what to do. He thought about that battle already, that you’re coming out victorious.

Let me speak to you today, you are not going to fail in this battle. You are not going to lose it, you’re not going lose your mind and time. Everything has been thought about through the mind of God. Everything we are going through has been strategically planned in the mind of God. He does everything because He see your outcome; He sees the millionaire you’re going to become; He sees you flying your own jet; He sees you owning the land; He sees you owning the business. There are no small battles and accidental victory; you’re going to see it at the end. God always wants you to come out of your battle when the devil is humiliated and defeated. He wants you to humiliate the devil time and time again. Everything we go through has been processed and planned through the mind of God.

You are not going to win or accomplish that thing God told you to do by accident. We must start telling people that God made the earth for me, I am not winning or succeeding or anointed by accident. You had to go through something; I had to pay the price and that’s the humility. No part of our victory is accidental. Your victory, and every victory we have is intentional. Listen: Endurance of a battle is purposely for me to endure and to make known to the principalities and to the powers the manifold wisdom of the living God. God is causing you to win on purpose. He is causing you to prosper on purpose. To you it was accidental but to God it was on purpose. The devil is already defeated but God wants him humiliated. When Jesus came, he said, I have ALL the power, and the devil has no power. ALL power in heaven and on the earth is in the hands of Jesus.

In every situation, God wants you to come out and humiliate the devil. God has graced you to endure and to go through that situation because He wants to humiliate the devil who is already defeated. God is determined that every principalities and powers bow down to the name of Jesus. That’s why all these things we are going through, these victories which are intentional, all these battles which you are winning, they are designed to humiliate the enemy and ultimately bring him to his knees until he declares that Jesus is Lord. When you don’t give up, the devil is humiliated. When the devil attacked my son and family, God told me that He was going to give me double for my trouble. The devil wanted us to be stressed but God purposely graced our lives to be able to go through that, deal with all the things we had to deal with, and He humiliated the enemy over and over again. Declare: the devil is already defeated in my life. God wants him humiliated.

So, it now time to focus our faith. The Lord told me that where He was taking me, I needed to focus my faith. You have to get results and get to the end that I have declared. Therefore, whatever you are going through, you are not going to be distracted, you are not going to lose hope, praise, be depressed, lose your mind, and nothing is going to happen. You must stay focused knowing that you are going to the expected end, and God took this thing in His mind. Declare: I am not going to lose my skin, my teeth, my properties and everything that God has given me, but I am going to stay focused; I am going to keep going from glory to glory and from faith to faith until I reach that expected end. Therefore, you must purpose in your heart that you’re going to keep your faith focused. Even when bad things happen to your family, just know that you’re not going to lose and nothing will happen to you because God thought about that thing in His mind. Keep focus of your faith on this truth that God has purposefully graced you to endure this battle because He wants to bring humiliation to the enemy. Why do you keep your faith focused? Because you’re already on His mind. You have already won and you have the victory over the enemy. Even when that tragedy destroys your finances, I tell you, you will be at the top; you have already won, it’s just a matter of time. The reason why you are going through that season [of difficulties] is because God wants to humiliate the enemy.

God plays cheese and not checkers; He makes every move before the enemy does. What you’re going through is about Him to bring a humiliation on Satan. You have to tell yourself, I have already won; I could be suffering right now but I have already won because God purposed this thing already in His mind before He brought me in. Therefore, focus your faith. Know that what you’re going through, it’s not about you, allow God to go ahead and humiliate the devil in your life; let God do whatever He wants to show that the enemy has no power, he cannot do what he says he can do.

Note these things: you have already won and this is not about you but a continuous humiliation of the devil which causes the manifold manifestation of the wisdom of God. Every person in the bible that didn’t faint and that kept their faith focused, they were intentionally victorious and they were purposefully graced to endure what they had to go through. God is going to grace you to go through that… God graced us when our son was on drugs that we had to endure and now he is going around the world preaching the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ humiliating the enemy. Every person in the bible who had victory had to go through something which they endured. Abraham had a battle with Sarah, where he had these thoughts that Ismael would be the promised child. He battled all these outside influences. It’s not a small battle to give birth at a hundred years. Moses had a battle of insecurity and speech; he had a battle to lead one million people to safety. And God wanted to use Moses. All the battles that Abraham endured with his outside influences brought him to the place of victory. Therefore, there are no accidental victories.

David battled his way to become a man who was after God’s own heart; a man whom God wanted and the sweet psalmist of Israel. I don’t know what your battle is but there are no small battles. May be internally you are struggling with insecurity or your looks or speech or weight or standing before people or with finances or drugs or alcohol or same sex desires, I don’t know what you are struggling with, but you have that battle and God has graced your life to overcome it, and to go through it. No matter how long it takes, you have already won. Think about how your testimony will be when you stand up victorious. I want to tell this that when you press to endure the battle, no matter who you are, you have already won. Keep your faith and focus on the end.

Israel battled through 430 years of slavery but they became the elect of God. When you look everywhere, there are Jews and they control wealth everywhere. They endured the task masters. GRACE caused them to endure the battle. Don’t let anybody talk you out in giving up, throwing out the towel because you have the grace to endure this battle and you have already won. Apostle Paul battled with confusion when he was writing his epistles and whenever he battled with his past, GRACE came to his rescue. God through Paul’s life was able to humiliate the devil. Paul wrote many letters in the New Testament. Peter battled double-mindedness to become the preacher of Pentecost. 1 Corinthians 1:25-28 says, Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are. God purposely chooses the weak and makes them do great things. He deliberately chose you. If you are embarrassed about your past, God knew about your past. Have confidence in God that He can see the picture of your future. He knew that you were that crazy and you couldn’t talk, but He deliberately chose you. God chose us knowing that we were weaklings, nothing, foolish and said, I can use you. God use the foolish to confuse the enemy; he wants him scratch his head.

We are not different, Jesus is the SAME yesterday, today and forevermore, and His mission and power are still the SAME. His wisdom is still the SAME, and His power is inexhaustible. Hebrews 12:1, Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. We must focus our faith to win this race by looking to Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God [Hebrews 12:2]. Remember, no small battle, no accidental victories. It’s not about us but God giving a constant humiliation to the devil.

Friends, if you have never given your life to Jesus and you want to make Him first in your life, just say this simple prayer: “Lord Jesus, I ask you to be the Lord of my life; forgive me of all my sins; cleanse me; I believe You died on the cross for me and You rose from the dead. I ask you to be first in my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit; make me a new person and I believe in You in Jesus’ name.” You are Now a born again.
