Understanding Your Season

#E-Sunday Service, July-5-2020 with Pastor Robert Kayanja Junior

1Samuel 16:10-13 [NIV]

The bible says in 1 Samuel 16:10-11, Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The LORD has not chosen these.” So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.” Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.” God can do many things just in the simplicity of time. Wherever you’re in this season of lockdown, God has something for you. He is not going to do anything until you’re in your place. God is not going to miss on you and no one is going to replace your position just like David. It doesn’t matter how long it will take you to get there, they will wait for you. No one can steal from you.

Verse 12 says, Jesse sent for David and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features. The Lord told Samuel, he’s the one. Sometimes you need to know that the people who are the gate keepers of your life aren’t the one to give you the promotion. Samuel wasn’t a gatekeeper but he was just a messenger. God was David’s gate keeper. When you look at this entire text, you will realize that David was called not knowing what was going to happen. The beauty about David’s life is that he always did what he was meant to do. He was in the field tending the flock of sheep. When you look at sheep as a flock it comes to mind that we as leaders have a flock to look after. God has given us the flock to takecare of. He also wants us to understand that to get to level 2 [another level] we must pass level one. It’s very hard for God to promote you when you have not passed the basics of level one.

David’s brothers never approved him for that anointing. Nobody wanted him to succeed. None of his brothers stopped him from going to the field that day. When God calls you for the next level, something always happens and it’s called the ANOINTING. When David was called by his father, he was focused and as he was walking in, he met Samuel. David never complained why he wasn’t told earlier; infact he was okay with his level one. Never walk in early when you’re the chief guest. David was the chief guest that day. He wasn’t there to watch his brothers get anointed because he was looking after the sheep, but his brothers were there to watch him get anointed. And this entire text is about “FOMO” whose acronym is “Fear Of Missing Out.” Many people fear to miss out. Jonah had FOMO that he tried to run away from God and he landed no way that a whale swallowed him and vomited him where God had told him to go. Each one of us has FOMO. With the case of David, he had no Fear Of Missing Out. FOMO is like Fear – False Evidence Appearing Real. Danger is real but Fear is not real. Fear will not only rob you of your freedom but with that of others!

So, when God anoints you from now on, it means that it has no end. He prepares for you a table before your enemies. God anointed David before his brothers! And God said to Samuel, “Rise and anoint him; this is the one.” God doesn’t do things half way. Samuel did what he was told to do because obedience is better than sacrifice. Some of you are standing and even blocking other people’s blessings. Samuel followed instructions and he never hesitated; he said, “We will not sit down until he arrives!” The truth be told, Samuel never knew David. He was waiting for the CALLED.

As I conclude: when Samuel anointed David, the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon him and stayed with him. The scripture says, Samuel then went to Ramah; he returned home [1 Samuel 16:13]. Listen to this: after God has told you to do what He has instructed you, step aside. Anointings don’t share position. Samuel had to leave. Some of you are stuck where you are because you refused to let go of what God told you to leave. Some of you are anointed but you are disturbed by the success of others. God wants to give you another position but you’re still holding onto that position.

Thank you for having been part of our online experience and I believe you were blessed with the message. Don’t miss out TONIGHT, our Pastors Robert & Jessica Kayanja will be ministering.

Purpose & Assignment: Health & Wealth

The seven spirits of God: STRENGTH

We are still studying about strength, one of the seven spirits of God from the book of Revelation chapter 5. I want us to understand that the Lamb of God was slain on the cross such that we could get these seven spirits, and everything we need is in this Lamb of God (Jesus Christ). Our sins were rolled on Him as God was also looking at Him.

The solution to your problem is in Jesus because He is the center of your life and everything rotates on Him. Revelation 5:12 reads, saying with a loud voice:  “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”. Verse 13 says, And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and glory and power [Be] to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”. 

Is silver, gold, stones, corona virus creatures? They all agreed for the first time and said, “Blessing and honor and glory and power [Be] to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

When Jesus managed to break the seal, He released these seven spirits of God. Revelation 5:6 reads, “And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.” These spirits came to earth because the blood of the lamb was shed at the cross.

This blood is far better than the seven spirits of God. It casts out cancer, illnesses and it rebukes demons. Child of God, wherever the Lamb of God is, angels and blessings will respond. John the Baptist, the man who brought baptism in the whole world, said “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” [John 1:29].

The earth gave back four spirits to God. Blessing, honor, glory and power, and the other three that is, riches, wisdom and strength stayed. We know what brings riches, wisdom and strength. Strength comes because of purpose and assignment. Purpose and Assignment reveal to us two things; health and wealth. Purpose is health and assignment is wealth.  

Once God gives you health, you need to understand that your purpose is determined by His presence, and thus it’s divine health. “For I [am] the LORD that healeth thee” [Exodus 15:26]. “He sent his word, and healed them” [Psalms 107:20]. “But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed” [Isaiah 53:5].

God is the healer. You cannot lift up Jesus when you’re sick, and in the 49 crusades we did across the country, I realized that people were really sick physically, financially, spiritually. The church of Christ was also sick but God healed many. Then 77 days of glory came, still many people have been healed. Health is by the presence of God. Healing is divine and God is our healer. When you get to Jesus, you get health and that is your purpose. The purpose of your life is so divine that it can only be revealed by the Divine. Purpose is your calling!

Assignment will bring you wealth. The scripture says, “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth…” [Deuteronomy 8:18].

Wealth is a creature which you cannot inherit. What you inherit is called a legacy. Therefore, my assignment now is to feed the hungry. When you tithe, we turn your tithe into food because Malachi 3:9[a] says “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be ‘food’ in My house”.  There is also the testing part where He says, [b] “And try Me now in this, “Says the LORD of hosts,” If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you [such] blessing That [there will] not [be room] enough [to receive it.]”.

When you bring your tithe in the house of the Lord and we turn it into food to feed the hungry, we prove the word of God. People have to be fed physically, spiritually and mentally. Mentally, Proverbs 23:7 says, as a man thinks in his heart, so [is] he, and Romans 12:2 states, “do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what [is] that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

The more closely you get to God, you get power which is both spiritual and mental, and it can easily change the physical. When the spirit of God came upon David, he remembered that he had to bring back the Ark of the Covenant which he had kept at Obed-Edom’s house. Once his spirit connected with his mind, the physical body had to dance even though he was a king [2 Samuel 6:14].

It’s our thinking that has made us to be what we are today because Power manifests both spiritually and mentally. That’s why Philippians 2:5 tells us that “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” Poverty is a mindset and it has been attributed to our thinking. Wealth is a creature, you can bring it into your home and display it there. That’s why some of the wealth will stay for a while in your life and then disappear yet the other will stay for a long time, and this is where the mind of investment comes in.

People who understand their assignment[s] know how to close deals but if they don’t know their purpose, they will spend all the money they get aimlessly. This is where strength is needed because it affects both your purpose and assignment, and it will give you health and wealth. The bible says, “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength” [Isaiah 40:31].

Remember to be part of our E-Sunday service at 9am [EAT], and don’t forget next week on Friday [May 22, 2020]. We bring you a worship experience right there in the comfort of your home with Todd Dulaney “Victory Belongs to Jesus”. Tune in to Channel 44 Television and the Robert Kayanja Ministries digital media platforms and you will be blessed.

Purpose: Arrangement

873 Views

The seven spirits of God: STRENGTH

The book of Daniel talks about purpose and assignment. Daniel 11:32 reads, “And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits]”. Doing exploits reveals strength, and strength is the fourth spirit of God that was released on earth [Revelation 5:12].

Strength is in Jesus Christ who is the hope of our glory. Today, the world economies are no longer strong though they might be strong militarily. Some time ago I taught about how you need health to create wealth and that wealth can be maintained with health. Strength will give you health, and exploits will bring you wealth.

Strength gives you long satisfied life which is prosperity. Therefore the strength of the Lord will take you where your solution is not found.

The solution to your problem[s] is not found in grace or at the cross but it is found in the Lamb of God that was slain at the cross. If you don’t want the prosperity gospel then you must leave Jesus alone because you cannot get to him and stay poor or your mother-in-law remains sick.

Our strength is from the Lord, that’s why we are coming out of this COVID-19 lock down strong. Isaiah 35:1 says, “The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose”.

If your name is Rose then you must claim this scripture for yourself. I speak to every person by the name ‘ROSE’ that you shall not die where you were planted, you shall be alive again. Rose, declare, I’m gonna live and not die in this lock down.

Your life is a purpose that’s why you need other people with purpose to hung out with them. You’re gonna blossom but you must join an arrangement. The Holy Spirit has given us this COVID-19 lock down as an arrangement to read the bible and to also have rest.

You shall blossom like Mount Carmel because God is identifying Himself with you. I declare, you are joining the Rose of Sharon. Get this: you gain value once you’re put in an arrangement because when you’re alone, you don’t appease.

Your purpose cannot be fulfilled alone, that’s why you are part of the 42 million Ugandans. Your purpose gains value when you help others. The rose flower is beautiful but once you put it with other flowers in an arrangement, it gains more value.

The purpose why we are here is because we were put in this arrangement such that we can blossom. I decree and declare, you’re not gonna die in that situation or condition because there’s a purpose why you are here.

Beloved, allow God to put you in an arrangement. He has already put us in an arrangement of the 77 days of glory and every day we are here praying and now we are distributing food. God has put you in such an arrangement so that He may build you to be a leaning machine.

He has put us in this arrangement that bars are closed and the church is now in our homes. Some of you used to speak negative words about yourselves but because of such arrangement. Your mouth is now covered with a mask that you can no longer speak such words.

Get ready, the whole world is waiting for the full manifestation of the sons of God. You’re a child of God, you’re gonna blossom and you’re gonna sing a new song. The devil thought you were gonna die but am here to tell you that you’re coming out of this lock down alive and better.

You and I have a purpose, and our purposes are real. They are gonna change our families and we are about to see the glory of God. I declare, you will have your own land, food, language and the world is about to worship your God.

When God called Abraham, they were just husband and wife but He put them in an arrangement. He took them to Egypt, gave them the land of Canaan. They gave birth to Isaac who gave birth to Jacob, and through their lineage, Jesus came forth. All this was an arrangement. Our purpose is to destroy the works of the enemy.

He said, verse 2, “It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, [and] the excellency of our God.”

The world is about to see the excellency and the glory of our God.The excellency of our God is what destroyed Baal and his prophets at Mount Carmel. When they prayed for fire and didn’t come forth [1 Kings 17:20-40].

Beloved, how excellent is our God. The world is about to see the manifestation of the sons of God, and you’re the son of God.

The seven spirits of God: STRENGTH || Job 22:21-29

It’s very important to understand your purpose and assignment in such a time as this. Our purpose and assignment (as a ministry) in this time is to strengthen the body of Christ and to let people know that the devil won’t win and he is on the run, that’s why we are creating both the presence of God and alters in our homes. Purpose is for a life time, the day you were born, and the bible clearly says, “God knew you before you were born” [Jeremiah 1:5].

Assignment is a mission. God will never give you a mission until you’re prepared. The purpose of God in the life of Job, Job was a holy man that is purpose; he was upright, feared God and shunned evil and because of that, this man was rich [Job 1:2].

Most religious people think that when you serve God, you become a begger but am here to tell you that I am a believer. The scripture says, “and these signs shall follow those that believe” [Mark 16:17]; when you are a believer, signs shall follow you.

Indicators will follow you. Signs are indicators; “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Healing of the land is an indicator that God’s people are turning away from their wicked ways, they are praying.

There are signs that follow your condition; the bible tells us about Job, the man was holy, which is the first thing it talks about. Job 1:1 reads, “There was a man in the land of Uz,” he wasn’t the only man in Uz but he was the only one of his kind. “…whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.” Verse 2, “And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.”

Now they are telling you the benefits of his character/ nature, the benefit of what he had become in God. Beloved, time has come for people to know of who you’re in God and why you are prosperous, intelligent, clever, and rich, why your children are successful, why you’re blessed, strong and why you have the glory of God. “His substance also was seven thousand sheep”, number seven was already in his life, and if not seven, three. “…and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east” [Job 1:3]. People are gonna look to you and wonder what kind of man you are, because we cannot associate with the Creator and we end up being void.

One of the things that is gonna bless you is to know purpose; “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth but the earth was without form, and void” [Genesis 1:1-2]; nothing associates with God or God associates can remain void. The devil may knock you down but once you are connected and associated with the Creator, when He speaks it happens and comes to pass.

You can’t associate with this God Almighty and you stay empty headed, handed and pocketed, you cannot! The earth had to come back to its fulness because where God is; in His presence there’s fulness of joy [Psalms 16:11]. Get ready child of God, we are not associated with religion, mankind or demons but we are associated with Jehovah Almighty, the maker of heaven and earth, the One who raises the dead, the One who has the power and the life, the One who is a miracle worker and something good is about to happen to you.

It’s time for you to associate with God, and that’s what Job 22:21 says, “Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.” Acquaint means come closer to Him even though He is not your friend as He was to Abraham; make Him your friend, get closer to Him and be at peace that good will come to you.

Speak it into your house; good is coming to me and that is the purpose for your life. Verse 23 says, “If thou return to the Almighty:” 2 Chronicles 7:14 states, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn…;” Many of us return to religious but it’s time to return to God. Verse 23 continues, “…thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.” God is building you, He will use the seven spirits to build you up; you will be powerful, wise, strong, honorable, glorious and blessed. God is breaking this and putting in this because He is building you.

Verse 26 says, “For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.” Some of you have not been appeasing to God because you were not associated to Him; get this, you cannot be with God, associate with Him and remain the same. I declare, people are about to look at you and glorify God. Today I read about Job and I glorify God.

Verse 28 reads, “Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.” Child of God, in your purpose, you’re allowed to taste; you will taste of His goodness, wonders and joy. And the moment you taste, you cannot let go. Remember, you began as an acquaintance with God (coming to church once in a while, reading the bible in a while), you are now so divine that you’re using His power and strength to make things to happen. Verse 29 says, “When [men] are cast down, then thou shalt say, [There is] lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.” Today, you’re receiving one of the seven spirits of God called STRENGTH. There is lifting in your life in the name of Jesus; you shall not go down but God shall save you.

As Job was the greatest among the men of the East, so shall you be the greatest among men in your family. May God shade His love on you, and I ask you to give Him a chance to work in you such that His purposes may be revealed in your life. What are His purposes for you? Let God work His purposes in you; you are the clay; He gets you out of the clay and turns you into a vessel.

Friends allow me to end here and I believe this message about purpose has blessed you. Don’t miss our E-Miracle Overnight every Friday starting at 9PM [EAT].

Disconnect from the earthly affairs Part 2

1,170 Views

In this text, Pr. Benny continues his teaching on how to disconnect ourselves from the earthly affairs. For the joy that was set before Jesus, he endured the cross despising the shame. Imagine despising the shame and not paying attention to what was going on in his body; he disconnected from the pain and the shame; for the scripture says, consider him; look unto him, lest ye faint in your minds [Hebrews 12:3].

Consider him for he endured such hostilities of sinners and while he was on the cross, they were attacking him, speaking against him. If you are the son of God, come off that cross, and with such things, he completely ignored what was going on around him because he saw the joy.

Can you imagine sweet people, the mental attacks on such a person hanging on the cross. His body completely torn apart, his face marred that it could not be recognized like that of a human being. His flesh hanging on his own bones, his bones exposed, with every breathe he felt pain for six hours. Imagine the agony of Calvary and the bible says, he despised all of that, he despised all the shame. He endured the torments of Calvary for the joy that was set before him.

I wanna show you something unbelievable in Psalms 22. We have read this psalm but there’s something I think we have not paid attention to. Jesus saw the joy and this psalm begins with, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? 

The word roaring means groaning. Verse 2 says, O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. He makes an amazing statement here in verse 3, But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Do you know why he said that? It’s so powerful when you realize what he said in that verse; why would he say, ‘thou art holy?’

From the most powerful presentation “The Holiness of God” written by an old father of the church called Chinook. “God’s holiness is manifested at the cross wondrously and yet more solemnly does the atonement display God’s infinite holiness and abhorrence of sin.” I am going make you a statement and I want you to hear me. God does not forgive sin, He forgives the sinner. Sin had to be destroyed and judged at the cross.

“How hateful must sin be to God for Him to punish it at its utmost, when it was imputed to His son? It says, not all vows of judgment shall be put out upon the wicked world nor the flaming furnace of a sinner’s conscience nor the irreversible sentence pronounced against the rebellious demons nor the grounds of the dump creatures. Such is the great demonstration of God’s hatred to sin of the wrath He loosed on His son.”

All His wrath was put on His son at that moment when Jesus cried, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”. When he took it upon himself and became sin for us, God’s wrath was completely placed on him. He took the wrath of God for us and sin was judged in his body. What a perfect fulfillment in psalms when the Lord said and repeated in Hebrews, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me [Hebrews 10:15].

Those animals would not satisfy the wrath of God which is holiness, and that’s why he cried, it says this; “never did divine holiness appear more beautiful and lovely…”. This himself acknowledged in Psalms 22 when God had turned his smiling face from him which forced a tremble cry “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”, And then he begins to adore the perfection of holiness as he says in verse 3, “But thou art holy,” in other words, I am glad to take Your wrath because You are Holy.

I am glad to be the sacrifice because You are Holy. Sin has to be judged and I am gladly giving my body to be that instrument of judgment, to be judged. But what kept him, what is the key is here, even after he says; I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people [Palms 22:6], and with such details, he begins to describe the amazing moments at the cross, [verse12-19]

Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round; They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion;

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint;

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; dogs have compassed me, meaning the Gentiles and the roman soldiers,

they pierced my hands and my feet; I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me; They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

How amazing that the Holy Spirit gave David the details about the cross, but look at what verse 22 says, in the midst of his pain he cried and said, I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. Verse 25, My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: He saw the church, and I love what it says in verse 20, Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. 

The darling is the church and the book of Hebrews says, ‘my precious life’ and his precious life is the church. Jesus saw the church and said, I am gonna declare to You. I am gonna tell the church about who You are, Lord.

I am gonna reveal your name to the church, and this is how he was able to stay joyful and despised the shame of Calvary, and not be affected mentally by the enemies all around Him. Hebrews 12:3 says, For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. It’s time we disconnect our mind from earthly matters.

Thank you for having been part of the Global Prayer Hour with Pr. Benny Hinn. I believe this message has blessed you. Don’t miss our E-Miracle overnight this Friday at 9pm [EAT], it’s gonna be powerful.

Disconnect from the earthly affairs

1,237 Views

Thank you for having been part of our Global Hour of Prayer E-service last Monday, and here is what Pr. Benny shared with us.

What I want to talk to you now is very important to my life and I want to really get your attention on what I believe we as God’s people need to do right now. I will give you the headline: it’s time we begin living for the next life in this life; it’s time we begin to live for eternity today, not when we wait to see the Lord.

Three years ago, the Lord said to me very clearly to stop watching television and I have not watched one network in those three years. The Lord said to me, begin to disconnect from this life, from this world and naturally I don’t know what is going on. I am not blind of the things happening around me. But when I began to do this, the peace and the joy that over flow my heart I cannot describe it.

We cannot allow the world anymore to influence our thinking. And then I began to read the word of God three times a year, from Genesis to Revelation and the change that has happened to me I cannot even talk about it.

I read Christian materials by the great authors who have gone to heaven, the great fathers of the church, the great reformers like Martin Luther and Foxe because I want the depth they walked into, and I have been telling the pastors that we have to do exactly what Abraham did, and its mentioned in Hebrews 11:10; “For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.”

He chose to be a stranger in the land of promise, and the bible says, he could have gone back to Haran where he came from but he chose to live in a tent and see himself as a stranger on the earth because he saw his citizenship not on earth, his citizenship was in heaven. It’s time we begin to change our thinking on our citizenship on earth, our citizenship is in heaven.

For example, you’re not a citizen of Uganda. Your true citizenship is heavenly, though your body needs identification, citizenship and so forth. We can travel using passports but our real citizenship is not earthly, and if our citizenship is not earthy, why are we more involved in earthly matters? So our heavenly life must begin to control and affect our lifestyle on earth; our lifestyle and citizenship must come together.

I walked in a room not long ago and there was a lady watching a secure program, I said, why are you watching this? She said I liked it. I said, what does this do for your walk with God? What is this doing to your spiritual life? She was very upset with me for asking such a question. I said, what does this do for your spiritual relationship with the Lord?

She became convicted and later switched it off though not that she wanted to. I have told my children and my wife Suzanne that we must begin to live the next life now as though we are already there. We must immerse ourselves in the scriptures to begin to know the mind of God.

You know there’s something so troubling in America and that is the problem with mental health. People are on medication for mental illnesses because of addictive drug consumption, and this has become a major problem in the United States. The rate of suicide among our young people has gone sky high.

Social media is killing our young people because they cannot compete with the popularity of their friends on Facebook, Instagram and other platforms which we can use for the Lord. Because they cannot handle the competition, they end up committing suicide.

The solution to mental illness is what Hebrews 12 verse 1 – 3 talks about; verse 1 reads, “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.”

The key is looking unto Jesus, here is the real foundation of health, beauty and glory; verse 2 reads, “Looking unto 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.”

How can you look unto Jesus if you are so connected to earthly matters? It’s time we stop looking at earthly matters and look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith; to acknowledge His presence daily, when we wake up in the morning, when we do our work at home and when we are doing work at our workplaces.

You must acknowledge Jesus in everything you do and in every decision you make. Look at what the scripture has said, “who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God,” and here is what verse 3 says, “For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.”

Why are people fainting in their minds? Why are they losing their minds? Because there are three problems; the sin in their life [in verse 1] which they have not yet laid away; they are not looking unto Jesus.

The way the Lord did it, the bible says, “for the joy that was set before him”; he saw the church, he saw the victories of Calvary and we see that in Psalms 22, he saw the joy of Calvary and the glories of the cross. For the joy that was set before him, he endured the cross despising the shame.

Imagine despising the shame and not paying attention to the pain in his body; he disconnected from the pain and the shame; consider him, lest ye faint in your minds.

#Purpose 2 Samuel 9: 1-13

Purpose and assignment; purpose is the reason why you’re here but assignment is what will change your life. Our study from the book of 2 Samuel chapter 9 where we see David after a long battle asked if there was anyone from Saul’s house who was still alive such that he could show that person kindness. Wherever you are, no matter your situation, you could be crippled but stay alive and don’t die. This is not time for you to give up. Someone is about to call you just like Jonathan’s son (Mephibosheth) was called from Lo Debar to sit with royalty. You’re about to go to a place where you have never been before and God has already placed you in a position where authority will know you. I declare, you have a seat on a table of royalty and decision making, and that’s what we call the purpose.

There was a purpose in Saul’s family where his son Jonathan was meant to be the next king of Israel and that purpose was destroyed by Saul because of the mistakes he made but we see his grandson, Mephibosheth sitting with royalty [2 Samuel 9:7]. It doesn’t matter how low you are, you could have even lost your dignity but I am here to encourage you that you are about to come out stronger; the king is about to call you and restoration is coming to you. First of all, do you know who you’re? You are from the royal blood lineage and Jesus is right now talking to the Father about you. He called you his brother. Beloved, once you’re royal, you will always be royal. It doesn’t matter, you could have been damaged but there’s a seat for you at the king’s table and you’re gonna dine with a man after God’s own heart. This is where we learn purpose; the purpose is that your life gets restored. Child of God, people are gonna know who you’re, where you come from and the heart of the king because the king doesn’t forget. I prophesy, someone is about to remember you!

You must know the purpose of your life. You must stay alive and not die. Don’t roam around and risk contracting COVID-19 and to you who has it, God is gonna heal you. This story of Mephibosheth reveals how God thinks of us; no one is gonna sit in your seat. David said bring me his seat here at the table. After this pandemic, the king is gonna pull you back, and God is also gonna pull you out of lack. Mephibosheth said, “What [is] your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?” [2 Samuel 9:8] Beloved, stop calling yourself finished. Don’t ever call yourself a dog. Some of you, your personal dreams have been destroyed and the enemy is rejoicing but don’t say you are finished. Ziba had pretended that he was taking care of Mephibosheth yet he wasn’t because of the confession Mephibosheth made before David that “I’m as dead as a dog.” I declare, those who have been pretending to take care of you are about to become your servants because this is now the flip of the coin [2 Samuel 9:10-11].

This is the message that is now coming to the whole of Africa, “Stay alive and don’t die”. Africa, you are not a dead dog, you’re a child of God. Pastor, preacher don’t get Covid-19, stay alive. You’re Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan and a grandson of the King, your grandfather never fought to become king. He was a choice of God. He was just looking for his father’s donkeys when the prophet found him and anointed him to be the king. Lady, you could have left that man after salvation and now he’s sleeping with every woman on the village, chances are that he has AIDS but don’t call him for food now, hold on because help is on the way and restoration is coming to you. There’s a God who supplies, He will cause the ravens that fed Elijah to come and feed you. He will send you to a widow to feed you. Allow the Holy Ghost to work in your home. The devil wants to bring fear in you but trust in the Lord. Defeat Lucifer now because the presence of God is surrounding you. You’re coming out of that situation, and whatever you’re going through right now is just temporary; knowledge and money are about to come to you. You’re a king’s son and daughter. The Lord is about to restore and increase you. I declare, people are gonna work for you, and I prophesy, they will come and work in your field; you’re gonna come up with witty innovations. 

We always name our children names of great people but Mephibosheth was so crippled that he named his son a name of his servant [2 Samuel 9:12]. I have good news for you today that people are gonna know you and they will never forget you. I decree and declare that the Lord is about to restore you. You have an assignment and a purpose, and you are coming out of Lo Debar.

Declare: Lord, “I’m coming out of Lo Debar, the lowest life. You’re building and increasing me; I surrender and come to you; I am gonna feast at Your table and in Your presence, my life is changing.”

Thank you for always having been part of our E-Sunday service right there in the comfort of your house and it’s my prayer that you will purpose to stay alive and not die during this COVID-19 Pandemic lock down. Remember that God knows you by name and He is gonna restore and build you!
