#Sunday Night, Oct-19th
It’s either NOW or NEVER. You must receive power, and you receive power when the Holy Ghost has come upon you. So we know how we get the power; we get the power when the Holy Spirit has come upon us. Acts 1:8, But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you. And we overcame by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and we love not our lives unto death [Revelation 12:11]. But we receive power after the Holy Spirit has descended on us. Why do we receive power? Remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as [it is] this day [Deuteronomy 8:18]. So He gives you power which is in His throne by the way of the Holy Spirit. I trust you understand what I’m telling you: so you need the Holy Ghost to receive the power, and when you receive that power, you’re going to create and make wealth. It is He who gives you power to create wealth. You’re going to get it and create it. He gives you the power by the Holy Spirit to create wealth.
There are seven reasons why God gives power to the church, to the believer and to you. The first reason why He gives you power is to become a child of God; But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God [John 1:12]. Why children? Previously, I told you that I have children (a son and two daughters), and the difference between my children and other children is because they can have access to me at any time they want; even in the middle of the night and in the morning. If one cannot feel well, he can come. He has access because I am his father. When you become a son of God, you get access to the throne room of God any time, any moment, any hour, and He will talk to you even in the bathroom, bedroom or in the car. You can talk to Daddy. God is your Father. You have access to your Father anytime. You don’t have to go through a pastor, you can call direct your Father, and tell Him, My Father in heaven, I have problems. I remember when I used to go to Lakewood Church to preach. I used to pray for the sick with Mama Dodie Osteen (the mother of Joel Osteen) and she was amazing. God healed her of cancer (which nearly killed her) but this woman of God overcame the cancer. And as I was praying for the sick, we could lay on them hands together because she had an anointing to overcome cancer, because when my daughter was sick, she was among the very few people I told. She is a very close friend of mine. I told her, my daughter has cancer but you have overcome it. I asked her to pray for me. And I remember, we were seated in a Houston restaurant having dinner near Galleria, one of the biggest malls in the United States, and she said, I am going to buy your daughter a dress. I am going to pray, you will take it and make her wear it. Child of God, listen, because she was an overcomer, I could pray with her for my miracle. You need to start hanging out with overcomers. Sometimes we hangout with people who play it safe. Sometimes you are hanging out with survivors but you need to hangout with overcomers. One thing I learnt from her was that her prayer life was different. The way she was approaching heaven was different. This is what she could do; “Oh my Father, oh Lord my Father, oh God my Father” and that’s how she prayed. And together, we could see miracles. People of God, you need to get someone who knows God and who has access to the Father.
He gave us power to become sons and daughters of God. God is Your Dad and Your Father. He knows you and He hears you. One time a prophet said, Abraham is our father though he doesn’t know us but You know us. I tell you, Abraham doesn’t know Dr. Robert Kayanja. When we go to heaven, Abraham will say, who are you? Because all his children non of them is black. Isaac was not black, Jacob was neither, Ismael was not. But Jehovah knows you and I. Though Abraham doesn’t know us, God knows us. Isaiah 63:16, Doubtless thou [art] our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, [art] our father, our redeemer; thy name [is] from everlasting. In other words, we have access because of the blood of Jesus and the power of the Holy Ghost.
Child of God, you have access to the Father but it comes by the power of the Holy Spirit. I remember when God was talking to us about 77Days of Glory Revival. He first began with 50 crusades. When we reached crusade 49 which is a root number of 7; 7*7 is 49. He told us 77 Days of Glory. And in the D.O.Gs, God spoke to us clearly because He knew that COVID-19 was coming. He warned us but we didn’t pay attention as a nation, and as a church as well. God told Uganda that something terrible was coming but we became scientific about it; we started explaining things in our own way. God warned Uganda and Africa that COVID-19 was coming. Did we know? When did He warn us? 2 Chronicles 7:13 says, If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, (Uganda, for seven months we had no rain. God shut up the heavens. You saw the drought but did we pay attention? No, we started explaining it scientifically). Child of God, let me warn you; the way you respond to the Father, is the same way He will respond to you. This is what He said, “if you give sparingly, you will reap sparingly. With the same measure you give, so shall you receive” [2 Corinthians 9:6]. If you respond by repentance, He will respond with mercy. If you respond by forgiving, He will forgive you. If you respond with joy, He will surprise you. If you come boldly before Him, He will come boldly to you. I heard how people were responding, and because we responded scientifically. See now, all things that we do are scientific: scientific wedding, services, funerals and graduations. The way you respond to God, is the same way He will respond to you. They explained the drought, that because the seas and water bodies are too cold, that’s why we don’t get the rain. God said, okay but I warned you because I love you. He said, okay, let me give you the second sign. Did we see locusts? Did He send us locusts? Instead of asking, first it was drought, and now it’s locusts, what is coming? They rather explained it scientifically. The locusts lay eggs in the desert sand, and after 25 days, then they hatch. That’s why we have locusts. These locusts were biblical proportions which have never been seen before. They ravaged Yemen, came to Somali, Ethiopia, Kenya and they were coming here but we prayed. “I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land,” Now number 3, “if I send pestilence.” COVID-19 is a pestilence. Now what are you waiting for? Is it number 4?? Why you? Why me? Why now?
Before He releases number 4, He has said, He has posed and squeezed in something; If my people [you and I], 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, [I will come down] and will heal their land [2 Chronicles 7:14]. Saints, are you waiting for Him to bring the fourth thing? So, He gives us power to become sons of God. To have access to the Almighty God. The second reason why He gives us power is to be His witnesses.
Friends, I have to end this text here, and I trust you have been blessed!
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.
